This Brooklyn bakery built its name on a $2 organic baguette and lines around the block. Founder Florent Andreytchenko still runs it day to day, self-funding growth from one Williamsburg shop to four, with no outside investors found in any record.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Florent Andreytchenko opened La Bicyclette Bakery in Williamsburg in 2019 and has funded its growth to four Brooklyn shops himself, with no outside investors turning up anywhere in the record. As a small, owner-run bakery, it has little public labor or environmental track record to weigh, positive or negative, though its bread is made with named French-milled flour rather than an anonymous supply chain. La Bicyclette answers to the baker running its ovens, not a landlord or a fund's exit timeline.
