I went to Radio Bakery twice in a week recently and I am not mad about it. Loves: + The croissants are so good. Had the blueberry & corn ($9) and seasonal heirloom tomato ($8) and enjoyed them both. + My personal faves are the cheesy pretzel bearclaw ($6.50) and the shakshuka focaccia slice ($9) + Staff is quick and efficient and the long line outside is well organized The reality with Radio at both locations is there will be a wait. Line moves relatively fast but the slowdown is people deciding what to get, so I recommend looking at the menu in advance. Note about food drops: most items drop at 7:30am when they open, but late morning focaccia (eg. tomato & garlic) drop at 10am and lunch sandwiches drop at 11am!
First time I have walked by and there isn't a like so of course I had to go in. Went with the bacon egg and cheese focaccia. This was delicious but they should definitely keep it on a warming tray or something! It was nice and cheesy with a good amount of the bacon and a whole egg inside. Also had the peach iced tea (doesn't come sweetened but they have options on the bar opposite the register. Service was quick and friendly I was in and out. Grabbed a spot on the bench under the tree to chow down.
Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and noticed the line was surprisingly short, so we decided to hop in. We only waited about 10 minutes before it was our turn to order. While they didn't have their full selection available, there were still plenty of pastries to choose from. We ended up getting the vanilla kouign amann and the chocolate PB&J croissant. The kouign amann was flaky, buttery, and beautifully caramelized. The chocolate PB&J croissant was easily our favorite. It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.
Radio Bakery... is perfection. I completely understand the line. I first ordered the heirloom tomato & feta sandwich, which was unbelievable. It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!
Very good pastries with lots of options. I went on a Friday morning, waited in line for about 15 minutes, and was still able to get a great selection. I tried their sandwiches--the focaccia with prosciutto and burrata was my favorite, while the ham and rosemary butter sandwich wasn't my favorite because of the ham's texture. I also ordered the cherry cheesecake, which was good but a bit too tart for my taste, and the peanut butter and jelly croissant, which was very good. My favorite, however, was the pistachio croissant. Their croissants are excellent, and I would definitely recommend this bakery.
love this place!! it is soo yummy which is why it's always busy! You need to get there early in order to make sure you get the smoked salmon it's so good. There's a line that forms outside to go one by one. The staff is always so friendly and nice though! It definitely gets busy and more stuff sells out. The earlier you get there the better.
I see the hype for radio bakery. Hate that there's always a line but it does move quickly enough and once in there, it feels like there's no rush. We pretty much got one of everything except the sandwiches and they were all amazing. Particularly liked the cornbread, all the Croissants and the garlic bread. That feels like I've said everything and that's pretty much correct. There's some sitting my the entrance window and some outside as well but we got our order to go. Also got the ham rosemary sandwich and maybe I was just really hungry but it was also so good. Hope one day it's less busy when I catch it but absolutely loved it.
I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so busy 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
Came here on the walk to lunch and saw a short line for once, so had to try it. There was a PBJ and Chocolate croissant, so I had to try it. Even though it was almost $10, it was amazing. Good PBJ layer on top of rich chocolate. Would come back again!
I was lucky enough to walk in to Radio Bakery right before noon on Thursday before the lunch crowd arrived. I bought the pistachio bun, garlic bun, darjeeling cardamom bun, and brown butter corn cake. Pistachio bun ($8): Amazing. This was by far my favorite of the lot. The orange zest elevated this to another level. I loved the pistachio frangipan and orange-infused flavor, as well as the pieces of toasted pistachio (with visible zest) on top. Garlic twist ($5): This tasted like garlic bread in croissant form. This was my second favorite item, even though I don't typically go for savory croissants. I loved the strong garlicky taste--enhanced with garlic oil. Darjeeling cardamom morning bun: I regretted this choice. Waaaay too much sugar on the exterior and just overall too sweet and thick for my taste. I also could barely taste the darjeeling taste. Brown butter corn cake: This too was too sweet for me. Even when eaten fresh, I thought it was too hard. The exterior, which I understand was meant to be a somewhat crunchy and caramelized to contrast with the interior, was too hard. The staff was phenomenally friendly, patient, and kind, especially in answering my questions about their various pastries. All the pastries did taste very rich, high-quality, and with great attention to detail.
Finally checked out this popular spot everyone raves about. Stopped by on a Friday morning hoping to avoid the weekend long lines. There was a line today too that took about 20 min. They carry sweet and savory pastries and a few sandwich options including one vegan option. Sandwiches are $13-15 and pastries start at $6 and up. Once inside you don't have much time to decide as a steady rush of people come in and staff tries to keep the line moving. It's hard to stop and ask questions about bakery items when it's crowded. Staff could have been friendlier. I got a garlic knot croissant and a rhubarb sweet pastry. Both buttery flakey and very good. The garlic knot was my favorite!! No seating inside and no restroom. There are a few small metal tables and chairs if you can snag one. Most just take things to go.
Stopped by Radio Bakery on a Sunday afternoon. After waiting on line outside for a bit, disappointed that the only items available were the Brown Butter Corn Cake and a couple of sandwiches. Got the Brown Butter Corn Cake which was pretty good. Will need to return earlier to try the other pastries!
Hype understood! Got a large variety of sweet and savory items and I was obsessed with every single one. If there's something you're on the fence for, order it and you won't regret it. Best chocolate chip cookie ever!
We've now gone twice, we went once on a beautiful morning for to-go pastries in prospect park -- the line was about 10 minutes, moving quite quickly despite appearing long from outside. Pastries were fantastic, fresh and flavorful, both savory and sweet were good. Staff was super nice and it had a really nice neighborhood feel. I went back this morning to pick up a bigger order for a brunch we were hosting; it was raining so I assumed the line wouldn't be there. It was there, almost as long. The patrons love it and are hardy :) Highly recommend for pastries if you're in the area! Really delicious. read more

