L’Appartement 4F began as a hobby for French expat Gautier Coiffard, who started experimenting with sourdough and croissant lamination during the pandemic. Encouraged by his wife, Ashley, they began selling their baked goods to friends, colleagues, and soon enough — to strangers.
The baked goods quickly gained popularity, leading them to open a storefront in Brooklyn Heights. Their success is evident by long lines every morning, everyone eager to get their hands on some authentic French pastries. Within a year, locals began billing this as the best bakery in Brooklyn, largely thanks to the exceptional croissants, especially ‘Le Framboise,’ a raspberry-chocolate-almond croissant.
Another big deal is the viral petite croissant cereal (each tiny croissant is hand-rolled in small batches). They only make a few boxes each day are notorious for selling out at opening. As mentioned, there’s almost always a line, but if you’re walking by and the line is short, pop in for some of the best baked goods in Brooklyn Heights (the coffee is great, too!).
