Such a cute and small bakery. Unfortunately they were sold out of a lot of pastries around noon on friday. However they had some scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam left. This was a super super delicious pastry. Honestly the best biscuit I've ever had and the ratios were perfect.

Raspberry cookie and hazelnut sable

Got my ass to Dumbo at 11:45 AM on a Friday after years of wanting to visit this bakery (they have very limited days/hours and I am almost never in the area). I got the following: + Pistachio cake - excellent, so fluffy + Coffee roll cake - good, great crunch + Chocolate chip cookie - the best thing I had - this is the sleeper hit + Hazelnut sable - good + Raspberry cookie - excellent The gentleman at the counter was also super friendly. 5 stars for that chocolate chip cookie alone!!

scone

This is really a hidden gem! The pastries & desserts here are really high quality. They were as good as the ones I have eaten in Japan. I came a bit later (after 1pm) and many things were sold out. I got the scone, sweet potato pie, and coffee roll. They were all so delicious! The scone was nice & savory. Sweet potato pie was so delicious - the sweet potato filling was so heavenly & the crust was flakey. LOOOOVEE the coffee roll very much! It had so much different taste & textures: creamy, crunchy, sweet & savory. Staff was very friendly and nice.

Delicious mont blanc! Highly recommended
Sandra S.

Bought a few pastries & brought it back home to eat. The pastries were far more beautiful than the photos I took - pastries got battered/smushed in the bag. We ordered to try: 1)Mont Blanc, 2) Coffee roll cake, 3) Sweet Potato Pie, 4) some Pear cake, 5) Scone (that had black pepper, scallion & cheddar cheese). Mont Blanc - WOW! Super delicious & had the right amount of sweetness. One of the best Mont Blanc I had in NYC so far. Loved the different textures, especially the bottom part (I think it was a coconut meringue). I would reorder this again! Coffee roll cake - Also another WOW! This cake was so delicious with the right amount of sweetness. You taste the coffee, crunchiness from the nut part & cream. I really enjoyed this item & I would reorder this next time again! Sweet potato pie - Super delicious as well! The sweet potato filling was splendid. The pie crust was also savory & flakey. I also would reorder this! Pear cake - I forgot the name of this but it was like a creamy pear flavored cake. It was super soft, creamy & not too sweet. Scone (black pepper, scallion, cheddar cheese) - Loved this scone very much! Super savory & soft. I also would reorder this! Staff was very nice & friendly. The pastries are high quality. I wish I knew about this place earlier. This place is really a hidden gem!

HIDDEN GEM I discovered this spot on social media and it did not disappoint. Burrow is a tiny Japanese bakery in Brooklyn hidden in an office building. Their store front isn't street facing so you have to enter a building and walk into the lobby to see it, very unassuming. Don't be deterred by their small selection, everything is very good. A couple ahead of us ordered nearly one of everything because they don't come in very often, so that was a good sign! We ended up getting a slice of their seasonal cherry blossom cake, a biscotti, and a hazelnut shortbread cookie. By the time we paid and left, the little shop had filled up with people and new baked goods were being brought out. Seems like they just make stuff throughout the day and put it out as it's ready, seems pretty neat and clearly very fresh! Everything tasted great!

Strawberry Pistachio Cake, Quiche, Gateau Basque Custard
Ruby C.

