This funky Bed-Stuy bakery/cafe run by a husband-and-wife team is appreciated for its housemade breads (its cheddar loaves are a signature, as are the cracked wheat), red velvet cake and other sweets, as well as panini; its warm wood-accented space serves as something of a gathering spot, a venue for kids’art classes and a place for local artists to display their works.

Our block of Lewis Avenue between Decatur and MacDonough Sts. came in 1st place in the commercial category.
