    Lemon Poppy Seed Cake, Apple Cake Mini Cake, Amy Cake
    Tina L.

    I guess the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I was looking forward to visiting this BTW location. Sadly the Apple Cake was super dry. Lemon Poppy was much better. No espresso drinks, just coffee and cold brew. No seating, but there are a few high tops at the front. I expected more pleasant service.

    I've loved By the Way Bakery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan - I've had multiple cakes and cupcakes, and rated that location 5 stars. I just tried the Greenwich location and hated the blueberry muffin I tried. Small chocolate cake was decent. I will definitely try again, but will stick with the cakes and cupcakes!

    Allow me a moment or two to hardcore gush... Hiya, Covid-impacted, gluten-free bride here! My large-ish wedding was transformed into a small, backyard wedding due to Covid. I wasn't planning on a cake, because I didn't think it would be possible to find a tasty gluten-free cake. Enter Helene and By the Way Bakery! *cue a fairy godmother, magical theme song* Helene swung into action to talk me (and my now husband!) through all the cake options. She answered all of our questions, had a tremendous amount of patience as we went back and forth on details, and was quick to get us all the information we needed. As if a global pandemic wasn't enough to deal with... Enter the big August 2020 storm. Dun, dun, dunnnnn! By the Way Bakery was among the many establishments that lost power and were without for longer than they should have been. Helene called me to explain the situation, apologize for it, and tell me that she was in the process of buying a generator to try to get her locations back on the grid. While we were really looking forward to having a tasty gluten-free cake, it seemed like the cards were not stacked in our favor. But, somehow, HELENE CAME THROUGH! And, let me tell you... it was more amazing than I could have ever expected! I'm still drooling at the thought of the magical slice of heaven that By the Way Bakery created. Lemon poppy cake with raspberry jam and lemon curd filling with a vanilla chiffon frosting. This is was not only the best wedding cake we (and our guests) have ever tasted, but it was also just an ah-mazing cake. Best. Cake. Ever. Hard stop. No caveats. Period. I cannot thank Helene or her staff at By the Way Bakery enough for their commitment to baking incredible products AND ensuring that this Covid-couple got the wedding cake of their dreams!

    We've stopped by this little bakery a few times during our walks at lunch. The staff were always so kind and helpful! Their cakes are delicious! So far, we have tried their sprinkle cake and their chocolate cake and both were so worth the calories!

    I really missed the memo on this one- big time and found out, that By The Way Bakery is gluten-free and dairy-free. I'm neither...by the way. I love my full-fat pastries. There......I said it! I love butter and I love cream. But I came here primarily for Hot Chocolate or a Chai on a rainy day, but didn't get either. And I also didn't want to leave empty-handed. Ashley was very pleasant and explained to me, why By The Way doesn't make them. Ok. I get it now. I suggested that perhaps they could make Hot Chocolate with Coconut or Almond Milk- it'll probably be a long stretch, but who knows? It might taste good. I'm willing to try By The Way if they offered those options. Though I do like both my hot beverages made with regular milk or half and half. But she entertained my thought and went with my flow. Oh---and by the way, there are also locations in Hastings-on-Hudson and NYC. Although I'm not gluten or dairy-free, I'm not totally dismissing By The Way Bakery. I see myself stopping in here to grab a quick and sweet bite.

    Chocolate Raspberry Cake - Gluten Free & Diary Free!

    Amazing cakes. Ordered two cakes a chocolate raspberry and strawberry shortcake for my sister and B-I-L. Both were SO DELICIOUS. Gluten free & dairy free! Never felt better after having cake. No more tummy aches when there's BTW bakery 10/10 recommend. I've also had other cakes from here, they never disappoint!

    My wife and I used to obsessed with the original SoHo location, so when we heard maman was opening…read moreon Greenwich Ave, we were literally some of the first people through the door. The space itself is absolutely stunning and so photogenic. They nailed the rustic, southern French country-style vibe--reclaimed wood, fresh flowers on every single table, and tons of natural light. It truly feels like a warm, cozy "home away from home," which I know is exactly what the founders (a husband-and-wife duo) were aiming for to honor their mothers' kitchens. The food here is consistently great, whether you're sitting down or grabbing take-out. My absolute go-to is the Katie Chicken sandwich. It's herb-roasted chicken, basil aioli, roasted red peppers, arugula, and roasted tomato. You can get it on ciabatta or a baguette, but do yourself a favor and opt for the baguette. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Honestly, any pastry you grab here is going to be amazing. I also love that they offer a few vegan options--the vegan raspberry bar is so good I end up eating one almost every single day. Pair whatever you get with an espresso drink; they serve them in these quintessential blue and white china cups that make you feel like you're sitting in a bistro in the French countryside. A quick tip on parking: There's metered parking on Greenwich Ave (9am-5pm, Mon-Sat) or a public lot right behind the CVS across the street. Definitely download the ParkMobile app and stay on top of your time, because parking enforcement is highly active around here!

    Absolutely love this place!…read more I've been to a lot of their locations and this is one of my favorite ones. This Maman is spacious and has plenty of seating. I love their drinks, snacks and food here. They also have an array of mugs, clothes, bags and coffee for purchase. I need to come back and get more of their merch. It's all so cute. I had an oat milk latte, piña colada overnight oats and a cookie. Everything was delicious. I've come here for breakfast and lunch too. I will definitely stop back in to try more of their food options. I'm so glad this location opened. I can't wait for their next location to open too!

The building has an old school feel.Probably because they've been around. There isn't really parking unless you find curb parking so plan accordingly. Inside the place has a traditional look. However it's covered head to toe with baked goods. They also offer salad, healthy drinks and coffee. At the counter, we were served by a wonderful woman. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive. She made things move smoothly. The owner was funny as well. I asked if everything was baked here daily, and he made a tastefully fun joke. I left the bakery with a black and white cookie, I couldn't believe it. I never tasted a freshly backed black and white. All the ingredients were fresh and it showed, I was completely blown away. Now for my next visit I have to try their bread and fresh salads. I see now in hindsight why u didn't want to go, it's simple, now I will be there everyday and ruin my diet.
