The Top 55 Bakeries in New York
The best bakeries in New York, by the professional record: Food & Wine, The New York Times, and 50 Best have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Lysée comes out on top, and the record runs deepest in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Radio Bakery and Kora hold the next two places. The Infatuation shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Eater next.

Rank 7. La Cabra
Danish Coffee
A U-shaped bar anchors this Danish coffee shop, where streamlined taps for cold drinks share space with a proper V60 setup and a counter lined with pastries worth stopping for. La Cabra built a following in Copenhagen before planting roots on the Lower East Side, and the East Village original still draws a crowd that treats croissants and a carefully pulled espresso as a reasonable reason to leave the house.

Rank 15. Runner & Stone
Bakery
The name nods to the two stones used to grind grain, and the flour-sack-shaped concrete blocks lining the walls suggest nobody here is being subtle about the theme. This Brooklyn bakery-restaurant splits its menu between sandwiches and salads, with the bread doing most of the talking. A Per Se alum runs the bakery side, which shows. Save room for dessert, then buy something extra for the walk home.
