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

Radio Bakery - Burrata Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

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

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

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

Radio Bakery - Morning bun, princess cake, croissant, spicy tofu sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

Apparently we got lucky and there wasn't too long of a line when we went early afternoon on a Saturday. Of course they are known for pastries, but do not sleep on the focaccia and sandwiches! Got to enjoy our haul at the outdoor seating 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

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

The tofu sandwhich was very Asian inspired. It was crunchy from the slaw, spicy, and had a light soy sauce flavor throughout. I thought everything paired well together. It was $19 though The rhubarb tart was very nice. The cream and the rhubarb balanced well with the crunch of the pastry 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

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 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

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! The croissant was one of the best I've had - soft, and super flavorful with the apples. I cannot wait to try their other baked goods, this is a must try! read more

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

Radio Bakery - French onion soup croissant and brown butter corn cake - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

Really delicious- have been wanting to come here for a while and went on an off day. No line but in earlier side which was perf.

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

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

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

Super hyped, lines were long but moves pretty fast. Super lively since it's bustling with activity. Workers are nice. Decent amount of outdoor seating. We got the earl grey morning bun, croissant, and brown butter corn cake. The morning bun was tasty - crispy, not too sweet. The croissant had me a little disappointed. Nice and light but lacking on the flavor for me and not too crisp. The corn cake was tasty but definitely heavy feeling. The bread looked delicious and I want to go back for a sandwich or something just to try that focaccia. read more

Amazing selection of baked goods and sandwiches... so fresh if you don't get there early you may not even get something. They close when they sell out and that's almost always before posted hours. Be prepared for a line, however it moves! Downside, extremely limited indoor seating which is disappointing in the winter months when a retreat from the cold is warranted. Price point, higher than the norm in the "hood" but justified based on the constant flow of patrons and the outstanding quality. A must try, and I've never had anything bad ... different baked goods from sweet to savory and all have been amazing. 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

I came at 8 am with my friends. There wasn't any line. I ordered two items that aren't the most popular: Earl Grey Morning Bun and Bacon Egg and Cheese Focaccia Slice, and my friends ordered the Smoked Salmon Sandwich and the French Onion Soup Bread. All the food was cold and hard even at 8 am. This was pretty sad. My two items were honestly disappointing this time, but the focaccia I had before was much better. I also expected the morning bun to have a jam or paste inside, but it was a dry rub instead. The french onion pastry was decent but also very cold. read more

Radio Bakery is very popular in NYC and I thought to give it a try. We were at the Greenpoint location at 9AM on Friday morning and the line was out the door. The wait was about 30 minutes but this location is very accessible since the train station is right at the intersection. Our favorite items were the earl gray morning bun and the salmon focaccia! Both were delicious even though it was not warm. I put four stars because, even though it was very delicious, the line was very long. I would still go here if the line was not long! read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Best bakery I've been to so far. The selection is outstanding, and they have unique options. I wish I had gotten savory options, but I only stuck with sweet because I needed to save room in my stomach for the full day of eats I had ahead. I got the brown butter corn cake, apple brown butter croissant, and the earl grey morning bun. My favorite was the brown butter corn cake. So simple yet so delicious. The inside wss moist while the outside was hardened from the caramelized brown butter, making the edges crispy and chewy. I was worried the corn cake would be dry, but it was nowhere near that. The apple brown butter croissant was my next favorite. Apples were nicely baked. They weren't too soft, and they still had a little crunch. The croissant was flaky, and the vanilla bean filling in the center was simply divine. That was the essential component. The earl grey morning bun was okay, but it definitely grew on me the more I ate it. The early grey flavor is very subtle, until you get to the middle of it. Also very flaky and crispy. The employees are so incredibly kind, which really seals the deal for me. Long lines but worth the wait! Already looking forward to the day I come back. read more

It's as good as everyone says. Without a doubt the best bakery I've ever been to. I am not a morning person, but I got myself up and out of bed early enough to arrive by about 8:30 on a recent weekend. It was worth it, as at that time they still had everything I was interested in trying, and I only waited about 5-10 minutes total. Smoked Salmon focaccia: just like a smoked salmon everything bagel, but make it focaccia. The bread is sooo good: fluffy and chewy at the same time. Great flavors, from the fresh dill to the melt-in-your-mouth salmon. The only piece I didn't love was the pickled onions, which I thought were slightly overpowering. Shakshuka focaccia slice: So creative and tasty! This actually has hard-boiled eggs baked in to the bread. The tangy, Za'atar- spiced tomato sauce is baked and has a burnt quality. Earl grey morning bun: Excellent, especially with coffee! The consistency of this is like a cardamom or cinnamon bun, but it's topped with a mild tea flavor / sugar rather than icing or a crunchy glaze. Apple brown butter croissant: Reminds me a bit of a palmier (one of my favorite pastries), but with a buttery, cinnamon base, fresh apples, and a sweet glaze. Brown butter corn cake: This was unbelievably good. It kind of has the consistency of a dense, undercooked cake, and it tastes like a cornbread - sugar cookie hybrid. read more

