Bookmark to try their cardamon bun while vacationing in NY since I do enjoy trying them ! It was a bit dry for me so I didn't care for it !
Otway Bakery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, has some really tasty baked goods! Everything we tried was delicious. We had the savory twist, ham & cheese croissant, Portuguese tart, and kouign-amann. Each one was fresh and flavorful. The service was also really nice and great. We had a wonderful experience!
Came on a Sunday at noon and there was a short line inside, but it moved quickly. Morning bun is absolutely perfect - 5 stars for that alone. Cardamom bun is also great!
I've walked past this bakery many times and usually see a line outside so I was curious to see what it's about. I was lucky not to find a line there today, but would totally queue for those scrumptious pastries in the future! They have the yummiest selection and while I wish I could have tried them all, I had to choose and opted for the Tomato and Ricotta Danish along with the Cardamom Bun. Both were exquisite!! I was particularly excited about the Tomato Ricotta Danish. I love savory pasties but generally feel like they're not as widely available and often tend to be try/underwhelming. But not here! This little danish was soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Extra brownie points for good coffee and allowing my dog inside while I order. This might be my new favorite bakery around here!!
Everything at otway blew us away! We shared the savory bun (it had cheese, mushrooms, and onions that morning), the cardamom bun, and the morning bun. The morning bun is a must get!!! The texture is incredible and it is so wonderfully flavored w a nice crunch from the sugar - such a treat! The other two items were also fantastic. I was also very much a fan of the coffee, which had a nutty flavor and just the right amount of strength. Can't wait to come back!
Definitely one of my favourite bakeries in America so far. If you see a line outside, don't sweat it. it moves fast and it's totally worth it. My boyfriend and I love love love the kimchi savoury bun the most. Didn't see these too often on days I have visited, but if you bump into a cruller donut there, GET IT! To die for!
Cute little bakery on the corner. There is only a front of shop and the line forms out the door. I've heard they sell out quick, so you need to get there early! Clean interior with a partially open kitchen visible from the front desk. Multiple pastries on display but there were more on a baking rack....definitely ask if you don't see it at first! Ordered 3 pastries, the Pain Suisse was our favorite. Cardamom bun close second. Strawberry danish still delicious!
Otway Bakery has a delightful selection of baked goods! The cardamom is what brought me here, though it leans a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. Still, it's quite enjoyable and crafted beautifully (chefs kiss!!) I also appreciated their Middle Eastern-inspired treats, like the zaatar focaccia, which was packed with flavor and perfectly baked. Everything is made in-house, which really adds to the freshness and quality of what they offer. The bakery has an open layout so you can even see them making all the fresh baked goods they offer in the back. Someone recommended id try their baguettes so I will be back for them and to explore more of their menu. A definite must-try for anyone who loves creative, well-crafted pastries!
Came in on a rainy Sunday and most of the pastries were sold out. We ordered the crueller, hot chai latte and the special of the day (brioche french toast with raspberry jam and almonds crust). The crueller was deliciou - super soft, well glazed and melts in your mouth! It was so good we ordered some more to go. The special of the day (brioche french toast with raspberry jam and almonds crust) was good too. It tasted like a french toast croissant fusion. The hot chai latte was good too - tasted more potent if u stir it more.
Yet another amazing bakery in Downtown Brooklyn, more specifically in Prospect Heights. The place is small but has pretty hefty variety of savory and sweet backing goods, some of which are pretty unique. I really liked from the savory offering kimchi bun and from the sweets is peach Danish. The croissants are one of the most delicious that I was ever had. Also they have seriously good coffee, I mean like really really good with a bold flavor without being overturned. The place is quite popular so expect some line standing especially in the morning, especially on a weekend. I definitely will be back for more.
Otway is by far my favorite bakery in the city and honestly the place I spend the most money. I've tried most of their sweet pastries and they are all soooo good and reasonably priced for the city. I usually devour them before I can take a picture. Some of the pastries are regulars, but others like the sticky bun seem to be sold on rotation so when I see them, I have to get one. If you don't get here somewhat early (before 12pm), most of the good pastries will probably be gone. Also, I've noticed long lines on the weekends but it's usually not too bad on the weekdays. The one downside is sometimes the iced lattes have so much ice that they're gone in seconds but that's also the case with most cafes I suppose. In terms of service, it's gotten much better. The baristas before were not the friendliest but the ones there lately have been nice :) Overall, I'd 10/10 recommend if you're in the area!
My neighborhood bakery! There is almost always a line out the door, but the best feeling is grabbing some pastries when the line is short. Recently, they've been having a ricotta-tomato-basil danish....man I dream about it all the time. They do a good balance of savory and sweet pastries, including the Parmesan nori twist, the cardamom bun, savory danish, mini babka, kouign amann, and others. It is a small, cute bakery and i love that you can see the bakers in the back of the shop working hard to make delicious treats. Not sure if I would wait in long lines for the pastries, but it is definitely a delicious treat!
I really wanted to love and support this bakery. The presentation and facade is so wonderful, but unfortunately the service and treatment of customers is deeply disappointing. I spent a couple hundred dollars supporting their Kickstarter campaign to launch. The promised thank you was a brunch for 4. I never received the brunch, so I reached out to Otway by phone and email. After a few emails, I was told certificates were mailed out. I said I have not received mine, but since then I have not received any response despite multiple emails and calls. I would be happy to update this once rectified, but in my eyes, any restaurant that is so disrespectful to its initial backers deserves a poor review.
This French inspired local bakery sits in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NYC. My ulterior motive for a morning visit was to attain cruller prior to my two morning meetings in Brooklyn, NYC. Disappointedly, to no available thus I decided one ham and cheese croissant. Although, my second choice was chocolate chip cookie which seemingly also appeared to no available either. There was a line that spewed outdoors waiting to order. The ordering and checkout line moves like a sloth. This is a small brick and mortar bakery with no seating as its purpose is for order and takeout. There is one small self-serve condiment and napkin station. There is a menu posted legible and big lettering on a wall. There is a small selection of retail merchandise as greeting cards, long bandanas and baseball caps. The cards are seemingly appear average design. I would purchase cards that are scenic seaside landscape or nostalgia winter picturesque paintings by Maud Lewis, Canadian folk artist. Ham and cheese croissant $6.00 was paucity for the miniscule ham and cheese imbedded. The size of the croissant was also miniscule. It tasted average and very oily. This croissant pastry was flaky. I am enamored with pastries. I was really looking forward for cruller to fill my morning. No comment for the beverages as I did not order any. Customer service was average as expected. I did attained my sales receipt. read more

