50 Best Bakeries in Brooklyn

“Best cakes I’ve ever had! Moist, dense, with the most decadent cream icing. Gorgeous too and photograph very well. So many unique flavors. The shop is a quiet, sunny place to spend an afternoon and the whole cake orders have never disappointed! I’ve gotten 3 birthday cakes from byClio (the first was off Instagram, before they even had a shop) and always look forward to the next year. So happy to see this business thriving. Cannot recommend more.“

“Best, creamy and tart key lime pie with perfect crust.“

“Stopped there recently while visiting my daughter. Best Cafe Mocha I’ve ever had! Delicious croissants as well!“

“Adorable place for a tea, coffee and pastry! Delicious for eating in or takeaway to sit and enjoy the views of the city just down the block“

“Excellent donuts yummy. Best donuts I ever tasted!!“

“We have been going to Nick and Son's since they open their bakery in Spring Lake, NJ. They offer the very best of everything which includes their delicious Croissants , breads, danishes, scones and world class coffee. The bakers and staff are top notch and offer world class service. During the holidays they offer the best pies ever. Don't miss out on the very best bakery in Monmouth County.“

“This bakery is awesome! The inside is adorable and the baked goods are amazing. We had a blueberry rosemary cheesecake kouign aman and it was one of the best pastries I’ve ever eaten.

There’s a few seats in the shop which was nice to enjoy our treats. Surprisingly not super busy on a Saturday morning but I can’t imagine that will last long!“

“incredible vegan options. amazing cakes 😍 definitely visiting again“

“A stellar egg sandwich with a lightly spicy sauce along with a cortado served with a smile? Yes please! Sophie (or Sophia as I call her) was the lovely young lady who tended to us while we devoured our breakfast Saturday morning. Such a great neighborhood cafe!“

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“Ceremonia bakeshop is an amazing brunch spot with sweet and savory options🤤 which are absolutely delicious. Everything i bought was amazing we went around 11:55 am it was relatively busy, when we ordered we waited around 30 minutes which isn't awful. We ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito, ube black sesame mochi, and a smores bar, + a free churro mochi. The burrito is filled with flavor especially with the green sauce, the mochi was crunchy on the outside soft on the inside, the smores bar is just like a elevated smores. Everything 10/10 we will be returning for more😋🤤“

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“Interior/outside terrace: the interior is very functional, very few inside seating options. But it’s not like a comfy café. They do have a small outside seating area, which is nice, nothing special, but if you get a table there, you can enjoy your croissants in the sun.

Food quality/price: good selection of savoury & sweet food, very delicious. I got an earl grey bun & a pistachio croissant. Both very delicious, like out of another world. Loved them. I found their food to be quite expensive.
Suggestion: why not making tiny versions of the different treats (to a smaller price as well of course), so solo-visitors can try more delicious treats?

Service: friendly, functional, nothing outstanding though.“

“I live in New London Connecticut but every time I come down to Brooklyn I stop at Caputo’s for They’re delicious lard bread ?“

“Thrilled with our custom cookie order. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also very tasty. Incredibly fresh and well- made and the delivery arrived early!! They were also incredibly professional when I reached out to them. I would definitely recommend their treats. They can expect more orders from us.“

“Small Japanese cafè on the 2nd floor offering more unique offerings of coffee, tea and pastries. I had an iced black sesame latte with a shot of espresso. The nutty flavor of the sesame works great with the earthy coffee notes, enhancing each other. A maple fig scone was properly dry and subtle. Next, I plan to try their 8-hour filtered cold brew. You can enjoy your coffee at a few of the small tables inside, but more appropriate to sit in the hallway or take-out.

They also sell essential oils, candles and other unique gifts. While they are a little pricey, the quality of the products are high. As long as the coffee grinder isn't going off, they offer a very peaceful experince. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Cloudy Donut never disappoints! Their donuts are not only beautiful to look at but absolutely delicious. Every bite tastes fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The team there clearly puts so much care into their craft, and it shows.

This season, I was thrilled to try their tiramisu donut—and wow! It’s rich, creamy, and melts in your mouth, with just the right touch of espresso and cocoa. Honestly, it tastes like heaven in donut form.

