Master Critic Review

Northside Bakery 7.8
Williamsburg
Long-running Polish bakery-café and deli where sourdough loaves, babka, and simple hot plates share space in a no-frills room just off Bedford. It’s where neighborhood regulars stock up on bread, grab coffee and a danish, or sit down for pierogi and stuffed cabbage at prices that feel frozen in a different decade.
Must-Try Dishes: Cherry cheese babka, Sourdough 24-hour bread, Cheese and blueberry danish

When to visit: Mornings or early lunch before popular breads sell out

Insider tip: Order a loaf and a hot plate together—using their bread to mop up sauces is the real move.
