Simple Loaf Bakehouse

A garden patio behind the dining room gives this Park Slope bakery a second room when the weather holds, with sourdough and French croissants baked fresh each morning. The kouign amann skips the aggressive sweetness some bakeries lean on, and a roasted tomato and kale danish covers the savory end of the case. Order at the counter for a croissant to go, or sit down for soup, a sandwich, or a full breakfast off the same kitchen. Weekends get busy enough that a table isn't guaranteed, so weekday mornings are the calmer bet.
