Delicious savory pies. Argentine and Brazilian chicken. Brought some home to reheat for lazy nights in.

Ok this review might not be for everyone but Did you grow up eating Ring Dings and Twinkies ???? Well I found the perfect spot for you !!! My bestie told me about this spot and last year for her birthday she ordered the Ring Dings and boxed gifts . Can I tell you this isn't your old Ring Ding ! It's HuGE ! I finally stopped in for a visit and welcome to Betty Bakery in Brooklyn ( yeah I know I'm supposed to review Queens but I spend 1/3 my time out of the borough ) Located in Boreum Hill on Atlantic Ave between Bond and Nevins St is a quaint little shop that makes some retro goodies . They do other types of desserts but admittedly I love the Ring Dings . They are a chocolate lovers feast ! Thick chocolate on the outside cake inside with a bit of cream. The added twist they are sprinkled with cocoa powder on top . They also make vegan versions . The twinkies good too ! The only thing missing was the Hostess packaging ! One other thing they make small pies too both sweet and savory . I took home a steak and cheese pie that can be but in the over or microwaved and it was delicious ! Street parking but pretty much no existent since it's a residential/commercial area and stops right up the block from the B63 . read more

Carrot cake was way too sweet and the frosting was grainy. It's a pretty heavy slice of cake which is to be expected at the $9 price point but it just wasn't a pleasant experience to eat. Had no problems with service, guy at the counter was nice and moved quickly. read more

I was going to a yelp event when I saw BETTYS was still on atlantic avenue. Felt a bit of nostalgia. ( when I was pregnant 13 years ago i had tried there lemon square and pecan square and was totally addicted) Went inside it was almost 6:30 . I looked at the goodies and the lemon square was there but this time it was lemon /coconut I decided to try it. I was telling the gentleman I was so happy they were still there I had gone over 10 years ago. He wasn't nice but wasn't nasty he was like oh they sold in 2015 to new owners . So I asked if they had the pecan squares he said no but i have brownies with walnuts I said what the heck let's try he put it in a bag and gave me my total and i paid . I kinda hate when it ask for a tip cause you literally just put the item in a bag but it's the holiday season so I added $2 for tip . He has walked away and told me there was napkins and he was holding the door. I was a bit appalled. I'm guessing they were closing anyway it was a strange interaction. When I got home i realized he gave me a blonde NOT a brownie with walnuts. I tried my lemon bar it was good but now how I remember. read more

While it's a decent cup of coffee - there is a distinctly uncomfortable vibe about the place.

dot cake was 80% frosting and the little bit of cake that there was tasted old. Also none of there stuff is fresh

I have ordered their Valrhona chocolate cake on 3 separate occasions. Dare I say it may be the best chocolate cake in the city? It's rich, it's moist, and it's so chocolatey. There's a good ratio of cake to mocha cream cheese filling/icing. I stopped by this weekend for my own birthday celebration. The cashier/server was fine with me cutting the cake there, and he was very helpful and nice! There's a small bar with several stools for seating, and I think they have outdoor seating out front as well. Their savory pies looked really good, too. read more

Acquaint, friendly neighborhood bakery. I've gone in many times for cupcakes, which are always moist and delicious. The cookies are also yummy. I found the pie a bit dry. Yesterday I picked up a carrot cake for an event. I came in last minute but, they still were very helpful in terms of writing something special on the cake. Yes, it was pricey, but everyone loved it and asked for seconds. My iced matcha latte was good too. The cashier was very helpful. Betty, I will be back again! read more

If you don't smell cake when you walk in any bakery door, walk out. Slap on the wrist for me because I know better. I bought a cold slice of red velvet cake from a cold employee. A frozen look and didn't crack a smile and wasn't warm. $9.75 for a portion of old chocolate cake. What a loss. It was grainy and dry although it looked moist. They kept it in the oven too long. But the cream cheese frosting tasted fresh and was tasty. Shame on Betty. read more

