This has got to be my favorite bakery in Brooklyn. It isn’t just that the baked goods are delicious and beautifully crafted— because boy are they. But the Bakery on Bergen is a special community space that brings people together and includes all, from their community events and classes to the very ingredients they use. My friends and I have purchased 3 birthday orders from the Bakery on Bergen within the last few years, and this year was the most special by far. When I asked if it would be possible to order something gluten free, vegan, nut free, and egg free, the owner, Akim responded “absolutely!” My birthday cake could not have been tastier, but I was mostly blown away by how without hesitation Akim took on the project of making something equally delicious for my friend who has more than a few allergies. I recommend this bakery to all people, because there really is something for everyone. The Bakery on Bergen is also a woman owned, Black owned, Asian owned business! Support women and support your neighborhood bakery. It never disappoints!

Everything was perfect. Kim was an amazing baker and offered so much wonderful insight on what and how I should order, keeping my budget in mind. The bakery was so conscious of making sure that I got exactly what I needed. They were so quick, kind. AND the cake was DELICIOUS. Everyone loved it and complimented. Can't wait to eat more treats. Do not pass this place up.

Tried your red velvet cake recently at a friend's house warming and it was delish, great texture, not too sweet, loved the icing 👌🏽

The red velvet cake was so delicious…A must!!!

Wow, WOw, and WOW again. From the minute I went in, I saw the fabulous Kim. What a blessing she is and so pleasant. I had a strawberry cupcake which I am still tasting. The whipped cream on top was so light and the cupcake not overpowering with sugar. I am definitely recommending this Bakery and will be purchasing on a larger scale. I must mention Luis who was also a pleasure and funny. He made the visit even more special for he is full of hidden nuggets 😉. Thanks again. May God keep, cover and continue to flourish this business.

Some of the driest, overly bland and just bad baked goods I’ve eaten. The people working are rude as ever (probably because of how I look) and the place smells like spoiled milk.
Eating from the trash would be a better choice.

Their cookie was soft, chocolatey, and had sea salt on it. Delicious
Was it worth the $5.50? Not sure, but everything is overpriced these days.
Apologies for the photo, my mouth took some bites before my camera ate.

I popped in here for a sweet treat on my way home and all I can say is the owner is RUDE & distatesful . As a native New Yorker, it's disappointing to see a business that prides itself of being "black owned" have such poor customer service and treatment towards its black customers. She's a very hostile woman, who can't answer simple questions about her baked goods, without being rude or condescending. I will be sure not to spend money here again and you shouldn't either — disregard any generic PR response to this message.

I love this place so much. They had biscoff vanilla, funfetti, and chocolate cupcakes that were so good and then black sesame fig and ube cupcakes I didn’t get to try. I will be getting every birthday cake here from now on.
The cupcakes had very little flavor and were too oily. Don’t let the ratings fool you. Worst cupcake I’ve had in a long time and were 5 dollars each.

Recently, I visited Brooklyn,NY, to see the Jay-Z exhibit, and while in the city, I decided to visit businesses Keith Lee approved.Before heading to the airport I decided to visit the bakery to take some cookies back to Atlanta, GA. I was greeted by the store manager Louis who was very friendly while Akim was working with another customer. She smiled and said hello.Louis proceeded to show me the cookies they had available as he had to bake some more. I purchased three cookies (2) chocolate chip with sea salt and (1) Asian Sweet potato cookie. I was disappointed as they did not look like the cookies Keith Lee purchased and described. The cookies he purchased were crispy on the edges and chewy in the center. I purchased what I describe as cake cookies thick and dense.

I had a vegan funfetti birthday cake made here last weekend and it was AMAZING! Everyone commented on how good it was and were shocked when I said it was vegan. The owner was great to work with and even went out of her way to allow me to pick it up during usually closed hours. Really appreciate it and definitely recommend this bakery to everyone!
