The Infatuation's guide to NYC's best bakeries reports that 'on Saturdays the line is usually wrapped around the block' at La Bicyclette's Williamsburg location, spanning its entire 8am-1pm window. The outlet frames the wait as a known trade-off for the shop's French-style breads and laminated pastries, telling readers to 'suck it up and wait.'
Weekday visits are implied to be calmer, since the guide singles out Saturday specifically as the peak crush; no other days are described as producing block-long lines.
