Okay pastries. I purchased four danishes, but they tasted a little dry. I will have to come back again to try some of their cookies.
Very disappointed. I used to love love love the jelly donuts. I just purchased one. It didn't look the same. It was $5 and it was not good at all. I don't even know what kind of jelly was in it. So sad I had to throw it away. Not to mention the bag was completely soaked with oil by the time I got home which is only two blocks. The girl working was sweet that's why I gave it 3 stars.
Old style Scandinavian bakery. Everything we bought was fresh and tasty. Standouts were the crumb cake, and cheese danish. A nice remnant of old Bay Ridge.
1st time going before closing & was greeted as I came in. Got loaf of Brioche bread which is firm and tasty. The walnut brownie was so soft, chewy, & very chocolatly. Will go again to try other pastries...
Without a doubt the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. This bakery is under new ownership. It’s just a matter of time before it closes due to its lack of standards and professional ethics . I ordered four loaves of seeded Italian bread for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.When I arrived at my destinations and cut into the bread, I realized it was made with semolina wheat. I’ve been ordering this bread since I moved into Bayridge in 2000. This is the first time it was ever made with semolina wheat. It had a totally different taste, and totally different texture. I called to bakery to I question why I was sold something I didn’t order. I was told they didn’t make semolina twist bread on Christmas Eve. Basically calling me a liar. I’ve had issues with this new management in the past. Let’s just say Customer Sevice is not their strong suit. Over the past 20 years I’ve spent hundreds if not, thousands of dollars in this bakery along with my extended family. I guess it goes without saying that I will never spend another dime in this place. What a shame. This was such a great bakery in it’s day …unfortunately those days are long past.
I came here for the first time yesterday due to all the rave reviews I read on Facebook. This place is an institution in Bay Ridge and justifiably so. Everything looks fresh and delicious. I opted to get some donuts and cannolis, which were both very good. I want to come back in the future to get their bread I heard the soda bread is great, black and white cookie that they are famous for and the danishes. The lady behind the counter was so warm and friendly. But, be forewarned. This place is cash only and prices are very reasonable.
Very disappointed in the changes. Their prices increased on the buns not even that tasty bread is good but I wouldn't be purchasing anything other then bread anymore big disappointment
Went there to pick up an online order. Service was quick, lady was nice. In and out in about 1-2 minutes. Everything was delicious; although, the items with filling were also very sweet. Very satisfied.
So i went to this bakery at around 5pm and the place smelled like pine or some type of floor cleaner. This cleaning should be done when you close. The number of pastries were limited. Too bad... was expecting something else.
Use to be a great Scandinavian bakery. Since new ownership they stop making wide selection of donuts, cakes. The bakery is leaning towards Italian bakery. The bread is not what it use to be.
