Crema's Take
“Chef Ariana's croissants are genuinely some of the best in NYC—butter-laminated, flaky, and worth seeking out even if you're skeptical of the hype. Beyond the pastries, the interactive croissant-making classes offer a rare chance to learn proper technique from someone who's perfected her craft, and the whole space radiates an authentic Parisian vibe without the pretension. If you're the type who gets genuinely excited about breakfast and doesn't mind splurging on quality, this is worth a trip to Brooklyn.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I stumbled upon a little piece of Paris in Brooklyn :) Atelier Ariana might make my favorite plain croissant in NYC—and that’s saying a lot since I usually go for the flavored ones. It is a charming bakery in Carroll Gardens serving artisan French pastries and desserts, curated…
