I honestly don't know how anyone could not like this place. Amy is wonderful and kind. I got a cake for my son's birthday, and she promised me her vegan cakes were delicious. She was not wrong! My son has an egg allergy, so we decided on a vegan chocolate cake with a dairy frosting. She made a beautiful chocolate cake with the beautiful flowers on top. The cake tasted like a regular cake, and you couldn't tell it was vegan. It was just incredible. Amy's chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, and I also really enjoy her rosewater scones. The day I picked up the cake for my son's birthday, I also got my mom a slice of vanilla coconut cake which I froze for her visit 2 weeks later. She loved her cake, also. There is literally nothing bad you can have her, and her new partnership with Gratitude Leaves is amazing. Gratitude Leaves also has beautiful flowers, so you can get your cake and flowers at the same time. read more

I came to Luckybird to meet a friend. The place is cute and looks like it's more just for people to grab their take away orders, baked goods and cakes. They do have maybe 4 tables and some seating by the window for people to have coffee and a pastry but that's not what they are really set up for - no wifi and no restrooms for longer visits. They do have cute mugs ans cups and the place looks vintage and sweet. The coffee was just OK, lots of competition in Brooklyn but I don't have an overview on the cakes or pastries - something to try next time. For just the cafe, it's a-ok. Service wasn't at the table you go up to the counter and place your order and they make it for you read more

Read a lot about this bakery and was really excited to try their cake. I stopped by on the weekend and managed to get two slices. They have a window that you can order goodies from over the weekend. I ordered the chocolate chip cake and the scarlet (red velvet). Both were really good. I liked the scarlet a bit more than the chocolate though they were quite similar. The frosting is awesome. I even saved some cake for a day or two later and i though it might dry out but it still tasted great! I would have liked some more textures in the cake, something crispy or crunchy (like salted pretzel), but that's just a personal preference on how I like my cake :). There was no outdoor or indoor seating, just pick up. read more

I've had some of my birthday cakes purchased from here so it's definitely a place I would recommend. This Valentines Day they offered a V-Day cake slice box and I couldn't resist. I think the boxes varied but mine came with a slice of carrot cake, white cake/white frosting, chocolate/chocolate and chocolate cake/chocolate chip frosting. I had a taste of all but definitely took both chocolate slices home. SO GOOD I COULDN'T SHARE! She makes beautiful cakes AND they taste delicious. read more

Absolutely love this place. We ordered our wedding cake here- strawberry lemon. You are able to have a cake tasting or order mini cakes to go in order to select what flavor you want. We communicated through email which for me was the best way. Floral arrangements on the cake where lovely. Good to know they get their flowers for the cake from florist we selected for our wedding " ROSEHIP" so truly everything flowed. The cake was delicious. All our guest raved about it. We even bought another cake a few days after the wedding to celebrate my sisters birthday "coconut " read more

Wow. I live in San Diego and my daughter lives in New York. So her birthday is a little hard to celebrate unless we travel. This year, covid made that impossible so I decided that I was going to order her a birthday cake and have it delivered. Choosing anything from a distance is difficult, but I chose Luckybird and am so glad I did. It was so easy to order by email and Amy was a gem. Quick responder and sweet. The best part, though, was the cake. I chose the lemon berry creme fraiche cake and my girl and her friends loved it! She said it was moist and not gunked with frosting (which she hates...not a big frosting girl); and the fresh flowers on top were gorgeous. I liked that it did not cost me an arm and a leg, even with delivery and they included a little card. Thank you Amy and Luckybird bakery! I'll be visiting your cake window next time I visit her! read more

Like others who have left reviews, I was excited to try Luckybird, but when I reached out to Amy via email (several times), received no response. Crickets. So unprofessional. From the sounds of things, she's looking to cater solely to the wedding crowd, which is certainly her prerogative. I get why some businesses, like florists, do this--it assures that they take on only highly lucrative jobs. But it's not a great way to build a loyal customer base let alone a business that truly serves its community. I took my money elsewhere (Whole Foods) and was more that happy with the result. Instead of a $60 mini cake, I got a really delicious (if less Instagram-friendly) Berry Chantilly cake for $15. read more

