I go here a lot for the empanadas- have tried them all and they were all fresh and tasty. Have sampled some of the sweets and they were good too. Had a really good Dulce de leche napoleon. Took a star off- was considering two- because service can be painfully slow sometimes. They do that thing where one person waits on customers and another might be washing dishes or something and no matter how many people come in, the person wiping down the counter or washing a dish won't set that aside to help assist customers and speed things along. read more

I was looking for great cookies and happened to see this place. They were closed, but as I was about to leave, the owner walked up and asked if we wanted to buy anything. If I could give them 10 stars I would. This place is great! The cookies were amazing, and they had paleo options. #paleo read more

Grabbed a quickie before a movie across the street. Yummy, soft, hand-sized empanada filled with potatoes and veggies and a side of hot sauce (or chimichurri). Then grabbed an oatmeal cookie to go -- soft and cinnamon-y and delicious! Cute little bright shop with some seating. read more

Big Booty Bread - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

They have a lot of great things to grab-and-go. The Guava Booty Bun and the Cinnamon Bun were okay. We tried the Salted Caramel S'mores Cupcake, but it was super dry. There was also no graham cracker. We did love that they had some Paleo options, though! read more

The name says it all! Staff was extremely friendly. They have everything from bread to cupcakes. Had a hard time deciding what to get- everything looked so good! Ended up picking a cupcake and I was not disappointed! read more

This place was a god send. I was super hungry and on my way to a conference so I searched for gluten free options within walking distance and they came up. I ordered a cookie and one of their rolls stuffed with cheese. I was pleasantly surprised when i took a bite into the roll and it was warm and flavorful. I wish I had ordered two. I believe it also had bacon bits which gave it the extra wow factor. For the two items, it was about $8.50-9 which is pricey but I'm willing to pay based on the quality of food. I wish I had taken a picture but I was too busy enjoying every bite. read more

Such a cute tongue in cheek place! Inside, it's a Latinx-inspired bakery with delicious baked goods and coffees. I had the signature "booty bun", which had a little less filling than I expected, but honestly the bread was baked so well it was still delicious. There are a few small tables and a washroom in the back, but nothing fancy. Overall would definitely return next time I'm in the area! read more

lovely baked goods and super good service- even with one woman running the show. super recommend the guava turnovers and the cinnamon bun.

If you are paleo this is great! It is so hard to find paleo desserts. I had the chocolate chip banana muffin and chocolate chip muffin. You would never know it is paleo! I am so excited to have found a bakery with paleo options. Great find!!! read more

I will never spend another dime at this place. The customer service is horrible! The guy that works at the register is incredibly rude and inattentive. As I was placing my order another customer walked in and instead of completing my order this rude staff member immediately started joking around and proceeding to take the other customers order! The guy also didn't even wait for me to finish paying he quickly left the register and assisted the other guy without offering me a proper receipt! read more

Delicious food. I have the blonde brownie and my boyfriend had a fudge brownie. Fun atmosphere! We got there right at closing, and the staff was very kind to us. Would definitely come again to try something else. read more

Walked by here many times. I saw a sign that caught my attention. They had vegan empanadas. I decided to try one. The attendant was courteous. The empanadas are kept warm and come with a sauce. The vegan one is filled with veggies. It was just ok. The dough was thick and gooey. The filling was just ok as well. I haven't tried their pastries so I can't comment on those. Most things look very appealingly. I will go back to try some of their pastries. read more

Big Booty Bread - Vegan empanada - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

The only reason I'm giving this 4 instead of 5 stars is because I haven't tried everything. Friendly, attentive staff. Friendly welcoming place. Everything looks so yummy, I need to come back soon. I ordered the fudge brownie but the guy gave me the cheesecake one by accident. Oh well. So I had the cheesecake brownie & it was... WOW. I don't want to exaggerate & say this was the best brownie I've ever had, but it comes pretty damn close. They're moist, thick, chewy, everything you want in a brownie. I didn't really get any cheesecake flavor but it was still good. Craving more as I write this review :( read more

