    Pumpkin Spice Cookie
    Zev L.

    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.

    Honey lavender
    Melody C.

    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.

    Decent cookies. I got the caramel cookie and the double chocolate and a brownie. My favorite would be the brownie. Nothing too special but nothing wrong with it

    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. :(

    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!

    My fiancé, my brother, and his girlfriend surprised me on my birthday with a gorgeous cake from Buttermilk Bakeshop! The cake was chocolate with raspberry buttercream and it was so decadent and delicious! I was told the service was friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was wholesome when picking up the cake! They brought the cake as a surprise at my birthday brunch and it was stunning!

    Elmo face cake

    This is the third time I ordered from them. They have many things to be praised for: 1. Great and prompt communication via email. 2. They are open to ideas and they offer suggestions. 3. Prices are reasonable. 4. The cakes turn out beautiful and sooooo yummy!!!!!. 5. The delivery has never been an issue. We celebrated our third pandemic birthday today for my dtr Melanie. We ordered a rainbow explosion cake and we exchanged ideas and it turned out so special. Thank you! Please don't change!!!! H

    vanilla cake with vanilla and strawberry filling
    Jane A.

    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!

    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.

    A Too Good To Go "mini cake" bag.
    Kimberly L.

    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.

    After trying their pumpkin spice cake a few years ago, I had to bookmark this wonderful bakery to make custom cupcakes for my sister's bridal shower! We decided to go with a cactus and succulent theme to match the floral decor at my sister's event. The staff did an amazing job creating the most delicious vanilla cupcakes we ever tasted! They are willing to work with us to make them so beautiful. They were packaged nicely and ready to surprise my sister! Thank you Buttermilk Bakeshop for making these cupcakes a success at my sister's bridal shower! We would definitely come back for more sweets and treats!

    Cute bakery with a bunch of vegan options! I just stopped in for something sweet while walking 5th ave but will definitely come back. I got a chai cookie and it was very good, I just wish it was warm or a bit softer.

    Seen a review on tiktok and drove down to purchase this beauty, service was good cake was so soft the perfect size and i got it soon as i walked it price was reasonable i wish they wrote on the cake but for the price I'm okay with what i got. It's not a big shop so your in and out in minutes i will say the person who helped me was super helpful and friendly i would shop again if i was ever in need of a cake

    What are the best cupcakes to get thanks?

    The red velvet is bomb! But also keep your eye out for seasonal flavors- we had some of them and they were equally delicious!!

    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!

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and noticed the line was surprisingly short, so we decided to…read morehop in. We only waited about 10 minutes before it was our turn to order. While they didn't have their full selection available, there were still plenty of pastries to choose from. We ended up getting the vanilla kouign amann and the chocolate PB&J croissant. The kouign amann was flaky, buttery, and beautifully caramelized. The chocolate PB&J croissant was easily our favorite. It was filled with rich, decadent chocolate and a layer of jelly that balanced everything out without making it overly sweet. My significant other hasn't stopped talking about it since! We're already looking forward to coming back to try more.

    Hot tip: Place an online order for pick up. Less lines, faster service…read more Of course after doing my typical research on Yelp for places to visit while in NY recently, I came across Peter Pan. That quickly went in the list of places I had to go to. I'm so glad I did. I went on a Sunday around 10:30am. There was definitely a crowd but it was minimal and organized chaos in a way. I did get the chocolate cake and original glazed with a sugar rise and a few donut holes. Everything was great. I could taste a little oil from being fried, but that's just my preference. Some people are ok with that. But let's talk about that sugar rise donut! Sugar rise was my favorite! When I bite into any donut covered in granulated sugar it better coat my lips like my chapstick. That sugar just sat on my lips as if it was just meant to be there. The staff were amazing. They were working hard getting orders taken and putting orders out. The interior was quaint and clean. Bottled water for $1 is a major win in my book! So thank you for that. Seating is limited. It's tiny in there. Great spot! Hit them up!

The shop has a retro vibe reminiscent of a 1950s diner, offering a wide range of pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast options, making it a beloved local fixture for over 60 years. During a visit to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I decided to explore the local food scene. As I researched, this donut shop kept coming up as a top favorite among locals. My daughter and I stepped inside, and it was buzzing with activity. The place had a nostalgic feel, and it's a cash-only establishment. There are so many donuts to choose from, but my daughter went with a Red Velvet, while I opted for a Sugar Raise--a classic sugar donut because it was my first time here and I wanted something simple. The donuts were decent. The Sugar Raise wasn't extraordinary, but it was fresh. I gave my daughter's Red Velvet a try, but it didn't quite hit the mark; instead of a subtle cocoa-vanilla flavor, it was pretty heavy on the chocolate. The service was friendly, and I'm glad we took the chance to visit this longstanding bakery, which has been around for more than six decades.
