Honestly, I'm not sure where all the 5 stars are coming from. I heard about a new Chinese bakery in Bay Ridge so I came to support the business. I order a medium iced coffee light on the sugar, red bean pineapple bun, and a cha siu (roast pork) bun. I respect the chef's take on some classics you would find at a Chinese Bakery. But it was disappointing. Both buns were tasteless (fillings included), definitely light on the salt, sugar, and butter for the bun portion. Coffee needs work too, coffee taste was faint. Props to the interior design and decor. Definitely nailed the modern Chinese bakery look. Wishing y'all success. read more

Gigi's is an awesome bakery that sells egg tarts (don tat) and other Chinese baked good staples. Other than the egg tarts, I was able to try the hot dog scallion bun, mango cake, and pineapple bun. Everything was delicious and freshly baked. The service was friendly and the place is clean with modern decor. The HK style milk tea is pretty good too although a tad sweet. I will be returning to try their other baked goods including the honey toast. read more

My notes say, "not bad, but not amazing." I agree with my notes- lil' bit of a grading curve here because in NYC there is an awful lot of amazing. Still this place is pretty good. read more

Pretty disappointed by their buns and pastries, to be honest. Their Portuguese egg tarts aren't as good as Lily Bloom's (and were kind of stale). And their hot dog buns consisted of way too much bread (that wasn't that good). Oh well. read more

Amazing service, food and cakes. A plus all the way. Ambiance is very clean and presentable.

Very rude customer service especially the cashier. I asked for less sweet coffee. She told me " oh you should have told me earlier." The back staff who was making the coffee said " it's too late " tbh, I don't need this attitude. Ok ? You should ask the customer how would they like the coffee. Their steamed shrimp noodle was very terrible. It looks like its been there for a long time. 100% will not go there again. Not worth the money. read more

Gigi's Bakery - Steamed shrimp roll - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Absolute gem in Bay Ridge. As a lifelong resident, I've been waiting for a a legit traditional Chinese bakery to finally open. Now I can just walk to get my bao fix. If you're around (or if you're not, make the trip!), do yourself a favor and try their po tats (portugese egg tarts). They are BOMB. Not into sweets? They have plenty of savory bao options as well. My personal favorites are the fish filet bao and the hot dog bao. Their drinks are amazing as well.. my go to is the honey iced lemon tea. The decor is wonderful and modern, and beaming with natural light. Last but definitely not least.. the staff is AMAZING and super friendly. read more

I have been here a couple of times so far and have enjoyed everything I have tried. I was really exited to find out that they are now offering steamed rice noodle rolls aka cheung fun and dumplings every day until 1pm. I came in this week to try their new offerings and got the plain rice noodle roll and the egg roll rice noodle roll along with some of their other specialties like their Portuguese egg tart, taro bun, and mango iced tea with boba. I definitely recommend trying all of these items! read more

i literally couldn't be happier that this bakery exists in bay ridge. i wanted to order a cake for mother's day last month, so i knew that gigi's was the place to go. -i tried to call them to place a custom cake order in advance, but some of their prices were just out of my budget range. so, i ended up going with a pretty standard cake. the workers, however, are some of the friendliest i've ever met! you can really tell that they care about their customers. -the inside is spacious and they have a smaller selection of baked goods, but they do everything great here. there are also multiple hand sanitizers throughout the store. they don't have any outdoor seating. -both cash and card are expected. their prices are also relatively fair, in my opinion, especially for the fresh baked quality. 5/9/21 -mixed fruit sponge cake: i actually got this cake for my birthday a couple of years back, and this one tasted just as good! the sponge cake was so fluffy, and the whipped cream layers were so light. every bite of this had a pillowy texture and literally melted in your mouth. it's seriously the perfect cake for someone who's not a big fan of sweet things. i was even more blown away by their presentation of the cake! i loved the pink and white colors; it definitely fit the occasion for mother's day. an 8 inch cake was only around $35, which is seriously an amazing deal imo. there were plenty of leftovers even after each of us took a huge slice. (4.5/5) overall, this is one of the best affordable asian bakeries that i've ever been to. their bread, cakes, and pastries have yet to disappoint me! my favorites from here that i would recommend you must try would be their portuguese egg tart, pineapple bun, and mixed fruit sponge cake. read more

