Enjoy any of their croissants (sweet or savory), or pick up bread for a dinner party! Though there's a lot of traffic, there's always a table to work (and Wi-Fi) and the staff is super friendly.
Best spot for in the area to get your PSL fix. Be sure to pick up a croissant (especially the almond croissant if you're early/lucky enough) You won't regret it!
EM H.February 9, 2014The Cherry Pan Dolce ($7) is very good. I think they only make 4 at a time and they sell out quick. They let us reserve one when we went in to pick up 30 mins later when they were done.
Connie ChiuAugust 16, 2014The croissants are perfectly flaky and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside all at the same time! The almond chocolate croissant was perfect. Has free wifi and a great outdoor space.
David SimonsJune 12, 2015The Tebrike pastry is absolutely delicious. Never ate this anywhere else. For the coffee though better to go around the block to Blue Bottle in my opinion.
Michelle WendyDecember 10, 2013Awesome selection of teas including Harney & Sons (my fave). The variety will please anyone-they carry it all from South African Rooibos to pomegranate oolong. Not selling jams & jellies currently.
Perhaps the best breads in the city. While everything really is great here, I go for the miche, but often get the campagne as it is easier for a morning toast. Do try the carrot and onion tartine.- Village VoiceNovember 26, 2012Turns out some of the best breads and pastries in the city. Perfect croissants, miche and our summer was spent obsessing over the cantaloupe and chocolate tart. Critics' choice for best pastries!
Leah Zelazny PoswolskyDecember 27, 2012amazing amazing amazing.. You'll be very tempted by all the artisanal breads and pastries.. Try the Athena on sunflower seed bread and the pain de chocolat..the free wifi is just an added bonus!
Sharon P.November 30, 2014The chocolate croissant is made of infinite layers and filled with just enough chocolate to satiate your sweet tooth. They serve Joe coffee!
The Miche is their signature bread, but everything is baked fresh that morning so you can't go wrong.Try everything! The croissants are known for their amazing crispy flaky crust and buttery insides
The pain de mie (not miche) is quite possibly the best toast bread you'll ever have. Buttery. Heavenly. Perfection. As for pastries the apple cardamom Danish is divine as is the plain croissant.- Village VoiceFebruary 7, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Bien Cuit to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. The Sicilian Breakfast Pizza is a thick square of warm pastry and tomato-ey goodness.
Inna GDecember 27, 2018Great lunch spot. Turkey croissant ,passion fruit.sesame cheesecake are great for dessert
Dorothy LêSeptember 30, 2016Best croissants and challah in NYC. Get there early Friday's for the challah for Shabbat
Great place to sit and get work done for a few hours. Delicious pastries, too! I recommend the cucumber sandwich for a light lunch.
Anna YeJune 1, 2014Best local spot in Brooklyn! Classic Almond croissant for early birds or call them to reserve them!
Can't go wrong with anything baked here. Croissants, Chive Pain Au Lait and Broa De MIlho are all amazing and musts to purchase.
If I were a loaf of bread, I would have liked to be baked here.
Breanne SmithFebruary 11, 2015Coffee is pretty good. Free Wi-Fi: "croissant" is the password. Good coffee music and a decent seating area
eric bornemannJuly 19, 2020Awesome place for coffee and croissants either the morning type it the savory sandwich at lunch with turkey.
Magdalena WelczAugust 28, 2019Good coffee. Pastries are sometimes burnt. All croissants are huge and good value. Nice decor
Delicious, though somewhat overpriced, breads and pastries. Im especially a big fan of their assorted croissants.
Damola AbiolaNovember 26, 2012If u live in BK Heights, it's worth the 0.5 mile walk to come here to study. Great sandwiches and coffee, free wifi, good-looking people. Do it.
Lovely place to sit and have breakfast, with fresh croissants and great iced coffee. The quiche is delicious too.
Village VoiceAugust 8, 2012We'd go for tarts, croissants and pains au chocolat; these beautiful pastries will leave you weak in the knees. #1 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York!- Justin HSeptember 1, 2016Best almond croissants in New York, hands-down. Not to mention perhaps the best regular croissant too.
AlyenaDecember 18, 2015Best bread and croissants in America. Quiet nice classic French bakery. Bien Cuit made my day today.
CITY GRITAugust 5, 2014We’re not sure what we love most – the Pain Au Raisin Brioche or the Bergamot & Prune Danish. So we suggest you get both, and a Malted Muesli Cookie for the road!
Michelle C.June 8, 2017Saw on unique sweets. They highlighted the twice baked almond croissant and the caramel hazelnut pear tart- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Croissants are cooked nice and dark, for crisp tops and bottoms but airy centers; the miche is seriously crusty and full of character.

You honestly can't go wrong with any baked good here. Especially love the ham and Brie croissant!
David BlackmanApril 1, 2014The chocolate chip shortbread cookies are amazing. Nutty caramel flavor from the very dark dough. Only $1.50
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Come to Bien Cuit for lunch and try out rotating sandwiches like roast beef, muenster, caramelized onions, and horseradish mayo. Read more
It pains me a little to say this of my favorite bakery, but it seems the quality has slipped since the "pastry chef wanted" sign went up in the window. Maybe give it a wait until they find someone new- Village VoiceJanuary 28, 2013Pizza with no cheese…how…and more importantly, why? But the Sicilian Breakfast Pizza is a thick square of warm pastry and tomato-ey goodness.
They have possibly the best croissants in NYC. Matcha latte is also top notch.
Their croissants are a must have, try the chocolate almond croissant if you're in the mood for something sweet.
Major GuyJune 2, 2013Pretty much all the pastries here are delicious. Own personal faves include the apple cardamom danish and the almond croissant.
Bien Cuit can do no wrong; their first day in business and they are ready to rock with amazing breads and pastries, coffee, teas and a lovely staff as well! Artichoke goat cheese wins the prize.
Jastine KhoMarch 23, 2017I would like to give a shoutout to their cookies- they are worth raving about as much as their croissants- Village VoiceSeptember 16, 2011The zuccini sandwich made up of roasted zuccini, black olives and roast garlic spread will satisfy both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!
Erica GorochowMarch 27, 2013The plain croissants are as good (if not better) than anything I've had in France. The loaves of bread are equally outstanding.
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended: Baguette, sunflower-rye bread, sandwiches, almond-pear danish, peach-and-raspberry tart, cauliflower-and-Brie tart, croissants. Read more
