Fonda at Zuzu’s Petals sent word that Brooklyn Bread, the new Fifth Avenue bread bakery is OPEN:
Brooklyn Bread finally opened on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 6th Street. it is a great looking space. no expense was spared in renovating what used to be a very neglected spot on our block. It is very welcoming: open, bright and airy with lots of tables and gleaming cases filled with great looking pastries and BREAD! finally ! good bread!
They also make sandwiches,paninis, salads and wraps to go or eat in.
yesterday the Zuzus were very busy making beautiful flower arrangements for an event this Sunday, so we didn’t get a chance to fully investigate the menu.We did loan our new neighbors some of our special vases so they could put flowers on the tables.
We celebrate their arrival and are thrilled with this new addition to our end of Fifth Avenue.
a timely opening indeed–delicious baked italian goodies–a cross between the old Regina bakery on 7th Ave, and Venieros in the East Village…luckily closer in quality and variety to Venieros!! ( and DiRoberti’s if you remember our old favorite haunt)
(except for the bagels…which do not quite come close to the classically amazing ones from Bagel World on 4th st at 5th ave…but good enough for non-bagel connoisseurs–or those who prefer more bread-like bagels) there is a good range of breads, and enough seating to feel welcome to sit cafe style, not just take-out.
nice birthday-able cakes, and heavenly chocolate hazelnut cookies…
once they figure out a way to order the coffee at the baked goods register and not have to wait on a separate coffee line…they will have it down!
