My first few encounters here were related to the Too Good to Go app where they sold big bags of baked goods for a very cheap price. They were always doughnuts and muffins. Lately, we've come for their lunch sandwiches. Most of them are named after streets in BK Heights, which I thought was cute. They're better than the other fast food subs around the neighborhood. I've had the Brooklyn Heights with hot lean roast beef with lettuce and tomatoes on hero and the dumont with hot roast beef with melted cheese and onions on a hero. The employees behind the counter are usually very nice and make sure that you're being helped. As I wait for the sandwiches, I'm usually browsing all the other baked good options ranging from cakes to cookies to cupcakes. I did succumb once and paid over 20 dollars per lb for Christmas cookies. They were alright, but very pricey. read more

We were craving some sweets and found this bakery/deli on yelp. We only ordered a large chocolate chip cookie and a brownie. Both were amazing and not too sweet. The bread looked good but we had already eaten lunch. The bakery section has some good options for cookies and such. read more

Solid if pricey deli with a large selection of pastries, sandwiches, and other premade foods. We were in the area and stopped by for brunch, and I tried the L&H express ($12.95) and a bacon egg and cheese ($7.50). We also got a peach danish / pastry ($3.95) and hot coffee ($2.75). The L&H was a huge sandwich and very flavorful! Ingredients tasted fresh and was made well with a lot of meat. It tasted a bit like a burger haha. The BEC was also great - the eggs were cooked well and fluffy, though the sandwich could have used a bit more seasoning. I also loved the peach pastry! Not too sweet and very flakey. Service was friendly and the checkout line was efficient. The only downside was not having a place to eat it -- there were picnic tables outside but it was a cold and rainy day. I'd come back again! read more

The quality of the food and desserts at Lassen & Hennigs is always great- it's fresh and tasty, what's not to love? One of my favorite things there is actually their red velvet cake versus their popular sandwiches. The cream cheese frosting is delicious and the cake is pretty moist albeit a little too crumbly for my liking. All in all, I wish this place had more locations as it's a great food and bake shop and I hope it continues to stay for decades to come. read more

Classic Brooklyn bakery that I love to patronize when I'm on this side of town. Highly recommend the red velvet cake! That's what drew me here over 20 years ago and that's why I still come back. Also recommend the pumpkin cheesecake and other flavors. The desserts always taste like they're baked/prepared fresh and are delicious. There are no seats so anything you get is going to be a grab and go treat. Upon entry, the bakery counter is to the left and the refrigerator and register are to the right. The middle aisle has items that don't need refrigeration. The store is small and is usually crowded with at least 10 patrons at a time. 2 thumbs up, will always come back and highly recommend read more

I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast before heading out so I decided to stop by Lassen & Hennigs for a bite to eat. This family owned business has been in operation since 1949. They have baked goods and soups galore. I ordered an egg sandwich on a roll and it was really good. I'm glad that I decided to give them a try. read more

Call to order?! How? You have the worst telephone system!! They do not answer the phones. I'll take my money somewhere else where they actually answer the phones. I do not recommend!! read more

Located on the most charming street in all of Brooklyn Heights, Larsen & Hennigs is the perfect stop to fulfill your breakfast sandwich craving, satisfy your sweet tooth, and pick up something for lunch/dinner on the go. I've only been here about 3 times total, but I can already tell I'm becoming a regular! My favorite item on the menu is a bacon (or avocado), egg and cheese on their fluffy whole wheat roll. Opposed to the classic NY bagel, I find their rolls very light on the stomach and easier to digest. Whether a weekday morning or Saturday afternoon, be sure to pop in for a treat! read more

2.5 stars rounded up -- maybe it was just the batch of the day wasn't great, but their Italian cookies and cannolis were disappointing and just weren't at all that good for the price. The rainbow cookies had two different kinds of jam, an "off" texture, and didn't have chocolate along the sides but instead had a thick layer of chocolate frosting (?) only on the top. The mini cannolis were meh. The butter cookies were fine but the texture wasn't what they traditionally are. If they were cheaper it would be fine but it just all felt very overpriced for the quality and quantity. However, the staff were all very very nice! read more

