Address: Ta/La Brioche | 1073 Brighton Beach Ave, New York, NY, United States
The Russian Bakery was called Ta Brioche Café- I think I would probably be butchering the name but it was a nice cosy place. We went looking for those two other places but did not find them though I think this is what was mentioned as "Sweet Delight Inc" in some forums.
It was the smell of freshly baked cookies that pulled us in. It had really nice freshly baked products and even nicer people. They were helpful, honest and with good humor- the main guy even told us which ones were "American" and not as good as the Russian ones! We had two creamy pastries (still lying in my refrigerator as I write this), two cranberry rolls and three amazing cookie balls which had a creamy, gooey and sinful filling inside the cookie crust- think Ferraro Rocher chocolates with hard cookie shell and creamy filling!!!
It was a chilly morning at around -2 degrees C or under 30 degrees F (?) with a wind blowing through the day. one the boardwalk of Brighton Beach, we nearly got attacked by sea gulls and pigeons for the sumptuous treats but we held our own. Visit them- if not for their delicious baked offerings, maybe for their warm attitude.

Some of the birdies...look peaceful but don't be fooled...
Goofing around on a chilly morning...that's what we seem to be doing!
