Inside - A bakery interior with customers sitting at tables, decorated walls, and a display case on the left side of the image.

Cute new bakery that I saw just walking on eighth Avenue. Everything looks so modern inside. It was so full inside and the treats looked so cute and delicious. All the tables were full, and there was a good amount of people also looking at the bread and around the register. It was very lively inside. The checkout is fast. They have a $10 credit card minimum. So bring cash if you don't spend more than $10. They had a rose mochi Boba bread that was shaped like a flower. It was delicious. They also had a garlic and cheese bread that I did not really like. They also had some cute buns like a bear shaped bread and just all in all very cute, desserts and pastries.

There's several Asian bakeries located close together on this block, so I decided to walk into this bakery and find different varieties of buns and cakes. Buns and cakes are all placed behind the enclosed display window; found this Pull-Apart Croissant bun (4.25), that tasted really good. The bread is a mix between a buttery croissant, shaped like a round loaf of bread. For the namesake of this bun; the satisfaction of pulling apart each layer, makes every bite that much more delicious. There are some other cute and different varieties of cakes and breads, though each time I visit I still would go for the pull-apart bread. This location has some seating along the side of the store. Overall, a good bakery on this block

Taro Mochi Croissant

Great pastries with a beautiful storefront! It is self service with plenty of seating. 4.7/5 American Biscuit ($3.75): Incredible lamination on the bun, loved the tangy sauce, lettuce/cucumbers/tomato + chicken made it almost like a lunch sandwich! Would absolutely order again! 4/5 Taro Mochi Croissant ($3.5): a bit breadier for a croissant, enjoyed the glaze and almonds on top. Generous mochi filling and the taro paste was delicious. I will definitely be making additional trips here to try other pastries!

Came here on a weekday to get a milk tea. The service was very nice for sure, super attentive. Decor; everything was super pretty and instagram worthy. Their bread, pastries and cakes, looked soo cute and delicious. Their milk tea; 3.5/5- they use all powder for this tea and it didn't make my stomach feel good after drinking it. I would not get this again. Tip; does not have a bathroom & $10 minimum for credit card. Overall; I would come back to try their other items they offer just not the milk tea.

New Orleans chicken bun, taro bun, and blueberry story

This is their 2nd location in the area and this one is conveniently close to me. The inside is nice and bright with ample seating. They have a great selection of unique breads, making it very difficult to narrow it down to a few. The bread here is a little pricey compared to other bakeries in the area ranging around $3-5, but I think it's worth it. All the buns I've tried here have been soft, pillowy, and delicious. I ended up choosing a taro mochi croissant, new orleans chicken bun, blueberry story, and another taro bun. The taro mochi croissant and new orleans chicken bun are a must-try! The croissant was crispy on the top and soft on the inside. The taro and mochi worked so well together. Everything about it was just divine. I selected the new orleans chicken bun because it was just too damn cute! They really shaped the bun to make it look like a drumstick. I had doubts about the amount of chicken they'd put inside but was shocked to really find a drumstick in there. The chicken was nice and flavorful with a bit of a kick. Already planning to go back tomorrow to try a few more buns!

It is a very cute bakery shop that sells different kinds of pastries. You first grab a tray, line it with parchment paper, grab a tong, and then you can get whatever bread is available to you. There is a variety to choose from. The interior is very simple and cute. I do recommend this place.

Barley Time - NOW OPEN

Across the street from Paris Baguette is the newly opened Barley Time, a Chinese bakery and dessert shop with a layout much like that of French-Korean bakery chains. You grab a tray, a sheet of wax paper, a pair of tongs, and pretty much self-serve bread and pastries before getting in line to pay. The space is beautiful and immaculate with plenty of seating, though very crowded since it's the first week of opening. They currently have an ongoing promotion till Monday 9/25: 15% off everything except cakes. We've tried several of their breads and pastries, but the Taro Masala Kosher is what has me coming back every single time. I mean, taro + mochi + croissant -- need I say more? The croissant is just so incredibly light, buttery, and flaky, pairing perfectly with the delicately sweet taro paste and sticky mochi inside. Other great options include the Taro and Salted Egg and Sticky Rice Cake.

