Description

This small Brooklyn bakery turns out some of the finest breads and pastries in the city. Croissants are cooked nice and dark, for crisp tops and bottoms but airy centers; the miche is seriously crusty and full of character; and we spent the whole summer obsessing over Bien Cuit's cantaloupe-and-chocolate tart. Zachary Golper and Kate Wheatcroft's neighborhood bakery is a real gem.

2011 | Best Daily Serving of Fruit

Since opening its doors in July, Bien Cuit has earned deserved acclaim for its fantastic breads. But its fruit tarts have also inspired devotion. Aesthetically, they walk a fine line between French-style OCD perfection and rustic nonchalance. The ripe, barely adulterated fruit demands to be admired and then wolfed down, as does the crisp, buttery crust. Like all great beauties, these tarts are equal parts style and substance. 120 Smith Street, Brooklyn, 718-852-0200, biencuit.com (11211) More »
