I would have preferred a bigger selection of Italian cookies but still the ones that were available were fresh and delicious. The pignoli cookies were my favorite as they were soft & chewy! Equally as good, the rainbow and shortbread cookies were delicious. I was tempted to try the cakes but I had already selected too many cookies! I'll def try those next time around. read more

My top choice for a bakery in the neighborhood. Genuine family owned top-notch bakery on 5th and 78th. From fresh cakes, desserts, cookies, cupcakes, to cheesecake and more (what else could you want?) The taste of anything from BR Bakery will blow you away. Need I say more? read more

Irish soda bread yesterday was somehow missing an ingredient because it was flat, dense and dry! For 3 tiny connolis $5. that doesn't make sense, to much for minis! It was tasty but cream seemed like it was slightly low in quality! I don't live around there but was dining in Skinflints and visited the bakery. The young lady was welcoming and the twin tower cake was interesting and a cool story!! read more

I stopped by and bought, what I think, was the last piece of carrot cake [$5]. It was actually really light and not overly sweet. There's a perfect amount of cream cheese frosting on top and in the layers. The raisins were juicy and tart. This cake was really amazing. Bay Ridge Bakery is the epitome of an old school Brooklyn bakery. Lots of neon florescent lighting and display cases of butter cookies and cake. There's also a whole section devoted to gluten free goods. I would love to have another slice of carrot cake..not right now but sometime soon. read more

This place has had a chokehold on me since 2018 when I had a bite of their Chocolate Mousse cake. I have been coming here religiously for years. This bakery is an absolute local gem. I will drive out of my way to get a cake from them on a special occasion if I have to. The pastries are to die for. Presentation is beautiful and professional with cute chocolate buttons and glaze. The taste of everything is amazing and the sweets are not too expensive. This is a classic bakery with very high quality cakes. My favorite pastries are the german chocolate cake, chocolate mousse cake and the pineapple coconut. Love this little bakery!! read more

My favorite bakery in Bay Ridge! I love this place. My belt doesn't but I do. The deserts here are always so good. I never bring these pastries somewhere where I don't hear "Oh that's good!" You really can't go wrong here with a choice, and you have plenty of choice. I've never had a problem with the service. The women at the register are always nice knowledgeable, and help you out. This reminds me of the bakeries I grew up with in the city. Nice local people who know what they're doing, good food, and like the radio set to the oldies station in the background. It's a vibe. read more

Stumbled upon this cute bakery 2 or 3 years ago and this has been a go-to every time I'm in Bay Ridge. The butter cookies are my absolute favorite. They have a light crunch and chocolate dipped end with sprinkles. This is a nice family owned business and each time I've visited I was always met with a sweet and courteous worker. I'll be back! read more

I purchased a few items here on my CC for $12.20, the person at the counter actually accidentally charged my card twice. Once for 12.20 and 14.80, when I brought it to there attention, they said it would drop off. However the amount was put through. I'm sure if they fraudulently charged me 14.80 they do it to lots of people. As far of the baked goods, they are nothing special, dry cookies, bland cream. Save yourself the hassle. read more

Very nice service! Got their mini strawberry cheesecake and it was a bit pricy ($6). The texture was not as creamy as I like it, felt like those no bake cheesecakes (jello-pudding consistency) but still good. read more

This year's office potluck was kept small and simple. Someone brought in this wonderfully decorated cake from Bay ridge Bakery and it was the highlight of my day. The cake was super moist with a fluff of lite creme and almond filling. I couldn't get enough of this delicious cake.. The fruit toppings were all drenched in sugar glaze; wasn't too thrill with that though. Bakery offers lots of varieties of pastries and cookies as well. Will definitely stop by to purchase their sweets. read more

the best strawberry cheesecake! clean and quick service. good variety of baked goods.

I'm updating my review, unfortunately from 5 stars to 1 star. I honestly don't know what went wrong with this bakery but something happened and their cakes are not the same anymore. I've always loved their Black Forest cake and I tried several other cakes and they were all really good and moist and just had the right amount of buttercream that made the cake so delicious. A couple of months ago I was nearby so I went in and ordered a black forest as always, when I got back home and tried it, the cake was dry and definitely has been in the fridge for so long and wasn't fresh. The next day, the leftovers of that cake smelled weird, rotten or something, I threw it away and didn't enjoy the whole thing. I thought oh well, maybe cuz of COVID they are not baking daily as the demand is not high. Yesterday was my son's birthday and I went there a day before and pre-ordered a cake, informed the employee who's working there that my last experience was awful and cake was dry , " please make sure that it'll be baked fresh and it's moist" she told me not to worry and took my order. In the birthday party, when we cut the cake and I tried it, I was soooo disappointed of how DRY the cake was! It's for sure not fresh and not baked for this occasion though I pre-ordered a day before! Also their buttercream filling was waaaay buttery (if that's a word) that you can't eat it, I had to throw a lot of the filling as you feel you're eating raw butter (noticed the guests did the same as well) because it's way too much! Not enjoyable at all. Last pic (the darker one) is from yesterday's cake. read more

