I passed cuccio's today, 1/9/12 and sadly it is no more. it has been gutted and is now just a memory. The old lady who opened it with her husband 70 years ago recently died. Her bakery outlived her by about a year. she was always sitting in the same corner with her big oldfashioned hair do covered in hair spray. I will miss them. . read more

I don't know what half the things I buy are called but they are delicious every time. I definitely want one of their giant turkey shaped breads for thanksgiving! read more

I was there yesterday to buy cream buns & jelly buns. The buns (donuts)themselves were not good. The cream tasted like vanilla pudding and there was hardly any jelly in the jelly buns. I will not be going back. Tasty Pastry on 13th Avenue makes awesome buns . read more

Delicious bakery cookies (especially the fudge gingerbread men!!!), cheesecake, and fresh baked bread

Amazing rainbow cookies, donuts/strudels, and chocolate covered pretzels. They are a cash only establishment, so come prepared. This is the perfect neighborhood bakery and I have to fight myself from buying myself something every time I pass by because the smell alone is intoxicating. read more

You gotta love CUCCIO's This is one of the adopted institutions that I aquired when I got married. During my courtship my future mother-in-law would buy heaps of goodies from here, numerous in fact that for a three years I do not think I had one of the same items. I would not say any one thing is earth shattering but this place makes a lot of thing (and I mean a lot ) really really well. But now that I am married I barely get a thing from this place - except on holidays. Like I said everything is great - try anything read more

this is the last of the bakeries that still exist from my wife's childhood, she has been eating sweets from here since she was a wee one, she would sneak across the street from the avenue X library, great semolina bread, good solid italian pasteries, the classic's cannoli, napoleon's, baba rum, and all the cookies regina biscuits, pignoli, rainbow, my wife's favorite treat in summer is the burnt almond ices, man is that good, Sadly not wheelchair accessible read more

Tried some of their pastries including Rom baba, some of them were ok, but rom baba tasted terrible. I've never seen burned rom baba before in my life, it was so bad that I will never buy from them again:/ read more

This bakery is amazing! Best rainbow cookies! Delicious jelly buns, linzer cookies, and more. Can't wait to try the mocha almond cake next time... highly recommend coming for a visit. Heads up: cash only. read more

This is an instituition in my neighborhood. Everyone I have spoke to says it's good and it's been around for a good long time and now I know why. I picked up a dozen jelly donuts because I had guests coming over last weekend and they were a hit. read more

Two words: Jelly - Donuts. I grew up eating these donuts on special occasions and when I returned to Brooklyn they became a family favorite for my children. In addition, the freshly baked bread is so good, that some of my kids prefer a soft, warm piece of bread to a donut. Absolutely worth going out of your way for. read more

The best seeded twist in NYC! The donuts are amazing too. Whenever I am invited to friends or family this place is my go to spot when I'm bringing bread or donuts over. read more

I have been getting my cookies from them for years when I lived in Brooklyn. I moved to Wrestchester and whenever I visit someone in Brooklyn I always stop to pick upi desserts for the people I visit from Cuccios. The best and freshest in Brooklyn read more

This place is incredible, we've been a few times. Recently bought a red velvet cake for an office Bday which received rave reviews have had a few pastries and the bread is to die for. Everything is incredible affordable. So happy to have found this neighborhood gem, can't wait to go again and try something sinful and delicious, keep up the great work!!!! read more

I came home from Brooklyn with 2 loaves of seeded bread from Cuccios!!! It was amazing

One of the hidden gems of Gravesend Brooklyn everything here is so yummy just don't forget to stop by the ATM they only accept cash.

The pound cake was so good that I cried while I prayed to God this place never goes out of business. The cheesecake is to die for and the chocolate cupcakes are moist and delicious. Seriously amazing pastries read more

Great Brooklyn bakery. Simple and the best.

This is an old fashioned bakery which serves up the best donuts,danishes and even cannollis. Will be there soon,get a ramp!

What can one simply say about cuccio's, greatest rainbow and lace cookies around and the chocolate covered cannoli, forget about it. Hands down the best bakery in BK. read more

Janet @ Cuccio's was amazing! We ordered our wedding cake there -- red velvet & whip cream -- & it was a big hit with our guests. The cake was fresh & delicious. Thank you Janet! read more

I purchased buns here yesterday after hearing so many good things. Well, the buns were horribly stale. Not just "not fresh", but hard as a rock stale. They were not even edible and the icing on the poppy seed buns fell right off. I called up to complain and whoever I spoke to said she would wrap them better for me next time I come. I sad "um never again" and this was more than simply not being wrapped well enough. She assured me that old buns are thrown out before closing. I said this was about 3pm, and there was no way these buns were put out that morning. Instead of offering to reimburse my money she she said she didnt know what to say, but that they would never leave stale buns out. I live 5 minutes away from the amazing Tasty Bakery. I'll stick with them for now on where everything is always fresh. read more

WOW--------can't believe I found Cuccio's on the web. Lived in Beach Haven for 30 years. Cuccio's was the only bakery for my family. Sure do miss the Jelly Doughnuts and Challah and everything else the store had to offer. I can smell that delicious aroma even though we now live Upstate. I miss Brooklyn and Cuccio's.