Luckybird cakes are beautiful and more importantly delicious! I've had the vanilla rose cake in the past for a rather large celebration and remember enjoying it a lot, I ordered a Meyer Lemon cake for my sisters 30th birthday! Placing the order was simple, let Amy know what you want and she will tell you if she can accommodate and the price. You set the pick up day and time and upon pick up you will receive a very pretty pretty cake! The floral arrangements on the cake is 1000000% and the flowers are all fresh flowers. The cake also tastes amazing- very moist and the cake itself is not overly sweet. My parents really enjoyed eating the cake as well. Will definitely be back for more cakes in the future! read more

Omg These cakes taste as good as they look!! I did a surprise birthday for one of my bestfriends and people couldn't stop taking pics of it and asking what bakery I got it from. Amy is very nice and worked with me since I wanted certain flowers on the cake to look like a mini bouquet, and match other arrangements. She accomplished the look and still put her signature on it to produce an absolutely fabulous cake! Now for the taste.. WOW the rose just coats your palette without overwhelming the cake itself. It's light, yet still decadent. Simply a slice of heaven ! read more

Twice I have ordered cakes for my daughter's birthday from this bakery since I loved the naked cake look and twice they ghosted me. Actually the first time I went to pick up my cake on the day of the party and it was not made. Apparently she was on Good Morning America that day and the order was lost. I had to make a frantic search for a last minute cake, Ovenly came to the rescue. Five years later, I decided to give them another try so I emailed them a month in advance, established contact with Amy and then 2 weeks later emailed with the final headcount so we knew how many tiers to build. This time when I received no response, I reached out to Cake Hero NYC and Melissa made an amazing custom axolotl cake and delivered it to the venue. This business is catered to weddings and media. Good luck getting a cake for a birthday. read more

Lord have mercy My fave bakery for every reason. Only good thing about moving away from them is my waist line is happier. I can NOT walk in without getting a rose water scone plus plus plus. Plus a treat for later. Plus a cheesy scone for a friend. Plus a coffee bc the baristas rock. Plus the salted chocolate chip cookies bc YUM. Plus whatever else Amy has invented that day. Love this spot, it's my Heaven Word to the wise. Don't expect to walk out with just one item. read more

Luckybird is known for their cakes, and while I didn't get a slice this time, I definitely want to at some point because they all looked amazing. I did enjoy the mini rose water scone and chocolate chip cookie (the cookie was perfect). read more

I owe this place an updated review. My first experience with LuckyBird was pretty subpar. However, I decided to give them another try due to the glowing Yelp reviews and reasonable cake pricing. I ordered the lemon meyer cake with pistachios for my friend's bridal shower. The ordering process is super simple. The staff is incredibly responsive to emails and you can pay by venmo. I picked up my cake on Saturday morning. Similar to the other Luckybird desserts (and the storefront), it was beautiful! I was a little worried about the flavor because I previously tried cake slices at the bakery that were on the drier side or tasted too buttery. I'm incredibly pleased to report that the lemon meyer was delicious! It tasted similar to the rose cake but with a more complex flavor and citrus undertones. I also think it helped that the cake was left out for an hour or so, which allowed the buttercream to soften. The cake was such a huge hit and everyone wanted the bakery information after tasting a slice! read more

My boyfriend's mother was trying to make his 30th birthday in lockdown special and found luckybird online. I was *so* impressed with the cake she ordered for delivery to our apt. Adorable naked layer cake was delivered right on time and the packaging/presentation (including fresh florals) was so thoughtfully designed. Perfect petite size (but still impressive with layers) for two people. I was happy the cake stayed moist for almost a week after delivery - with two people it still took a while to finish! I would definitely recommend the cakes and would order as a special occasion delivery in the future! read more

I can't even appropriately explain how amazing it was to have Luckybird be a part of our wedding. All the flavors we tried were phenomenal but we ended up going with a dark choc chip and Vanilla Rose and I have not stopped hearing about how delicious and beautiful the cake was. I can't wait for another opportunity to order a cake and I know exactly who I will be calling. Also I had a few emails with Mary and she was so nice and wonderful to work with. read more

