Best babka I've ever had, ohhhh my goodness. Best bakery I've been to in a long time, and I am bakery-obsessed. Already dreaming of how and when I can make my way back to Park Slope just for this and the super chocolate-chip cookie. But that babka, this subtle mix of Nutella and chocolate (I don't even like Nutella) and the smooth, moistness of it all is so perfect, with this sugared little crispy bottom. Shoutout to Omri, a talented stop-motion artist working his last week, who was so warm and helpful to me. 5 stars!!!!

I love this spot! The baked goods are always on point! When they have the burnt cheesecake slices, I can't resist! Their coffee is magical and staff are always knowledgeable about the menu items. It is a small spot so can't really sit here and work remotely though people have tried.

The infamous Nutella Dark chocolate Babka Loaf
Ingrid P.

My dearest friend Nicole, volunteered to drive me to Bklyn, as I contemplated all day to go; because trains in the 5 boros run on a holiday schedule or just don't operate sufficiently! Pure nightmare. And I just don't like driving to Bklyn. Anywho...we drove from Manhattan, in a monsoon, insane traffic on the FDR to buy the infamous Nutella Dark Chocolate Babka Loaf at Yardsale Cafe. OMG‼ in less than 1 hour. I called Yardsale Cafe, they close at 5pm on Saturday and Omri, said he'll wait for me because we were very closed. Nicole & I arrived at 4:58pm. The welcoming was priceless and genuine, as they prepared to close. I never felt rushed, and that my animated energetic personality was truly well received. Loved itIt was so well worth it, meeting OMRI, buying my Nutella Dstk Chocolate Babka Loaf, and tasting the most heavenly cookie ever, The deliciously soft, warm Butter Pecan cookie. Simply AMAZING & a MUST have. .Actually in three (3) hours, I had the time & pleasure of my life. We visited local eateries like PATTIEBELL, Jamaican Food. BEST Oxtails, WOW‼ Ok, I'm on a mission (i must pray about), to rate the top "5" things most people enjoy, seriously sort after and they are: (1) Babka Loafs (i.e. Nutella Dark Chocolate Babka Loaf), (2) all natural ice cream (i.e. Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory) & (3) Little dessert cakes (i.e. Honey Cake), (4) best cookies & (5) Best bialys (Orwasher's). From Manhattan, Bronx, Bklyn, Queens & Staten Island. As a consumer first, I matter, as my insight, candid truth, advice & experience that should never be bias. However, customer service & care does matter the most to me. Hospitality, Kindness & Customer Service can make or break any dish, food or menu, in my opinion. I've tried a few Babka Loaves, all leaves you wanting more...but which one hit it out the park with a home run? That's the question, so stay tuned...Thanks for reading; as I do really appreciate you & YELP for this ICONIC platform for you.

Cinnamon roll
Ashley M.

This place has the BEST pastries!! (Better than Winner imo!) The Nutella babka is unreal. A perfect sweetness, a soft laminated texture, and huge too! (I wish I had a picture before I devoured it). And the cinnamon roll is incredible! I like the mild cream cheese topping, and it's perfect warmed up. Don't miss out on this place!

Dark Chocolate Nutella Babka 10/10!!!! I had a piece of this last week and it was so good that I went by in the morning before I flew home so I could buy a loaf. I wish I had brought home five loaves. I have had babka before, such as a loaf from Trader Joe's, which was seasonal. It was actually chocolate as well, but I would say five out of 10 at best . The loaf from Yardsale seriously is solid 10/10, no way you will ever find a better babka.

It's just the best babka out there. I've tested it even on my babka purist friends who swear on Oneg's (which I think is mediocre) and I'd say it comes out ahead of Breads Bakery in a competition. I mean it's a nutella chocolate babka! Of course it's going to be fantastic. I haven't tried their other baked goods yet but will do on my next visit.

It was quite hot when I was strolling around with a friend and I needed something refreshing so I got the lemonade which was nice and tart. I don't know how I didn't notice at first but the whole place was full of collectibles just like a yardsale (hence the name)! It was a unique experience for a cafe and it was enthralling looking at everything they carried. The cafe had a familiar and comforting vibe.

I tried a few of their pastries and it was flakey and delicious. The service was also very kind. And the shop is super cute with many vintage items. It's fun to just browse around when passing by.

a finely curated yardsale cafe.

I can't not give this place rave reviews. It's a Time Machine to a childhood i partaked (partook?!!) in. OMG and they make one of all time favorite deserts-for-brunch: cheesecake. My aunt used to make it fresh for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to be there this year so it totally hit the spot. Nostalgia galore.

