Gotta love a neighborhood bake shop where the staff is cool, the desserts solidly satisfy that craving for something sweet, but not too sweet, cakey, but not, and the interior is clean, cozy and chill. In my case, something sweet, but not cakey was the Nutella pecan pie and a lemon bar. The pie was gooey, nutty, sweet, but not cloyingly so, and buttery. The lemon bar was actually sweeter while being plenty lemony. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Ughh so disappointed. Found this place off of Yelp and walked in to pick up a birthday cake. Went with the raspberry vanilla. It looks great and was excited to try buttermilk from all the great reviews, but was so disappointed when we tasted the cake. Icing was hard and extremely sweet, even the kiddos said it was too sweet. The inside cake was dense. I'm thinking the cake was old and was sitting in the fridge for a while. But for $47.50 I am disappointed. read more

Let me tell you, Buttermilk Bakeshop has been in my rotation for years, and it's only gotten better. From the old tiny window setup to the new roomier location you can actually step into, it finally matches the charm of what they bake. Cases full of sweets, that warm bakery smell, and creations that feel like someone bottled joy and added sugar. note: I am not a pumpkin spice person. That cookie turned me into a believer for at least five minutes, then it vanished because we inhaled it. Staff is consistently sweet and on it. Past wins include cupcakes, tiramisu in a cup, and a parade of cookies that make decision-making a sport. Great for birthdays, thank-yous, or those just-because moments that make a week better. 5/5. Trust me, I'm a pro. read more

Got a lemon lavender cake from here because Google reviewers kept raving about this flavor. The lemon flavor was more obvious than the lavender, but I enjoyed the flavor nevertheless. However, it became overwhelmingly saccharine the more bites I took. I left half of my slice of cake untouched because of that. Also note that the consistency of the cake is extremely moist, so much so that the texture of the cake wasn't soft and fluffy but dense and hefty. Though I do prefer soft and fluffy cakes, the moistness of the cake wasn't really an issue for me. It was interesting. The frosting/icing was pretty solid, so I skipped it. My friends said we're supposed to let the cake come to room temperature for the frosting to soften. This wasn't relayed to me by the staff so I don't know! The worker who I picked the cake up from was pretty friendly. The shop had some premade cakes of different sizes in their display. Their cookies looked very tempting. I was also impressed by the handwriting of the cake and appreciated the cute little flowers drawn on as decoration. read more

My husband and I have been getting birthday cakes from Buttermilk Bakeshop every year for nearly a decade and every year they get better and better. We work with Katy who is always creative, personable, easy to work with, promptly responsive and thoughtful. This year, I asked for a cake that tastes like an almond joy candy bar, and I couldn't believe how well she delivered! She added chocolate chips to their moist, already immaculate coconut cake, and incorporated a layer of coconut cream and a layer of chocolate ganache with toasted crushed almonds. It was insanelyyyyy good and 100% spot on to the flavor profile we were going for. They enrobed the cake in the most beautiful, ornate icing designs and matched our color inspo perfectly. If you are someone who cares about aesthetics AND flavor, you must get your cake from Buttermilk Bakeshop. Her cakes are always delicious, and with very little direction she will easily exceed your expectations. Any time we stray and order a cake elsewhere, we wish we stuck with our tried and true. Also worth mentioning is that whether you choose to pick-up or have your cake delivered, you can rest easy knowing you're going to receive your order at the expected time, no nonsense. Also, if you are gluten free, their GF cake is so good no one will believe it's GF (we have ordered several GF cakes over the years, the cake described here was not GF). Thank you Buttermilk for being an important part of our celebrations. Highly recommend!!! read more

prIcing on the cake. Bought the classic 6-inch birthday cake here, for $50! It was a cute but absolutely one of the most mediocre cakes we've ever had. The cake itself was okay, the icing was way too sweet which is okay too cause kids don't mind, but for the amount of icing they used it was just too much. I asked for my child's name and age to be written on it and to say they phoned it in doesn't do justice to how bad this guys penmanship was, five letters and a number and this guy completely blew it. I've been to places that baffled me with how someone could get such nice script from a tube of icing, but not this place. Buttermilk is WAAAY overpriced for what you get. Go to a grocery store if you want a better cake than Buttermilk offers. read more

I discovered this bakery some years ago and their chocolate chip cookies were incredible. Unfortunately, I returned last week and it did not live up to expectations. I got two and they were just ok, and one barely had any chocolate in it. The vanilla cupcake was not my favorite, I didn't like the cake part. The crème brûlée cookie was not very flavorful. The chocolate cupcake and the salted Nutella cookie were pretty good. Service was friendly. They normally have delicious lemon bars but they were not available at the time. read more

This is the only home made bakery cookie that tastes like a chip's ahoy cookie. You know that weird packaged taste some bake goods have when they're mass produced. Somehow this cookie had that taste even though it came straight from a bakery and chocolate chip cookies are probably my favorite cookie and it didn't taste as good as it looked. :( read more

