I had just finished a side quest in Bushwick and haven't eaten all day. I randomly stumbled upon…read morethis business and decided to give it a try since it holds my favorite type of food ever, pasta !! It's a very small shop with just a few seats, a menu that's kind of hidden above to the right and a hand written menu (with specials for the day) on their drink fridge. I stuck with my gut and got the spicy vodka rigatoni (includes ground pork in the sauce) and fried chicken cutlet on the side with a drink and chips, the chips were free since it was between their lunch special time (12-2pm). The worker that helped me was very informative and answered every single question I had. I waited no more than 5-10 minutes for my food, it was piping hot and FRESH... everything was perfectly made. I really couldn't stop eating it. The fried cutlet was cooked just right and the pasta was an al dente texture to be appreciated. I've also never had a Spellegrino before, it definitely complimented my meal. I will be returning to try something else (or maybe the same thing lol) when I'm around that area sooner rather than later. Pasta: 10/10 Fried chicken cutlet: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Pricing: Fair

They have an Innowi tablet where you can order in store on a kiosk. They seem to have a website where you can do the same if you wanted to order ahead of time, but the website faults when you put your credit card info in. Sometimes when I'm in a rush I try to call them to order ahead but sometimes they don't pick up. They force me to use an intermediary (DoorDash) that marks up their items and takes commission from them. I want them to get all their money!

So so chewy your jaw will have to get to work; i can see how some ppl wouldn't like it bc it's too chewy and dense but i loved it rating: 4/5 - if i take into consideration of the whole menu, this would probably be 3/5 but since i always just get the scallion pancake and pastries, and they have consistently been delectable, it's a solid 4! - i just love the texture and flavor a lot especially the xia - the ambiance is super hippie and chill; it's a perfect spot for breakfast and quick bites; they also got this bar section with a tv playing old school films giving retro vibes - their pastries were all delicious with some unique selection - service has consistently been amazing; workers there were all happy and chill vibes - definitely give it a try but start from the xia and pastries for sure IG: @nom.noms.only

It was dead when we walked in, but I had seen lots of great reviews on Uber eats so I hoped that dining service would be just as good. The space is simple, nothing too fancy, just a local neighborhood joint which I kind of adore. Our server with a young kid, sweet but shy, very friendly though. I got the breakfast quesadilla and the sweet plantains. Both were absolutely delicious and simple for breakfast locally. My only complaint is that I wish it had a sauce... like something to top it with. The sour cream was great, but I wanted like a green or red sauce or something to give it a bit more punch. It was a little dry, but perfectly cooked... a strange combo lol. The coffee, however, made us both chuckle when it came to the table. The glasses were entirely hard to use and not something that I would recommend for table service. It was a struggle and we would've just preferred a simple mug. Otherwise, everything was great and we left happy and full. I'll most definitely be back.

This is an update in March 2026, the ambience, service and food continue/ to be top-notch for a local café. Everyone who works there is either Italian or Italian-adjacent which makes the atmosphere European and cozy. The interior is created by a Film Production Designer and is one of a kind and charming -- made with found objects. I would highly recommend the "classica" piadine & chinotto for an amazing culinary lunch experience. They also have beer and wine and Aperol spritz now and in the summer sometimes they have Aperitivo (cocktails with free snacks!!!) in the evenings on Fridays or other weekend days. I would give them six stars but that's not possible here. Pro tip: their sister restaurant Lella e Cucina on Havemeyer has homemade pasta on the weekends!!! Unreal. read more

That is not a problem here extremely consistent. Additionally, the quality of their pastries is amazing, I mean just look at the photo I uploaded, you can taste the moistness of the cake through the photo.

I've found myself stopping by a few times, most recently on a soft Monday evening, mid-run, just as the sun was beginning to set. It was one of those pauses you don't plan for, yet end up appreciating the most. Each visit has been defined by their pastries--thoughtfully made, deeply flavorful, and consistently comforting. While I've tried a number of items over time, what stands out most is how difficult it is to go wrong here. There's a quiet confidence in everything they serve. On my most recent visit, I settled on a flat white alongside a saffron-based pastry filled with cream. Both were exceptional. The coffee was rich and steady, grounding in its warmth, while the pastry carried a delicate balance of sweetness and depth--the saffron present but never overpowering, the cream adding just enough indulgence to make it feel complete. The space itself feels like a small retreat. The interior leans into a cozy, almost cabin-like warmth--wooden textures, soft lighting, and an intimacy that makes you feel instantly at ease. It's the kind of place that invites you in gently, encouraging you to slow down, even if just for a few moments. On my last visit, I was served by Forrest, who was welcoming and kind, adding to the ease of the experience without making it feel overly structured. Bakeri is not the kind of café that demands attention--it earns it quietly, through consistency, warmth, and the simple pleasure of well-made pastries. It's a place I find myself returning to without much thought, knowing that whatever I choose, it will be just right for the moment.

From the front, Bakeri looks small and cramped, and I think that visual alone probably talks a lot of people out of stopping in. What they're missing is the outdoor patio tucked behind the building, which opens the whole place up. Honestly, if it weren't for my friend, who lives nearby and comes here often, I probably would have skipped it myself based on that first impression. That's just how the cookie crumbles in NYC: plenty of great spots lose customers before they even walk in. The brunch, though, was genuinely good and healthy. I got the salmon and avocado on rye, which was pretty decent. Worth pushing past the storefront and finding your way to that back patio.
