Bushwick Bakery Rebounds From COVID and a Recent Fire To Become One of the ‘Hottest Restaurants in Bushwick’

Despite the global pandemic and small fire that erupted this past July, Bushwick Bakery is experiencing business like never before. The local eatery’s recent customer boom has allowed it to extend its hours and add plated, made-to-order desserts, like crème brûlée, to its menu. 

At the start of the pandemic, Bushwick Bakery owners Jean-Pierre Marquet and Steve Sciacca, who also own the local French bistro Mominette and Italian restaurant Pizzette, were hit hard. They were forced to temporarily close both Mominette and Pizzette. But they had different plans for Bushwick Bakery, which sits on the corner of Starr Street and Central Avenue.