My daughter recently had her 9th birthday party at Buttermilk Bakeshop! Let me tell you, my daughter said it was the "best birthday ever". The baking class party was a really great fit and choice for her cohort of friends due to the age (from 7 to 11 y/o) level, attention span and skill set. Katy worked with me seamlessly from the start with answering all my emails in a timely fashion! I wanted to bring my own decor to match my daughter's requested theme as well as bring a playlist. The baking class will already come with a happy birthday sign but we just had to have a backdrop! We chose the "mini cakes" baking class as well as the apron decorating add-on which all her guests kept as souvenirs. The kids started out by washing their hands then working on the apron design. They all took a cute picture with their aprons on. Then they got to prepare and cut their mini cakes to frost and decorate! (The funnest part!) Katy also gave the kids mini lessons on what happens in the bakery from making buttermilk, cake cutting, coloring frosting etc!! The kids were all so in tune and paying attention! A bonus - my daughter got to choose her actual birthday cake which was included in the package. She chose the Cookies and Milk cake. The cake was devoured within 10 minutes! I would recommend getting extra! That's how delicious it was. While eating pizza, the kids were all dancing and running round (a bit too much, yikes) and having a good time. The kids as well as the parents who stayed were all complimenting on how what a wonderful party my daughter had! 10/10. And she wants to do it again! read more

Stumbled upon this small bakeshop while waiting for a reservation in the neighborhood. I've heard good things about this bakeshop, and have always wanted to try it. They have a variety of baked goods, from cookies, cupcakes, cakes, and mini cakes, all of which were beautifully decorated. My girlfriends and I were having a galentine's night, so we were drawn to this really cute simple white cake with a floral heart on top. The cake was so delicious. We loved it so much. It was a 6 inch vanilla cake. The cake was moist, it just melts in your mouth. The filling was vanilla with a hint of strawberry. It was a perfect amount sweet and not too sweet. I wanted to eat the whole thing haha. Can't wait to go back and try their other goodies! read more

My husband a Lemon Tiramisu cake for my birthday. Can I just say I had the worst birthday cake ever. What a great start... Anyways, so I called the cakeshop directly and it was an employee. She went by telling me "thank you for the feedback" "have you ordered from us before" and "send an email directly" Husband send a review and it's been days with no response. I wanted this place a change before I made a review but here we are.... The cake was dry and the frosting was so disgustingly sweet. We have this cake in our fridge barely eaten... Kids didn't like it either -- that should tell you and husband who has a sweet tooth didn't even touch it again Waste of money. Do not recommend read more

I popped in here as I was in the area, and was intrigued by the pastries and baked goods. It's a rather large space, with a few benches in the front to sit at. They have cakes, cupcakes and other baked goods to choose from. I got a vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting and I'm not sure if it was because it was the end of the day, but the cupcake was pretty dried out and the frosting was way too sweet for my liking. The service was good though, and perhaps I'll come back. read more

Went to buy some cupcakes and a chocolate birthday cake for my husband. They look so pretty in the store but when I took them out of the box I was surprised by how hard the frosting was. I assumed it was the because the display was probably refrigerated and they would defrost and soften up. Nope. Frosting was so hard when I cut it into slices, the frosting literally fell off the cake in a slab on the plate 2 hrs later...!. I'm not sure how old these cakes are, they taste ok, but it was pretty unfortunate and embarrassing to serve this! read more

This is regarding their 3rd Ave & 13th St location. I understand Too Good To Go is an app that is supposed to minimize waste, but I dropped $15 (for a $45 value) for a "mini cake" that was made from scraps. This was an attempt to profit off of leftover ingredients & lazy creativity. I wouldn't pay $15 regular price for this. I'm sorely disappointed in this business. I wish I opened this box before I left the area, because I easily would have paid the same amount for an actually presentable mini cake from Ladybird Bakery, just a 20min walk nearby. And the embarrassment of wanting to bring this as a supplement for a bridesmaids morning on a wedding day! You can say that's why I'm extra upset about this. Small businesses work hard, but this scam was sleazy. I'm sorry, but give your hard-earned money to an honest business. P.S. You know what makes this worse? The cake isn't frosted. So it'll dry out faster, if it isn't already. Jfc. read more

Definitely get the Ultimate Birthday Cake, it isn't as sweet as their butter cream frosted cakes because of the meringue buttercream! The team is lovely and will work with you if you have food allergies. They can't guarantee but they do try to limit cross contamination and if you put in a custom order, they will absolutely keep the allergy causing items away from the workspace and equipment. My whole family inhaled the cake and there wasn't anything leftover. The chocolate mouse was the perfect texture for the cake. The funfetti cake was festive! The meringue buttercream was divine! This will be my family's go to cake! read more

I reviewed this place back in 2015 so it was long due to refresh my review. This is our go to bakery in Park Slope. They did a phenomenal job on my sisters baby shower cake back in the day and have only been providing more and more lovely cakes over the years. They're always easy and reliable to work with. I was diagnosed with celiac awhile back, and Buttermilk Bakeshop luckily has gluten free cakes and cookies so they didn't even miss a beat as my entire life changed we just had a super decadent chocolate gluten free cake tonight. It was perfect as always. If you have celiac or need gluten free this is a great place, or if you have a hankering for a gluten bomb that can do that too. Make sure you swing by to satisfy that sweet tooth. read more

We ordered a red velvet cake for my husband's and my birthday to take to a party. The cake was the most delicious cake I've ever eaten. And all of our guests loved it as well.

