When you pass a cafe that has a sign that says "Best Chocolate Cake in NY - Food & Wine", you are going to go in and try that chocolate cake. Bake shop is a cute, but roomy cafe that along with chocolate cake serves a good selection of coffee, baked goods, lunch options and tea. Their case of pastries was extensive with different quick breads, cupcakes, cookies, and cakes. I got the Brooklyn Black Out (chocolate cake) cupcake and a tea. It was one of the better chocolate cupcakes I have ever had so I recommend. They also have a nice selection of vegan and/or gluten free treats and their red velvet cake is made without food coloring also looked amazing. read more

Vegan chocolate cake is the best chocolate cake I've had. And I'm not vegan. Please reopen!!! I'm so upset they are closed for Covid. read more

Can you please train your staff so they are more careful with things like this? It was very easy and simple to put this cupcake upside up. This is annoying. read more

Friendly counter staff, nice atmosphere (with interesting assortment of random things available for sale), and delicious baked goods. I've tried the carrot cake, banana pudding, banana bread, banana peanut-butter bread, coconut magic bar, and probably a few other items. They seem a bit on the expensive side, but perhaps this is typical / reasonable pricing for "vegan" baked goods. They recently discontinued offering single-use disposable cups. Getting coffee to-go requires either purchasing a re-usable plastic cup for $2 or bringing your own. Unfortunately, as a result, I expect I will stop in for coffee less frequently than I had previously. read more

Trendy little spot with plenty of seating. I had a slice of key lime pie and it was decent enough but nothing special. I did get an overpowering instagram vibe, so if you're into that, this will be your jam. read more

Great cafe in the neighborhood, I had matcha latte with almond milk, black coffee, vegan jerky(packed, retail) Overall, average in taste and quality. I love the chill ambiance here, perfect place to get some work done. All the tables are spread out so you dont have to rub shoulder with anyone unless you decide to sit on a communal table. There's a lot of plants in the shop and an indoor plant tower. Service is friendly and quick. I will definitely come back. read more

3 words: Honey. Avocado. Loaf. It's everything you never knew you needed in life: dense and chewy yet not heavy, lightly sweet with a drizzle of sticky honey on top, moist as can be with chunks of avocado layered through. Perfect with a cup of coffee or as a mid afternoon snack. The very friendly barista told us it has a cult following- many people come to Bake Shop ONLY for the honey avocado loaf. Great place to do work- on a Sunday, you'll find the place packed with people getting their lives together on their laptops. It gets super busy so weekdays are a better bet if you want to snag a table to catch up with friends. Such a gem in an area of Bushwick that is becoming overdone and over-curated. Go out of your way to pop in and make your own day with the honey avocado loaf. read more

Love this little Bushwick/East Williamsburg gem. Very homely and inviting with live plants making it feel like you're sipping coffee in your garden. First things first, Bake Shop boasts a sign that says "best blackout chocolate cake in the US". I don't know how true this statement is, I've not had every blackout chocolate cake in the US, however I know I'm absolutely in love with the decadent, rich, moist goodness they served me. Secondly, everything is fresh baked and made on premises. Thirdly, the prices are reasonable so I can actually afford to treat myself to delicious cakes and cappuccinos when I go by. Sadly this affects my diet negatively so my waistline and I are discussing how best to deal with this. And last but definitely not least, they sell plants. Cute little succulents as well as larger sized plants. read more

I haven't posted on Yelp in years, but felt it was absolutely necessary to share my experience. My sister and I needed a quick snack before a show, and were delighted to find this place with so many vegan options. We each ordered savory and sweet items, plus coffee and a drink. We were in rush so the moment the food arrived, I immediately went for the cake - and she yelled stop!! I spat it out quickly. Luckily, she noticed there was some kind of a spider/bug on it. It was small and moved about the cake quickly. After a moment of deliberating, I decided to bring it back to show them. There was a line of people, so not disturb their customers, I went to the back area and quietly told one of the workers that there was a bug thing in my cake. Without any emotion, she said "trash is right there". I said, please take a look and shoved it closer to my face. She said nothing. I tossed it and came back to my sister to relay what happened. We sat there both shocked that she didn't care. Meanwhile, we only had a few minutes before the show, so I tried my vegan tuna sandwich which was two supermarket breads and crushed chickpeas in the middle. Of all the vegan sandwiches I've ever had - this was honestly THE WORST. It's as though it was made by a carnivore who had no idea what vegan food is. I tossed most of it. Finally the guy behind the counter came by and asked what happened and we explained. He said, "next time, come and show me the bug." But we didn't want to disturb the customers waiting in line I explained - they would have all left hearing the story. He asked what we want to do and offered a substitute, which was fine. Finally we had to go and realized the coffee wasn't brought out - and he told us he didn't take the order for it and to pay if we wanted it made. I said, I heard her order the coffee and now we had to leave and had no time, he didn't care nor apologize for not hearing the order. The whole experience was totally baffling. Most places would at the very least be apologetic, and appreciate that we didn't make any public fuss about it. We left $29 poorer (plus $2 tip before any of this happened). read more

