The best bakeries Côte Est Etats-Unis

New Yorkers are ready to queue for a long time to get this cookie stamped best cookie in the city by a large number of foodies. Fortunately, this address is not the most popular (it is the original shop opened in 1995, which is on the Upper West Side), but in any case, the wait seems ridiculous when you finally bite into the precious sesame: melting and crispy at the same time, there is little chance that you have ever eaten a better one. Whatever your choice, you will be won over.

A relaxed café-bakery, which offers a wide variety of pastries (éclairs, chocolate mousse, gooseberry pies but also American specialties such as the excellent banana bread), sandwiches and salads. The menu changes according to the seasons and the mood of the chef. One of the strong points of the place are its croissants and pain au chocolat, which are much better than in most American cafés. Flour Bakery is located next to the Boston Children's Museum, but there are several addresses in Boston.

A real bakery as it exists (almost) only in France. Just look at the opening hours, quite unusual in the city that never sleeps: after 1pm, don't expect to offer yourself a good chocolate croissant or the best baguette in New York (and we weigh our words), you'll have to wait until the next day. Everything is fresh and home-made, and the coffee is excellent too. The owner, a Frenchman, is a globe-trotting baker who made his debut in France before leaving for the four corners of the world to make the country shine.

Building on his success in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, this French-born baker has decided to open a second location on the chic Upper East Side. Julien trained at a pastry school in Paris and worked for 10 years with the renowned chef François Payard, who is no longer in the limelight in New York. His New York bakeries offer delicious artisanal pastries and viennoiseries made with love. Whether you prefer butter croissants, macaroons or strawberry tarts, you will find what you are looking for!

With its warm atmosphere and bright setting, this coffee shop is the perfect place for a coffee break when visiting the neighborhood. Many New York University students work here, which gives the place a studious and peaceful atmosphere. We like the wooded decoration and the large bay windows which allow us to indulge in the art of people-watching, that is to say to observe the passers-by while quietly sipping a frothy latte. You can nibble good breads and pastries on the spot.

This is an American specialty that these restaurants have for breakfast or dinner. Mae will serve you only the traditional: eggs as you like them (omelette, fried, fried, fried, Bénédicte or sandwich...), pancakes, French toast, waffles (Belgian waffle). A little later in the morning, the more invigorating dishes arrive in force: burgers and sandwiches as thick as the phone book. Cheap and efficient. The locals know the place and often meet there for the weekend brunch.

This café-bakery is one of Burlington's most coveted addresses for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The bread is made on the premises, with artisanal quality. From homemade granola and cookies to divine cinnamon rolls, avocado toast, salmon and polenta eggs, sandwiches and salads, everything is fresh and made to order. The restaurant has an indoor dining room and a few tables on the sunny terrace once the weather warms up. A great way to start the day!
