Such an amazing bakery with the best pastries! Came here on a Monday morning and there was no wait. Got the earl gray bun and pistachio croissant. Both really great flavors and I am excited to try more! read more

Radio Bakery - Earl gray bun and pistachio croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Take your chance and head to one of the best bakeries in town today. I arrived around 9am on a raining Saturday morning for brekkie and was able to snatch a seat at their limited bar-seating counter. Feeling blessed because if I had arrived 10 min later, lines were already out the door. The cute girl at the front saw me struggling to decide what to get from their array of goods so I ended up going for her two top reccs. No regrets. Everything spiced focaccia + cream cheese 10/10 Airy, pillowy, light the carby instinct in me screams yes please Brown butter corn cake 9/10 Crispy caramelized sugary topped with the moistest (sorry) center Also couldn't resist getting the pumpkin croissant to go. Definitely returning for their salivating sandwiches that are served at 11am. read more

no wait on a Tuesday at 1pm. Best chocolate chip cookie I've had in the city and I've tried A LOT of cookies. To me it's perfect. I like a savory pastry and the cheesy pretzel claw was great. I couldn't make a decision on sandwich got the ham and butter. Very good. Girl next to me outside was eating a different sandwich and I overheard her saying it was her favorite. Maybe the burrata one? Will get that next time. Worth the calories, i will be back! read more

This place is one of my favorite spots, not just in Greenpoint but in all of Brooklyn. Everytime that I visit I get something different, and everything is always so DELICIOUS! Must try! read more

I stopped by Radio Bakery one morning--definitely the best time to go, as their popular items sell out quickly. Even right at opening, there was already a long line, but it moved efficiently. As you walk through, you choose from the fresh selection laid out in front of you. I tried a few of their well-loved items: the Earl Grey morning bun, the everything focaccia bread with cream cheese, and the pistachio bread. While I didn't sample any of the seasonal offerings this time, the items I did try lived up to the hype. Of the three, the focaccia was a bit too salty for my taste, so I likely wouldn't get that one again. But their sweet baked goods--especially the morning bun and pistachio bread--were excellent. I'd happily return for more of those in the future. Radio Bakery is more of a grab-and-go spot, with just a small area where you can stand and sample what you've purchased. Most people pop in for baked goods and coffee and are quickly on their way. The ordering flow takes you along the perimeter of the store, wrapping around in a rectangle. Before reaching the cashier, there's a small space where you can pause to try your food if needed. As a bakery, the focus is clearly on the goods themselves--there's not much in terms of ambiance beyond the simple, functional layout and the display of fresh pastries. read more

At the advice of the folks over at Fewer, Finer ..we stopped by and were delighted by some of the best sandwiches we've had in NYC. We rook out roast beef and turkey sandwiches down to Domino park where we inhaled them. Staff was efficient despite the out the door line and customers clambering for what was on offer! read more

100% worth the hype. Wow. Quick line on a Friday morning, everything 10/10 delicious. read more

Their focaccia bread is very good. Particular loved the burrata ham. The corn bread is a must get as well! We went at 11pm on weekday. No wait. Will be back. read more

Quali-tay. I risked coming here near closing at 2:30 pm and did not regret it. Not a long line, and they still had some gems left including the nduja pastry, scallion sesame twist and their regular croissant. Really enjoyed them all but favored the nduja and the scallion. They had a very good croissant but Nick and sons still holds the number 1 spot for me. I also got an iced latte which was very good. Also great music! And the people were nice. They have limited seating inside but a few tables outside which is nice. Heads up their pastries are relatively pricy (like $8 for the sesame twist...) but the quality is there. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their goodies! read more

Out of this world pastries (one of my favorite places for a classic croissant) but taking a star off bc I am not a huge fan of their breads. They are very dense and almost like cake...also the line is always insane...definitely don't wait an hour! Nonetheless, highly recommend their croissants read more

