It's a fantastic bakery. The staff is lovely, the ambiance great and the bakery serves fantastic home baked food. Don't miss out on this experince. read more

Overall, I'm glad we went out of our way to come here. The vibe of the cashier was a bit unwelcoming and in a rush to get us out, I hate to say it but I won't knock a star off for it. We bought 4 vegan cookies for $16, $4 a piece. The prices are still on the lower side in comparison to Manhattan vegan bakery prices --but still steep to be served in a rush, especially when no one else was in there. I said no to the cold brew for 4.50, which actually is lower in comparison to 2026 cold brew prices (upwards of $6-7 these days). My hope is that the owner will see this review and ensure their staff is morekind and welcoming going forward. There are plenty of other non vegan food options and pantry items for sale and plenty of space in the bakery to relax and enjoy yourself. The location is perfect, as I was able to leave the bakery with my treats and enjoy them in the park right away! read more

I live in the area and have walked by Cinnamon Girl multiple times without stopping in, usually due to the long lines. Fortunately, after my weekly community walk, there was a lull in the queue, so I hopped right in. I had talked to neighbors about their favourite bagel places, and while Flatbush Bagels is acceptable, I was craving a higher quality salmon lox everything bagel. My friend said that her go to was Cinnamon Girl, so I was excited to try it out. This place has an impressive range of fare -- lots of baked goods and artisanal grocery items. They had two people working, and the tiny "kitchen" was impressive for the things they could dish out. It was a quick 10 minutes for my toasted bagel to come through, and it was still warm when I got home. Here are some of my notes: -Everything Bagel was perfect in terms of texture -- the outside was crisp, and the bottom had a satisfying crunch, while the inside remained fluffy and bready, which is my desirable point. -The balance of ingredients was impressive, particularly the cream-cheese and salmon lox. You know this was the case because one bite didn't make everything protrude and slide out the back. -The salmon lox tasted fresh and was well balanced with the other fresh ingredients that you would expect (tomatoe, capers) except... -They used pickled red onions instead of freshly sliced. I'm not sure how I felt about this because, while it was novel and interesting to have the sour cut through the cream cheese, I thought it overpowered the rest of the sandwich. All in all, it was a solid salmon lox bagel, and given that it was at least 3$ cheaper than the nearest bagel joint, I would do it all over again. The other food looked surprisingly affordable too, so I'll definitely be coming back for a cinnamon bun, cupcake, and empanada. What *can't* cinnamon girl do?? read more

Vegans beware! You will want to buy all the desserts and go into a sugar coma!! OK, ok, not everything is vegan, but there are so many damn good vegan options- all the way from the freshly baked twinkies, cinnamon rolls, cakes, and peanut butter chocolate bars, down to that freezer case in the middle of the market area with not one, but two vegan ice cream cookie options. Thank goodness this isn't around the corner from me so it can be a once in a while treat instead of a far too often indulgence. read more

Overall rating: 4.2 I was going to feel bad for leaving a low review, but after reading the others - seems like it's a common theme. Funny enough, I came here just to waste time. The nail salon next by told me to wait 20 minutes. The line was 20 min plus, with one person manning the cashier. After getting through the line, the items I wanted along with the backups were sold out. I don't understand why they don't mark it off on their board especially after how long it takes. She said you can tell by looking at the glass section, but there are no signs anywhere. She said she had a beans pocket left & since I waited so long, I got it. It was not good. I'm surprised because the items on the menu are very flavorful. So disappointed! And a waste. Please consider a sign of what you're sold out in or clearer labels on what's available. read more

This is a cute spot to get some pastries (and idk why but also household items) after a run in Prospect Park or just hanging with your friends in PLG. Loves: + The cinnamon roll (I mean how do you not get this!) + Treats galore including: croissants, patties, quiche, bagels, and more Other things to consider: - There are a few tables for outdoor seating and two indoor high tops (but no chairs). - The line felt long at 11am but moved decently unless you're ordering coffee. Overall this is a nice little spot in the area! read more

Cinnamon Girl - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good pastries, food and amazing coffee but owners make this place seem racist and unbearable. I've lived in this area for years and have stopped in here many times, when the owners aren't in the place is cool and chill, sometimes lines are long but steady pace. While the employees aren't the most friendly they are direct and provide solid customer service in my experience. My issues have always been with the female owner who comes off as nasty, rude and quite frankly unhappy to be there. I try to avoid interactions with her. This is honestly one of the best places for coffee in the neighborhood aside from Loud Baby, but the service can definitely use some help. read more

Wish I could leave a better review, but unfortunately the service has been very rude by the Rasta who works there. It's so unnecessary...

