I've been wanting to visit this bakery for soooo long & finally made my way over on a Saturday. We arrived around 11:35 am to see a long line stretched down the block. We waited maybe 40 ish minutes in line to get to the front of the line to enter the shop & then waited a bit more inside the store. From lining up to leaving with our goods it took about an hour. I've heard from other friends that they've come on a Saturday with no wait before so I'm not sure if the long line that I experienced was normal or not or if it's been recently viral. The store inside is pretty small but out front there were a few small tables people were savoring their baked goods at. While waiting on line I dreamed of all the things I'd get off the menu, I had a running list of maybe 5+ items I wanted to try, with the twice baked pistachio croissant on my number one MUST TRY list. Sadly by the time I got up against the glass partition where an employee assisted us, it seems almost everything on my want to try list was sold out. There was only a small selection of items to choose from, maybe 2 types of croissants and 3-4 types of sandwiches. I was devastated but maybe this was the universe's way of telling me to rein in my desire to buy one of everything off the menu. Thankfully at least the triple chocolate croissant & prosciutto burrata focaccia sandwich I was eyeing was still in stock. I had also heard from a friend who went the day before they had a seasonal tomato croissant or something? I'll definitely have to come back at a much earlier time to try everything I want but glad that I was at least able to try a lunch item as those don't start selling until 11 am whereas all the other pastries start selling at 7:30 am. My friend got the tofu sandwich. There's a small fridge with to go drinks by the counter as well as a selection of coffees to order iirc. Admittedly the sandwich sizes were smaller than I expected, esp for $15 but with premium ingredients like prosciutto and burrata I get the price tag. The sandwich was delicious! I probably could have eaten two or three of them on the spot if it wasn't for the price. The focaccia is a bit oily but you can eat it with the parchment paper it's wrapped in. The burrata is spread all across the bottom of the sandwich & it's creaminess balances the salinity of the prosciutto while the basil adds a pop of herby freshness. While the triple chocolate croissant is pretty good (had a nice chocolate filling), I'm unsure if it was anything super special compared to a standard pain au chocolat. Definitely want to come back to try other items like the twice baked pistachio croissant, the cheesy pretzel bearclaw croissant, the French onion soup croissant and more. Overall a delightful bakery with some very interesting flavors, I do rec it!, read more

The wait is worth it! Go early to get the breakfast pastries. It's a small bakery with no seating inside but it's packed with delicious baked goods. Outside there are some seating. All so delicious, fresh, crisp and flavorful Put an egg on top of the sausage focaccia, even better! Can't forget the earl grey morning bun, orange pistachio croissant and the rhubarb custard croissant. Gotta go back to try more and seasonal pastries! read more

i woke up extra early so that i could get here around opening time to beat the rush and try out radio bakery - it was so worth it. still encountered a line, but it moved quickly! i was in and out of there within 20 minutes with the yummiest pastries ever. i got the smoked salmon sandwich, shakshuka focaccia, and the earl grey morning bun. every item was so so so delicious. the focaccia of the smoked salmon sandwich was amazingly and generously seasoned with everything seasoning. the bread itself was so soft too, it was like eating a pillow! the smokiness of the salmon, the saltiness of the bread, and the acidity of the onions made for a wonderful set of flavors. the early grey morning bun is what i heard was the most popular, and i totally understand it. fluffy on the inside with a nice crust on the outside, coated with a heavenly early grey sugar mix. the star of the show for me was the shakshuka focaccia! really amazed by the balance of sauce and focaccia, only thing that i wished for was that my egg was more jammy. i think these treats are worth the wait i've seen on social media, but i'd still recommend going early as items do run out during the day! read more

If it wasn't so hard to get to, id go every week . Radio Bakery has the most decadent and buttery focaccias, top tier sandwiches, and fun sweet treats that all rotate by season. The greenpoint crowd definitely got lucky with this one! I'd recommend: - classic burrata prosciutto sandwich - roast beef chimichurri sandwich - pain au chocolat - this pancetta focaccia ((I wasn't as much of a fan of the shakshuka)) I've been twice, but my friends and I sat there for about 3 hours that last time ((waiting for them to put their sandwiches out at 11 AM)), so it feels like I've been there a lot more ‍ read more

