Gautier Coiffard, 34, quit his $105,000/year engineering job in 2022 to open a French bakery in New York City with his wife, Ashley Coiffard, 33. What started as a side hustle in their small Brooklyn apartment, has become a successful bakery called L’Appartement 4F based in Brooklyn Heights. It brings in up to $128,000 a month selling croissants, bread and a popular mini croissant cereal.

How The ‘Croissant Cereal’ Creators Bring In $128K A Month In NYC
source
😂😂 Generally people take so much pleasure in knowingly/knowing in denial using animal based ingredients with no forethought in the consequences of doing so.
For that I laugh at your coming to terms with having high cholesterol. This just isn’t something that exist given the diet you adhere to.
Don't pay $8 for one croissant, people.
I bet high cholesterol comes mostly from the sugar
Lord hamercy I wonder how much is their overhead with 20 employees
such a nice and inspiring story
Where is the cereal
Come on! French bakers 🤣🤣🤣
In Syria we have the best and tastiest croissants, pizzas, pastries, food and everything!!! French croissants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
8 dollar croissant in belgium it is 1 dollar max 2 dollar for a spécial 1 vive la France et la marge 😂
Conclusion: if you wan't to be rich leave France xD. Nobody would buy his expensive croissants because he's nobody. People in France don't want to pay more than 1€ for a croissant!
Le genre de business impossible à faire en France, la start up nation! lol! Good choise Gautier!
Those croissants look so flat and stale?!
I don't understand how they employ 20 people with 128k in revenue and then profiting only 37k how do they afford rent in NYC
That’s great they have 100% equity.
Coucou à tous les Français qui suivent la chaîne 🇫🇷
Croissant is one of the best viennoiseries here, we love it. It’s amazing to see a baker doing well in the US knowing that it is not always the case in France.
Dope video!
Just for ur reference bread sells for 1 euro (1 dollar) in France, and croissants go for 1.30. So massive rip off.
Like we really believe the Frenchman is going to stop eating butter 🙄 lol
Everything looks amazing and I'm happy it's working for them but they sound extremely boring lol
Sustainable? Lol marketing at its best
Someone needs to tell him that the association between cholesterol and heart disease is nonsense. This poor frenchman is depriving himself of his natural diet due to erroneous info based on fake science.
Is someone going to tell him butter isn't bad for you? He seems genuinely sad about it.
amazing and inspiring. such a beautiful couple. i happy they didnt start right before the lockdowns, which wiped businesses out, they have a legitimate shot at being super successful long term. ill be sure to stop buy next time in in nyc
Butter doesn’t give you high cholesterol
stop eating foods with seed oils, butter is fine for you
Heureusement que les boulangers français ne savent pas que leur pain se vend quatre fois plus cher en Amérique ! 🐓
My dream 🙏🏼 good for them, work hard and enjoy the harvest!
I have endless respect for people who take the plunge and work their dreams like these two. You’ve earned every penny you make!
Most people outside Europe don’t realise how delicious a real loaf of bread can be. On the other hand, not everybody will appreciate it, either. If you grown up with factory-made white bread, that is the definition of bread for you.
Even the French only really know white bread, thus missing out on all the magnificent types of rye bread.
I don't understand why they make these videos and make it sound like these people are doing well 😒 they've been working for going on 3 years at their own bakery 😐. That right there says they aren't making any profit 🤔 because if they really was making 6 figures from their bakery they would have staff🤦🏽♂️also rent for a commercial property in New York, easily cost 10k a month in rent and I'm low balling.
hard working Americans 👍
What's wrong with her voice?????
This place is in the next neighborhood over from where I am in Brooklyn. I've been meaning to check it.
those NYC price are bookers ! lol
Much success to all.
Baking, Pastry Making, Cooking Food…They're examples of good employment skills to have.
Software Engineers are artists in their DNA. They took the job to fund their hobby in the near future
Great couple and business!
I love this channel…so inspirational!
He’s genuine disappointment that he can’t eat butter was endearing af
Check out Alida’s Bakery in Everett WA. Similarly story but completely different also.
What’s there social media page I can’t find it.
Life is short; eat butter, maybe in moderation but enjoy your life because that is why it was given to you.
They gentrification of Brooklyn is complete 😂
I love croissants!!!🥐😁✌💯
love this story! finally a success story from the restaurant industry!
Don't mean to be hater,but maybe I am, checked their instagram and website. Their products look like a amateur home baker made stuff for the first time.They just started 2years ago and are already successful am super jealous,wonder how the products taste like.
Moral of the story, if you wanna make money, you need to have a craft and be an expert in a certain field, assuming you don't have some generational wealth to inheret.
yup, clueless woke white folks. look at your prices people. who are you selling? no clue. pipe dreams. community? google who used to live in that neighborhood? do a census search. gentrification at it is worse!
Actually your high cholesterol is probably from the dough (flour, etc) not the butter… you need to just eat the butter and forget the croissant 😅😅😅