On top of that, their prices are very reasonable for the quality and taste you get. These donuts feel gourmet without breaking the bank, which makes indulging in them even sweeter.

I love them so much that I find myself buying donuts here every weekend—it has become a little tradition with my kids

If you’re looking for donuts that go above and beyond the ordinary, Cloudy Donut is the place. Highly recommend to anyone who loves a sweet treat done right!“

“We absolutely LOVE this bakery especially how they consistently use the freshest ingredients. Their items are out of this world, hands down. The staff is usually so wonderful and helpful. However, today (Saturday November 15), there was this one female staff member (brunette, eye glasses) who was helping folks with the baked goods, and she was extremely rude and even rolled her eyes at us. Her negative and awful attitude was absolutely palpable. I don't think she realizes that she exudes such a horrible attitude, and for the sake of not turning off customers, we hope the management can have a talk with her. Please feel free to email me if you'd like more details.“

“My family highly recommends Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop for your exceptional employees and fantastically delicious donuts!! Thank you for your hospitality and for making my granddaughter's birthday donut trip so special!! It was definitely worth the trip!! With Kristen Fulbrook 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“Hands down the best bakery ever! Not only are their breakfast items unique creative and delicious, their sandwiches are unmatched! My faves are the smoked salmon (breakfast) sandwich, turkey & kale, tofu, and tuna salad lunch sandwiches

do not believe anyone that says the sandwiches are bad bc my partner, family, friends and I have all frequented this and the GP location and tried everything. I’m not joking when I say I’ve tried every item here. And everything is phenomenal

Service is always friendly also. I’ve unfortunately always had to wait in line for 10+ mins though“

“We ordered cannolis and a cannoli cake for our wedding, and both were absolutely amazing! Even a couple of days later, we shared the extra cake with friends at our bowling league, and it was still incredibly moist and delicious. We’re so happy we chose this bakery for our wedding desserts!“

“Delicious fresh homemade italian specialties! From their bread, cookies, fresh pastas, olives, cheeses, sausage the list goes on and on. Charlie and the entire staff truly treat you like family! Highly recommend 👌🏽“

“If you really want to experience a piece of bread or cookie that was actually made with love, I suggest you pass by the Moonrise Bakehouse and buy and try one of their many items that they make.You won't be disappointed.“

“The cookies I had were great. loved the red velvet cookie. I have to taste sweet potato cheesecake asap.“

“Small café, but very bright, clean, and airy. There was was a small loveseat, a couple barstools, one or two cafe tables with 2 seats, a bench with a cushion and 3 café tables out on the sidewalk. Came in about 1:30pm, and were greeted warmly. Almost all of the pastries were gone, but the cheese with fig danish and the plain croissant they had left were good. We also tried the matcha lemonade, strawberry matcha and a hot black sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte A LOT, the strawberry was good, and I personally hated the lemonade, but that is a personal preference thing. The good thing about it is it isn't too sweet, but it was heavy on the matcha, so it tasted like liquid grass to me. I definitely like nuttier sencha tea better. The prices were average for the area, and since everything is pricey now, it is what it is.

There were other patrons there, busily working and looked like they had been there for quite a while, which tells me it may be a good place to sit and focus for an hour or two.

My party of three sat outside and because it is located in a predominantly residential area, it was a nice place to sit since there aren't tons of pedestrians. There were a few bees/wasps though, so we had to leave after a bit(highly allergic). There were also mosquitos and lantern bugs around--I suspect there is some standing water on a roof nearby.

I will definitely walk over here again to get that sesame latte, and maybe stay and pretend looking productive. But I'll definitely come back.“

“LOVED THIS PASTRY SHOP. UNTIL YESTERDAY MY WHOLE FAMILY ORDERS FROM HERE THEY NEED TO KEEP POLITICS OUT OF THE BUSINESS WILL LOOSE ALOT OF CUSTOMERS.. SADLY JUST LOST A BUNCH“

“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Cash only though 🤔“

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“super friendly guy running the counter who adds up your items really fast. get your hummus here instead of going across the street to Trader Joe's. you probably won't have to endure a line here too.

