The bakery is very cute and the service is friendly. But these pastries and bread left a lot to be desired. Oddly, all the pastries came out of the case cold - I didn't realize until I brought them home but they were ice cold, like they'd been sitting in a fridge. As a result, the flakey apple turnover was cold and dense. No flakiness at all. The Parisian baguette was dense and cold, almost stale tasting. No crispness whatsoever. Honestly I've had better pastries from a grocery store so overall it was pretty surprisingly disappointing. read more

So glad we decided to get a wedding cake--Blue Duck made it feel totally worth it. They were easy to work with, made a gluten-free tier that was actually moist and delicious, and coordinated with our florist to include real wildflowers that looked beautiful. It added such a special (and tasty) touch to the day. Highly recommend! read more

This local wast end bakery with a few spots has frown on me. At first I resisted but once they closed Riverhead it dawned on me we need more reliable bakeries out east. So when at the remaining locations O know I can get a variety of baked breads, the best Rugelagh and some albeit tooo neat .. some pies. So mot close to breirmere but respectable enough to grab for comp ay and please. read more

Bought 2 almond horns over a year ago. In the past they were moist and delicious. These were dry and hard and disappointing. Like biscotti. Gave them another chance last week and bought 2 more. I asked if they were fresh and staff there said made that morning. And again they were hard and dry. Very disappointing considering what they charge. read more

Amazing, they have REAL Sourdough bread, extremely delicious and healthy. Their cheese danish like dessert was scrumptious. These people are the REAL ok'd fashioned bakery. Please visit if you want the genuine bakery experience!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I was very disappointed when I went to Blue Duck in Greenport. It was a Sunday morning when one would expect fresh bakery goods. I bought a few pastries including a flakey apple turnover and an Almond Horn, to name a few. I was expecting the pastries be very fresh on a Sunday morning but to my disappointment they just came out of the refrigerator! My question is when - were these pastries baked. Were they day old and if so wouldn't they indicate that and discount them? Sorry Blue Duck I won't be back. A local on the North Fork. read more

This is an amazing bakery! The cinnamon roll was the best I ever had. The bread is fresh with natural ingredients.

This is the location were they bake on location. If you drive thru the narrow street next to the building there is parking in the back. You could also peek into the industrial looking building to see the actual baking go on. A previous reviewer made an odd comment that it's ugly. Well you know its freshly made and the baking fairy didn't deliver the bread. This ain't Manhattan where nothing is made and everything is delivered to stores from who knows where. Staff is young and can be aloof but that may be a North fork thing. The Riverhead location has a more knowledgeable and friendly staff. read more

Best blueberry turnover I ever ate. Nice selection of cookies. We tried the oatmeal/cranberry and the ginger snaps.

They have the best croissants and nut danish! All of them are good but the plain croissant you can just taste the butter it is so delicious! I also enjoyed their lace cookies and blueberry turnover. The turnover was the perfect combination, not to sweet but tasted perfect! The staff their is also very nice! They usually sell out of croissants by 10:30am so I would get there as early as you can! read more

Perfect Danish and Lace cookies! The coffee was so good too! And the service was outstanding!

We got pies, bread, pastries and cookies over three visits while staying in the area. Everything was first rate. The fresh baked loaves were magnificent with local cheese, and with a splash of butter and Jam. The pie was sweet, the crust toothsome. The cookies are old fashioned fun, especially the mixed Italian ones. Service was cheerful and efficient, as well as recognizing us the third time we stopped by, always a nice sign staff is paying attention. We will go out of our way to shop again. read more

Delicious delicious delicious! Went here to buy a cake for a friend's birthday. The selection was amazing and the cake we selected was just so fresh, delicious and looked beautiful too. Also tried some other items that were all just as good -- would highly recommend you try this bakery. You won't be sorry. read more

Blue duck bakery has fresh and delicious baked goods. I love their chocolate croissants and blueberry scones. Everything is fresh and their service is impeccable. If you are in Southold this bakery is the best and worth going to. read more

It's difficult to find a good bakery on Long Island's north fork but this multi location spot in Greenport is one of them. Nice, cozy little bakery that stays open pretty late in the summer, until 8:00. They have a good selection of baked goods such as pastries, breads, cakes and cookies. They have coffee as well. Tried their signature blue duck cookie and it was very good and not too sweet. The eclair was very good as well and the mini cheese cakes are creamy and delicious. Prices are a bit excessive, $17 for a tiny banana cream pie and we paid over $25 for a couple cookies and mini pastries but the quality makes up for it. The staff was friendly as well. Nice place to come for dessert and recommend. read more

