The bakery is small with no seating. The staff is friendly and they always have a lot of unique options. This time I got the miso apple bar, which had a unique flavor and wasn't too sweet. I've also had their cookies which were soft. read more

I really wanted to try the choco-toffee cookie but they had sold out when I got there. I never understand why places don't just make more of popular items that sell out hours before closing! Since I was bringing treats to dinner, I got a Brown Butter Blondie, a Kitchen Sinker Cookie, and a PB Miso Cookie. They were all good and well received. The blondie was a crowd favorite and very good but a touch too sweet for me. I was curious to try the pb&j blondie but the employee said it was pretty sweet so I didn't buy it. My favorite was the Kitchen Sinker Cookie. The potato chips give it a little savory crunch that I liked. Will have to come back for the choco-toffee cookie. read more

When you don't like oatmeal cookies but choose an oatmeal cookie you know this place is going to be good! I ordered the midnight banana bread, the miso apple bar and the oatmeal cookie (approx. $15 for the 3). I enjoyed every item! The midnight banana bread is so rich and chocolatey it's a good thing they sell glasses of milk. The cookie is very thin and even with the icing not too sweet. While waiting to order I enjoyed watching the staff decorate cakes. It's a small interior with no place to sit so I took my treats to the park across the street to enjoy them. read more

Love this bakery! They always have the most interesting items to choose from. This time, we got the butternut squash bar. Next time, I definitely need to get one of their cinnamon rolls which they have on the weekend (flavor rotates so check insta!) read more

I had been following Red Gate on instagram since I kept seeing their cinnamon buns go viral in so many videos. On top of the flavor changing every week, with creative ones like their strawberry filling with blueberry frosting for July 4th, they only have cinnamon buns on the weekends and are closed on Sundays, so you really have to watch their IG for the weekly flavor and plan accordingly. I waited a few months for their classic to be back on the menu one weekend (which now it seems like they put it back more often). When I went, it was a rainy Saturday morning and early around 10 am, they weren't busy at all. They had a tray out but gave me one that was already boxed from the last of the previous tray, I assumed it would be just as fresh as the tray out since they seem to bake them back to back. I was so excited to finally try it - all the videos I saw, the bun was fresh, gooey, delicious looking. The bun I got was cold, hard, and lacking flavor. It was a huge disappointment. I could not have had the "doesn't live uo to the hype"/"womp womp" feeling more. Staff wasn't very friendly and there is only a tiny table outside to eat. Homemade Oreos were good though. read more

I've been dying to get to red gate and finally made it for their weekend bun special, which was phenomenal. Maybe a little frosting heavy (rare for me to say that), but it was warm and gooey and worth the wait. Their choco-toffee was also excellent hitting the perfect balance with a soft center and well done edges. (please consider opening on Sunday ) read more

The sign said " Be Gay eat a cookie" I knew I was in the right place. One of the best damn bakeries in all of NYC and it's not up for debate. A small bakeries but they're pushing out some of the best goods. Get one of everything! read more

I've been wanting to stop by for their seasonal cinnamon rolls (available on Fridays and Saturdays, with flavors rotating weekly) but I was also intrigued by their cakes which seem to change daily, and I saw they recently topped Infatuation's list for the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC. The shop is super tiny - there's no seating inside but there's one table outside under an awning. I was surprised that the choco-toffee cookie was only $4. The special cinnamon roll of the week was rhubarb blueberry ($9.50), and we got a slice of their strawberry kiwi cake ($10). The cookie is solid but nothing standout- crispy edges and chewy center but I didn't get much of the toffee flavor (I think I prefer the cookie at Pastry Box). The cinnamon roll was really good; the dough was chewy, gooey, and not bready at all. The only downside was it was really sweet - they topped it with a huge gob of icing and blueberry compote and crumble. Lastly, the cake was pretty but it was a bit of a disappointment. The strawberry and kiwi filling was fun, and I liked that the icing wasn't too sweet, but the cake itself was odd. It was too sweet and had an off texture - dry, crumbly, and dense. Overall not bad - I would come back for their cinnamon rolls but I'd probably scrape off a good amount of the topping to adjust the sweetness. read more