There is always a line but be patient because it is worth it and it moves faster than you think! There's also seating outdoors that turns over pretty quickly as well if you want to eat outside. They have offerings that rotate seasonally or just for one weekend - and they sell out fast. Breakfast sandwiches in the morning and lunch sandwiches after 11AM. I love their ham and rosemary butter sandwich as well as the burrata and proscuitto. The bread is also delicious. You can't go wrong with any pastries here but some of my favorites are the triple chocolate croissant and the vanilla custard croissant (seasonal). The pastries are super flaky and the flavors are delicious without being too sweet. It is a bit on the pricier side ($7-8 for a croissant) and $15 for a sandwich but still one of my favorite bakeries. read more

Back in CA now, and I still daydream about their focaccia. Sadly not a New Yorker, so I'll just have to reminisce about Radio Bakery's amazing sandwiches. Roast beef is not my usual go-to meat, but this particular focaccia changed my mind. I came back the next day just for this. Warm, fluffy bread with chimichurri sauce balanced with the vinegary bitterness from the radicchio. Perfection! The burrata & prosciutto focaccia is my second favorite: creamy, salty, and finger-licking good. The stirato sandwiches are also delicious and less messy to eat. I liked the ham & rosemary more than the roasted asparagus, but always appreciate a good vegetarian option. Though I'm more of a savory gal, also tried their earl grey morning bun, which had a nice, strong tea flavor. Waiting for the day I get to eat their baked goods again!! read more

Radio bakery...the hype is worth it!! I had to go two times just to make sure, but had I chose right the first time I would've known right away. With that being said, you can't really go wrong with anything from here because they just make amazing quality baked goods. For my first visit I tried the everything spice focaccia with scallion cream cheese and a stone fruit croissant. The focaccia was good, but a little more oily than normal. The custard of the stone fruit was pretty great as well. I could definitely acknowledge that they were both good but they just didn't hit the way I wanted them to. Not like the bite of the twice-baked pistachio I tried. For my second visit I of course got a twice-baked pistachio croissant and one triple chocolate. I left NY the same day and decided I'd just take them home with me. The next day I popped them in the oven for maybe 5 minutes and after one bite thought, "yep!!!!!! This is it!!!" Despite being 24hrs "old" they tasted just like I bought them from the bakery that morning. I wished I would have bought more. This was the satisfaction I was looking for. If you're someone who gets stressed out by making decisions on the spot, definitely browse the menu before going in person. They have several things that are on a first come first serve basis so this will also help you time your visit. No matter the time or day you can expect a line but regardless of the wait it will be worth it! I can't wait to come back. read more

Have been hearing the hype about this bakery for a while! Came here around 9 am on a Sunday and line was only 3-4 people long outside the store. Wait was less than 10 minutes and once you get inside you can see the array of pastries they have for the day. I had the Earl grey morning bun (liked the early grey flavor but wish the bun came out more fresh) and the seasonal apple brown bitter croissant (this was my favorite! there is a nice saltiness from the cream under the apples and the apples add a nice tartness & crunch -- not to mention that the pastry is beautiful with the thinly sliced apples). All the staff was so friendly and a pleasure to be around. I will definitely be back to try more the focaccia breakfast sandwiches and tomato pastry look divine! read more

This place has some of the best pastries I've ever consumed in my entire life. There are so many amazing options, it's so hard to choose. The staff is super friendly, and they are so hard working! Vanilla custard pastry: 11/10 I had one of the first pastries, and it was still warm. Literally so freaking good. The exterior was so flakey and crispy and the inside was smooth and silky. Incredible. Blueberry cheesecake croissant: 10/10 The exterior pastry was so flakey and crispy, the cheesecake was too much and very thin, and the blueberries were huge and so fresh. The combination of all the textures and flavors was perfect! One of the best bakeries in the city hands down! read more

While I was bummed to have missed out on the pastries on this trip, I was lucky enough to get one of the last sandwiches. The vegan cauliflower sandwich ($13.50) was outstanding! The roasted cauliflower was perfectly tender, it had banana peppers, a generous amount of dill and a very tasty green tahini spread. I can't wait to return to try their other offerings. read more