Absolutely satisfied with the beautifully presented Vanilla Rose Cake! Presentation was 10/10 (simple but elegant - many of my friends asked where I got the cake from!) and Mary was so helpful throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly from ordering to pick-up. I also highly recommend their rose water scone! It was so moist and the rose flavor was just so satisfying! I wish that they were open on the weekdays so I can stop by more often! The shop itself was very cute. The pastries on display looked so delicious and tempting! I could not just leave without getting something! If you have a chance, give it try! You won't be disappointed ~ read more

I ordered a vanilla rose cake for my friend's bridal shower. Pick up was easy and Mary was very responsive with the emails. The cake was reasonably priced and I was attracted to the rustic, naked style. I haven't tried any cakes by Luckybird and was very happy with how the cake turned out! It was not too sweet, the cake itself was moist and the rose cream in between was perfectly flowery. The only bad thing I can say about the cake was that I paid extra for extra flowers and that it did not reflect. I wish that they put some on the base of the cake. read more

Artfully curated. The vibe is subtlety hip and unembellished. A cake merchant shares their craft with the world through the intricate vail of a European coffee shop. Buy it by the slice or keep Luckybird in mind for your next special event. The menu is boosted by historically favorited coffee shop confections with a few original upscale twists. Try the Rosewater scone. I asked for a to go bag as the scone was intimidating in proportion. As I ate the last bite - I cowered with a rosé blushed face and hid the to go bag that was no longer necessary underneath the stylish China. read more

I used Luckybird bakery for my wedding in September and couldn't have been happier. The cake was stunning not to mention absolutely delicious. We sampled most of the flavors and chose the Meyers Lemon and Strawberry Buttercream, but truth be told it was a difficult choice as all were delicious! The team at Luckybird was wonderful to work with and extremely attentive from start to finish. If you are considering using Luckybird for a wedding (any kind of event) do yourself a favor and just do it. read more

I liked the welcoming space and equally cordial service here so, so much that the mere thought of dissing this bakeshop cum cafe, even a little, is triggering qualms of Jewish guilt. But am gonna risk it 'cause I feel compelled to tell you about the Biscuit: Anyway, hubby and I stopped in for some breakfast treats to-go. Carrot Walnut Bread, iced with Cream Cheese frosting was moist and delicious. A Scone, which if memory serves, contained caramelized onion had great flavor. But since it sat in our humid kitchen overnight, it became overly soft. Totally our bad, though. Or should I say, dough. As for that aforementioned Biscuit, alas, it was disappointing on a few levels. It was supposed to contain ham, but there wasn't a whole lot of it, plus it tasted a little off, for lack of a better way to describe it. The biggest bummer of all though, is that it was ultra heavy and dense. I don't know about you, but I like my Biscuits light and flaky. There were some GORGEOUS looking Layer Cakes on display during our visit. From what I understand, this is where the strength of this place lies, something I would be most happy to uh, investigate personally on a return visit. But for now, at least, this spot is just 'A-OK' for me. ps Seating is limited, plus am not sure if there is a public restroom. read more

A beautiful cute little spot ! First of all- best cappuccino in the area ($3.75) Hot chocolate was okay.. not the best This place specializes in cakes and they're amazing. They are beautiful and rich and professionally made. I don't believe they offer all flavors every day per slice, but you can definitely order a full cake if any of the offered flavors! I tried the double chocolate cake and it was simple and delicious with chocolate chunks inside All the tea cups, plate and forks are cute and romantically vintage. Service was good and the staff was helpful! This place is right off the L Montrose stop! read more

I'm obsessed with Luckybird- there's no other way to start this review. I first stumbled across their beautiful "naked" wedding cakes on Instagram, and got so excited when I found out they were opening a bakery in East Williamsburg, right off the Montrose L stop. The space is super cute- it's small (only 2 tables) but has plenty of natural lighting and really adorable decor. Not exactly a great place to hunker down for 5 hours, but perfect for snapping an amazing Instagram and going on your way. Luckybird serves up a delicious selection of cakes, pastries, cookies, and ice cream (in the summer at least), but what you should be getting is the rosewater scone. I'm not playing around when I say this is one of the best scones I've ever eaten in my life. It's super fluffy, light and comes with a generous layer of sweet rosewater icing, which is amazing. Rosewater is a hard flavor to pull off, but Luckybird makes it so delicate, fragrant, sweet, and delicious. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Anyways, do yourself a favor and stop here. If you don't come out of Luckybird with at least one delicious sweet treat, there's something seriously wrong with you. read more