Whats up with this pope business??? Been going here for years and it's taken a weird change with all this pope/catholic propaganda

A charming little spot with great vegan options. The coffee's great and the bagels are amazing. Everything baked fresh daily and it smells amazing inside. Great spot to chill, read or work. The vegan blueberry muffins are also great! read more

After driving past this place over 100 times i decided to check it out Mainly because there was a parking spot right in front. I am glad i did. i had no idea about all the vegan options with sweets and savory foods. I was impressed. I had the vegan pizza bagel which was quite delicious and the coffee was good as well. The prices were pretty fair especially when i am used to paying double for coffee and a vegan snack! read more

Sadly, I have been disappointed in my last two visits to the bake shop. It seems like whomever has been baking recently is not baking as well as the original employees bakers. Two slices I purchased three days ago were dry, perhaps old and /or over-baked ex. vanilla jelly almond and red velvet slices. For the price per slice this is unacceptable! Finally slices are cut uneven, are much smaller and the cakes look untidy ...not possessing the usual beautiful consistent appearance. For example second layer of red velvet missing frosting to outer edge of cake like the the top and lower level. I hope this can be remedied soon this WAS my favorite bakery. read more

Ive never seen an establishment with more inconsistent hours. First off they are the latest opening coffee shop in the area so don't depend on this place to get your coffee before work. It's currently 9:30am on a Saturday and they're still closed when it says they open at 8. I live around the corner and they never open at 8. Guess the owner could care less about his customers. read more

From the coffee to the cakes - just delicious and made with care~ I go here everyday and never get disappointed! I love this little place in the corner which has a lot of love in their food & service. The lady who cooks needs a medal. Sweet and kind ladies at the cashier/front also. The owner is very friend Lucky to have them nearby read more

I tend to look up bakeries or sweets when I'm in a certain neighborhood in NYC and if there's one nearby, I'll go check it out, full or hungry. We were in the area since we did some vintage shopping so when I saw this place and their sign that they were voted for the blackout chocolate cake, score! blackout chocolate cake... it's really good. the texture of the icing was not as smooth as I'm used to. I couldn't pinpoint why it was like that but it was still good. Not too sweet. banana pudding... if you're used to commercially made ones you might not like their version or maybe you will. I liked it coz it tasted fresh and good quality ingredients. Also not as sweet. I tried various other pastries, they were all good. Worth a try if you're in the area. read more

After a long day of shopping after stores my friends and I decided to try this bakery and it was one of the best decisions of our entire day. This cake was so...incredible. It literally made me feel something like I was so happy about how good it tasted that I felt like I was on a food high. They make AMAZING lattes too (with plenty of dairy options) ... this place is dope and I totally recommend it ! read more

This is one of my favorite neighborhood cafe's..tasty, fresh, yummy treats, just yea! BUT Recently they've allowed patrons to enter w/o masks. I've seen this twice over the past week...It's clearly states "NO MASK NO CAKE". The staff should be mindful of providing a safe environment for all. I will not continue to support them if they provide cake and coffee w a possible side of COVID! Be warned.... read more

I love coming here particularly love the vegan empanadas and strawberry muffins. All of the things i have tried are vegan and i keep coming back for them. They carry Oatly milk read more

I logged into yelp just to write this review. Had been craving a rich, thick, sweet cake for forever and couldn't find it anywhere. Came here, had the vegan vanilla cake because it looked extra juicy and it was everything I ever dreamed of. That's it. read more

I tried this place because I seen it on Food Network. I had a GIANT Piece of read velvet cake it is just not red because it did not have any red dye. The cake slices they give you are HUGE!! They have free WiFi and nice ambience. Their is a variety of Cakes and Cookies and Cake Cups. Vegan options and not baked with any artificial dyes LOVE! This place can not wait to go back and visit. Happy eating. read more

I would have bought more things if the lady working here wasn't so rude to me. The cake was good though and that's why i'm giving it two stars. read more

The cake was yummy, the vegan brownie was dry. The employee was rude when I asked about certain stuff they had n she had an attitude

Don't go here unless you want to pay an extra $2 just to have your coffee in a cup. Instead of just using compostable cups this place has *banned* single use cups and forces you to buy one of their reusable ones if you don't have your own. Oh & the cup they make you buy - is it even biodegradable? Because it sure as heck doesn't look like it. They are literally just up-charging under the guise of being environmentally conscious. We paid $13 just to get a black coffee and a latte because of this. Biggest waste ever. We will never return and I wouldn't be surprised if this place runs itself into the ground very soon. read more

The baked goods are wonderful. The vegan pizza bagel is like a grown up Bagel Bite - so much nostalgia! All the vegan pastries are delicious. I'm not even vegan, but there's no compromise on taste so it's easy to make little switches. The only thing I've been disappointed by is the vegan cream cheese, which is more like a coconut paste. It's not bad, but it definitely doesn't taste like or satisfy a cream cheese craving. read more

