Settepani Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

When I'm tired of bagels for breakfast. Settepani offers up the most delicious pastry, baked good options, I find it hard to choose. Today's haul: cheese danish, apple danish, croissant, and apple turnonver. All for less than $8. Happiness!!! read more

Worst croissant I have ever had. Tasted like something purchased from a street cart. Not what I expected when I entered this bakery for a quick breakfast item. Awful. Maybe croissants just aren't their thing. Perhaps other items are better. Coffee was pretty good, but they've only got small cups. read more

We were touring Brooklyn looking for a good bakery while trying to kill some time waiting for a lane @ Brooklyn Bowl. It was late on a Sunday afternoon and most of the places we visited had already wiped out their inventory for the day. Settepani had a decent inventory and our group of six sampled much of it. A couple of cup cakes, an eclair, a macaroon and some chocolate cake I think everyone was satisfied with their choices. I won't be going out of my way to go back but if I ever find myself in the neighborhood with the need to satisfy a sweet tooth I would def go back. read more

Nice selection of baked goods. Shockingly inexpensive. Broken espresso machine was irritating considering she looked at it for 1 second and said "it's broken" which made it look like she just didn't want to make a latte. The treats we got were pretty good. However, Fortunato Brothers is right down the street with a much better selection, comparable prices and a working espresso machine. read more

We celebrate virtually everybody's birthdays at work and I'm usually the person in charge of getting cakes for my colleagues. After hearing that one particular colleague wasn't that big a fan of cakes, but was instead a big fan of pecan pie, I knew I had to find a pecan pie for him. After a quick search on Yelp, this place popped up, and voila, it was only about a 7 minute walk away from my apartment. I call up the bakery, speak to a man, who takes down my name, phone number, and my order. I admit, I was kind of skeptical since the man never took down any information in order to place a down payment for the order. He swore that the pie would be ready for me in the morning. When I get to the place, a very nice woman helps me. Indeed, my order was ready to be picked up! Bonus: sales tax was not added! I take the pie back to work, which was a big hit with the colleague who it was meant for, as well as some of the other staff members. The best part of it all? The 10" pecan pie I had gotten for him was only $13. Comparable bakeries would charge nearly double that amount! I was instantly wow-ed by my experience and I will definitely be coming back here for more baked goods in the near future. read more

Delicious cakes at awesome prices. This is my "go to" place for birthdays/special occasions (yes, I'm the designated "cake buyer"..lol). Rather than writing a long ass review I'll just tell you this..you cannot go wrong getting a cake from Settepani. Just make sure you give the cheesecakes ample time to defrost..learned that one the hard way! read more

Best thing about this bakery, is that it looks good as it smells. You get what you see and smell. They have ALL cakes and seasonal hits. Pies for every holiday. Do get the Pecan Pie celeb index (1-5) 0 (its a hidden gem, that celebs order from but dont show up Gorgeous and Sincere (1-5) 2 Not known yet read more

Settepani Bakery - We couldn't have done it with out you Settepani! DELICIOUS. Go Minecraft! Go Settepani! Grazie mille. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Yuck. Old, stale and gross. I live in the neighborhood and have now given this bakery two chances and both times the items were inedible and clearly several days old. Tonight I picked up a few tarts, macaroons and several other items for a dinner party and they were all completely disgusting. I was embarrassed to have brought them. I DO NOT recommend this bakery at all. I honestly don't understand how they are still in business. read more

They make the best rainbow cookies and cakes. Always a good time w Settepani treats!!!

Yucky. The cupcakes were stale and the icing tasted like pure Crisco. The glass of milk for my daughters was warm and when the employee came (from the back room) to help me, he brought a STRONG scent of marijuana with him. This is the second time I've tried this place and it was a big disappointment both times. Won't try my luck again. read more

I purchased an Oreo cake, brought it home just in time for the party and boy was I embarrassed and disappointed. This cake was meant for a surprise birthday party. The disappointment was due to the cake's dryness and hardened frosting. The reason this would be is because the cake was not made fresh. It was not moist at all. The cake was not too sweet which was a plus. Serving a piece of the cake ended up being into several small pieces because of the dryness and hardened frosting. I also purchased some individual single serving cake that was real good. Chocolate mousse was excellent. My wife's passion fruit was too sweet. read more

- This is now my 'go to' bakery for sweets -Authentic, high quality ingredients -Large selection with a nice variety/range of flavors for everyone -Prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the cakes I saw on display - I can't believe it took me this long to try it! -Obsessed with their almandine tarts. read more

I came in here the other day and purchased a coffee flavored mousse cake. The decorations and the design of the cake was very appealing. It tasted just as good as it looked. The service here is great. The ladies here help you right away without the snobby stuck up attitude. Settepani doesn't disappoint. They're pretty consistent with their goods and customer service. read more