Too Much Chocolate Cookie
Reema S.

The only words that come to mind with which I can explain my encounter with this café is fated coincidence. As someone who lives on the border of Sunset Park and Park Slope, my allegiances are usually with businesses on the southern side of the invisible class divide. I left my yoga class on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, sunny with a cool winter breeze going through my ponytail'd hair. It must be divine intervention for when I turned around and looked at the red awning, I was immediately drawn to check out this unassuming little café, tucked in snuggly along a long exhaustive row of retail real estate. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. The inside of this café is so warm and welcoming with its utilitarian floor, and dark wood walls, with all sorts of knickknacks for sale, and an expensive collection of records, together with the faint trill of edgy music of Tame Impala. Walking in here felt like a big warm hug. I was in the mood for a treat so I went with the too much chocolate chip cookie. Easily one of the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I have ever had, it was gooey in the center, chock full of chocolatey goodness, and crispy around the edges, and on the outside. Just an absolute textural dream. For $4.50. I could not believe the quality of the baked good that I was chomping on. I will definitely be back here to try their other offerings, but I just absolutely had to come here to sing Praise to this beautiful little neighborhood nook.

Chocolate cookie, cinnamon rolls, cheese burekas
Oana D.

This place is phenomenal. Their burnt cheesecake is incredible, we get it instead of cake for birthdays and celebrations. Coffee is also great and the matcha lemon cookie is SO good. The service is excellent too, the baristas are super friendly and chatty, will ask about your day, etc. And honestly maybe the best part is that the interior is full of cool old stuff (like you'd find at a yard sale!) and you're never bored waiting for your order.

Great place in the neighborhood we were staying in for a coffee or pastry. A bit of nostalgia hits you when you walk in as they sell vintage trading cards! So many of my childhood memories came back so vividly. The coffee was great. The cinnamon roll was delicious. I missed out on trying a slice of the burnt cheesecake, but can't wait to try it next time.

Came here during lunch to grab some snacks for a halloween party. Staff was super friendly and…read moreworked quickly. The menu includes a lot of standard options you'd expect, as well as seasonal releases that are more unique! I got two Chocolate Chip Cookies, a Confetti Cookie and a Cookies N' Cream Cookie. The Cookies N' Cream was my favorite, with the nostalgic taste of being like a classic chocolate chip cookie, but then the surprise richness of the white chocolate chips and Oreo crumbs. The Confetti was really good, what you'd expect and the Chocolate Chip Cookies are very standard as well, though much richer as it has large chocolate chunks. Needless to say all the cookies were eaten quickly

I've only had the Too Good To Go (TGTG) packages, but I do know that a lot of my peers love to go…read moreto Chip City. For me, I prefer insomnia, but I do agree that the cookies are bigger and more hearty at Chip City. The TGTG usually comes with 4 cookies (6.99$), the variety depending on the day, and it is only offered in the narrow sliver of an hour between 11 AM and noon, so I only really come when I have a dental appointment across the street in Tend, which means this is a nice treat after getting my teeth drilled. I've never been disappointed and will continue this tradition, especially since the staff are so friendly. Unfortunately, there's not really seating, but the location is good. I just wouldn't spend normal money on this since it's still quite pricey.

Ok this review might not be for everyone but Did you grow up eating Ring Dings and Twinkies ????…read more Well I found the perfect spot for you !!! My bestie told me about this spot and last year for her birthday she ordered the Ring Dings and boxed gifts . Can I tell you this isn't your old Ring Ding ! It's HuGE ! I finally stopped in for a visit and welcome to Betty Bakery in Brooklyn ( yeah I know I'm supposed to review Queens but I spend 1/3 my time out of the borough ) Located in Boreum Hill on Atlantic Ave between Bond and Nevins St is a quaint little shop that makes some retro goodies . They do other types of desserts but admittedly I love the Ring Dings . They are a chocolate lovers feast ! Thick chocolate on the outside cake inside with a bit of cream. The added twist they are sprinkled with cocoa powder on top . They also make vegan versions . The twinkies good too ! The only thing missing was the Hostess packaging ! One other thing they make small pies too both sweet and savory . I took home a steak and cheese pie that can be but in the over or microwaved and it was delicious ! Street parking but pretty much no existent since it's a residential/commercial area and stops right up the block from the B63 .

While it's a decent cup of coffee - there is a distinctly uncomfortable vibe about the place.read more
