I had a cardamom bun but loved hearing about all of their items that day, including bread loafs, cookies, and fresh blueberry muffins, it's a really tiny place so it's really 1 customer at a time inside, but the owners were so helpful and nice. I basically inhaled my cardamon bun and can't wait to go back next time I'm in NY.

I always love a bakery in an unexpected location. Located a block from the 9th Avenue D train in…read morethe industrial northern reaches of Sunset Park, the weekend-only Moonrise Bakehouse certainly fits the bill. Bread is really the specialty here, and I'd recommend focusing on that. We tried the dense corn rye, which was incredible with a dab of butter. The proprietors warned that it's a hearty calorie-dense bread, and so we knew to sample in small proportions. I also enjoyed the chocolate oatmeal cookie, which brought over some of the same rustic flavors of the bread. The berry muffin was the only thing I might skip on my next visit - it just wasn't as memorable as everything else.

Addictive with perfectly pillowy and moist interior, and outside with just enough crunch. (I'm so sick of twice/over baked viennoiserie these days.) The person behind the counter was patient with my indecision and questions, while quickly helping the guy that already knew his order.

Pretty good bagel spot in Brooklyn…read more The texture of the bagels is right on the money. Great chew and softness. Only tried the black peppercorn and everything bagels but they had a good amount of seasonings and the scallion cream cheese was my go to. A little on the pricey side but good bagel nonetheless.

As I was getting ready to place my order the young lady who was well mannered and was welcoming said I'm sorry we are out of cinnamon raisin bagels. Suck to be me. So I just decided to not get anything. It was around 9:15am. It seem like a popular early morning breakfast spot. Next time I have to come earlier.

Italian bread the way it was suppose to be made…read more It's one of those Brooklyn classic that has been untouched by time. The store and recipes haven't changed since they've opened. They don't have a website or any social media but they stay in business because they have the best bread in all of Brooklyn. If I'm home I buy two packs of the breadsticks to take with me to friends in the west coast. My advice is to go early!!!!!! They'll be all sold out by 11am (or sooner if it's a weekend). The staff are friendly and super speedy. The line will be out the door and you'll still make it through in 10-15 mins cause the counter staff is moving so fast. It's a small shop but you really aren't in there for long. If you're looking for pastries pair with your bread you can pop into Aliatto's next door.

As someone else's review noted, the owner at the counter is rather gruff and let's just say a little different but countered by the very nice Latina woman who works in the kitchen. He gave me a friendly hello and told me that the low carb muffins were still warm from the oven (mine was fresh but not warm). There are only two small tables in the bakery but being Tuesday mid morning I had a table to myself and he had no problem with me bringing in my 7-Eleven coffee. My blueberry muffin was good for a no guilt snack but it couldn't compete with its high carb cousins! :-). The other pastries looked good and although it is a small bakery, it has many baked goods from which to choose. 3.5 stars

When residents become oh-so proud about how good a NY bagel is, I'd like to assume Hot Bagels is…read morewhat they have in mind. It's plain. There's no attempt at decoration, a creative name, or any real flair because it's been around a couple generations and everyone they need to sell to knows who they are. Just walk up and forcefully squeeze your way in. There is minimal space, as it's more of a distribution center with a foyer to order. Expect uncomfortable stares from locals. Order an everything bagel with cream cheese. Very crunchy...almost too well done for me, but still very good. You can't go wrong with breadsticks as well. Loaded with sesame, these come out piping hot. Eating them plain does not appeal to me, but I can tell these are high quality as well. Each item was under two bucks, which is insane considering the cost of food virtually everywhere else. I suppose that the volume they churn out allows such a steal. I don't think there's any reason most people will find themselves on this block, but if you pass through, trust you've found a clandestine spot that won't disappoint.

This was my first NY bagel…read more I found myself in a neighborhood packed with dudes in long black coats and wide hats and thought, "With this many Jews I gotta get myself a bagel!" The place is tiny. You shoehorn your way in and stand shoulder to shoulder with a half dozen of your closest sidelocked friends. And you probably ought to know what you're after before they ask 'cause these ladies are hustlin'. It was fast, full contact, not quite rude but not too far away. It was stereo-typically New York. And it was oh so tasty.

I want to be clear - I still love Bagel Pub as a chain of bagel joints, but on my most recent visit…read moreto the Park Slope location I have to confess to being a bit let down. At first, things seemed normal. There was a line at the counter, I put in my order at the counter and then paid at the cashier station. The bagel I got was delicious and well toasted. The strawberry cream cheese was fantastic and I'd get it again. So what changed? Well, two things really. First, I had to wait for quite some time to get a seat, and when I finally did, the back of the chair felt like it was going to fall of if I leaned back. So be careful with whichever chair you pick to sit on. Second, service was...gruff at best. Almost everyone I interacted with on my most recent visit looked annoyed to be there. The only exception was the guy who took my order. Everyone just looked...annoyed. It really felt unwelcoming. Again, I am happy to visit Bagel Pub again in the future, I just hope the reception is better next time.

Terrible service and major food safety concerns…read more I had a awful experience here. First off, it was nearly 90 degrees outside, but it felt even hotter inside the shop because the AC was completely off. Second, the customer service was awful. The girl taking orders was flat-out rude--after taking my order, she literally told me to "move" instead of politely asking me to step down. By that evening and into the next morning, I had severe diarrhea. In that kind of heat, dairy like cream cheese spoils incredibly fast if it isn't kept cold. If you visit this shop and notice it's hot inside, do yourself a favor and leave. It is not worth getting sick.