Great local bakery. The house sourdough is outstanding. You can't go wrong with any of the pastries either. The gingerbread and love cake are standouts. The only downside is the drinks are just ok - the chai latte I had was fine. read more
I tried Otway Bakery during a recent NYC visit, and it made me want to go back the next time in town. I noted that the bakery is a separate storefront that is close to the Otway cafe at the street corner. I went during a late weekday morning, so the supply of baked goods was limited. However, I snagged a morning bun, which came with a lot of flaky layers and a nice dusting of sugar. There is some limited indoor seating, and I was able to get a chair at the counter. My cup of drip coffee was also good, and I would love to try other pastries on their menu in the future (my sense is that you want to get their on the earlier side to take advantage of their full selection). read more

A quintessential Clinton Hill local gem - big thanks to Otway creating a space dedicated to their insane baked goods, just a few doors down from their main restaurant. The neighborhood's commitment to these baked goods are too real - you're either waiting in line at prime time or picking from a limited line up by the time it's 11 AM. Don't get me wrong, nearly everything here is worth indulging in, but the sell outs are *so* good, I recommend you pull up extra early to snag. Standout orders: - Poppyseed sourdough loaf: arguably THE BEST sourdough loaf I've had...EVER. Am a sourdough baker myself, but having easy access to Otway's loaf has resulted in pure negligence towards my own starter...no regrets yet. - Cardamom Bun: this bun of twisted soft bread strands and warm spice are having a moment in NYC and I'm here for it. If you're on the search for the best in the city - or if you're looking for an introductory - add Otway's as a must try, top contender. - Coffees & Chai: all great. Food: 5/5 Service/Speed: 5/5 Price (college student budget): $ Ambiance: Grab & go with some tables in the front Would return & recommend? 5/5 read more

The pastries here are consistent, high quality and not overly sweet. It's easy to over sugar the pallet when trying multiple yummy sweets at any place, but at Otway Bakery each pastry seems to ride the line of 40/60 savory sweet which in my opinion is perfect. This allows for a more full sensory satisfaction of each product. This time I tried the Babka Mini, Cardamom Bun, and Strawberry Danish. Each was extraordinary in its own way. The Babka being crispy yet soft on the inside with just the right amount of chocolate. The cardamom bun was soft sweet and spicy to balance the sugar. The danish however is my new favorite, the strawberry filling paired with pistachio was a home run combo. Can't wait to come back and enjoy more. read more