Omg these Portuguese egg tarts should be illegal - how am I supposed to stick to my diet when they're this good!?? I have to force myself to not come by every weekend, the Baos and pastries are to die for and the drinks are great for when you want your boba fix. It is a bit hard to find parking in the area though, so be prepared to risk the ticket for the biscuit... or in my case, egg tart read more

Love what they are doing over here in Bay Ridge! The excellent food reminds me of my childhood and now I have it so easily accessible!! If you are ever in the area I would definitely recommend trying their pastries and fruit tea. read more

Conveniently located near the R train, Gigi is smart to have opened near such a high traffic area. I'm sure during weekday mornings, this place gets busy with morning commuters grabbing a quick to-go breakfast. I came here during the month of July when the bakery first opened and ordered a honeydew bubble milk tea and a portuguese egg tart. The honey dew bubble tea tasted fine but it didn't have enough ice in the drink so I was drinking lukewarm milk tea (kinda sad), the boba was missing the lovely bounce boba usually has too. Regardless the drink tasted the way it should so the recipe is solid, they just need to add more ice in their cold drinks especially during the summer time and taste test their boba from time to time to make sure it has maximum chewy-ness. What was really disappointing to me were their portuguese egg tarts! The one I received tasted like a regular egg tart and didn't not have the nice caramelization on top of the egg tart, custardy filling along with that nicely browned crust so that was a huge bummer. I'm willing to try their Portuguese egg tarts again to see if they have improved since opening but my first visit was a bit of a bummer. :( read more

the store is new and the people are really friendly/nice. cash and credit is accepted for orders greater than $10 and the food is authentic chinese bakery food. They keep the costs down by giving you slightly less filling in buns than your regular chinese bakery. For example, the fried fish bun uses half a piece of fish versus another bakery that would use a full piece. I get that it's bay ridge and its a great way to keep costs down and for a bun to cost $2.25 its a great marketing strategy. I'd recommend they start making rice rolls, some dimsum, and even adding some of those $2.50 foil tray rice dishes tor really suck me in. I'll be paying them a visit multiple times a week at this point. read more

Not sure if you want a black hair inside your ham and cheese croissant, but there was inside mine. As a first and last time customer, I won't be returning here. Cashier isn't welcoming as the other Bay Ridge shops, you won't get a "good morning". Tone is very rude. read more

New gem in bay ridge! Affordable drinks and pastries, the staff is very friendly and always attend to your needs. Their cold teas are refreshing and the cakes are yummy and light. I got a large milk tea for 3.50, and a small green tea roll cake for under $3! Their passion green tea is also to die for. Love love love this place! It's aesthetically pleasing. read more

Terrible, terrible, terrible...this place wont provide you any good. The bakery products and cakes are not fresh made in the morning, could be leftover from last night. This Gigi's Bakery made fake "5-stars" ratings on Yelp reviews rating. Manger was really rude, careless about their product and customer service. read more

One of the tastiest Portuguese Egg Tarts in the neighborhood!!! The place is clean and the customer service is great - Make sure to get the egg tarts and if you buy 5 of them you get the 6th one for free! Make sure to pair it with their HK style milk tea, yum! read more

Per-pandemic, I used to go in every once in a while. Now that they are on seamless, I tried ordering some of their pastries. The coconut butterfly bun was all greasy on top (looked like clumps of lard or shortening?) which was really unappealing. Another family member said the Portuguese egg tart was ok but only ate half. I won't bother ordering again. I prefer my favorite Chinese bakery in the city tbh. read more

Bread is good but stuffing is no good. Choose your bread wisely (don't get the ones with stuffings)!

Always, a good spot to grab a coffee and something savory or sweet. Usually frequent this bakery mid morning for a large hot coffee with just milk and a hun or two. Buns are bigger than you find at other bakeries so the $1.25 or $1.50 is about right. Baked tuna buns: nice pillowy bread with a nice tuna filling with a hint of seasoning. Baked Roast Pork Bun: pillowy bread filled with a sweet and savory porky oniony filling. Fried Chicken Bun: would be better if they were served warm. Ham and cheese bread...very filling and would be better if served warm. But, with hot tea this goes down well. If you are in the neighborhood...pop in and grab a bun or two. Also, their portugese tarts are so custardy delishious...I lucked up and got too fairly warm ones. read more

