I can't believe I never stepped inside one of these pastry shops. So many cookies. So many cakes. I tried this raspberry triangular flaky thing (forgot name). I'm not a big fan of flaky things, but I wanted to try it. There's a lot of raspberry stuff inside, but I could barely taste it. Definitely going back to try everything they make! The strawberry shortcake looked delicious--but it didn't match up in taste. It was REALLLY fluffy cake though. And the strawberries? Yum. And the gel on the cake? Yum. And the cream all over? I didn't touch it (never do!). They charge per pound (forgot the rate). Update: Chocolate / Vanilla Creme Tart - Tried both of them. I was expecting it to be warm and that when I cut it in half, the creme center would ooze out. But sadly, it didn't. The tarts were cold. It was uber flaky also (the flakes fell everywhere when I was eating it with a fork). It's pricey, but it was worth the try. (Now I know not to get this anymore, haha). read more

I always crave something sweet after I eat. So for lunch the other day, after I went to Krispy Pizza, All of their offerings are pretty pricey (butter cookies are $10/lb). I went with like an apple empanada ($1.50). That's not what it was (since this is an Italian bakery), but it was very similar. It was good. It was hard to discern the quality/type of the apples from everything else going on. I was done with this in 2.5 bites, for the money, it could have been bigger. This place seems all about cookies, which in my opinion are very expensive. I've been to multiple bakeries like this one, I never want to try the cookies because you never know how long they have been there or how long they keep. Case in point, this place was selling Easter cookies 1/2 price (10 days after Easter)... Just saying. read more

See all

Went for the first time after moving to the neighborhood since my co worker raves about them. I love love cookies!! Some bakeries at the end of the day have crummy stale cookies, my husband and I went after work at 6ish and drove the girl crazy picking cookies. They were all super friendly and had so much patience-- most importantly the cookies tasted fresh and soft and amazing. Definitely glad I went ! read more

This is a current review. My wife and daughter met with Antonio to discuss a sweet 16th birthday cake. Our biggest concern with these decorative cakes is the actual taste of the cake. Most places design awesome cakes but make them days in advance and the cake is stale. Antonio ensured my wife he makes the cake the night before. He used his personal cell number if we had any concerns. The cake was perfect from a design point of view. The cake tasted even better. It was moist and the filling had so much flavor. Thank you Antonio. read more

Grandma's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First time trying this bakery and I loved it ! I got a cheesecake for someone's birthday and some cookies. Cheesecake and cookies were delicious. I got a small carrot cake and tiramisu slice which was decent- the flavors were good but I thought the cake portion was a little on the dry side. Service was quick. Would definitely recommend stopping in and trying some sweet snacks read more

Love this bakery! The best one in the area. We go here for their cannolis all the time & they are better than any cannoli you can get in Little Italy! Only $2, too. Oh ace also had their cakes and a few different cookies - everything is always fresh and presented well. read more

I love this place!!!!!! This is such a old-time neighborhood spot and I love coming here whenever I'm in the mood for some good ol chocolate cake or tiramisu. They sell biscuits, cakes, and pastries. The large ones are 2.25 and the small ones are 1.75 - this price is amazing considering everywhere I go in the city charges upwards of 5-6 dollars for a slice of cake. Grandma's Bakery isn't anything "special" when it comes to their pastries, but it's certainly home-y and I find the name to be very fitting. To be quite honest, sometimes you do need a place like this when everywhere else is trying to sell something specialized or overtly fancy to attract their customers. Sometimes you just need a good, old-fashioned napoleon pastry and coffee cheesecake. I like this place, for the price and decent quality, I hope this place stays in business for a very long time. read more

Cakes aren't bad. A bit on the sweet side. There's nothing really special. It doesn't feel like grandma baked it, more like hostess did.