Must get the focaccia! The wait was about 45 mins on Saturday morning at 10am. We loved the everything spice focaccia though it was a little salty and oily. But the flavors all blended well together and we enjoyed it a lot! read more

I always see this place with long lines so I'm like they must serve the greatest pastries ever in life. Sadly it's average I really don't get the hype around this spot. I tried the croissant for $6 again very average. Probably won't try it again. The service was good that's the only positive read more

I traveled over an hour on a day when the G train was partly suspended, having to take a special bus, overshot the route because it doesn't stop at the normal stops, had to ride back the other way, only to find that when I get here the smoked salmon focaccia had run out by 9:40am. The lady ahead of me got the last one. Lame. Way too early to run out. They ought to make more of it so that customers aren't left bitter and disappointed like I am now. What a waste of time. Only reason for the second star is that the other pastries are all right, but not as good as the smoked salmon focaccia, which is their best item. read more

I'm giving 4 stars, but it's really more like 4.5! Here's why: - the seasonal danishes and flavored laminated pastries are amazing!!! Loved the peach one I had and the pistachio one too - scallion croissant was delish but had a better one in Cincinnati - the regular croissant + pain au chocolat are a little bland for my taste. I think you gotta have a spectacular regular croissant at least for me to give full 5 stars - haven't tried the focaccias/sandwiches/etc yet! Will have to return and update review later. read more

I ordered the sesame scallion twist, earl grey morning bun, and a pistachio croissant. All were excellent, although pricey. The earl grey morning bun was my favorite and I've never had anything like it before. If you are able to, come by on a weekday to avoid long lines! read more

This review is for informational purposes for San Franciscan readers only. It's not mean to rag on anyone or yuck anyone's yum. I'll freely admit that NYC does almost everything better than SF, but they do not do bakeries better. Radio Bakery has a huge line and is in Brooklyn. It's one of the better bakeries in New York. Personally, I like Libre in east village better but Radio is solid and the servers are nice. BUT for people who like to yelp things and wait in lines for food (ie, San Franciscans) the question is - where does Radio fall vs. SF bakeries? Should you go out to Brooklyn and wait in line for it? -The standouts here are the focaccia sandwiches. -The viennoiserie is nothing special. -The other baked goods are fine. Overall: 1. It would be below arsicault, tartine, maison nico, b patisserie. 2. About in line with vive la tarte, neighbor, or craftsman and wolves. 3. slightly better than Jane. read more

I was super hyped for this place but it fell short. Not sure if it's because I went around 10-11am, but mostly everything that I wanted was sold out. The bread was good but cold and not really worth the hype :/ read more

Visited this place from California and omgggg I will be counting down the days till I'm back in Greenpoint to run here immediately. We went on a day it was raining so there wasn't much of a line, but did go near closing so there wasn't a ton of stuff left. However, the ham & rosemary butter sandwich was to DIE for and I will be dreaming about it. The burrata prosciutto basil focaccia was equally as delicious in such a different way. Both perfect in their own. 100/10 recommend. read more

By some stroke of luck I showed up on a Saturday and there was hardly a line (as in, it was not out the door!) things moved very quickly and the staff was very nice/helpful. Everything looked yum, but I settled on the chocolate peanut croissant, which had really nice flavors but lacked the flakey layers you hope to see. I also got the everything focaccia to take home for lunch, which had a really nice texture to it. 4 stars because there's no indoor seating (key in colder months) and the prices are steep. Come, for sure, but it's definitely a treat** vs everyday spot imo! read more

Somehow the tofu sandwich was even better than it looked - every part of it was so perfect from the tofu to the cabbage to the scallion sauce and the chili sauce with a nice dose of heat. Also the rhubarb tart was amazing and the team was so nice and helped me pick a sandwich lol read more

Had the ham and cheese on sesame seed baguette, rosemary flavor. Wonderful. Also, chocolate chip cookie which you can never go wrong with.