It was my turn to bring the sweets. We had a playdate, and this time we were invited to Katie's place. Originally stopped by Monaco's but found out they were closed on Mondays, so immediately went on Yelp to look for another resort and found Bay Ridge Bakery. Didn't see any labels of the cakes and sweets in the counter so I picked with my eyes. The Strawberry Cheesecakes were decadent. There was an orange flavored cake that was very refreshing. The chocolate slice was rich. I also got a round shaped cake, or was it more of a cookie, not too sure but it was sure ex-creamy good. I really didn't get the names of the sweets so you guys would have to reference with the pictures I took. read more

As my boyfriend was exiting the car to pick out his own 25th birthday cake, he asked me if I wanted to share in a cheesecake cake or something else. I knowing this was his day to choose, (sometimes I can be greedy) I said get anything you want. Well, he did...but I was in mind in the decision making without being present. He bought a red velvet cake. Now, we've been trying to find the best there is, and honestly, this was incredibly light! Although it was not my favorite (see my review of Penelope) it really did try to deliver. It was moist and was presented beautifully - the way all cake should. We've succumbed to getting rainbow cookies here too and we've always been pleased. Worth a look around or a sniff of the air if you're really watching it. read more

It's not easy to find a bakery that accommodates a gluten allergy and when you do, it's not much of a variety. Look no further, this bakery is it. They have a lot of gluten free options to choose from and they're very tasty too. I bought a regular (not gluten free) cannoli for my son and thinks it's one of the best ones he's tried yet. Would definitely recommend this bakery. read more

Yummy pastries! The nicest people here! Great pastries always. A true favourite place.

I've been wanting to try this bakery for sometime now and finally did it today. I got a strawberry cake, chocolate cake, and cheesecake all of which taste great and not overly sweet. Price is ok, these three slices of cakes came to be around $14. Only con is that it is not pet friendly so I won't be able to come in here when I'm walking my dog. read more

I love their truffles! However, they don't always sell them. I also like their tiramisu, other than that I would say that their pastries are decent. If you have a sweet tooth and just looking to satisfy a craving then you won't be disappointed. As for me, I usually come here to look for the truffles and if they don't have it I don't buy anything. I love my sweets, but I am very picky. I only buy the ones that have the "it" factor. The truffles make me come back here, too bad they don't always have it. read more

I brought selection of goodies to share with my gluten free family from Gluten Free Gloriously / Bay Ridge Bakery. Pictured here are the cannoli, lemon bar, and cookie dough cupcake. While the cannoli was delicious, I can only eat half of one as it's very rich as a cannoli should be. The cupcake was light and simple, highlighting the yummy cookie dough dollop. We all agreed that the lemon bars were our favorite of the bunch. Perfect for summer or year round. They were all readily available in the frozen case in the Bay ridge location. Also they recently announced that they have kosher certification through Earth Kosher so now more people can share my joy. read more

I love this cute little bakery. Everyone's so friendly and they have samples sometimes. MY FELLOW YELPERS - make sure to check-in and you get a free small pastry hehe. I got rainbow cookies, chocolate cannolis, and strawberry tarts. Before closing the box, the worker showed me how she arranged the box and asked if it was okay. I really appreciated that. Also, all the dessert is made fresh daily and there's never a line. Definitely coming back here again! read more

Love the linzer cookie, Italian cookies and strawberry shortcake. It's fresh and so delicious.

Great cake on short notice. Vanilla cake with chocolate mousse and strawberries. Support your local bakery.

Great selection of cakes, pastries and cookies along with Greek specialties. Also they're open on major holidays so you can get fresh dessert last minute if need be. They also have Aline of desserts that are but-free. We have someone with severe allergies in the family and this is a great place to have a nice variety of safe desserts that everyone can enjoy read more

This place can be daunting, but they're there to help. You've got cakes, tons of cookies, pastries, fresh baked bread/baked goods, and more. Some of the more fancy stuff in the cases is $40 a pound, so... don't buy with your stomach? Got a bunch of pastries and other stuff. Most things aren't labeled, so you feel like a jerk asking what everything is while the line forms behind you. But hey, that's show biz, baby. Oh, and because things weren't labeled, I can't really tell you exactly what I got. There were these little raspberry tarts topped with almond slivers, which were good. Got some baklava (or something similar), which were absolutely too sweet. Got a "fruit" Napoleon (that costs $1 more than the regular Napoleon) that just had a few tiny specs of canned fruit inside (but was otherwise good). Got some sort of pastry that they told me was "filled with cream", but it was more custardy. Also got some fresh baked sesame breadsticks and almond biscotti, which were both really good. So, some hits and some misses. But I could see myself returning. read more