They inflated the prices dramatically during Covid and kept them that way. 2 hard boiled eggs went from $2 to $4.50! Pretty sure they lie about using olive oil in their prepared food. The service is also read more

This is for the chicken soup. Yes - 4 star chicken soup. It's not fancy, and that why it's good. It's chicken stock, water, noodles, carrots, celery, salt, and chicken. It's perfect just as it is when you crave soup. They will split the noodles from the soup for you so they will travel well. I've had sandwiches here and they are ok, but the chicken soup is good. read more

I was in and out of here in less than 5 minutes after giving up on L'appartement 4F line across the street. The pastry counter person helped me select a phenomenal cheese Danish. Wheelchair accessibility is fine, no barriers to get in and there are benches and picnic tables outside. I wish the staff was a bit more helpful. Most places that have self serve coffee offer to do it for me because it's pretty hard to do it myself in the store and I was alone, but they do not. read more

On the expensive but always worth it, to me at least! I moved away from Brooklyn heights and still travel back here. whether it's for a sandwich or the beet salad or a slice of fudge & raspberry cake--this is a forever kind of thing read more

Came here by chance since there's a cat cafe and clinic not that far. I had to drop off my cat for her spay appointment. My bf and I were just looking around for a place to grab breakfast then head home. Me...being me saw lots of pastries so I was pulled in! I noticed it's a little like a deli but they have a lot of cakes and all on one side. To say I wanted everything was an understatement. I get overwhelmed and want to get one of everything! But...my bf and I settled for a small pumpkin bread load, two glazed donut, lemon cake and a chocolate cake. Again, I swear I wanted to get more but the bf...stopped me...curses!!! We brought the babies home and we were tired from having to wake up early to drop off our cat. So we napped and when we woke I was ready for a snack! We had the donut first and it was very good it's a bit cold from the fridge but it was still soft and sweet. It's not super soft like from Krispy Kreme but it was soft and I wonder if it would have been even softer if we ate the donut rights away. Our cakes, we had after dinner that day. It was pretty good, mine was lemony like really lemony. Not sour but it's lemon haha. The chocolate was pretty good as well, not super dense but soft enough to really enough. Can't review the pumpkin load since I gave it to my mom. But I really want to go back to try the other items. read more

This place is tremendous in the sense that it is great. Great sandwiches cookies coffee they have a little bit of everything. This place slaps read more

I've been buying cakes here consistently for 10 years most Fridays to get a decent cakes. On most cases the employees are very nice but occasionally I run to some weird acting ones. Most recently one of them turned me off to the point that I will greatly reduce the amount of purchases or stop going there completely. I was buying 3 cakes and one of them had an expired date. In the past when that happen others gave it to me for free. First we were discussing to get the cake for a discounted price and when I changed my mind, they made a decision to throw it away in the trash right in the front of my face rather than give it to me or to a less fortunate person in need. read more

While this looks like your run-of-the-mill bakery/prepared lunch spot from outside, I was surprised to find out how truly extensive their menu was when I finally stepped all the way in! The first time I stopped by was for a Too Good to Go pickup and I got a bagful of muffins that were only okay, and I didn't go back for about 4 months despite walking by this place weekly. I was looking up croissants recently and stumbled upon someone mentioning that the bakery items are made in-house daily here and rival the fancy ones across the street and so I thought I'd give it another try! I bought two plain croissants (they also have chocolate, lobster tails, and some other versions) for about $3.50/ea and toasted them up a bit at home. They were a bit smaller/straighter than I expected, but they were flakey, buttery, and delicious! I would definitely buy this again. As for the rest of the shop, they have a TON of cakes, cookies, drinks, and prepared hot/cold foods available! Prices average about $10 if you wanted to grab a cold sandwich/salad for lunch, and I was amazed at the variety of cold side salad/slaw options in the back. There's a decent amount of pasta/meatball options to heat up as well! Finally, the rarest thing I found definitely has to be the single slices of bread pudding. Wasn't feeling it today, but I'm curious about how it tastes! read more

