The new bakery We Love Bread opened its doors on October 1st, nestled right in the heart of our busy town of Nyack at 41A N Broadway. We visited We Love Bread on a Sunday morning last month and bought several products to review.
The outside of the bakery looks very pretty and clean. The interior is on the small side but there is enough room to move around comfortably and sit down. While there are tables to sit at in the bakery, it does get a little cramped. However, there was a very nice ambiance and it felt calm and welcoming. Towards midmorning, it began to get a little busy, so if you want to buy something specific or sit down, then we recommend going early.
The service was absolutely amazing and everyone was so nice. There were several workers serving people at all times so the line went pretty quick and the drinks came out fast. The owner, Joe, was very kind and outgoing. When he found out we were writing a review he gave us a brioche bun to try and even asked if we had any recommendations of new things to make.
We decided to taste some of the more popular items which were the pão de queijo, a ham and cheese empanada, a brioche bun, a nutella cookie, and a matcha latte.
Pão de queijo: With its prominent cheesy flavor and chewy texture, we could see how this was a favorite! It was very filling and had a rich cheese flavor. We would recommend this product and we rate it an 8/10.
Ham and cheese empanada: the empanada was pretty small but the ham and cheese had a rich, salty flavor that was enjoyable. It tasted good but was nothing special and not really worth the price. We rate it a 6/10.
Brioche bun: The bun was a nice size and had a good flavor. It was a little dry but the owner is thinking about making a filling for the buns. Overall the brioche bun was pretty nice. We rate it a 7/10.
Nutella cookie: The Nutella cookie was incredible. It was soft, gooey, and filled with nutella. We would definitely recommend you go try this cookie and we rate it a 10/10.
Matcha latte: It had a nice matcha flavor and was very fresh. The matcha was very green indicating high quality matcha powder. It came unsweetened so if you want to add a sweetener you have to do it yourself. Overall, the matcha was pretty good but not amazing. We rate it a 8/10.
We Love Bread is a nice Brazilian inspired bakery in a good location. While the food is good, most of it is nothing special and the prices are pretty high. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the owner is especially nice. The bakery is brand new and still working out different things so things will continue to change. Some of the items are definitely not worth the price, but we still recommend checking out We Love Bread and maybe trying the Nutella cookie.
