Mondial Bakery

"Our friend George, the Baedeker of Brooklyn, brought us this gift box of Mondial cookies from a visit the day before. He felt that because the cookies were 24 hours old, they weren't as good as fresh, at the source. But that didn't bother us: the contents the box were devoured almost instantly"

"It's impossible to describe the buttery-sweet aroma exuded by these trays of cookies in the window."
Michael Stern



"One of Brooklyn's modest treasures"
Michael Stern



"If you don't live in Brooklyn, you don't likely know about this out-of-the-way corner store on 20th Avenue. But if you're passing through, it's well worth a cookie detour."
