Foccacia
Ruby C.

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.

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.

Mango lassi croissant
Anushka M.

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!

French Onion Tart and BEC Focaccia.
Cindy Z.

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.

Morning bun, princess cake, croissant, spicy tofu sandwich
Anita P.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Apple brown butter croissant

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!

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!

Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