Lots of goodies. We had bagels (one with cream cheese and another with peanut butter). The espresso drinks we had were perfect. Excellent vegan offerings. I highly recommend it. read more

Cinnamon Girl - Skinny cake slices -esp chocolate on the right..is this normal for $6.50?? - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cinnamon Girl is such a wonderful neighborhood secret. I'm really glad they don't do social media, or any kind of major marketing, because that keeps it a place which only locals know. And, it is such a special place. The baked goods (quiche, hand pies, empanadas) are all hand made by the owner, and that means they have that extra good, homey taste to them. The quiche in particular is stand out, and I pre-ordered several big quiches for my baby shower, and I'm happy I did. I haven't even tried the slices of cake yet. read more

I enjoyed a really yummy latte and friendly service at cinnamon girl! I would recommend this spot for buying a unique gift for a friend like skincare and artisan chocolate or picking up an extra ingredient if you're someone who knows their way around the kitchen! The store was fun to stroll around. I would recommend this spot. read more

Service is rude. Idk if it's a racism issue or what. My first experience there a while back was rude service. I noted it and didn't return until recently when I thought I'd give them another try. Rude service again. The manager was more rude than the person at the front. Person at the front was at least semi-engaged and present. The vibe from both employees was 0 eye contact, felt disingenuous, dismissive, and condescending. Idk what they got going on in there but I won't be returning. read more

They seemed to be annoyed that I was there. I did not feel welcome and I will not be back. read more

Cinnamon Girl - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm absolutely in love with this little shop. They have the best variety of items! I was so happy to find out that Cinnamon Girl also sells local provisions. They have a small but fantastic selection of fresh produce, dry products, sauces, wine, beer, and more. ALL of their baked goods are made in NY by the CG company. I am not a vegan but I'm always looking for spots to bring friends who are. Although I did not try their vegan options, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options there were. I'll definitely bring friends back to test/I'll try myself next time. I had a spinach feta quiche that was heated up and ate every bit of it. Absolutely delicious. I was so surprised. I wish I knew this location was here sooner!! read more

This local coffee shop is amazing! I saw it and knew I had to try it. They make their pastries in-house, the selection is so good and they have vegan options as well. The coffee is great! The owners were personable and made great suggestions based on what I mentioned I like. Definitely a must visit when in the LFG area. read more

I went in this morning to buy a couple of pastries and had such a disappointing experience. I was at the cash register speaking to the cashier when she suddenly walked off and started bagging the apples someone placed on the scale and then came back and told me she was going to ring them up first. I found this to be kind of rude and just overall terrible customer service. Maybe because I asked her a question about their pastry options she didn't realize I was ready to order but I was in the process of trying to tell her what I wanted when she walked off. I was so turned off by this behavior I just left and went somewhere else. read more

I love their Jamaican beef patties! They could use more items of this quality. The grocery piece is ok, not great. I definitely will be back. read more

Cinnamon Girl is pretty solid! They are a great neighborhood spot and their coffee is pretty good. I like their house blends as well as their speciality blends. Their pastries can be a hit or miss but overall they're usually good and there's quite a few options that rotate everyday. The service is always super quick and the staff is really nice. This place is grab and go- it's not sit down or anything although there's two tables outside. Also I wouldn't say Cinnamon Girl is super affordable, but the coffee is worth it. read more

I don't do many reviews. I walked over because I love my iced Cortado but it was disappointing ordering one of the patties that isn't cheap and upon opening it...being met with a long reddish strand of hair. I hope if I returned, it would be replaced but who knows and that's more work for the customer. read more

