    Chicken Empanada.
    Emma G.

    Once I discovered that there was a bakery within 10 blocks of my job with Booty in the name, I had to investigate. I came by here on Thursday for a light lunch and to pick up some pastries for my co-workers. This involved an eventful walk down 8th Avenue highlighted by an SVU set nearby; I of course paused for a few minutes to try to find Mariska but was unsuccessful. Anyway. Not much of a negative, but I WAS a little surprised that that the back of the space wasn't as customer friendly - there's a lot of inventory stacked up, and it's kind of drab. And maybe that's partially because by definition, the front and exterior is VERY much not drab at all - as you'd expect, there's a lot of rainbow colors and cartoon depictions of a guy with his rump sticking out. When you have a theme, you have a theme. But if they have the ability, I'd recommend spiffing up the back area, because if it had been more hospitable I would have taken advantage of it. Since I was pretty hungry, I decided to get an empanada (initially I went with beef but the guy behind the counter recommended chicken since it was fresher and made that day - points for and against there. Appreciate the honesty and pivot (and it WAS fresh), but not great that there are not-fresh empanadas from the prior day prominently displayed. Random food trucks around the city shouldn't have a noticeable edge on a bakery. The empanada was tasty and flavorful, but for the price was actually pretty expensive, and I say that as someone who's grown pretty desensitized to NYC prices. It cost about $5 and I got literally three bites out of it. It should be at least 50% bigger than it is. I also got a guava turnover, which was decent as well. Guava is one of my faves and to me a very underrated filling/flavor, so I'm always glad to see it getting its due. The top of the turnover had sugar granules on it (also something I tend to like for both texture and taste reasons), but it was a little too much - it made the pastry too sugary which I know is a strange complaint for someone who knowingly walked into a bakery. The cupcakes and cookies I got were warmly received by my colleagues and demolished within an hour or two (I got a variety of each), so that's also another positive. I had a hunk of the M&M cookie on my way back, which was slightly undercooked, just the way I liked it. The gentleman who assisted me was perfectly nice (and the chicken empanada recommend is a big selling point) and offered up suggestions on the best options for the variety pack we collated. My only real issue is he didn't provide disclaimers about the bag fees - he offered to put everything in a bag (because why wouldn't you?) only for me to find out when I got rung up that I was charged $0.25 per bag. Now, that's not going to break me but that's more of a principal thing. Tell people when you're assessing additional charges for the choices they're making. Left a bad taste in my mouth that the guava wasn't able to totally fix. I'm probably not coming back here for a big order, nor for an actual meal (even a light one, since I ended up having to buy an emergency hot dog on my way back to the office to fill me up a little more). A random pastry on my travels through Chelsea? Sure. But I think there are better price points out there, strange as that is to say in this inflationary environment. Cool name though.

    So rude, unbelievable!

    1 star, less if possible. As longtime customers of Big Booty Bread Co., my friend and I were deeply shocked and disappointed by the treatment we received during our recent visit. We've always appreciated the café for celebrating Latin American culture--but ironically, we were met with hostility simply for speaking Spanish. When my friend placed our order in Spanish, the woman behind the counter immediately shouted, "I don't speak Spanish," and became aggressively rude. She threw our order on the counter and continued yelling at us, creating an incredibly uncomfortable atmosphere. The situation escalated as we were leaving, when she loudly--and falsely--accused us of using a slur, in front of another customer who witnessed the entire thing and was visibly stunned. We left feeling humiliated and completely unwelcome. It's appalling to be treated this way, especially in a business that claims to celebrate Latin American heritage. No one should face aggression for speaking their native language. I sincerely hope the management addresses this woman unacceptable behavior and ensures all customers are treated with respect. P.S. I'll miss the "cortado" and the delicious "pan de bono" but luckily there are other places with better service.

    Stopped by Big Booty Bread and tried the red velvet cookie--absolutely delicious and worth the $5. The bakery has a great selection of pastries, drinks, and desserts, so there's definitely something for everyone. Cozy spot and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

    I've had this place on my list for a while, and am very happy I came out this time! I came here to try the cheese rock or pan de yuca - so chewy and savory. Staff was incredibly friendly and patient, and I will definitely be returning to try some other Columbian pastries!

Warmed my heart!! Check them out! So much to choose from look for yourself! && the pastries were so damn good soft chewy sweet didn't feel gf to me. Enjoy!

    Cute little shop in the heart of Chelsea. Tried the cookie cupcake but was not a fan. Frosting was overly heavy and hard. I liked the concept of it, but I guess the frosting did not consider the extra sweetness from the cookie itself.

    I was able to get three cupcakes at a discounted price. The cupcakes were delicious. However they are too expensive. I'd give this place 4 stars if they were cheaper. Hard to justify their price tag imo. They are good but nothing special.

    Big bootie bakery seemed like a gimmicky joke every time I would pass by it and see the funny sign but then I decided to try it. On my first visit I got a chocolate marshmallow cupcake. The cupcake was disappointing as the chocolate part was dry and lacking flavor. My opinion changed after my 2nd visit when I tried their guava pastry, it was flaky and stuffed with delicious guava. After that my friend and I have returned many times and my absolute favorite is the chocolate brownie. The brownie is absolute perfection, it's so good that I can myself getting a big bootie/belly since it's so addicting.

    The empanada broke apart. The taste was off. The muffin was ok. It was on par with a grocery store muffin. The food is like airplane food.

The brother- sister duo running the shop are some of the sweetest people I have ever met! I noticed one comment mentioning they were copying another shop but this is a bakery with many types and variations of desserts and is not a copy of anyone's shop. You can get inspiration from many places or just try to meet the needs of different clientele by varying your product, and I believe that's where the mini cupcakes came into play in this scenario. In any event, my mom loves the vanilla cake with the chocolate icing. My mom would want to ride up to the shop after her visit to MSK and as a treat to herself wanted a slice of cake, but not any cake. A slice from Buttercup Bake Shop. And it had to be the vanilla with chocolate frosting. This was soo soothing to her. So when I went and saw their huge selection I was amused at all they had to offer. I can't wait to try their hummingbird cake. I tried their brookie and warmed with some ice cream (specifically cherry vanilla) it was soo good. This is a grab and go shop so there aren't any chairs available but that doesn't take away from the experience at all. It's narrow but packed with options to choose from and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Remember when this was one of Carrie's hangouts on "Sex & the City"? That exposure triggered nearly 70 locations worldwide. Jamie W and I were back in the neighborhood after a tipple at Julius'. I have to admit I never understood the appeal of the cupcakes. However, I had never tried their banana pudding before, and I liked how you can grab a readymade carton from the fridge and pay for it right away. Meanwhile, a lot of self-absorbed women were crowded around the cupcake display waiting for their little boxes. We took our stash across the street to the mostly deserted playground.. Ah, so the pudding was the draw all along. We grabbed two, the $6.25 Chocolate Peanut Butter (Photo 5) and the $5.75 Classic Banana (Photo 4). They both have lighter-than-expected whipped cream and sliced bananas. Of course the classic layers Nilla vanilla wafers, while the other applies Oreo cookie crumbles and chocolate chunks. No complaints about either, though the classic still wins. FOOD - 4 stars..indulgent treats, aren't they? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...still packed after all these years, purely takeout SERVICE - 4 stars...for the pudding yes but for cupcakes, it's a sea of estrogen TOTAL - 4 stars...forget the cupcakes!

I loved how it was creamy, light, and cohesive. It was a small shop for grab and go, and it was early in the day, so there was no wait. Staff were friendly.