True hidden gem in Brooklyn. They only open from 10am to 2pm on weekdays. When I had an unexpected day-off on Tue, I knew it was a sign to visit Burrow. Their store is located inside a commercial building, so it took me awhile to figure out where the entrance was. *Quiche Forgot what were the fillings... it should be loaded with chicken, bell pepper and spinach. The savory egg custard was incredibly soft and jiggly. The quiche was packed full of bright veggie and herbal flavors. I was disappointed by most of the quiches served in other bakeries, but this one was exceptionally yum. *Gateau Basque Custard My fav pastries out of the three. I thanked myself for picking this simple but divine pastry over other fancy-looking ones. Their tart crust slayed with its flakiness. The almond custard fillings were encased in the buttery dough. Silky, nutty and (most importantly) not too sweet. *Strawberry Pistachio Cake I witnessed the cakes sold out within an hour during my stay at Burrow. Coated with whipped cream and a thin layer of jelly-like strawberry jam. The strawberry mousse was bursted with fresh and naturally sweet flavor. You could clearly distinguish there wasn't much added sugar in this piece. The pistachio sponge cake was fluffy, yet the flavor was bland and overpowered by the strawberry mousse. My Recommendations: Everything Worth Returning ? YES DEFINITELY

It's almost impossible to make it to @burr0w because they have the weirdest hours and only on weekdays! I'm so glad I finally got to visit on Good Friday though. Their pastries are delicious and remind me of both Taiwan and Japan! So authentic. The mocha biscuit and caramel butter cream of the coffee cake was amazing! Matcha cake was great as well!

olive oil ginger cake

The pumpkin cake was indeed worth. The Asian grandpa running the bakery was also adorable.

Assorted desserts box
Hsin-Yi W.

Burrow is recommended by one of our friends who is super picky about pastries. We placed an order on Monday and did curbside pickup at assigned time on Wednesday. There is currently no weekend time slot available for pickup. We had their assorted dessert box with 8 different kinds, Almond croissant and curry granola. Their pastries and desserts are delicate and delicious. Our favorites were the Canele from the box and the almond croissant. The texture of their canele was soft and creamy and the layer was crunchy. The almond croissant was extremely tasty especially after being toasted in the oven. We will definitely visit again and try their other options on the menu.

Inside

Lovely small cafe hidden behind a bldg lobby, with rotating array of savory and sweet treats, alongside a pretty impressive selection of drinks, including some great Japanese offerings. The buckwheat tea is delicious. The savory food items are more rare, but have been delicious and made with care. The gentleman typically at the front is warm, kind and patient.

Chocolate baton
Clarissa R.

Where has this bakery been all my life! Loved the almond croissant so much! I don't know what magic was used, but it tasted like two pastries in one. Had laminated dough, but then also a scone-like topping - mind blown. The muffin was short and adorable...for the muffin top lovers out there (Seinfeld reference, anyone?). The strawberries made the muffin a little wet for my preference, but it tasted good. The chocolate batons came out fresh and piping hot. Loved the invention--kinda like a dessert spring roll (or lumpia)... had chocolate and pastry dough inside? Yum. Would have loved to try everything they had, especially the savory pastries. Hope to come back to try more!

Good spot for a coffee and pastry...tucked away, lives up to its name. Nice little counter, no real seating.

Cookies and hazelnut cake were so exquisite. Perfectly for an afternoon sweet to pick up before our walk to the neighboring park.

My friends and I randomly stumbled upon this bakery while looking for a sweet treat, and we were so…read morepleasantly surprised! The espresso was delicious and made with love. They had the viral fruit pastries we've been seeing everywhere, and they were just as good as they look, fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. The bakery itself is so cute. It has the coziest, charming vibe with beautiful displays and such a welcoming atmosphere. You can tell a lot of love goes into the space. And the woman who helped my friends was sooo sweet and kind, which made the experience even better. Great treats and great service! we'll definitely be back!

Having dinner during rush-hour, it was busy, but the line was moving…read more I am on the hunt to find the best chocolate croissant in New York City, and although it may not have been the best croissant, I love the variety they have mini ones, raspberry pistachio, chantilly, Nutella and so many other pastries. I personally loved the mini one because sometimes I'd be eating too many croissants and I was able to eat this one guilt free. As well there was a decent amount of chocolate for a miniature, sometimes I don't even get that amount of chocolate in a regular size chocolate croissant. This location is right by Times Square and it's pretty large. There's a second floor where it's a bit of a loft and you can overlook down to the first floor. It's really cute. I also love the teal color they have for the bakery as well. If you're looking for a quick pastry bite, this is a good spot.

