Radio bakery is a hundred percent worth the hype. Each item on the menu from the pastries to the sandwiches are so full bodied, packed so much flavor, and there so well put together with each ingredient being high quality and meshing together well with the overall item. I have been dying to try this place. I literally set an alarm 5 hours before i usually wake up, to get up early and drive the half hour here to try this place and it was so worth it. I am already thinking of the next time I'll be back. The sandwiches are so reasonably priced, each piece being the length of my forearm for a very reasonable price! The pastries id say are more expensive than I've seen in other places but they are a must try. Everything is just so well balanced, and delicious. The focaccia bread was seasoned perfectly, you can taste every element in the sandwich from the bread to the olive oil, to the meat, and the vegetables. The pastries are not very sweet and the flavor is so subtle yet not. It lingers in your mouth leaving you salivating for more. The interior is small, with barely any seats but there is some outdoor seating. The service here is decent, nothing really noteworthy and if anything, leaning more towards friendly than not. Definitely became one of my favorite bakeries, will definitely be back. TLDR; yes. Come here. read more

Came here on a Saturday at 10:30, and the line was long but moved efficiently. I got a classic croissant, heirloom tomato croissant, earl grey morning bun, and a sweet corn and pecorino focaccia. The classic croissant was the weak link -- it was bready and not flaky. Everything else was incredible and flavorful. The sweet corn focaccia was fluffy and chewy, a nice mix of sweet and savory. The earl grey morning bun was fragrant and not too sweet. The heirloom tomato croissant had a great burst of flavor, and the cheese they had was subtle but added nice textural interest. read more

One of my new favorite bakeries -- everything was phenomenal. - Prosciutto and burrata focaccia sandwich: life-changing. Truly. The chewy, crisp focaccia on it's own is already a show stopper, but paired with herby pesto and fresh basil, perfectly salty and savory prosciutto, and surprisingly light and fresh burrata, this was a perfect sandwich for me, - Twice-baked pistachio croissant: I don't even like pistachio that much, but holy cow this was amazing. Instead of a standard pistachio "butter," Radio Bakery fills this croissant with what tastes, looks, and feels more like a pistachio "jam" -- I promise you haven't had anything like this. The combination of textures and the sweet, earthy, nutty jam is unlike anything else I've ever had. Definitely order this! - Earl grey morning bun: Flakey, fluffy, and dotted with crisp caramelized sugar with great earl grey flavor throughout, this was also a fantastic pastry. An easy hit and safe choice, perfectly executed. read more

Been dying to go here after hearing all the buzz and I finally made the trek out to Greenpoint. Thankfully very close to the Greenpoint G and the line Friday afternoon was not terrible. I got there a little before noon and the line moved quickly and efficiently. The weather was pretty miserable this day but I managed to get a seat inside. I enjoyed the turkey sando, the pumpkin cheesecake, and the triple chocolate croissant with a friend. The croissant has such a gorgeous shiny finish but I was kinda let down with how much filling it had. The sandwich was delicious though. The sesame focaccia was great and chewy with a perfect amount of kale. I'd definitely keep coming back for the pumpkin cheesecake. It was as pretty as it was good to eat. Radio Bakery is definitely worth the visit but you should make the time earlier in the day. read more

Aw man I really wanted to like this place because of all the good reviews.. but sadly, I just don't think it's worth waiting in the long lines for. I've tried their pastries on different occasions and thought they were just ok. The pistachio croissant was nothing special and a even a little too flakey in some parts and too doughy in others. The focaccia sandwiches are tasty but whYYYY are they so oily??? There is a pool of oil at the bottom of my take out container. Not to mention, it's pretty pricey. They do have a lovely staff and the line goes by fast! Overall, just not for me. read more

Review is for the tuna salad sandwich onlyyyy. The menu description reads lemon zest, pepperoncini, stirato. This is a mayo-based tuna salad with, what I assume is, minced cornichon, celery half moons, rice grain sized pieces of lemon zest, sliced pepperoncinis, and possibly pepperoncini juice on a thin sesame crusted Italian style baguette (stirato). The sesame seeds offer a nice toasty, nutty opening to a bright, sour, and citrusy tuna salad. The stirato is thin enough that it rivals a scooped out sesame bagel, yet it doesn't shred your palate. It's soft enough that if you are left with more bread than spread at the end of the sandwich experience, the bread is good and can stand on its own. Around 11:00AM on a chilly Wednesday, there was no line out the door. read more