Came for the croissant and left wow'd by the tofu sandwich. I have heard so many great things about the croissant (and all things laminated at Radio) so I was very excited to try a few baked items. While the croissant was good, there are other places in NYC that have better butter flavor and texture. The chocolate chip cookie was a surprise find as it wasn't too sweet with complex caramelized flavors and a nice chewy texture. The star of the day was an unexpected tofu sandwich. Flavors, texture, spice--it was a winner and big enough to feed two people (since you'll already have ordered too many baked goods to eat in add'n to your sandwich). The slaw and chili sauce (tastes a little peanutty?) is what made the sandwich truly special...and the tofu was silky yet meaty and firm...delicious! read more

Came here twice now and I think it's a wonderful bakery deserving of the hype, but I would recommend coming before 9am on weekends or visiting on a weekday. My favorite is from my most recent visit and is a seasonal item, their heirloom tomato pastry. The tomato was so fresh and paired nicely with the cheese, and everything tastes great over a flaky pastry. Their stone custard pastry was also good. The fruit was super juicy. I had another custard pastry (lemon?) on a previous visit and remember that being my favorite. You can't really go wrong with their focaccias, the most recent visit I tried a Shakshuka. It was super flavorful with herbs (and I love a good tomato), but as you can imagine, replicating Shakshuka in bread form made it a bit soggy. It even had eggs in it! I realized though they have breakfast focaccias in the morning and more lunch/sandwich type focaccias later in the day (after 11am I believe) Pistachio croissant was good - the whole pistachios on top really brought out the pistachio flavor in each bite. It was actually very subtly sweet and did not taste overly artificial, unlike some almond croissants can be (different, I know, but I don't feel like pistachio croissants are that common). Everything was super flaky, fresh, crispy, pure deliciousness. The service is pretty friendly and efficient, they try their best to keep the line moving. I haven't had any of their drinks but they have a classic cafe menu. There's some countertop space inside, and a few tables outside. Turnover on the tables is usually quick, but it is more of a grab and go establishment. I'm just glad I live nearby! read more

Love, love, love is an apple brown butter croissant. Crispy and delicious; Everything is perfectly balanced - sweet, but not too sweet- fresh thinly sliced apples remind you that you are in the neighborhood of an apple tart, but you can taste and feel every layer of buttery goodness. The signature earl grey morning bun is similarly perfect - unraveling in layer upon layer of delightful earl grey infused sugar. Finally, the light focaccia filled with scallion cream cheese offered a nice counterpoint to the sweet treats that called me here. So good; so happy that it is far enough away to be a special treat. read more

We did a bakery tour of Brooklyn, and every person and every bakery we told about this asked us if we were going to Radio Bakery, so that should say something. We went for the morning and there was already a line, but worth it. Brown butter corn thing was one of our favorite things all day. read more

Radio Bakery is amazing and their double baked pistachio croissant is what brought me here. This is a bakery with beautiful bread choices, the Stirato and seeded Stirato which is an Italian style sourdough baguette looks amazing. As a matter of fact, everything in the display case looks inviting. There are lots of breakfast and lunch choices! Back in the dat, there was a UWS bakery that closed. Grandaisy bakery (which I loved) offered savory lunch items and I'd also bring home a loaf of bread for dinner. Radio bakery in Greenpoint is similar as well as creating artisanal and old world crafted breads. Their croissant selections, like Vanilla Custard and Vanilla Citrus are very tempting but my first time here has me going for a double baked pistachio croissant. I order a latte to chase it down and settle in by the small, front window counter. I sit and take a bite of the croissant. Mr Dessert claims any croissant worth the dough must have flakes when you bite into the croissant. I took a bite, saw flakes and was in pistachio heaven! The croissant being made at Radio Bakery is truly an award winning product. Over the weekend I was with my son and said, lets have coffee at this new bakery I found in Greenpoint. When I turned the corner and saw the line? I said, Coffee in New York it is! If you want to try a great baked products in Brooklyn, Radio Bakery is the best Brooklyn has to offer in 2024. read more