This bakery is popular and can have super long lines in the early hours of the morning. I've never encountered that thankfully because I visit a little bit later. My husband has been wanting to try this bakery out for a long time so we finally had the opportunity to go on his day off. The bakery is tiny with minimal seating available. They have a few outdoor chairs and tables but it's the middle of winter and I'd rather not eat outside. We took our orders to go because of the lack of space and seating available. The customer service wasn't the warmest from when we went because they were trying to move the line along even though there weren't many people at the times we went, so if you're introverted or it's your first visit and you're trying to take in the displays, this might be off putting for you. We ordered several items during two separate trips here: the apple brown butter croissant, garlic knot, brown butter corn cake, sausage chive focaccia, smoked salmon sandwich. Smoked salmon sandwich was $15 and contains cream cheese, dill, pickled onion, on an everything spice focaccia. We both enjoyed this sandwich, it's rather large so we split it. The pickled onion and dill were a bit strong, I personally felt there was too much but my husband loved it so be wary of this if you're not obsessed with certain ingredients because they might be too overpowering for you in this sandwich. The sausage and chive focaccia slice for $8 is HUGE. Like a really generous slice of focaccia with crumbled sausage and finely chopped chives sprinkled from corner to corner. It was delicious but way too much for a single serving. Wish they sold a smaller portion because I couldn't finish it. For those with a bigger appetite, this is a really good deal, bang for your buck breakfast. The apple brown butter croissant is like a mini apple galette for $7. This was my favorite pastry and I don't even like apples that much. I am part of the few who don't like apple pies, or cooked apples specifically so I was surprised to like this pastry. The crispiness of the apples, the sweetness from the brown butter with some light saltiness. It was absolutely delicious and I intend to order it every time I visit. The garlic knot was a last minute addition to our order, and a most welcome one. I'm a savory girl to my core so this was a super flaky, buttery, garlicky croissant that was so delicious. It was sizeable, good to split with another person. Another favorite and must order if you love savory pastries. The brown butter corn cake for $5 is gluten free. It's basically a corn bread with brown sugar in it. It was yummy, a bit dry for my liking but still good. If it was more moist it would be akin to a coffee cake but it's on the drier side, but thankfully not the crumbly dry kind. We didn't try their coffees because we're partial to the local Hungry Ghost chain. Maybe next time! This bakery has gone viral on social media hence the long lines. I don't think their pastries are worth a one hour wait though. Maybe 15-20 minutes, sure! A lot of the baked good are also over priced in my opinion, for what they are. I think they have a good arsenal of straight bangers that deserve to go viral but not everything you see on social media is as good as they claim. They can't please everyone but an hour wait for pastries is kooky. I recommend trying them out but try to go past 9am, closer to 9:30 or 10 am to avoid the ridiculous lines. read more

