This was a find!!!! We decided to head to Brooklyn for pizza - if you know, you know - and decided to walk around the neighborhood and we happened upon Ostrovitsky Bakery. We had: - Chocolate Babka - delicious, one of the best we ever had - Apple Pie - very good - Black and White cookie - good but not great We will defiantly come back for dessert when we need our pizza fix! read more

This is a review for a birthday cake that was ordered. I requested a cake for up to 6-8 slices, the woman I spoke with on the phone was very patient and courteous while informing me what they can do. When I came to pick up the cake, it was very lovely and I was completely happy with the results. The chocolate sponge cake was moist and the cherry pudding or filling wasn't overly sweet. Everyone enjoyed. Will be ordering more birthday cakes from here in the future. read more

The challah bread here is seriously baked in heaven. While I am not a big fan of there cookies by the pound at all... the smell of there bread and the fluffiness just put Ostrovitsky on a whole different level of amazing. The bread is one of the best breads I've ever had in Brooklyn. The aroma of fresh baked bread will fill your car when your purchase them. The hamentash specifically the prune is so delicious and is so soft it melts in your mouth. Cash and credit accepted. Lines are very long on Friday but they have staff and lines move fast. If you can avoid going alone go with someone on Friday's because finding parking is a MESS. Specifically Friday before the "Shabbat rush." I definitely recommend the pull apart challah.. while it might not look beautiful the smell and taste is next level. Best if you eat it same day as it gets a bit hard and looses texture the next day! Definitely make it to Ostrovitsky!! read more

I admit, the cheesecake portion of the dessert is delicious. It's not as dense as I like my cheesecake, which explains why the knife didn't come out clean when sliced. The flavor is there. What went wrong? What upset me more than the cold & indifferent service (seriously, who pissed in your cornflakes?) is the packaging. I sliced right through the thin aluminum foil it came in. Incredibly unsafe. What upset me even more (if that's even possible) is that there was no graham cracker crust! How do you make cheesecake with the best part missing? Get it together. read more

I have no idea what this is called, but it was seriously one of the greatest desserts I've ever had. It's flaky, chocolatey, and covered in powdered sugar-What's not to love about it? It's also a very generous portion. I am not a huge sugar fan so usually never have a birthday cake or anything like that. This year, I told my family I want one of these!! I can't wait to go back and get it again. The chocolate rugelach is also out of this world. read more

This bakery is very unsafe, they do not follow the social distancing and mask rules, customers are gathering close together without any face covering or it's not completely covering their nose and mouth, I visited the place a few times with the same problem, there's a guy usually at the back who walks around from front to back with no face covering at all, to be fair the ladies behind the counter usually wears a mask but they are not saying anything to the ones that don't. This place is unsafe and you should avoid there and call 311 to complain. read more

I live a block away and while the chocolate cigars are delicious, the staff here are just SO rude. Once my sister came in to buy a cake and asked for "Merry Christmas" to be written on it and the worker refused because it was a Jewish bakery. I went in there two days ago and asked for a box of rainbow cookies for a staff party and was told to buy the plastic boxes up against the wall (which barely have enough cookies per container). After explaining I needed cookies for a lot of people she just told me to buy the plastic boxes. Eventually I gave up and told her to forget since I came to buy a box of cookies from the actual bakery and not 10 boxes of the plastic boxed ones. Every time I'm there I'm greeted with an eye roll or a rude woman who refuses to help me. Fix your staff! read more

I've stopped by here several times when switching buses on the corner. Usually their pastries are very good. Yes, there is an air of arrogance by the staff. The other day I drove there specifically to purchase some pastries, and they were closed at 6 pm on a Tuesday. Usually they close 8 or 9 pm. It wasn't a Jewish holiday. No reason for them to be closed! No sign on the gate, nothing. When I called the number on their awning, it just rang and rang. How hard is it to buy a $10 answering machine and list your store hours and other pertinent info?!? Like if your closed early on a particular day or week for a holiday. read more

When I think Brooklyn I think accents, pizza and bakeries. And when it comes to bakeries look no further than this little gem. Upon entering you're greeted with a warm smell of vanilla, eggs and sugary goodness. My husband swears by this place so I decided to try their infamous chocolate danish. Now I love my chocolate but I hate pastries since I've usually had dry, falling apart, messy and gross ones before. But not Ostrovitsky! It's buttery crumbly layer delicately holds back the gooey chocolate Center. The outer layer isn't too sugary which lets you enjoy the sweet middle without being overly sweet or overwhelming. Oh and did I mention one of them was a day old and I still devoured it! Grab yourself a good cup of strong coffee and grab a chocolate danish and let Brooklyn welcome you the only way it knows how, with good food! read more

This bakery gets high marks for outstanding treats. Their challah is delicious. However, anyone who enters this place has to accept the fact that they may be treated so-so by the counter women. Do not take it personal, they are curt with everyone, including the old-timers who clearly know the song-and-dance and treat them equally poorly. Fridays are super busy and patience runs thin all around. Know what you're ordering in advance, say "thank you" and "please", don't be overly excited or ask questions, avoid other niceties. I'm proud to say that I've walked out with a yummy treat, content that I didn't get into an argument or felt offended. read more

Two weeks later I never received an email from them that my order was shipped. I called the place and find out, that my order was never shipped!!! That order was a Chanukah present for someone! After all, they just asked me, if I still want my order to be delivered or I want my money back....
