OMG! Best donut I've ever eaten!! I couldn't decide what to get because everything looks amazing! I'll have to try everything they have. It'll take awhile:). Great coffee too. Strong and smooth. So glad Summit finally has a great gourmet place in town! read more

I've had the Baked cookbook for a couple years now and I've made a couple things in it with mixed results. I'm a competent baker so I was curious to see how their baked goods stood up to what I made, what I've had from other bakeries and what I've made from other baking books. Call it sacrilege if you like, but THE HYPE MACHINE IS IN FULL EFFECT WITH BAKED. Maybe it's because they've got this hipster meets back-country lodge thing going on. Maybe it's because they've got clever treatments of standard desserts. Maybe it's because they've got a pretty cookbook that incorporates nifty design elements, which makes it nice to look at. Whatever it is, they've got something that's getting people to head out there, but I just don't think it's worth schlepping out to Red Hook for their so-so brownies. Yea, I said it, bitches. Their brownies are so-so. Martha's are better. Martha is the queen. Long live Martha. read more

I ordered a cake from Baked for my 30th birthday after seeing all the great reviews and finding several of my friends had heard of the bakery--and heard good things. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in my cake (10" Citrus Passion Fruit, $50). The website describes it with butter cream frosting, which is not the case--the frosting is whipped and airy, not sweet and buttery. The description on their site should really be improved. The decoration on my cake was also not as advertised, though I didn't have time to fight that while picking the cake up. The passion fruit curd, I will admit, was lovely. I also had a sub par experience with their customer service when I originally inquired about ordering (note, they do not take online orders or orders by email), which was just snobbish and rushed. It told me to review information on the cakes page to pick my order (which I had already clearly stated in the email), and told me that I should also look there on my own to find the answer to my only question (do they deliver ? I found eventually on my own that they do deliver, though it's pricey at $40 to Manhattan). The link she sent to find this information on my own did not actually contain the answer to my question. read more

The chocolate chip cookies. How do they make them SOOO GOOOOD??? It's like, the most perfect blend of sugar, butter, flour, and chocolate in a thing you can eat - on earth! They're beautifully moist but nicely crisped at the bottom and edges. I worked at the gallery next door and ate one almost everyday I went to work. No, we should not discuss my weight. The food is regular lunch/breakfast fare, but the coffee and everything they bake is stellar. And as someone else mentioned, great music. read more

Went to Baked for the first time today for a wedding tasting. I first have to say that the icing at Baked is very light and fresh, definitely a lot easier to stomach than a lot of other icings in New York. Atmosphere and staff are both great, so let's talk about product. We tried the following flavors and loved them all. Ranking in order of most enjoyed to lesser enjoyed: Oppsy Daisy, Sweet and Salty, Aunt Sassy's Pistachio, Lemondrop, Carrot, Citrus Passionfruit, Malted Milk Ball, Red Velvet. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other deserts, I hear the brownies are amazing. read more

Awesome little restaurant where you can get your favorite dessert dish with some coffee in the morning and enjoy it one of their cute leather chairs or comforatble tables. Will be back again! read more

Baked is amazing. Every work day I go in for my amazing wake up coffee before I catch the bus to work. I adore the staff. And I obviously have to mention the amazing treats. I have yet to have anything that isn't delightful. My favorites: * Cupcakes - all flavors * Pockets - the spinach one I had was amazing * Whoopie Pies - So good, but I have to eat one over several sittings because they're so rich. read more

I am so lucky that *this* is in my neighborhood! And I'm trying my best not to have my patronage reflected on my person, other than in the Baked tee I might wear (well, and perhaps just a bit in the hips, but I am a curvy Italian girl in an Irish farm girl's skin). The staff here is super, the music is always pleasant. I have only gone here once w/ the intent of just chilling out, but I love that it's a place I congregate w/ my fellow AM commuters and we admire the beautiful case of baked goods. What's good? Everything. From the coffee (and they will make it exactly like you want) to the gooey yummy confections, it's a perfect place to give your dollars to. I have to say, their yogurt parfait is ample and full of ripe (not mushy or moldy!) berries and some terrific granola. I also adore the pistachio cherry biscotti. And I make my own biscotti (see the Italian bit above), and this gets my stamp of approval. And my husband says the Baked bar kicks big fat ass. One day I'm going to go all out for that oatmeal cookie. Til then, I'll keep enjoying my morning ritual here. For those who come seeking savory vs. sweet, there are lunchtime paninis and sandwiches. But the rotation of cakes is amazing--there is one that is even a sweet and salty caramel. And the red hot cake someone mentioned. Gelato and ice cream too. Damn, I think I just talked myself into having dessert! See you there.. read more

