    Baked goods
    Mei C.

    Came in during the weekend; by mid afternoon fresh baked breads were basically sold out. Got a Apple Strudel and a mini cannoli- both tasted good. The strudel had a lot of sweet apple filling; though the pastry wasn't as flaky and crispy as I had hope for. Counter staff was friendly and gave some good recommendations about their popular pastries and sweets. I'll surely remind myself to come in earlier to purchase their tasty breads. Overall, a good bakery

    Word in the halls of Walgreen indicated that there's a hidden gem across the street. A conversation was struck while we all waited for our vaccine and the woman said her friend used to work at the bakery nearby, called 18th Ave Bakery. It was as if she read my gluttonous mind, she knew it had been a while since I laid my hands on some delicious rainbow cookies. I popped over to the shop and was welcomed by a gentleman behind the counter with his beaming smile and gracious demeanor. He was a pleasant individual equipped with a great sense of humor and a refreshing amount of enthusiasm talking about the baked goodies in the store that any customer would love to encounter. I asked whether he has rainbow cookies, and he was almost appalled that I never heard of his decadent colorful morsels. "You've never had a rainbow cookie until you've had mine! No one makes them like me," he exclaimed. One bite, all it took was one bite, and it was heaven. Chi non ama una buona pasticceria italiana? Grazie, grazie mille!

    This is one of the last surviving original Italian coal oven bakeries in Brooklyn. They have the best seven layer cookies I have ever had in my life and an array of traditional Sicilian pastries like cannolis, lobster tails, napoleons and more. Their bread is famous in the area and I wish they had bread like this in Florida. They don't use any preservatives.

    Their business card

    I had just had a driving lesson at Brooklyn driving school and upon walking home found this bakery; I ordered the rainbow cake slice thing and took a business card. The cake was moist, fresh tasting and delicious not artifical-tasting, dried out or stale like other bakeries I've tried in the area. So glad I took a business card, I'll definitely go back.

    Very good bread here. I'm told but have not tried yet the lard bread which is said to be available only on the weekends.

    Old world Italian Bakery in the heart of what used to be an Italian neighborhood. While the neighborhood changed the bakery kept its charm.

    Simply the best Italian Bakery in Brooklyn. The cannolis are supreme, the fruit pastries light and sugary, and the breads superb.

    Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

    I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