On a Friday morning, there was a long line at the door bright and early a few minutes before they opened! But they have an efficient system to keep the line moving. I ordered the salmon and cream cheese on focaccia, the earl grey pastry, and the classic croissant. The salmon sandwich was pretty good, as was the classic croissant - soft and buttery. I didn't love the earl grey pastry and didn't end up finishing that one, but it was true to the Earl grey flavor. It was nice to try this spot that often is so hard to get into because of the time commitment of the line! read more

Radio Bakery - Salmon and cream cheese on focaccia - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered: Classic Croissant (~$5) Twice Baked Pistachio Croissant (~$8) Rhubarb & Custard Croissant (~$7) Earl Grey Morning Bun (~$6) Smoked Salmon Focaccia Sandwich (~$15): cream cheese, dill, pickled onion, everything spice focaccia Cortado (~$5): with oat milk Aya's take: If you know anything about Radio Bakery, you know coming here is an ordeal. Long wait times, hoping your favorite pastries are still available, and planning when you're going to do it all over again. This was my first time here and I was determined to make the most of it. I happen to be in the area early on a Sunday and hopped on line around 7:20am (they open at 7:30am). There were 20 people in front of me. Once they opened at 7:30am, the line moved quick and I was already ordering by 7:40am and out the door by 7:45am. If I had to choose my must-haves, it would be the Smoked Salmon Focaccia Sandwich and Rhubarb & Custard Croissant. The Smoked Salmon Focaccia Sandwich was absolutely outstanding. Genuinely one of the best breakfast sandwiches with smoked salmon that I've ever had. The focaccia is fresh, soft, and warm and properly coated with the everything seasoning. The combination of dill & pickled onion was fantastic. The pickled onion adds that sweet, crisp texture to every bite. The smoked salmon was super fresh and the amount of cream cheese was just right. The Rhubarb & Custard Croissant was so satisfying, light, and delicate. I love custardy pastries so if you're into that, you'll love this one. Some of the pastries were good tries but I didn't really seek out more bites but no matter what, you will not make a bad decision here. Get what catches your eye and don't hold back! read more

Nice service, the people were kind and fun. Apparently, after a break it takes them about 3days to prepare their bread for sandwiches and other delicacies. So we had a good cinnamon roll and chocolate croissant. A bit pricey, definitely paying to have been to Radio Bakery. Worth a visit not sure i'd wait in a long line for it. read more

Came on a Sunday morning before the crowd around 1030am (or at least in my mind it's early enough to beat the brunch crowd), little did I know there's limited inventories by then, damn early birds!! I did not get some of the pastries I had in mind, the selections were combo of sweet and savory, limited at the same time, we got a croissant, a sandwich w house baked focaccia, prosciutto and cheese that was soooo satisfying. omg, every bite tasted heavenly, the fluffiness of bread, chewy and salty textures of prosciutto, it was soo good I'd consider eating it for all my meals if I live close. There's barely any room in the bakery, but we got some seats outdoor, downside is there's no bathroom. read more

This may actually be my favorite bakery in NYC.. Here's what you need to know: 1. No indoor seating and the line keeps getting longer. But absolutely worth the wait. 2. Sandwiches and baked goods are next level. Everything is fantastic on the sandwich side. 3. Brown butter corn cake. Get it immediately. 4. They sell out early... plan accordingly read more

Heard too much about this place through friends and social media so I had to give it a try when I visited NY. Came on a weekday ~10:30a and there was a line out the door but it moved quite quickly-- about 15 min wait. Ordered the morning bun and chocolate croissant. Both were delicious-- crispy and flaky with lots of flavor. I could really taste the earl grey and chocolate. Would love to come back to try their sandwiches as the line for lunch grew quite rapidly by the time I left. read more

WOOOW!!!! I mean.... I'm always very VERY skeptical of "best bakery in the city" or "hottest new bakery" titles but man oh man did they show out. I arrived before they opened to make sure I had full array of options. The selection was plentiful and the staff were friendly and helpful answering any questions. I settled on the bacon, egg, and cheese focaccia which was still warm!! I took one bite and was transported somewhere else mentally. I mean it was just the perfect balance and texture. With every mouthful I just couldn't get enough, I was boarder line cramming it in my mouth. The more on tasted it the more I wanted it. As for the space, it's small and basically a coffee/tea stirring station and the line to order. Which was fine since I was in the move. If I learned one thing eating at bakeries most are not worth the hype, price, or wait. Radio is worth all of the above and the prices seemed lower and more reasonable than the other bakeries I visited in the area. Well worth a visit if you're in the city, and well worth a trip if you're not in the city. read more

