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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small brick and mortar bakery with no seating as its purpose is for order and takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is some limited indoor seating, and I was able to get a chair at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

Otway Bakery - Morning Bun with Coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pastries here are excellent and the coffee is really solid as well. As someone who's just moved into the area, I was so happy to discover such a nice bakery nearby. We tried an orange lemon curd pastry, a pistachio almond one (my fave), and the scallion chili crisp twist was soooo flavorful. There's such a great variety and I will absolutely be returning until I've tried everything on the menu! read more

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!! read more

I loove a good cardamom bun and Otway makes a great one! There was a bit of a line at 10am on a Saturday but it moved pretty quickly. Their breads and other pastries were really tasty too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely neighborhood spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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! read more

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! read more

I was craving a savory pastery, and a good one is hard to come by - but today I hit the jackpot. Choosing between the kimchi savory bun and the turnip cauliflower Ricotta Danish was hard but I opted for the latter and it did not disappoint! I also snagged a morning bun (which I've heard great things about) and the crispy buttery sugary goodness was out if this world. Service was cheery and the pasteries lived up to the hype - will be back to try more... read more

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! read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bakery has an open layout so you can even see them making all the fresh baked goods they offer in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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. read 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is quite popular so expect some line standing especially in the morning, especially on a weekend[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I definitely will be back for more. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not sure if I would wait in long lines for the pastries, but it is definitely a delicious treat! read more

Otway Bakery - Parmesan Nori Twist, Ricotta Tomato Danish, Cardamom bun - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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! read more

Otway Bakery - Sticky bun, kimchi bun - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I would rate Otway four and a half stars. One of the best selections of savory pastries. We shared the cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and Gruyère danish as well as the zatar and goat cheese pastry. Would love to have this spot nearby to stop in for a super quick breakfast or lunch. We also had a salted chocolate chip cookie with some interesting seasoning. It might have had nuts or seeds in it, but I'm not sure. I preferred the savory items to the cookie. Make sure to come earlier as I've passed by in the afternoon to find them sold out or nearly sold out a few times. read more

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. 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

Truly a gem of a bakery! One of the best in NY. Can't go wrong with any of their pastries. Everything is spot on and baked to perfection. The pastries are crispy and flaky. The coffee is a great accompaniment. Definitely a must visit for all good bakery fans! 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

Quality ! In all aspects . Ingredients, freshness , taste ! Great variety of sweet and savory, Fairly priced . Don't push beyond noon ..... The good (and most) stuff - Morning . Highly recommended! Definitely A Destination! read more

Ok, I'm just absolutely addicted to this place. Such a great bakery in the neighborhood. Highly HIGHLY recommend the 'savory bun' which is a bun STUFFED with caramelized onion. DROOL! I keep craving this and coming back. I also like their cardamom bun and mini babka. Honestly, I haven't had anything bad here. I just got a half loaf, so I'm interested in using some of their fresh bread. I love that they also sell cheese so you're set up to grab a baguette and cheese and head to the park! So cute! The coffee is pretty good too! Service is fast and efficient. There is often a line around 9am but it goes quickly. There's a few bar seats inside and a few outside tables but this is definitely more of a grab & go. Delicious and a must stop in the neighborhood. 5/5 read more

Overall 4.5! Got a few pastries to try - favorite was the savory twist. Was generously covered in zataar and baked feta and really crispy and light croissant dough Also tried the cruller (not bad! T likes daily provision more. A little bit more dense than DP), cardamom bun (very good cardamom flavor but dough was a bit dense). Line took about 10 min on a Sunday around 10am read more

Oh, I'm super happy I found Otway Bakery. I'd never heard of it and I just sort of ran into it while running an errand in the neighborhood (Cobble Hill). They have this mini babka, that's not min at all. Oh so good!!! And the coffee was really great. I just had a drip coffee and it was perfect. read more

The pastries are delicious! The staff are consistently foul and unpleasant! Very perplexing.

Great spot to pick up some pastries, perhaps a loaf of bread and even some fun charcuterie and cheese. Lots of freshly baked delicious options and good coffee as well. read more

Got the chocolate croissant- perfectly flaky and soft. Coffee was great too! Would come again! read more

Delicious bread but limited selections. Only two types of loaf breads offered. I tried the basic sourdough loaf and it was good. But the pastries are very expensive; good but expensive. read more

Otway Bakery (near Otway) serves some of the best pastries in NYC. If you like Mel in Manhattan or Bench Flour in Astoria, this is another destination worthy place for pastries. Highly recommend the ham and cheese croissant in the morning bun. The creuller and the savory twist we're also delicious. Can't wait to return! read more

Hands down, best cardamom bun in the city. I am excited to try the other pastries........

It's a small shop with wonderful pastries and breads. They open around 8a (you need to get there within that hour to have lots of choices) but the line outside was soooo slow! The selection tends to be a bit sparse a couple of hours after opening as they run out of items pretty quickly. I understand that it doesn't make sense for them to bake more than they can sell. I just don't have the time to wait 20+ minutes waiting when there are other great bakeries nearby with faster service. Five stars for the goods minus one for the slow service. read more

Delicious pastries and bread. There's usually a line for a reason.
