Since this new spot has been anointed as one of the next buzzy bakeries, and since I do like Zoë Kanan and Court Street Grocers, I decided to check it out on a weekday afternoon. What I got:
Honey challah braid: First bite was good, but too one-note and cloyingly sweet every bite after that. Would skip unless you love sweet.
Roll with butter (forgot the specific name): Actually pretty good, but this mostly comes down to the nice slab of butter sandwiched in the middle. Bread was fine. Wouldn’t object to getting this again, but you could easily recreate yourself tbh.
Salted sweet potato pretzel (served with side of mustard): A fine pretzel, baked and formed well, but couldn’t really tell what the sweet potato added. Essentially tasted like a regular pretzel, and not even as good as some others in the city. (Librae does great ones with toppings.) Would skip. Maybe the cinnamon sugar one is better?
Overall cost about $21 for three items.
Ultimately, wouldn’t go out of my way to try again.
