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 out of the business itself; no investor, funding round or acquisition is reported in six years of coverage. Its bread is made with flour from a named family-owned French mill rather than an anonymous supply chain. The bakery answers to the baker at its ovens.
