First time coming in person (I have been spoiled and a fantastic coworker would bring in different treats from here on occasion). The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift. read more

Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy. I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :) read more

Food was really good! The sandwich was really fresh and the focaccia was crispy and light. The blueberry croissant was also very crisp and despite there being a jam in the center, it wasn't soggy at all. There was a line around the block but it moved relatively quickly and there were still a lot of options when we got in. Worth the wait in my opinion. read more

I went to Radio Bakery and loved it. I think it's fun that they rotate pastries seasonally. I got the turkey pesto sandwich and it was yummy. I also got the peanut butter and jelly pastry which was rich and fluffy. The blueberry corn pastry was good as well. I wish the bakery was closer but I'll definitely make a trip back out again! read more

Radio Bakery - Turkey pesto sandwich and blueberry corn pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food: This is a well-known and very popular bakery in Brooklyn. They offer a variety of savory sandwiches as well as pastries, cookies, and sweets. Sandwiches include rosemary butter and ham, tuna fish, roast beef, burrata and prosciutto, and more. We tried the roast beef with chimichurri, a blueberry pastry, and pistachio croissant. All three items were high quality and delicious! Items are a bit pricey (those three items totaled about $37), but the quality definitely justifies the prices. All of the baked goods were beautiful and looked perfect. If you are in Greenpoint, I would recommend you stop by this bakery. Service: Staff are extremely friendly, pleasant, and welcoming. I was still deciding when it was my turn in line, and all staff members were patient and encouraged me to take my time. Ambiance: The bakery is small with about four counter seats along the window, but there are plenty of tables and chairs set up outside. There's nothing special about the ambiance, but it's a nice place to hang out and enjoy your sandwich or pastry. Overall, I would highly recommend this bakery! read more

This place definitely lives up to the hype! The food here is amazing, and when I say food, I mean more than just the baked goods. Starting off with the baked goods, the brown butter corn cake may be the single best pastry I've had in my life. It has a great crispy exterior and a super moist and decadent interior that just makes it the best pastry you could ever ask for. I also think they have one of the best chocolate chip cookies in the city, and their cinnamon roll is light yet executed perfectly. In addition to their pastries, their sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is this chili crisp tofu sandwich. It is packed with great flavor, perfectly tender tofu, and is layered between two pieces of delicious bread. I also love their arugula burrata prosciutto sandwich that is paired so nicely with their focaccia, making each bite the ultimate experience. While I've never waited in a really long line, I can say that they do move pretty efficiently. Unfortunately, there isn't much room to eat inside, but on a nice day, if you can grab a table outdoors, it's a great experience in the lovely Greenpoint neighborhood. read more

Radio Bakery is probably the only bakery I'll happily wait in line for again and again. It's also the kind of place where you can pick anything with your eyes closed and know it'll be good. We arrived at 9:45 and got the pastries at 10:30. The wait was longer because we had to wait for the specials to come out from the oven, otherwise we could've just skipped the line and ordered directly at the counter. ＊Mango Lassi Croissant $15 Simply amazing. Ngl a $15 croissant should be illegal...but I went speechless after the first bite. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY I am not even a huge mango lover like anybody does, but WOW this mango croissant was seriously the BEST mango pastry EVER. The pastry shell held flaky and crunchy, and the center was filled with a labneh cheesecake and mango gelee. We were surprised the filling wasn't liquid-y at all and held up well! We also tried the new Artichoke and Green Garlic Foccacia ($9), and the Fennel and Sausage Foccacia ($9). I get their foccacia slice every time I'm here and they never let me down. So pillowy and delicious. read more

Great great bakery and all the workers were so nice. You don't really eat inside and have tables outside Tried the prosciutto burrata sandwich and the tofu sandwich. There was basil in the first sandwich that cuts through the fattiness of the meat and cheese which was great. The second sandwich had this spicy sesame sauce which was so good - was not expecting to like the tofu one that much. Brown butter corn bread was the most moist one I've ever had and the top was so crispy. Rhubarb pastry was good but nothing special - didn't taste the rhubarb. read more

