    blueberry and corn danish ($9) and cheesy pretzel bearclaw ($6.50)
    Connie H.

    I went to Radio Bakery twice in a week recently and I am not mad about it. Loves: + The croissants are so good. Had the blueberry & corn ($9) and seasonal heirloom tomato ($8) and enjoyed them both. + My personal faves are the cheesy pretzel bearclaw ($6.50) and the shakshuka focaccia slice ($9) + Staff is quick and efficient and the long line outside is well organized The reality with Radio at both locations is there will be a wait. Line moves relatively fast but the slowdown is people deciding what to get, so I recommend looking at the menu in advance. Note about food drops: most items drop at 7:30am when they open, but late morning focaccia (eg. tomato & garlic) drop at 10am and lunch sandwiches drop at 11am!

    First time I have walked by and there isn't a like so of course I had to go in. Went with the bacon egg and cheese focaccia. This was delicious but they should definitely keep it on a warming tray or something! It was nice and cheesy with a good amount of the bacon and a whole egg inside. Also had the peach iced tea (doesn't come sweetened but they have options on the bar opposite the register. Service was quick and friendly I was in and out. Grabbed a spot on the bench under the tree to chow down.

    smoked salmon sandwich
    Melisa M.

    love this place!! it is soo yummy which is why it's always busy! You need to get there early in order to make sure you get the smoked salmon it's so good. There's a line that forms outside to go one by one. The staff is always so friendly and nice though! It definitely gets busy and more stuff sells out. The earlier you get there the better.

    I see the hype for radio bakery. Hate that there's always a line but it does move quickly enough and once in there, it feels like there's no rush. We pretty much got one of everything except the sandwiches and they were all amazing. Particularly liked the cornbread, all the Croissants and the garlic bread. That feels like I've said everything and that's pretty much correct. There's some sitting my the entrance window and some outside as well but we got our order to go. Also got the ham rosemary sandwich and maybe I was just really hungry but it was also so good. Hope one day it's less busy when I catch it but absolutely loved it.

    Cherry cheesecake
    Ellen F.

    Very good pastries with lots of options. I went on a Friday morning, waited in line for about 15 minutes, and was still able to get a great selection. I tried their sandwiches--the focaccia with prosciutto and burrata was my favorite, while the ham and rosemary butter sandwich wasn't my favorite because of the ham's texture. I also ordered the cherry cheesecake, which was good but a bit too tart for my taste, and the peanut butter and jelly croissant, which was very good. My favorite, however, was the pistachio croissant. Their croissants are excellent, and I would definitely recommend this bakery.

    Came here on the walk to lunch and saw a short line for once, so had to try it. There was a PBJ and Chocolate croissant, so I had to try it. Even though it was almost $10, it was amazing. Good PBJ layer on top of rich chocolate. Would come back again!

    Peanut butter jelly croissant

    I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so busy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5

    Finally checked out this popular spot everyone raves about. Stopped by on a Friday morning hoping to avoid the weekend long lines. There was a line today too that took about 20 min. They carry sweet and savory pastries and a few sandwich options including one vegan option. Sandwiches are $13-15 and pastries start at $6 and up. Once inside you don't have much time to decide as a steady rush of people come in and staff tries to keep the line moving. It's hard to stop and ask questions about bakery items when it's crowded. Staff could have been friendlier. I got a garlic knot croissant and a rhubarb sweet pastry. Both buttery flakey and very good. The garlic knot was my favorite!! No seating inside and no restroom. There are a few small metal tables and chairs if you can snag one. Most just take things to go.

    Stopped by Radio Bakery on a Sunday afternoon. After waiting on line outside for a bit, disappointed that the only items available were the Brown Butter Corn Cake and a couple of sandwiches. Got the Brown Butter Corn Cake which was pretty good. Will need to return earlier to try the other pastries!

    Cassandra S.

    Hype understood! Got a large variety of sweet and savory items and I was obsessed with every single one. If there's something you're on the fence for, order it and you won't regret it. Best chocolate chip cookie ever!

    Darjeeling cardamom morning bun
    Kathleen S.

    I was lucky enough to walk in to Radio Bakery right before noon on Thursday before the lunch crowd arrived. I bought the pistachio bun, garlic bun, darjeeling cardamom bun, and brown butter corn cake. Pistachio bun ($8): Amazing. This was by far my favorite of the lot. The orange zest elevated this to another level. I loved the pistachio frangipan and orange-infused flavor, as well as the pieces of toasted pistachio (with visible zest) on top. Garlic twist ($5): This tasted like garlic bread in croissant form. This was my second favorite item, even though I don't typically go for savory croissants. I loved the strong garlicky taste--enhanced with garlic oil. Darjeeling cardamom morning bun: I regretted this choice. Waaaay too much sugar on the exterior and just overall too sweet and thick for my taste. I also could barely taste the darjeeling taste. Brown butter corn cake: This too was too sweet for me. Even when eaten fresh, I thought it was too hard. The exterior, which I understand was meant to be a somewhat crunchy and caramelized to contrast with the interior, was too hard. The staff was phenomenally friendly, patient, and kind, especially in answering my questions about their various pastries. All the pastries did taste very rich, high-quality, and with great attention to detail.

    tomato focaccia, pistachio croissant
    Sarah C.

    we waited 30min in line before entering the bakery. I've heard they have the best focaccias and croissants in nyc so I got one of each. I tried the tomato focaccia and pistachio croissant ($15.24 for both) and tbh they were great in flavor but the textures could be better -- focaccia was more dense than I expected, and croissant was kinda hard outside

    Bread on racks from outside on the line
    Saasha G.

    The hype is real but it suck's because so much is sold out by 11. The line moves fast though, I tried the popular Tina sandwich and it was really good had the peppers that have it a kick. I had a sourdough bread loaf and I didn't get to taste it well as it got so hard by the next day it was tough to cut through. I may try them again if I'm ever in that area.

When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

The pairing with chocolate and banana and strawberry is a classic hit and I love that they didn't skimp on the chocolate or biscoff here.

We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries.
