PrintThe Newest Great Bakery in New York: Trois Pommes
Well, I finally got Serious Eater Adam Kuban to stop at Trois Pommes (it's a block from his house, so I don't think it was an unreasonable request), and I have to say that Emily Isaac's bakery is already a top ten New York bakery, and it's quite possible that it could make it into my top five or even—perish the thought—my top three. And I have seriously high standards for bakeries and a bad jones for good baked goods. Serious Eaters, if you've been, let me know what you've tried.
This is what Adam brought in:
An extraordinary chocolate chip scone, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
- A mini-pumpkin cheesecake studded with pumpkin seeds that was refreshingly unsweet
- A moist and sticky sticky bun loaded with flavor
- A solid if unspectacular banana bread
- A creamy, perfect, lovely mini-quiche lorraine
- An eminently skippable croissant
I look forward to trying many more things at Trois Pommes.
Here's a Chowhound thread that's generally quite positive.

Had to comment on this so I joined. Trois Pomme has the most amazing mini peach-raspberry pies, tart without being obnoxiously sweet and the crust crisp and delicious. Beware the ones made with white peaches - that should be outlawed. Their key lime pie is deliciously sour.
That is all.

I'll see if I can remember to bring in both the items you mention, suzin910.

Ed, since you touched upon the topic of your top 10/5/3 bakeries, could you tell us who makes those lists? Thanks for all the wonderful information.

I assume Ed does. That's why we love him.

Foodboy, I will try to post my bakery lists in the coming weeks. Bakery lists are fun. These lists will prove especially helpful for the holidays.