A great little bakery in a decent location. I love the storefront, which is decorated with desserts. The name of this place is quite interesting. I got the coconut brownie and giant meringues. Both were delicious. There is an amazing, large assortment of desserts to choose from. The location is near other restaurants, places to eat, and hotels. If you're ever in the area, I definitely would recommend checking this place out and buying a dessert to go. By the way, I went here during winter of 2016, but I would definitely go again if I go back to that area. read more

What is the world coming to? Mister Darcy is reviewing a Big Booty? Yes, but after overcoming prejudices and swallowing some pride! It is true. I was guilty of judging a book by its cover. In my defense, how could a dessert connoisseur take a bakery named "Big Booty" seriously? As you all know, I hold my calories to a very high standard, and so while I did show up at the door of the bakery earlier in the year, one look at the logo and the oversized booty, was enough to convince me to turn around and walk away. The first I became aware of the popularity of Big Booty, was around the time a tireless attempt was made by a close yelp friend to determine the best Red Velvet cupcake in the city. She had declared Big Booty as the winner, which piqued my curiosity. But as Red Velvet was not MY battle, and the gentleman in me was never going to step up to steal the spotlight, I desisted from raising my hand and saying: "Excuse me, but I disagree." However, enough water has passed under the bridge, and I have tried their Red Velvet Cupcake many a times, to now comment on it. I completely agree that their version is ONE of the better ones in the city: small size, moist and tender cake, and real cream cheese frosting (even though somewhat greasy at times, and I prefer it to be sweeter). My bigger issue, though, is that the top of the cupcake is often hard, leading to a crunchier texture. I have also tried their other cupcakes: carrot (excellent cake with white cream cheese frosting) and Dulce de leche (yellow butter cream frosting and marginal caramel filling inside). It's good that they don't have too much variety, for that would just confuse the heck out of guys trying to impress their girlfriends. On three separate occasions, I have heard a guy say, "I'll take the one with the white frosting. What is it called?" (!!!) The shop's signature product was intended to be the Booty Buns, essentially a sweet bread roll with stuffing inside. The bun's outer crust is covered with sugar crystals that give it an interesting crunchy texture, but the fillings (nutella, guava, strawberry) were inadequate for my liking. I've also tried their cookies and the Triple Chocolate one that I was fortunate to have straight from the oven, was quite good. I am sure there were three different chocolates in the chips, but I could clearly taste only two. While their Cappuccino has disappointed me, I must mention that the service is attentive, friendly, and indulgent in explaining things to you. Truly, top notch! At their advice, I have tried and thoroughly enjoyed the Flan, and the Tres Leches Cake. True to their Latin American roots, both of these are executed perfectly, with the Tres Leches almost a pudding cake, and much lighter than their other cakes (German Chocolate and Coconut). The Flan to me is a solid 5 stars, one that I recommend wholeheartedly, much more so than the popular rice pudding (apparently supervised by the owner's Mom). In fact, I am getting addicted to some cold flan for breakfast on Sunday mornings :) I was amused by the attention to detail that has gone into making the product marketable for the Chelsea neighborhood. The, er, well proportioned Big Booty logo is part of it, as is the layout of the shop that provides ample seating at the rear (!!) The owner, one hears used to be a banker at Wall Street, till he realized Big Booty as his Calling and changed careers. He has indeed worked his booty off in making it stand apart from the nearby generic competition, boringly named: Burgers and Cupcakes. The booty jokes obviously come with the turf but this is a well managed bakery, where fresh is the operative word. read more

