You won't understand why Baltzhar is a NYC staple until you get the experience

Right now it is hidden under layers of scafoldings (hey may not be a bad thing to be missed by out-of-towners- it could shortern your wait!) 

once you stepped inside the no-seating, hard-to-turn-your-eyeball tiny bakery, you will be submerged in the old school charm of Balthazar
Cozy lightening and creamy paint on the wall accentuate the warm greetings of the staff. The bread is all SO FRESH! 
 

 Love the  “whole wheat croissant”！

Their bread loafs are apparently very popular too. I came around 2pm on a weekday, but all whole wheat loafs were gone :( 

Also try the petit salmon lunch sandwiches. You won't be disappointed! 

I have to write a review to praise this classic NYC establishment, but I won't give out any tips on how to find the place....  really need to secure my next bread loaf. Sorry folks!