11/10, I now understand the hype. We came on a frosty Monday for a holiday weekend and were pleasantly surprised that they were still open. We had heard that the "good stuff" runs out pretty quickly, so we arrived at 8:30AM. There's not really much seating beside the bar by the window, but make note that you'll have to take your goodies to go or sit outside on the limited furniture around (probably easier on a warmer day). They had many things on offer, particularly focaccia's; the most appealing one to me, which I got, was the Bacon Egg and Cheese (BEC), but there were also shakshuka and smoked salmon ones. To balance out the savory, I got a double-baked black forest croissant to boot. The focaccia was bomb dot com -- the bottom was nice and crispy without being burnt, while the top was a good balance of gluten and bounce. They were very liberal with the toppings, so just be prepared; I think it could have been just as good with one less slice of bacon and the hard-boiled egg sliced inside, instead of halves, but that's just me. The croissant was really yummy inside -- a layer of pastry with a layer of dark chocolate, ganache, and then cherries atop made for a really nice inside. Unfortunately, the outside became a bit dry and brittle due to the double-baking, hence the dark exterior, but I still think overall it was still something I'd get again. I'll definitely be coming back and trying more things I had my eye on, but I have to figure out when I'm willing to get up so early for my daily bread. read more
we waited 30min in line before entering the bakery. I've heard they have the best focaccias and croissants in nyc so I got one of each. I tried the tomato focaccia and pistachio croissant ($15.24 for both) and tbh they were great in flavor but the textures could be better -- focaccia was more dense than I expected, and croissant was kinda hard outside read more
The hype is real but it suck's because so much is sold out by 11. The line moves fast though, I tried the popular Tina sandwich and it was really good had the peppers that have it a kick. I had a sourdough bread loaf and I didn't get to taste it well as it got so hard by the next day it was tough to cut through. I may try them again if I'm ever in that area. read more

Once Radio bakery opened in Prospect Heights, I figured it would be easy ins and outs but the line stays strong. Luckily it does move quite quickly. I have to rave about a sandwich that I never thought I would get, but the sweet pea, mint, and feta is INSANE. It's so bright, yet savory, and it kept be coming back for more. All their breads and pastries are amazing, they have such range in every bite and that's what continues to make Radio a spot to stop at every time. read more