Let me start this one by saying, I start em ALL off with five. It's up to them to hold on to em. I'm not a trendy kinda kat so, that whole cupcake thang that had people upset a minute ago, did not move me in the least. In fact it kinda confused me... I'm saying, it's not like they brand new. It's a ma-fuckin cupcake. They been around forever. Had em back in tha day, on the regular, in grade school, at class party's and what-not. Ok, maybe what I'm about to say might clear a few things up. I'm probably the wrong person to write this review. And no doubt I'm gonna be labeled a weirdo after I say this. (tho I'm sure more then a few of you already think this of me). None the less, my problem might be that I've never been a big deserts person in general. Food, Meat, Fish, Sauce, Vegetables, Starches, Gravy, Oh hell yeah! That's me all the way. If the food is bangin I'm all about seconds with a quickness, way more-so then having desert. Matter-fact, there ain't but two deserts that I give serious attention to anyway. 1. My lady's from the Philippines and makes the bomb Halo-Halo. So good It taste carnal. To me the name even sounds kinda Sexy. "Come here Gurl. Im'a eat yo Halo-Halo till you drool Baybee. 2. My mom's makes the BEST sweat potato pie I ever tasted. Those are the only deserts that I'll go outta my way and save room for. Other then that I can actually do without sweats. So bakery's seldom get in my pockets. Yet I kept hearing about this Big Booty Bread Company and the name alone had me curious. It kinda sounds like one of those tongue twisters that people challenge you to say five times fast hoping to trip you up. BigBootyBread, BigBootyBread, BigBootyBread, BigBootyBread, BigBooty, see-not one slip! Along with that, there is the whole brutha's into Big Booties myth. (These next lines should be read in a DMX voice with a swizz beatz beat behind it). "WHAT! Here we go again!!! It ain't a myth! AIIGHT All y'all that got Bootie know just what I'm talking about. Dweena's smiling and snapping her fingers right not, saying, I heard that! So yeah Big Booty was on my radar but only as a faint blip....blip....blip. Cause like I told y'all, I'm not a desert kinda kat. But as fate would have it, one day a client needed me to stop by and go over a project. So I jumped on the subway, got off at 23rd and was strolling up the block when there it was...Big Booty. Could not stop, had to handle business first. So I dropped in on the client, answered all the question, belayed any concerns, got the project then bounced. Making my way back towards the subway with Big Booty on my mind. Standing outside looking thru the window, I don't know why but I imagined a larger place. Not that its tiny, but in my minds eye when I envisioned it, Big Booty was...well...Bigger. I went in and there was a guy behind the counter. That was mistake number one. The owner missed a classic opportunity. With a name like that he should'a hired, not one but two Sista's, a couple of Pinay's, and a Latina or two in order to properly represent his company's moniker. But no...this mutha fucka got some dude behind the counter. The count is down to 4 stars. When ever we have a busy week I like to get something for my team. My way of saying thanks for their hard work and effort. So I buy em lunch or bring em cheese cake from Reading Market or like today, I load up on Big Booty. Here is the 411 There's nothing welcoming or cheery about the folks that wait on you at Big Booty. In any other type of business I could understand this but... A-Yo! We talking about ma-fuckin cupcakes so there is no excuse.. High priced cupcakes in fact. Y'all should be some happy-ass, pleasant-big teeth smiling on the regular, every time someone walks thru your door type kats. Instead y'all looking like someone just shot your dog. Next, counter dude did not even offer a hello. Not a greeting at all in fact. And when I said hi, he mumbled a weak, "can I help you. I got an assortment of Booty Buns, a dozen Cupcakes and some Empanadas for my crew. Dropped a nice little piece of money in the spot. Counter dude did not even offer a thank you. Instead hustled off to help the next customer. I grab my bag and bounced. Count is down to 3 stars. Got back to work and unload the baked goods in our kitchen. Folks come thru to sample the goods. I grabbed a few things on my way back to my desk. Red Velvet Cupcake. Good, Not dry, the frosting was tasty and not overly rich. But I'm not drugged. The Booty Buns. I had apple....well allegedly. There way more bun then apple. I was not feeling it. Empanadas. In a word, empty. The ones I had from Borough Market in London blow these away. Big Booty Bread Company, gets 2 stars. Done read more

