Breads Bakery - Brooklyn
20 Furman St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“This Brooklyn outpost of the beloved Breads Bakery has quickly become a neighborhood gem, thanks to its stunning location in Brooklyn Bridge Park and an uncommonly warm staff that makes every visit feel special. Their signature hot chocolate is genuinely iconic—rich and craveable enough to justify a trip on its own—but the real stars are the indulgent pastries, especially the thick-sliced chocolate babka that manages to be both decadent and perfectly balanced. With plenty of outdoor seating, a thoughtful menu that spans coffee and pastries to light breakfast and salads, it's the kind of place where you can linger over exceptional baked goods with a view that makes the whole experience feel effortless.”

I tried the chocolate babka at 1pm on Saturday and really liked it. No line up on a cold winter morning. Slice of chocolate babka was $5.95 and very rich, good chocolate flavour, and not too dense. Birbs will line up, very excited to wait for crumbs to drop. Great views of the Brooklyn bridge.
Oh my God. I just had an ICONIC HOT CHOCOLATE. The best I've had in a very long time. Also the staff is very warm and so kind, despite the cold and the crowd! This hot chocolate and kindness made my day, so thank you. .
The Brooklyn style babka pizza was interesting to try although I expected more for the money. No regrets and maybe a good thing to try to check a checkbox but I would not recommend this as a deliberate destination point
It’s the iconic BREADS BAKERY! Finally opened up its Brooklyn location with a breathtaking view in Brooklyn Bridge Park! For the last piece of pizza babka, nicely toasted and it tasted just perfect. Can’t express how amazing this is. IYKYK 😉
Finally a decent bakery in Dumbo! Lots of outdoor seating, lovely menu with pastries, sandwiches, salads and coffee. A great addition to the neighborhood!
