This place is a big deal. One of the last standing real Italian bakery(now also pizzeria) in Sunset Park.Lovely people and very attentive behind the counter. You feel(and hear)the Italian spirit in the air. Amazing bread,delicious pastry and also just since a few months fantastic pizza.Fantastic Arancini,like you can see in the pic. I recommend a grandma slice,thin and light as paper. The sauce is so good and not full of sugar like many other places do. Also,you should try the hero sandwiches..oh my!!!!!!!!!! What are you waiting for?!?!?? read more

I am not a "foodie" or a "pizzaphile" but this was one of the worst slices I've eaten anywhere-minimal cheese and a distasteful sauce-made me yearn for a $1.50 pizza stand-in addition they charge a $1"transaction" fee in addition to the 3.9% extra for using a credit card read more

Finally! Pizza made by Italians! This is one of the last real-deals in town. Great slices! read more

I visit this bakery and pizzeria every time I visit NYC. The food is delicious and the staff are SO nice. Seriously, the atmosphere is classic Italian with all the warmth of a family-run business. I don't know if it is or not, but that's how it strikes me. Every staff member in the bakery greets me and wishes me well when I leave and thanks me. I feel so great supporting this business and even better about stuffing my face with their delicious pizza and baked goods. The fresh mozzarella is my favorite slice, but it's all delicious, and anything you order is a good choice. I'll be back very soon...tomorrow probably. read more

I stopped in for a couple of slices and got a Sicilian and grandma. I'm usually not a fan of Sicilian slices, but this was actually excellent. The grandma slice also hit the spot. The price of each slice was $3, which also isn't bad compared to other places. They've also got a nice selection of baked goods that I'll have to try one day. read more

The pizza is excellent and came on time. The delivery driver was kind as well! I look forward to ordering again.

Well established Family owned bakery in Sunset Park Brooklyn. The area may change but this doesn't, it is truly an old fashioned wonderful bakery. She (the owner) is just a darling. Soooo friendly and helpful. I had a sesame bagel with butter, and it was perfect! Recommend highly! read more

Stick to baked goods stay away from Pizza! Horrible couldn't get through the dough the sauce was highly acidic. Better off going to PaPa Johns next door. Pastries are decent nothing that memorable or that I need to go back to try again. read more

This bakery have a 4 star review... so I decided to order a cake online and get it delivered for Father's Day. And it was just a plain cake no "happy Father's Day" writing on it. It's kinda disappointing that I paid so much for the cake and the taste is weird. We got strawberry shortcake and pineapple but it's like jam in between the cake. Maybe I don't understand the concept of the cake but I don't like it. It's not bad just not a typical cake you would get. read more

Stopped by with my friend because she wanted to pick up some Italian bread. The staff greeted us and was patient while we looked around. Their displays were lined with so many yummy looking desserts I had to try one. I got a cream puff and it was decently sized. The pastry was really good! The puff was soft and the cream tasted like ice cream!! I can't say how the other items were, but I'd definitely be back to try them! read more

I love Generoso's awhen i left Queens It took me a while to find an authentic Italian bakery in Brooklyn. And if you are like me, there is no need to look any further. They have great butter cookies, rainbow cookies and linzer tarts. Besides the great pastries they have some great cheesecakes. If you're in the neighborhood and are feeling like having a sandwich, they have a great Italian sandwich that will keep you coming back all the time. And the owner and his wife are total sweethearts, they are always friendly and always happy to help with a smile. Please dont forget to adhere to proper social distancing protocols! read more

Staff was very nice. I got a rainbow cookies - was okay. Wasn't coming back for a second bite. Wasn't terrible. The walnut brownie- terrible- tasted like oatmeal Chocolate moose cake- Very good! Had mini chocolate chips in side - Mexican Bakery- had a lot of sweet breads. If you go by grab the chocolate moose cake. read more

Heard great things about this bakery but was suddenly disappointed.Theres not enough variety to pick from .Cannolis were good though.Ordered 10$ of cookies. Got like 5$ worth in my opinion.Just go to Staten Island's italian bakeries you'll get more high quality ingredients for your money and a little more on your pastry box.Got charged for Using Card. I'd only come here for cannolis. read more

Came here after reading a few Yelp reviews. Place is old and dimmly lit. Display showed a vast array of Italian cookies, breads, but not a lot of selections on pastries. Got their Chocolate chip canolli, and their huge Almond Mazapan Cookie. The Almond cookie tasted really good because of the size it took me two days to completely finish the cookie. Price is average around Brooklyn. Might come back for the cookie but nothing else from this place stands out. read more