Worst bakery ever. Not only are the pastries disgusting so are the people who work there. I've lived across the street for 13 years and they have garbage trucks, delivery trucks, all kinds of trucks coming around all night. They leave them running all night and when I politely ask to shut the trucks off at 2 am because nobody is occupying them, douche bag said "call the cops." Sad. F settepani! read more

Came here this evening before dinner to have a look since I was in the area. There was a lady behind the counter when I walked in. She silently gawked at me then ignored the fact that I was there. I said hi and asked her how she's doing and she just looked at me. Such wonderful staff! After a minute or so of me looking around, she disappears to the back. Another gentleman comes out shortly afterwards and he was more friendly. Told me that everything's baked in house and told me his favorite cookies. I saw macarons and asked how much they were. Only $1! Also told me that only the purple ones are fresh since the rest are a bit stale. I initially purchased one purple macaron to test it out and ended up purchasing a few more since it was fresh, crispy, and delicious. Kudos to him - he's the hero of the night. However, for the other pastry cookies, it was dry, tasteless, and overall a disappointment. 3 stars total for the FRESH macarons (seems like a rarity based on the other reviews) and the gentleman behind the counter. read more

Yet another Williamsburg mainstay makes the cut in AOL CityGuide's 2007 City's Best nominee list. Who can deny the power of fresh baked bread? Not I... read more

Caught in one of the endless summer storms yesterday, my girlfriend & I ducked inside to hide from the rain. Not wanting to use a business for merely shelter, we grabbed a biscotti, espresso and a cappuccino. The chocolate and hazelnut biscotti was, unfortunately, rather stale and unremarkable. I was trying to be caloricly responsible, otherwise I would have gotten one of the dozens of different deliciously decandent desserts filling the cases. What brought me to Yelp about this place was not to complain about the biscotti - it was to alert everyone that this place makes the world's best cappuccino. Rich, flavorful, with a perfect balance of milk & espresso - you could not find a better cappuccino, even in NYC. Or Portland, apparently, as my girlfriend attested. If a Portlander is raving about a cappuccino, you KNOW that means something big. Don't wait for a rain storm! Go grab a cappuccino and a fluffy, fat slice of napoleon cake. read more

Shame on me for going here after getting stale baked good multiple times!! Well I'm officially done with this bakery, once again they sold my husband very stale bread this morning. There are too many other bakeries in this neighborhood, I'll take my chances trying them out rather than supporting a business that lacks intgrity! read more

i love the ladies of settepani. i love the delicious baked goods they churn out. i love their coffee (and how cheap it is). i love that when i used to live around the corner the whole block would smell like glorious baking in the morning while i grimly trudged to the L train. i love that any encounter with the people working here immediately improves my mood. they make a mean cookie, these fine folks. and marzipan! i love marzipan. oh add that to my list of things i love about this bakery. and then go there and make your own. read more

This is the second time I've gone in and bought macarons and had them crumble when I touched them. It's pretty disappointing. Their coffee is not great but it's close to my office. The baked goods are never fresh here and I'm going to avoid coming here from now on as I've learned my lesson. I see other reviews saying similar things, and I wonder why the owners don't bother to keep the place stocked with fresh goods. Seems like they just don't care. read more

never really had any pastries here. this, my friends, is not a review about the pastries. this is a review about how settepani changed my tastebuds. i hate coffee. hate it. refuse to drink it. i refuse to drink coffee, unless it is from settepani. somehow, they've made sugar and spice and everything nice into a coffee. i don't know, guys, this coffee is magical, and that's saying something, coming from a former barista. read more

Pricey dried, old pastries and a nasty attitude. Please save yourself the aggravation.

I usually go to Fortunato's because it's closer and has nicer seating, but I think the pastries here are better. The staff are always really friendly and patient with my indecisiveness. read more

There's something going wrong at this bakery. With multiple tries I have yet to get anything but stale, dried out "treats" at this place. It's especially aggravating bc the items appear to be absolutely perfect, but in my experience they almost couldn't be worse. One extra star for a decently maintained counter/table area and pleasant enough staff. Unfortunately the most important part of the operation is very poor. read more

Sette Pani is a wonderful neighborhood bakery, with a wide variety of pastries, pies, cakes, and cookies, all made on site, and frequently shockingly inexpensive. Their homemade chocolates, different based on upcoming holidays, currently run $22 per pound, and are worth every penny, especially as gifts. Get there before 6 to get a better selection of breads. read more

Lots of pastry options. Was excited to see French macarons for only $1, but there is a reason - skip these. The coconut macaroons were however delicious! 4 stars because it's just a cool neighborhood vibe and you can't not find something there you like; great place to get a hostess gift read more

I accidentally stumbled upon this bakery on my way to the L train. Their goodies are very appealing and the prices for it are a bit surprisingly reasonable for the area. Not to mention, the place is very tidy and clean. They also sell chocolate by the pound. I only got a Palmier which was HUGE for only $2. They have specialty cakes as well. I will definitely be returning to try out more yummy pastries if I ever come back here. read more

old school italian bakery focaccia is great - get the one with onion, tomato, and moroccan olives. Hmmmmmm. read more