I was so so excited to try Radio Bakery and ended up stopping by on multiple days on my recent trip to NYC as I was staying nearby. I was able to try the: - Triple chocolate croissant: delicious and super decadent! This is probably one of their most well-known standing pastries and it's super rich dark chocolate with a nice cream filling and I loved that while it feels indulgent, it's at the same time flaky and airy inside without being too heavy - Scallion sesame swirl: loved the flavor of the scallion and sesame together. Personally I gravitate toward savory pastries and this really hit the spot. Could eat this everyday for breakfast! - Seasonal stonefruit & custard danish: I really enjoyed the juicy, sweet, perfectly ripe half peach on the danish. I'm not a huge fan of creme anglaise as it's generally a little sweet for me but this one was balanced out by the flaky danish shell and overall a nice sweet treat. - Heirloom tomato croissant: this reminded me of a tomato bruschetta with a nice flavorful cold tomato topping. Good if you're looking for a lighter pastry! So happy that I had the chance to snag their pastries without waiting in long lines. The flavors are absolutely delicious and would be worth the wait! read more

Overall solid experience at Radio Bakery. This place was SUPER hyped up, so we had high expectations going in. We arrived at 8:30am, and the line was very reasonable at that time. We got a variety of items, including the earl grey morning bun, the browned butter cornbread, and the apple tart. The highlight was definitely the browned butter cornbread, which tasted amazing and moist. The apple tart was quite good, too. The morning bun unfortunately did not taste fresh, which I was surprised by. We felt a little let down by the experience, but maybe expectations were too high. read more

I've been waiting to come here for months and my expectations were high, I was not disappointed!! Actually I'm kind of obsessed. I was mentally prepared to do a huge line, it was a wed at noon but to my surprise there were only a few people inside. I guess lines are early mornings or on weekends. I had several popular pastries on my bucket list that I wanted to tried like the cinnamon roll, I got the last one! Lucky me. I wasn't that lucky with the earl grey morning bun, they had sell out. I also got the Burrata focaccia sandwich, the heirloom tomato croissant and a chocolate chip cookie. I have to say my ultimate favorite was the cinnamon bun. I prefer the hard glaze to the cream cheese frosting that they usually put on it. I think is less cloying, in addition, the cinnamon flavor is very present and I loved that!! Also the peach tea was refreshing. Not too sweet. read more

Finally made it to the mythical Radio Bakery! I ordered the classic croissant, the Earl Grey morning bun, the cinnamon bun and since it was too early for the triple chocolate, I opted for the Apple brown butter. The croissant was to die for with so many flaky layers to bite into! Next I tried the EG morning bun and when I bit into this, it instantly became my favorite! With biting into its flakiness and the sugar amply doused with the Earl Grey flavor, it was sooooo delectable! I will try the other two items in the afternoon but I have no doubt they will exceed my expectations. The service was positively upbeat and kept up with the line giving each person a smile. They had limited seating inside with a few stools but also had tables and chairs outside for dining. All in all, I can't wait to come back here again and see what other goodies they have made! read more

- line went out the door but service was super quick! - everything looked amazing and the fillings were thick, flavorful, and the croissants were perfectly glossy - focaccia sandwiches are delicious 10/10 but a bit pricy. recommend over the non-focaccia sandwiches - favorite dessert was def pistachio croissant! but also loved the vanilla custard croissant and black forest croissants! read more

The hype is reallyyyyyy here. We came on a Saturday morning (second time!) and the line was long, took about 40 minutes which isn't bad. While some items were already sold out, we tried the tuna sandwich, turkey/cheese sandwich on focaccia, a chocolate croissant, cinnamon bun, and peach iced tea. All the outdoor seats were taken so we ate on a stop near by but the park/waterfront is pretty close too. The tuna sandwich is literally one of my favorites. The sesame baguette and the lemon zest / peppercinis mixed into the tuna salad are chefs kiss. The focaccia bread is baked to perfection. We actually prefer the proscuitto & burrata sandwich to the turkey and cheese. Never had a double chocolate croissant before BUT IT IS SO GOOD. I wish the lines were shorter, I would be trying all their menu items. read more

See all

Absolutely loved the Earl Grey morning bun. Dare I say, it might be one of the best I've ever had! The flavor was spot on, reminiscent of a creamy Earl Grey milk tea. A perfect balance of sweetness and tea-infused richness. The brown butter cornbread was a pleasant surprise. I'm usually not a fan of cornbread, so I didn't have high expectations, but this one had a great texture and really nice flavor. It definitely exceeded what I imagined. The pistachio croissant, however, was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for a softer, more tender interior. It wasn't bad, just not memorable. And with so many great croissants out there, I'd probably skip this one next time. They were just putting out their sandwiches as I was leaving, and they looked pretty tempting. It's definitely on my list for the next visit. Honestly, I'd come back just for that morning bun alone. Seating is limited: there's a small indoor counter with five chairs and a few small tables outside. read more
