I was walking aimlessly with my fellow yelper, Angie C. around the Bedford Ave area and found this amazing bakery with incredibly delicious chocolate wafers. It's not your typical wafers that have 2 layers but this one has 4! It's not crispy but chewy, which adds an interesting texture and flavor to it. It's not too sweet either which makes me less guilty for eating 2 or 3 blocks of it. I also bought their valentine day special cupcake and it's the size of what you would find at Crumbs except much cheaper. It appears to be a very popular place among the locals and would definitely come back and try their bread. read more

I am the Director of the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel food pantry.I would like to thank Northside bakery for their very generous donation to us. We are a community church who services people in our community. The baked goods that were donated helped feed hungry people . Thank You again, read more

A cute little Polish bakery in the heart of Williamsburg. Try the chocolate croissant, especially in the morning when it's crazy stupid fresh. I guarantee that it will be the best, flakiest, crunchiest croissant you've ever had. read more

Very cool bakery. Great place for lunch. Friendly staff and amazing selection of baked goods. Very generous portions.

The girls behind the counter are so rude and will never return, I would not recommend this place. How I ask one of the girls can I order some cookie and she looks at me and said I don't think so. What business treats customers that way. I'm Not putting my money in that business. read more

Old school Polish bakery with enough goodies to ruin any workout you had the day prior. Straight forward and helpful, its a staple in Williamsburg. read more

What is it with me and bakeries? In my quest to visit every bakery and consume all their delights, I have popped into Northside Bakery on more than one occasion. This is certainly not a bakery in which you wish to linger - if you are looking for the alluring smell of freshly baked bread and a welcoming staff, do yourself a favor and seek refuge elsewhere (pro tip: Bakeri is not very far away). This naturally leads to the appeal of this Polish bakery - it is cheap. Incredibly cheap. In fact, I think this is precisely what Jesus had in mind when he did that brilliant bread multiplication trick - 5 loaves of bread at any other establishment are almost equal to 5,000 at Northside Bakery. Parables aside, however, what one gains in quantity, one certainly loses in quality. The bread tastes store bought and certainly lacks the feeling of a hearty artisanal loaf that one expects from a bakery in Williamsburg (or anywhere for that matter). At best, I would designate the store as a purveyor of bread in its most generic form. The service is also highly dependent on the traffic in the store - while the staff can be perfectly friendly during quiet times, prepare to have someone yell, "Yes?!" with overtones of utter disdain during busier hours. As noted earlier, it is not the most welcoming of environments. The good bakery also sells pastries and is listed under the doughnuts category on Yelp. It is probably safe to say that no sane person would choose a doughnut from Northside over the quality fare - at the same price - offered at Peter Pan Bakery, for example. The doughnuts at Northside contain some ambiguously sweet sludge that comes in a choice of "custard" or "jelly," though these items usually make the briefest of guest appearances in the doughnuts and the taste is nothing short of perplexing. Following the sweet theme, they also sell poppy seed-related pastries, which are somewhat more satisfying, though certainly not worthy of a special trip. While the bakery also serves hot meals, I have yet to indulge in one as they certainly don't look that appetizing, though one cannot judge food on appearance alone. Conclusion: If you wish to stock up on your supply of bread for the year, this is the place in which to do it. Furthermore, if you're not looking for anything fancier than what you would obtain at the local grocery store, this is a reasonable alternative. However, if you're interested in procuring bread that will complement whatever you're serving it with, best you journey elsewhere. read more

The best pierogis ever. Beets, sauerkraut, and pickles, too...I absolutely love Northside Bakery.

This place will employ you and fire you because of medical conditions. The people there are great to work with, well at least some. But like its been stated before... you will get fired because of medical conditions and wait for your pay almost 2 and half week. read more

I love the amount of fresh options this bakery provides. Definitely a cure for any sweet tooth!

Simply the best desserts I have had in the city. The Napoleon was done well and had the perfect balance of crust, powdered sugar and of course cream. A great balance and not overly sweet. I would highly recommend this place as a must stop bakery in Williamsburg. I would also recommend making the trip out of the city to experience this great find. read more

This place is the real deal! I grew up with a mom who cooked homemade polish meals daily and have missed them so much since moving to NYC:) this place is delicious, authentic and the ladies are so friendly! This place isn't just bakery either - they've got delicious meals to go too. Another plus is it's close to the Bedford stop so coming in from Manhattan isn't too bad read more

So this looks to be like "the" local Polish hangout. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a steady consistent line of customers buying their goods. Their display case was kind of empty but that must be a very good sign as to their quality. Service is quick and to the point and I was surprised they accept credit cards. In addition to their sweets, they have a pretty large selection of breads as well. I only ordered their chocolate wafers and for half a pound it was $3.00. Tasty yes, but I always expect wafers to be crispy but these sadly were not. Still good though and being the bakery fan that I am, I would definitely head back to this one to try more items if I were to ever leave Astoria/Manhattan. read more

I'm a fan of their fresh baked white rye. Its sooo soft and good.

being a jewish person visiting The Northside of Williamsburg on friday night, after the hasids are shack up for shabbos, and in need of a challah, i was surprised to find so many bakeries to be devoid of challahs. Not so for Northside. and it was delicious. I always knew we secretly had an ally in Poland . . . don't think too hard about that one. read more

This is really the cheapest place to get all of your breads on the north side!! The breads/rolls/snacks are all so delicious. The staff is welcoming which is always a plus. cash only. read more

Wish they were a bit nicer in the mornings... I understand mornings are tough to work but please be nice to your customers. Also, don't talk about your customers in Polish... you just don't know if the person standing in line behind the person you are talking about speaks the language! read more

Amazing breads! The pickles are great too. Haven't tried anything else, but I am always tempted.