Visited them 3x in the last month because they're THAT good. Excited for Greenpoint to have a good bakery in the area - one that isn't a coffee shop with croissants and muffins on the side but a place that specializes in bread and pastries. They sell out quickly and there is usually a line that goes out the door, but it moves quick and the workers are all very nice. My favorites are the earl grey morning bun, maple sausage croissant, everything spice focaccia with scallion cream cheese, roast beef raddichio on sea salt focaccia, and vanilla custard croissant tart (seasonal only). Their pastries are flaky and crispy with great lamination, good balance of salt and flavors! read more

Best focaccia I've ever had! I tried the tomato, shakshuka, and the sausage. All of them were delicious, but my favorite flavor would probably be the tomato. We got the sausage one as it was coming out and it was warm, fluffy, and wonderful. I've never had focaccia as delightful as here--they make it much more airy and light than any focaccia I've ever had. I also tried their burrata and prosciutto sandwich, and their roast beef sandwich. They use their focaccia bread for the sandwich and it's incredible--the burrata is a super creamy spread and the prosciutto adds the perfect amount of salty meaty flavor. I enjoyed the roast beef as well, though I'm not usually a huge fan of radicchio, it's just too bitter for me personally. In this sandwich I actually appreciated the vinegary bitterness coming from the radicchio. It's a feat that they actually made me like something I normally hate! For pastries, we had the croissant, the sesame scallion twist, the brown butter cornbread, and the cinnamon bun. Out of these I would say my favorite was the scallion twist, which is sort of like a crispy croissant-y version of Chinese scallion pancakes. The line gets quite long on the weekends so be prepared to wait for ~20 minutes. I came in during the week around 11 however and there was no line. read more

Delicious baked goods, a bit of a line on a Friday morning but so worth it! My sweet and savory options to go were perfect.

I recognize I am absolutely singing my praises into the void but I have to immortalize my love for the pumpkin cheesecake croissant. I waited in line twice (because the first time it hadn't come out yet) for a total of 45 minutes and it was worth every minute in line and more. Definitely the best pastry I've had in 2024. read more

The thirty plus minute wait is well worth the wait. The aromas of freshly baked pastries are intoxicating. The staff is very friendly, and patrons are happy to order the delicious food. We had the burrata and ham focaccia sandwich, twice baked pistachio croissant, and chocolate croissant. The pistachio croissant was amazing. Definitely come here. read more

Overall rating: 4.8 Admittedly I was ready to give this a low rating. It was soo crowded! I went early and still waited about 20-30 minutes. I did like that there was a rope to keep me in line. I really wanted to get the smoked salmon foccacio after seeing it on TikTok. But even after arriving around 12, they told me it was sold out. They told me lines form around an hour before it opens to get that bread! Damn. I ended up getting the Roast Beef Rodicchio ($16) & a pistachio croissant ($5!). My total was $20+. So wild. But, I was ready to pay given the line and that it's in Williamsburg. The croissant was soo good omg. The sandwich was also good! A bit messy. I wish it was slightly, slightly larger but that's Williamsburg for you. Oh but it was soo good! I want to try the salmon foccachio but I live about an hour away & don't see myself waking up at 6:30am! To get a sandwich. read more

deliciouusss bakery - is it worth getting up super early to actually try the focaccia? unsure. but everything i had was really yummy! the food: things to def get: croissants!! i loved the triple chocolate and pistachio. i tried both the ham sandwich and the roast beef on focaccia, i will say the simple taste of the ham was really good but i prefer the focaccia due to the variety of ingredients and veggies inside. the space: really small bar seating, a few outdoor tables available. read more

