I'm a huge bread connoisseur and have tried countless different kinds of bread from numerous locations and I can easily say the sourdough bread from here is in my all time top 5! Literally one of the best breads I had in a while and just like that this just became my go to bakery! The staff here is super nice, I believe I spoke with the owners son and he told me all about the different breads and stuff they have in the store. Also the bread usually sells out quick so I suggest you come here before noon in order to get the good stuff.
New York is inundated with French-style pastries, and it seems that croissants and their various iterations have a chokehold in this city. It is nice to see a bakery that offers something other than what's currently in vogue. Masa Madre offers sweets you'll often see at a panaderia. Their star product is the concha, a brioche-like bun filled with compote and topped with sweet craquelin. I tried their holiday concha, designed with Santa Clause's signature suit. The bun was soft, and the berry compote was a good balance of sweet and tart. The craquelin added a nice crunchy texture, adding another layer of sweetness that wasn't overpowering. Overall, I enjoyed what I tried, and I welcome anyone seeking a respite from flaky croissants to give Masa Madre a try.
Mas Masa Madre, por favor!! I dragged my sister and niece to come with me last week and we all loved it! I love that there was twist on the classics but also new treats. Also was surprised by the bread options. The fancy desserts were tempting! Especially the "Ferrero Jose", I want to taste the twist! I ended up picking a spiral treat of croissant dough with the classic chocolate concha paste swirled in. I also ordered a small coffee and a Rajas tamale for later. The lady in line told me they were so good here. There's a few tables to sit at. The door handle is shaped as a croissant. The staff is super helpful and nice. I'm so happy to finally make it and can't wait to return. Also need to try out the tortas! I love me a Latin sandwich! Also will have to take my parents when they visit next time!
Came back to try the tortas and wowwwww. It was the perfect messy sandwich. I got the weekly special, pork belly torta, and the pierna adobada (my phone did not eat first..) The pork belly torta was perfectly balanced between savory, sweet, and acidic. The adobada was bold and spicy. I got both on the pan Cristal bread, which was fantastic. It had the thin crispy shell and the sourdough flavor really shines through. Hoping to grab a loaf next time to make another awesome sandwich. I'm eyeing the other torta for my next visit, and of course all the amazing pastries!
Small, cute, and homey. The person behind the cashier was really nice. She answered any questions I had. Most bread pastries there have sour dough. It just smelled amazing in there. The bakery has classics like conchas, but they also had modern mixes on Mexican classics and European pastries. I felt like a kid in a toy store. If bread is your weakness you'll love this place. I got a coffee, a chicken tamal, a cinnamon sourdough loaf. The loaf was amazinggg with my coffee. I had the tamal at work and omg it was really good too. It was pretty big tamal. I would definitely buy it again. In addition I got a seeded sourdough loaf and a sourdough croissant bread pudding. Both looked amazing. I eat through my eyes. I'll update when I have those. UPDATE: seeded sourdough is amazing one of the best loafs I have ever had and I buy fresh bread a lot
Back for more! They did a special in October - pumpkin spice cream concha - and it was incredible. I also tried the mango and passionfruit tres leches, which was good, but the conchas are where it's at. Next time: I need to try the doughnuts and tamale! Upping to 5 stars.
Nice quiet place to sit and enjoy dessert with friends and family. Service was quick and the server was very helpful. The sourdough chocolate concha was great, not too sweet. Loved the tres leches the most, the cake was nicely moist, as should tres leches cakes be, and the mango-passionfruit flavorful was delightful! This is my first time having a tamale. The pork tamale here was okay overall.
Masa Madre is a new Mexican Artisnal Bakery in Sunnyside Queens. What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood! They offer a large variety of baked goods, as well as some savory items. There are two tables inside for Dine-in. Masa Madre had great customer service and I felt the warm welcome! Loved the croissant door knob! lol Masa Madre offers a large variety of baked goods as well as some savory items. Their plain Concha ($2.50), was wonderfully light & fluffy, yet deliciously crunchy on the outside. This was my first time having a Concha and I am a new fan! They come in different flavors, and some also have cream fillings! There were so many tempting items at Masa Madre that I couldn't resist ordering additional items. The regular brewed coffee ($3.50) was good. I also ordered an almond croissant ($4.50) and a tres leches dessert ($5.50). Both were phenomenal!! The almond croissant was HUGE!! The Tres Leches dessert was perfection; so satisfying without being too sweet. Looking forward to a return visit! There were so many different items to try. They also have savory dishes as well. I'd like to try their tamales next time! Welcome to the neighborhood, Masa Madre!!
