A bakery called Little Buddy Biscuit Company opened a few weeks ago on 5th Avenue near the corner of 18th Street. Its owner, Pete Solomita (whose blog you can read here), says he took up baking about four years ago when he was looking after his young son; prior to that, he had trained as a chef. The goods at Little Buddy are baked in small batches on a daily basis and include stuff like brownies ($2.50), big cookies (also $2.50) and scones ($2.25), as well as a revolving lineup of daily specials. More details on the business are included on a Brooklynian post. It opens at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays. GMAP
Beer, yes, InsertShappyNameHere, but I wouldn’t even buy paper towels from them. Eagle is crazy overpriced and worse, they are so rude, so unfriendly. I’ve heard them make snide comments about the “new” people in the neighborhood, yet it’s the “new” people in the neighborhood who can afford to support them. I love shopping at Fairway, but I would love some place closer that had provisions I want to buy. Maybe maybe with Lucali II opening around the corner and attracting the masses, someone will see this neighborhood as an opportunity. The are plenty of people in this neighborhood to support quality food shopping, even a Greenmarket. PLEASE!!!
Action…I have perused the other aisles of Eagle…what I saw scared the bejeesus outta me. Trust me…beer and paper towels is where the shopping should end there.
Didn’t a shiny new C-Town open on 4th Ave at 25th?
Oh come on B2 and ISNH, Eagle is great. One of the few remaining family run authentic Polish market left in most of South Bklyn.
While I’m a veggie, my in-laws (both Polish) can vouch for their fresh-made kielbasa and guwomkis (sp?). I love their salads and breads. And any Polish fare you can’t get anyplace else.
Take a stroll out of the beer isle next time you are there.
I will say that their produce is less than average, but you have Big Apple produce across the street.
Amen, Bsquared. Eagle is good for nothing but beer and paper towels.
I love the blue awning and it’s a welcome addition to this neighborhood, even though I wonder if we really need yet another coffee place. What this neighborhood DESPERATELY needs is a quality place for grocery shopping. There’s nothing but Eagle (Yuch, IMO)and those two horrible supermarkets on 5th Avenue. Maybe, maybe someone will open a quality grocery store in the newly vacated huge space on Fifth Avenue and 19th (IS ANYONE LISTENING — the critical mass is there to support it.)
The roasted pepper feta muffin is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!
They have some really terrific savory stuff, which rocks my world.
I tried a cookie too, and it’s one of the best I’ve had.
Awesome iced tea! I’m not a real sweets guy, but the blueberry morning muffin I had was great. The owner was featured in the NY Times last year, I believe.
Good addition to the ‘nabe.
Oh, and that green thing you see in the photo on the ground…they keep fresh water out for passing pups. How nice!
