They wouldn't let me use the bathroom even though I was going to have a sit down breakfast

absolutely have nothing bad to say about this bakery! This place is extremely cozy and inviting. i've been able to come here on a sunday morning and stay a few hours to study, especially because of their free wifi. workers are great and you can tell the owner cares. I tried three of their lattes and I loved each and every one of them. currently the honey oat latte is my favorite. I have yet to try that bacon egg and cheese sandwich but I have tried their PDQ and it is pretty tasty. read more

Padoca Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

I live a-crossed the street from here and have been in a handful of times. The staff is always really nice. There is a few chairs to wait in or have your treat as well as a small back patio. As for the food, the bacon, eggs, and cheese is good but heavy, you could probably split it between two people. The best muffin I've ever had was from here, the cinnamon crunch, however the banana chocolate chip was a little dry. I don't love the drinks, specifically the matcha just tastes like milk. Unfortunately there is usually a 5 minute wait for food as well, feel like it could be a bit quicker. Over all yummy treats here with great staff, would recommend for a yummy baked good. read more

A cute Brazilian bakery with very kind staff! Their honey oat latte was soo good and the made to order ham egg and cheese PDQ breakfast sandwich made my morning. They also have limited seating and wi-fi so will definitely come back another weekday morning to work or read! - came back later to do work on a sunday and it was busy around lunchtime, tried vanilla bean latte which was very very sweet but yummy read more

I ate from here and ordered there cakes and cookies from here. It was all a hit! I tried their coffee and pastries, which were great. I ate in their cute little patio they have in the back. I had a baptism pink cake which was decorated with pink crosses and also pink cross cookies, my guests all loved it! The service is great and they had my order ready for pick up on the day requested. I will be placing another order from them in the future, to be a returning customer! read more

Padoca Bakery - PDQ Brazilian Cheese Bread & a latte - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

We love Padoca Bakery! We've used them for my daughter's birthday cake the last two years because she has an egg allergy and both times has been amazing! Not only does the cake still taste good but they look amazing! The service is also amazing. I usually create a customer order and communicate via email with Megan and she is just the best! She was so helpful in giving me some great options to decide from based on what my daughter likes and the amount of kids we were serving. I would recommend this bakery every time. Multiple people have asked where I got the cake from as well. read more

Padoca is such a cute bakery! The space is bright, has seating in the back, and a local shop corner up front to support other small UES businesses! I ordered a vanilla bean latte, and the PDQ bacon egg and cheese sandwich. The latte was amazing and I absolutely will be coming back for coffee drinks! I think the price for what you get is great. I was a bit underwhelmed at the PDQ bacon egg and cheese though, for almost $12 to only have one egg on the sandwich, it left me feeling hungry after. The breakfast sandwich is about 90% bread and 10% filling - which to be fair it's made with their delicious house PDQ. However, since one PDQ is priced at $3.85, it's surprising that $7.90 is left for one egg, cheese, and a piece and a half of bacon. read more

Incredible birthday cake. My wife had a big 30th bday celebration, so I knew I couldn't screw up. I spent an hour or so scouting the best bakeries the upper east side has to offer and Padoca really stood out to me. They had attractive, simple designs at a great price point. Ordering was a breeze -- I only wish we had clarified what color the decorative writing would be in. Everyone at the party, especially the bday girl, loved the cake. It was chocolatey and moist, also not too sweet. The sprinkles were a great touch too. Ordering again for sure! read more

Yum! I got a plain PDQ and it was so yummy--tasted fresh and had an amazing contrast of textures. The chewy interior was so satisfying, and I loved the lightly salty cheese flavor. Would definitely get again! Also tried some of my sister's PDQ with ham, egg, and cheese and it was delicious! Would definitely return to this cute shop for more :) read more

TL; DR: The *sweetest* little smash cake! I stumbled upon this bakery on Instagram and instantly fell in love with their vibe and offerings! My babygirl was turning 1-year-old in less than one week, and although I had a birthday party planned for a few weeks later -- I completely spaced on getting her a little cake to smash at home! Padoca Bakery, to the rescue! I was able to browse their smash cake selections via their super user-friendly website (which is a HUGE DEAL to me as a busy toddler mama of two.) I also loved that there were options for icing color, cake flavor, and cake filling. For such an important occasion, I appreciated being able to have a small say in this aspect, even without being present to place the order in person. Since I live out of delivery range, I scheduled pick-up for baby girl's actual birthday and picked it up without a hitch. The bakery itself is very cute, customer service was top tier, and you can just feel that it's a sweet neighborhood spot. Needless to say, my daughter loved her cake and I even recommended Padoca to a friend (my due date twin!) whose babygirl also turned one a few days later. Thank you Padoca! I'll be back soon :) read more

Padoca Bakery is a wonderful addition to the Upper east side. As it has been open now for a while I have not been in alot of times. This coffee shop is not jist your typical one. In the front of the store they sell cute decorations for birthdays and have delicious treats. They also have items for dogs. I got a pack of the mini cupcakes as you see in my photos and they were delightful. I also got cute st.patricks day cookie and an Iced Cappuccino which was tasty. This coffee shop/bakery is known for their PDQ Brazilian Cheese bread, which I have not yet had. read more

This place is so lovely! They have so many delicious baked goods and are one of the few places you can get Brazilian cheese bread on the go! The staff is friendly and the cheese bread is good. Highly recommend! Good amount of seating too. I also got the cookie butter latte but it was a bit disappointing. The cookie butter was not incorporated at all so honestly the flavor didn't come through at all. The espresso also tasted a bit burnt. read more

Padoca has the biggest scones and I love the Cranberry. I want everything they make truthfully. There's a patio in the back to sit when I eat. It's just a cozy cafe with delicious items. The employees are on the ball as soon as I walk in the door. I always have to stop in when I walk past. Everything is so tempting!! I recommend you visit asap! read more

