50 Best Bakeries in Brooklyn

“My cake was stunningly gorgeous. I never imagined my birthday theme could be so perfectly captured in a cake design, but ByClio exceeded my expectations. It was perfect!

For the cake itself, I got the Indian Summer flavor. It was a little dry and helped me discover that I don't enjoy fruit IN cake, so I would love to try another flavor in the future.“

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

“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“

“Eating the apple turnover inspired me to write this review - I've been here many times and nothing has disappointed me. Everything tastes super fresh, flavorful - even down to the chocolate in the chocolate croissant (it's like...not standard dark chocolate. I dont know what it is but its great and I enjoy it). Kinda expensive but worth it if you're ever in the area.“

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

“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!“

“This is some of the best food around, full stop – and it just happens to be veg friendly. But beyond that, this is a very special establishment. It’s the kind of place where every single part of the experience reflects care and intention – from the menu, to the decor, down to the cutlery. The vibe is casual, and the folks working there are welcoming and make you feel taken care of. The cumulative experience makes for a level of hospitality that many more formal restaurants in the city have lost. I hope this place is around for many years to come.“

“Great staff, friendly, perfect coffee, and their desserts are simply 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.“

“This place is cozy and makes for a nice place to go out with friends, dates or even alone! I went in by myself and tried their banh mi, which despite not being like what you would find in a typical Vietnamese spot, was super tasty and I highly recommend it. Use my photo as evidence of how good it is, I ate half of it before I finally took a photo, haha. The bread itself was soft, it tasted fresh, and the filling wasn't overly spicy or bland, it was just right. The baked goods looked tempting and I might have to try them next time.

Service wise, they're great. The staff will let you know how long you'll wait for items and they are good at what they do, both in the front facing customers and in the back prepping.“

“Tbh the gluten free muffin was divine. I thought I had the best gf banana bread recipe but this put me in my place. I would have never known it was buckwheat/gluten free. So moist and fluffy and the perfect sweetness.
There’s a short wait if you’re getting a burrito but there was no line or wait for a baked good.
Their prices are steep-ish but fair given their popularity. The muffin after tax was $6.50.
Honestly so many gluten free options it was great.“

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

“While I thought the shelf appeal was great, I’ve learned not to be fooled by good-looking baked goods alone. Fortunately, Miolin’s taste as great as they look!

I’ve tried their strawberry croissant, chocolate croissant, double-baked almond croissant, and kouign-amann. I was a bit skeptical about the 'double-baked' concept, but I took my maiden voyage into that world with Miolin, and it was delicious!“

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

“Radio Bakery is such a treat. I love trying all their seasonal pastries and also indulge on some of the classics. Some of my favorites are the cinnamon roll, brown butter apple tart, and the smoked salmon focaccia. It can get busy but getting there around 8am, you shouldn't expect to wait that long.“

“my favorite coffee shop. all the women are so friendly and make all the baked goods and drinks with love. i highly recommend the oat hochija latte and their home brewed iced teas. in the fall they have a delicious kabocha tea cake and regularly have a yuzu lemon cake and a lavender blueberry cake that are divine. i usually go during the weekdays in the early morning/afternoon and they have seating available, but it is a small space and can get busy on the weekends.“

“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 ?“

“Ordered yellow duck cookies for my daughter's baby shower. They are adorable! They're large, wrapped individually, and the packing was fabulous. There is no way any could have broken. They came quick, and smell great. Can't wait to taste. If another occasion arrives, I will definitely order again.“

“Been here once or twice before but I am happy that I came this morning. I was uplifted by the worship music as well as my Oat Matcha and apricot danish. All the baked goods are very well done. I’m just puzzled why this neighborhood patisserie/coffee shop isn’t more busy?? Deserved to be full at all times! Thank you for your service!“

“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!“

“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 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“Incredible local cafe. Great eclectic collection of books, magazines, and records. Staple for daily coffee and matcha. If you like cold brew, you’ll love their rocket fuel. Weekends feature amazing events and pop ups, plus extra specialty pastries. Ambience is equally comfy as it is insanely cool. One of a kind!“

“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 👌🏽“

“There was a long line, but it moved fairly quickly, so the wait was ok.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the Roasted Mushroom Croissant was especially awesome — definitely the highlight! The coffee was great as well.

The only downside was that I ordered a macchiato, and it was paid as a macchiato on the receipt, but when I got to the car, I realized it was just an espresso. A small mistake…

Overall, still a very good experience and I would come back again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Trusted this bakery with a very special order, my grandmothers 90th birthday cake and they did not disappoint. The cake was fresh, moist, and flavorful, the cannoli and fresh strawberry filling was amazing. I’ve brought pastries from here in the past but this is the first time using them for a custom cake but it will not be the last. The staff were all great as well.“

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

“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“

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

“Good cakes and very friendly staff.“

“Quality products and great customer service!“

“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!“

“Best Bakery in NYC. Got my vanilla & Chocolate Mouse Cake today 😃. 🎂 delish! I’ve been going here since I was a little girl. Grew up in the area. Always come back to bushwick for this cake. Want a good cake please go here. Best in the business.“

“I can’t make this up if I remember correctly, the worker named Hafij was genuinely one of the coolest people I’ve met at a spot like this. He was super friendly, approachable, and made it feel welcoming right away, especially since it was my first time coming here. Hafij helped me decide what to order and gave real recommendations instead of rushing me, and he was patient while answering my questions. You can tell he actually cares about customers and takes pride in what he does, and because of him I’m definitely coming back in the future.“

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

“Great Armenian food and more“

“I visited Yummy Tummy bakery for the first time today, with five other friends of mine to support a Black-owned business during Black History Month. The owner Melissa and Kaylan made the entire experience a delight. The two of them made sure we got all of our treats in a timely manner and treated us with such care. The sweets themselves were absolutely delicious. The fruity pebble cupcake particularly was the perfect amount of sweet, moist, and airy. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend you stop by!“

“I love their shrimp po'boy. It has a dash of raisins which add a nice sweetness to it. This time I got a red velvet slice of cake and that was delicious. Good news, they have tons of desserts, so I'm excited to try something new next time I pop in. Super friendly people work here as well. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Seriously good home style chili from awesome peeps.“

“I’ve been here 5 times since I came across their page on instagram… the vegan cheesecakes are my favorite. I wish they had more locations throughout Brooklyn but it’s worth the trip to greenpoint to grab a few slices and it’s nice place to just sit down and enjoy some food.“

“I tried the chocolate babka at 1pm on Saturday and really liked it. No line up on a cold winter morning. Slice of chocolate babka was $5.95 and very rich, good chocolate flavour, and not too dense.

Birbs will line up, very excited to wait for crumbs to drop. Great views of the Brooklyn bridge.“

“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.“
