Love Brooklyn Bread Cafe in Carroll Gardens! Best BALT's in the neighborhood. Love their muffins and juice drinks too.

Absolutely delicious sandwich options. They have a huge variety. Personal favorite is def the Peter Luger, just wasn't expecting the flavor to mesh as well as it does! Went in there thinking it'd be a regular deli, but it way surpasses that! read more

Just had the southwest salad, it was awesome. The presentation was lovely, and salad was delicious. Big enough for 2 meals or 2 to share. I think all their salads are great! read more

I placed an order at 1:30pm and I canceled it at 3:30pm because it never arrived and I never heard from them. Never again!

The sandwich was good, but honestly not super memorable - it has only been a few days and I've already forgotten what was in it. I got the Bond St. which was eggs, a sausage patty, melted cheddar, and hot honey sauce. I got it delivered and by the time it arrived, some of the sandwich was totally soggy (but one of the halves was still great), I think because of the honey. It had a decent flavor profile with the sweet and spicy, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. I'd be open to trying something else here though! read more

I really enjoy their bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and avocado. Always toast 'em. The bagel is so easy to bite into. And those simple ingredients just go so well together. The price is also decent for what you get. It's just disappointing sometimes when they don't have certain ingredients that are supposed to be on the menu. They didn't have egg salad when I went the last time, and another time when I went with a friend, they didn't have some other ingredient (which I forgot because it was my friend's order). read more

They're back! You may have known Brooklyn Bread as a small, hole in the wall, cash only, bread joint in Carroll Gardens. Well, the game has changed - I'm a great way! Brooklyn Bread moved a few doors down to get a much larger space and some real outdoor seating. I'm the process they stepped YP their menu and technology to boot! You'll find a ton of great pastries, bread items, frittatas, açaí bowls and healthy fruit options. Oh, did I forget about their "famous" brick oven bagels? Not a typical NYC bagel, but in a good way. Their bagels are light and airy with the perfect crunch (when toasted, as I recommend) and won't bog you down like most other NY bagels. I'd also highly recommend stretching for a frittata sandwich (3 eggs, cheddar & sausage will be just fine, thank you). While it's still nice outside you can order and have them bring you things to the umbrella tables out on the patio or eat in the ample indoor seating. Service was prompt and accurate. Big bonus for now taking cards and .... drum roll... Apple Pay! I'll certainly be back for some breakfast indulgence- now only if they were in the way to the subway from my house. read more

My go to sandwich shop! Tommy Blue eyes is my favorite! Super fast delivery. Everything I have ever ordered there has always been great

Must be the most daft service ever. Always get orders wrong. Bad attitude and high prices.

Beware a little cash register scam! Ask for a receipt. It's a busy place and it's an affluent crowd and after they order, the cashier quotes the amount and they pay it. I heard the woman say 30 dollars to the couple in front of me -- not cheap for a bagel store! -- and then she said 30 to me. I asked her for the receipt and the amount was 28.00. Of course 2.00 isn't a big deal overall but I when I asked her if they just round up and throw out whatever number they want, she said yes. Skimming off hundreds of orders a day? Where is that cash going? I will let management know but NOT COOL. read more

great chicken cutlets. Great bread Fast service. Not cheap on toppings. place is great

Love the food and service here. Everything is always fresh. Service is also fast. Workers are always accommodating and willing to always make sure your food is what you want. read more

Ordered the Bond St bagel for delivery which comes with eggs, the cheese of your choice, a sausage patty and mike's hot honey. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches i've ever had! I love the combination of the sweet and spicy mike's honey with the eggs and sausage. It was also ginormous and extremely filling. The bagel isn't like your typical bagel, it is almost croissant like and very hearty. I also tried the home fries which were okay but nothing to write home about. They were just very under seasoned but a good texture otherwise. read more

This review is based on their bagels only. Family member brought home some "bagels" from here, but they are NOT bagels. These are basically bread rolls with seeds on them. Pretty pitiful and disappointing. Just bc you shape it like a bagel, does not make it a bagel. read more

Hands down the best bagels and sandwiches I've ever had. I love that they have a lot of options on their menu and their vegetarian sandwiches. Always my go-to simple & refreshing breakfast/brunch store. read more

Shocker. Not open. I walk in at exactly 7am. Chairs are up. Nobody's at the counter. Guy comes out and said we're not open yet. I look at the the time. When do you open? He responds, like in 10-15 minutes. ‍ this place has terrible workers. Continues to disappoint read more

