Fresh baked baguettes? — Brooklynian

Fresh baked baguettes?

I am curious what people think are the better options for fresh loaves of French bread are in the slope area. I generally think that a bakery that does bread really will is rarer then one that does good pasteries.

Thanks!

    I don't think anyone actually bakes baguette in PS.
    But lots of places accept delivery of good bread from Royal Crown, Amy's, Bread Alone, etc.
    Or am I missing someplace that really bakes bread here?

    I cant think of anywhere closer than Court St. But the bread that the Key Food on 5th gets is really good. I love to go early on Sat or Sun and get it while its warm. There's always that end piece that seems to be missing by the time I get home :wink:

    Colson and Grab have amazing baguettes. My brother in law is French and last weekend while he was visiting he couldn't believe how authentic the baguettes were from Colson.

    The best place that I've found in NoSlo is D'Vine Taste on 7th Ave and Garfield. They've got a lot of great bread... I usually go for the baguette with onion or the ciabatta.

    Best baguettes I've had - although out of PS, were at Fairway. They make them every hour or so during prime time and they're hot and crusty!

    Blue Sky also sells a mean one but I think they get them from Amy's or Eli's.

    Another vote for Colson - their almond croissants are pretty good as well and I like the shop (with nice pictures, no WiFi).

    that's a good thing I think... the seating is too limited for someone to sit for hours on his or her lapotop.

    I'd never been to Colson, but after seeing this thread I stopped by on my way home yesterday. Nice place, and the pastries seem a good size for the price. I only got cocoa and a couple of cookies, but I'll be back to try the baguettes.

    i have not tried Colson, but for those of you who have... what do you recommend? i mean, besides bread. is there a particular pastry or cookie you think is outstanding? something that would make it worth a visit in this cold?

    the financiers ... delish! You can buy them buy the piece, or they sell a bag at the counter $5 for 6 I think. You'll want to eat more than one...mmm

    Colson - financiers - YES
    They are small round thick cookies, with bottom layer fudge-y coin, top layer buttery goodness. Which totally confused me when I went to Joyce and the finacier was a small loaf (eau de gold bar, keeping with the money theme)
    Any pastry expert care to 'splain this to me? Is it Belgium v France or something?

    I really like the amond/cherry scones.
    My son likes their yogurt topped with
    granola and raisons and strawberries.
    Their "morning rolls" are yummy too.

    This is a deal - after 5PM their morning items are two for one - if
    there's anything left.

    I wish I'd known about that 2-for-1 deal when I stopped by last night - there were scones and croissants left! Next time...

    Union Market on 6th Av, and Union has excellent baguettes. Made elsewhere but always fresh.

    You must goto Grab (used to be Blue Ribbon...much better! :) )

    7th Ave, corner of 15th St.

    They have lots of fresh bread...and baguettes. Was just there Sat. and we grabbed a yummy loaf of rye.