Cinnamon Girl - Long peice of foreign hair and pattie all wrapped together. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped in on a whim when I saw it was open during COVID-19. Upon walking in, I noticed all of the pastries and cakes were vegan. It was too late for my pride to walk out. I decided to give it a go anyway, ordering a "Monster Cookie" and a slice of key lime cheesecake for, what else, to go. The cookie was oat-based and therefore pretty crumbly. Not exactly Nature Valley granola bar crumbly but not chewy. Dipping it in milk improved the situation greatly, but it's not a cookie I'll be craving or even really thinking about after writing this review. The key lime cheesecake was surprisingly tart and creamy. I didn't think a vegan cheesecake could achieve that level of creaminess, but I'm happy to be wrong in this case. The flavor was mostly great, but I think it took on a bit of the flavor of the paper to-go box it was in, which was unfortunate... and weird. Minus the box flavor, I would actually eat the cheesecake again. The crust was buttery, filling was smooth, and the lime flavor was pronounced. It was also perfectly baked. Lastly, the cashier was super friendly and polite, which is always nice. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit, but I think it's an okay choice for impromptu dessert. read more

Great drink options using counter culture coffee. Went later in the day so many of the baked goods had been sold, but still walked away with a yummy cookie and brownie. (there's no outdoor seating at the time) read more

Cinnamon Girl - Peanut butter M&m cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've had a couple pastries from this place - and they were all really good. The fish patty I got was rich and flavorful, and they have some incredible gluten free cookies. The standout to me is the vegan, GF muffins, so carroty and delicious, the perfect breakfast snack. There's also some quirky items in the store itself, including weird licorice (which some of my friends love) and fun candies. read more

I've only had their coffee and cookies, which are both absolutely delicious! However, I do think they're a little overpriced. Every time I'd gone it's usually one person taking and making orders, so it's a long wait if you're unlucky enough to walk in when it's busy. It's small so more an order and go spot, not an environment to linger. read more

Almost 17 dollars for a cupcake , a slice of cake and an empanada . You will still be asked for a tip at the end of the transaction as well so the charge can grow if you're generous . I wasn't given an itemized receipt or any receipt for that matter so I don't even know if I was overcharged . I left the store with a fish empanada , red velvet cupcake and black out sliced cake. The fish empanada was extra disappointing after being hyped as the best empanada by the young guy working the counter . The taste just wasn't good at all . The fish taste wasn't very detectable underneath all the green colored seasonings. I threw it away after a couple bites unfortunately. The sliced black out cake was really good . Perfectly moist , sufficiently sweet and just indulgent . Not the best chocolate cake I've had but it's up there . The vegan cupcake was given to a family member who didn't complain about it so that's a good sign . Speaking of signs , this store can benefit from better signs. The signs they use are barely readable. When I couldn't make out the signs, the young guy behind the counter jumped in to explain some of the goodies . Despite his obvious vast knowledge of the products , he spoke way too quickly when identifying and explaining the products . He could have been a tad bit friendlier in my opinion instead of so robotic and uppity . The lay out of the baked goods can be better as well . They aren't showcased in a way that is inviting . In any event , I'll give it a chance down the road and try more goodies and form a firmer opinion on this place . read more

I hate to do this, but I had a miserable experience with Cinnamon Girl. I was served a patty that was burnt to the point that it was inedible. When I brought it up with the owner, he refused to do anything about it, was quite condescending, and claimed, "This is acceptable." I was ripped off by the local baker. He rode off into the sunset with my hard-earned money. Pretty rough. read more

Cinnamon Girl - a burnt piece of bread on a plate with a knife - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Letting the young man behind the counter know it was my first time there he went over their selection. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the pastries. Made me want to try everything. I stopped myself at two items. Cupcake and cheese cake were both very sugary. I have a strong sweet tooth so I can handle it but if you prefer a more subtle dessert pick another option. I almost didn't come because of the star rating. Happy I took a chance. I live close. See myself coming back here to try more of the variety. read more

I don't get over here much but when I do, yum: their cakes!!!! Amazing!!!! Recently loved the pineapple coconut cake. They often have a good selection of pastries as well. read more

Has anything changed? No. The cake is still great. The service is still obnoxious. I can handle rude, I live in Flatbush after all. I cannot handle obnoxious eye rolling when I ask about the ingredients because you forgot to put your sign out. If I ask you if it has meat and you can't answer that basic question, don't roll your eyes at me and huff when I don't buy anything. Either way, same old. Nothing has changed. I might try again in a year. read more

