PEP Bakehouse and Coffee Shop

This unsuspecting coffee shop is a hidden gem for delicious cakes! I randomly stumbled into PEP for a matcha, but I left with a vanilla hazelnut cake for a potluck I had later that evening (it’s the white cake with macaroon on top).

While I planned to go to another fancy pastry shop in the neighborhood, I’m glad I stumbled into PEP. The cake was an absolute crowd pleaser! 3 people asked me where I got it and they loved the light and airy textures with bites of cake/crunch.

Additionally, the employee working the counter was lovely and helpful! Luckily, the shop had extra paper plates and utensils for me to bring to the potluck. Overall, it was a great experience and I will be back :).

Nice coffee shop, delicious pastries 👌

Coffee here is the best on this side of 86th street. The baristas are nice as well. Support local and give their iced coffee a go!

The coffee is clean and smooth, and the macarons are delicious.

Amazing place

I’m giving all 5s on the review, but I didn't eat there—I grabbed an iced coffee during my day showing properties in the area. As a local realtor, I needed that pick-me-up, and being in Bay Ridge, I could have gone to a name brand, but I wanted to support local businesses. I was not disappointed! The staff was super friendly, and the coffee was very tasty. It gave me the pep I needed. Thanks again!

This is a great little coffee shop that immediately became part of my routine once I found it. It's a small place, so don't plan to park here, but if you want a Starbucks alternative, this is it.Good benches nearby (and a chair outside) to sit with your drink. These guys are doing what makes neighborhoods better: giving people solid local businesses to support.

Lady behind the counter was super friendly and patience… recommended some good drinks for me and my friends… will be coming back soon.

I used to love this cafe until today. Today I ordered croissants, donuts - everything was not fresh and not good. I think sellers should pay attention to the freshness of products if they want to keep their customers.