I wanted special cookies made for my wedding, and with just a few days notice, they made it happen. They were lovely to work with! The cookies looked beautiful and tasted delicious - people asked for to go boxes to take the extra home! Thank you, Grandma's!!! read more

Last weekend we were in our annual Dyker Heights Xmas lights tour and wanted to try this bakery out. We got regular and chocolate cannoli, napoleon, sfogliatella, and a large lobster tail. I could not believe how disappointing they were. They were all VERY stale and left a nasty after taste. It was inedible. I suspect they were either made at least 10 days or 2 weeks ago. The reason for the 1 star is because the young woman who helped us was extremely friendly. Otherwise, there is no star in the review. Grandma Bakery should really price their goods accordingly, maybe half price for old stuff so as to warn buyers they get what they pay for, and help move goods faster. Beware! read more

Pastries are always fresh (except the linzer tarts which taste like they've been in the fridge for a week). Regardless, I come and shop here all the time. Its worth the trip. read more

I LOVE Grandma's Bakery. It's definitely my "go-to" spot when I need cakes, cookies, bread, or special confections for a special occasion. The staff is very helpful and accommodating, efficient, and service is always with a smile, no matter how busy it gets. Everything that I have bought from this bakery is always fresh and tasty. Each time I serve dessert from Grandma's, invariably people ask me where the delicious pastries came from. This review is my answer. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by Grandma's. you'll love their desserts, too. read more

so disappointed! We brought a cheesecake thinking it was fresh! No employee told my husband that it has to be deforested!!!!!! What a waste !!!!! When I called to confirm that they sell frozen cheese ........ it was stated that "she forgot to tell him" read more

Best old-fashioned Italian pastries in Brooklyn. And the brick-oven bread is heaven. Friendly service and reasonable prices.

Marissa is my girl!! My favorite is blackout cake for my bday!! But I just brought a fruit cheese cake for a bbq.. and all 20ppl dived into it and nuffin was left... so trust me. Just go in.. and see for yourself... read more

So many tasty choices and super affordable. The cashiers were also super friendly. They shared their recommendations with us when we were being indecisive. Will definitely return whenever I need a cake or any other treats. read more

There's nothing bakery that compares to Grandmas. Every time we come to Brooklyn we have to stop by. Love the miniature Cannolis

Really good quality,fresh pastries but one problem they have is the rude employees!!. Every time i was here they were crowded which really good because everyone loves their pastries! read more

so i called my friend one morning and made him get out of bed to drive to bensonhurst so we could go on a cannoli crawl. this crawl involved trying 8 different cannolis from different places in the area. after deciding that we had been walking too long (approximately 5-7 minutes) without trying a new cannoli (that may be a gross underestimation). grandma's bakery rocked up in front of us so we stopped in. the cookies looked good and they had my favorite cookies (the lace ones with the chocolate inside) - which weren't memorable at all our initial reaction was: the cream tasted like icing, too sweet, weird sprinkles on it made it awkward however, upon further discussion, we learned that 1.. we were slowly but surely becoming ridiculous cannoli snobs and 2. all ricotta filling should be a little sweet but more creamy than sweet. 3. weird sprinkles are a norm and are either peppermint pieces or slices of citrus, neither of which we found appealing not my favorite bakery and definitely not worth traveling to bensonhurst for read more

I am lucky enough to find Grandma's packaged Italian Cookies at a local deli in NJ. I love them, soft, fresh, light.

I love Grandma's Bakery. They have a great selection of stuff and their cakes are really tasty. The girls behind the counter are friendly. I highly recommend this bakery, you don't have go to other big name bakeries in the area, Grandma's is just as good if not better. read more

Best birthday cake in the neighborhood bar none. Fresh and tasty. Every cake done fresh. It's not frozen like Aunt Butchies, no attitude like Alba (no you can't have it tomorrow, no you want the next size up). read more

Best bakery in town Try the Linzer tart and you will know this is the best bakery around! so fresh and tasty!!!

