Atelier Ariana

“Loved our croissant making class with Chef Ariana who is a wonderful, patient and accessible teacher. Went home with enough goodies to feed a small army. Highly recommend!”

“I stumbled upon a little piece of Paris in Brooklyn :) Atelier Ariana might make my favorite plain croissant in NYC--and that's saying a lot since I usually go for the flavored ones. It is a charming bakery in Carroll Gardens serving artisan French pastries and desserts, curated by Chef Ariana Barkin. Everything here is beautifully crafted. It's a quiet, relaxing cafe for getting work done on a weekday. I've already been to Atelier Ariana twice in a month. The staff couldn't have been sweeter. Big shoutout to Caroline for walking me through the menu and giving me great recs every time I visit. *Croissant $5 I could totally taste how fresh it was. Even at room temperature, it was still very flaky. The center was different from typical croissants, it was softer and fluffier, and wasn't overwhelmingly buttery either. It's a croissant I'd love to eat every day. *Strawberry Cake $6 I went with their spring special. The cake was filled with fresh strawberries and layered with jam, while the butter cake was incredibly moist and rich. So obsessed. *Gruyere and Rosemary Torsade $6 So aromatic and crunchy! I enjoyed the rosemary flavor. A solid savory pastry choice for breakfast. *Gateau Marbre $4 Highly recommended by Ariana and Caroline, I gave it a try and WOW, I got the hype! Imagine a fudgy and gooey brownie but better -- they blended hot fudge while making it. *Orange Almond Cake $3 Citrusy cake with a dense and moist texture, and it was gluten free! *Apricot Cookie, Strawberry Cookie $1.5/pc Seasonal cookies garnished with fruit jam. Fruity, bright, and buttery mini bites for summer. *Latte w. Oat Milk $5.9 The latte art really made my day. You don't usually get a solid latte at a bakery. The milk was well steamed, and the espresso-to-milk ratio was just right. The price even included alternative milk, which was a nice bonus.”

“The bakery has amazing pastries and delicious desserts! Step off the streets of Brooklyn and enter the heart of Paris! Such a great atmosphere and kind staff. 10/10 would recommend!”
