This small, assuming storefront is one of the best hidden gems and bakeries in the city. They have some of the best sweet pastries I've ever had! - First of all, their chocolate chip toffee cookie is among the best I've had in the city. - I also love their strawberry shortcake bar. It was decadent, had great texture and great strawberry flavor. - Their midnight banana bread was also delicious, with a subtle banana flavor coming through and pairing very nicely with the rich chocolate flavor. - The corn Oreo was a very interesting rendition of the classic treat and honestly worked pretty well. When I went, there was no line since they had just opened and the service moved efficiently through their small store. While there is no room inside to eat, there is a park nearby where you can grab a seat and enjoy their delicious baked goods. read more

Ordered a cake for my birthday but they did not make it right. It was definitely a chocolate cake but you can even tell just by looking at it that the real one looks pretty sad compared to the website image. There was no salted chocolate pudding in the cake at all even thought it's the "lil pudding cake." In addition, the cake wasn't anything special as is, just a standard taste you can probably buy better from the Whole Foods bakery. I also tried to message them through the website to let them know about the mess up but nobody ever got back to me. read more

Can we truly talk about the best cinnamon rolls in the city if we do not mention Red Gate? As a lover of the cinnies, this place has been recommended to me in print and by WOM. Loves: + The OG cinnamon roll was fluffy and warm + The choco toffee cookie, also highly raved about, was soft and delightful + No line on a Thursday when they opened Notes: - OG cinnamon rolls are sold on Wednesdays & Thursdays while they do special ones on weekends - The cinnamon roll is sweeter than I expected and too sweet for me personally. The cookie however was the right level. - Be mindful if you have nut allergies. I was not expecting the choco toffee cookie to have almond in it but alas, it does. Red Gate is solid and make some interesting things (eg. pickled PB&J, ferreroll cinnamon bun). I'll have to come back! read more

Finally came in for a breakfast treat on my birthday! I've tried to come here many times, but have found them closed but had luck on a weekday morning (not sure if hours change around a lot or maybe I'm bad at planning?) The cinnamon bun is unbeatable. Soft and fresh and brown buttery and decadent. Correct frosting to bun ratio. Even better the next day after a few seconds in the microwave. I also tried the regular oreo, which was incredible, I want to try there other flavors (I think I saw a matcha oreo). There was an incredible variety of desserts in the case and the staff was very kind and it was cool to see all the baking going on right there behind the counter. If you're lucky enough to come across the shop when it's open, go in!! read more

I've had a few cinnamon rolls across town lately and this place ranks near the very top. The flavors change so look at their IG page before hand. The first and best bun I've had from here was a rhubarb custard cinnamon bun. The flavors change was unique and that alone made it stand out. It wasn't too sweet. Only note was it could have been a little more moist. But I've since come back and had other flavors that were also good. There isn't really room to sit or even stand around to take it to go or to a park near by. The service is fast and there is never a line. Really a great secret place if they have an interesting bun flavor I would stop by. read more

Only had the midnight banana bread but it was so SO GOOD. I think around $5 for a slice, a loaf may be $25ish. Tasted like a very thick, moist, decadent, chocolate cake with frosting. If you love chocolate cake then definitely try this! There is a small amount of seating, we were lucky to snag a table outside. read more

The cookies here are out of this world--sweet, crispy, and incredibly flavorful. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant when I first arrived. I came later in the day, and the flavors I usually gravitate toward were already sold out. With less than a 10-hour itinerary in New York City, this stop initially didn't feel like it would make the cut. But after multiple flight delays heading back to Florida, this bakery became my must-try wish. I only regret not coming earlier. I ended up getting the Peanut Butter Miso cookie, and wow...I wish I had bought the last two. When I went back for another, they were already sold out. If I'm ever back in New York City, I have to return here. No question. read more

I was excited to try a bakery I haven't been to. On my way back home I made a stop at Red Gate. There was no wait and lots of options were available. The cookies looked a little dry to me so I opted for a rich and moist cake loaf. Two flavors - chocolate banana bread and pumpkin olive oil loaf. I tried the pumpkin first and it was insanely sweet. Mind you I got home and made a tea to go with the baked goods but I still couldn't handle the sweetness. After a few bites I gave up. The texture was great but sugar level is too high. I don't think I'll be coming back here sorry.. read more

WHEN: Thur @12:30pm When I cam here the first time, they were already out of their infamous CHOCOLATE TOFFEE COOKIE ($4), which is the only reason I made the long trek for! So I came back later that week, only a bit earlier in the day, and snagged up on! The cookie was good, and even better warmed up. But sadly, I do not really taste the toffee bits. Perhaps it was already really baked/melted into the dough. Anyhow, it's still a solid cookie! read more

Saw a line. I stood in line. The decision was good. Cookies are crispy and chewy just the way I like them. Prices aren't too bad at around $5.00 per cookie. My partner ordered a lime bar, and it was not too sweet and not too tart. I am not too fond of overly sweet goods, and I was pleasantly surprised at how controlled the sugar level here was. Anything here would pair well with a hot cocoa, coffee, tea, damn it, even water. read more