I've been seeing this spot all over social media so I was excited to check it out! I came on a weekend morning at 9:30 and waited 20-30min which wasn't bad at all. I thought it would take longer. The line did get longer when we were leaving though. I got the pesto focaccia, the earl grey morning bun and the brown butter corn cake. Everything was amazing! Highly recommend any of their focaccias, it's some of the best I've had. The morning bun was good but I couldn't taste much earl grey flavor. The brown butter corn cake was delicious! There are only a few tables outside but not many so you might need to take your baked goods to go. read more

Honestly I was suprised how unimpressed I was with this place considering what I've heard. Got there later, around 1PM so that could be part of it. I got a sandwich only cause everyone else had them... so average. Skip it next time. I also got an Earl grey bun that was mostly dry. The star of the show was the brown butter corn cake. So incredible. Would come back for that alone. The peach tea was also good. I added some vinilla syrup and loved it. read more

There's gonna be a line, but it will move fast! It was hard to pick, partly because you can't see past the people to look at the food and partly because everything looked amazing. I got the prosciutto, basil, and burrata sandwich. Wow. It's amazing. Highly recommend it. read more

Went with a big group so we got to try a lot of different things! On a Monday morning there was surprisingly a line down the block but it moved pretty quickly so I'd say it's worth it. When you get inside it can be pretty crowded and hectic so be ready to make quick decisions about what you want. Our favorites were all the focaccia breads for sure-especially the chive and sausage one. For the pastries my personal favorites were the earl grey morning bun which had a nice strong early grey flavor and good layers and crisp on the outside. The corn cake was also yummy and people said the plain croissant was very good. Would skip the cinnamon roll as there are better ones other places. read more

Totally worth the hype! The brown butter corn cake stole the show (it's everything all the other reviews say) but I really enjoyed everything else as well. The bacon egg and cheese focaccia could've been a little less salty for my preference but I still really liked it, the egg portion and the creaminess of the cheese were so well done! Pistachio croissant and earl grey morning bun were very flaky, delicious and not too sweet. I can't wait to get my hands on the brown butter corn cake again.. read more

One of the best bakeries I've been to! Everything we had was amazing, I could order multiple of everything and not get tired of it. We were initially drawn to Radio Bakery after they announced their weekend special of the mango lassi croissant. We saw online it's best to arrive prior to the 10am drop to get one, so we stood in line an hour before to ensure we'd get it. While waiting for the croissant to drop we ordered their brown butter corn cake, triple chocolate croissant and everything focaccia with scallion cream cheese. I LOVED the brown butter corn cake. It was a subtle sweetness and so moist and delicious. The focaccia sandwich was amazing as well. The bread tasted fresh and was so good with the scallion cream cheese. The triple chocolate croissant was incredible, and reminded me of a lighter brownie taste. Finally when 10am hit we ordered the mango lassi croissant. This was definitely the star of the show, the labneh cheesecake filling and mango flavor was an exact replica of a mango lassi. It was perfectly sweet and delicious. The best pastry I've had. All the employees were so friendly, and it was the perfect start to our Sunday. We will definitely be back! read more

Lucky me for coming here on a random weekday morning with no line at all. My absolute favorite pastry here is their French Onion Soup Tart ($8). It's so creamy and comforting just like French onion soup but on a flaky crust. Honestly, I need to pair this with actual French onion soup to dip into. The focaccia are also a must here. I decided to try the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Focaccia ($8.50) since I had their Lox one before already. If you're a lox lover, definitely get that one though --even better than a bagel! The BEC focaccia is very heavy though, so I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. But it will fill you up for a meal or two by itself. This is a good one for cheese lovers, but wish they cooked the bacon a bit more. Either way, I really enjoy all the pastries at Radio Bakery. They've really made a name for themselves and the hype is real. Come early on a weekday to avoid the line and share with a group so you can enjoy more items. read more