What a lovely bakery! It seems like a new place that just opened, based on how there is only 3 reviews of this place so far. Hopefully, this bakery will be able to get more splendid ones! I am eating a slice of their dark chocolate chip cake (dark chocolate cake layered with vanilla bean buttercream and Belgian chocolate chunks) as we speak and it's only 11 AM. I love cake and never find it too early or late to eat cake! Their packaging is awesome and I love the boxes that they put the slices of cake in for you to take home. Even the bird on the box wants some cake. If you don't like cake, there's something wrong with you. read more

This bakery is very beautiful, antique look to it but with a twist. The bakery is open so that you can see into the kitchen. It is such a calming colored space with adorable seating area. However they only have seating space for about six people. This is more of a grab and go place. I went yesterday and tried the chocolate cake with rose water for the first time. I have to say I was very impressed. The taste of rose was powerful yet not overwhelming. The cake was beautiful and it blended very nicely. The service is great and they even offer classes.they are a bit pricey, $6 a slice but the cakes do taste delish. Will be back. read more

Best cake I ever tried. It's beautiful to look at but it also tastes comforting, like if it were made by mom. Whatever the formula is for the perfect slice of cake, Amy figured it out. Sweet but buttery, lemon zesty but smooth. It was the perfect memory to have of my baby shower read more

I ordered a cake for our wedding. It was just the regular cake, not the "wedding" cake, but it was still so beautiful and tasty. It came with flowers on top that really matched our wedding flowers by chance. It's a different style of cake than I've had before in that the icing is hard like to hold the layers in the shape, but we all really liked it. The cake part was moist and the Meyer lemon flavor was good. It came on time and it was delicious, and it made our day! read more

I started following this bakery on IG upon a search. I was wowed by their creations and looking forward to giving them a try for an upcoming event. I purchased 3 cake slices for a taste test. I didn't like any of them. Not moist at all. Way too sweet. I was super disappointed. What's the point of having such pretty cakes if they're not edible? I ended up throwing them out. What a waste of money. These guys are not cheap. They're overpriced and underwhelming. I fell for the hype. Lesson learned. I gave them a star for aesthetics just from their pics alone and another store for the lady at the window, who was very sweet and informative. read more

This has become my favorite coffee shop in the area. I love that it is open early and the prices are comparable if not cheaper than some of the other few nice new coffee shops (Bake Shop, Little Skips etc). Small but there are a couple tables to sit at and cute decor. Sometimes there are brownie samples which are delicious and makes me want to try everything in the place. Customer service has always been super nice and quick. I never have to wait long for my coffee. Recommend: Almond Chai Latte and the Vanilla Brittle ice-cream. read more

I ordered three cakes ( Vanilla Rose, Meyer Lemon and sprinkle) for a bridal shower held on a Sunday afternoon in Manhattan. My first positive thought I had was "yes! They deliver on Sundays!" Buy it only got better from there. The cakes were delivered perfectly on time and were exquisite. They quickly became a focal point for the room and backdrop to many photos. The ladies "oooh'd and ahh'd" for quite some time over the elegance of the cakes. With all the hype of the presentation, I was sure it would be good but they were by far the most delicious cakes I have ever had. The ladies continued to pour in rave reviews over the different flavors and I was continually asked what bakery I used, as well as to pass on compliments to the baker. I would order these cakes again and again even if the service was terrible, but that is not the case here. From my initial email of interest, through the final delivery, Mary (Assistant to the owner) provided wonderful customer service and was very helpful in her recommendations. I found these cakes on instagram as I live in Texas and was throwing a Bridal shower in Manhattan. I would HIGHLY recommend Luckybird and only wished they delivered to Texas! read more

Yelp led me to this bakery. Sadly, it is only open to the public on the weekend. That did not stop me from trying the rosewater scones. They have rave reviews and I placed an order during the week of my visit to Brooklyn to see what all the fuss was about. So glad I did! Pure Botanical Bliss... I also ordered the lemon coconut scones for my hubby's sake. He loved them and he isn't even into scones. It's now on our list of stops whenever we visit Brooklyn. Only a couple blocks from Human Head Records so it's meant to be. read more