I have managed to avoid this place for months. The window looks so tempting and I say no, no, no every time I happen to pass. The combination of hunger and a two mile walk weakened me. This place is pure pastry heaven, it smells like a sugary cloud and I am sure the lovely ladies that work their are angels. I stare trying to pick one thing, just one thing. Which is hard because the options are seemly endless. I pick the rainbow cookies, 1/2 dozen for $4, very reasonable. Beyond yummy!!! They have pies, cookies, marzipan an all things delicious. Great place to stop for a snack, or a food gifts to impress. read more

Black and white cookie was stale, crunchy on the tips, and dry. Cake was pretty decent, the price was amazing. So for all that I have to give 3 stars, sorry folks. read more

Know them forever best bakery in the USA. Nino and his family are the nicest people and recommend them highly.

I was sold on this place simply by the marble cheesecake. The cookies are ok, but the cheesecake! I wanted to reserve a slice (not the whole cake) for a birthday but while they told me they don't sell by the slice, they were incredibly kind enough to actually make me a personal sized cake with writing on it for only a couple bucks. I was surprised at first they'd actually go out of their way to make the cake so small and without typically doing this for a marble cheesecake, but for it to be so inexpensive too... that's unforgettable. It was a great birthday surprise. read more

This place has amazing pastries and cakes. Lots of selection. Family run and inexpensive! read more

Settepani Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Although I think the customer service is great, the pastries taste awful. It looks great but tastes bad. I don't know if the pastries are fresh but I recently went to this place because my patience had run out with the Fortunato Brothers pastry store. I ordered two boxes of their single pastry items. I bought it over to my cousin's house & they said it didn't taste good. I then tried the chocolate cupcake & the chocolate small cakes and found it to be dry and had an after taste. The only thing that tasted okay was the chocolate mousse single small pastry. read more

I have lived a mile down the road for a couple of years and never stopped in. This afternoon I decided to get something sweet to go with my afternoon coffee. I usually just pick up a donut at Dunkin Donuts but decided to try Settepani. Everything looked really good in the case. I ordered a custard filled eclair to go. When I got home and bit into it, the custard was rubbery and had that icky stale refrigerator taste-it was definitely old and I had to throw it out. Needless to say I'll get my afternoon sweets at Dunkin Donuts where I can count on a fresh cream filled donut for a dollar rather than a stale eclair for 2.50. read more

I walked by this bakery today on my way to a 5k run in the park. I figured a little cheesecake on the way back home could cancel each other out for the days calorie intake. I think I burned more calories trying to eat through that hard and stale cheesecake than on my run. I also bought a slice of carrot cake for my boyfriend which after he discovered in my fridge and tasted it asked how long I've had it for. Not even worth being called a bakery if you don't have good carrot and cheesecake. Waste your calories on a cocktail instead. read more

Before I start, I just want to announce how wonderful the employees are.. Most of them anyway. I went in the morning a few times, and the woman wasn't the most pleasant person who's ever helped me. But the evening people, are just charming. I've grown to love them. Actually... Them, and the coffee are the only reason I choose to go back there. I've tried various different cakes from this place, and none of them were very delightful. AT ALL. The butter cream? Horrible. The cupcakes? DRY . The bread? Usually hard as a rock. Custard éclair? Ew? I've tasted close to everything at this bakery, and I'm not impressed. Not even the slightest bit. But. Who can turn down that delicious $1.00 coffee, and those inviting smiles from a few of the girls working in there. Also; It's a bakery. It's bound to have a few mice. But mice running out in front of costumers? Not so good. That's one thing they need to seriously take care of. I drink the coffee, because it's pretty much impossible for the mice to get to.. But I would advise everyone to take second looks at everything before eating it. I've heard a few horror stories about that place with the mice. Someone I know once got a few cookies, and they actually had little nibble marks in them. If that's not disgusting enough for you, what about having mouse droppings in your pastry box? As previously stated, I go for the coffee and the loving employees. I think I'll stick to Fortunato's for everything else. 2 stars for those girls in there ! read more

Hi everyone! Well this bakery is not the best I have seen in my day...it's actually pretty disgusting. The food there is horrible, the cakes and pastries are not to die for. The cookies are ridiculously dry. I've been to many bakeries and this one is by far the worst! It looks like the owner can't even afford the at the least make this bakery look decent! It is infested with mice. My husband went to buy bread one day and told me he would never go back there again because there were mice on top of the bread. The only good thing about this bakery are the young ladies that work there. They are very polite, funny and outgoing. However, there is one man that works there on the weekend mornings who is ridiculously rude to everyone! My husband told me that the owner is nice, but he does not dress presentable. The front of the bakery looks like a run down rat-shack. The inside looks even worse. And I'm not speaking display wise referring to pastries, cakes, etc. But just the whole design is disturbing. I mean, you ARE a business owner....where do you invest all you money if you don't invest it in your business? Well that's just my opinion. Thanks! Michelle read more
