Bien Cuit

This place should be called bien sucré because it’s horrifically sweet. I have a sweet tooth and have never complained about something being too sweet… until I tasted their pound cake with some kind of frosting on top. It was awful. All I could taste was the sugar. I think it was supposed to have tangerines or some other citrus and I could see pieces of it in the dough but the taste was just sugar. Same thing with their bread… why put sugar on top of a mini baguette?? That’s a no for me…. Food should have flavor not just sugar

Really poor service

Croissant are a little too toasty. Chocolate chip cookies are too sweet but not bad. Fast service.

Wow, shockingly bad pan au chocolat—so bad I actually threw it away even though I was hungry. The pastry was ridiculously tough and hard and dry, and the chocolate inside was powdery and crunchy.

Bien Cuit is one of the best bread bakeries in Brooklyn and they have a location at the Grand Central Marketplace, which is great ( especially if you live or work in Manhattan!)

I changed my review not knowing that Bien Cuit was french for well done... makes sense after the explanation it was definitely Bien cuit. .............. Walked past today seen almond crossonts come out fresh on tray. 10 min later it was hard as a rock and tasted kinda burnt

Pain de mie has shrunk to half the size and it costs more now. Raise the price, BUT DO NOT SHRINK THD BREAD! Besides the shrunken loafs that seem to get smaller every week, the texture all wrong, hard, tastes stale, lack luster and flavor and really not a pane de mie in anyway !! Really sad, this bakery years ago was great~ not any longer! Really quality has gone down hill immensely ! Their pastries are expensive and lack flavor and are basic air .. you pay a lot for tasteless air! Their Baguettes are a disgrace (hard, texture all wrong). I do not recommend this expensive bakery any longer. Waste of money! The response from the store insufficient to my complaint! First of all i have been buying pain de mie from Bien cuit for 5 years!! I have been out of state this last year due to work. Upon my return i have bought the pain de mie 3 times. Thinking it was just an off day due to quality and size! 3 times i have received smaller loaves and texture and flavor way off from what we used to buy for years from you! I am a chef, so i am not joking around when i say the loaves have changed drastically in all categories. Disappointed and sad that whatever you are doing (new baker, different flour, weight) IS Not the same quality, size and taste from what it once was!! Your reviews speak the same problems.

good