This bakery was right on 5th ave the location is perfect there are so many things around. The young lady helping me was super knowledgeable and patient (thank you) typically I am not a fan of fruit and cakes but this was a home run. They used real strawberries and non of that canned junk. The cake was moist and the cream was delicious. I was definitely come back. read more

Bay Ridge Bakery - Cake!!! Strawberry shortcake - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you are searching for the best bakery in Bay Ridge--NAY, the best bakery in Brooklyn--well, your search is over because here it is! I have been coming to Bay Ridge Bakery for 8 years and trust me when I say that I have tried almost all--if not everything--in this bakery a hundred times over. The cakes are pure, delicious, and made with fresh ingredients--a formula this bakery has never messed with, and do not intend to over time. The bread dough is stretched with expert hands, and the cakes are baked and decorated with a eye for perfection. On top of that, service is top notch. Refreshing attitude and smiles from the workers here daily--a mannerism specific to Bay Ridge. If it's your first time here, allow me to recommend some favorites: French Cheesecake -- Light and Fluffy, with a chocolate cake bottom. This cake is one that comes to me in my dreams. Chocolate Strawberry OR Chocolate Mice-- Always fresh, always chocolatey, always perfect. Fruit Tart - On the Pricey side, but the plethora of fresh fruit just spells it out for you! If you're looking for pastries, try the Napoleon, Tiramisu, Strawberry Cheesecake, or treat yourself to a cannoli! Do yourself a favor, and take home a 1-2 lb box of their butter cookies, mix and match. Every time I bring these to work, they are gone within the hour. Other things they do marvelously here: Try the Greek pastries, spinach & feta pies(!!), marble pound cake, Greek cookies, and THE FRESH BAKED BREAD. By the Hammer of Thor, are those Breads good. Great to cut up into cubes and dip into some olive oil. Once this place has won you over, they make great custom cakes as well. The owners love to meet you and get to know you, and are very serious about getting that cake to be the best you can get! Overall, a great bakery that still holds to the high standards that many have fallen off from years ago. read more

I was shopping for a birthday cake so I decided to check out Bay Ridge Bakery. They have a nice amount of cake selection which are also sold by slice. Decided to get the chocolate mousse cake. The cake was delicious and fresh. Great bakery with friendly and quick service. Definitely will go back and try some of their other pastries. read more

We went there specifically for their German chocolate cake for my co-workers bday. The cake was different from any other German chocolate cake. The coconut pecan were in side the cake instead of sprinkle on top. Nevertheless she said it was delish and taste just like the ones she had when she was in Texas. She did say it was a bit on the sweet side. Will definitely recommend to try. I would go back to try their dairy free products. Recommended. read more

I have been living in Bay Ridge for a while, and unfortunately I haven't been to Bay Ridge Bakery before. It was my birthday yesterday and my sister purchased a chocolate mousse cake and brought it over. Oh. My. God The cake didn't last the night, it was so fresh and spongy and moist, and the mousse was absolutely silk-like. It had pieces of chocolate inside as well - I can't begin to describe how divine it was. I also loved the little chocolate mice on the cake and that they spelled my name right! (THANK YOU) Due to this fantastic experience, I am planning to go and get a BIGGER cake, because life is short, I'm past the point of caring about a diet with this kind of cake around, and I am not exaggerating when I say that this cake is NOT to be missed. On a more serious note, this experience alone was fantastic. Thank you to the entire bakery team and staff for your work, and I'm grateful to have such a fantastic local business that I plan to visit frequently going forward in Bay Ridge. I can't show you a picture because I ate it all read more

A solid affordably priced local favorite bakery. My personal favorite is the strawberry shortcake, but everything I've had so far, has been good. On some days, pastries can be a bit too sweet depending on who is in the kitchen, but they are all yummy and the presentation is very appetizing. It's really nice having it nearby whenever the sweet tooth needs to be appeased. read more

Bay Ridge is surely lacking in good bakeries. From the window, all of the baked goods look great and well decorated. Upon entering this house of sweets, you quickly soon find that the excitement in your eyes does not translate over to your taste buds. I tried a few individual slices of cake and found them to be too sweet. The strawberry shortcake had strawberry jam in the middle instead of actually fresh strawberries. This was a bit shocking to me (since this place is supposed to be a neighborhood institution). The only other time in my life I've seen strawberry jam in the middle of shortcake would have been at a diner or from the frozen food section of a supermarket. Highly disappointing, not good at all... read more