Yep. This was one of them ones. Every pastry was super lit. Salmon focaccia was super delicious. My favorite was the cornbread thing tho. Super major motion. Sweet but kinda savory but not dry. Great outer crust, idk everything about it was just so good. Sorry to the people we cut in line though. read more
I've heard this place went viral on social media from a friend, so we had to give it a try! Even during a weekday the place was packed, and a small line was forming just to get inside. There were so many good options, but I stuck to a standard chocolate chip cookie which was perfectly sweet and salty! I get the hype and would come back to get more treats! It is pricier but you are getting the quality read more
Ok folks.. it's been almost a year since Radio Bakery landed in Prospect Heights.. is it a one hit wonder or an all star? What do you think I'm going to SAY? It's an ALL STAR! If you have not been fortunate to salivate and then dine on ANY item that RB offers, then all I can say is, " Sorry for you!" Lol! Does it live up to the hype? YES! YES!YES! I am in love with their sandwiches, first 1. THE BREAD: worth the cheat... baked on premises. You can see it live when you walk in here and on India street. Repeat after me.. BAGUETTE..BRIOCHE..FOCACCIA..CIABATTA 2. THE OPTIONS... Repeat after me: TURKEY KALE BASIL PESTO.. TUNA..SPICY TOFU.. HAM WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER Your eyes are starting to dance.. there is a huge smile on your face, you feel a bit unsteady as the server asks "What can I get for you?" and you point to the sandwich display case and say"I want THAT, THIS and come to think of it... THAT TOO!" 3. PASTRIES: Salivate with me: CHOCOLATE BEAR CLAW.. PISTACHIO CROISSANT.. CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE, EARL GREY MORNING BUN.... 4. SAVORY: SCALLION TOAST, CHEESY PRETZEL BEAR CLAW, HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART 5. Service: TOP NOTCH My fave is the Turkey Kale and Pesto on Sesame Focaccia.. the kale is marinated with lemon juice and olive oil, turkey is a mix of light and dark meat, the pesto has pine nut and pecorino. Yummmmmm.. I was asked if I wanted a bag, yes, one that is big enough to pack the entire store! There are a plethora of fine eateries in Prospect Heights which I am always exploring... However, when your exploration leads you to a gem, like RB, or your fave song, you want it over and over again. There is always a line, they let clients in one at a time or in twos. Be patient, line goes fast! Bravo RB for consistency, excellence and delicious food! Shout out to Shawn who waited on Fawn.. great service and patience as I snapped photos for Yelp. Let me say in advance " I told you so!" Radio Bakery 186 Underhill Avenue Take 2 to Grand Army Plaza, exit at Plaza Street East, Vanderbilt Vabderbilt, walk upstairs go down one block, Bear left 5 minute walk Post RB dining, stay on Sterling Place and you will see shops, eateries and pretty neighborhood or Brooklyn Botanic Garden close by, pack a picnic read more

The tomato/garlic focaccia slice was SO good,worth braving the line for. It was a large slice, bread was super soft, just the right amount of sauce and garlic. It was like an upgraded version of garlic bread. The best savory item I've had at a bakery. I also got the pistachio croissant and triple chocolate croissant. The pistachio croissant was not my favorite, the pistachio filling had an odd medicine aftertaste. The triple chocolate croissant was good, ample amount of filling, pretty flaky, however it wasn't anything I couldn't get at another bakery. The staff handled the line very efficiently and kept it moving fast, they were also really upbeat and courteous read more
I was visiting a friend who suggested we stop by radio bakery my first morning in town. Great recommendation! The whole experience reminded me of arsicault in SF from the waiting in line to the fast service and turnaround to the high quality of baked goods. I will say, though, the selection of goods reminded me of breadbelly in SF, which I love. I went a little crazy and got us several items to share. Pistachio croissant, shakshuka focaccia, apple brown butter croissant, garlic knot. And then I was talked into the pumpkin cheesecake croissant, which was the seasonal special. (Not sure if this is a weekly thing or a daily thing.) Also got an iced latte and a cappuccino, both were decent. The baked goods, though. Y'all, they were SO good. The pumpkin cheesecake croissant crust was PERFECT. We stored it in the fridge for a day or two before eating and it was still crispy on the bottom, despite the pumpkin cheesecake filling. Flavors were perfect. I wasn't expecting to live this one as much as I did, nor was I expecting it to be my favorite. Apple brown butter croissant was amazing. I loved this as much as I loved the shakshuka focaccia (which had an egg on it!!). Garlic knot was good but nothing to write home about in my opinion. I'm not sure if I'd get it again, considering all the other options available. It's not that it was bad or lacking. I love really flavorful foods, so the garlic knot and pistachio croissant weren't as exciting for me to eat in comparison to the other three items I loved. Everything was well made and delicious, honestly. The wait outside was quick, even with the line. And once you're in, ordering is quick. Staff was friendly and they recommended the pumpkin cheesecake croissant, so I'm happy with the service I received! read more