Sweets for the more refined palate. Their approach to cake seems to be less is more, in regards to sugar anyway. Nothing's ever cloyingly sweet so as not to overpower the delicate flavors, and the frosting leans creamy rather than sugary. Cupcakes are always fresh rather than slightly crunchy around the edges because they've been sitting there for a while. Some of the highlights: red velvet, sweet and salty (with CARAMEL!), oreo layer cake, malted chocolate (melts in your mouth), diner double dark, green tea. I'm not a fan of their brownies, though, as they are too sweet and too much on the fudgey side for my tastes. Otherwise, though? Well worth the trek. read more

EUREKA!! First time in this neighborhood and I discovered brownies!! Who knew, but apparently a dozen or so people have already. HA HA Brownies are to die for!! Love their sweet & salty brownie & their deep dark brownie. Generous bite size porportion... it was such a sad moment when everything was devoured. Must come back again soon to try their other goodies and delights. Meanwhile, it's great that I could order online for their signature treats. read more

Finally got to check out their original bakery in Red Hook. We went to the Tesla showroom and decided to stop by here afterwards. We got cupcakes to go but had the lemon lime bar at the café with some cortados. The lemon lime bar was amazing! I make a pretty mean lemon bar but I really loved their version! The texture of the filling was perfect! Cupcakes were also quite good though quite frankly the lemon lime bars is what will have me coming back. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. Couples, if you're looking to work with them for a wedding cake, their unprofessionalism and irresponsibility in how they treated us should be considered just in case they do the same to you. We made an appointment with Baked Red Hook on June 13 to do a cake tasting today. I had them confirm THREE times within the email thread as to who I'd meet with and at what location at that time. We showed up today only for them to say "we don't do tastings here, I don't know why she'd say that in this email, we can't help you" from the manager. No remorse, no attempt to rectify the situation, and no sincerity. Which is shocking when you think they'd want such a big client for a wedding. Already angry and ready to give up, I decided to call the Tribeca location anyways to see if they had the appointment in their system instead to try to make sure we were not screwing anyone over. They didn't have the appointment in the system either, unsurprisingly, and were just as unhelpful. "We're pretty busy but I mean we can try to fit you in." It was just a lot of finger pointing and putting blame on everything but themselves, and it was so unprofessional. No one tried to rectify anything and we are left from square one. We had such high hopes for this vendor but their professionalism is lacking and I would not trust them with my big day. read more

Wandered over after Ikea action. Gorg. space with piney walls and picnic table like tables and a chandelier. Open kitchen where all the concoctions are baked(tadum) The salty brownie was good as was the bourbon pecan bread pudding. What knocked my socks off was the spicy chocolate malt- a hot chocolate with Jacques Torres chocolate. Lot's of goodies abound in a real neighborhoody feeling spot. read more

Great baked goods with a nice cosy café experience. Really loved the chocolate pecan slice and the cheesecake. There are no frills. You don't get any garnishes or extras. Downside is that people come and sit at the few tables available for hours. It must be difficult for the café owners as those tables don't make much money. read more

Well, this place is definitely cute and cozy, probably a rare gem in Red Hook, but the whoopie pie and red velvet cupcake we tried were dry. Maybe we chose the wrong things to get. Nevertheless, the staff was really great. I would still go all the way to Red Hook. For IKEA. read more

This place is the master of the sweet + savory flavor combination. Their chocolate layer cake with salted caramel buttercream was so incredible I wanted to push my friend off her chair and run away with the slice that we were supposed to be sharing. Super moist cake with light, caramely flavor and sea salt crunchies on the top. Yum. Their sweet & salty brownie was equally decadent and amazing-- how they managed to keep the salt inside crunchy despite being embedded in the dense, moisturous environment of brownie heaven is truly beyond me. Their s'mores brownie? Also very good. Apparently they have sweet & salty nuts. I must to be trying them. read more