I am not a birthday cake person. Never really have been. I will take a slice to be polite and move…read moreon, but I have never been the guy who gets excited about cake. Salswee changed that. My wife got me a birthday cake from Salswee and I ate the whole thing. Not out of obligation. Not to be nice. Because it was genuinely that good. The cake was light in a way that most cakes are not. Fluffy texture, almost delicate, nothing dense or heavy about it. Inside there were mango pieces throughout and the top was finished with sliced fresh mango and a cream frosting that did not overpower anything. Every component worked together without any one element taking over. What got me most was how I felt after eating it. You know that heavy, bloated feeling you get after a slice of traditional birthday cake? That did not happen here. I finished the whole cake and felt completely fine. That alone says something about what they are working with. If you are in the area and you want something that actually delivers on flavor without wrecking you afterward, Salswee is absolutely worth trying. One of the best birthday cakes I have ever had and I did not even think I liked birthday cake.

I'm not the biggest desserts person, so I fully expected to be underwhelmed by these desserts…read more Especially because I feel like everyone always says it's overhyped. I just wanted to try it for the novelty, but I actually loved these so much! It is on the pricier side, but it was nice for a big group of us to just share a bunch and get like a bite from each. It is really hard to split because they're so delicate, but we managed. I personally liked the blueberry the best, but the pear and mango were also really delicious. They really captured the natural flavor of all the fruits!

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

There is a french person out there scoffing at me right now, because this was probably my all time…read morefavorite pain au chocolat I've ever had. Supermoon prides itself on unique pastries, and unique pastries they must have! Think cornflake cookies, dan dan danishes, and banana pudding cruffins. Inside is almost like walking in a museum, stony interior with a display of single pastries acting as a menu. I ended up with a twice baked espresso brownie pain au chocolat. The layers were so crunchy and flaky, and the chocolate interior was so decadent. I honestly would have finished that entire hand sized pastry in one sitting had I not had mac and cheese earlier. The espresso brownie pieces on top tasted like actual fudge brownie pieces, and not those wimpy little pieces you find in ice cream. The cardamom cream, I will admit, did not mesh well with me. Personal opinion, Im not a cardamom and chocolate person. However, separately, that was the move. Plenty of creamy cardamom taste throughout. They do offer gelato and drinks as well. But definitely looking towards visiting them again to try their rotational menu!

Ordered: Traditional Croissant (~$6)…read morePassionfruit Curd Doughnut (~$7): fried and filled with passionfruit curd then rolled in sugar Banana Pudding Cruffin (~$10): dual-filled with fresh home-made banana pudding and banana caramel and then topped with a Swiss meringue buttercream bulb and Nilla wafers Aya's take: The last time I was at Supermoon was around the year they opened and I remember it being tremendous - to the point where if you see my previous review, I went two days in a row! We were in the area and granted it was 8:30pm (most specialty bakeries don't even stay open this late) so we decided to grab some pastries. Their Traditional Croissant apparently takes 3 days to make and uses Isigny Sainte-Mère French butter. It's pretty mild in flavor with a strong, crisp exterior. It has the layers but isn't as flaky as other croissants I've had. Now I'm a sucker for banana pastries! I was entirely thrown off with the Banana Pudding Cruffin as I expected it to be creamy and sweet but instead it was a bit tart and acidic (likely from lemon) which I was not expecting. It didn't meet the mark for me. The Passionfruit Curd Doughnut was way more doughy than expected but the passionfruit curd inside was silky, sweet and tangy. I'm not sure if it was a matter of freshness and coming early in the day is the move or if the quality has diminished over the years. I really hope it's not the latter as this is still a spot I recommend to people. This experience was a 3.5/5 (rounding up for the review); maybe it was an off day but the flavors just didn't hit the same this time.