This is my new neighborhood bakery. I've been looking for one ever since I moved 8 blocks more into Sunset Park, and I've been craving that almond oil flavour. I have a sweet tooth for Linzer Tarts, Rainbow cookies, and Butter cookies with sprinkles - basically anything with raspberry jam! The prices are great and I never feel like I'm OVERindulging or paying an arm and a leg {who the hell wants to pay $4 for a cookie at Starbucks when I can get half a pound of butter cookies???}. Service is great too, but the place is a bit warm on a summer's day. I've been coming back every few days to get more! read more

One of the only Italian bakeries left in Sunset Park. When you walk in, you are greeted by a lovely old Italian grandma who says, "GOOD MORNING." When I ask her what's good, she says, "EVERYTHING." Like the service, the pastries are sweet, but not overly sweet. Since discovering this bakery in the midst of Mexican restaurants of Sunset Park, I can tell it is very special. It delivers all you could want from a bakery like Veniero's, but it doesn't have the hype surrounded it. This keeps the prices low and our bellies full. After selecting a series of cakes, I must say I cannot choose a favorite. The strawberry shortcake was very rich, almost like a wedding cake. The strawberry jelly enhanced the flavor of the butter cream just a bit. The tiramisu was perfumed with liquor and had traces of salt and other spices. The chocolate mousse was light and airy and full of flavor. The cookies are fresh and delicious. This Italian family definitely knows what they are doing and have been doing it for years. read more

I walked past this bakery several times, but never would have thought to come inside. One holiday, either Thanksgiving or Christmas, my sister had bought a cookie gift set for a friend and she also bought one for the house. I usually don't like the italian butter cookies (2 cookies sandwiched with jam in between and chocolate dipped ends with sprinkles) because they're dry and just blegh. But these cookies were delicious. One day I will have the courage to try their cakes. I'm afraid the cakes will be blegh, but I guess I wont know unless I try.....hey, my birthday is coming up soon, so why not!!! *Update*...I have tried their cakes and they are very moist. My favorite cake is the vanilla cake with pineapple and custard filling. We've ordered that cake a few times. Another good one was the cannoli cream filled cake. read more

really good local bakery. really good bread great cookies and canolies awesome cupcakes everything they make is pretty good. coffee and cappuccino is excellent read more

I went in to order two cakes today. I went early in the morning. It's a small little shop. I'm due to pick up my cakes Saturday. They're pretty busy so I hope the cakes come out great. They're very kind and generous. They took their time to take my order regardless of the length of people lined up to get their morning coffee. I hope all the reviews are true to their taste buds. I'll update my review once I've received and sliced my cakes. Pictures to follow. Follow up. I lied about the pictures. Hahaha I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the cakes prior to being cut. But I ordered a chocolate and vanilla cake. Somehow I expected the actual bread/cake part to be two different layers of each flavor...but no. It was the custard. So that cake was okay. Moist. Not that crazy over it. The kids didn't like it much. The second cake was better. Strawberry shortcake. Full of more preserved strawberries. The adults liked it. read more

I say "a-ok" because it's my first at this bakery. It's an old school Italian bakery and affordable prices. I bought 2 items, total cost of $5. I bought an Apple Strudel and Almond Horseshoe-shaped cookie. the Apple Strudel isn't too sweet. The pastry is flaky. The filling has chunks of apples. It's decent compared to other apple strudels from various sources. The Almond Horseshoe-shaped cookie is ALL almond paste. However, it seems they blended the paste with a little simple syrup. It's a huge cookie made of almond paste, so you might want to ration it out. The exterior is studded with sliced almonds. The texture reminds me of coconut macaroons. There are seats and tables so you can sit there and indulge. Also, it has machine to make cappuccinos. read more

Great neighborhood spot that's been there forever and great service and overall a good old school Italian bakery and I had a cake made there for my mom and it was good. read more

I love going to this bakery, went this morning. I go maybe 3 times a month. I believe he is the owner of generous, today he severed me, he always pleasant, there pumpkin is $12 he gave it to me for $10 how can you say no to that. His wife is another plus, she smiles and very much willing to help, there son even waited on me b4 and he to was great. Today I got 2 Apple strudels, 2 huge Apple turnovers, 1 blue berry muffin, 2 large butter cookies w a cherry in the middle and of course my pumpkin pie. Altogether at another bakery I would probably pay $40 or more for everything but at generous I paid just a little $20. There bakery is so good I even got my mom going there to by there sugar free cookies for the seniors she works with, which she said they all love. P.s. if you have kids that love Oreo get them the Oreo cupcake they would love it, it's top with whipped cream and is very tasty. But you should know they sell out of them very fast. read more

I love a traditional Italian bakery . Workers are always sweet . Cannolis are a big thumbs up here and then they're freshly filled once you order . Lots of other options of pastries,cookies,bread,pies,cake,and hot drinks to chose from . Sandwiches are also made to order . read more

