Bob's Bake Shop

The food at Bob's Bake Shop centers on authentic American bakery and diner traditions, executed with the quality-focused approach of Brooklyn's contemporary food scene. Everything revolves around homemade preparation, starting with the bread that's baked fresh on-site each morning, filling the space with those irresistible bakery aromas that draw you in from the esplanade. The star attractions are undoubtedly the homemade pies, available in classic American varieties including apple, pecan, cherry, and rhubarbe. These aren't delicate French tarts—they're substantial, generous American pies with flaky crusts and generous fillings that deliver pure comfort food satisfaction. Alongside the pies, the bagels represent another cornerstone of the menu, crafted daily with that perfect combination of chewy interior and slightly crisp exterior that defines a proper New York-style bagel. The savory menu spans breakfast through lunch with typical American diner offerings adapted for Parisian tastes and dietary preferences. You'll find hearty sandwiches built on that fresh-baked bread, tartines topped with quality ingredients, and fresh salads that provide lighter options. The kitchen pays attention to dietary needs with dedicated vegetarian choices like their €5 salad and €4.50 granola bowl, plus gluten-free alternatives that ensure everyone can enjoy the Bob's experience. The dessert selection extends beyond the signature pies to include New York-style cheesecake at €4.50, rich brownies for €3, and freshly baked cookies at €2—all embodying that American approach to sweets where generous portions and bold flavors take precedence over delicate refinement. The organic ingredients and Brooklyn-inspired approach mean you're getting quality comfort food rather than mass-produced alternatives. Paired with excellent coffee from Belleville Brûlerie, the food at Bob's delivers exactly what you want from an American bakery and diner: honest, satisfying, homemade fare that tastes like someone actually cares about what they're serving.