Please just stick with the croissants and pastries here, those are legitimately delicious. I dumbly wanted to try something new and ordered the $15 Tuna with Lemon Zest and Peppercino Sandwich. And honestly, it felt like plain robbery. It literally tastes like the tuna sandwich you cna get at Subways. It was just really basic and small for $15, and the bread was surprisingly tough and hard to chew too. I had high hopes for this bakery given how great the pastries are but man the sandwich was just wrong. Service was nice and friendly though the space was a bit small and crowded. read more

Amazing place and I'm not a bakery person at all . I went four times during my month in NYC. You need to see the menu times on their website to plan your trip or you won't get what you want. Line moved faster than expected Turn right out the door and walk to the water to enjoy. Right at the subway too super easy read more

As great as everyone says! I went on a Friday at around 11:15 and only had to wait about 15 minutes. They were sold out of a good amount of the pastries but they still had a seasonal fruit option, their peanut chocolate and triple chocolate croissants, savory options and cookies. They had every sandwich and they all looked great! I ended up getting the turkey kale pesto sandwich, it was delish but definitely oily. I also got the blueberry coconut like croissant and triple chocolate croissant YUM read more

Big fan of the brown butter corn cake. French onion pastry is unique and fun too. I took them home to warm it up. I really wish it could come warm because what's the point of a cold pastry, -1 star for cold. read more

Truly my favorite bakery in the city. I'm lucky to live close by so can go on weekdays to avoid crazy long lines, but there are always going to be people here! I love that their menu changes seasonally and it's always so fun to try their new pastry and sandwich flavors. My all time favorite is the French onion soup croissant. Their pastries are all perfectly crispy, laminated, and flaky. Their sandwiches and focaccia are amazing, and love that they have options for everyone! The staff are so lovely even though it can get extremely chaotic. Always the best! read more

Came here again as the first stop on a bakery tour and it reaffirmed that this is my favorite bakery! New pastries I tried this time were the pistachio croissant (perfectly crispy on the outside with delicious pistachio filling), sausage focaccia (lots of sausage crumbles on springy bread) and the mushroom bechamel tart (was probably my favorite). The flavor combinations here are phenomenal and it has the perfect balance and texture. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

My BFF suggested this for breakfast - I am no longer a local, but I would say yes, I am a psycho about baked goods and will regularly drop $70 on one bakery visit for just myself. Super friendly, creative pastries - I wanted to try them all honestly. We got the everything focaccia with scallion cream cheese - chefs kiss. It was flavorful, salty, and the texture was perfect. Blueberry croissant had perfect blueberries and some lemon cream. The things I wanted to try but couldn't: frankly everything, BUT the nduja croissant (I think it was a croissant?), almond croissant, and all of the other things. Place is divided into savory at the door, sweet near checkout, order drinks with cashier. 3 tables out front, 2 chairs each. A couple of stools inside so not a ton of seating. Would 1000% return. Had a small line at opening time, but it moved fast and wasn't crazy at all read more

One of the hottest bakeries in town -- ever since they expanded to two locations, the lines have died down a bit. If you go early on a weekday, there was also little to no line. I love the mix of savory and sweet pastries -- everything we got was fantastic, but personal favorites are the Foccacia and Mushroom Croissant. I'll be back for that Earl Grey Morning Bun! read more

The earl grey morning bun!!!!!! That is all. Jk but the pastries here are seriously phenomenal. There's always a line, and they do sell out if you don't come early enough. Definitely try to come on a weekday if possible, the lines can get long on the weekends. I have still yet to try the twice baked pistachio croissant, but if it's as good as the morning bun, then I'm 100% waking up early for it. The sandwiches are also solid, they have great focaccia. We thought the triple chocolate croissant was average, but everything else we got were hits. read more

Probably one of the best focaccia bread's I've ever tasted in my life! So fresh, chewy and delicious. There is usually a 15-20 min line around peak breakfast and lunch hours and they usually sell out before the day ends, but you can't go wrong with any item here. Small space with some seats inside but lots of outside sidewalk seating. read more