Kind staff and diverse selection of classic Italian and traditional Mexican baked goods. The conchas (a personal favorite) are delicious, as well as the biscotti. So grateful to have discovered this place during the pandemic. Comforting and authentic baked goods at an affordable price! Also has delicious fresh bread btw everything is made there (not delivered) all their ovens are in the back!! read more

Favorite turkey, egg, & cheese in all New York!!! They always make sure to fill up the roll & cheese is always warm and fully melted! They never disappoint!! read more

Once again Generosos Bakery came through. Ordered cupcakes for my daughters school party. They were a good size for the little ones. Vanilla buttercream and milk chocolate frosting, delicious!! Also picked up a Birthday cake with chocolate mouse and cream filling excellent. read more

I used to come here all the time until I heard the manager laugh and comment about something that was very derogatory. The Italian lady is somewhat nice when she pleases and the Italian man is rude. Some of those cookies to be honest remain in the fridge for days, when they are fresh yes they are good, but besides that be careful with what you order and be ready to spend since they make up prices when your there, they claim they weigh everything. read more

The first time I ordered from here it was great. The food was amazing, the order was correct. The second time I ordered, it was a disaster. First, I got a call informing me that they were out of the type of bread. No big deal. Then my order arrives, the sandwich is missing! Apparently they didn't hand it to the delivery guy. Okay, they said they would have him bring it. No big deal, I just made myself lunch and figured I'd eat the sandwich later. The delivery man then comes and brings the sandwich. I'm not mad, I even tip him a second time for making the trip twice. Then, I unwrap the sandwich and it is completely room temperature! Even the mayo looked like it had been sitting for the 2 hours that it took for me to get the sandwich! I wasted $9:50 on a sandwich that I had to throw in the trash anyway. Sorry, I can't order from here again. read more

Generoso Bakery - A very underwhelming, room temperature ham, prosciutto, and mozzarella sandwich. I regret paying $9.50 for this. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped by here real quick to do some last minute cake shopping. Friendly service and they had strawberry short cake. Unfortunately ate it all before I could take any pictures. Overall the prices were reasonable and they were open decently late for a cake shop. I would go back again if I was in the area. read more

Generoso's Bakery has the perfect name. They're very generous when they make your hero sandwich. Well over an inch of roast beef in my hero! The people there are very friendly and want to make your food just how you like it. Also, excellent cannolis. Make sure you're hungry when you go! BTW, they do deliver local, $10.00 minimum. UPDATE REVIEW. On a recent order I had delivered, one of the hero sandwiches had two small pebbles inside of them nearly breaking a tooth. Generoso Bakery has lost my business. read more

Very good coffee, pastries and sandwiches. Staff is very nice as well. I especially like the almond horns and danishes.

So, Ive lived in the neighborhood for my entire life and this is THE bakery you go to in the morning for your bread bagels etc. around here BUT,I had to give them 3 stars due to the fact I've been dealing with the same stupid situation in this place FOR-EV-ERRRR......Here's how it goes down EVERY time.. ME:"HI,good morning.Can I get 2 SEEDED Italians breads" Store clerk: (looking back at bread on shelves):"AWWW sry we only have Italian bread wit NO seeds left" Mind you its like 9:00am AND the ppl in coming from church who MOB the place havent even gotten out of service yet to buy EVEN more seeded bread that wont be there so, thats more lost money. My point is with the way mofos LOVE Italian seeded bread around here ,AND with the TON of non-seeded bread on the shelf, why wouldnt THEY make MORE friggin SEEDED BREAD AND LESS NON SEEDED!!!! ARRRGHHHH!!! read more

Really loved the butter cookies dipped in chocolate. Have tried other places in the neighborhood but they fall short. This place is offers fine Italian treats, but the selection is not very large. Probably the only Italian bakery in Sunset cause most other places around are Mexican and the flavor is really oily or extremely dry in these places. I dont have any problems with Mexican desserts really. But once you taste Italian pastries they are so much richer and buttery.....hmmmmm butter (In my best Homer Simpson voice) :p read more

The best pastries and they deliver!!! They also make sandwiches. Old school Italian bakery, not many of them left!!!!

I discovered this place awhile back and was so impressed to find something like it in the neighborhood. I could keep going just for nostalgia alone. read more

Love our local bakery! Their treats are always delicious! Great service, wonderful owners! We will be back very soon!

Five stars for the rainbow cookies alone. They're moist, decadent, full of rich almond flavor. When I bring them to gatherings folks from all over the city tell me they're the best rainbow cookies they've ever had, by far. One person told me they don't usually bother with rainbow cookies because they're usually dry and tasteless. But they were raving about these ones. read more

The cannolis!! Best I've ever eaten in my life! Also love that this place makes me feel like I'm in a small town. Best neighborhood place and such kind people. read more

One of the biggest selections of Italian cookies ive ever seen in my life. Cannoli's too! love them! I love family run bakeries bc it gives me hope for my own bakery that i will one day open.