I found out about Radio Bakery from the NYT Top 20 Bakeries in 2024 list (in the whole nation). It was the only one located in Brooklyn. It was so close to home that I knew I had to bookmark and visit. I went on a very cold Saturday morning and fortunately, there was no line outside. I suspect there usually is because they already had the rope separators setup. I first saw an assortment of focaccias. I got the sandwich style Smoked Salmon with everything seasoning, dill, pickled onions and cream cheese. It was delicious! I actually prefer this than bagels. I also got the Earl Gray Morning Bun. The tea taste was pronounced and the sugar coated exterior elevated the texture - fluffy and crunchy altogether. They also had a sizable assortment of croissants. I got the Maple Sausage which I greatly appreciate the chunk of sausage at the center. It had a maple glaze all over that gave it an even crispier texture. It was topped with dehydrated sage. Lastly, I got the Cheesy Pretzel which surprisingly was my favorite. I'm not a fan of snack bag pretzels nor baked ones. But theirs is crispy like a croissant. I'm not sure of the cheese they used - it didn't have a strong cheesy smell but you can certainly taste mild cheese. There were mustard seeds but no strong mustard flavor. I think it's a nice touch because mustard is a known element of pretzels so it shows their thoughtfulness when creating it. Everything including a coffee ($3.50) was $41. That's a fair price for four hearty pastries and coffee that were essentially my breakfast and lunch. read more

My new favorite bakery. Don't let the line out the door scare you- it moves quickly and it's worth the wait. The dutch sticky bun is unbelievable- one of the best pastries I've had in awhile. The chocolate peanut butter croissant was excellent and not too sweet, and the sesame scallion bun tasted like an elevated everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. read more

On a Sunday afternoon, there was a long line outside of Radio Bakery. We had to wait maybe 15 minutes total. Once we got inside, there were a few sandwiches and pastry options. I was slightly disappointed in the pastry selection but I believe a lot were either sold out or not being sold that day. The inside of the bakery was pretty small and absolutely packed, but there were some tables outside. Overall, all of the pastries were delicious. My personal favorite was the cream tart. That said, everything was super expensive and I'm not sure was necessarily worth the cost/wait. I'd definitely recommend checking it out though if you enjoy pastries and bread though! read more

I'm not sure how I feel about this place. First off, I did not enjoy any of the croissants I got( classic and pistachio). The sandwiches are okay, I got the cauliflower one and the pesto one. Maybe I'll try again someday. Perhaps if I lived closer I would enjoy it more? Not sure but I would not plan to go all the way here. read more

I like Radio Bakery but find it to be inconsistent at times. Their chocolate chip cookies are some of my favorites, but sometimes they are flatter than other times. Their triple chocolate croissant is fantastic. However, their seasonal tarts sometimes lack seasoning and taste a bit one dimensional as a result. I still go back for the cookies and croissant. read more

Finally made my way here and it was a great experience. The favorite item was the smoked salmon sandwich- yum! The branding on the coffee cups are a nice touch. Classic NYC. Will be back for sure read more

The cookie is criminally good (maybe my new fav in nyc) and the sesame scallion bun thing is skippable. I had a bite of my friends focaccia which was prob the best - i wish they had veggie focaccia options left, we came around 9:45 on a saturday and they were out (i think they restock throughout the day) - def delish but in tune w other reviews id go if u can get there early read more

Went at 8:30 MLK Monday and didn't wait but when I was leaving the line wrapped outside in the cold! Well worth it though. The food was outstanding. I ordered many things and $75 later my little family of four gave a resounding 5 stars. Here it is in order of our favorites 1. Salmon on Everything Focaccia 2. Maple sage croissant 3. Earl gray morning muffin 4. Triple chocolate croissant 5. Plain croissant We haven't tried the whole wheat sourdough bread loaf yet but I'm equally sure it will be great. Definitely coming back read more

there was a small line when my friend and i arrived but it moves rather quickly! the staff here are so sweet and keep things moving. my friend and i got the vegan cauliflower sandwich to share. i think it needed salt and some acidity but it was overall fine. i also tried the chocolate croissant. it's very rich which is expected, but next time i'd like to try their other ones to give their croissants a fair chance. i would come back to try more items for sure. one note- there is only bar seating inside, but if it's a nice day they have some tables outside :) read more