I put off visiting Radio Bakery for the longest time because it's a bit of a schlep up in Greenpoint, but luckily it is right by the Greenpoint Av (G) station so you won't have to do too much walking once you get there. I fully expected to arrive to a mostly sold out space (the way La Bicyclette looks around 1pm) when I stopped by a little after noon. To my surprise, there were still a ton of goodies left. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the heirloom tomato croissant, which I really wanted to try. But, I managed to snag the ham and rosemary butter sandwich ($13.50), the cheesy pretzel bear claw ($6), and the scallion sesame twist ($6). The sandwich was highly recommended to me, and while I enjoyed the sesame stirato, I was surprised at how soft and chewy it was for a sourdough baguette. The ham was quite salty and the rosemary butter was super creamy. I would have liked a stronger herbaceous kick to the butter. I absolutely loved the ingenuity of the bear claw, which had chunky cubes of salt sprinkled atop, reminiscent of a classic pretzel. The lamination of the pastry was ultra buttery and the filling was composed of cheddar and a thin layer of mustard. Overall, I was wowed by the creative pastries at Radio Bakery. They truly deserve all the hype and accolades. I heard they're opening a second location in Prospect Heights, which is much closer to me so I am absolutely thrilled. read more

Radio Bakery is always popping during the weekends. It's definitely worth the wait -- they have the highest quality pastries and sandwiches. Their salami foccacia sandwich is superb. I'm generally not a huge fan of salami, but this sandwich was so fresh and perfectly balanced. If you go during the weekdays, it's super peaceful. They have a few outdoor tables for you to sit and enjoy as well as coffee if you're craving a drink. read more

More like 4.5 stars but overall worth the hype. Lined up on a Saturday around noon and there was a long line but it moves pretty fast considering how long it is! My favorites were the twice-baked pistachio, burrata & prosciutto on focaccia, and triple chocolate. The lamination on the croissants were just perfect. I would pass on the cheesy pretzel bearclaw because the filling was quite empty and the pastry was dry. I wasn't a fan of turkey basil sandwich on focaccia just due to the amount of kale that was in it. Their focaccia's are baked to perfection, slightly greasy, but very fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Overall, really enjoyed the pastries here and will def be back for more, even if it is a bit on the pricier side. read more

Although the line was long, the hype was real! We tried their twice baked pistachio croissant and their prosciutto burrata focaccia sandwich. Both items were amazing - the croissant was ultra flaky and had a decadent pistachio filling, and the sandwich was soft yet crispy. The inside of the store was busy, and the staff were friendly. We were able to grab one of their outdoor tables. We would definitely recommend! read more

Your experience here is either a hit or miss. And I'm not talking about the quality and the taste of the food because frankly. Everything here is delicious. But in talking about the selection and options you have after trenching that long and never ending line. Despite the lines going fast and not too long if a wait. I believe the longest I've waited was about 30-45 mins on Saturday morning. Despite waiting all that time, the choices you are in for varies. I do highly recommend everyone to come here AT LEAST twice only because of the morning / afternoon food changes. Morning: all of your usually baked foods plus the seasonal focaccia choices. Your infamous earl grey morning buns, various croissants and tarts, buns and focaccia breads, cookies and all ! Lunch ( starts at 11am): everything that is listed above is included plus the addition of their filling sandwiches. Now I did say everything in the morning is included ONLY if supplies last. I will tell you. Supplies DO NOT last past 11am. Most things a from the morning is sold out by the time lunch rolls by and the sandwiches are displayed. I highly recommend coming early for one visit and a bit later for the next. So you are able to taste menus from both sides! Must tries in my opinion : Morning selection: - chocolate chip cookies. This is a very unassuming choice. The cookies tend to be overlooked as others go for the more eye catching baked goods. I repented for my mistake and on the second visit I was able to grab one. It was DELICIOUS. Soft chewy and crunchy at the same time - ALL of the focaccia. the main reason for the second visit was to grab their focaccia again but this is a must must must try ! - croissants. sweet or savory their technique is impeccable. layers are soft and delicate Lunch: - honestly any of their sandwiches look amazing but my favorites must be the ones with baguettes. Only because I enjoy the hearty and crusty bread that baguettes give in comparison to the soft meats on the interior But I will warn you The menu changes often. One day you may enjoy one thing and the next day it's gone ! read more