What a cute place. It is decorated in a cute way. I had the carrot cake. It was so fresh and the frosting was creamy. I would recommend this place for a nice dessert after dinner. read more

I saw the chalk board sign yesterday for the cake, so I ducked in today. It was raining, with thunder & lightning outside... what better time to have a piece of chocolate cake. So I did.... I would give it a 7, 10 being omg I just had a chocolate mouthgasm! Aside from enjoying the cake and letting the storm pass, it was a great place to people watch, recharge my cell phone, and use the rest room. There were lots of other great offerings that I might grab something of before my trip back home read more

Quirky bake shop with neon lights, plants, coffee, small bites and odds and ends. Went in the evening on a Saturday and they had just dumped their coffee so they made an americano (espresso shot and water) but was poor substitute and tasted so watered down. Saving grace was the brownie - most delicious fudge brownie I had ever had and well worth the few dollars. read more

The more I come here the more I wonder if the working conditions of this place are terrible because everyone that works there lately seems to be extremely pissed off. The sweets are usually pretty good. Once in a while I get something that is burnt or dry but it's not a huge deal because when it's good, it's good. I really do wonder though because it feels very apparent that ordering ready-made goods is annoying and a huge task. read more

Overpriced and average is a rough combo for a place like this. The food is something you'd expect from your 9 year old cousin who has started cooking and you have to let them express themselves and try the food when it's really just kind of a sloppy mess - that's this place. read more

Went here while waiting for a table at Roberta's and decided to have dessert before dinner (that's how it should always be done!). The decoration here is very hip and very Brooklyn. Extra points for staying open till 10pm. The guy behind the counter looked miserable AF though and was not very nice to us so that was my only gripe. We tried to be friendly and he really just looked like he wanted us to go away lol. The Brooklyn Black Out cake was very good - not the best chocolate cake ever but definitely rich and decadent. The Velvet cake was mediocre - the saving grace was the cream cheese frosting. Overall good cakes but nothing that I would ever trek out to the area for. read more

The Blackout cake is definitely not what is was in the past.....Did they sell this place?...the usual lady that baked the cakes is not there and the cake taste artificial now and its just not the same rich dark chocolate taste as before and the slices are smaller. read more

This place is super close to where I live, and I love that there are so many vegan options. Their cheesecakes (mostly not vegan) are to die for! Their coffee is way overpriced for the taste though, and their matcha/chai lattes aren't very good. Their pastries are super hit & miss and it isn't the friendliest service. It's really more of a 3.5 than a 4, but maybe they're just stumbling due to COVID. read more

I love the decor, prices and options - delicious vegan and non vegan cakes, muffins and good coffee! Great customer service and very pleasant staff. Small quiet atmosphere - a hidden gem. read more

Despite not being vegan myself, their vegan/vegetarian food is BOMB! Hands down the best carrot cake I have ever had in my life, and their lentil soup is delicious as well. They serve really healthy portions (expect to have leftovers for at least a day or two if you get a slice of cake), and their service is wonderful. I love the atmosphere of the shop, with all the plants being one of my favorite aspects. Really solid cafe! read more

I didn't even know I liked banana pudding before I came here! I was feeling like their classic, the chocolate cake, was too rich for me, and a very helpful and friendly barista told me that some people come in just to eat the banana pudding and leave if it's not there. Well, that sold me. Don't get me wrong, it's still definitely rich. But it was the perfect soft, cookies saturated but not soggy, sweet without being cloying or overwhelming, cold and smooth- I in fact came back just to get that banana pudding myself. Try it! read more

Nice little cafe on Flushing Ave. Conveniently in a very busy intersection, it can get pretty packed during the day and on the weekend. Came here on a weeknight and it was nice and quiet. Cute interior -- plants everywhere! Good music, GREAT pastries, a little on the pricier side but brooklyn is brooklyn. Highly recommend the vegan carrot cupcake. I've yet to try the blackout cake, but I'm coming back soon. read more

Came in to try the brooklyn blackout cake. This review is for solely that, and it's five stars because it is legit the cake of my dreams. I've been craving a dense, moist, chocolately (but not sickeningly so) cake for months now. And out of all the other things I've tried, this finally hit the spot. It's surprisingly not overly sweet (obviously it's still sweet), and I felt like I could keep eating it without feeling nauseated. And the slice ($6) is pretty damn large. I wish I lived in East Williamsburg so I could have this for dessert all the time. They also have a bunch of other cupcake flavors and like 3 other cakes as well. They have free wifi too. Highly recommend. Hope to be back to try other treats. read more

Ordered toasted onion bagel w plain cream cheese and cold brew- they don't carry regular ice coffee for $10. Bagel is small/flat and came out not toasty/colored but had weird microwaved steamy texture. It's also called bake shop but the whole place smells like chocolate chip cookies with a lot of cookies, muffins, brownies etc..not a real and serious bakery. ..just a lot of sweet offerings. I work in the area but not likely to return, the prices seem bit predatory and offerings gimmicky without much passion to the products read more
