Grandaisy Bakery
8.1
A Tribeca bakery-café that’s strongest when you treat it like an Italian-leaning carb pit stop: bread, a pastry, and one savory square. The best items feel rustic and handmade, with a low-key neighborhood rhythm that rewards repeat visits.

Croissant, Vegetable-topped focaccia square, Roman-style pizza slice
