Weve composed a list of New Yorks best bakeries so that, no matter where you are in the city, youll never be far from deliciousness.
Levain Bakery
Got a hankering for cinnamon brioche? How about a slice of pumpkin ginger spice bread? Well, youre in luck. The Levain Bakery specialises in mouth-watering treats, each morsel utterly divine. Their cookies in particular are amazing; crunchy on the outside and gooey in the middle, a cookie dough lovers idea of heaven. We recommend the dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookie, which is equal measures sweet and savoury; although anything you order is sure to be a winner.
Momofuku
Whether youre craving something sweet or savoury, Momofouku is at your service. From pretzel milk to pumpkin pie cake, this trendy and exciting bakery serves all manner of delicious baked goods with unusual twists.

Scratchbread
Situated in the heart of Brooklyn, Scratchbread excels in baking exquisite breads, from focaccia with rosemary, sea salt and chilli to bourbon wheat with pecans. Everything is made with love, with the shops bread artisans only using superior ingredients to produce each loaf. Scratchbread also serves a variety of pastry goods and savoury foods (the kale ceasar salad is particularly delicious and is veggie-friendly), along with a range of sauces which are always a hit with customers.

A delicious cross between a cake and pancake, dinkies fit into the palm of your hand and come with a vast variety of fillings and toppings, both savoury and sweet.

Went to Momofouku back in Dec. and couldn’t have been more disappointed. The cookies are now mass-produced and pre-packaged at a plant in Brooklyn. Total waste of my money. Don’t waste yours, either. Go to Sullivan Street or The City Bakery, esp. City.
