This place has been on my must go list for a while now, so I was over the moon to finally stop in. I made it right before close and there were sooooo many goodies still available AND a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Definitely stocked up on those and some other treats and the staff were soooo fun and friendly, I will add this as a regular stop going forward.

This is actually a cute place they have a huge variety of pastries and a nice atmosphere. But I’d give them a low rating for the food, because $5 for a small empanada that’s 80% dough is just too much… even if it were super delicious. But it’s absolutely nothing special.

Great gluten-free banana muffins! So moist and rich in flavor! The GF cheese ball was not that good though

Had a very unpleasant experience here, and was upset that the store charges 25 cents for a BOX that the cookies go into -- there is also an additional charge for the bag that the box of cookies goes into -- just felt like a tacky charge on a cookie that's already over $5...

Once I discovered that there was a bakery within 10 blocks of my job with Booty in the name, I had to investigate. I came by here on Thursday for a light lunch and to pick up some pastries for my co-workers. This involved an eventful walk down 8th Avenue highlighted by an SVU set nearby; I of course paused for a few minutes to try to find Mariska but was unsuccessful. Anyway. Not much of a negative, but I WAS a little surprised that that the back of the space wasn't as customer friendly - there's a lot of inventory stacked up, and it's kind of drab. And maybe that's partially because by definition, the front and exterior is VERY much not drab at all - as you'd expect, there's a lot of rainbow colors and cartoon depictions of a guy with his rump sticking out. When you have a theme, you have a theme. But if they have the ability, I'd recommend spiffing up the back area, because if it had been more hospitable I would have taken advantage of it.
Since I was pretty hungry, I decided to get an empanada (initially I went with beef but the guy behind the counter recommended chicken since it was fresher and made that day - points for and against there. Appreciate the honesty and pivot (and it WAS fresh), but not great that there are not-fresh empanadas from the prior day prominently displayed. Random food trucks around the city shouldn't have a noticeable edge on a bakery. The empanada was tasty and flavorful, but for the price was actually pretty expensive, and I say that as someone who's grown pretty desensitized to NYC prices. It cost about $5 and I got literally three bites out of it. It should be at least 50% bigger than it is.
I also got a guava turnover, which was decent as well. Guava is one of my faves and to me a very underrated filling/flavor, so I'm always glad to see it getting its due. The top of the turnover had sugar granules on it (also something I tend to like for both texture and taste reasons), but it was a little too much - it made the pastry too sugary which I know is a strange complaint for someone who knowingly walked into a bakery. The cupcakes and cookies I got were warmly received by my colleagues and demolished within an hour or two (I got a variety of each), so that's also another positive. I had a hunk of the M&M cookie on my way back, which was slightly undercooked, just the way I liked it.
The gentleman who assisted me was perfectly nice (and the chicken empanada recommend is a big selling point) and offered up suggestions on the best options for the variety pack we collated. My only real issue is he didn't provide disclaimers about the bag fees - he offered to put everything in a bag (because why wouldn't you?) only for me to find out when I got rung up that I was charged $0.25 per bag. Now, that's not going to break me but that's more of a principal thing. Tell people when you're assessing additional charges for the choices they're making. Left a bad taste in my mouth that the guava wasn't able to totally fix.
I'm probably not coming back here for a big order, nor for an actual meal (even a light one, since I ended up having to buy an emergency hot dog on my way back to the office to fill me up a little more). A random pastry on my travels through Chelsea? Sure. But I think there are better price points out there, strange as that is to say in this inflationary environment. Cool name though.

We’ve never had a good experience or product at this place. Although we have given it several tries, we are consistently disappointed. Our first bad experience was asking what varieties of cupcakes were available, the counter person just pointed to the direction of the cupcake display. On another occasion, when the door was open, we were rudely told “we’re closed.” Most recently we purchased a dulce de leche cupcake that was stale, dry, not much flavor and skimpy on the icing. After reading other unfavorable reviews, we must agree the customer service is awful Any other items we’ve tried have been unimpressive. We live on the same block, the place never seems busy-so it’s no wonder the inventory seems stale and considering the customer service-no big surprise!!
beef empanada- maybe better than empanada mama!, cc cookie.

Stumbled across this bakery while I was walking around on holidays and was so impressed that I came back several times! The owner was always so nice they served great coffee. My favourite treats were the cheese rocks and kitchen sink cookie. Definitely recommend this place if you're near the area, you won't be disappointed.