Thank you for making our birthday extra special! read more

They have an amazing vegan & gluten-free chocolate chunk cookie! I used to walk past here and not really think about checking them out because I assumed that there was nothing vegan or gluten-free. It looked like a nice bakery filled with regular cookies, cakes, and cupcakes, but I didn't think they had anything for me. Then one day this past spring, I happened to pause at their display case against the window and saw they had not one, but two vegan and gluten-free items! I've been getting the vegan & gluten-free chocolate chunk cookie frequently since then. It's one of the better vegan chocolate chunk/chip cookies I've had (because many others are not great). And one day, one of the ladies working there asked me if I could taste the banana in the cookie ... I didn't even think there was banana in it! So then I even had my (non-vegan) roommate taste the cookie, and even though she HATES banana, she said she wouldn't have known there was banana in it if I hadn't told her and really liked it! There's also a peanut butter bar that's vegan and gluten-free ... kind of like a rice krispie treat but with less rice krispies and more of the stuff holding it together, and a super thick layer of chocolate on top. It's delicious (especially if you like peanut butter, like me), but it's quite heavy. I can't eat more than a couple of bites before I have to stop, which I guess is good to have as a treat to last over a few days. The ladies working there are pretty nice, too! And I brought a friend who got a non-vegan cookie and she said that was also really good. I imagine just about everything here is enjoyable. They're all very pretty at the very least. My schedule is wonky now, such that I can't go by there nearly as often as I did earlier in the year, so now I'm constantly craving one of those cookies! read more

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Buttermilk Bakeshop. From the beginning of the planning process to the results, they were so helpful, responsive, kind and in the end of course, super talented! We needed a cake for 50 people for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and she had VERY specific ideas about what it should look like. They were so helpful and patient and spent so much time getting all the details exactly the way we wanted. The process was easy and we always felt we were in great hands. Also we realized very late that we needed a dozen specially designed cookies prepared and individually wrapped - and it was only a WEEK before our party -- and they said SURE! And they could have charged us extra for the last minute addition but they didn't. And then both the cookies and the cake for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah were gorgeous and SO absolutely delicious!! Better than we could have even expected!! We were so pleased and just can't sing their praises enough!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Holy cow, their Choco Tacos are incredible! I stopped by with my fiancé to grab one to go, and we spent the next 7 blocks passing it back and forth talking about how amazing it was. Topics of discussion included: - The chocolate crumble topping. No clue what's in it, but it was the star of the show. - How oddly fun it was to eat. (Imagine an ice cream cone that doesn't drip or fall apart.) - How it's the world's best dessert to share: a satisfying crunch with plenty for two. Thank you Buttermilk, we'll be back! read more

The entire experience was laughable. - I ordered my cake two weeks in advance ($42 for white birthday cake with $15 delivery), paid upfront - On day of delivery, cake never arrived, with no contact from shop regarding the status - I reached out to phone (straight to VM) then by email to ask where my cake was - I started to walk to the shop as they are.closing in 30 mins, and finally got an email response they had 'driver issues' - The delivery arrived over 1 later...and the cake was a Halloween/fall/candy corn theme - Cake seemed dry (can't tell if this was it being an older cake or just the way the cakes are) and way too sweet I contacted the shop with my displeasure and a request for at least a refund of my delivery charge. While they apologized and agreed to 'email' a check (it actually meant in the mail), of course - I never received anything. I'm not going to chase them around for $15, I'll just avoid the shop in the future and suggest you do the same. read more

I had really high hopes for this spot after all of reviews I read. Had a late night sweet craving and ordered 3 cupcakes and a "Brookie" through Uber eats. Overall everything was just ok. The cupcakes were smaller than most bakeries, and were slightly dry as well. Think of the grocery store cupcakes in the bakery section in the 12-pack plastic containers. That's what these were like. Nothing special at all, but you still eat them. If I were to rank the three accessible bake shops in order, buttermilk bake shop would rank third after Mia's and Martha's Bakery. Won't be ordering from here again, knowing the above two are better and just as accessible. read more

Stopped by after dinner with a sweet tooth. Awesome sale in the summer - from 6-8pm the cookies and bars are buy one get one free!

I do not regret trying this place but will try somewhere else next time! read more

First time trying Buttermilk Bakeshop. Delivery was super quick through grubhub. I wish they would be packaged in individual slots because they move around in the box.
