Fonda, the owner of Zuzu’s Petals, has been observing the renovation of a new shop called, Brooklyn Bread on Fifth Avenue and 6th Street in Park Slope. They’re good neighbors, too. They asked Fond, who’s shop is on the same block, to service their floral needs. Nice.

we are getting a new neighbor on the corner of 5th avneue and 6th street. it is called brooklyn bread.

they have another place on court street. they have totally gutted the inside of what used to be a real estate agency and have done the sort of work on the outside of the building that only an owner might do…removing paint, resurfacing brick walls, repairing masonry from top to bottom… a former eyesore( to me) is now an attractive welcoming space.

inside looks as if no expense was spared. beautiful ceramic tiles, textured walls, lots of small tables. they bill themselves as a bakery and cafe…another destination if you have  time to spend over a cup of coffee or just want to grab a quick bite. i think they will be open early and close late…someone told me they would do 24 hours but i haven’t heard that from the owners. they plan to open with in the next week to 10 days.
