Café d’Avignon

They have some of the best pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast sandwiches in Brooklyn. Everything tastes fresh and well made, and the bread is always top-tier. The bacon, egg, and cheese is simple but done really well, with a perfectly cooked egg, smoked bacon, and great bread that makes all the difference. Almost like biting into a cloud. It’s located inside DeKalb Market Hall, right next to Trader Joe’s, which makes it a super convenient stop. It’s a little on the pricey side, but this is NYC, and the quality makes it worth it. My favorite item is their cranberry bread with salted butter and salami sandwich on their crusty Italian bread. Simple, classic, and so good.

Really great place. I was a bit rude, but the male server was incredibly nice. I loved his attitude and personality, and the coffee was delicious. Seating outside was fine. Would recommend chai unsweetened, lactose free milk (without additional charge), and a shot of espresso (+$2). For a total of ~$8.67

Nothing much, just an Americano to have while exploring the market. The staff was very friendly and the pastries looked amazing; I'll be sure to visit another time with more hunger to try those out. Thanks!

Café d’Avignon is an artisanal bakery café in NYC, founded by the same team behind Pain d’Avignon, the award-winning bread bakery that has been supplying Michelin-starred restaurants and top hotels for over 25 years.

The coffee is also excellent—strong and well-balanced. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the relaxed vibe of the café makes it an ideal spot for a quick breakfast or light lunch.

Starting to notice this trend where businesses offer regular customers a rewards program but the tellers conveniently speed you through the checkout process, thus preventing customers from claiming their rewards or even “logging in” to ensure your purchase goes towards your rewards. I’m not sure if that was the issue the morning of 11/16 but as a regular customer, I was rushed through checkout despite the fact that I was literally still typing away on the square tablet. There was only 2 others customers and before I could press the option to send the status of my rewards, one of the tellers cleared the screen. Typically in most stores I go to, tellers make sure they’re all done with one customer before moving on. When I pointed out that I wasn’t done, she coldly told me that she was trying