Stopped by a few months ago, and am sad to report initially forgot what we tried but I did grab a cookie! It's a tiny shop with no seating - def grab and go! I was bummed they didn't have any cinnamon buns - we will absolutely need to go back! I know people love this spot but as of right now - it was just OK. Will report back sometime! read more

I've enjoyed all the pastries I've tried from Red Gate, some more than others... Top picks: - classic cinnamon roll: filling is so flavorful and the cream cheese icing adds a lovely tang - carrot loaf cake: super moist, warming spices, cream cheese icing again - miso PB cookie: so unique and addicting! much more interesting than a standard PB - birthday cake: not as overly sweet as I expected! felt well balanced to me, which makes me want to try their other cakes too read more

＊ Pumpkin Olive Oil Loaf A comforting pastry gathering all the fall flavors and scents into cake form. After hearing glowing reviews about Red Gate's fall special loaves, I decided to swing by and grab a slice on the last day of October. So glad that I didn't sleep on this delectable fall treat. The loaf was packed with pumpkin and fall spice flavors, topped with luscious spiced cider frosting and toasted seeds. Olive oil made the cake extra moist, absolutely delightful. The deeply browned top was addictively delicious. If you are in search for an extremely pumpkiny pastry, Red Gate's pumpkin loaf won't let you down. read more

Pumpkin Olive Oil (4.5/5) This loaf is so damn good, the perfect indulgent fall treat (chef's kiss). It's deliciously soft and moist, packed with warm spices that really lingers (because I burped after 2 hours and it still taste like spices lol). The loaf itself is on the sweeter side, but still within my tolerance level. I scraped away all the icing on top coz it's too sweet for me, but for people who have a sweet tooth, that icing is spiced and tastes like fall! That candied pumpkin seed on top is also delish! Will I be back? Yes! I'd love to try their other treats read more

Phenomenal chocolate chip cookie. Worth the 20 minute wait on a Saturday morning for sure!

I really wanted to love this place--I'd read such glowing reviews and was excited to try it out. I placed an order for a small cake for my boyfriend's birthday on Tuesday, March 18th, for a Friday pickup. The ordering process online was smooth, and I appreciated that they were able to accommodate a change in my pickup time. However, my experience at the bakery left a lot to be desired. I arrived around 3:18 PM and wasn't greeted by any of the six staff members behind the counter. Most of them were chatting with a woman who seemed to be a former employee and had two dogs with her. The cashier was assisting two older gentlemen, so I waited in line behind them. Once they were done, I stepped forward to pick up my order--but before I could say anything, the woman with the dogs stepped in front of me. Since she had been there before me, I let her go ahead. What followed was an awkward five-minute wait as she and the staff had a personal conversation about her summer in Bulgaria (?), her family, if she'd found a new a job yet (no, she says), how she was taking the day to get a sweet treat, and other unrelated topics. At no point did anyone acknowledge me or ask if I needed help--until I finally spoke up and asked for assistance. Only then did the cashier retrieve my order. It was disappointing, especially considering how many other reviews mention issues with the staff's attitude. In a city full of incredible bakeries, service really does matter--and unfortunately, this experience just didn't meet the mark. I hope the team takes the feedback to heart and improves their customer service, because that small change could make a big difference. read more