Service was on point and the shop was busy when we went. This is my first time trying them out and they are a sweet tooth's delight! We bought the raspberry/chocolate and vanille fillings cake. It was so sweet and I'd pair it off with black coffee or dry wine next time. It went well with my bland chamomile tea though. So if you crave a sugar overload, then try this cake. I'm now partial to the $2 cupcakes lol. Small but mighty with the frosting and taste. I will buy again and again and I'm recommending this for cheat days lol! They have different toppings/frosting! The vibe was great and the colleagues at work had a good time digging in. We plan to explore other flavors. My sister enjoyed the cake too and I trust she will be visiting soon too lol. I'm the newbie but they are regulars, So this was a choice to get the cake for this celebration from here! Great choice too! Until next time but for a lot less sugar fill. read more

Great coffee and quick service for foods. I ordered an egg sandwich, coffee, and cut up cantaloupe. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Very cute shop! read more

This is my go to bakery/deli when I'm in the area heading to the park. They have a ton of choices in the bakery section that I always pick from along with getting a sausage egg and cheese from the back. The sandwiches in my opinion are a bit pricey especially if you add the sausage and cheese or anything else but it's still a good sandwich. They have fast service and have two registers for quick checkout. read more

Another home run from my favorite Brooklyn Heights shop! Catered box luncheon for 18 seniors personalized with names labeled on each one. Everyone loved their meal! Excellent service from start to delivery-! From a tough hard to please customer- 10 stars-!! read more

Interesting place. Seems like they have some good stuff. I was 1 of 2 people in there initially at 8:20. I waited by the counter and watched 2 employees doing whatever. Finally after 12 minutes I asked where to order. That's a looooooong wait for a brownie when there are no other customers. Not so sure I'd return given the service level. I'll see how the food is later. read more

The space here is clean and has tons of pastries, cakes and pies and a few hot food items to choose from. read more

When I lived in Brooklyn Heights Larsen was the place to go to purchase cakes and sandwiches. Back in the day the markets were sparse in the Heights; Dagostinos and Key Food were the main draw. Lassen filled the void from those markets.. however at a price. I always found Lassen to be overpriced and still is. My friend and I stopped by after dinner to grab a mini treat. I bought a mini Hostess cupcake for $2 which I hate to say was tasteless and dry so not worth the cheat. They bakery display looks good but have to wonder how great are the rest of the options. The price gauging is really in effect for a plastic container with 4 pieces of rugelach for $9.99. Sandwich prices start at $12(?) I'm unsure if Apartment 4 F which took over Connecticut Muffin's space is giving Lassen a run for their money. The nearby Starbucks closes early so maybe Lassen is benefiting from that? Either way, Brooklyn Heights deserves better. read more

Lassen & Henning's is an old school deli, sandwich shop, and bakery with a good selection of prepared foods. They have a pretty extensive sandwich menu, with the Knickerbocker looking like one of the most popular choices. The customer service here was great. You can tell they have a ton of return clients and a lot of old school customers who've been coming for years, it was really cute to see. I order the Love Lane with sopressata, fresh mozz, no bell peppers and pepperoncinis instead. We also go a knickerbocker, and one plain croissant. The sandwiches were really good! I'd definitely be back and make this my go-to neighborhood sandwich spot. The croissant was also fresh and excellent- not sure if this is baked in house or not. They also have a really extensive assortment of Italian pastries. I look forward to trying some of these in the future! read more

Wonderful manager and staff. Great bake and grab and go goods. The coffee, baguettes, croissants and quiche and cookies are delicious.

Quick and easy place to grab a bite on your lunch break. I got the chicken noodle soup, a mango tea, and a berry parfait. It wasn't like revolutionary or anything, but good enough. I really loved the classically Brooklyn interior, so warm and cozy inside. I want to come back and try their hot foods bar, their sandwiches seem to be the staple here. read more

HOLY TOLEDO! The serving sizes from their Passover menu are HUGE. Not sure what is typical but we ordered for the sedar and had enough left over for breakfast the next day and the second sedar. Love the salmon (that was breakfast) and turkey and brisket!!! The side portions were huge as well. The only complaint was that the soup had dill in it. Again, the portion sizes were so big that we had to throw out some soup. :-( HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend! read more