Counter guy not helpful. I bought 3 different little pies and he didn't label them so I had no idea which was which when I got home. Ended up having to waste some because my sick with the flu partner took the one not meant for him. Anyway, I remember when Betty was new, it was attractive and the goods seemed fresh and well presented. It was a special place. Not anymore. Need to up its game and, for one thing, hire good counter people and keep the goods looking fresh and appealing. It's really gone downhill. read more

What a shame! I walked in here with my husband and 2 year old son. THE CASHIER WAS EXTREMELYYYYYYY UNFRIENDLY AND COLD! He didn't even say hello and complained about having to switch out to a bigger box because we were buying more pies! I didn't think that would be such an issue... I also purchased some sweet desserts as well. As my son finished his cupcake, a Caucasian family entered the bakery and to my surprise the cashier was over friendly to them and making recommendations on what to eat. I was in shock and didn't want to think much of it but as I left I thanked him loudly and he proceeded to ignore us and not even acknowledge us. Wtf is all I can say?! I don't want to think like that but all I can think was this guy was definitely racist. How horrible especially living in NYC in 2024. Betty Bakery owner if you're reading this please do better! I think this will be my first and last time at this establishment especially when I can shop elsewhere! read more

The worker was very friendly and had good energy. The s'mores ring ding was very good it wasn't too sweet the flavors were very balanced. It was a nice calm vibe not too extra but chill. read more

nastiest bakery i've ever been to! this is the second time counter person named Frank has been rude and literally threw me out of the bakery. My body was shaking by his behavior I was so shocked. I am a senior citizen and had a small dog in a bag completely covered up in it's dog bag. When I asked for carrot cake he demanded I leave and few times said "I will not be serving you!" i said why he said "you have a dog!" i said she's in a bag and completely covered up plus she's a service animal. He kept saying I refuse to service you -- get out now!" this went on back and forth a few times til I left. I said it will take 2 minutes to ring up my carrot cake and i'll be gone he said "get out get out!" and I proceeded to tell him that he can get in trouble since the dog is a service animal and has rights. one could hardly see the small senior dog covered up completely hanging in bag on my shoulder. This dog WALKS into Trader Joes, Whole Foods, all restaurants but was demonized at betty's bakery. I was at work in the neighborhood and wanted a carrot cake for my daughter's birthday. We own a building in the area and i am tempted to warn the tenants about this bakery. read more

Omg my fellow yelper foodies ...... This amazing bakery has it all sweet & savory going on .....

What a great bakery! Being a person who prefers savory treats, this is a great place to check out. On top of having delicious sweet stuff (GET THE COCONUT CAKE & CHOCOLATE CAKE) they have an array of savory pies. The crust is so flaky and delicious. The staff were so friendly and you can tell they are extremely passionate about their craft. read more

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it...I don't even know if Cheryl Kleinman is still here- but that woman rocks when it comes to cakes and pastries!!!! I'll try to briefly level with you my love for Cheryl Kleinman. When I searched for a wedding cake 10 years ago, I wanted it to be the best. May have spoken to Cheryl (or someone else) about flavor options for our summer wedding cake. Based on the lemon, Almond and carrot cake selections and desired frosting, my girl Cheryl was able to fit us in for a Saturday taste test. The thought she put into the 3 mini individual testers took me to a pastry heaven I've never been before. In the end, we settled on the Almond...but the transportation cake fee from Brooklyn to Crabtree's Kittle House in Chappaqua was through the roof, sadly we backed down but happily opted for La Tulipe in Mt. Kisco. Fast forward to Pandemic 2020 and feening for something sweet. Betty's isn't Vegan- all I said was, "f*ck it". They're doing pick up and delivery with no mail order option. I emailed them and received a call from (Dakota...sorry for the misspelling man), a few back and forths, told him what I wanted, received an email invoice, I paid and received my goodies intact. Just be mindful, there is a delay and got my box in a little over a week. My 'Twinkies' were so light and the taste unique- I cant even put it into words. Chocolate Chip Cookies? Nice size and buttery flavor. But I expected them to have that 'chewy in the middle- crispy edge' feel. These were flat and crumbled all over me. Again- I'm not sure who's the pastry chef here, but- one 'large' cookie goes for $3.75 a pop and expected a higher-end cookie. Listen, customer service is solid but Betty B. might still pulls all the stops with only their cakes, pies- not cookies. read more