Not difficult at all to find things to like here. Great staff and some real standout items. Things sell out early, like 9:30 on a weekday early. Generally found unexpected things to be great (pretzel bearclaw, tomato tart) while the popular and highly-anticipated items were slightly disappointing. Sesame scallion twist was too oily and lacked flavor, the smoked salmon everything focaccia--the salmon was just ok, and it had an inordinate amount of dill, truly wild amount. Scallion everything focaccia was a great alternative, although both breads were a bit over baked on the top than preferred and so were tough. No mystery why the bakery is popular, but more hit or miss at times than expected. read more

Worth they hype for sure. Not mortifyingly busy on a Sunday morning at 9am, like maybe 1 person out the door which was nice. The earl grey morning bun just altered my brain chemistry like I thought I was driving an earl grey tea. So damn yummy. The everything focaccia with scallion cc was so soft and flavourful and the mushroom croissant was phenomenal but I think it may be a limited item. SO lucky I got to try. The pistachio croissant was also very solid but just liked the other there things better. Will be back certainly every time I am in new york. One of my top bakeries of all time. Limited seating inside but a few tables outside you can snag if its not busy! read more

The order: shakshuka focaccia, earl grey morning bun, and cinnamon roll with iced americano for here. The bergamot hits you right away on the crusty morning bun, the cinnamon roll was a bit too sweet but had good texture and nuanced cinnamon flavors, the focaccia itself is outstanding but the shakshuka was overpowered by the generous sesame seeds and the egg, while not poached, was well cooked with the yolk a beautiful bright yellow. Also got chocolate croissant and sesame chive twist for later. Pro tip: come on a weekday at 8am to avoid the line read more

This was the first I got there and didn't see a line reaching at least half the street, so I went in . Wow just wow the line is worth the wait. As soon as you walk in its just a wave pool of people, and when you finally float along the stream of a line and finally see the selections just wow. I just want everything and looks like things sell out faster than a salmon trying to swim up a river. In short this is a must experience, no need for me to explain the taste. The picture is already worth drooling for. read more

We woke up early on a Sunday and trekked over in the cold to try Radio Bakery and it was worth the early alarm clock. We got here by 9 am and there was only a short line inside. We got the smoked salmon focaccia, a fruit pastry, earl grey morning bun, and cinnamon bun. The focaccia was amazing. It was flavorful and the focaccia had the perfect texture without being too greasy. We saved the morning bun and cinnamon bun for the following day and it stayed fresh. This place is definitely worth the hype! read more

Very sad to give this rating - but the workers here really need an attitude adjustment. Let me preface by saying that I'm a Greenpoint local who lives only 5 minutes away. I've been coming here since it opened and was always happy to give Radio Bakery my business. Many times I've asked the workers simple and basic questions, only for Kim the owner and baker to come and support them. They cannot identify ingredients and do not know what a financier is...not the mention, some of their rude and curt attitude. I've seen people come from out of town, other boroughs, who were so turned off by the rude attitude of the workers, they've left empty handed. The baker Kim, has always been super sweet and I wish she could clone 10 of herself to be a worker here. I hope the staff can get retrained on etiquette and manners, it's such a shame that the baked goods are so yummy, but customer service has been rude about over 3-4 times I've been here... read more

I wake up every weekend thinking about Radio Bakery. Seriously. Their croissants?? Perfection. Their sandwiches??? Phenomenal. I have never had a better chocolate croissant in my life. I still have yet to try their focaccia which I'm so upset about because they sellout so fast.

Maybe today was a bad day for a visit, but they had almost none of the items I was hoping to get. The ones I get was not worth the hype. The mushroom tart was really good. Salty, creamy and a tint of sweetness. The maitaki mushroom is grilled perfectly. The focaccia, which I really looked forward to, was really greasy. I can't taste the chives on it because of the grease. The other items were all just dry. read more