I usually just go here for 1 simple thing. Sugar donut for the handsome price of $1.25. It's basically fried dough dusted in granular sugar. It's pretty amazing. It's really the people here, like my fellow Yelp friend Suki often points out... they are just really nice and friendly. I feel welcome and at ease when in this place. I want to try one of those hot dogs in a bun and will also be trying the egg tarts that everyone always raves about. Also...they have some amazing artistic cakes here that would really be a hit at any party or holiday gathering. read more

I wanted to check out this place and was not disappointed. I got the pork floss bun ($1.50) and chocolate bun ($1.50). Regular Chinese bakeries will probably have them for $1 but the buns are huge and the place is convenient so i am okay with that. Place is very nice and had a lot of choices. I didn't get to look and see if they have bubble tea but I'll look and try their drinks next time. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a while and I finally had the chance to come! I bookmarked this place to try their Portuguese egg tarts and that is what I got. They were a big hit with the family. They are $1.50 each, buy 5 get 1 free. Make sure to come when they are fresh out of the even. They are best eaten when hot. The place is very clean, big and spacious so even if the coronavirus going on, don't be afraid to come. They have a bottle of hand sanitizer in the front when you walk in. The people that work here are in masks and there is a plastic/glass partition separating people. I think my favorite part of this place was the fridge in the back with the bags of steamed buns! This is genius! I loved being able to look at the options and the ability to buy to bring home to steam. The buns are bigger than your typical buns which I appreciate! I got the custard buns because who doesn't love a custard bun? I already ate half the bag of 6 and it was well worth the $6! I am a repeat customer for the buns. I read there used to be a green tea custard bun. I hope they bring that back! I'd love to see this place expand their menu and offer other things to bring home to steam/cook. I would also love it if they offered some ready made savory items or savory items to bring home. This would be perfect during this time since we can't eat out. I also tried the mango mousse cake. I love mango anything so I really wanted to try the mango mousse cake here. The cake was a bit on the expensive side, think $40+ for a cake. I think the prices should be lowered and then this would be the perfect place to get a cake. That said, I do want to come back and try their green tea cakes. Overall, a great experience. I'm glad Gigi's is here in the neighborhood for us Bay Ridge residents. It's in the perfect location too so I hope it does well and sticks around. I'll be back for more egg tarts! read more

A little joy in Bay Ridge is what I call this bakery. I love everything they have here. I also love their savory baked goods I've tried all of them! They also have buns in the refrigerator section that can be warmed up and it's delicious. Service is amazing and since covid it's my weekly go-to place to pick up some treats to perk everyone up. read more

Great hot dog in a bun, great customer service. Delivery was in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Visited during the time of COVID-19 and was pleased to see that when you enter there is a little table with hand sanitizer. It was very spacious and the decor inside was nice. We didn't try any food but we got bubble tea which I loved. I got the rose milk tea and my boyfriend got the brown sugar flavor. The bubble tea was delicious and I loved the cup it was served in. It was a plastic cup that had a space for sipping like coffee, then two straw holes for a large bubble tea straw or a regular straw. I just thought the design of the cup was really nice and I wonder if it could be reused. Anyway they have a lot of cakes and bread (and macarons!) and everything looked delicious so I will have to return to try some desserts and baked goods. Staff was super friendly and everything was very clean. read more

Tried on a whim when I missed my bus stop; glad I did--this place has the absolute best roll cake ever, fresh, fluffy, moist. Also tried mixed fruit cake, red velvet, coconut bun, and they were as expected from most asian bakeries. Will come back for more roll cakes though read more

Soft fluffy buns with creative fillings/toppings, amazing drinks, sweet cakes and desserts... these are just some of the amazing things you can get here. I stop by here most mornings for breakfast - a hotdog bun or a raisin twist and a classic Cantonese milk tea. Perfect way to start my day! Their other fruity drinks (bobas) are great too! The staff is always friendly and super quick, especially when I'm in a rush! 10/10! read more

Aahhh! Those Egg Custards! I've always gotten egg custards in Brooklyn Chinatown or Manhattan Chinatown but now I have them five minutes away from my house and just as good or possibly better than I've ever had. I'm not sure if this is good or very dangerous for me! My son and his best friend were here last week for dinner. We brought out the egg custards for dessert. They both take their egg custard very seriously and just looked at these with disdain and told us that they didn't know what we were thinking getting them in Bay Ridge instead of Chinatown. My husband and I said "that's fine we'll eat yours". Well they finally decided to try them and flipped out. I know it was hard especially for my son to admit that they were fabulous but he did. read more

I still can't get over how good the iced coffee was. read more
