Came here to grab some of their famous 7 layer rainbow cookies for work and they were a hit! Loved the heavy almond flavor and slight sweetness of the jam. After trying these there's no way I can go back to the regular 3 layer ones anymore lol. There are a ton of outstanding Italian bakeries in Bensonhurst and this one is kind of out of the way but definitely worth a stop for the rainbow cookies. Service was very fast and friendly. ~$20 for a pound of rainbow cookies. Cash only. read more

I would give negative stars if I could! So disappointed in what use to be a neighborhood staple. I went in a bought 3 different items at a total cost of $25. What a waste of money. I got 2 mini cannolis, half a pound of bread sticks, and one pound of Italian cookies. Everything was stale. The cannoli shell was soft and gross, the cookies were legitimately disgusting and the bread sticks were so stale I took one bite and wanted to throw up. I wouldn't go back even if they offered me free pastry's. What a shame read more

Love this place and have loved this place for decades. You have to try their donuts especially their Boston cream. This is a full line Italian American bakery in south Brooklyn that's known for everything. I was raised on these donuts. No pun intended. On my last visit I wanted to take a picture of the donuts but unfortunately I inhaled both immediately. The bakery itself is clean and the girls who work here are nice and always willing to help. The coffee is good too! Cash only! read more

I'm not going to waste your time here: Cuccio's has the best rainbow cookies I've ever had. You may know them as tricolore (which would be incorrect because there are at least five colors on these things - maybe that's the secret). You may be skeptical. You may not even like Italian cookies; I don't, usually. But these are the truth. My neighbor knows a thing or two about a thing or two, and he brought these over to my place once...now every time I head down the Belt Parkway, I'm either getting these cookies, or thinking about getting these cookies. You should too. The sfogliatella are also awesome. read more

This bakery is a neighborhood staple. I have been coming here for at least 40 years. It has changed over the years but the bread and the donuts are still the same. The twist seeded bread is delicious and the donuts by far have been the best I have tasted. The only thing negative is that it is cash only! You can imagine how much I would have brought it they accepted credit. But don't let that stop you from going. Just make sure you have plenty of cash because you are going to want to get everything! read more

I think I just found the best Italian bakery in New York City, and it is in the backyard of where I spent a good portion of my childhood. Hard to believe, I know. But here it is. Only a five minute walk from the Avenue X subway stop on the F train, Cuccio's might just be, "The One". All the bakery items have that deep, delicious taste, and a size of all their pastry items for all appetites, whether you like things small or large, decadent or rich, they have it. It will be hard to order just one item here. The rainbow cookies? Yep, they sell them, and they are terrific. The lobster tail? With French cream? You bet. Fruit tart? That is a bit dense, but the fruit is so fresh and beautifully layered, that they make the whole thing a mouthwatering experience. Even their black and white cookie is delicious. How about a jelly donut bursting with jelly? There are not many bakeries that do not anymore, but this one does! The girls who service you are cute and smart. They are patient and have that Brooklyn decisiveness they would make any future mother in-law squirm. Telling, huh? As for payment, cash only. Again, cash only. You have been warned... twice. I think it will be hard to top this one. I hope you will agree if you stop by. read more

Local mom and pop bakery in the forgotten part of Brooklyn, Cuccio's a no frills sweet shop that have everything for everyone. Place has been around since 1937 and it kinda shows, but that's the charm. You know what else is charming? The crazy 7-layer rainbow cookie! They're pretty good and so beautiful! Serious question though: at what point do you stop calling them a cookie and say they're cake?? They're essentially a cake that have been cut up into bits so you can hold between your fingers but hey, if they've always been called a cookie then carry on and shove em down my greedy mouth! Whenever I stop by an Italian bakery, I would always get two important items: the colorful morsels (rainbow cookie/cake) and the pignoli cookies (hello pine nut heaven). I walked away with those two bad boys as well as a few other things for the family and the price is just right. If I didn't live so far away I would surely be handing fistful of cash every weekend for their decadent desserts! read more

I come to this bakery often as it is a block away from my house. It's honestly a hit or miss. It use to be your friendly neighborhood bakery, but now it feel a little impersonal. I mostly come for the bread that is very fresh but tends to sell out quickly. I dont feel like they make enough during the day. The service is ok Nothing to rave about. I dont think they are nice or rude. Just kind of do their job and take the next customer. They have been open throughout the pandemic and I give them a lot of credit for that. And they are trying their best to enforce social distancing and masks. read more

Picked up a couple of cakes last night for my motherS birthday today. Opened up the box today to celebrate and saw mold on one of the strawberries. We have been Cuccios customers since 2000 and unfortunately this isn't the first time something like this has happened. If John is still the owner he needs to make sure his employees have better quality control over the cakes. When I worked here in the early 2000's we had similar problems due to negligence on our part but I would assume that this would have been corrected long ago. Definitely an unhappy experience. Also, the cakes were kept in the fridge overnight. The second cake was fine, however this one is all sorts of struggling. read more

I bought 3 types of pastries from this bakery: eclairs, lobster's tail and crullers. Only the lobster's tails were delicious and fresh. Crullers were dry and tasteless. The eclairs were stale, so much so that they had a strong aftertaste and refrigerator smell. The owners of this bakery do not value their reputation or believe that customers are complete idiots who do not understand quality food. And also a negative point is cash only. The workers are very polite, there are no complaints about them. read more

If you live in the Gravesend area, avoid Cuccios bakery at all cost!!! Back in the day when the previous owners were alive, they were mean and cruel and never kind to customers. It's a miracle they survived. Today they are no longer there but the quality of baked goods is horrible. Everything is overly sweet and stale. Yesterday I bought a poundcake, some turnovers and crumb cake to a friends house and attempted to have dessert. Everything was hard I had to throw it away. But not before being so embarrassed.

Ughh so disappointed. Found this place off of Yelp and…read morewalked 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.

Whenever I visit New York, I have to save room for Martha's! The restaurant is surprisingly…read morespacious--especially for a NYC café, and the music is always on point. Service is fast; they take your drink order almost as soon as you sit down. I love taking a moment to browse all the desserts in the display case because there are so many options, and I appreciate the variety every time. This visit, I tried the Bread pudding, Carrot cake, and Berry Napoleon. The bread pudding was my favorite--they don't skimp on the serving, it heats up well, and it's perfect to take on the go without worrying about the texture later. The Napoleon was also great; the cream was delicious and not overly sweet. While I'm usually a big carrot cake fan, this one leaned towards being too sweet for me. The cake itself was good, but the icing was a bit too much -- I had to toss the icing. I highly recommend trying Martha's if you're ever in the area!