I've seen this bakery often and finally had a chance to visit. There was no wait when I went during the middle of the day. I ordered the PB miso and the chocolate toffee cookie. The PB Miso was my favorite. It was a great combination of salty and sweet. I've definitely heard they usually have long lines. It's a small shop with only one table for seating outside. Really soft and chewy cookies and overall have always heard good things about all their baked goods. read more

This was a little bit of a letdown for me since I've heard so many good things about the pastries here. Came on a Saturday afternoon and although there was a line out the door (keep in mind. It is extremely small and there) it did move fast since there are no tables or really any places to wait once you get your pastry. I ordered a slice of the carrot cake and my friends ordered a bagel cookie and the brownie and specifically speaking for the carrot cake, it was very dry to the point that I didn't even finish half of it because not even the icing could save it from how dry the cake was. I asked my friends how their pastries were, and they also were not amazed by them and thought it was a little try as well. I don't know if it was just an off day or what was going on, but I was very disappointed and do not think I will be rushing back here. read more

Back again! I had been thinking about the brown butter blondies since the last time I had come in and was really craving it. These truly were a dream. The nutty flavor from the brown butter paired with the pecans and brown sugar was truly to die for. Blondies always have felt like they were missing something and thats because they were - they need brown butter. Simply perfection. The confetti cooking was the brightest thing in the show case so naturally I need one. It was delicious as well. A soft buttery cookie covered in sprinkles - how could you go wrong. The spiced and ice oatmeal cookie had the perfect oatmeal cookie texture. It was slightly too spiced for me personally, but it really was the whole package. The oreo unfortunately was a miss. It tasted stale to me unfortunately. I will be back for more of those delicious blondies ! I came in on a Wednesday around lunchtime and I was the only customer in the bakery. Service was quick and friendly. read more

However, when you take that next bite with the velvety, creamy icing, it's a heavenly combination! It will most definitely satisfy your deepest cravings with a decadent, delightful warmth!

WOW THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. I don't really dig thin cookies but this one was perfectly sweet and salty and chewy and soft. Not that gooey but that's okay. Def one of my top in the city. The midnight banana bread was SO moist and decadent and chocolatey. I loved it. I've also tried one of their rhubarb cinnamon buns and it was good. Super soft and fluffy I'm not sure it was the best I've ever had but it was good. Would love to try other flavors. The staff here is always so lovely and friendly. Beware they do sell out of items almost daily - so come early. Super cool that they have a specialty bun and cake every week. read more

One of my favorite bakeries. They deserve the high praise they receive... and yes...that chocolate chip cookie is legit. Everything here is good, I really don't think you can go wrong. Carrot cake loaf is insane. As well as any of their rotating bar options. The only thing that is just so/so is the oreo, there are more delicious options. The staff isn't particularly friendly but they seem stressed and I get it. Interior is small but clean. Recommend! read more

Ordered an assortment of bars and cookies from Red Gate Bakery for an office celebration. It was easy to order ahead and schedule a delivery window - the goods showed up right in time and they were all packaged nicely. I tried each of the 4 bars currently offered. The brown butter bar was my favorite of the 4. The Pickled PBJ tasted like a PBJ sandwich - it was really good. The chocolate caramel brownie was too rich for my taste. Their cookies are thin but big. All of the flavors were a big hit except the bagel cookie which was hit & miss with our group - some people really liked it where as others were appalled. I personally liked it. Their homemade Oreos have a burnt taste at first and we're pretty good - very well done and dark. I would order other items from here again. read more

One of my all time favorite bakeries in NYC! I have tried most of their treats and you really can't go wrong with anything from here. Their treats range from classic to creative and are always executed to the highest degree. If I had to pick favorites though, I'd say the midnight banana bread, malted lime bar and caramel brownie. I recently worked with them on a custom birthday cake and the whole process was so easy and seamless. Greg was a pleasure to work with and really took my favorite flavors and ran with them. Together we decided on a brown butter banana cake, with salted caramel filling, cream cheese frosting and covered in cinnamon and sugar. It was oh so tasty! They also do a special cake flavor by the slice as well as a specialty cinnamon roll on the weekend. It's hard to resist going once I see the flavor - every week is better than the last. I must try the Dubai chocolate cake slice soon. I run there anytime they have anything corn flavored too. Red Gate Bakery keep doing what you're doing, we love you and appreciate you. read more

The chocolate they use is very good, not too sweet and not too bitter. I have not tried the layer cakes but they look incredible. I have tried the cinnamon roll, and also excellent. Perfect amount of frosting and lots of buttery cinnamon goo. Definitely get there early because the cookies sell out quickly because of their recent ranking as number 1. read more

I've been following Red Gate Bakery for a while, largely to salivate visually over there tantalizing desserts. I finally stopped by right as they were opening on a Saturday morning specifically to try their weekend special bun, the Persian love bun. Pricey at $9.50 pre-tax, it is a hefty and extraordinarily decadent creation. Made with rose-flavored cream cheese speckled with crushed pistachios, and swirled with pistachio in the dough, the whole combination was evocative of truly a Persian dessert profile. I'm definitely eager to try the bakery's other clever and innovative items like their special cakes and cookies. read more