Not many things will make me travel to the most inconvenient neighborhood of Brooklyn*, but Baked's brownies can 'cause they are absolutely impossible to resist. Out of the three we tried--the spicy, peanut butter bar, and bourbon pecan--I honestly can't pick a favorite. (Although the pecans smelled like heaven.) It took every ounce of will power in me to not try one of their cupcakes, but next time I'm in the area (aka buying picture frames at Ikea) at least one of those gorgeous beauties will be coming home with me. Also a huge bonus is that they sell pounds of Stumptown, and the staff (and their playlist) was great. *I'm from southeastern Brooklyn, which is somehow less of a trek than this place. read more

You've got to love bakeries that do just what they say, bake, well. So looking online beforehand, I saw the hunting theme in the space and was expecting the Marlow & Sons / Freemans look. Yet arriving you get a down to earth cafe feel with cabinets of baked goods that make you're mouth water when you start looking and reading. Bright and airy space, the staff were mellow and friendly at every point. This was completely unpretentious. And the baked goods, gawd damn, I had the Cherry Cheesecake. Cherries swirled all through, all over the top, honestly this is the best cherry anything I have had in a long time. Friend had the Salted Caramel Chocolate cake and it was amazingly light with bright rich flavors. On those winter days you don't want to go to work, this is the place to hide yourself away at, sipping hot drinks and eating divine cake yummmm read more

Well I was not down for anything sweet but was hungry - the pesto chicken panini was great and big enough to split with a friend and save room for awesome dessert. nice minimalist atmosphere and friendly service. I will have to stop by each time I hit Fariway. read more

We looked far and wide for a wedding cake that was not only going to be lovely, but delicious. We wanted a cake that even the cake-haters would like. This meant, primarily, no fondant. After our initial baker choice disappeared, we found ourselves a bit short on time and our 10-10-10 wedding date nearer than we would have liked. Renato agreed to squeeze us into their baking schedule for that immensely popular weekend. We tasted all of their amazing creative cupcakes, but in the end went with a vanilla/vanilla tier cake and a chocolate/vanilla sheet cake. The tier cake was decorated with white chocolate cigarettes around each level, very simple and elegant. EVERYONE loved the cake, we have been eating our way through the top tier, and the price was $500 less than anyone else quoted. WIN. read more

Three word review: NOM NOM NOM. When the film crew I'm on is shooting at scuzzy warehouse at edge of the world Red Hook, I nab a cortado and a couple sweets on my way to set. They have everything from traditional brownies and cupcakes to crazy whoopie pie hybrids and other unique deliciousness. Not sure why they serve Stumptown - a unique local bakery like this deserves equally unique coffee & espresso from a local roaster. That and the midtown Manhattan prices are my only gripes, but neither are enough to keep me from visiting whenever I'm around. Props to you, Baked! read more

We were so happy with our Baked cake(s)! From the start the team was helpful - they set up an delicious tasting for us, went through all our options, and didn't pressure us to get anything more than what we needed. I wanted a "naked cake" with fresh flowers from our florist. We ended up with just that, a beautiful, small three tiered cake and two back-up cakes which they were nice enough to do the same crumb layer/naked style on so we could also display them. Everything was delicious. Great experience! read more

Coffee/pastries are great but literally every time I walk in the baristas always have a bad attitude and are super rude when taking my order. Which is upsetting/disappointing since I do love this coffee shop and it's conveniently located down the block from me. read more

I had been wanting to come here for a long time, and only for one thing: the spicy chocolate brownie. For some reason, nothing else appealed to me, but I love brownies, and I love the marriage of spices and chocolate more than any other combination. First off, it was a real schlep to get here. Even if one lives in Brooklyn, they're subject to having to either wait for the B77 bus or, like me, walk from Smith and 9th Streets to the bakery. It's very cute inside, but the girl behind the counter was quite out of it, and looked ready to smash her head into the cash register. Regardless, it seems to be a haven for small children and coffee-sipping intellectuals, so if you're like me I would get what you need and get out of there. So far I seem to have been speaking negatively, but the reason for the four stars is the brownie itself. Not only did I manage an END PIECE (the best part), but I was amazed at how homemade it tasted, how it was able to epitomize my ideal chewy yet soft chocolate morsel. The spice added a great punch at the end too, which prompted me to eat the brownie faster and faster to get that same tingly sensation at the back of my throat. Get the brownie, damn you! read more