RATING: 9.2/10 PRO TIP: If you've been hearing a lot about Red Gate Bakery, good. They're known for their cakes, but I'm more of a crumbly person, and everything I tried I was so happy with. They have interesting flavors, so lean on those rather than their traditional things, because they blend unique flavors well. MAPLE CINNAMON OREO You look at it and you think wow is this an oreo cakester - no it's better. It's soft, but still crumbly and brittle, and gives way to this smooth, decadent maple cinnamon cream that takes you on a journey of segments of flavor, surprisingly multifaceted in its flavor profile! Perfect fall little bite! PEANUT BUTTER MISO COOKIE Not only is the flavor of those nice and sweet with those little sugar crystals for crunch, and that nutty peanut butter but also that savoriness of that miso comes in as a strong support, without overtaking the sweetness. It's also not too sweet. The texture? Amazingly soft, but crumbly and just decadent. Will I be a repeat customer of this place, given so many great spots in the city? YES! RANKING: EXCELLENT (terrible / bad / ok / good / great/ EXCELLENT) read more

I was really looking forward to getting their signature chocolate chip cookie and made a special trip out to them to try some of their baked goods. When we got there they didn't have any chocolate chip cookies so we settled on the chocolate salted toffee one. It was good but I can't honestly give it very high marks as there are so many other places in the city which have better cookies. The staff was unfriendly and I just didn't get what the hype was about for this bakery. read more

This is one of the best bakeries in New York City. I recommend getting there early on the weekends so you can snag one of their special cinnamon rolls. The pumpkin olive oil loaf is perfect. The butternut squash bar is the best fall treat this year. The Reese's bun was absolutely delicious. The fig newton cake was spot on with its flavors. Service was amazing. Red Gate Bakery was one of the best eating experiences I've ever had. read more

I will say that all of the cookies are so soft, moist, and sweet. My favorite was probably the grapefruit white chocolate cookie because it was not too sweet, light, and had a touch of citrus. It cuts the sweetness of the white chocolate! The carrot loaf was a major miss; it did not taste like much, and the icing was too sweet. It just felt like I was eating bread with icing. I was a bit disappointed in it. Limited seating but the checkout area and kitchen is clean. Staff is also friendly and attentive. I wasn't sure what I would get as it was almost closing time, but they were very helpful and patient while I was choosing. read more

Stood in line outside waiting to order one of their famous cookies. Once inside, no cookies were left (except a bagel cookie). Looks like they had been sold out for a while.

I was thrilled to order from Red Gate Bakery after reading the rave Yelp reviews. However, the delivery experience didn't, well, deliver. While the Confetti Sugar Cookie and Oatmeal Cookje were some of the best I've ever had, the Homemade Oreos fell short. While the image on Seamless showed 3 cookies, the price was actually $3 per stale, burnt tasting cookie. Moving on to the Cake. It was less than impressive. Although the Instagram account advertised a Blood Orange Cake, however, we received a piece that looked like someone's reject pink wedding cake. Sadly, the frosting put the 'Butter' in 'Buttercream'. I can't speak to the ambience since I ordered delivery, but I'd recommend going to the bakery in person to ensure you get the items you're paying (a premium) for. read more

I have been wanting to come here for a really long time. It is a great ambiance and they have the perfect amount of choices, and a really homemade feel. According to their instagram page, they never repeat flavors of cakes, but they made an exception for the corn cake. I love corn, so I was looking forward. I also got the kitchen sink cookie. I really wanted to like this place. I did not love the cake, it was kind of dry and dense, and the buttercream didn't have much flavor. The cookie also just tasted like a regular oatmeal cookie, I couldn't even taste any other flavors like potato chips. Overall the cookie was just too sweet and nothing special. Im willing to give this place another shot but was not wowed. read more

Every time I've been here, I've been impressed! I will say that the cookie would be better warmed up! I ended up air frying the other half when I got home and it really added to the texture and flavor. The cake I got was their caramel apple slice. The layers and flavoring of it was amazing! A very complex cake with a huge pay off! I went around 2 on a rainy Saturday and they were unfortunately out of cinnamon rolls read more