If I could rate this establishment " 0 " I would! I walked in to this establishment wanting to support what seemed to be a cool local Brooklyn spot. Much to my dismay, the shop employees were mistreating a customer who seemed to be less affluent. This customer was a black man. He was accompanied by a white woman who purchased a bagel and lox meal for him. As this man was awaiting his meal, he asked questions about the price of the bagel and asked for a receipt. Instead of answering him and providing him a receipt, which is the right of any customer, they asked him to wait outside of the establishment for his order. Others who were awaiting their orders were not asked to wait outside. When the black male customer refused to wait for his order outside, one of the shop staff, a white woman called 911 stating that a man was refusing to leave and being disruptive. L.I.E.! I left in DISGUST. Beware of places like these that are racially bias! read more

Passed by here on the way to brunch nearby and "Vegan muffin" caught my eye. So of course after some eats and three mimosas in, I waltzed right back over. To my pleasant surprise, this sweet shop was loaded with all kinds of vegan treats--cookies, muffins, cake! I don't often stumble on vegan cake, so I had to try some. Got a slice of the pina colada and it was phenom. Wasn't as moist and light as I thought it'd be, but it was still pretty great. I had a bite that night and then the rest with tea the next morning and delish! Also got a peanut butter cookie and it was just OK. A little too dense for my liking, but I guess that's the sacrifice when you cut out all of the non-vegan goods that make it buttery and crispy. Even still, I'm certain I'll be stopping back in for a slice of cake when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Cinnamon is my favorite spice, and I'm always on the lookout for standout vegan options so I was excited to check out Cinnamon Girl. The results were mixed. There are some good plant based options but the customer experience left a lot to be desired. We loved the raspberry almond coconut cake! It was moist and flavorful giving you fruity raspberry purée and a nice coconut texture. My wife tried the Cranberry Oatmeal cookie which she enjoyed. We got the Monster Cookie for my daughter (not vegan) which was smashed with the quickness. But a couple things left something to be desired. Their hours weren't posted on Yelp when we checked (closes at 9:30pm). There were tables but no chairs in the cafe/bakery. And the person who served us for our ice cream order wrong twice. They advertise VanLeeuwen Vegan Ice Cream (cookie crumbles and strawberry jam)- which I love. She first gave us cookies and cream- then we didn't see until after we got home- the dairy honey ice cream instead of the non-dairy cookie crumble. Pretty big mistake - especially after being corrected. Hopefully, if they improve on the hospitality (server was not really responsive to attempts to get more details or engage us) and preserving accuracy, my rating will increase. read more

Decent pastries. Absolutely horrible service. Like many of you here, I gave them at least 3 chances. Everytime I come in to buy something, I left angry. People who works there hates their job. So please just quit if you hate it so much. Ugh. read more

Cinnamon Girl has been my fiancé and I's favorite long standing coffee shop in PLG for years now. The coffee is excellent and the pastries are great as well (personal favorites being the breakfast empanada & the maple cinnamon roll). For those of us who are vegan, gluten free and or dairy free there are lots of dessert and pastry options with a full case of cakes and other desserts daily. Apart from the food offerings there is also a small offering of groceries as well as beers available from local indie breweries. In a pinch it's a fine place to stop in for milk or fruits & veg. We have never had any issues with the staff and come in quite often! They are always pleasant, friendly and take the time to get your order right :) Thank you Cinnamon Girl folks for all you do in providing great service (and coffee) to the community! read more

these guys are fantastic! asked if they could custom make a non-vegan strawberry shortcake for my girlfriend's birthday and not only did they oblige but they knocked that cake outta the park. one of the best cakes I've ever eaten hands down. they got good ice coffee too. highly recommend! read more

Man, these girls know how to bake! The cakes, cupcakes, and breads are to die for. Collectively, my roommate and I have tried at least 4 different types of cake and a variety of their breakfast breads. Everything is insanely good and you'd never guess that most of it is vegan. A few days ago I tried a slice of their cookies 'n cream cake, and OMG. Heaven. Complete and utter heaven. If you're an Oreo lover like me, then you'll love this cake. The frosting tastes just like the white Oreo filling and there are 3 layers of it. I also had no idea that Oreo's were vegan...the more you know! As for the customer service, they certainly don't go out of their way with the friendlies, but I wasn't bothered by it. The treats more than make up for it. read more
