Rockaway Beach Bakery feels like a tiny beach town gem that just happens to be steps from the A train. Pastry chef Tracy Obolsky turns out guava and cream cheese danishes, flaky croissants, and a biscuit sandwich that makes for perfect pre-wave fuel. Don't miss the branded cutout of the owner's head hanging above the register: she won it in a Twisted Tea giveaway and it's become part of the charm.