Very cute bakery! Had a decent variety of treats close to closing but definitely worth stopping by for a concha or two! I grabbed some tamale too that tasted great but also weren't too good but satisfied well! I hope to be back again for more fresh goodies and even to have a seat and enjoy everything! The seating is great in the small bakery with the kind worker!
Masa Madre is located on 46th St, off Greenpoint Ave. Metered Street parking if driving; school on the same block so watch out for schooldays street signs. 7 train- 46 St /Bliss St stop; a few bus lines as well. Three tables only indoors. Maybe can be a bit brighter inside. Tried a few things so far. I like their breads. $2.50-4.50. Some looked simple but were tasty/sweet enough as is, shareable, and for me they're very good for coffee time like: Concha and Chocolate concha- sweet spongey breads, which I liked to dip in my coffee; Mexican chocolate croissant; Aguacata - has anise, brown sugar sweetened; Banderilla and pan de queso. Dessert items: Conchitas with vanilla cream - concha with fluffy cream and not too sweet. Mango passionfruit tres leches - soaked just enough so I like the texture; the fruit flavors are in the cream on top. Piedras (The Rock) - shortbread but was dry and a bit hard, like it's name. Mexican hot chocolate ($4) was ready- made. Creamy and cinnamony but too sweet for me. Noticed they have Tamales so got the Green chicken ($3) and Chapin pork ($5). Both meaty, flavorful but chapin was saltier. Asked what Guajolota was- it's tamale inside baguette bread, which I was told is another way tamales are eaten in Mexico. $6. Tortas prices range from $13-$15. Maybe will try these next time. Service was great. I asked a few questions on each visit and the employees were very pleasant and accommodating.
Never skip the side streets when exploring new areas! Hidden in Woodside is one of the most amazing little neighborhood bakeries with mouthwatering pastries and breads. The owner and staff are very welcoming. Daniel took the time to explain the different offerings since I wasn't familiar with them. Masa Madre offers a variety of breads, pastries and desserts. I purchased several different pastries and they were all so good. The Concha was light, airy and not too sweet with a hint of vanilla and a butter sugar topping. It reminded me of a brioche in away, literally melts in your mouth. The Banderilla was just as delicious with a thin caramelized sugar glaze and its crispy puff texture. The Piedra reminded me of a dense hearty bread. It was filled with raisins, chocolate and had coconut shreds with a glaze on top. You can tell that everything is made daily with how fresh it is. Masa is more of a to-go place especially if you are a few people. There is seating but it is very limited. I am excited to go back and try one of their speciality breads. The customers before me were raving about the sourdough.
I went to Masa Madre Artisanal Bakery in the afternoon to pick up some yummy Mexican bread. I picked up three chocolate concha's, three Mexican Chocolate Croissants, and one concha with raspberry filling inside. The service was excellent and quick. I took a minute or two to regroup myself and decide what to take home with me. The ambiance is cute with small limited seating inside and some seating outdoors. I have been here one other time beforehand and honestly I loved their Mexican bread. The taste is just superb! 10/10 Mexican bakery
Masa Madre was unfortunately disappointing albeit I really wanted to love it. I got several items from here where most of the items inside were burnt/not cooked completely (kind of ironic if you think of it). I didn't enjoy any of the items that I got but I wish I did & wish the business the best of luck as the employees were really kind.