I ordered several trays from the Blue Duck Bakery in Southold for my daughter's wedding (getting ready in the morning). The bagels, pastries and cookies were fresh and delicious! read more

These people are so kind! I live far across the country from my family and because of COVID could not fly out for my dad and brothers joint birthday party. I called the blue duck bakery the day of with a special request to drop off some goodies for my family. Not only did they accommodate my unusual delivery request they didn't ask for any additional charge. The cakes I ordered PLUS a bunch of other leftover goods (baguettes, crumb cake, croissants) were delivered to my family that night. They were so excited and it was a wonderful way to show them I cared even when I couldn't be with them. Truly these people are saints! And of course the pastries were crazy beautiful and delicious. Shop here ASAP!!!!! read more

I've recently heard a lot about the Blue Duck Bakery Cafe from several friends and had the wonderful opportunity to meet some members of the family at the Lenz Winery Farmer's Market last week. I've never been to the bakery nor have I ever seen it, which surprised me as I'm on the NoFo quite often. I now know where it is and plan on being a regular... Here's what went down for the carb debauchery (you all KNOW I love carbs, especially sweet carbs): Sweet Carbs: + Linzer Tart. It's one of my favorite types of cookies and usually is a good measure of how good a bakery is. Blue Duck's linzer tart was the way it should be, the cookie was extremely flaky, the top had a nice even layer of confectioner's sugar and the filling was a nice "not overly sweet" berry-esque filling which to me was tasted like it was comprised mostly of raspberries. Thankfully, there's wasn't overly seed-y as many other linzer tarts I've had end up being extremely seed-y and it becomes annoying to eat as the little raspberry seeds are stuck in your teeth! + Raspberry Rugulach. When I first moved to LI back in '92, there used to be a bakery called "Cheese N Stuff" in Setauket that made the best rugulach I've ever had in my life. It's also what probably contributed to me being a chubby growing boy...anyhow, Blue Duck's Raspberry rugulach was damn good. It was flaky yet "creamy" (YES folks, rugulach if done correctly, should have an extremely flaky almost creamy sensation to it) and the filling was very good. My only critique on this was that I prefer a much heaver sugar+cinnamon topping and it was a bit light on the topping LOL. I LOVE SWEET THINGS! :) + Crispy Apple Turnover. My father loved apple turnovers and so I was grandfathered in to loving them too. They had 2 types, shortbread and flaky. I opted for the flaky version and boy was it fantastic...If I remember correctly, it had icing on top which was oh so sweet, the apple filling inside was chunky, smooth, and sweet but not TOO sweet. It was done quite well and it was flaky, the way they should be. Non-Sweet Carbs: + Ciabatta. Thanks to Ina Garten, I've become a huge fan of ciabattas and Blue Duck's was right on point. The shape was long, wide and had the proper height and irregular shape that I like for ciabattas. I usually don't like when they look like they've come off the Pepperide Farm factory line...artisan breads should have a little bit of a rustic/irregular look and feel to them. The inside wasn't overly doughy and was awesome with my homemade rosemary olive oil, lava salt and black pepper. I ate all of this in 5-10 minutes, ALL IN ONE SITTING, and went on my merry way. I highly recommend Blue Duck as it's the best bakery I've been to recently and certainly is the best bakery on the East end of Long Island. On a side note, I also came here to disspell rumors from 3-4 people that I know, who've told me that Blue Duck uses frozen dough for their bread and that it isn't made fresh. I know my carbs folks and as far as I can tell, their bread is made from fresh dough daily and in fact was confirmed by me based on the taste of the bread. Frozen dough has a distinct characteristic to it with the staleness/flatness that you get upon baking it...I've also confirmed with the bakery owners that this indeed is NOT true! GO to Blue Duck for your carb fixations. THIS has been a review by Gaurav read more

Here's a no-frills bakery that doesn't care to create every single kind of cookie and cake heard of. What you'll find here is a slightly-smaller selection of cookies and pastries but you just can't help but feel like everything was made with love and care. I had a flaky apple pastry and an authentic duck cookie. The apple pastry was incredible, simply incredible. The pastry crust was indeed flaky and wonderful, the apples tasted like they had been picked in the morning, and the duck cookie was a pleasant sugar cookie with a unique hardened blue sugar coating on top. TL;DR Get the flaky apple pastry if you've ever enjoyed apple pie because this is like having one in your own little personal pastry. read more

