NYC’s Finest Breakfast Burrito Is Served in a Quaint Brooklyn Bakery

A very good breakfast burrito is tough to come back by—even in New York Metropolis. Too small, too overstuffed, mushy within the center, or simply plain dangerous, I’ve had my fair proportion of mediocre and eggy breakfast burritos that by no means fairly do the trick. Once we linked with the TikTok icons Grant & Ash about being visitors on an episode of Snack Store, they’d a fast and quick suggestion: Ceremonia Bakeshop. I’ve seen this little Williamsburg spot on my social media feeds earlier than, particularly for his or her breakfast burrito and inventive pastries, and I used to be pumped to get an opportunity to strive it for myself in hopes of not being disenchanted by yet one more dangerous breakfast burrito.

For these unacquainted, Grant & Ash (also called A Twink and a Redhead) are a musician and influencer superduo. They’re additionally very, very humorous. Fortunate for me, the 2 got here to affix my Brooklyn breakfast journey at Ceremonia—a spot the place they’re regulars, at all times choosing two fast vanilla lattes (iced for Grant, scorching for Ash) and the occasional pastry.

The Snacks

Ceremonia Bakeshop is on a cute little nook of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. While you open the door to enter, you’re hit with the sturdy, confectionery aroma of baked goodies within the oven and the comforting sound of a hissing espresso machine. And, in the event you’re with Grant & Ash, like I used to be, the sound of plenty of laughter and witty one-liners. The pastry case is overwhelming, starting from colourful poundcake loaves to pretty little mochi bites. In addition they have a full breakfast menu with traditional objects like avocado toast or biscuit egg sandwiches. Earlier than strolling in, Grant & Ash had been set on getting the breakfast burrito and a cinnamon roll, the latter being Ash’s favourite.

Cinnamon roll. Ceremonia’s cinnamon roll is much less doughy and extra pastry-like. It’s coated in a stunning sugary glaze relatively than smothered in cream cheese icing. It’s moist with out tasting uncooked or bready (in contrast to plenty of cinnamon rolls), and it’s wider than the typical roll. One chew in and it is undoubtedly scrumptious however the sugar rush kicks in shortly due to that crunchy, clean exterior glaze. And, in the event you’re something like me, the truth that this roll is wider and fewer bready means you’ll be able to simply skip to the cinnamon sugary middle a part of the pastry.

Breakfast burrito. Grant at all times will get the burrito with added avocado, in order that’s how we ordered it. Inside this large flour-tortilla-wrapped bundle of pleasure is chorizo, roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, scallions, (plus avocado in the event you’re further like we’re) and a house-made fire-roasted tomatillo salsa on the aspect. It’s a bit on the expensive aspect—about 12 {dollars} usually, and 14 with avocado—but it surely’s sufficiently big to make do for breakfast and lunch. Sure, this burrito tastes simply as scrumptious because it appears. The eggs are scrambled with out being mushy and every chew comes with a salty kick from the chorizo and potatoes. The scallions add a enjoyable contact and the salsa is the proper complement. It’s arduous to cease consuming this when you begin. Grant and I every had half of a burrito and slathered salsa on every chew. No notes. It was so good that we simply sat and ate in silence.

Chocolate chip cookie. When going to a brand new bakery, I prefer to strive their plain chocolate chip cookies. It’s one of many easiest expressions of a bakery’s persona— dense and cakey, skinny and crunchy, salty or plain— and Ceremonia’s cookie was a must-order suggestion from Grant. Skinny and sprinkled with chunks of sea salt, Ceremonia’s cookie was gooey within the center and crunchy on the surface. A very good, trustworthy cookie.

Closing Score

This feast at Ceremonia was one in every of my favourite breakfasts shortly, and never simply due to the corporate. I declare Ceremonia Bakeshop to be completely rated. Their breakfast burrito deserves all of the hype and the pastries are positively value getting on the aspect. In order for you the true Grant & Ash expertise, order a vanilla latte, cinnamon roll, and a breakfast burrito with added avocado—you received’t be disenchanted.
