Perfection. We ? this place so much we took engagement photos here.
Try the grain pie - I had never heard of it before: it's moderately dense, moist, citrus-y, and exactly sweet enough, like a pound cake upgraded on all fronts. If this was in lower Manhattan there would be a line around the block.

The real deal… the only proper way to judge an Italian bakery is via their Sfogliatella….5 Stars. Go before their kids are too lazy to take over the business….

Very very disappointed in the cookies. I’ve had cookies and pastries from this bakery my whole life(68 years) and today I was in Brooklyn and HAD to stop for fancy cookies. I can’t believe the taste. Awful. And the sandwich cookies used to be filled with delicious jelly. Now there’s some kind of pink stuff that is hard and sticky like glue. What the hell are they doing there!! What a major disappointment!!!

i messaged through Facebook & spoke to an actual person to place order for 2 lbs of cookies, shipped to FL, delivery ON 9/9. Was advised this would be do-able. Received package (not marked as handle with care at all) on 9/5, fewer than 1 doz whole cookies, mostly crumbs & broken bits. Contacted Court Pastry immediately, an apology was given & "the shipping company should have put the label on it." No refund, reshipment or any attempt to make this right. POOR customer service & the few intact cookies were not fresh for my event on 9/11. Do not recommend !

A moment of appreciation for Court Pastry's truly *excellent* Italian ices. The summer-only item is offered from a sidewalk window in limited flavors-- but what do you need a million flavors for, when you have perfect simplicity? I go for chocolate or lemon. The chocolate isn't too sweet, kind of a light cocoa-y granita effect. The lemon is as tart and bright as homemade lemonade, an almost sorbet-like smoothness. It's tempting to order a big size, sure-- but small/medium comes in a classic paper cup that charmingly wrinkles and bends as you slurp to race the melting heat. If you're inclined to go for an after-dinner treat make it an early supper, as they close promptly at 8pm. The whole business is a true historical gem of the neighborhood, it certainly feels like it hasn't changed much since they got started in the 1940s. I know others adore their baked goods, I haven't tried them myself in a while. But the Italian ices are at the top of my authentic Brooklyn summer must-haves.

While the service here is garbage, the Cannoli (4.5/5) is very good and probably one of the better if not the best cannolis in NYC. The small Sfogliatelle was nice also (3.5/5) but dry.Cannoli (4.5/5) - Almost the perfect cannoli except the shell tasted a little bit burnt. The filing was perfect - creamy, milky ricotta with small little chocolate chips which wasn't overly sweet. Lots of places will mix cream in but not this place - the filing was decadent.Sfogliatelle (3/5) - the outer shell was lovely nice and crispy and held its shape even when I cut into it, but while the filing is tasty and has great notes of orange, it's quite dry.Also the service is ridiculous - the lady at the counter wouldn't accept my money because it had a small tear in it. If the bank can accept it, why can't you?
They sell ices!!! I got the custard which was yummy and had nuts in it. My kid got the lemon ice which was super tasty and made me regret my decision! They had chocolate and pistachio which I will try another time! Yes they have cookies which we love but I never saw them with ices!!!

Don't sleep on the apple turnovers - they are perfection! I also love the almond cookies and biscotti. The people who work there are lovely - kind and friendly.

Always a great stop for pastries or Italian ice in the Summer.

I bought multiple items from this bakery just to try them out. Unfortunately, every single pastry ranged from subpar to terrible. I bought them for friends & family & no one liked them, so I ended up throwing them out. I honestly don’t know how this place stays in business. I wish them well, & hope they can improve the quality of their baked goods. I just can’t recommend them.
