Damn, good coffee. And HOT!
Been meaning to mention this place for a while. Local bakery La Baguette (near the entrance to the 2/5 train at Sterling Street) has been in the hood for about 2 years now. Not only do they have some of the best coffee around, they also sell (gasp!) BAGELS. Sure, it's no H&H, but it's certainly passable if more of the "bagel shaped bread" variety than a true NYC bagel.
Like many neighborhood shops, where La Baguette truly shines is with their Caribbean, specifically Haitian, specialties. They offer a wide variety of meat patties, corn pudding, rolls, doughnuts, etc. most of which is made on the premises.
As a bonus, they also make a pretty decent cheesesteak if you're looking for lunch.
Their croissants are good too.

I've only known of their Queens locations, which serve delicious breads and Haitian pastries. I'm happy to know there's also shop in my new neighborhood. I highly recommend the herring-stuffed bread.

They may have another location on church and rogers.
They have been a blessing to the neighborhood compared to the dreary establishment they replaced.
