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.“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The very best bread ever. I Love it💋“

“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.“

Amazing kind people with warm personality. A must to go especially in the morning when is all freshly made. Will come again ❣️“

“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! 💛🍪🧁✨“

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

“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!“

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Outstanding salty honey pie 🥧“

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

“Thank you so much for making these beautiful cookies for me to propose to my bridesmaid!! She loved them and you guys made it so easy for me to customize these cookies and order them all the way from Denver, Colorado! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Placed a nationwide order for some cookies and pastries. When checking out, I typed in the address I wanted it shipped to (my mom’s house in PA); however I chose Apple Pay as my form of payment (forgetting that it has my own address as the shipping address). When I received the confirmation email, I saw the wrong shipping address (totally my fault). I called Circo’s the next morning and they easily fixed the shipping address and they insisted staying on the phone with me to make sure that I received my new confirmation email with the correct shipping address, which arrived within seconds. The cookies and pastries were delivered on time and were packed perfectly, making sure nothing got broken or damaged in the shipping process and also ensuring that everything was fresh. My mom and I enjoyed all of the yummy treats over the holiday weekend. Thank you Circo’s for an amazing experience. I will definitely be ordering again for the upcoming holiday season.“