Dakota, one of the owners and who runs foh, makes you feel like you have just been invited into his home the minute you step into this deliciously smelling and adorably decorated bake shop. I was on a mission to find the best carrot cake in the 5 boros but looking at all the other cakes they also had available this day, I could not resist just ordering a whole carrot cake but also ordered a slice of the other four on hand as well. To top it off, they do a beautiful balance of sweet things and savory things, so had to try their Shepard's pie (they have a vegetarian version of this too), their Brazilian chicken pie made with housemade Sofrito, and their new beef chili pie as well. My pics are of all of their sweets only because the savory pies we devoured by my three sausages when I got home with them. They literally licked each disposable pie dish clean, so I'm going to say they were delicious and a huge hit. Onto the sweet! We loved their carrot cake frosting, I'd eat that alone with a large spoon every day. The carrot cake portion was very good however we all agreed it had a bit too much sweetened coconut flakes in it. In fact, we all LOVED the coconut cake but wished more of the sweetened coconut flakes were used in this one instead. The red velvet cake definitely is a winner and on par with some of the well known versions that other bakeries in this city are known for exclusively, their lemon cake was to die for! Soft yellow cake with a tender crumb with a perfect ratio of a lemon curd and a real vanilla buttercream filling, it was heaven. I have to say that their showstopper is really their valrhona chocolate cake!! Rich AND light at the same time, it hit all the orgasm spots. Stop in and support local small businesses!

I ordered a dozen specialty cupcakes for our friend's 60th birthday - I really needed these cupcakes to be OVER the top with color, glitter and lavish icing as our friend wanted the most flamboyant cupcakes ever.

Dry pie, decent brinks. I ordered the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pie and asked for it to be heated up. The crust was so dry, crumbly, and the inside was still lukewarm. I got a matcha latte with my order, and it was serviceable. Nothing special. I tried to sit down and work on my laptop, but there was no wifi and outlets that didn't charge. The chairs were uncomfortable, and it wasn't a very welcoming space. They really want you to go get your order in and get out. Won't be coming back. read more

Betty bakery is a cute, quaint spot with lots of offerings-- cupcakes, cookies, savory pies, cake slices and coffee/espresso. I purchased 6 cupcakes and a cookie and it was around $35. I was a bit put off by the price, since the cupcakes are relatively small -- but had purchased these items as a gift and am aware that the price of everything has gone up recently. There were several cupcake flavors to choose from- including strawberry frosted, red velvet, carrot, vanilla and chocolate. Once the cupcakes were brought home, we noticed that the frosting also acted as a filling for each cupcake-- whaaat! It was great to have the extra frosting to enjoy. read more

I got hustled by TikTok... again. The homemade "Twinkies" were awful. They were dry and last any real flavor.

Betty Bakery is a tiny place which nonetheless packs a tremendous amount of baking firepower. We bought all THREE (!!) different types of their apple pie, each of which was outstanding in its own way. Their cupcakes are excellent, with frosting different than any I've ever had: a perfect balance of sweet but not TOO sweet, creamy but delicate, not overpowering. Staff is super-friendly. read more

Good carrot cake but some of the rudest customer service i've ever experienced. Their desserts are not good enough for them to be this smug. Plenty of other good bakeries in Brooklyn, avoid this one. read more