I was looking to get some sumac and theirs was much more affordable than elsewhere. got some other pantry items for lazy meals. the tabouleh salad was a highlight. I look forward to being back!“

“This bakery is such a gem! Service was quick, and there’s plenty to choose from. The staff was friendly, and the space itself is beautifully decorated with super organized books you can sit and read while enjoying your treats. They also offer coffee, tea, and other drinks, which makes it a perfect spot to relax. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s absolutely worth the visit. I came all the way from the Bronx with my family, and we tried the ham & cheese croissant, focaccia, and raspberry pistachio croissant. everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Pastries are excellent! Chef Björn is ok too 😂“

“Ordered all the way from North Carolina. Setting up subscription now!!“

“Pinhas from Lestis was the best. He took personally my order on the phone, directed me, gave advice on my choices. He worked with me and cooperated in a way that I felt confident. I ordered many mini pastries. Some were customized, Lestis did a wonderful job! They were tasty and definitely wow factor at my daughter’s engagement party. Thank you!“

“Very welcoming environment. Food is delicious which is very important and you can seat in outdoor and enjoy your yummy food. Thanks to the owner.“

“I went las Friday and I got a Salmon burger and a delicious raspberry cheesecake…. Delicious!!!!
Salmon was extremely good and desert OMG
I will order I pie for Thanksgiving!
If you go talk to the owner, he is so nice!!!“

“Best cannoli ever! And I love love love their black and white cookies. Perfection“

“Outstanding salty honey pie 🥧“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“A great heritage of making the finest middle eastern confectioneries. Taste generations of passion combined with artistry and quality ingredients in every delectable bite!“

“I tried a few treats from Yummy Tummy’s Kitchen and everything was so fresh, delicious, and full of flavor! The cookie was soft and warm, the little pie was perfectly baked, and the cupcake was super moist with the creamiest frosting. You can taste the love in every bite.

What makes it even better is that this place is woman-owned, and the owner herself is the chef and baker behind all these amazing goodies. You can really feel her passion in the quality of the desserts.

The shop is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the prices are great for the quality.
Definitely one of my new favorite bakery spots — I’ll be back for sure! 💛🍪🧁✨“

“All of their baked goods are absolutely incredible and never disappoint. I personally think their whips are overpriced for what they are, but I their baked goods are 100% worth it. Huge portions and always super fresh. I love sitting inside when it's not very busy.“

“I went this morning with my hubby, nice small humble place, the blueberry sweet cheese kolache is amazingly good!!! and the small rolls with ham & cheese was so yummy we brought all 4 different kind of flavors.. Amazing kind people with warm personality. A must to go especially in the morning when is all freshly made. Will come again ❣️“

“The pastry is mouthwatering! Everything is visually appealing and very tasty. authentic French pastry.“

“4.5🌟
Turkey sandwich was very good, definitely worth getting the full sandwich and taking the other half to go if you can’t finish it all (just bc the cost of half is expensive). Breakfast tacos were also good, but towards the third one it got a bit too soggy and hard to eat.
95% of the pastries were gone by Sunday afternoon, but that just shows they’re pretty popular.“

“This spot has won me over completely. Staff members performed with the excellence this place is known for. Despite beautiful plating, the food was overly salted. The menu covers various food categories. This place has earned our commitment.“

“My new favorite bakery in Brooklyn! I've tried so many different treats from this spot and each one has been incredible. Do yourself a favorite and grab a chocolate chip cookie and some bread pudding and thank me later. Highly recommended and the owner is a sweetheart!“

“friendly staff, great food. thank for catering our holiday party @ #livingwellnyc“

“It’s the best!! Hands down. I’m pretty sure they’re Italllllllian 🇮🇹🤌🏼 fuggedaboudit!“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“I confess that visiting this neighborhood made me uneasy and sad; it saddened me to see girls who already had a future beyond their abilities and desires. The visit to the pastry shop sweetened the final point of my walk through the neighborhood a little, I bought some spelled cookies with chocolate chips and another product with apple and I confess that they were delicious, the staff showed correct attention. If we should copy and maintain this way of making pastries using healthy products.“
