"If you are a lover of country bread with soul, this image of a just-cut Wave Hill loaf is a large slice of heaven."
Michael Stern
"An extremely sticky and extremely delicious sticky bun is now part of the expanded repertoire at Wave Hill."
Michael Stern
"At once light and chewy, Wave Hill's bialy is crowded with caramelized onions."
Michael Stern
"There are dense, sticky macaroons and there are frothy, featherweight ones. Wave Hill's are definitively in the latter category -- ethereal and elegant."
Michael Stern
"As its name says, Just Crust is just crust. But for some of us, that's like saying, 'just orgasmic.' If you like the crunch of good crust, this is the last word."
Michael Stern
"Wave Hill loaves are made using a natural fermentation process that lasts over eight hours. Although elegant, they pack full flavor that rewards a serious chaw."
Michael Stern
"The crust on this loaf is firm and chewy, not at all brittle. Probably the best thing to do with it -- if you need to do something other than tear at it straight from the bag -- is dip it into some really good olive oil ... or maybe make it into bruschetta ... or spread it with tapenade."
Michael Stern
"In the beginning: Bakers Mitchell Rapoport and Margaret Sapir stand at a table with the huge bomb of dough they were working on when I visited about 9:30 in the morning shortly after their bakery opened for business. Three hours later, the loaf I ate was still oven-warm. They have since moved to larger quarters in Norwalk."
Michael Stern
"Ciabatta, studded with olives"
Michael Stern
"The 'French Energy Muffin' was so named because it is what Tour de France bikers eat before the race. It is rich with coconut, apple, brown sugar, flax seeds and carrots."
Michael Stern
"The extreme chewiness of the bialy makes this smoked salmon sandwich a challenge to bite, but it's a winning combo."
Michael Stern
"Open for breakfast and lunch, the Wave Hill cafe offers pastries, soups, and sandwiches as well as free wi-fi."
Michael Stern
"Wave Hill's superb croutons grace a very cheesy tomato parmesan soup."
Michael Stern
"Made on multi-grain bread, the tuna salad sandwich is ribboned with strips of marinated fennel."
