Diljān Bakery
Dining · 1 location · Brooklyn Heights, NYC
Diljān looks like the latest hot Brooklyn bakery, but it's family: two cousins from Astoria's Little Flower Café brought in baker Bryan Ford to build its Afghan pastry menu. All three still work the counter, self-funded with no outside investors.
The Big Picture
Diljān is a family bet: two cousins who run an Astoria café teamed up with baker Bryan Ford to bring Afghan pastries to Brooklyn Heights, and paid for it themselves. It opened in November 2025 and has one shop, so there is little public labor, environmental or sourcing record yet. The people at the register signed the lease.