This is Barley Time's new location on 8ave. They have another location on 59st 7ave. Decor is similar. I've tried their cakes before so I decided to stop by the 8ave location to see what Christmas cakes they have. Not much options on display but I would say their Christmas cake designs are a lot cuter than Paris Baguette or Tous Le Jours on 8ave. Got a small strawberry cream cake for $45. Taste is OK, but not as great as past cakes I've had from their 7ave location. Not sure if it's because the cake is from display or if it's a location problem. Was able to pay and go pretty quickly.

Radio Bakery - Earl Grey Morning Bun (~$6)

Just learned about this place yesterday and yeah... I get the hype now…read more Got the burrata sandwich; super fresh, soft bread, and the burrata was doing what it needed to do. Creamy but so good. Also grabbed a few baked goods: - gf brown sugar corn muffin... lowkey my favorite. Soft, slightly sweet, didn't even feel gluten-free. - earl grey morning bun -- light, flaky, and had that subtle tea flavor without being too much. Everything felt fresh and made with care. Definitely going back.

Radio Bakery is probably the only bakery I'll happily wait in line for again and again. It's also…read morethe kind of place where you can pick anything with your eyes closed and know it'll be good. We arrived at 9:45 and got the pastries at 10:30. The wait was longer because we had to wait for the specials to come out from the oven, otherwise we could've just skipped the line and ordered directly at the counter. *Mango Lassi Croissant $15 Simply amazing. Ngl a $15 croissant should be illegal...but I went speechless after the first bite. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY I am not even a huge mango lover like anybody does, but WOW this mango croissant was seriously the BEST mango pastry EVER. The pastry shell held flaky and crunchy, and the center was filled with a labneh cheesecake and mango gelee. We were surprised the filling wasn't liquid-y at all and held up well! We also tried the new Artichoke and Green Garlic Foccacia ($9), and the Fennel and Sausage Foccacia ($9). I get their foccacia slice every time I'm here and they never let me down. So pillowy and delicious.

Prospect Heights

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 .

Ok folks.. it's been almost a year since Radio Bakery landed in Prospect Heights.. is it a one hit…read morewonder or an all star? What do you think I'm going to SAY? It's an ALL STAR! If you have not been fortunate to salivate and then dine on ANY item that RB offers, then all I can say is, " Sorry for you!" Lol! Does it live up to the hype? YES! YES!YES! I am in love with their sandwiches, first 1. THE BREAD: worth the cheat... baked on premises. You can see it live when you walk in here and on India street. Repeat after me.. BAGUETTE..BRIOCHE..FOCACCIA..CIABATTA 2. THE OPTIONS... Repeat after me: TURKEY KALE BASIL PESTO.. TUNA..SPICY TOFU.. HAM WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER Your eyes are starting to dance.. there is a huge smile on your face, you feel a bit unsteady as the server asks "What can I get for you?" and you point to the sandwich display case and say"I want THAT, THIS and come to think of it... THAT TOO!" 3. PASTRIES: Salivate with me: CHOCOLATE BEAR CLAW.. PISTACHIO CROISSANT.. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE, EARL GREY MORNING BUN.... 4. SAVORY: SCALLION TOAST, CHEESY PRETZEL BEAR CLAW, HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART 5. Service: TOP NOTCH My fave is the Turkey Kale and Pesto on Sesame Focaccia.. the kale is marinated with lemon juice and olive oil, turkey is a mix of light and dark meat, the pesto has pine nut and pecorino. Yummmmmm.. I was asked if I wanted a bag, yes, one that is big enough to pack the entire store! There are a plethora of fine eateries in Prospect Heights which I am always exploring... However, when your exploration leads you to a gem, like RB, or your fave song, you want it over and over again. There is always a line, they let clients in one at a time or in twos. Be patient, line goes fast! Bravo RB for consistency, excellence and delicious food! Shout out to Shawn who waited on Fawn.. great service and patience as I snapped photos for Yelp. Let me say in advance " I told you so!" Radio Bakery 186 Underhill Avenue Take 2 to Grand Army Plaza, exit at Plaza Street East, Vanderbilt Vabderbilt, walk upstairs go down one block, Bear left 5 minute walk Post RB dining, stay on Sterling Place and you will see shops, eateries and pretty neighborhood or Brooklyn Botanic Garden close by, pack a picnic