One of my favorite bakeries in the city. Everything I've gotten here is fantastic and super fresh! Some highlights for me: - the pistachio croissant. I don't even love pistachio like that but the combo of sweetened, jammy pistachios with the fluffy flakey croissant is just perfection. What a great combo of flavors and textures! - prosciutto and burrata focaccia: again, perfection. The fluffy-on-the-inside-but-crisp-on-the-outside focaccia, the refreshing and creamy burrata (how often can you say that cheese of all things is refreshing?), and the salty prosciutto all come together into an addicting sandwich. My go-to picnic order! - apple tart: not too sweet, bursting with fall flavors, and satisfyingly crisp. Really can't go wrong with this one. read more
Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there was 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 . read more

My partner and I stopped by radio bakery on our last day in NYC. We came around 9am and there was already a long line out the door so I knew this place would be yummy. By the time we got up front the best sellers were sold out so we opted out for other stuff: Chocolate chip cookie: honestly it was just a cookie and nothing special. It was a bit on the harder side and now the chewy texture so I wasn't a fan Triple chocolate croissant: I think this pastry would've tasted so much better if the bakery offered to heat it up but I understand they're busy so it's not possible but I love the amount of chocolate they used and how flaky the croissant is! Pistachio croissant: I was the one who chose this pastry and it was a bit on the harder side most likely because it was over baked from the texture. It wasn't as flaky as the other croissants Mushroom croissant: I asked the worker for a suggestion and she said the mushroom was a popular savory pastry and I'm so glad she suggested it! I think this was my fav pastry out of all of them! Overall if you want to try this place I recommend going right when they open so it's hot and fresh! read more

I never wait in queues, but I had a friend from out of town who wanted to go, so we did. It was worth the wait. Tried several different sweet and savory. Everything was delicious. Even nabbed a seat out the front. I wouldn't line up regularly, but definitely worth trying! read more
Heard so many amazing things about this place and their focaccia, so this was a must-visit! Was told that we had to get there earlier in the day otherwise their focaccia would be sold out. We got there at around 10:15am because we wanted to try and get their late morning focaccia batch that starts at 10am. There was a line already but it moved somewhat quickly. We were able to order by around 10:30. We got the tomato & garlic focaccia slice and the smoke salmon sandwich since they were still selling it. The smoked salmon sandwich with cream cheese, dill, pickled onion, everything spice focaccia was delicious! I love how perfectly seasoned and baked they were! The tomato and garlic one was also flavorful. They have so many other items that I wanted to try like the brown butter corn cake, chocolate coconut almond croissant, and pistachio croissants but didn't have the capacity for it this time. Will be back next time! read more
I was dying to try Radio Bakery after seeing their mouthwatering displays on a Tiktok. I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint! Such a satisfying experience. The line was long but moved quickly. I was impressed by the efficiency of the staff. Ordering is very systematic -- you choose your pastry, then give your drink order at the register, and it's made quickly. Cortado was excellent; the bakery items were mindblowing. Tomato croissant had great flavor of summer tomato and fresh Mediterranean herbs, a layer of soft cheese that contrasted with buttery crunch of the croissant, yummmmm. I absolutely loved the focaccia sandwich -- the pickled onion tang was addictive, I couldn't stop eating. Soft, bubbly focaccia was an interesting, new texture with the classic lox bagel flavors. Cardamom earl gray morning bun had a strong, punchy cardamom taste; earl gray flavor was more muted, but still discernible in the interior of the bun. This place lives up to the hype. read more

Soo yummy. Everything was so good: favorites were the chocolate chip cookie, brown butter corn cake, fruit galette, garlic knot, and tomato sandwich.
