Bakery known for its macarons and they did not disappoint! A large variety of original flavors, took six home to split with my husband and we enjoyed every single one. The space inside is small, there is one table with a couple of chairs but I wouldn't come here expecting to lounge while you're partaking in treats. Good service but again, small space so if one party orders multiple espresso drinks it takes a bit for them to be made before the next in line can be helped. Docked one star because I also got a hot coffee to go and the bottom was full of grounds.

My employer recently treated us to a handful of these cookies and macaroons. Upon entry picking up the treats, it smelled absolutely delicious inside. A gentleman greeted us right away and had our order ready. The rainbow cookie with rice crispies inside wasn't that delicious. The chocolate chip cookie on the other hand was delicious especially after you warm it up a bit. I didn't try any of the macaroons since that's not my cup of tea. This is a nice place overall but I prefer Chip City over this bakery.

Coffee was so tasty. The cookie selection is unique and delicious. I had the praline one and it was to die for. They also had a good selection of other pastries. Scott, the barista, was so fun to chat with and had great recommendations. Just keep in mind that the place has no seating.

I got the Apple Crumb Pie cookie and it was pretty good. Very moist, cinnamony, and there are even apple chunks inside for that extra punch of apple flavor. The person behind the counter was also super sweet. My only complaint is that the cookie was $6 and it felt a bit overpriced for what it was.

I was walking around Brooklyn and wanted to grab some treats for my parents and came across this small bakery in Boreum Hill. As soon I saw these macarons, I was sold! Handmade fresh by the owner and head baker Scott Krevat, you'll find classic and seasonal flavors. I loved that these are not too sweet and you can really taste each flavor come through. My favorite was the churros con leche! + Churros con leche (5/5) + Cocoa cabernet (5/5) + Rainbow cookie (4/5) + Some seasonal flavor I forgot (4/5) Also not pictured was the blueberry crumb cookie, which was insanely good! I'll need to stop by again for their Nanaimo bars and cookies :) This place is small and definitely a grab and go. Also Scott is super nice and will help you pick out treats based on your preferences and palate. Follow my Instagram and TikTok @thephotographerfoodie for more! :)

Great neighborhood coffee spot. Love the pistachio milk option. Definitely will be back to try more things.

My friend and I were out for our monthly dinner on a recent Thursday night. We started our sampling of what this neighborhood had to offer at The Bearded Baker. We stepped into a small storefront area, that opened into the bakery area. We were greeted by what had to be the bearded baker himself. What a nice guy! Very proud of everything they've made. (There's a partner, not sure if they have a beard or not) The counter display features a gorgeous array of tempting treats. Based upon the Yelp reviews, I knew that we needed the cookie with the Rice Krispie treat inside and the chocolate butter cream bar. My friend added some gluten and nut free desserts for his family and I added a six pack of macarons for mine. He gave us a churro flavored macaron to sample and it was sublime! I've had several good macarons, this was better. It just seemed fresher, it was texturally perfect, just the right amount of resistance before melting into a burst of flavor. We had the chocolate and butter cream topped bar after our first restaurant stop, it was scrumptious! Rich chocolate, luscious butter cream, and a chewy base combined to form an upscale chocolate bar experience. After our second restaurant stop and gelato, we broke out the cookie filled with a Rice Krispie treat inside. While we were clearly not hungry by this point in the evening, this cookie still delivered! The Bearded Baker provided a great start and finish to a fun night in this neighborhood! P.S. the kids enjoyed the macarons also.

I've visited the BB at least 4 times and only tried their macarons. I have a macaron addiction. It's a tiny corner location. I've mostly been met by two guys who I assume run the operation. I'm not sure if the shorter stout one of the two is the actual BB... but he's never as welcoming as the other. Seems a bit silent grumpy. When you're making a selling macarons you betta be happy all the F'n time! Period. I like that they switch up the flavors but I recommend they have staples that are customer favs. The size of their macarons are a bit smaller than your average, more popable. But the quality makes up for this. Pricing is comparable. They are worth visiting but don't expect the BB to do backflips to welcome you... there's not enough room.

The cheddar bay scone was amazing. The outside has crusty cheese and the inside was fluffy with soft cheese. If you love cheese, this is for you!

Happened to pass by as I had work in the area. It smelled like heaven. I ordered the razzle dazzle and a brownie. Both to go as there is no indoor seating. Would recommend if you are in the area

Let's be honest, I've passed this bakery any number of times and always tell myself that I'll stop in. That day finally arrived, and a part of me wants to say that the anticipation was worth it. They take their time with their goods and it shows. On recommendation, I had the razzle dazzle and believe you me, I was razzled AND dazzled. Essentially a funfetti cookie, its a sugar cookie stuffed with a Rice Krispie. Excuse me? Yes, I know, I was also confused. I genuinely expected it to be quite sweet, but it wasn't and my palate was content. Apparently, they have a bit of a French influence in their style of baking-- so less sugar, but just as delicious. This is also apparent in their love of macarons, which I have yet to try. I also had a latte, because the coffee addict in me couldn't help herself-- delicious. At this point, it's not a question of if, but rather when I return. As always, happy eating and drinking.

I walked in with a list of 2 items. I left with 6. The guys couldn't have been nicer, helped me decide on a few things. The cookies are really good and creative. Seems like there may be an occasional miss but that's worth it for the hits that you wouldn't get without that creativity--the razzle dazzle for example, delicious. But the items that really wowed me were the scones. Went with sweet (triple berry) and savory (Swiss scallion). Dear god these things are good. I love scones--I'm Irish, It's in the DNA. But they can be dry crumbly affairs loaded up with the devil's candy, the raisin. The Bearded Baker scones on the other hand have just the right amount of firmness without being dry and crumbly. I'd say "moist" but that word is kinda creepy to people so let's just say "fresh." And that's because these things are indeed fresh baked. The talented bakers finished prepping the black and white cookie while I waited. There are a lot of bakeries. I suggest giving this one a shot. Let the guys guide you and help with the decisions. Get a few things to see what you love. Then make it a regular stop. Thanks Bearded Baker!

You have to get the Razzle Dazzle - it was literally the best cookie of my life. When I buy cookies, I usually end up only eating half and then taking the rest home for later, but this time I couldn't help but finish the whole mf. My friend and I were walking around Boerum Hill and stumbled upon this cute little store on the street corner. They had tons of macarons, but the Razzle Dazzle caught my eye. I'm really into rainbow sprinkles at the moment, so I had to try this thick af cookie. They had just finished baking a batch, so I got a fresh cookie straight out of the oven and bruh it changed my life. It was warm and soft and I had to be careful not to have it fall apart in my hands. The middle had melted marshmallow and rice krispies. I came back a second time to get a Razzle Dazzle but didn't ask for it warmed up, so it wasn't as life changing as the first time but still delicious. If you get a cookie here and want your life changed, you should ask to see if they can warm it up.