Covid-19 recommendations could be better enforced. Too many customers are closer than 6ft. The business should make the effort to encourage customers to stay "at least" 6ft apart. Updated 7-22 The business has taken steps to better enforce Covid-19 etiquette. I am pleased that the response was swift. We want to support our local business but we also want to ensure our safety as well. Thank you Lenny for your quick response! read more

Coffee is ok, liked it better when they used D'Amico. Last time I went in ordered a scouped-out whole wheat everything, toasted with cream cheese, but when I got to the office I had a whole wheat roll with cream cheese, untoasted. Reading other reviews I see they claim the too is a bagel. If it's not boiled, and is light and airy, it's a roll. Very unhappy. read more

Arrogant / out of touch model w/ pretty good food. (1) they charged $2.50 to add roasted peppers to a $10 sandwich-- do the math; (2) no one wants table service-- order at counter and serve to table isn't only a better choice, but would demonstrate they aren't completely out of touch w/ their customers; and (3) staff needs better communication-- customers shouldn't have to lean over the counter and put their ear in a staff member's mouth to hear them say that roasted red peppers are $2.50, or that if you're dining in, you need to sit down and deal with another staff member you can't hear. Otherwise, great sandwiches! Do better! read more

About a year ago BBC overhauled their menu and offerings and it has been a regular in my lunch rotation ever since. They have lots more healthy offerings (salads, açaí bowls, vegetarian wraps, etc) which we really needed in the area and they are always kind and welcoming. read more

I had never seen or heard of a chocolate bagel until I had one at this place. How divine! Their other bagels and pastries, especially the cheese danishes, are fresh and delish as well. I was happily surprised by the extensive sandwich menu, too. More upscale combos and ingredients than a deli, but without the pretense and prices of a gourmet cafe. Perhaps most importantly, Brooklyn Bread is a CLEAN and BRIGHT space, which is refreshing. With the high turnover here, I get the feeling that nothing lasts longer than a day. A++ read more

I love their sandwiches, they have great selection to pick from. Their pretty pricey but it's worth it. Honestly the cashier can be a bit nicer, the place is clean I haven't tried their cookies yet that's because I always get full from their sandwiches. So lastly whenever I'm in nyc I will stop in read more

This place is very clean. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I tried the spicy tuna on a garlic bagel and it was by far one of the best bagels I've had. The bagels are not too thick and just the perfect size. They have so many options from bagels and sandwiches to freshly baked goods and fresh juices. You must give it a try. read more

I stop often and in all honesty, I have yet to find a fault. The sandwiches are delicious and the combinations used in their signature "top 20"s are amazing. The service is also outstanding, always friendly and understanding of my allergy-specific requirements. I recommend a visit if not just for the food then for the experience, pick up my personal favourite, the Buffalo Chick and sit in their oasis-like patio for a peaceful lunch in the middle of the city that never sleeps. read more

Good sandwiches, plenty of cookies to choose from and they have açaí bowls. No complaints here.

Mmm!!! I love bagels and I had an amazing lightly toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese that just melted in my mouth! I love that the bagel was toasted jusssssst right. I also had a delicious iced latte and took the parfait and delicious chocolate chip cookie to go! The outdoor area is so cute and perfect to sit and relax for a few minutes... Def a must try! read more

Lenny M- the food sucked. It is what is is. I sincerely doubt that bread that tasted the way it did was baked fresh that morning. If you think that's a lie, I don't know what to tell you. The bottom line is that I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Update: Brooklyn Bread Cafe has moved down the block (now at 412 Court St.) to a bigger space with outdoor seating available. Took my daughter for breakfast. She wanted a cinnamon raisin bagel but they don't make raisin bagels. What kind of bagel shop doesn't make cinnamon raisin bagels!?!?!!! So disappointed! :-( The cashier said they do make chocolate bagels. I didn't see anything that looked like a chocolate bagel & didn't know what would go well with it- butter?, cream cheese?, either with jelly? None of those sound good but I got her a chocolate bagel with cream cheese & jelly hoping she'd like it. Turns out it's Not a chocolate bagel but a chocolate chip bagel. There's a Big difference! That's the same nonsense as calling a chocolate chip muffin a chocolate muffin! Know what you're selling people! If i all for a chocolate muffin, I want a Chocolate muffin, NOT chocolate chip! (Sorry for the tirade but many places do this & it irks me! Okay, back on track now...) The cream cheese & jelly seemed to do the trick. There is plenty of seating now & the couch is comfy. There are also counters. read more