At the very least, there are 2 things to rave about here. And oh the rave...I can't even move beyond them, and I have been back 3 times in the 3 weeks...I can't walk by this place without going in for: (1) EMPANANDAS - to die for. True Argentine style. I lived in Argentina, these are the real deal. No matter that the owners are Chilean, clearly they know the value of a really fabulous Argentine-style empanada. They are "de horno" which means they are baked rather than fried - which in my opinion is a thousand times better. The chicken is unreal, the carne picada - amazing too. And don't miss the homemade hot sauce. Oh lordy...I am salivating as I write this. (2) CCCs (duh - chocolate chip cookies) - quite possibly even more earth-shattering than the empanandas?? I don't want to sound cocky, but I do believe I am something of a C.C.Cookie connoisseur. I bake them at home. I have a secret recipe. I've tried nearly every "amazing CCC" in NYC. These might be the best. The texture is perfect, the cookie to chocolate ratio is excellent, and the flavor (real vanilla and butter) is full to bursting. This is the cookie to try. It's worth every penny and you'll devour every crumb. read more

So I had to go here, because one of my friends bought me one of their t-shirts with the image of the guy with the large behind. (They were making fun of my own large behind). :( Anyway, I was curious, and ventured over) Regardless, I was excited because dang do I love a good red velvet cupcake, and they are supposed to have killer ones. So I have two experiences. One pretty great, and one pretty annoying. The pretty good one: I called this joint a day before I had to have a cake for one of my bro's bday gatherings. I was on cake duty and procrastinated. Oops! Anyway, as it turns out, it is hard to order a cake in Manhattan for the day before, even if it is just a cake they have in house and squiggle a bday message on it. I was not being picky about the style of cake at all. But Big Booty came to the rescue as they were able to have a cake ready the next day with a bday greeting. So, many thanks for that. The pretty annoying experience: I went in with my buddy Rick and we were looking to take a break and sit down for a second with a baked item and beverage. When we got there in the middle of the afternoon, we ordered our delicious baked goods. But then we went to order our iced chai lattes and they refused to make them. They claimed that they were "out of chai" even though they opened the fridge and we saw a couple containers in there! Then, we went to sit down, and he told us he had to run an errand and we weren't allowed to sit because they were closing (uh hello! its the middle of the afternoon!). So we left---without our chai and without our mid afternoon break. We wound up just standing outside the door for a few minutes as we caught up and ate our baked goods (mine a really awesome cinammon roll, granted). After a maybe 15 minute gab (Rick had enough time to talk about his entire road trip through latin america), I went back in the store to throw away our bags and the dude was still behind the corner---no errand to run---just apparently didn't want us to sit in his Big Booty establishment. So Big Booty, you have such delicious items, but why did you have to deny us your chai and chairs?? read more

Big Booty Blah...my cheese bun tasted like ASS. The cookies are dry, the coffee is stale, and the service just sucks. I refuse to believe that this hell-hole put the nextdoor Krispy Kreme outta business. Normally, I'm a fan of Big Booties...but to you I say, "No mas." We are not friends. read more

First of all I would like to apologize to the staff (1 male and 1 female) for coming in last Friday and interrupting their all so ever important private conversation. I walk in with my big booty (yes I have a phatty), and there were 2 employees sitting by the register just talking away. There was only 1 other customer who had already been served and was sitting at a table. I walk up to them thinking I would at least get an acknowledgment and felt that I, although the patron, should have just stood there waiting for them to finish. I walked back over to the selections thinking one of them would pause to assist (that didn't happen). I walked back over to them again and finally they had a break in their conversation where someone could help me. While the cookies were decent, I'll stick to places that acknowledge me and offer friendlier service upon my arrival. New York has too many places to spend my money at. #ThatIsAll read more

I just had a red velvet cupcake from the Big Booty Bread Co and it was REALLY GOOD. Small enough to finish in just a few bites, and the cream cheese frosting isn't overwhelmingly sweet. Giving Billy's a run for their money... *UPDATE* It isn't digesting very well. The small unassumingingly rich cupcake needs a lot of water to help it go down... read more

