Saraghina Bakery opened late Wednesday morning at 433 Halsey Street with an array of breads baked in its pizza oven and fancy prepared foods such as olive oil and maple syrup from Italy, Brooklyn and upstate. Next week there will be pastries and tarts, one of the workers told us.
All the breads have some whole grains in them, she said. There are baguettes, bastone, and three varieties of miches: oat, amaranth, and flax and sunflower. German white wheat will make an appearance soon.
We bought an amaranth loaf. It was delicious and we ate far too much of it.
The bakery is decorated with vintage-style and salvage shelving and light fixtures, much like the restaurant.
It also features a surprising innovation: Unlike at the restaurant, credit cards are accepted. GMAP
I agree that a butcher/fish counter would make sense – and be a wonderful addition. Stuyvesant Heights still doesn’t have a good market to buy everyday foods. I’m stuck with going out of the neighborhood or Freshdirect. I do want to see what else the bakery starts selling once they are truly up and running. There is a lot of room. The goods they have so far aren’t the kind you need to buy on a daily basis. I am looking forward to the pastries and prepared foods though.
shoulda put in a butcher / fish counter like provisions. that’s a lot of space for bread and sundries.
This is a giant step up for a neighborhood where no one sold fresh bread anywhere east of Scratchbread three days ago. Two types of baguettes. Four types of country bread. Assortment of dry goods. I bought half a loaf of the oat bread, and it was delicious. They say prepared food to come. The people were really nice and welcoming. People are complaining about the lack of a big sign?
Yay! I love these guys. Can’t wait to try it out.
I walked by and didn’t even notice they lacked a “storefront”. The window display is simple and beautiful and so is the inside of the store. You wouldn’t walk by and NOT want to go in.