I requested a soccer sheet cake for my son's 10th birthday. I spoke to Regina on the phone and she gave me great suggestions on blending cake flavor with icing and filling. My son was a huge part of the process because it was his cake, after all, and she was wonderfully accommodating with his silly request for the cake writing. The bakery made good on its promise to deliver the cake one hour before the party began. The cake was sensational. To say it was a huge hit with the kids and adults is just understating it. It was a perfect end to a perfect party. I cannot recommend Grandma's Bakery any higher than 5 stars because that is all Yelp* gives. read more

Great bakery the bread is extremely fresh and delicious. Always get my hey hero bread here to make great home made cold cuts. Italian bread is very tasty for pasta and soups or by itself. Short bread cookies are wonderful. Staff is always friendly and helpful especially grandma she is always making small talk. read more

I finally found a great bakery. I love the customer service. The cakes and cookies taste amazing always fresh I love it

January 5th was my daughters 2nd birthday, and I went to the bakery that I usually use to order her cake. I was given such a hard time, no one wanted to be bothered, I guess because they wanted to close. They dusted and vacuumed around me, and were no help at all, so I got into my car, drove a little further down 13th Ave., and decided to try Grandma's Bakery... Best thing I ever did, the girls were very helpful, and patient, they were able to give me what I wanted, and the cake was absolutely delicious. Banana/Strawberry with whipped cream, and it tasted like it just came out of the oven. I found a new bakery for all my family events. read more

The best cheese cake I buy here in the area ,,, and the girls working there friendly nice helped me with everything ,, I live in the area and soo far the best bakery I go to , they have everything you need for party read more

Grandma's bakery created such a beautiful cake for my daughter's sweet 16. We gave them a picture of what we wanted and we were amazed at how beautiful the cake came out. It was half vanilla, half chocolate and tasted really good. Thank you Grandma's for creating the perfect cake! read more

I tried some rainbow cookies in Key Food (not where I would normally expect to find incredible fresh bakery cookies) and loved them, the store manager told me they come from Grandma's Bakery. Next occasion I had that required some pastries and cookies I ran right over there. Once again the rainbow cookies were incredible I bought a mix of cookies and mini pastries and I can honestly say everyone was impresses. The standouts were the rainbow cookies (of course) and the mini cappuccino cheesecake. I also noticed a newspaper page of coupons on the front door. I asked the cashier if I needed to bring the physical coupon with me, she said yes but she applied the coupon to my order. Delicious, clean, and friendly. read more

I live in the neighborhood and head over when I need bread or rolls. I did order a birthday cake and it was fresh and delicious. On the other hand, I bought cupcakes once. They looked great but were stale. My husband brought them back and after some argument , got a refund. The butter cookies are okay, but the biscuits are cheaper and better. The prosciutto bread is wonderful but there are 2 other bakeries on 13th Avenue that do things better! read more

I come by here occasionally, I always stop by to get bread in the morning, on top of that their birthday cakes are delicious and creatively made as well as always fresh and never dry or boring. When I want dessert I always get half a pound of 7 layers because they are really good, it isnt too sweet and its soft and quite affordable.Usually if I'm lucky I'll get my hands on some coupons from the marketplace and encourage myself to buy more since I'm confident that I will be satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend this place to people who want great quality pastries and cakes as well as great service from the boss himself. read more

Yum! I have to agree, this spot IS dangerous. Just walking by, the irresistible smell of fresh cookies draws you in. The rainbow cookies are so good and cheaper than other bakeries in the area. The older woman who works behind the counter is a sweetheart. I can talk to her all day. Best customer service around! read more

Dont understand why they package their desserts like Dunkin donuts does when you ask for two donuts. Cake and pastries are not tasty when they are mushed and pressed against each other and the paper bag. They have great desserts and great prices but I'd rather go somewhere that knows how to pack their to go desserts better read more

Love this place! Cookies and bread are delicious. Good old Italian bakery. One of the few you can still find in the neighborhood. People there are super sweet. A must try if you're visiting the neighborhood. read more

Worst place to order a cake. Order a cake for my wife birthday Friday for Tuesday pick up after 6 pm. When I went to pick up after 7 pm they lost the receipt so my wife had no cake. Ask if we can wait 5 minutes after being told the bakers left. Then who was expected to make the cake the girls at the register. Requested a full refund and will never go back. read more

Totally sucks. The cake was old and tasted like crap. Very disappointed. The service was terrible, the chicks behind the counter were more worried about filling their mouth with the next cookie than helping. read more