Not a huge concha fan but Masa Madre probably made the best one I've had so far. The pastel Gloria was really good as well. The bakery is small but there is a couple of seats where you can people watch and enjoy your pastries and coffee. The service was great. Very nice and patient. Definitely would make it a regular spot if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

Was tired of buying Trader Joe's sourdough so gave this place a try. Omg, their sourdough is phenomenal! Crusty on the outside and so soft on the inside. Only buying my bread from here moving forward. Highly suggest it! read more
This bakery was a nice put stop. Picked up a tamale, coffee, a chocolate donut and mini concha. Service was fast and the gentleman was helpful and friendly. It is a nice bakery with display cases of their products and open kitchen vibes. The concha had whipped cream and a dollop of cream in the middle. Made it sweeter and fun to eat. The chocolate donut was delicious, but nothing out of the ordinary. I got a Rojas tamale, it was mid, it was too mushy for me, I prefer more of a solid mush if that makes any sense. I would give it a try again if I was in the area. read more
I came here for a visit since I heard a lot of positive things and the item that I came here for was just OK but the items that I bought just by the eye test turned out to be really good. The food: Dulce de Leche Buttercake- I thought this was made really well, I really loved the buttercake aspect of this but the dulce de leche part came off too sweet to me, glad they only put a small amount of the dulce de leche. I really enjoyed the buttercake part a lot but if they had like a raspberry version or strawberry, I would be there everyday lol This reminds me of an upscale version of the Pepperidge Farm Verona cookies and I love the Verona cookies. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=e1TVq_6hgfedxRAgtbW7GA Pastel Gloria- Guava and cheese. The one thing I have learned is that guave and cheese makes so much sense. I think the first time I had this combo was from a famous bakery in California called Porto's and it is really an amazing combo. I thought the one here was excellent, the guava was sweet but not over the top and I really enjoyed the bread part of this pastry. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=ajxeXyAZJU_8VCpcoQrJDQ Vanilla Concha- This was the reason I came to the restaurant and while it was fine, it came off kind of boring to me. It really reminded me of a Chinese Bolo Bao. It was nice and airy with a nice crispy top but I think this came off a bit bland to me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=9LzIgKzRhyMdT6vQY1drpQ read more
I'm normally skeptical about most bakeries so I only grabbed the items provided to me for the yelp event. I took a bite of each item in the car & then walked right back in to buy something . I tried the concha, the Mexican chocolate croissant and the banderillas. All of them were a 5/5 in my opinion but the banderilla took the cake! All fresh and not dramatically sweet. A perfect breakfast pastry in my opinion. And each were very unique in their own way. Service was great. I was given an explanation of each pastry and a little bit of history. The ambiance was nice; small shop and maybe I'd eat my pastry and sip a coffee there one day if I had time read more
Wanted a concha, and I saw they had tamale, so I made my way over here to try both! I hadn't had an El Chapin tamale before (from my understanding, it is a Guatemalan version of a tamale, where it is filled with pork and wrapped in banana leaf), so I was curious to try it. It had a tender big hunk of meat nestled in the middle of perfectly soft masa, with a slight spice, though it could use more. It was hot and well packaged! I will definitely try out their other tamale. The concha had a great crisp on top balanced by the soft bread! One of the best I've had. The service was very friendly and quick. They are more of a grab and go spot, but had a couple small tables inside. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely grab things to go! read more

Location: Sunnyside NYC Service: It was great. Ambiance: clean and not loud. It was not as spacious but enough. There is a table outside too. Went there on a pleasant day. Food: ill put a note on the photo. I tried four. Dulce de leche, chocolate concha. Banderilla, chocolate croissant. I chose 3 of my fave. But all tasted so so good. Highly recommend! read more
I'd heard that Masa Madre is a really interesting little bakery with a super knowledgeable, friendly staff, unique breads and super fresh pastries. So upon learning that they would be open on a Monday (their usually day off) due to Cinco De Mayo, I went to Woodside to check them out. The bakery is cute, sparkling clean, and staffed by people who know how to make some amazing breads and pastries. The air was full of delicious scents, the conches were colorful, and the sourdough loafs looked enticing. It was honestly tough to choose what to try. In the end I walked out with Conchas, a "Mexican style" Piedra, and a Banderilla. I have a feeling that I couldn't have made a bad choice here. Everybody in my family had a different favorite, but really enjoyed tasking everything. Next time I'll try the one of the sourdough loaves too. read more

