A great breakfast burrito is difficult to return by—even in New York Metropolis. Too small, too overstuffed, mushy within the center, or simply plain dangerous, I’ve had my justifiable share of mediocre and eggy breakfast burritos that by no means fairly do the trick. After we related with the TikTok icons Grant & Ash about being visitors on an episode of Snack Store, that they had a fast and rapid 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 disillusioned by 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 hitch my Brooklyn breakfast journey at Ceremonia—a spot the place they’re regulars, all the time 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 robust, confectionery aroma of baked goodies within the oven and the comforting sound of a hissing espresso machine. And, when you’re with Grant & Ash, like I used to be, the sound of a number 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 basic gadgets like avocado toast or biscuit egg sandwiches. Earlier than strolling in, Grant & Ash have 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 beautiful sugary glaze fairly than smothered in cream cheese icing. It’s moist with out tasting uncooked or bready (in contrast to a number 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, easy outdoors glaze. And, when you’re something like me, the truth that this roll is wider and fewer bready means you may simply skip to the cinnamon sugary heart a part of the pastry.

Breakfast burrito. Grant all the time 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 when you’re further like we’re) and a house-made fire-roasted tomatillo salsa on the aspect. It’s a bit of on the expensive aspect—about 12 {dollars} usually, and 14 with avocado—however it’s sufficiently big to make do for breakfast and lunch. Sure, this burrito tastes simply as scrumptious because it appears to be like. 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 exhausting 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 wish to strive their plain chocolate chip cookies. It’s one of many easiest expressions of a bakery’s character— dense and cakey, skinny and crunchy, salty or plain— and Ceremonia’s cookie was a must-order advice from Grant. Skinny and sprinkled with chunks of sea salt, Ceremonia’s cookie was gooey within the center and crunchy on the skin. A great, sincere cookie.

Remaining Ranking

This feast at Ceremonia was certainly one 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 undoubtedly price getting on the aspect. If you would like the true Grant & Ash expertise, order a vanilla latte, cinnamon roll, and a breakfast burrito with added avocado—you received’t be disillusioned.
