    Chicken Empanada.
    Emma G.

    Once I discovered that there was a bakery within 10 blocks of my job with Booty in the name, I had to investigate. I came by here on Thursday for a light lunch and to pick up some pastries for my co-workers. This involved an eventful walk down 8th Avenue highlighted by an SVU set nearby; I of course paused for a few minutes to try to find Mariska but was unsuccessful. Anyway. Not much of a negative, but I WAS a little surprised that that the back of the space wasn't as customer friendly - there's a lot of inventory stacked up, and it's kind of drab. And maybe that's partially because by definition, the front and exterior is VERY much not drab at all - as you'd expect, there's a lot of rainbow colors and cartoon depictions of a guy with his rump sticking out. When you have a theme, you have a theme. But if they have the ability, I'd recommend spiffing up the back area, because if it had been more hospitable I would have taken advantage of it. Since I was pretty hungry, I decided to get an empanada (initially I went with beef but the guy behind the counter recommended chicken since it was fresher and made that day - points for and against there. Appreciate the honesty and pivot (and it WAS fresh), but not great that there are not-fresh empanadas from the prior day prominently displayed. Random food trucks around the city shouldn't have a noticeable edge on a bakery. The empanada was tasty and flavorful, but for the price was actually pretty expensive, and I say that as someone who's grown pretty desensitized to NYC prices. It cost about $5 and I got literally three bites out of it. It should be at least 50% bigger than it is. I also got a guava turnover, which was decent as well. Guava is one of my faves and to me a very underrated filling/flavor, so I'm always glad to see it getting its due. The top of the turnover had sugar granules on it (also something I tend to like for both texture and taste reasons), but it was a little too much - it made the pastry too sugary which I know is a strange complaint for someone who knowingly walked into a bakery. The cupcakes and cookies I got were warmly received by my colleagues and demolished within an hour or two (I got a variety of each), so that's also another positive. I had a hunk of the M&M cookie on my way back, which was slightly undercooked, just the way I liked it. The gentleman who assisted me was perfectly nice (and the chicken empanada recommend is a big selling point) and offered up suggestions on the best options for the variety pack we collated. My only real issue is he didn't provide disclaimers about the bag fees - he offered to put everything in a bag (because why wouldn't you?) only for me to find out when I got rung up that I was charged $0.25 per bag. Now, that's not going to break me but that's more of a principal thing. Tell people when you're assessing additional charges for the choices they're making. Left a bad taste in my mouth that the guava wasn't able to totally fix. I'm probably not coming back here for a big order, nor for an actual meal (even a light one, since I ended up having to buy an emergency hot dog on my way back to the office to fill me up a little more). A random pastry on my travels through Chelsea? Sure. But I think there are better price points out there, strange as that is to say in this inflationary environment. Cool name though.

    So rude, unbelievable!

    1 star, less if possible. As longtime customers of Big Booty Bread Co., my friend and I were deeply shocked and disappointed by the treatment we received during our recent visit. We've always appreciated the café for celebrating Latin American culture--but ironically, we were met with hostility simply for speaking Spanish. When my friend placed our order in Spanish, the woman behind the counter immediately shouted, "I don't speak Spanish," and became aggressively rude. She threw our order on the counter and continued yelling at us, creating an incredibly uncomfortable atmosphere. The situation escalated as we were leaving, when she loudly--and falsely--accused us of using a slur, in front of another customer who witnessed the entire thing and was visibly stunned. We left feeling humiliated and completely unwelcome. It's appalling to be treated this way, especially in a business that claims to celebrate Latin American heritage. No one should face aggression for speaking their native language. I sincerely hope the management addresses this woman unacceptable behavior and ensures all customers are treated with respect. P.S. I'll miss the "cortado" and the delicious "pan de bono" but luckily there are other places with better service.

    Stopped by Big Booty Bread and tried the red velvet cookie--absolutely delicious and worth the $5. The bakery has a great selection of pastries, drinks, and desserts, so there's definitely something for everyone. Cozy spot and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

    I've had this place on my list for a while, and am very happy I came out this time! I came here to try the cheese rock or pan de yuca - so chewy and savory. Staff was incredibly friendly and patient, and I will definitely be returning to try some other Columbian pastries!

Warmed my heart!! Check them out! So much to choose from look for yourself! && the pastries were so damn good soft chewy sweet didn't feel gf to me. Enjoy!

    Cute little shop in the heart of Chelsea. Tried the cookie cupcake but was not a fan. Frosting was overly heavy and hard. I liked the concept of it, but I guess the frosting did not consider the extra sweetness from the cookie itself.

    I was able to get three cupcakes at a discounted price. The cupcakes were delicious. However they are too expensive. I'd give this place 4 stars if they were cheaper. Hard to justify their price tag imo. They are good but nothing special.

    Big bootie bakery seemed like a gimmicky joke every time I would pass by it and see the funny sign but then I decided to try it. On my first visit I got a chocolate marshmallow cupcake. The cupcake was disappointing as the chocolate part was dry and lacking flavor. My opinion changed after my 2nd visit when I tried their guava pastry, it was flaky and stuffed with delicious guava. After that my friend and I have returned many times and my absolute favorite is the chocolate brownie. The brownie is absolute perfection, it's so good that I can myself getting a big bootie/belly since it's so addicting.

    The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

    Yummmy!!! What a cute and unique dessert boutique! So many choices but what makes this place stand…read moreout are its adorable and colorful mousse delicacies. The inside was packed with folks! There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

    Their pastries are delicious!!!! The service could be better on different days haha. I love…read moreeverything they have. You cannot go wrong with anything at all. Everything is so fresh and just so amazing. I wish they delivered out of state so i could still enjoy their desserts.

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!

    The service was excellent; everyone in there was so friendly! I got to warm up a few of the cookies…read moreI ordered and WOW. They are on the thicker side yet so incredibly soft on the inside and have a perfect crisp on the outer edges, top, and bottom!! Demitri was so kind and accommodated for my complicated and long order! I definitely recommend the Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie, it was so rich in flavor! The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie was not too sweet as the walnuts were the perfect balance! I think this is for people who are not too big on chocolate chips in their cookie. The Coconut Caramel cookie reminded me of a Samoa! You can taste all the coconut in the cookie and it was delicious! The Sticky Bun was so soft as well! 10/10!
