PALOMA THE BAKERY

Written By Ekow Sanni-Thomas

Greenpoint (Brooklyn)

This week, we're thrilled to feature Paloma The Bakery, one of Greenpoint's newest bakery programs housing some of the city's most innovative patisseries.

Paloma was born during the COVID-19 pandemic when owner Reuben Villagomez connected with Alexander Zecena, a veteran pastry chef from Chez Panisse and The French Laundry, creating a passionate collaboration focused on inclusive, memorable experiences.

What started as a tiny window operation has evolved to three-locations including a 2,000-square-foot space on Nassau Avenue where Executive Pastry Chef Zecena showcases his culinary artistry through rotating menus of handmade viennoiserie and seasonal pastries.

Paloma pairs their extensive menu of house-roasted, fair-trade coffees with extravagant pastry creations that often conceal surprising complexities beneath their beautiful surfaces.

YOUR BOX INCLUDES:

  • PINK GUAVA AND LIME DANISH: A refreshing, smooth, and flaky pastry that showcases the bakery's innovative approach to seasonal fruit combinations with bright, tropical flavors.

  • PAIN AU RAISIN: A glazed pastry with a peel-able, crispy shell that covers a soft, naturally sweet middle—a perfect example of Paloma's attention to textural contrasts.

WARMING INSTRUCTIONS*:

  • Microwave: 20-30 seconds on high

  • Oven: 10 minutes at 325F on a baking sheet

*Only heat the Pain au Raisin

Each of these pastries represents Paloma's commitment to culinary artistry and their philosophy that exceptional baked goods should be both inclusive and unforgettable. We know you'll enjoy!