The aroma coming from the bakery is absolutely mouth watering. It caught me by surprise and I used my nose to follow the smell into the bakery. The bakery is cute , clean and full of little cakes/deserts. The staff was friendly , helpful , and very knowledgeable of the product . read more

One of my new favorite places to get my red velvet cupcake fix! Better than Crumbs, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and Magnolia's any day. Pros: -The cream cheese frosting is extra creamy, light, and not overly sweet. -The cake stump is moist and tasty. -The size of the cupcake is just right! Not disgustingly ginormous. About the size of a standard cupcake you make at home in those store-bought cupcake pans. Cons: -Price: $2.50 for 1 cupcake. P.S. Right now they have cute mini candy heart confetti sprinkled on top for Valentine's Day. Would make an extra cute and tasty gift for your Valentine! :-) read more

Lies! After all the times I've came here I did not get a big booty instead I've walked out with tummy aches and disappointment. Am I the only one in nyc that doesn't like big booty? A bunch of my friends are big booty crazy! They bought the big booty T-shirt and have a little big booty song. God! How many more times do I have to hear about big booty's steaming buns and sweet sweet cupcakes!!! Anywho, ima tell you why big booty sucks in my opinion. The two guys that work there are two antisocial assholes! I have never seen 'em smile once or have been greeted or spoken to. I walk in tell 'em what I want they get/make it and hand it to me with the receipt, I pay get my change and leave. That's how it usually goes down at big bootys. I've had the empanadas, they're good but kinda salty and use the hot sauce, its yummy^.^ I've had the big chocolate chip cookie which looked really good but where hard and stale. The croissant is passable and the sandwiches were blah! the passion fruit smoothie was disgusting! I've even had they're famous red velvet cupcakes which was good, not crazy, orgasmic, I'ma punch my momma good just eh good. The other cupcakes are good too but I wouldn't recommend. a few minutes after I'm done eating *rumble rumble roar!* oh no!!!! Tummy ache! I have an iron stomach that never gets tummy aches or get sick even if I eat the strangest most disgusting food combo but for some reason I ALWAYS end up with a horrible tummy ache. And all of this only happens to me:\ oh well! I don't need you big booty! So go move that big ass of yours somewhere else. read more

HELLO BIG BOOTY! this place rules -- i was on my way to the dentist when i came across this bakery and lucky for me, i stopped in and brought home bags filled with deliciousness. the owner is really great and really helpful with awesome recommendations -- on my first visit i got a "fusion chocolate chip cookie" which has dark, milk and semi-sweet chunks of chocolate inside and the dulce de leche napoleon (or heaven in a pastry) as i like to call it. over the next 4 days i indulged in these sweet treats and they were well worth it -- as i savored each bite and attempted to figure out how these baked good were so delicious. on my next visit to the dentist, i of course made a special stop at Big Booty and this time picked up a dulce de leche cupcake -- "yummy" is all i have to say. unfortunately, i don't go to the dentist that often but will be making it out to Chelsea more frequently so i can get some delicious baked goods from Big Booty -- and i'm happy to report, all of my induling has not created a "Big Booty" :) read more

OH-EM-GEE!!! Where have you been all my life...quite possibly the best red velvet cupcake I've ever had. Actually, that's an overstatement cause I haven't sampled many red velvets in my lifetime. But who cares, it's just a minor technicality. I was shopping for a cupcake place near work to celebrate my cousin's way overdue bday, when I turned to the only place I know....YELP. Thank you so very much. I noticed most cupcake places were all really far from my workplace and was losing hope when I stumbled across a review for Big Booty. Everyone was raving about the red velvet cupcake and that was exactly what I was lookin for. With fingers crossed (hoping they didn't sell out on the little pieces of heaven) I made my way after work. Upon arrival, I rejoiced at the sight of just out of the oven entire tray of red velvets. I ordered 4 cakes and the guy behind the counter gently picked out 4 ginormous ones out of the bunch. What a sweetheart!!! I also got a piece of the bread pudding (eh...it was mediocre at best). After walking several blocks and a bumpy bus ride across the Hudson, my little bundles of joy arrived home for devouring. Forget singing happy birthday or blowing out candles, the three of us stood around the kitchen counter as we dove into our cupcakes. Can I get a YumYum? A wha wha? We just stood there with smiles across our face and our dog licking icing off our paws. Hmmm...is icing bad for dogs?? Hey, life's short...eat cake. I know I will. read more

