There’s something about walking into Brooklyn French Bakers that feels instantly transportive—like stepping into a corner boulangerie in Paris, where everything smells like crusty sourdough and mornings start with delicious purpose.
Beyond the glossy pastries and macarons, the bread here is its own story: hearty loaves, rustic baguettes, and beautifully blistered crusts, all made with time, care, and that unmistakable French precision.
And tucked among the shelves, you’ll find jars from Madeleine & Co.—made the old-school way by a fellow French expat, Corinne Ouelhadj Engel, who shares the same dedication to craft. Her jams are small-batch and seasonal, with just a few simple ingredients and a whole lot of soul. The kind of addition that turns a slice of bread into something unmistakably French and memorable.