I came here with my two kids and husband on a chilly Sunday morning. Not too busy. I was greeted with a smiling friendly face I believe her name was Sasha. Great customer service. The iced latte with oat milk was incredible, as was the Brazilian cheese bread. 10/10 local spot, a must try in New York. read more

Padoca is such a cute bakery on the UES! Everyone that works there is so noticeably kind! The interior is so cute and so much fun to sit down and eat or read a book, and better yet they have An amazing patio in the back! The Bacon egg and cheese is really really good! It is $10 but I think I should have only eaten half because it's so dense and rich but good! The scone was also really good and massive! Coffee was good, not dying to come back for the coffee but if I'm there I'll get it! The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the Taylor swift chai cookies a while back. read more

the pumpkin cake they have right now is amazing, perfectly cinnamon-y and perfect for fall.

BEST COOKIES IN NYC! A hill I will die on every time. The chocolate chip cookie changed my life. It is soft, chewy, with a crispy edge.

Very nice find in the UES / Yorkville! Cute interior and extra bonus points for the outdoor garden set up in the back. The service was very friendly and took time to explain the menu to me and my boyfriend. They also have cute birthday decorations from small local businesses at the front of the store. We enjoyed the ham egg and cheese sandwich and a latte. I'll be back! read more

I was surprised with a delicious holiday cake. It was perfectly tasty good. I recommend taking time out for this treat

This is the new second location on UES. Close to trains by 86 St and 1st Ave. The PDQ (cheese bread) is really good. Crispy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside. It's good hot on it's own or they also have it as a sandwich. I'll have to try those. For sweets, I got the coconut macaroon. It had good coconut flavors. Although if you weren't craving it, I would get another PDQ. That is so good. Makes you want more. read more

I wanted to surprise my parents, who live on the Upper East Side, with a gender reveal cake for their future grandchild. I ordered the 4" gender reveal cake - vanilla cake and vanilla mascarpone. Padoca Bakery offers this as a standard order cake, which allowed me to order online. Their pricing was very competitive, compared to custom order cakes at nearby bakeries. Padoca Bakery both emailed and called when my cake was ready for pickup. The staff were very friendly in the store. The 4" cake was sufficient for 4-5 people to have a large slice. The quality was very good. read more

Yum yum yum. Their brigadeiros are so good and their pao de quiejo (PDQ) are AMAZING. The size of the cheesy breads are twice the size of usual places and are SUPER good. Highly recommend asking for a warm one - they keep a good supply warm and toasty! read more

October 25.2025. Got here today around 4:45. Asked them for the ghost latte that's been viral and they said sorry we don't make espresso drinks after after 4:45 because it delays our closing time.. first of all got there just in time and I tried to call them before hand but they have no number online which is unprofessional and then on the menu it said they turn any iced drink into a ghost latte and then I said okay ill do another iced drink if you can make that into a ghost latte and I chose the cold brew and she said no we can't. He was making a ghost drink while I was standing there for another customer too but for some reason they couldn't make me one... they didn't deserve my business but I still got the cold brew anyways because I drove one hour for this bakery. Couldn't even accommodate me. The cold brew was also disgusting, he literally threw cold brew and barely any milk. Never again. All this is for looks tasteless drinks wouldn't recommend. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood Padoca! We are so glad you are here. The PDQs are a must have! They are made cassava flour and cheese. They also had a gluten free banana chocolate chip bread that was yummy too! They do have some drinks on their menu, but I haven't tried yet, my mouth is too busy savoring the cheesy, fluffy, warm goodness of the PDQs. read more

Cute new spot on the ues. They are known for their PDQs which as I was told is a cheesy biscuit like bun baked fresh and used to make sweet or savory sammie. Friendly staff, prices are up there but if you're going for a treat once in a while you can support a local business. I had a PDQ with guava filling. It was very sweet but certainly tasted the guava. I don't know how cheesy the PDQ was by itself but it was a yummy fresh treat. read more

Absolutely adorable, dog-friendly bakery! I love that they welcome my pup whenever I dine in and are laid back about staying a while when I'm there chatting with a friend. They also have a little outdoor seating area which is a great place to enjoy a nice day. The cookie butter latte and the guava brigadeiro are great for the occasional decadent treat. Their baked goods are pretty good, but my go-tos are the PDQ with guava jam, or the BEC on a PDQ during their breakfast hours. Sometimes a bit greasy, but it's scrumptious cheesy bread so I expect that, and it has a great crust. I've also tried their orange olive oil loaf which is also yummy, though a tad too oily. I'll be back again and again with my fluffer, Wonton, to try all their goodies! I also love the local doggo goods at the front by the adorable smeg. read more

Been going to Padoca ever since they had their original spot in the 70s, so when they opened up near my apartment I was so happy. And I've found that sometimes a walk to Padoca and getting their pao de queijo (PDQ as they call it) is the perfect way to kick off your day. I've always taken my PDQs to-go, but I've always noticed a nice garden in a back. Staff is always super nice and they don't rush you. If it's helpful, I've gotten one or two PDQs to get me through to lunch. read more

Such a cute cafe. Very delish cupcakes and super nice people serving you. Great tasting coffee but they may have made an oat milk latte with regular milk. This upset my partner's stomach today. We will definitely give them another try and update this review read more

The cheesy breads (Pao de Queujo, PDQ) just BANGS, from crunchy outer shell to warm, pillowy interior. It is surprisingly dense and hefty for it size, and satisfyingly savory and addictive. This location is cute, with a brightly lit and welcoming ambiance (although there isn't a ton of seating) that encourages small gatherings. Will definitely back to try some of their other baked goods. read more