DELICIOUS!! this is a cute little latin bakery and sandwich shop. the smell alone makes me salivate excessively. and the booty buns.. MMmmm get the one with nutella. I thought nutella was great in crepes. but my oh MY!! MMMM!!! i've only tried the sweet stuff.. but the paninis look amazing too.. booty booty bun bun booty booty bun.. mmmm.. so gooooood oh. and it's cheap! yay! read more

I went in to get a coffee and was happy to see some Columbian faves like Arepas and Bunuelos. But the guy behind the counter was so rude and nasty when I asked if there was a restroom, I will never go back. At first he said there wasn't one, then he said it was for employees only. Then 5 minutes later I watched some regular customer go use it. Hope my Counter Friend finds another job soon, working alone cleaning public toilets. At Port Authority, read more

So cute I love the name, true to it's moniker this place will give you a big booty if you are not careful. I wanted everything the minute I walked in the door but I had to give myself reason to come back so I settled on one of the ginormous cookies filled with different varieties of chocolate, very delicious. Can't wait to get in there and try the dulce de leche turnover and the wonderful freshly baked breads. I have heard so much about the red velvet cupcake so next trip I will check this off my list, check back for the update. read more

My husband and I were walking around the neighborhood and were struck with a sweets craving. Minutes later, we passed right by this place and walked in. We shared a double chocolate brownie, which was incredibly delicious - not too bitter, not too sweet. The seating area in the back is cute and comfortable. My only downside was the staff - they were helpful, but not very friendly. They just seemed rushed and not really interested in helping us. Also, they had a big mixer that was going (mixing icing for cupcakes), so we had to repeat ourselves numerous times. All in all, I'd probably come here again, but only if I was in the neighborhood already. read more

After the name and logo caught my eye, I researched Big Booty online a little, and every review I saw raved about the red velvet cupcakes. After a few days, I couldn't get them out of my head, so I decided to go check them out on a lunch break. I ordered the red velvet cupcake to see for myself what all the hype was about, and got an iced coffee too (it was sweltering out). I sipped the coffee on the way back to my office and it hit the spot. I ate my lunch and patiently saved the cupcake for a mid-afternoon treat. As soon as I bit into it, though, I understood all the hype. The cupcake itself was moist, delicious...but the real winner is the frosting. I've never tasted cream cheese frosting like this! Sweet, excellent cream cheese flavor, and not too stiff or dried out. At $2.50, it's a little small for the price, but the flavor makes it well worth the buy. I savored every bite and will frequent Big Booty. The dolce de leche cake looked excellent, but something tells me the red velvet will always be my fave. read more

Was attracted here by the wafting smells of the baked goods and the S'mores Cookie staring at me through the window. It was love at first sight. As I walked in, a stack of Fudge Brownie Bars vied for my affections. Despite the predicament I faced, in my heart, I knew that S'mores Cookie was the one. Although I was outrageously full, I still forked out $3 for this monstrous delight and devoured it within the next 15 minutes as I strolled down the Highline. The not too soft, crispy texture, generous amount of chocolate chips and the hints of marshmallows, was just heavenly. It wasn't overly sweet(thank god) at all! My intuition was right: S'mores Cookie is the one. I CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK HERE FOR ANOTHER S'MORES COOKIE AGAIN!!!!! read more

