32 Best Bakeries in Brooklyn

“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 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“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“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“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.“

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

“really excellent pizza and dessert“

“Yet another amazing bakery in Downtown Brooklyn, more specifically in Prospect Heights. The place is small but has pretty hefty variety of savory and sweet backing goods, some of which are pretty unique. I really liked from the savory offering kimchi bun and from the sweets is peach Danish. The croissants are one of the most delicious that I was ever had. Also they have seriously good coffee, I mean like really really good with a bold flavor without being overturned. The place is quite popular so expect some line standing especially in the morning, especially on a weekend. I definitely will be back for more.“

“Everyone with a good heart and conscious is welcome here.

Al Aqsa is well-deservedly famous for their shawarma. It's crispy, salty, and filling. Of equal stature is their falafel. Not to mention, they offer freshly baked Palestinian bread loaves and ka'ak for people looking to bring fresh Palestinian baked goods home.

Ambience is inspiring as it speaks for social justice in Palestine. Service is beautiful; it's a treat to have the owner around as he takes good care of customers. Please come check out Al Aqsa when you're in Brooklyn“

“Everything I've had here has been exceptional - usually getting a few pastries and maybe a sandwich. Love that you can get super high quality pastries with seasonally focused ingredients and interesting + well balanced flavors with less of the line / chaos of similar places like radio or l'apartment. Laurel is better in my opinion too! Many fruit pastries let the fruit flavor get overpowered by the general sweetness but not here. Not sure what the complaints about the staff/slowness are about, the person working the counter has always been kind and patient, and there hasnt been much of a line in my experience.“

“I love their almond croissants and walnut levain breads that I get at the NYC Greenmarket - I am sorry they will no longer be there after January 22nd, but look forward to visiting their restaurant in Brooklyn soon !“

“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.“

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

“I think it's crazy how this place literally made every other supermarket go out of business with its consistently good food and fresh produce/ bakery / amazing gyros I mean could this place literally get any better. The line could be down the block and you would still check out in legit 3 minutes max lol 😆 these guys and babushkas know how to run a business 🤣“

“Stopped by Ceremonia this morning and grabbed their biscuit sandwich (no bacon) for breakfast. It came out in just a few minutes, and the staff was really kind and welcoming. The sandwich itself was epic. It was huge, with a runny sunny-side egg that made it feel dramatic and so satisfying. I was hoping for decaf coffee, but they only had tea, so I skipped the drink this time. Took my sandwich over to McCarren for a little picnic, which was the perfect way to start the morning. I also picked up one of their cookies to share with my husband later I can’t wait to try it.“

“Edith’s is right around the corner from my hair stylist, so I always treat myself after an appointment. The food is so good; I always try to get something new. My most recent visit, Lyla steered me toward the Turkey Hoagie, and it’s my new favorite sandwich. Thank you, Lyla!“

“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 ?“

“Tasty cafe for a quick bite. Staff was very friendly and even helped us find seats. Not a ton of seating, hard to find more than two seats together. The everything croissant with lox was very good; it looked small for the price but I found it quite filling. Coffee was good too!“

“Idk what happen to my review I left but food was really good. Service can be worked on but hey it’s expected honestly lol I drove 8 hours to New York for and stayed awake all day, got here around dinner to order food for the first time and the one lady was mad bc I was confused with veggie doubles vs regular doubles. Otherwise I would definitely come back and suggest to others. Spicy eggplant roti & doubles are soo tasty.“

“This is a really great and tasty treat bakery. They have lots of daily prepared fresh pastries on display. Their coffee taste awesome as well. I got also a walnut cookie very nice taste. They are only take out....will definitely be back and try something else when im in the area. On another note their front service workers are not very friendly, but I went and gave the 5 stars on account of their products.“

“The bagels are really good. I grew up out of NY. We had bagels we thought were good. Then I came to NY and realized what bagels were supposed to taste like. Bagel Hole bagels are top notch. Of the best kosher bagels in NY. The sandwiches are good, service is slow and that could be due to demand and they need to focus on consistently cleaning the restaurant. They improve their speed and clean consistently, I change my rating to a 5.“

“A great breakfast destination to work or unwind, offering coffee, delicious baked goods, and a thoughtful selection of toasts and sandwiches. The atmosphere is chill and casual, with outdoor seating to enjoy. On your way out, grab a loaf of artisan bread to bring the vibe home.“

“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!“

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

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

“AMAZING donuts and even better service, the kind gentleman that served us gave my friend and I a donut to try. the smell, taste, and texture are to die for. And that’s huge coming from a picky pregnant lady. Would definitely recommend it.“

“The pastries, both savory and sweet, are absolutely delicious. Particularly noticed how the baklava manages to be coated in honey without making the sweetness overpowering. On top of that, the person behind the counter was so kind and provided a recommendation as it was our first time in. Overall an amazing neighborhood spot that still fully welcomes newcomers, and some of the best pastries you’ll find anywhere. Not to mention truly shockingly affordable (we paid $11 for two savory and two sweet treats). Highly recommend to all.“

“got the babka and it hit perfectly after 10 miles into my long run. cute, laid-back space with solid coffee. small but cozy, and staff were super sweet. would return to try the sandwiches and more pastries. a nice break from the busier cafés nearby.“

“We came from Baltimore all the way the Catskills and stopped into the bakery on a whim and OMG! So much deliciousness!! I needed some of everything and the owner couldn't be nicer. Definitely a must-stop shop if you're in the area. The babka is thick with so many delicate, chocolatey layers. The sugar cookies were super soft and moist and the donuts super fresh with the perfect texture. 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.“
