My new all-time favorite bakery in the neighborhood is Birley Bakery. Everything about it is perfection. The downstairs is a little bakery — and the upstairs a tiny restaurant / cafe. Everything they sell is beyond delicious. For example, I don’t like almond croissants, but at least three times a week, I stop by and get an almond croissant. WHO KNEW? THEY ARE THAT GOOD.
Located on 69th between 5th and Madison — this bakery has the yummiest croissants, cookies, Madelines, cakes, bread, baguettes, everything.
The lemon cake is unbelievable.
The stairs leading up the stairs.
My power breakfast. This was coconut yogurt, topped with mango puree, cashews, banana, cacao, blueberries and pomegranate. DELICIOUS.
A piece of cake for my birthday to celebrate the big day.
If you are on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, GO! And if you are in London, they have two locations, so go! And get the almond croissants, the Madelines, and the lemon cake.