Quite possibly the worst baked goods I've had in years . I'm taking time out while tired to make sure I write this review the same day I tried it since it left a bad taste in my mouth . Literally . After taking some time to choose and with the help of the female associate , I left with a confetti cookie along with a star shaped lemon cookie and some other very thin cookie. I also bought a slice of their old fashioned cake . Altogether , about 12 bucks . Not cheap at all . It sure tasted cheap though . The confetti cookie was inedible . Must have been stale as it was hard as a rock. Even if it weren't , the flavor was also lacking . I then moved on to the lemon cookie . Chew , chew ,chew , chew and finally hit that lemon flavoring . It was easily the worst lemon cookie I've had , texture was a lot better though and it wasn't stale than the confetti . The last cookie was that super thin cookie . Harder to mess this one up and this ended up being the best of the three but didn't really give me that cookie fix based off it's lack of depth . The last thing I had was the old fashioned cake . It resembled a pie and looked incredible on display . It turned out to be just flat out gross with a strong egg-y aftertaste . I even flipped it around to taste the crust to get a different perspective and was surprised even the crust was ruined with the eggy-ness . It was downright disgusting. This place is all about looks but no substance in regards to flavor from what I see . I'm writing this one off no refunds . read more

OMG I am beyond thrilled I ordered from Betty Bakery today! I am a huge quiche fan but starting today I am a Bacon, egg and cheese pie fan! The crust is flakey and buttery , the filling is firm and the bacon is smokey and very flavorful, fantastic!! I ordered the Shepherd's pie for my husband...Im not going to lie...the Shepherds pie will not make it home...because I cant stop eating it! Also very flavorful and mashed potato crust is perfection. The coconut ring ding...wow...it is a thing of beauty. Great chocolate on the outside, pillowy soft vanilla cake with coconut filling on the inside. I will he ordering often...maybe again today! read more

Incredible cupcakes and cake slices! I had to go to Brooklyn for fingerprints for student teaching and I wanted to grab something sweet before heading back home. Everything was delicious! I would highly recommend. The lady working the register was friendly and sweet! read more

Y'all. I first saw these five star reviews and thought, "no way. These people are lying." Bihhhhhhhhhhh no they aint! This food is PHENOMENAL. Rather, I should say the savory pies are phenomenal - I like them more than the sweets, which surprised me. So far, I've had the Shepherd's pie, the Brazilian chicken pie, and the Argentinian sofrito pie (do Argentinians even use sofrito? Feel like that's an AfroLatin thing? but I digress). EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE SAVORY PIES WAS FINGER LICKING GOOD. IDK who grandma MUST be chained up in the kitchen making these perfect shortcrust pies but baby....she doin her thang back there cuz these pies ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS taste delicious. As the pies are a handheld size, I am greedy and always order two. If I can't finish one, I wrap it up (loosely) in foil and heat in the oven on 400 for like 7 minutes (or until it feels hot) and they come out perfect every single time. The crust never dries out, never gets hard, and the filling still retains its deliciousness, even days later! IDK how they do it but I pray they never stop. They've made a repeat customer out of me! read more

Betty Bakery - a plate of cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

What an absolute disaster. Avoid at all cost. I'd leave no stars if Yelp would allow me. This establishment has just gone down hill over the last few years. I had ordered custom cakes here and the quality just got worse and worse as the price has just gone up and up. The neurotic emails from the owner trying to ask you to constantly "up" your budget to the lack of basic detail of their cakes is sad. You're essentially getting "off the rack" product as the cakes have gotten drier over the years and very little basic service for your order. When I asked why they hadn't written happy birthday on a birthday cake I had ordered, I was shown legal paper work that I signed essentially saying, sorry buddy, it's a done deal. A simple apology would have been enough. Go to Buttermilk Bake shop, lady bird bakery or many others around Brooklyn where you get, service, a good product, and a normal transaction. Betty Bakery is a disaster. They've given up a long time ago. Avoid, avoid avoid. read more

