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

Red Gate Bakery - Cinnamon Bun - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

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

Ok I want to give it a 4 but based on 2 items I had I can't. 4.5 for the bagel cookie!!! I love the sweet & savoury mix of this!!! 2.5 for the matcha oreo. I liked the match strong flavour ... but the super crunchy cookie and the thickness was not for me. That's probably a me thing ... Nice staff. I'm happy to come try more things though! 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

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

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

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

Red gate has some of the best pastries! We truly enjoyed their seasonal options, which were the pumpkin loaf, it was extremely the frosting was amazing. The banana bread was also a huge hit. The cream cheese frosting was unlike anything I've had before. One of the best bakeries in the east village!!! Have previously tried their cookies which were pretty decent. read more

I had to update my review as I finally was able to try the Cinnamon Bun! The rich, fluffy dough with its tender texture is perfectly paired with a sweet cinnamon brown sugar filling. 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! It's a must try! 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

It's fair . Thought , due to the high recommendations that it would blow my mind and I will have to get back (like I do with the heavenly olive oil cake at Abraco or the chocolate chip cookie of two cookies.... Or ByClio in Brooklyn) to get their pastries again . They are ok . Just ok. Nothing to write home about their smores cake or their dark chocolate banana bread or the choco toffee cookie . Next . read more

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

Went for the toffee chip and they didn't have it but did get the pumpkin spice olive oil loaf cake and the peanut butter miso cookie. LOVED the pumpkin loaf but still think hani's is my favorite. Cookie was fine but nothing to write home about for me. Very subtle peanut butter and miso flavor and too thin for me. The smell emanating from this bakery is HEAVENLY though. read more

I've since also tried: + grapefruit rosemary olive oil loaf + pina colada cake slice + blood orange brûlée bar + malty lime bar + blackberry lavender lemonade cake + toasted carrot loaf + cannibal cookie + iced oatmeal cookie The cakes are just incredible... and the loaves... and the cookies... everything really! Only thing I have yet to try is the buns because they are made on a stricter schedule, but I'll get there. read more

Red gate def has some great sweets but i will wholeheartedly disagree with anyone that says this is the best cookie in ny.... Its a matter of preference FOR sure bc i am not a tates cookies type supporter, but yea confused by that award. The corn bun was rlly good and my fav, and the corn cake was also good but something just prevented me from wanting to go back for more, idk if its cuz it was too sweet? Id def stop by here again if im closeby, but would NOT wait in a line! read more

Red Gate Bakery is a small bakery with just enough space for a small line. The service is fast, so you're in and out in 10 minutes, even with a small line. The Choco-Toffee Coffee was fresh out of the oven. There was plenty of chocolate, but I didn't get much of the toffee. The Bagel Cookie was pretty warm too. It felt like I was biting into the child of a cookie and an everything bagel. read more

One of my favorite bakeries in the city. The brown butter toffee chocolate chip cookies are excellent. Great chewy crunchy cookies finished with flaky sea salt. 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

4/5 stars only because they sold out of their corn cake 30 minutes after opening (no kidding i was lined up before opening and got to the ordering counter at 10:30am. ANYWAY maybe they didnt anticipate so many people yearning for this cake so I guess i'll just go back.. twist my arm! The cookies were both great texture but i would prefer a crunch maybe just as my cookie preference. I need to try some other things to give them a more fair rating but cookies alone this is where they sit for me but it all looked spectacular 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. In a neighborhood chockablock full of cozy bakeries, we will definitely be back!! read more

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

Red Gate Bakery has been on my must visit list for sometime and I'm glad that I finally was able to visit. All of their selections looked outstanding and it was a very hard to pick just a few items, but I couldn't eat everything and didn't want to be wasteful. Fortunately, I can always return. They have these very adorable Oreo cookies for $2 each. The flavor profile was very similar to the original, but obviously these were better. They also have a matcha cream filled Oreo and I will try that on my next visit. I also really enjoyed the chocolate banana bread, which was very very rich. I should have gotten the chocolate toffee cookie as it looked really delicious and was one of the staff's favorites. I will definitely be back! read more