I been buying cakes from this place for a while. One especially today. The last few times the cakes have been dry , stale , and disgusting. I been told my the girls working there that the cakes were fresh when in reality they were old. Not only were the cakes disgusting, the attitudes and personality of the girls behind the counter were not plesent at all. I won't be going back to this bakery and I do not recommend it to anyone. read more

Chocolate mousse cake was decent. Strawberry short cake i did not get to try but was told that it was way too sweet and "disgusting". Ive never purchased a cake that was called disgusting before. read more

I had a terrible experience today. I bought 2lbs of cookies that were prepackaged and i barely walked right out the door before i changed my mind. I wanted to buy something that was more expensive so i come right back in. The girl who sold me the cookies not even a minute before went to get a guy in the back who came out yelling at me. I was able to exchange the cookies for a cake that was almost 20 dollars more but this was a horrible experience ill never go here again. The customer service and workers here are very unprofessional read more

I don't go here too often because I would leave with way too many goodies! This is a fabulous, well-known, brooklyn bakery. They have great things which include rolls, canolies, cookies, cake, ices, etc... read more

I ordered a cake for my two-year-old's birthday party and gave very specific details for the cake. I've been coming here for a year now and many times we come from work nearby to order things. It didn't bother me so much that they messed up the cake in terms of the red and white flowers, but the attitude of the Baker who didn't even take my order to begin with, was disgusting. After an argument, the original Baker who did take my order came out and admitted that she made a mistake with the details. That's all I wanted. They have great baked goods and amazing cake but if you can't get a custom order right at least have the decency or dignity to admit your mistake. In the end I paid 62 for a 12 inch cake because you can't have a birthday party without cake. read more

absolutely my favorite place for any authentic Brooklyn desert. stopped in here randomly after a trip to Coney Island for a Cannoli and ended up taking home 6 plus a lot of cookies. absolute worth the trip from downtown Brooklyn! Everytime an out-of-towner visits I always take them here! read more

Years ago, my family frequented Cuccio's, weekly. My parents always picked up a dozen buns on Sunday mornings. Neighborhood bakeries are vanishing and it's nice to see Cuccio's is still open. I tend to bake at home, and no longer live near Cuccio's. It's been at least 20 yrs since I've visited the bakery and did so, recently, out of nostalgia. I ordered a dozen buns, which I truly enjoyed with my morning coffee, and the price was wonderfully reasonable. It brought back so many memories. I had to smile at previous comments regarding staff personalities. For some reason, the girls behind the counter always seem to have an unnecessary attitude. I was surprised that a debit or credit card is not accepted. I use my debit card for everything, so I would appreciate this convenience in the future. Overall, if you're going to buy bakery goods in this area, I would recommend Cuccio's. (If you're seeking authentic Italian pastries, however, go to Villabate-Alba on 18th Ave.) read more

I get small pastries from here all the time. They are bite size and can be shared. I totally recommend this place to anyone.

The store owner should consider their unprofessional and rude sellers.The service that they provided last Friday were very terrible and especially the one saleswoman. Her attitude didn't match the respect the customers. Before that I went to this store for many years and I had no problems with the sellers in this store and always liked their service. read more

This bakery is by far one of my favorite bakery's. There CRUMBCAKES are to die for. Every time I pass by I make sure that I buy some. I love these pastries so much that I make such a long journey just to get here. I defiantly recommend this bakery ! read more

The breads, particularly the toasty sesame twists, are fantastic. Great crust, great chew. Tempted by the pastries and coming back!

perfect cookies,cakes etc. but kinda smelly area to have a bakery but buisness is good.but they usually dont have those funny cakes, kid cakes,so there not that nieborhood friendly but they have good italian cakes. read more

used to buy cheesecakes from here when i was a kid. pretty good stuff, although its years later and my palate has developed now i need to taste it again before i really review it. will go back since its in the neighborhood, and i am always up for sweets. read more

had a very untasty, soggy, cold canolli today that makes me regret every single calories, come on really, its an italian bakery.

FINALLY...FAMILY is back at Cuccio's Bakery! I went in last week because my neighbor told me when she was in the day before she was served by the friendliest, mature (not only in age but over all personality), courteous woman. Just on a hunch she asked the server if she were 'related' because she look very Italian and suspiciously like Dame Tina who ran the store front forever until she past. The answer was not surprising - YES! Her name is Deb and she said she is first cousin to the present owner, niece to the generation before. GREAT JOB, CUCCIO's! you've brought back an original! (let's hope she stays and her professional etiquette rubs off on everyone else). By the way she placed my donuts in the box - not 'tossed' them AND she lined them up perfectly AND put the frosted ones on top (so not to get smeared by the weight of the others over them, AND covered them with a wax paper so when we opened the box at home the chocolate boston cream donuts were not disgustingly smeared across the inner top of the box! Now that says customer service!!! read more
