Price
Pros:
- "Price is expensive, though standard for Brooklyn."
- "Very talented group of bakers making everything from pastries to various breads at reasonable prices."
- "$1.75 for a very soft, delicious chocolate chip cookie. 4 stars because the selection is somewhat limited."
- "I like using the too good to go program here as well."
- "The location was very nice, with plenty of tables and an outdoor space."
- "Nice place with lots of selections between artisanal breads & pastries."
- "This lovely bakery sells their goods to coffee shops and bakeries throughout the tristate area."
Cons:
- "Shame on you selling a dayβs old bread at 10.5$ for half a loaf."
- "Way too expensive. I'm french and these prices are laughable given that for the most part, their baked goods are just staples."
- "But $1.25 per slice of bread in a loaf. Absolutely crazy given two common ingredients are air and water and a sack of flour makes 50 loafs."
- "The prices are shocking... $16 for a loaf of rye bread or above $10 for a miniature quiche seems excessive."
- "Welcome to $16.00 per 12 inches of dry old bread... Dirty floor, no hair nets⦠amazing experience."
- "Itβs crazy to pay twenty bucks for a loaf of bread that the sharpest bread knife struggles to cut through."
- "But I find the system of paying on the iPad and the required step about tipping (with no privacy) just too oppressive."
