Croissanteria

Croissants are baked fresh throughout the day at this 15-seat East Village shop; you can get yours filled with chocolate, swirled with cinnamon, or stuffed with prosciutto and wedges of milky mozzarella. Get a cup of joe or espresso—made with Brooklyn Roasting Company beans—and take a load off on one of the 20-foot-long vintage church pews that line the walls.