Everybody raves about Radio Bakery in Greenpoint. I came here twice during my most recent New York visit. First trip: I got lucky--came around 9:20am on a rainy cold winter Monday with slushy snow on the ground. There was no line when I entered, but after I made my order, I turned around and a line had exploded behind me. Tried these out with my morning tea and green smoothie. Unless otherwise noted, I took a few bites of each for breakfast, and saved the rest for later. 1. Earl grey morning bun ($6): I had no idea a bun could be this flaky with a delicious symphony of crackling crunchy skin. The earl grey flavor was strong, as a fan of earl grey tea, I can see why this is a best seller. Devoured this in one sitting. 2.Apple brown butter croissant ($7, seasonal): crunchy and delectable! Apples glisten like jewels in the middle. Not very sweet (which is good! That's an Asian compliment for sweets!), with some salt mixed into the sugar for salty and sweetness (more sweet though!). I had to put this down after a few bites so I could eat other pastries! 3. French onion soup croissant ($8, seasonal): aesthetically makes me think of egg tarts. Onion has perfect smooth texture atop a silky egg mix. As if an omelette and French onion soup and croissant had a threesome lol. Finished this in one sitting. 4. Scallion sesame twist: $6: I love scallions (I am Taiwanese after all), but this wasn't as crunchy as the other croissants. It was very soft, and not in a pillowy, decadent way. More meh. Very underwhelming after biting into the previous pastries. It tastes like something I can get at any Asian chain bakery. 5. Pistachio croissant: $8: I love pistachios in desserts (like Middle Eastern desserts), and this made me think of baklava in croissant form, minus the sticky mess from honey. I was surprised by how structurally sound the croissant is as I bit into it with a satisfying crunch, and the croissant exterior held firm, and the pistachios were surprisingly crunchy! The fluffy interior is green with strong pistachio flavor. 6. Black Forest croissant ($10): I saved this for last because it's the most dessert-y selection. This ended up being my least favorite one by far. I loved Black Forest cake as a kid, not so much as an adult, but I was curious to see how it tasted in croissant form. This was nice and firm, but it was super rich with chocolate, with a bit of cherry filling, which u wish there was more of. The cream on top was super thick and heavy, topped with a dark maraschino cherry. Too overwhelming for me, though I'm sure that's the appeal to some people. I had to take a few more bites from the scallion sesame twist as a palate cleanser. Second trip: Came at 7:37am on Dec 31, and the line already snaked out the door. Took me about 25 minutes from lining up to getting out the door. 1. Brown butter corn cake: one bite, and woah! It's crispy and crunchy, giving way to heavenly sweet brown butteriness in rich corn cake! Never had corn cake like this! 2. Passion fruit: This took Black Forest croissant's place. sweet, fruity, citrusy, not too overwhelming, and even though I don't care for cream, it wasn't too overwhelming. Topped with passion fruit seeds. Had to take a spoon and eat the filling, using the croissant as an edible bowl before devouring the crunchy dough. 3. Stollen bun: powdery explosion, it was underwhelming. The marzipan inside was quite sweet 4. Another French Onion croissant: just as good as the first time I tried it read more

There's a line down the block for a reason. Radio Bakery is a popular bakeshop in the Greenpoint area with delicious baked goods! Don't be deterred by the people. It's absolutely worth the wait. They have sweet treats in addition to delicious sandwiches so you can make it a complete meal! By the time we were there, they were already out of the smoked salmon sandwich I'd be eye-ing on Yelp, but we had a delicious prosciutto burrata sandwich and a cauliflower one. Both were on this crisp yet fluffy focaccia with thoughtful and flavorful seasonings! We also got a cookie and chocolate croissant that were out of this world. Take it around the block to the water and enjoy the perfect picnic! read more

Since I really enjoyed the heirloom tomato croissant the last time I went to Radio Bakery, I wanted to get it again so I went back in October guess what? They weren't selling them anymore since it's a summer seasonal item ;-; noooooooooo. I was devasted. But it's fine, I got three items I haven't tried from them instead; the maple sage breakfast sausage croissant, pistachio croissant, and cheesy pretzel bearclaw. I also got earl grey morning buns for my coworkers since I had them before and wanted them to taste how amazing they are. Here are my thoughts on the pastries! maple sage breakfast sausage croissant: Out of the three new pastries I tried that day, this was my least favorite. It might have been better warmed up but I just thought that the saltiness from the salt and sweetness from the maple sausage were too overpowering. I think the croissant itself was also coated in maple syrup so that made it even more sweeter. I had to drink lots of water right after. pistachio croissant: i heard mixed reviews for this item; some enjoy it while some think there's nothing special about it. personally, i LOVED it!!! the flavors were so balanced, not too sweet, not heavy, and definitely had just the right amount of pistachio filling. it's better to share with a friend or save some for later but i actually prefer this over the pistachio rose croissant from Librae Bakery. cheesy pretzel bearclaw: honestly, this lacked depth. there wasn't really much going on, i was expecting more flavor but it was more of a regular croissant pastry with subtle notes of cheese, pretzel, and mustard. if i was in the mood for a light pastry, i would choose this. but otherwise, this wouldn't be my first choice the next time i come here. read more

