I was visiting a friend in Brooklyn and, as we were out, he suggested we stop by here for a quick bite and I am SO GLAD he did!! Wow!! It was INCREDIBLE!! I had such difficulty deciding as about two dozen things in the cases looked great. I settled on a Linzer cookie, hot chocolate, and a croissant. While the hot chocolate and croissant were excellent, the Linzer cookie was unbelievable!! I have been to Austria and the Linzer cookie I had today is probably the best I’ve ever had. Also, all three people behind the counter were incredibly friendly and made me feel so happy and comfortable here. I wish this place was where I lived but, this will be a must visit place on my annual trip here. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Please come here as it must survive forever so I can try all the other things that tempted me today on future trips.
Kid-friendliness: There were a few very happy kids here enjoying their treats.

I come here to get strawberry shortcakes for celebrations and occasionally treat myself to their pastry items. I have to say, I rarely have issues with their product quality, maybe just once when they sold me a sliced strawberry shortcake with not so fresh strawberries. However, staff is consistently rude and disorganized. They always seem to have an attitude as if your presence in the bakery is an inconvenience to them. No one wants to go to an establishment where you feel not wanted there.

This is an old school Brooklyn type of establishment. The way it felt nostalgic the minute I walked in!! This is the type of place you walk in and enjoy a cup of coffee and treat and just sit there and relax and stay a while. The older folks there gave me regulars feel. There were even three young adults doing a puzzle. I had a chocolate chip conoli with my friends. We sat and chatted for a while thoroughly enjoying the conoli and the atmosphere.

This place is the birthday cake king of Park Slope. Very good quality cakes, tarts, cookies and more. It is also a great place to have breakfast or sip a coffee anytime . Relaxed and pleasant, but popular .
Cousin John’s Bakery – My Favorite Spot for Over a Decade!
For the past 12 years, Cousin John’s has been my absolute go-to bakery, and for good reason! They recently moved to a bigger location (just around the corner from their charming original spot), and it’s even better.
First off, let’s talk about their apple pie – it’s pure perfection. Flaky crust, just the right balance of sweetness, and packed with fresh, delicious apples. You can tell it’s made with love.
They also serve breakfast, and trust me, their special breakfast is not to be missed: 3 perfectly cooked eggs, a buttery, flaky croissant, and some heavenly French bread. It’s simple, warm, and oh-so-satisfying – exactly how breakfast should be.
Whether you’re a longtime fan like me or discovering them for the first time, Cousin John’s will win you over with its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and unbeatable baked goods. So happy to see them thriving and growing – they deserve every bit of it!
a true neighborhood diner ... where you will see not only a person actually reading a print version of the times but also another reading the post. cheers.

Horrible!!! the cake is dry and tasteless, if you tell them to write Happy Birthday on the cake they won't they will leave it blank. They hang up on you if you call and complain and do nothing about it. After years of coming here this is not somewhere I will be supporting again. Horrible downhill quality and disgusting customer service

This is no longer the “Cousins” of the pass. Stopped for cannolis and napoleons for thanksgiving and the pastries were so old, they were inedible rubber. Just horrible, can’t believe they sell food so old and stale.