Great sandwiches, terrible açaí bowls. My partner and I come here regularly and order the Mary B hero and split it, it's our fave. But I ordered an açaí bowl today which was a mistake. The base is just icicle shards. I brought it up with the staff and they made it right by offering a refund, which I appreciated. read more

Yeah I don't think that's the case Lenny, cuz I ordered the same exact thing right now got rung up by the same girl and what I ordered is back to the price it was... so....... read more

The chocolate chip, S'mores, and Oreo cheesecake cookies, which I had on three separate occasions are NOT gooey at all. All were pretty dry.

It's been a mixed bag and I feel bad for giving them so many chances, but out of laziness and love of bagels I've gone back. Service has been great or rude. The bagels are lighter and not traditional, and they have no shame in serving a bagel the doesn't live up to its babe (like an Everything bagel that's more like a Few Things bagel. See photos). The shmears are usually skimpy (better today). Hold out for better. It's out there. Plenty. I mean it's New York, we're supposed to have bagels down. read more

Delivery review; Great spot for a yummy BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese). Super filling and tasted very fresh. Ordered in a snowstorm and when it arrived, it was still pretty warm. Good experience. read more

So a vendor just dropped off a couple bags of bagels to the office. Said "best bagels in Brooklyn!" Eh. I'm going to have to disagree with that statement. The bagels are really bread-y. They don't even taste like bagels to me. I mean, they don't even have that slightly hardened shell that leads way to a chewy center. These 'bagels' were more like rolls or even a bialy. Hey, if that's your thing - then that's cool, do you! But I was disappointed w/ these 'bagels.' I did get pumped when someone said there was a 'french toast bagel' in the bag. My excitement didn't last long though. This not your typical French toast bagel. I was expecting a true bagel with cinnamon sugar baked in...not a flattened roll w/ a swirl of cinnamon goo running through it. Eh. read more

I took one look at BBC's enormous bagels and pretty much wrote them off immediately. I'm a purist: I like my bagels boiled and these are not. I was fearing the worst: a glorified roll with a hole in the middle. Wrong!!! I don't know how they do it, but the whole grain everything (my "usual") had all the good aspects of a bagel (get it toasted. I love lots of everything on my bagel and there was just the right amount of everything on this one) and none of the bad (somehow I managed to eat the entire thing without feeling like I just dropped a carb bomb in my gut). They have all kinds of cream cheeses and tofu cream cheeses (I like olive). Service was really nice, despite the fact that there was a line out the door. Coffee could have been better, but that's my only gripe and I'm notoriously hard to please in that regard. I usually give up all hope if it's not a top notch coffeehouse anyway. The bagels (and tempting breads/muffins) are all you need concentrate on anyway. read more

Picked up lunch at Brooklyn Bread Cafe on Sunday afternoon. This shop is all about the bread, so make sure to select the specialty roll with whatever you order. Quality: Brooklyn Bread Cafe is a bakery and sandwich shop located in Brooklyn. On Sunday afternoon we ordered two sandwiches. The first was the Ii Paderino Hero, an Italian sub stuffed with prosciutto, hot soppressata, provolone, mozzarella, balsamic, olive oil, and mesclun. I could have used a bit more balsamic and maybe some peppers for some hot and sweet, but still a delicious sandwich. Where I missed out on that sandwich however was by not going with an Artesian Roll. Because even though the Apple Crudo with prosciutto, brie, apple, arugula, olive oil, and balsamic was not as fun, the bread itself lifted the sandwich up. Quantity: The Hero is significantly larger, but you don't want to miss out on the Artesian Roll. Value: $13 for the Ii Padreino Hero. $9 for the Apple Crudo Artesian Roll. Ambiance: Brooklyn Bread Cafe is located in the Carroll Gardens area of Brooklyn. In a quaint residential area, it sits on the main street. The shop is quite big with the large ordering area and seating both inside and out. Unfortunately with COVID, it was a grab and go situation, but I easily could imagine enjoying a coffee and a sandwich sitting in the outdoor garden area. Crowd: Always a flow of people, but never too busy. A couple of folks ordering take-out during my visit. Service: Fast and friendly service. Parking: Decent street parking in the area, just watch the signs. read more
