About Winner
Winner is a Park Slope institution that has evolved from a coveted neighborhood bakery into a multi-faceted culinary destination.

Whether hosting a multi-course dinner at the original 7th Avenue location or a sprawling outdoor gathering, the atmosphere remains rooted in the warm, unpretentious hospitality that earned the bakery its local fame.
