About 4F

L'Appartement 4F began in our small Brooklyn apartment. We started as a two person cottage bakery making handcrafted small batches of slow fermented, sourdough bread. Through lots of trial, error, and butter, we curated a menu that brings France to NYC.

We opened a brick and mortar in Brooklyn Heights in May of 2022. Each croissant is still rolled by hand and we hope you taste how special that is! We are excited to announce we are coming to the West Village in 2024!

The Founders

Gautier moved from France to NYC in 2012. He met Ashley in 2016 and the two have been inseparable since. The only thing missing in his life was good bread. That is until he started baking…

With a background in engineering, he perfected his recipes down to a science. The two reside in Brooklyn with their dog Chip. When they aren't baking, they visit local farmer's markets, hike and drink wine.