This is the BEST bakery in Queens, and might be the best in NY state. It has a unique taste, every taste is so FRESH and delicious. It taste all natural and unique. The baked goods have that heavenly taste of one of a kind. This get my stamp of "you must do in NY" I often try new places with the wish and desire to taste new flavors, this is it, this is THAT unique delicious taste I was looking for. Downside? Now, I am addicted to this bakeries and I eat here almost every day. Yeah, it is that good! It made me feel like I was eating in Europe, not in Queens. If you want to make a friend or family extra happy, let them have the experience of eating the bakeries here. The Pan con Queso was absolutely one of a kind, the Almond Croissant was the best I had had in my hole life and HUGE ! If a man was a bakery, this is the bakery I want to married and eat for the rest of my life. How did the cook came out with such a great on point taste? I have no idea...but I will surely try to meet the cook. read more
It is the best Bakery Ive ever been to in NYC. Every baked good, drink, and food was 10 star. This is Mitchlin Star good and I said what I said and mean it. The Baker and owner has been working for over 30 years Worldwide. The restaurant is only opened in October of 2024. They blend Latin & European desserts, baked goods and food. The Rochelle Hose is outrageous and the sourdough bread and almond croissant, and pan dulce. Order all of the tamales. (Mexican and Guatemalan) and the stuffed Concha was delicious. read more
This is another place in Sunnyside that I've been wanting to drop by because people like the conchas here. I just got two plain conchas which were $2.50 each (though the cream filled one was calling to me too), but they also offer a wide assortment of other Mexican-influenced sweet breads, donuts, and pastries, as well as some savory options - they honestly all looked really good so I definitely have to come back again. This was actually the first time I had a concha even though I've been eyeing them for years. They remind me a lot of Chinese pineapple buns, which I love, and the taste is honestly fairly similar. There's just the right amount of sweetness from the craquelin topping, and the bread was chewy and soft. I was intrigued by their Mexican chocolate croissant and their guava and cheese pastry so I will be back to try those! read more
A few friends had recommended this bakery, so my husband and I had to check it l, out and I'm glad we did! The service was spot on and the ambiance was cute. The baked goods are pretty damn good as well! We ended up getting a Mexican hot chocolate croissant , a pastry with vanilla cream , and a mango tres leches. The baked goods were amazing, the tree leches was good but a little too sweet for us. I would definitely go back to check out some of the other baked good! read more
great bakery and affordable too. first time having a concha but ill definitely get another soon. the torta i got was also packed full and very fresh. im not a cheese person but i still think about whatever cheese was in this sandwich. read more
I've had the tamales, concha, and banderillo pastry and all were fantastic. The pork tamale was best I've ever had - super moist and tasty. Concha are great too. Everything looks so good though and need to make my way through everything. read more
Masa Madre is a dream: I can only speak to their conchitas and conchas which are the perfect blend of crispy exterior and fluffy interior. The menu is curated and lovely. If I lived closer, I would indulge more in the rustic loaves and baguettes. The selection is beyond tempting for all pastry lovers. The pastries are expertly crafted in an open kitchen which I always view as a sign that the chefs have both integrity and openness. The staff are warm and sweet, much like the pastries and breads they hand to you. I wish I were local so I could make this my neighborhood bakery. It's that good. There is limited seating, cafe style, within right next to the front window and a few outdoor cafe seats as well. Parking is primarily street and well, New York, so take the train or walk. read more
