Radio Bakery in Greenpoint is the laminated-pastry one to know. L'Appartement 4F and Mary O's both started during COVID, necessity bakeries by their founders, and have stuck. Kora in Sunnyside is Filipino-Italian fusion done at a high level.
The Pastry Box and From Lucie are East Village stops for ambitious pastries and flower-topped cakes. Hani's nearby may have the best chocolate chip cookie in the city.