This is the bakery I always HAVE to take friends visiting! The only thing is needing to get there by 9am for the morning pastries that typically sell out. Over the seasons, I've tried the heirloom tomato, caramelized onion, and apple pastries which have all been my top favorites. The salmon focaccia has also been a staple for a me. A nice twist on your typical NY everything bagel with salmon & scallion cream cheese except with a soft, crispy focaccia bread. I will say the prices are a little steep, though they're the only bakery that exceeds my expectations of buttery soft, fresh pastries with exciting flavors that change each season. Usually there's a line (of varying lengths depending how late you go), but it moves pretty fast. Highly recommend! read more

i can't say enough about radio bakery - truly one of my favorite businesses in the city, if not the whole world. they make the best pastries and there's truly so much care that goes into everything. i'll NEVER miss a pastry special -- my favorites have been their french onion croissant and blueberry lime croissant. their turkey sandwich for lunch is also sublime. i used to live nearby so could go at like 10-11am on a weekday when there was never a line... oh radio how i love you read more

I've had this place on my radar for a while but haven't made it out here because I've been scared of the lines you see on social media - don't let that stop you! Radio Bakery is definitely worth it, and the line moves fast.

The focaccia sandwich was another standout (and, it's vegan!). Highly recommend coming by - everything was delicious. read more

Radio Bakery is one of the most popular bakeries in the country, and after finally going, I totally understand why. They had a unique selection of pastries to choose from which were all incredible, and they kept hot new batches coming. I came here on a Friday morning and spent about 40 minutes in line, which I expected. However, wait wasn't too egregious because the street smelled like fresh bread :') I ordered: Triple chocolate croissant: 5/5 - Top 3 chocolate croissants I've ever had! Twice baked pistachio croissant: 4/5 - Really good, def more on the dessert side though. Brown butter corn cake: 3.5/5 Everything spice focaccia with scallion cream cheese: 5/5 - I want to have this for breakfast for the rest of my life omg. The bread was perfect. Shakshuka focaccia slice: 4/5 Earl Grey morning bun: 5/5 - This was unexpectedly became one of the best pastries I've ever had. I loved the floral notes! I think the perfect order here is to get a croissant and focaccia slice of your choosing, and the Earl Grey morning bun. However, you literally can't lose- the quality of everything is beyond and nothing was a miss. I can't wait to come back! read more

Came around lunch time on a weekday and waited about 5 minutes on line. We got the turkey kelp focaccia sandwich, burrata prosciutto, earl grey morning bun, and pistachio croissant. As much as I love burrata and prosciutto, I think the turkey kelp was the winner for me. The sandwich was flavorful and packed. I love how you got your bang for your buck with the turkey. I was a tad disappointed about the burrata prosciutto because of how little prosciutto was in it! There were maybe two pieces of prosciutto inside. I still enjoyed it but wish there was a bit more volume to it as it was a $15 sandwich. The pastries were also worth noting as the pistachio was still great even after eating it the next day. The earl grey morning bun also had a nice subtle flavor which was not too overpowering. Earl grey tends to be a stronger flavor than most teas so the subtleness of it was quite pleasant. I would definitely come back sometime again to try their other items, but probably wouldn't wait too long in line for it. read more

Second time here. Went on a weekday this time which was much quicker than when I went on a weekend. Burrata & prosciutto sandwich - 7.5/10 This was my 2nd time having this sandwich. I remember it being so good the first time. This second time I still thought it was a good sandwich, in principle, but found the focaccia a bit too salty and the sandwich overall a bit too rich. If those two things were scaled back a bit it would maybe be the perfect sandwich. Cheesy pretzel bearclaw - 6/10 I could have went without this. It wasn't necessarily bad but not particularly special either. Cinnamon bun - 7/10 not too sweet and good flavor but not a must get Ham & rosemary butter sandwich - 7/10 got this the last time I went and it reminded me of a good jambon beurre from France. read more

life. changing. focaccia. soo chewy and bouncy and crisp! tried the tomato (my fav) and the grape & olive which surprisingly worked really well together! also tried their pistachio croissant, which was not the best croissant in terms of flakiness / butteriness but loved the pistachio filling. LOVED the earl grey morning bun, but I'm a huge earl grey fan. also tried the sesame scallion pastry, which was yummy but did not stand out among the sea of yumminess. long line but moved very quickly at 10am on a Sunday! will have to come back for their sandwiches and seasonal croissant flavor! read more