Best damn cupcakes ever. They're so good, my job ordered TONS of mini cupcakes for an event we just held, and everyone was raving about them. I want to marry these cupcakes, and have little sweet dollops of frosting for children. They're SO moist, the frosting SO sweet and good.. Yeah, I'm exaggerating. But they are awesome. Please try the red velvet. There isn't much room in the establishment, as there are regulars that come and stay for a while, but that's the only drawback. read more

Every day, for a week now, I've tried to fight the urge to blow $2.95. This is the cost of just one of Big Booty's Triple Chocolate Cookies. I have failed, each day, and have spent $11.80 so far... and it's only Thursday. It's a bit pricey but I can't stop. Almost every time I've gone in, they were fresh out of the oven.( a little before noon) Do you know how delicious, a fresh oven baked cookie is?... Let me describe it.The dough is warm and moist, throughout. Then when you finally bite into a chocolate chunk, the sticky chocolate melts in your mouth. "Melting in your mouth" being the most overused cliche about chocolate, ever. But when it happens... Amazing! It's like eating delicious gooey velvet. The place is a typical cute old fashioned bakery. The service is friendly. My only qualm is the price but I guess $2.95 is the cost of amazing. read more

I had high hopes.. The cupcakes look fantastic. I decided to try the chocolate banana bread and a homemade hot chocolate. The bread seemed a little stale and I did not like the hot cocoa.. Slightly disappointed as I was so pumped to try. Hopefully I can try cupcakes/other sweets and redeem this cute spot. read more

Big Booty Bread - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Gluten free yummies!!! I'm so pleased that I came in and asked if they had anything gf. They had a nice little assortment of treats, and not just cookies! It's really sad to have a gluten allergy and not be able to enjoy interesting bread things once in awhile. I tried their yucca flour cheesy bun thing and it was amazing! You'd enjoy it even if you can eat gluten! I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and plan on trying all of their gf things before I give birth ;)! read more

as someone who lives in constant fear of having a big booty, not too sure about the naming of this place. But WOW the cupcakes sure take away my healthy skepticism! This is the best place in the city for unique cupcakes. Don't go in here and get boring vanilla, chocolate or red velvet (the white zinfandel of cupcakes). Instead, opt for the more exotic dulce de leche or pumpkin goods. The Dulche de leche is out of this world! Fluffy cake with creamy frosting swirled on top, and, surprise! a chunk of caramel nestled in the bottom. yay big booty! read more

inconsistent quality - just not worth it. Grabbed a peanut butter cup cookie on saturday afternoon and was super amazed at how good it was. So much so that I decided to buy over $130 worth of goodies for a co-workers birthday celebration. I bought an assortment of cookies, cupcakes, and brownies and took them to the office that same afternoon. Wow.. so disappointed. Everything was dried out, I assume from sitting in the bakery way to long. Cookies were hard as a rock, brownies were so dry they crumbled apart and the cupcakes were devoid of any moisture. Don't bother buying from here, especially with so many other (and better) choices that are so close by read more

I had what is apparently the best red velvet cupcake in New York. I don't know that I'd call it the BEST, but it was pretty darn good...except more of a 3.75 rating. I could have actually had it a little bigger (I like big cupcakes, and hello, with a name like Big Booty Bread I'd expect something BIG), but I like that they are made with beets instead of red food coloring. However, because the cupcake was small, it made the frosting-to-cake ratio quite fantastic. The rest of the baked goods looked good, but I can't remember what they were anymore. So I guess not memorable. read more

If there's one thing that makes me giggle, it's the title "Booty Buns." If there's one thing that makes me salivate, it's huge slabs of bread pudding, arroz con leche, and giant, oblong chocolate chip cookies that look like no other choco chippies around. Despite all of the drooling, I was able to quell my nerves and settle on a corn arepa the size of a 45 disc. It was thin, crispy/chewy on the outside and oh-so-velvety the closer I got to the center; in essence, it was a disk of cornbread, and some of the best cornbread I've ever had. I can't wait to go back to try their other arepas, and they seem to do a pretty mean guava jelly sandwich. I'm not a big fan of cupcakes, so I might avoid those, but them Booty Buns better watch out. read more