This was everything I could ever want in a bakery. They have such a wide variety of sweet and savory options. The wait was about ~30 mins on a Saturday morning (which honestly isn't even bad considering all the nyc lines I've stood in). My favorite pastry was the earl grey morning bun and my favorite menu item was the spicy tofu sandwich. read more

This place lived up to the hype. I came here around 11:15 on a Wednesday and was thrilled to find that the line was just a few folks deep. I stepped in and took a quick survey of what was left -- still plenty of focaccia sandwiches (though the salmon one I wanted was sadly not available), plus plenty of baked goods. This is definitely a grab and go type of place. Ambiance is hectic. I went with the black sesame scallion twist since I was feeling in more of a savory mood. It was everything I wanted it to be - flaky on the outside, soft and moist on the inside and packed with flavor. My friend let me try her pistachio croissant also, which was deliciously sweet and perfectly flavored. I would come again if I were in the area and if the line was manageable! read more

Let's start with my total $37 ($5.52 tip) for 2 items - the ($17) Turkey Kale Pesto Focaccia Sandwich & the daily special (was it really $14.50?) Beach Pie Croissant (basically a lemon-lime curd pie with a flaky crust). More like a 3.75 overall, 4.5 for the quality of the food. The 2 items I got were made SO well, fresh ingredients, you can taste every component of the item. Did a lot of Yelp & internet research so I wouldn't have ordering anxiety and I am very glad I landed on these 2 items (not going to waste my time on a brown butter corn cake!). Would've been even better if the pie croissant was the passionfruit one that they were selling last week. You really can't go wrong with food that's literally made hours before. Nothing was overly greasy or heavy - the (mostly) perfect ratios! The sandwich was a good generous portion. The bubbly focaccia was light but with medium texture. At first, I was annoyed that I got a corner piece, thinking that the edges would be tough - but it wasn't and actually made for some nice contrast. The kale was generally dressed (not sure what kind of dressing it had on it, it was decently oily) - LOVE a good kale salad. The only thing I would've liked would be a little bit more turkey and a tiny bit less pesto (got a bit salty 3/4 of the way through). The pesto was delicious though, very nutty. The circular "croissant" Beach Day was basically a lemon-lime meringue pie with a nice croissant layered "pie shell." The whole thing was a little TOO easy to Eat - the shell wasn't too hard or chewy, the custard really fresh with nice zest, a generous amount of meringue topping with fine zest and salted "sandy" cookie bits. I was in the area around 11:30 AM on a Saturday in January. There was a line of about 10 people out front (maybe 20 more inside) & it wasn't a bad wait at all! About 10-15 minutes. When you get inside, it's basically a zig-zag line to the counter. Their staff is efficient! & also very friendly. The shop is on the same block as the G Subway entrance & really not too hard to get to (or by B62) even though social media says it's "deep in Brooklyn" - it's just Greenpoint/Williamsburg! My review is 3.75 because it's basically a to-go only shop. There's a few small tables set up outside on the sidewalk, but it's also 16°F outside and overall, isn't the best ambience (all year) next to a busy line. And the 3.75 is for the price point!! $$ which is just extremely high. Yes, they had a huge staff working & baking there & I'm sure rent is high. But is a $17 sandwich & $14 pastry worth it? (I don't think S-permoon B-kehouse or S-omeday B-kery is this expensive). The regular flavored croissants at Radio are $7-8 each, which is more comparable to those shops. LOOK at the tiny corner of the display signs for the prices. Go slow! FYI The payment screen at checkout automatically lands on 22%. 20% & 18% are options also. IDK the food was very tasty & held up (ate it 25 minutes later at home) & I was expecting higher than normal prices, but this is very high & unfortunately a one time visit for me... unless that passionfruit pastry comes back! read more