I decided to stop by this place on a recent visit to Ikea. I had seen the episode of Throwdown with Iron Chef Bobby Flay in which Baked founders Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito battle it out over a banana nut pie, and was left unsatisfied by Flays quite obvious hack of a victory. Unforunately, the banana nut pie isn't on offer this time of the year. I appreciated their acknowledgement of seasonal cuisine, and settled for a quiche of the day and chai latte, topped off with a slice of pumpkin pie. Wow. I love quiche, and have sampled many since my sudden birth. This one topped the list. Definitely the best quiche I have ever had in my life. Exquisite mix of vegetables and cheese. The crust was perfectly crumbly, yet firm enough to hold the whole piece together. Perfectly salted and seasoned. The pumpkin pie was exquisite. Fluffy and light in texture, not too creamy, with a smooth pumpkin taste that's hard to find even during the winter squash peak period of October/November. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is because I don't feel I have sampled enough of the menu to posess adequate overview of the Baked experience. I of course, look forward to expanding my knowledge and appreciation of this truly one of a kind establishment in the near future. A side note: During my limited involvement with yelp, the various reviews I have written have brought me to realize that when it comes to preparing food, less is more. I commend Baked on it's reductionist approach to baking and food preparation. Far from the excessive strategies of top gourmet chefs, whose verbose recipes have come to disgust me, I am glad I can find solitude in Baked, and the neutral pleasure of taste known to everyone, a common flavor they have come to perfect through their masterful understanding of flavor function over form. read more

Ever accidentally drag the man in your life through the projects in search of a brownie? No? THEN YOU'VE NEVER REALLY LIVED! I didn't really do my homework about Baked and figured any old street would be fine to cut down from court street in cobble hill, but ohhh was I wrong. Word to the wise: Don't walk too far down court street and then cut over into Red Hook. If you see the expressway, TURN AROUND AND RUN BACK HOME. I really thought I was going to get the man that I love killed for a brownie. A brownie! Thankfully, we finally made it into red hook and found the adorable Van Brunt Street, which featured lots of cute jewelry shops and restaurants, as well a notable art community. So the brownie. It was pretty darn good. Good enough to walk through the projects for? Probably not. The concept of a sweet and salty brownie is brilliant, but one I could definitely manage to recreate in my own kitchen. So kudos for them for being so innovative, and if you live nearby and can visit easily, you should. But if you're from out of town, it might not be quite worth the hike. Especially if you take the scenic route like we did. read more

Dunno, I just wasn't the hugest fan of this place. Good sweets, all a little expensive (especially for the area) and sheeh-sheeh. Stop by if you're in the area but it's not really worth a trip to me. Disclaimer: I did not try the salty-sweet cupcake since they were out :( read more

Baked has my heart. Period. Cupcakes? Delicious. I've tried like every flavor. Seriously. Red hot red velvet? Yum! (The spicy cinnamon flavor is surprisingly good) Sweet and salty? Yum! Vanilla? Yum! The cakes are delicious - I tried a slice of the coconut lemon. Cookies are good, marshmallows are good, smores bar is good, apricot rosemary bar is good. Iced coffee is delicious, and $0.50 refills!!! With free wifi, it's totally worth the trek out to Red Hook. You know, if you're a shameless, job hunting bum like I am. Their sandwiches and salads (from Luscious) are decent, as well. The Luscious salad is yummy, I must say, and the roast beef sandwich was pretty good. $10 min on credit cards. read more

Baked is fantastic. This last trip resulted in hot chocolate, a dark chocolate peanut butter cookie, and a pumpkin bar. All amazing, as usual. read more

OK Baked, you got me. There is finally a cookie in the world that has chocolate that I like that is not an Oreo. Now the cookie I'm talking about is the oatmeal and it may be white chocolate, and the amount of it is minimal. But the combo of coconut, dried cherries, and coarsely chopped pecans is divine. Also, the thickness of the cookie is perfect. The inside is perfectly moist and the bottom is golden brown. It's just a beautifully crafted cookie. read more

5 stars if prices were a bit lower, but i'm okay with paying for baked deliciousness. Great iced coffee too.

