    Hot cross bun
    Christine L.

    Came by for pastries and coffee on a Saturday afternoon. They had an Easter special of hot cross buns which were alright. Also tried some almond bread which was okay too. Good amount of seating though!

    We walked in after dinner for dessert. They have plenty of seating and the place was basically empty on a weekday. I ordered the lemon meringue which was good and on the sweeter side. My friend got the creme brulee, which was not good. I would only come back if I was in the neighborhood and needed a casual spot to sit/hangout after dinner.

    Eggs Florentine Brunch

    I loved how cozy the atmosphere was at Cousin John's! My mom and I came here for Sunday brunch, and we both agreed it reminded us of my college town with the way the restaurant was set up. We sat at a the counter, but there were also a lot of tables. The servers were great and got our food out to us super quick! We both got the eggs florentine- one of their brunch specials on the weekends. It was delicious, and everything I needed in a breakfast. The croissant was fresh and flakey and paired well with the poached eggs, hollaindaise, and sautéed spinach. My mom got the breakfast potatoes and I got the salad. I loved the flavor of the breakfast potatoes. Usually I dip them in ketchups but I didn't feel like they needed it with the flavor from the tomatoes, peppers, and onions they were cooked with. I will definitely come back to Cousin John's cafe and bakery. It's the perfect place to get brunch with family and friends.

    Have to agree with all the reviews regarding poor customer service. Staff seem like they couldn't have cared less about customer satisfaction. The manner and approach leave much more to be desired. Customer requests are sourly accommodated. There is no care with handling merchandise. It's just dessert, but when you're paying market price for anything, you expect some level of service. The overall experience is off putting. What a shame, considering how the desserts are worth returning for. The baked goodies are delicious--chocolate eclairs, pies, cakes, pastries--everything is high quality and reliably tasty. Not too sweet either, which is important. The cakes and pies are on a sweeter side, but pastries are more decadent and balanced in flavor. Lovely decor in the winter--it's a pleasure to enjoy dinning indoors.

    Key lime mousse pie
    Jahnavi U.

    I can't believe it's been 11 years since I've been to this bakery again. Time flies. My husband and I stopped by this bakery last night to pick up some desserts. I'm always in the mood for something sweet...24/7. They had display cases with scrumptious cookies, cakes, pie-like desserts, tarts and creme brulee. I bought a blueberry tart for hubby and a key lime mousse pie for me. We both enjoyed our desserts very much. I would definitely buy desserts from this place again next time I'm in the area. The desserts were reasonably priced. The service was excellent. The staff behind the counter were helpful and professional.

    Chocolate mousse sheet cake for 100
    Adam G.

    I had a party for my wife 65th birthday and her retirement on Sunday. On Friday we found out that the people who were supposed to provide the case weren't going to be able to win (that's another review). Call up Cousin Johns on Friday and told them we needed a sheet cake for 100 for Sunday afternoon. The answer? No problem! They made an absolutely gorgeous cake that was also totally delicious. I think it's the best sheet cake I've ever had a party like that. They put two beautiful pictures that we had in fondant on the cake. When I called to pick up, they said, would you like us to write something too and they added at the last minute at the last minute, no problem no extra cost. Thanks for making a special day perfect!

    A must place to visit! Scrumptious food! Great service! Wonderful ambience! The owner is very hospitable Breakfast and Lunch!! The best potato salad ever amazing chicken salad and the eggs Florentine on a delicious buttery croissant was amazing. We could not leave without buying a few pies and cookies .

    Had to wait around in the area before driving someone home. It was around 7p. Searched for a pastry and tea kind of place. So glad I found this charming spot. Amazing home baked goods and coffee and tea selections. They also have a diner type menu for meals. Very cozy chill spot. Wish something like this was where I live. Friendly low key staff. Clean. A good amount of seating Definitely worth seeking out.

    Some items are good and some are really dry. The brownie had no moistness and it was super dry. Seems like their quality is declining over time

    The pastries are always good. I have been going there 30 years. The first was for a birthday cake for my 7 year old daughter.

    Radio Bakery - Earl gray morning bun

    Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

    I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