The worst cake I have ever eaten! The banana bread wasn't cooked properly. Overall an extremely disappointing experience!!!!! The cake was a gift and I recommend the bakery, was very embarrassed. read more

Stopped there the other day and picked up an apple pie for our neighbor. She loved it and said it was better than briermere, which I was glad because I didn't want to wait on the long line at Briermere. I like them too but I am glad I found another option. read more

Delicious sweets! Great to grab something from here and then walk along the river. This bakery is fantastic

Such a great bakery. Very clean. Everyone is very friendly. Sit on the porch and enjoy the wonderful smells from the bakery. and the beautiful view. read more

Walking through town and stopped in for coffee and rugelah. Great coffee, OK rugelah (not much chocolate inside). Very friendly staff, great service. read more

I hate writing bad reviews. I always find the positive in things. The place is cute and the woman in line behind us was very nice. That's the positive to this experience. We were so excited to try the bakery. We love supporting local stores. We went in and my kids picked out some treats. My wife asked if they used lard in the pastry dough. The girl working the counter said, "I wouldn't know." When we saw she wasn't going to offer, my wife asked if she could find out. She made a call and said the bakers were going for the day. She wouldn't be able to tell us. The kids decided on a cupcake instead. We asked for it to be cut in half so they could share it. My son reached for it and dropped it on the floor. My daughter turned to my wife and asked, "Mommy, is the floor clean?" The girl behind the counter said, "I don't think so." Great answer. Terrible customer service. Pretty good baked goods. Definitely not worth going back. read more

Everything the Blue Duck makes is really great, but there are some things that they do so well it always keeps me coming back. One: their sunflower bread. Perfect toasted in the morning with berry preserves. Mmm. Just delicious and so fresh & crispy every time. Their cakes are also something special. Tried their red velvet and chocolate fudge, both were rich and delicious. It is undoubtedly the best bakery in Southold with all of its sugary and yeasty goodness. A Southold staple. read more

Came here recently because it my duty to bring dessert to a small family gathering. Had been wanting to try this Bakery after hearing such great things so here was my opportunity. It's very small inside as is the selection of baked goods but that's fine by me. Just tells me that everything is fresh and I'm not getting a 2 day old pie. I wound up getting the apple torte and everyone loved it. The apples were very fresh and the crust was light and flaky. I would defianetly come here again . read more

Great place for breakfast or lunch. They have great sandwiches made on their own brad. Delicious!

I went to the smaller store down the road in Greenport and just loved it. They had a really nice variety of items. The turnovers and duck cookies I bought were yummy and they even offered me a read more

Everything I have tried so far is delicious. The rugelach are the perfect balance of flaky and soft. The m&m cookies have a hint of almond paste so they are extra most and flavorful. The Chocolate chip cookies are buttery goodness. There were so many yummy choices. read more

From the outside place looks good, but could be better inside. I wish service would be better. Bread looks good, pie are not that good. Hope place will be better next year read more

When the Blue Duck opened I was super excited having heard very good things about them. The first times were great trying different breads and cakes. All good! Until the last 6 months, that is! In my opinion one of their best breads, besides the chocolate bread, is or should I SAY WAS the LIMPA BREAD. Now gone and forgotten By the staff at least. The loss of a wonderful bread aside the staff has descended down the slope of little knowledge... In the products they sell, to how to work the slicer, to ingrediance, and how to give change. A year ago this would have been 5 stars ... So disapointing read more

Best bakery I have been to in years, breads are wonderful and the staff is very welcoming and friendly.

Anything we've had here was either dry or hard or just not good. Your breads, cakes, pies were just not fresh tasting. Who makes this stuff for the prices you charge? read more

I believe their breads are the BEST on the East End, North and South fork. I always ask them to make a presentation bread, a very large round bread for different holidays and ocassions and everyone is impressed by it's size and fantastic crust and taste. All their breads are wonderful, rolls are super! read more

We were staying in the area, and tried this place on a whim. I am so glad it's not near our home, I'd weigh 300lbs!!!! Very nice staff, let's you "taste test", prices were fair, and the goods were phenominal!!!!!! read more

My husband went in this morning to see if they had pumpernickel bread the person behind the counter said "All out". My husband asked will you make more for tomorrow? She replies, "ah if I feel like making it"? We're local and I guess they don't cater to locals. That's fine we won't ever go in there again and we'll make sure we tell everyone about the nasty attitude. read more