Gorgeous-looking donuts and dishes and dishes of cabbage rolls and other savories drew us in. The 80-cent jelly donut with raspberry-rose-plum jam will bring us back over the bridge again and again. read more

A fantastic Polish bakery in the heart of Williamsburg. They also have a Greepoint location as well. Amazing breads and baked goods.

I popped in this place on a whim. I got the chicken soup which was good and a chocolate layer cake which was good. I was anticipating the bill to be around $7-10 but to my surprise $4!!! Everything was GOOD not great. Simply good. Nothing overly amazing. This place is good I will def come back. read more

I loved there perogi and fresh bread friendly and pretty reasonable in prices but recent city violated them for multi violations and will return when they get the violations resolved otherwise I love this place read more

The Seven Grain bread was fresh and amazingly tasty. And only $3. The pastries not overly sweet, but large and flaky - delicious.

What a lovely bakery! Old fashioned and the best ;) their take out food is delicious and super affordable. Chicken cutlet and mashed potatoes homemade and very good! read more

Gotta try their fruitcake!! I toast a slice in the toaster oven or under the broiler! Loaded with nuts and fruit! Yummy!!!

Wow must stop destination the desserts look amazing something you might want to share with someone or give as a gift that good , I opted for the whole grain loaf with cranberry walnuts and raisins , what a treat great value I can't wait to go back to try some of the other breads a lot of whole grain selection ! read more

Such great bread and very good prices. I've also had the pirogies and a couple of the various cream cakes. Remarkably, though it's in the epicenter of hipster Williamsburg right around the corner from the Bedford L stop, its patrons seem more Polish than trust fund kids. It's almost a daily stop for me. read more

The cakes look and taste fresh. Usually get the Napoleon because of its large size. It's price makes it hard to buy more slices to share. For lunch, I come in to grab a couple of pierogis. They have a good selection of bread and small treats like donut holes and other interesting pastries. read more

This bakery is one of the best bakeries in NYS! Basia and Paulina are the sweeter than there pastries they sell. The homemade lunches are mouth watering. A warm smile and a few lessons in understanding Polish. It's my new regular coffee place! read more

Love love love their pierogi's- potato and cheese is the way to go. Mushroom and sauerkraut are ok. Have also tried the tiramisu and cappacino dessert cake - very very good! They get 4 instead of 5 is because they always seem to "run out" or only have certain things on certain days. Also have tried pre-ordering their pierogi's in bulk (they are that good!) but they are very unorganized and could be better with their service. Have yet to try the fresh baked breads but they look great. Def worth it to stop by and pick some goodies up to go. read more

I have been going to Northside Bakery for the past 3 years and all can say is YUMM!!!!! The pastries are wonderful and the breads are always fresh. They are open 7 days a week and each cashier is always is eager to provide you with the bread you crave. My favorite bread is the Cranberry raisin walnut bread it can be eaten whole. I have been to several bakeries and I could not find this type of bread it is filled with cranberries and they don't cut anything short. Keep up the good work! read more

This bakery is located near my workplace. I go there on a daily basis for coffee, pastries, bread and their polish catering service. They are an amazing resource! Of course, it is pretty different from everything you can find in the gentrified neighborhood, from the service to the price. If you are not familiar with the place you may get confused with the variety of unidentified baked goods, there are no prices up and you are given little time to make up your mind given the usual line at the counter. The service is basic, but the girls are starting to recognize me and as in many polish places I appreciate their honesty: good product, good price, no frills. I would say in order of preference: bread, cakes, catering (on the greasy side). I am glad there are still places that feel personable, with coffee well under $3. Thank you Northside! read more

White rye bread was soft and tastes great toasted with butter. And at less than $3 for a huge loaf, it was a good price. The cream puffs are gigantic and there is tart cherry filling buried inside- delicious! Service was prompt and helpful, but not welcoming and no smiles. Tip: Hot food isn't served on Sundays. read more

I absolutely love this bakery. The blueberry muffins and cheesecake are wonderful. If you need fresh bread for any occasion, I would definitely recommend Northside. I only live a couple blocks away and sometimes it is so hard not to stop by for a treat. read more

Where is the jelly in the jelly donuts? They should reach out to Glendale Bakery for a recipe. Very disappointing. Counter staff could also use a class in meeting and greeting customers. read more

Just saying this place is so amazingly delicious. The breads, the soups, the pierogis. So delicious. The staff is very friendly.

Bakery girls are rude in a very humorous way; once I engaged them, they were fine. I'd pass on the croissant, and the peach muffins are fine.. but the real gems here are the kolaczkis. I may be biased because they remind me of holidays from my childhood, but my roommates also agreed. The hot case with pierogis and chicken looked good as well, and I will definitely be trying some next time. read more

They have good bread and delicious donuts, but honestly the service sucks! I used to go there every day before work, but had to stop because I could not stand the girls working there. Especially one of them: kind of pretty, toll, with dark hair is really MEAN. I kinda see that all polish girls have that hmm... flavour (???). Greeinpont abounds in good bakeries, so why Northside...? read more

Oh my goodness, everything here is delicious, I've tried the cheese danish, pretty much all the cheesecakes, the bread, the fruit cake, the wafers, and everything is amazing! I'd recommend it to all my friends, plus side: they open early read more