I think the key to Radio Bakery's success is their creativity and execution. Flavor combinations are elite and delivered deliciously! Their seasonal menu of sandwiches and pastries always have people coming back! Despite the long lines, they actually move pretty quick. I do recommend getting their early and planning ahead of where you'd be eating since they only have a handful of outdoor tables. They do have a couple of parks and cute streets nearby. Staff are polite and efficient. The turkey, basil pesto, and marinated kale always hits. I love the balance between protein and veggie, the herbaciousness and freshness of the basil pesto, and the combo of savoriness, some fats/oils, and a hint of citrus. Their focaccia bread is always very fluffy and chewy with a nice crunch on the outside! The burrata, fresh basil, and prosciutto gives similar vibes with a well-rounded sandwich. The burrata was fresh and ratio of cheese, meat, to herb was appropriate. The roasted beef and radicchio was another interesting combination. The radicchio conferred a slight bitterness that balanced the slight sweet and tang from the sauce and saltiness of the beef/chimichurri. For pastries, their seasonal rhubarb custard tart was a great mix of melty, creamy custard with a sweet and slightly tangy rhubarb stem. The asparagus croissant and bear claw were both savory pastries that were very solid and flaky. Pistachio orange croissant and earl grey morning bun were very tasty with their respective flavors. read more

Just learned about this place yesterday and yeah... I get the hype now. Got the burrata sandwich; super fresh, soft bread, and the burrata was doing what it needed to do. Creamy but so good. Also grabbed a few baked goods: - gf brown sugar corn muffin... lowkey my favorite. Soft, slightly sweet, didn't even feel gluten-free. - earl grey morning bun -- light, flaky, and had that subtle tea flavor without being too much. Everything felt fresh and made with care. Definitely going back. read more

Wow. I'm not a huge fan of bakeries, but the food I got here was amazing. I got a bit lucky, coming on a snow day on Sunday morning, so there was no line (although it was still a little busy). All the baked goods here looked fantastic, but I settled on the Mushroom Focaccia and the Apple Brown Butter Croissant. The focaccia was super soft and tasted super fresh!

Finally got to try Radio Bakery after seeing videos on them for months! It's quite a small space with a few tables outside. I cam at around 10:30 on a weekday and it wasn't busy, but later on there was a lot of foot traffic. French onion soup croissant: 9/10 This was amazing and I'm so glad it was on the menu when I went. The pastry was super flakey and buttery, and the filling was rich but didn't give me flavor fatigue. That onion on top gave it a nice texture and sweetness. It was cold when I got it but it was still good! Brown butter corn cake: 6/10 This is one of their most popular items but I was a bit disappointed. The outside was hard and the inside felt underbaked and mushy. The flavor was still really good, but I think I may have gotten it on a bad day? They had such an insane selection of pastries that I had a hard time choosing. Definitely get one of their croissants! read more

I've heard so much about Radio Bakery, and I'm afraid to say, this is one of those overly hyped establishments that doesn't live up to the buzz... I came during Thanksgiving weekend, so the line was brief. I tried two items: the ham and rosemary butter sandwich and the cheese bear claw. While the sandwich was decent, the bear claw was disappointing. All of the cheese leaked out of it, leaving nothing inside. And like I said, the sandwich was decent but not amazing. Just ordinary. I would give this place a second chance, maybe try some of their sweets, but if rumors of their long lines are to be believed, then I wouldn't bother to stand and wait. read more

This place has no inside seating, a couple tables outside, the line is most likely out the door, no bathrooms and it will be pricey. In my mind, this place is worth it. We are talking about high quality ingredients, seasonal flavors, attention to details and lots of butter. I mainly am treat and coffee focused. Maybe one day I will do a sandwich but not today. The line is long and it gets longer. It goes fast. If you are patient, it's worth it. If you are a native New Yorker like my boyfriend, maybe find another spot. These are not massive portions. And he does not like lines. But he did enjoy the chocolate peanut croissant I ordered. I have literally never had a bad bite. The Brown Butter Apple was perfection. I feel like NY is full of lines and not are all worth it. When it comes to this place, come early. I did come on an off day and it was still nuts. I feel like a kid in the candy store. All the croissant variations are bomb and also the danish items. I look forward to sink my teeth into new flavors but next time sans baby boo. read more

