Photo: Melissa Hom Brooklyn’s all-day café explosion has brought an unexpected perk: All sorts of new pastry cases brimming with modern, thoughtful baked goods. There’s the expanded pastry case at MeMe’s Diner, a function of the restaurant’s push into daytime service, the Taiwanese-inspired delights at Win Son Bakery, the eye-popping Italian-American offerings from Ciao, Gloria, and two more spots.
“I feel like you can’t just open up a coffee shop or a bakery and just be like, ‘Well, we sell bread and we sell pastries,’” Spence says. “It’s like ‘Well, are they good?’ You can’t be cheap about things. It just shows.
“These are elements that read Italian, read American,” says owner Renato Poliafito. “And I think it’s the perfect example of what we are.”Babka is, arguably, the single most comforting pastry known to man. And yet, Gertie’s Nick Sanchez found a way to improve it further. He started by turning it into a muffin, for easier transport, and then smothering it in butter that’s mixed with wildflower honey from upstate. “I’m from Texas and honey butter is a big thing back home,” Sanchez says.
