Simple Loaf Bakehouse
310 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“This Brooklyn bakehouse is a pastry lover's dream with an impressive display of fresh breads and savory bakes that make choosing almost impossibly hard—think cheese Danes, ham and cheese croissants, and turkey jalapeño varieties alongside quality breakfast sandwiches. The shotgun layout creates an exciting visual gauntlet as you enter, and while the coffee is solid and fairly priced, it's really the exceptional baked goods and comfortable mix of quick-grab and lingering-friendly seating that keeps locals coming back.”

Don’t know what I use to see long lines here before in the morning. Place seems pretty regular not groundbreaking. Good customer service and coffee. Cookies were half and half. Good prices but nothing spectacular.
4.5🌟 Turkey sandwich was very good, definitely worth getting the full sandwich and taking the other half to go if you can’t finish it all (just bc the cost of half is expensive). Breakfast tacos were also good, but towards the third one it got a bit too soggy and hard to eat. 95% of the pastries were gone by Sunday afternoon, but that just shows they’re pretty popular.
This bake shop is a gem. Fresh bread, pastries, and savory bakes line the counter as you walk in making it very hard to choose. But choose you must as the shotgun layout of the entry means you have little time to make a decision before it’s your turn. The great thing is everything tastes delicious so you can’t go wrong, honestly. They also offer a variety of coffee and tea. Prices are so very reasonable considering the quality of the bakes. 💖
This is an amazing bakery in Brooklyn with a great selection of pastries, wish I could have gone back to try more items. Everything we got was excellent and there's a lot of seating inside and out in the courtyard. Highly recommend trying some of their baked goods and the avocado toast.
I love this place so much! One of my favorite bakeries in the neighborhood. The pastries are incredible! Here are some of my favorites: Cheese Danish, Ham & Cheese Croissant, Turkey Jalapeño Croissant, Chocolate Almond Croissant, Lemon Poppy Muffin & Salted Caramel Flan Pasticeri. Everything tastes so fresh & the quality of the ingredients are really good. Also, the cappuccino is delicious! It gets really busy on the weekends. There is indoor & outdoor seating. The staff are always friendly & helpful!
