The much-loved muffins from Blue Sky Bakery may be sold in coffee shops throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, but the joy of a Blue Sky muffin eaten straight out of the oven can only be experienced at the bakery itself. Even for locals, it can be difficult to show up at the right moment for a fresh muffin—the bakery closes by 2 p.m., and its operations are small-batch to the last.
Still, the perfect muffin is a treat worth pursuing, and owner Erik Goetze is always happy to explain why.
