    Baked goods
    Mei C.

    Came in during the weekend; by mid afternoon fresh baked breads were basically sold out. Got a Apple Strudel and a mini cannoli- both tasted good. The strudel had a lot of sweet apple filling; though the pastry wasn't as flaky and crispy as I had hope for. Counter staff was friendly and gave some good recommendations about their popular pastries and sweets. I'll surely remind myself to come in earlier to purchase their tasty breads. Overall, a good bakery

    Word in the halls of Walgreen indicated that there's a hidden gem across the street. A conversation was struck while we all waited for our vaccine and the woman said her friend used to work at the bakery nearby, called 18th Ave Bakery. It was as if she read my gluttonous mind, she knew it had been a while since I laid my hands on some delicious rainbow cookies. I popped over to the shop and was welcomed by a gentleman behind the counter with his beaming smile and gracious demeanor. He was a pleasant individual equipped with a great sense of humor and a refreshing amount of enthusiasm talking about the baked goodies in the store that any customer would love to encounter. I asked whether he has rainbow cookies, and he was almost appalled that I never heard of his decadent colorful morsels. "You've never had a rainbow cookie until you've had mine! No one makes them like me," he exclaimed. One bite, all it took was one bite, and it was heaven. Chi non ama una buona pasticceria italiana? Grazie, grazie mille!

    This is one of the last surviving original Italian coal oven bakeries in Brooklyn. They have the best seven layer cookies I have ever had in my life and an array of traditional Sicilian pastries like cannolis, lobster tails, napoleons and more. Their bread is famous in the area and I wish they had bread like this in Florida. They don't use any preservatives.

    Their business card
    Stefanie B.

    I had just had a driving lesson at Brooklyn driving school and upon walking home found this bakery; I ordered the rainbow cake slice thing and took a business card. The cake was moist, fresh tasting and delicious not artifical-tasting, dried out or stale like other bakeries I've tried in the area. So glad I took a business card, I'll definitely go back.

    Old world Italian Bakery in the heart of what used to be an Italian neighborhood. While the neighborhood changed the bakery kept its charm.

    Simply the best Italian Bakery in Brooklyn. The cannolis are supreme, the fruit pastries light and sugary, and the breads superb.

I've been to both locations--the Times Square one is much smaller, but the Brooklyn location is amazing with a nice sit-down area. I always go back to my favorite, the tres leches cupcakes. I've also tried the lobster tail--it's delicious. Definitely loved it!

I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

    Radio Bakery... is perfection. I completely understand the line…read more I first ordered the heirloom tomato & feta sandwich, which was unbelievable. It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

    Worth the hype but be mindful of the lines!…read more 5/5 Vanilla Kouign Aman was flaky and tasty, with that melted vanilla ice cream flavor and creamy layered middle of pastry 4/5 Heirloom Tomato Tart was also very flaky and well made. I though the cheese was light and nice but could have used a bit more flavor, maybe salt or pepper Sunday 12:30pm line took about 40 minutes (it went to the end of the block). The line is organized but not ideal waiting in the full sun. Staff was really efficient once you are inside