I finally had a chance to go to Radio Bakery and I can see why it's so popular. I went on a weekday morning (around 8AM) and was lucky that there was absolutely no line. I was by myself but wanted to try a few things so I ended up ordering the earl grey morning bun, the smoked salmon focaccia sandwich, and the heirloom tomato croissant. The earl grey morning bun was delicious! I love earl grey and this did not disappoint. The earl grey flavor was present but not at all overpowering. It had the right amount of sweetness for me. Was a great first bite. The smoked salmon focaccia was expensive but very filling and I think overall justified the price. My favorite thing of the sandwich was the focaccia itself. The texture was perfect! I seriously think it was one of the best focaccia I ever had. The heirloom tomato croissant looked like a work of art. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The tomato was fresh and well seasoned and complemented the croissant surprisingly well. Overall, I enjoyed everything that I tasted and want to go back to try more. It's definitely expensive but I think worth a visit for sure. read more

I have been to their Brooklyn location & the one here at Greenpoint. Both are equally great. Love all their items but my most favorites from this place is their roasted turkey sandwich, butter brown corn cake, smoked salmon sandwich. I like their other focaccio items as well. Their stuff are truly worth the lining up and wait. read more

This place is so worth the hype. I really recommend coming twice-- once for their breakfast options, and once for their lunch and savory options. I wanted to try their lunch options more so I got there right when they were starting to sell their lunch sandwiches and the acclaimed turkey kale pesto sandwich, which was one of the best sandwiches I ever had, the burrata and ham sandwich, and the prosciutto sandwich. All were so delicious and I NEED to come back in the earlier hours to try their breakfast options. I would say that the Greenpoint location is better and faster than going to the one in Prospect Heights at the moment. I also got a cookie, which was fine, and the mushroom croissant, which was also very good. Definitely one of the best bakeries I ever visited ! read more

My partner and I planned to visit right at opening, 7:30am on a Wednesday! It was worth it as there was no line and nothing was sold out yet :) It's right off the G line as well which helped. It's a small shop that has a few high stools by the window. We ordered 4 different items: 2 focaccia sandwiches and 2 pastries! I enjoyed the pastries a lot. I enjoyed the lox sandwich over the shakshuka (just a flavor preference for me), but even so they were quite pricey (the lox sandwich was $14). The cinnamon bun was one of the best I've had. I couldn't stop eating it! And the earl gray morning bun was a perfect pastry and had a decadent flavor of the earl gray. I'd definitely go again to try more of the pastries! read more

Radio Bakery definitely lives up to the hype!! We arrived around 11 on a Saturday and ended up waiting in line for ~30 minutes but it was worth the wait. We got the triple chocolate croissant, pumpkin cheesecake croissant, brown butter corn cake, and cheddar bear claw. The triple chocolate croissant isn't overly sweet which I was worried about - it has a bit of a more bitter chocolate taste in the dough which worked really well and balanced out the sweetness from the chocolate filling. The pumpkin cheesecake croissant had a tasty filling and the lamination on the crust was so perfect and flaky! A little too sweet for me personally by the end, but if you get something savory to pair it with then it helps balance it out :) My favorite was actually the brown butter corn cake which i wasn't expecting since it doesn't look as stunning as some of the other pastries. It had a nice deep flavor thanks to the brown butter and tasted like delicious sweet fancy corn bread. We also got the cheddar bearclaw which was tasty and was a good savory option to pair with everyone thing else! The focaccia sandwiches looked so good and I'm sad we were going to brunch after otherwise I would've tried one. They were already sold out of some of the early morning pastries, so I'd recommend going early if you're set on one of those! Definitely recommend stopping by and don't let the line intimidate you! It moves faster than you think and it's worth the wait :) read more

I finally made it to Greenpoint's much-hyped Radio Bakery, and I have to admit that when it comes to inventive pastries and sandwiches, I much prefer Bakeri a few blocks away. (Their cold brew is also better.) That being said, the spicy tofu and cabbage sandwich was good. The chili crisp gave it a surprising amount of numbing spice, and I though the flavors were well balanced with the crunch from the cabbage. Perhaps it seemed to me at a subconscious level that these fillings would have gone better on a crispier bread rather than the somewhat chewy baguette. I have a feeling that I would have loved the sandwich if served on a scallion pancake or Malabar parotta. read more