Believe the hype! EVERYTHING at this bakery is delicious, with top quality ingredients, top quality technique, competitive pricing, and kind knowledgeable staff. My Queens Foodie FB Group brought my attention to this Mexican (+ french, central american) bakery. This is the 3rd business for the owner, who runs De Mole Restaurant in Sunnyside & Williamsburg; and apparently did years of R & D for this "passion project." I think they've also sold at the Sunnyside Greenmarket and have participated in Queens restaurant week pop-ups and other initiatives; great for them they opened a brick & mortar (October 2024). Looks like the news outlets love them - well deserved! $2.50 AGUACATE! Just get it. Had no idea what it was but a the food group mentioned it. It's a cross between a bread / a soft cookie / soft pita shape; with bits of piloncillo (brown cane sugar) in it - some oozing out during baking and caramelizing with crisp spots! I couldn't stop going back for more bites. The CONCHAS. Now I believe the hype! A simple brioche bun in concept; but this was SO pillowy and light, with light sweetness from the vanilla "cookie" topping. Also amazed about this engineering feat of the topping melting onto the bun. It doesn't crumble off into messy pieces!! Unlike other conchas that I've had (mostly from the supermarket or street vendors). This is Artisanal! Everyday elevated items - maybe WHAT the item should actually taste like. The 3rd item that I got was the Dulce de Leche Almond Cruffin (they call it a Croissant). The exterior was crispy shattering, the laminated dough was buttery and dense. The Dulce de Leche was sweet, but not overpowering and very thick. I wonder if it's homemade, there wasn't any other almond ingredient in the croissant, but assuming that it was just the almond topping. There was also an Apricot Almond Cruffin, will have to try it next time. What kind of butter/lard do they use in their baked goods?! Each one had a distinct texture and crumb; it was great trying bites from these 3 very different items, executed so expertly. $9.75 (cash %) for my 3 items. Apparently, their Coffee is wood smoked, their Mexican Hot Chocolate Croissant is the chocolate topping from the Chocolate Conchas, rolled in with the croissant. Their regular Croissant was reviewed one of the best in the NY Times. And their breads are from a sourdough starter that the Chef has been working on for the past 3 years; learning the recipe from his wife, Guatemalan mother. They also sell tamales, with a Guatemalan version, after 11 AM. The shop is located in the more residential area, with a high school on the north side of the block. It's about a 5-8 minute walk from the 7 subway station. There's only two small round tables at the front of the shop, so wouldn't recommend dining in, or bringing large groups. There's a good amount of space to lineup and it sounds like their weekends have been very busy, selling out early. Love their façade, and simple, charming space, with a chandelier made of Mexican, hot chocolate mixers. The case of amazing items are the true stars here. Five stars for the croissant door handle too! read more

Welcome to Woodside! One item to note, they are closed on Mondays. Open 7AM-6PM (until sold out) on Tuesday- Sundays. Warm welcome by the employee. They have 14 bread items. They sell the tamales and bread until it's sold out for the day. I asked the employee what a conchas. It's a sweet bread brioche with a top that looks like a Chinese pineapple bun (but it's not). Decided I want to try that, heard about the cornbread so had to try that, and almond croissant. I was debating about the pan de la abuela though I think it would have been a bit too much bread for me. Think I went a little overboard as it is. The 2 tables blocked the counter display that was facing the window. I was putting away my goodies when I noticed the bread pudding and butter cake fruit on that side. Oh, well will try next time. read more
Who says I'm an Yelp Elite? I am! Today I went here all by myself on a rainy Tuesday morning during my personal day off from work to go to my ninth Yelp Elite Event feeling good. The service there was pleasant and friendly and thanks to the baker Daniel again when I got 3 different kinds of pastries which includes the banderillas, conchas and Mexican chocolate croissant that it tasted sweet and delicious that I only brought the hot chocolate to enjoy it while eating it nice and slowly. I couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

One of my favorite finds of 2024, masa madre is bringing Sunnyside high-quality artisanal baked goods that'll keep you coming back for more and more. We got a few things, including their corn bread, dulce de leche ?cookie and their concha (vanilla). Their concha was the best I've ever had - light, fluffy, fresh with a delicate crumble on top. I could go back for 3 of these in a row. Delicious. The dulce de leche was delicious, too, with a really great texture and crumb to the cake/biscuit outside, with a nice, sweet, but not too much, dulce running in the middle. Well balanced especially for an ingredient that is typically too sweet for my liking. The cornbread was great, too, and I've always said that if a place does something basic really well, it's a good sign about the rest of their items. Will want to return for their tamales and croissants! read more

Please come here for your pastries if you want to have them with coffee these are excellent! I came here during a yelp event week but ended up also purchasing the dulce de leche and a coffee as well. OMG on the dulce the leche it was amazing - sweetened cornbread that went amazing with my coffee. The chocolate concha I would get over the plain/vanilla. The banderilla was fresh and doughy. Very clean inside - The service was great and had a pleasant conversation with the man behind the counter. read more
