I reached out to Samantha about a cookie order for my cousins bridal shower. I'm not super creative so I said just white frosting and some pearls for decoration. Sam made the most beautifully decorated cookies that were delicious to boot! The guests at the shower raved about the quality of the cookie and the beautiful decorations on them. Sam is flexible, responsive and all around the sweetest baker I've ever worked with, including bakeries that have a 'celebrity' chef at the helm. You're not just another customer when you work with Sam. If you have a special occasion or just want some tasty treats, I cannot recommend Samantha Bakes Cakes enough!

A lot of people rave about their croissants as some of the best in NYC... but their kouign amann…read moredeserves even more hype! I got lucky and snagged the limited blueberry pie croissant on its last day. Their croissants are literally perfect. Light, airy honeycomb interior, a super flaky exterior, and a deep golden brown. I might just start making regular trips to South Slope for these pastries! Their chef Claudio was so friendly! He even offered to help us cut the pastries in half, which is how we got those flawless cross sections. *Blueberry Pie Croissant $11.5 The croissant was stuffed with blueberry jam and whipped vanilla cream! You could tell the jam was homemade with so many real blueberry bits, and they didn't hold back on it! The oat streusel on top was so good I was picking up every last crumb off the plate lol. * Kouign Amann $5.5 What really blew me away was their kouign amann... the outside is crunchy, sticky, and coated with a generous sprinkle of sugar. It's super buttery and pulls apart perfectly with gorgeous honeycomb layers. *Ham and Gruyere Croissant $8 I usually go for savory pastries, so this one's a solid pick especially for breakfast. They were all gone by around 10 on a weekend.

I purchased a large loaf, and then went home to eat it. The bread was good, but not worth the $12 price tag. Is everybody in Park Slope rich?

This review is WAY overdue... I needed a cake for an event at work. Something that spoke to my…read morestore, the event itself and of course tasted good. Bites Bk was my 1st choice, but due to timing I looked elsewhere. Lo and behold I ended up calling Claudine anyway... because my heart and belly wanted some of her cake. She took my call, brainstormed with me and came up with THEE perfect cake! I am normally anti fondant, due to its lack of taste. Claudine assured me taste would not be an issue... of course she was RIGHT, or I would not be writing this review! The cake became the centerpiece of my event, receiving positive reviews from my guests and coworkers! Months later... I was fortunate enough to work with Claudine on yet another event. This time we went the way of foods for a baby shower. Two words: JerkTains! If you havent... stop reading and order NOW! The sweetness of the yellow plantains combined with the jerkiness (yes I made up a word) of the meat... I knew this was going to be a hit! But you know, yoi cant just order ONE thing right? As a fan of Claudines work, I gave her the okay to bless us with custome cookies AND chocolate covered oreos, all within the colors and themes of the event! I cannot wait to host another event. I mean, if they start doing meal plans IM IN! Claudine you NEVER disappoint honey! Bites BK for ALL of your catering needs! The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Had I known how great BK Bites would be I could have spared myself HOURS of fretting. Claudine really knows how to run an excellent business. She has a responsive and professional staff who showed up promptly with the array of beautifully prepared appetizers I had chosen. They were even ABOVE and beyond serving and setting up a raft of additional catering items my daughter had required. That was one aspect of the job I was quite concerned about, but I need not have worried. Claudine is very responsive to the client and took charge of our every need for this event. She even showed up personally with her crew to get everything in place before our party. The food was excellent too. I love the variety of appetizers we picked. (fruit skewers, beef satay, caprese skewers and cucumbers w hummus along with empanadas.) You don't need to worry about a thing when BK Bites is in the job! thank you, Claudine!

This bakery specializes in unusual flavor combinations and they do it exceptionally well…read more On our first visit, we were immediately greeted by a friendly counter person. We had incredible customer service. They were very kind. We bought a masala chai chocolate chip cookie and a slice of sumac strawberry labneh cake. The cookie was the right amount of sweetness and well spiced. The cake slice was dense without being too heavy. The frosting was light, airy, and absolutely divine. There were also many strawberry pieces throughout the bottom layer of the cake. It was absolutely delicious! On our other trips, we have had the same friendly and amazing customer service with all of the employees. A small group of us have gone a couple of times and tried the vanilla raspberry jam filled cake with marshmallow topping, a citrus olive oil cake with a hard vanilla icing, a passion fruit Thai tea cake, a chocolate chocolate cake slice, and a cherry rose flavored sugar cookie. We all enjoyed everything. The only down side is that the cake slices are a bit pricey but you will be getting quality ingredients and unique flavors you can't get elsewhere. It is well worth it. We will definitely be back to try new flavors as they seem to change every so often.

INSANELY GOOD PASTRIES AND COOKIES AND DOUGHNUTS AND... ALL OF IT! So sad that this piece of heaven…read moreis tucked away around a corner. It's damn near a crime. The space is small and dark, but everything is clean and well maintained. I remember thinking "Regina" owned the bakery when I first went inside lol, but I learned that it just means queen in Italian. As for the food, I tend to stay away from black and white cookies outside of Jewish bakeries as they're often disappointing, but these are right on par! Soft cookie, solid, but soft icing. Exactly like a Jewish bakery. The rainbow cookies have spongy cake and the right amount of jelly between layers. The chocolate isn't waxy as often happens in refrigerator cases. The pignoli cookies are another winner, although I preferred the pignoli free version, the amaretti. Chewy on the inside, a little crunch on the outside, just like they should be. And a light dusting of powdered sugar. Jam cookies and crystal sugar sprinkled cookies were similarly delicious. Apple turnover was full of apple and yummy filling, without tasting fake or preserved. Nothing at this place lasts long enough to need to be preserved! The muffins are inventive. I don't even think I covered everything... I got way too much and yet not enough. That's my only gripe is that some of the stuff I look forward to is sold out lol I really have to try the Cannoli! I know, I know... Marie is a wonderful host, as was the employee who served us. They will describe any dessert for you and box it up how you want it. They'll even make recommendations. I decided to write this review now because I can't stop thinking about going back.

Hit or miss with several of the bakery items. Some are tasty, others dry out pretty quickly. I…read moreshould not have to put an hourglass on the counter when it comes to purchasing this stuff. I also find a lot of it does not hold well. The cookies crumble quickly and the apricot hamantashen is fairly bland. I also got a raspberry one that is decent. Their black and white cookie stands up well to most others in the city. They also proudly sell Linzer tarts, which I had to get, and hopefully it holds up. If not, it will not bring this review down any further. I know what this bakery is without having to do that. I will stick with Cuccio's.

After some terrible heartburn at a nearby restaurant, I needed something to help counteract the acid party in my stomach. Ice cream is the name of the game! Thankfully it is a relatively short walk from said restaurant, and I could not be any happier with the overall outcome. The service is a delight, a delight in that I can (and did) try as many flavors as my heart (and stomach) can handle. I especially like how the employees take pride in this, knowing that you will be happy with whatever you choose. To save you from further boredom, I will keep it simple for the rest of the review so you can get on with your life. There is a lot to pick from. The ice cream is expensive but you get what you pay for here. Mix it up a little bit so you have your own intimate experience. Ice cream is a great date food, a great solo food, something to enjoy with a child, as a child, or bring out the inner child in you. And who can resist holding something so decadent in something even more decadent? This ice creamery... which is simply... irresistible.
