A new addition to Bushwick’s culinary scene promises residents a charming way to get that confectionary fix. Located at the corner of Star St. and Central Ave, the bakery aptly named Bushwick Bakery opened just last week. “People noticed we were here before we even opened because of the smell, you can smell it outside,” co-owner Steve Mark Sciacca explained after I remarked upon being overtaken by the deliciousness wafting about.

Owners Jean-Pierre Marquet and Steve Sciacca opened Mominette in 2012 (in case you’ve been under a rock, that’s the the French bistro on Knickerbocker Ave known for delicious brunch, jazz and oysters.) Their métier is pioneering establishments throughout the city of New York, and Steve notes that “when we first opened Mominette there really wasn’t as much here.”  Jean-Pierre is a household name and the recipient of much press for opening the first French bakery on Smith St. when nothing of its kind exited. He turned out croissants that had the city all abuzz and has since opened other successful bakeries and eateries (Le Barricou, for example).

Nom, $2 almond croissant is the way to go.