I don't know why I was being conservative and giving these guys a 4 stars when I first reviewed RedGate because this spot is one of my favorite bakeries in New York and therefore with how often I've frequented them over the years and religiously kept up with their cinnamon bun and cakes of the day, they deserve a damn five stars! Buns are always so flavorful from the dough, the toppings and fillings, and freshly made every time, so pillowy and soft. I adore adore their creativity with flavor combos and that's precisely why it's a 5 for me. But guys I get such intense FOMO so please bring back flavors because I still think about the caramel coffee bun that I never got to try and it's been probably over a year maybe even two since that had been launched LOL. read more

This small, cute bakery in the East Village is a fun stop for a sweet treat but could use some improvement. The choco-toffee cookie was nicely chewy and not too sweet, but it could've used a bit more chocolate. The cannibal cookie was fun and also had the perfect amount of sweetness. I'd tried the everything bagel cookie in the past and found the flavor combo a bit too strange for me. What was disappointing recently was the blueberry lemon poppyseed loaf slice. It's loaded with blueberries and poppyseeds and has decent flavor but the texture was super dense and seemed underbaked (maybe because of too many blueberries?) so that it didn't really have a good crumb. Maybe I got a bad batch but I wouldn't recommend that loaf. I wouldn't go out of my way for this spot but their cakes do sound pretty interesting and that malty lime bar sounds good! read more

This place is such a gem!! I've been here twice now, and both times were exceptional. I love the variety of choices and creativity in their pastries and cakes. Despite the tiny space and the endless stream of sugar-eyed patrons, the staff is also super friendly and helpful, too! Today we got the cake of the week, the everything bagel cookie, the chocolate marshmallow cookie (there was a cleverer name for this, but I have forgotten it), and the German chocolate buns. Hooolly Moley!! Everything was delicious, but my favorite were the buns--imagine the most delicious babka you have ever eaten, and then multiply that by ten. Whoa! So cocoa-y, yummy, and perfect.

After hearing rave reviews on social media I was really excited to try this bakery. Unfortunately I was disappointed. While the owner was nice, I was disappointed with the taste and texture of this roll. The tajin was not necessary and neither was the mango icing. I would've preferred a regular cinnamon roll or maybe I should've gotten another bakery item. This didn't do it for me. The bakery is small with one table outside, so do not go there with the expectation to sit down. read more

Specialties

Greg Rales gleans inspiration from the baked goods of his childhood, reimagining them with unique and unexpected ingredients. Our pastries, which range from cookies to loaves to celebration cakes, are crafted with premium ingredients and ably walk the line between familiar and sophisticated. Red Gate’s signature creations include Salted Caramel Brownies (chocolate brownies with a thick ribbon of caramel), Brown Butter Blondies (extra buttery, toasted pecan-riddled blondies), Cannibal Cookies (caramelized sugar cookies packed with house-made oreos) White Chocolate Grapefruit Cookies (studded with zesty grapefruit and white chocolate chunks), and Midnight Banana Bread (black cocoa and bittersweet chocolate in warm banana bread), among others. For custom confectionary delight, Red Gate Bakery also offers a line of Celebration Cakes in four flavors: Yellow Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting (the perfect combination of sweet and tangy), Vanilla Bean Strawberry Dream (fluffy vanilla sponge complemented with tart pink frosting), Caramelized White Chocolate Stout (nutty caramelized white chocolate with a kick from dark, earthy stout) and the indulgent Toasted Coconut Banana Bacon (bacon fat-infused banana sponge topped with cream cheese frosting and adorned with bacon bits and coconut shavings).

History

Established in 2016.

What initially started as a simple wholesale business headquartered in Greg’s home quickly gained a cult following. After outgrowing Greg’s kitchen, Red Gate Bakery found a new home in the vibrant East Village, where he and Director of Operations, Patricia Howard (formerly of The Beatrice Inn), opened the first brick-and-mortar location in November 2019.

Meet the Business Owner: Greg R.

Greg Rales is Red Gate Bakery’s Owner, Founder, and Chef. Greg was born and raised in Washington DC, but his fondest childhood memories are from time spent relaxing and baking with his family at Red Gate Farm, their summer home in Nantucket. Greg first established Red Gate Bakery as a cottage food business, baking and delivering goods from his apartment in New York City. His creations quickly inspired a cult following. Greg joined the opening team at Flour Shop in late 2017, an experience that gave him the confidence to venture out on his own and find Red Gate Bakery a proper brick-and-mortar home. He brought his long-time friend Patricia Howard on board, found a charming corner in the East Village, and the rest was history.

The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

What a delightful surprise! After working late and attending an event after work, one of my…read morecoworkers suggested we stop here because they loved their cookies. I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience.

I ordered the fried onion burger and a side of slaw. The slaw...while having good flavor (I think a kick of mustard), was just drowning in watery mayo. But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!