I am absolute fan! I make Red Hook a destination just to stock up on goodies. Staff is great. I just had the cherry buckle and it was perfect! Everything I've had there is top notch. The Samao's are unique as well as the brookster which is combo brownie and chocolate chip cookie combo. Also had a banana chocolate chip quick bread. Plain brownies are as good as I've ever had. Great execution on whatever's there. Feel safe ordering anything! read more

The lemon bar was off the chains. The chocolate chip cookies were pretty good. I can't remember what else we ordered, but it was okay. Love the name of the place. Staff was friendly and vibes were chill. read more

I know they talk about the desserts but I honestly only wanted an espresso when I walked in. So I was curious, but hesitant. The place is super cool and super cute. Long wooden booth type tables line the right side of the place. They seem to carry good coffee, however when I watched the espresso operation, I have to say I was hoping for more. They pulled a long shot. Perhaps I should have asked for ristretto, but it was way to watery and yada yada. The color looked good, it wasn't burnt or anything, but overall I wasn't impressed by the shot. Still the place is cute, and I'd come back next time i'm in Red Hook. read more

Items sampled include: Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Bar Millionaire Bar with Chocolate, Sea Salt, Caramel, Shortbread Lemon Blueberry Scone Cinnamon Roll Chocolate Cupcake Cinnamon Coffee Cake Located in Red Hook and a bit of a hike from the nearest Subway it was a bit of a schlep through neighborhoods I cannot say I'd venture into by myself late at night to get to Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito's Baked, but during daylight - solo or with a pal - the small bakery focused on American classics was definitely worth the walk. Starting with the homey décor and moving right along to the friendly staff and clever consumables Baked is the sort of place where 'cool' or 'hip' is not so much the trend as is humble and happy - each simple-yet-delicious baked good something one could probably make at home (or from the Baked cookbook) but here made with top-quality ingredients and ready on demand at prices that seem criminally low considering the quality. From a buttery scone to one of the moistest cupcakes I've found in New York and then onward to the dense coffee cake it was only a slightly dry, biscuit-esque, cinnamon roll that failed to wow amongst the more 'common' items but moving onto two unique bars the bbakers redeemed themselves (and then some) with a warm pecan bar every bit as good as the malted chocolate pecan pie at Four & Twenty Blackbirds plus the Millionaire Bar - one of those rare instances where something is so rich that sharing is not just an option, but a requirement...unless you instead want to save some for later, which seemed much more logical to me. read more

I gave a friend birthday cupcakes from here - chocolate ones. They smelled amazing. And apparently, they were "damn good."

Online service was superb! I've ordered from here twice. The first time was back in March. I ordered a large quantity of sweet and salty brownies for employees that were here for a meeting. When I placed the order, someone contacted me and advised me to use a different mailing service to have them delivered. He fixed my order for me on the phone and while we were talking I received a confirmation email. Everyone loved them! And I promise you, I had ordered double of the amount of people that attended, they were gone within the hour. They were demanded at the next meeting we held this September. This time I ordered the assorted brownies before the meeting. However, I snuck one out of the box for another taste. It was delishh. However, I got some comments back that they were stale...not all but enough for enough to take notice. I still think they're just great and am giving it 4 stars, as I thoroughly enjoyed both times. read more

As someone who journeys through New York City and basks in all it has to offer, Baked was on my friend's list of dessert places to try. We traveled from Queens to Brooklyn to get our sugar tooth satisfied at Baked in Red Hook. Unfortunately, the amazing Brookster (half brownie, half chocolate chip cookie) and banana whoopie couldn't help them achieve a 5-star rating from me because the employees, every single one of them behind the counter were miserable. I can't speak about the bakers in the back because they are busy making these delicious deserts. The counter help though, need to remember they are the face of the bakery, wear a smile and maybe say hello and the morale of the place would be much better. I know sometime's people have a bad day, but attitudes should be checked at the door. Sorry, I'm not sorry. read more
