Buttermilk Bakeshop To Open Second Location On 5th Avenue

Some exciting news for those who were sad to see Trois Pommes Patisserie close last year. Looks like the 5th Avenue storefront will be a bakery once again, and from a local chef who’s expanding her fairly new pastry enterprise.

The space at 260 5th Avenue, between Garfield and Carroll, will soon be home to the second location of Buttermilk Bakeshop, which opened a year ago at 339 7th Avenue, near 9th Street, as Here’s Park Slope first reported.

Chef and owner Katie Rosenhouse tells us they will be keeping the 7th Avenue location, though the kitchen will be moving to 5th Avenue, and they’ll deliver daily to the original space. They’ll be serving up much of the same stuff (monkey buns, ice cream, etc., oh my), but the extra room of the new spot will also allow them to offer cooking classes.

Rosenhouse says the choice to expand within the community was a no-brainer.

“Park Slope is great!” she tells us. “The people are great and we like meeting and creating items for the families in the neighborhood.”

With all the work that will go into making sweet treats for two shops, we asked the chef, who’s worked at Le Cirque, Bouley, The Russian Tea Room, and the David Burke restaurant group, among others, if she ever finds time to sleep.

“Occasionally,” she says.

Good thing they also serve coffee.

They’re aiming to open the new space by March 1.