I ordered a custom cake for daughter's birthday, which was delicious and looked great, too. It had two tiers: chocolate cake with oreo filling and yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and strawberry jam. The bakery was easy to work with and able to accommodate my timeline and design preferences within a relatively short timeframe. I recommend them as a baker for a special event! read more

I placed an order for a customized cake for a baby shower for my cousin. The total was $400+ & I paid a deposit of $200+, I decided I wanted to pay the remaining balance the day of pickup. To start, this bakery never picks up their phone or return calls. I left numerous voicemails, stating my cousin went into labor prematurely. I contacted the bakery approx. (5) days before the event and left numerous calls to inform them that the baby shower might be canceled, requesting a callback. My cousin decided to continue with the baby shower. So I immediately called the bakery, and of course they never picked up the phone, I left a message and stated to disregard my prior message about canceling of the cake. And again, I never received a callback. Day of pickup: I called the bakery in the morning, and I was able to speak to a live person, and I asked if I could pick up the cake in the early afternoon - since the original pickup time was 11 am - the rep stated it wouldn't be an issue. I went to the bakery to get the cake & to pay my remaining balance, and there was no cake. The cashier stated there's no orders for any clients for this day. She never mentioned this over the phone when I called in the morning. The cashier/owner/baker couldn't find my invoice - and stated they have weekly meetings to discuss customers order and the baker Emily didn't mention my cake, so the staff wasn't aware of this order. It took them about 10-15min to find my invoice, which shows to me how disorganized they are. The owner Dekota and Sean aka (Zeke) was extremely apologetic due to their error, and said they would scramble something up, and put two cakes together & use someone else's decorations form another order. The owners said they would refund my deposit and deliver this new cake in person. Dekota did indeed deliver the cake and refunded my deposit in cash. He was extremely apologetic, and the cake was cute-tiny. It was nothing in comparison to the cake I initially ordered!! But at the time I was satisfied to have a "cake." We shook hands, and that was the end of that...So I thought... This baby shower had 100+ people, and everyone knew I was the one that was in charge of the cake. As my cousin is cutting...... the cake collapsed. The embarrassment I felt, I left to go to the restroom to relax my nerves...I walked back into the shower and heard people discussing how disgusting the cake was, omg. I decided to take a piece, and this is not me over exaggerating- this cake tasted spoiled, ugh!! 1 1/2 week later: Zeke (Head Baker) called/text me, requesting for a call back without giving any details to the nature of the call. I'm guessing he wanted to see how the cake was and to apologize again. At this point, I'm still distraught over this situation, and I didn't want to speak to him and wanted to forget this ever happened. He continue to send me a text, threatening to call the cops because I'm not responding to him. Again, there are no details for the nature of his call. I was never going to post a yelp about this situation until I received this text. Showed my mother the text, and she contacted the owner.... He stated that I was a thief trying to get a free cake, he was requesting for the refunded money that was given to me; due to the bakery error, to be returned to him. Zeke stated he just listened to the (1+week old voicemails) I left for the bakery. His reasoning behind this was his company was extremely busy during the week and he wasn't able to hear any of the messages on time.....THIS ISNT MY ISSUE!!! As my mother is trying to explain herself and correcting his lies, Zeke became aggressive/frustrated and told her to SHUTUP, and continue to say he will not lose in this situation and Betty Bakery will claim this as fraud to his insurance. But, isn't what he's doing fraudulent??? FYI, I have my invoice/bank statement and my phone records for all the times that I called this bakery. Please see images yelpers; I can't make this story up. #pettybakerZEKE read more

The cupcakes here are DIVINE! We managed to pop in before they closed the other day and grabbed a couple of cupcakes, and the curry vegetable savory pie. All three items were delicious! But the red velvet cupcake and the vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting were off the charts! The cake taste and texture was on point, and the frosting was light and yummy, but not too sweet. Most bakeries mess up with the frosting by making it super sugary. Not this bakery! They make the perfect cupcake! Next time, we're gonna try their cake slices and other savory pies! read more
