Rainbow Cookies
Peter D.

I'm not going to waste your time here: Cuccio's has the best rainbow cookies I've ever had. You may know them as tricolore (which would be incorrect because there are at least five colors on these things - maybe that's the secret). You may be skeptical. You may not even like Italian cookies; I don't, usually. But these are the truth. My neighbor knows a thing or two about a thing or two, and he brought these over to my place once...now every time I head down the Belt Parkway, I'm either getting these cookies, or thinking about getting these cookies. You should too. The sfogliatella are also awesome.

Great old school bakery, pastries are fresh and there is a wide selection of regular and mini size items. Only down side is that the place is cash only. Tried the chocolate cannoli, regular cannoli, lobster tail, and cheese cake slice. All were excellent.

Outside... legend.

I think I just found the best Italian bakery in New York City, and it is in the backyard of where I spent a good portion of my childhood. Hard to believe, I know. But here it is. Only a five minute walk from the Avenue X subway stop on the F train, Cuccio's might just be, "The One". All the bakery items have that deep, delicious taste, and a size of all their pastry items for all appetites, whether you like things small or large, decadent or rich, they have it. It will be hard to order just one item here. The rainbow cookies? Yep, they sell them, and they are terrific. The lobster tail? With French cream? You bet. Fruit tart? That is a bit dense, but the fruit is so fresh and beautifully layered, that they make the whole thing a mouthwatering experience. Even their black and white cookie is delicious. How about a jelly donut bursting with jelly? There are not many bakeries that do not anymore, but this one does! The girls who service you are cute and smart. They are patient and have that Brooklyn decisiveness they would make any future mother in-law squirm. Telling, huh? As for payment, cash only. Again, cash only. You have been warned... twice. I think it will be hard to top this one. I hope you will agree if you stop by.

Local mom and pop bakery in the forgotten part of Brooklyn, Cuccio's a no frills sweet shop that have everything for everyone. Place has been around since 1937 and it kinda shows, but that's the charm. You know what else is charming? The crazy 7-layer rainbow cookie! They're pretty good and so beautiful! Serious question though: at what point do you stop calling them a cookie and say they're cake?? They're essentially a cake that have been cut up into bits so you can hold between your fingers but hey, if they've always been called a cookie then carry on and shove em down my greedy mouth! Whenever I stop by an Italian bakery, I would always get two important items: the colorful morsels (rainbow cookie/cake) and the pignoli cookies (hello pine nut heaven). I walked away with those two bad boys as well as a few other things for the family and the price is just right. If I didn't live so far away I would surely be handing fistful of cash every weekend for their decadent desserts!

Very friendly and helpful workers . Cash only! The pastries are fresh . Cheesecake was creamy and not too sweet

French bread with seeds

I come to this bakery often as it is a block away from my house. It's honestly a hit or miss. It use to be your friendly neighborhood bakery, but now it feel a little impersonal. I mostly come for the bread that is very fresh but tends to sell out quickly. I dont feel like they make enough during the day. The service is ok Nothing to rave about. I dont think they are nice or rude. Just kind of do their job and take the next customer. They have been open throughout the pandemic and I give them a lot of credit for that. And they are trying their best to enforce social distancing and masks.

Picked up a couple of cakes last night for my motherS birthday today. Opened up the box today to celebrate and saw mold on one of the strawberries. We have been Cuccios customers since 2000 and unfortunately this isn't the first time something like this has happened. If John is still the owner he needs to make sure his employees have better quality control over the cakes. When I worked here in the early 2000's we had similar problems due to negligence on our part but I would assume that this would have been corrected long ago. Definitely an unhappy experience. Also, the cakes were kept in the fridge overnight. The second cake was fine, however this one is all sorts of struggling.

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

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