I've heard so much about this spot but never got the chance to go until recently. We went on a Monday morning around 11am, and there wasn't much of a wait but it was still packed inside nonetheless. They have a window bar for you to enjoy your pastries at, otherwise, all seating is outside. We got their croissant, earl grey morning bun, apple brie croissant, and their roast beef sandwich. Everything was delicious. The favorite of the day was definitely the apple brie croissant--which I did not expect to like as much as I did. I loved how fragrant the tea flavor was in the earl grey morning bun, and loved how crispy it was. The croissant was also an all-around standard great croissant, and the roast beef sandwich was a heart lunch bite. Even though the pastries weren't warmed up, I thought they were so good and I would love to come back to try others! read more

Such a disappointment. Glad I went on a Tuesday morning at 9 AM when there were maybe a handful people inside and all the tables were available. Salmon Foccacia was cold and hard. Had to literally chew the hell out of it. Earl grey morning bun was cold as well. Brown butter cornbread - again cold, dry and way too sweet. Only thing decent was the black forest croissant which was honestly just ok but better than the rest. So many 4-5 star reviews mention that these things are actually dry and better warmed up so why can't the bakery serve warm items to patrons who want to sit and eat on the spot especially if they cost anywhere between $10-$12 per item. That's the least they can do if they are charging an outrageous amount for something you can get for 1/2 the price elsewhere. People who say that the smoked salmon focaccia is out of this world or the brown butter cornbread is the best thing to touch their mouth are probably living in a bubble. To say this is one of the best bakery in a city like NYC full of amazing bakeries is an abomination. I honestly don't understand if you open at 7:30 AM and I am there at 9 AM how is everything so cold, dry and hard? $60 down the drain. Well, at least I didn't stand in line for two hours. read more

I stopped by on a Monday mid-morning, and there was no line! Staff is also super friendly and efficient. There are a few people behind the counter grabbing pastries to get you ready for the cashier, so the process moved pretty quickly. Perhaps their sweet pastries are better, but the Cheesy Bearclaw I had was just alright. The dough was flakey and there was a bit of mustard as a filling, which I thought was fun and inventive. However, it was a bit dry. I would come back to try some of the sweet pastries and lunch sandwiches, since that is what they are known for! I think the idea of the Cheesy Bearclaw was thoughtful, but unfortunately, I wasn't extremely impressed by the execution. read more

Radio Bakery absolutely delivers on pastries and sandwiches. They're genuinely excellent across the board. The downside? TikTok has fully blown this place up. Weekend mornings mean a 30 min wait. Aside from some sidewalk spots, it's a grab and go place. I've tried most of the pastries. My favorites: ** Brown butter corn cake - Easily the standout. Deeply nutty from the brown butter, with a crisp edge and soft, moist crumb. Sweet but not too much, just a really well-balanced bite. ** Cheese bear claw - A savory twist on the classic. Flaky layers packed with sharp, melty cheese. ** Rhubarb + custard - Bright, tart rhubarb shines, cuts cleanly through the creamy custard. Not overly sweet. ** Pistachio croissant - pistachio filling that doesn't overwhelm. ** Apple brown butter croissant - exactly how it sounds ** Fennel + sausage focaccia read more

It was love at first buttery, flakey crunch from a fig, strawberry, and blueberry topped danish, replete with an airy and sweet cream from Radio Bakery's Greenpoint location. The hoards of pastry lovers have also come to adore this place, so much so that they quickly opened a second location in Prospect Heights, whose opening day had the longest lines of any New York bakery in history. I'm not sure anything is quite worth waiting an hour plus in line for, but if you can get here earlier in the week and the line is short, this place really does live up to the hype. There's not much in the way of seating, except for outdoors on a temperate day, so best to plan to take your goods to go. Choose from savory or sweet, sandwiches galore, and your tastebuds are bound to be satisfied. I haven't tried their famed earl grey bun yet, but have enjoyed a tomato croissant wheel, a sesame and cheese croissant, the aforementioned fruit danish, and a sandwich. The bread is next level. Adding to the long list of amazing bakeries we're so lucky to have in New York. read more

Long lines but quick service. Not sure if its honestly worth the hype. The earl gray bun didn't really taste much tea like. Cookie was good but meh better cookies elsewhere. Sandwiches looked delicious and were pretty good. The cappachino is underwhelming so dont get coffee there. The worker who helped us was really nice. Id be willing to come back but not worth to wait for line. read more