NOT THE CAKE we ORDERED and expected !!! -SEE IMAGES We bought the Straw-Tachio Cake based on reviews for bakery and description/images of cake on website,... Details for disappointment: (Please see images) * Cake was RAW RAW and more unacceptably RAW * Minimal strawberry flavor throughout, and pink strawberry layers were missing * There was No pistachio flavoring in icing, only a few nuts for decor * Icing was not green as seen in pix on website (sometimes food coloring -understood) though no nut flavor -at all. * The icing between layers was the same non-pistachio flavoring * Unfortunantley, the cake ended up in trash (really) since it was inedible I sent a message to Red Gate via website stating our disappointment, /concerns and NO response....not best model for fairly new bakery. We will never never order another cake or any other items from Red Gate, based on experience with Straw-Tachio Cake, and no response via attempted contact via website. In meantime still searching for good bakery for birthday cakes (only) n NYC .... read more

I needed a last minute birthday cake today. Initially, I was going to go to Venieros as I've gotten cakes from there before, but I'm glad that I discovered Red Gate Bakery on a quick Yelp search. I was afraid that I couldn't get a full cake on such short notice as the website advertises that the cake is sold by the slice. Thankfully, the photos on their Instagram looked so amazing and enticing that I had to call to try to score a cake for today. The woman on the phone was super nice and helpful. I ended up going for a 6 inch lil pudding cake and it was just perfectly decadent, and not overly sweet. I could've finished the whole 6 inch cake myself. I took pictures of the other offerings and there were multiple items that have already convinced me to come back to try! Check this place out! It's been opened since 12/2019. If you're not convinced, check out their Instagram page! It seems like they sometimes have new creations not listed on their menu. read more

Seeing the rave Yelp reviews had me coming in when I walked by! It's a small bake shop but they offer unique cookies, oreos, cakes...all things sweet! Staff was friendly and asked if I had any questions. I ended up tasting some of their cookies, and while I appreciate the ingenuity, some if not most of them were WAY too sweet. Out of the ones I tried, my favorites were probably the confetti cookie (well balanced cake-flavored sugar cookie) and the spiced oatmeal cookie (tasted like fall in a cookie!). They have their flavors right, but I would recommend stretching and eating each one (they keep well in the refrigerator, just make sure to store them tightly so they don't dry out). Otherwise, I agree with the other reviewers that their cake are a bit of a miss - it tasted dry and lacked flavor. Overall, although the cookies are unique, they do just taste like a standard cookie would. I would give this place another shot and would support small business but wasn't blown away as of now! read more

What a lovely and artsy bakery located right next to Houston Street between East Village and the LES. I am a fan of cookies, which happen to be one of Red Gate Bakery's signature & best baked goods. We had Oreo, Salted Caramel Brownie and PB Miso Cookie as our first try. Our favorite was the brownie, the salty flavor was perfect with caramel and the texture was so creamy. The PB Miso was also decent, the taste of miso was appetizing. The Oreo was popular but just not our type. read more

Red Gate Bakery has some great goodies. And some of their goodies are very interesting (like they have something with peanut butter and miso, and an everything bagel cake). So far I tried the Vegan Vacation slice, iced oatmeal cookie, and homemade Oreos. The Vegan Vacation slice was probably my favorite of the three I've tried. It's super moist and brown sugar-y. It's supposed to be tropical tasting but I thought it had more of an oatmeal/brown sugar kind of profile. There are tons of other things I wanna try. Coming back 100% read more

These baked goods are a step up from everything you see out there. I ordered the slice of the day which was this epic cinnamon coffee cake crunch situation pictured in this review. I can't even begin to speak about this slice cake it was so amazing. I also ordered the caramel brownie and it was insanely delicious. I often order brownies and slices of cake from other top bakeries and all I taste is sugar, that is not the case here, these are complex developed flavors of true quality ingredients. Sadly, I ordered 3 slices of this "cake slice of the day" and only received one because they ran out -- and grubhub incorrectly allowed me to place 3 in my shopping cart. I called to inquire and the owner himself actually got on the phone to try and help and told me to call him back if Grubhub did not refund me for the slices and my trouble, which they did. Who does that? This guy did! Customer for life! read more
