ABOUT US

Located on the corner of Columbia & Kane in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, Laurel Bakery is just a short walk from Brooklyn Bridge Park. Open for retail, Saturday through Monday 8am-4pm, we serve freshly baked pastries—both classic and seasonal—along with loaves, baguettes, and our popular amazake focaccia. Our coffee is roasted locally at SEY and paired with our house-made almond and sunflower seed milks.

At Laurel Bakery, every loaf, pastry, and treat tells a story—starting with exceptional ingredients. We prioritize high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients to craft our baked goods. Our all-purpose and high-gluten flours are from Central Milling, a Utah-based, employee-owned company with over 150 years of milling experience. Known for premium, unbleached, organic, and non-GMO flours, Central Milling ensures exceptional flavor and performance. For whole wheat and rye flours, we partner with River Valley Community Grains in Marksboro, New Jersey, whose regenerative farming practices produce nutrient-dense, locally sourced flours that support community and environmental health.

We accept pre-orders and large orders online for pastries, sandwiches, and breads to make event hosting easy, and our wholesale program runs 7 days a week and supplies pastries and breads to restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops across Brooklyn. You can find our products at sister restaurants Oxalis, Place des Fêtes, and Cafe Mado, as well as other local cafes and eateries.

We are open Saturday through Monday 8am - 4pm.

Craig Escalante

A California native, Craig began his baking journey in New York City in 2012, honing his craft at some of the city's great pastry and bread programs, including Scratchbread, Bien Cuit, and Sadelle's. Over the years, he's led teams at Bartlett House in Ghent, NY, and Essen Bakery in Philadelphia, refining his expertise in both classic and modern techniques. Since joining Laurel earlier this year, Craig has brought his wealth of experience and passion for baking to our menu, crafting French and European breads and pastries that reflect tradition while embracing a modern touch. Together with a talented team, Craig is dedicated to creating bakes that are as thoughtful as they are delicious-an approach that defines everything we do here at Laurel.
