The Radio bakery outlet opened recently in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn and since it's opening, there has been a long line snaking around the block. Finally, the line has been reasonable. I've been a few times trying out their pastries (triple chocolate and pistachio), sausage focaccia, tuna sandwich and more. While those items were yummy, I didn't think they were great, especially for what I paid for them and the wait! The bakery is cute and too bad there's no indoor seating. Staff were very friendly tho. I'm not sure I would make a point of going back there again. read more

One of my favorite bakeries in NYC! My first time at this location specifically and I got the garlic knot and tomato focaccia. Both were incredible and I would definitely come back read more

I've been to their Greenpoint location many times, so I'm super happy they opened up a second location, closer to me! I've visited Prospect Heights twice already. The first time was a total wait of 45mins, on a Friday morning. The second time, I only waited 15mins on a gloomy Monday morning. I recommend visiting on a gloomy weekday for the shortest wait. My favorites are the breakfast sandwiches: smoked salmon and everything focaccia. The burrata focaccia on the lunch menu is also up there. I also enjoyed the scallion twist bun, pistachio croissant and the brown butter corn cake is truly the most underrated item on the menu!! I was a bit disappointed by the matcha mango morning bun :( The matcha flavor was good but didnt pair very well with mango imo. Nonetheless, Radio Bakery never disappoints. I love their creativity. Always worth the wait! read more

Boy oh boy is the line LONG. Thankfully I rave so when I'm done I'll be able to come here after a long night on the weekends to grab these tasty pastries. I would say I was scouting the line 30 minutes before they open but it was so cold I waited in the car until 5-8 people got on line. Wow in the 30 minutes of waiting the line went to the end of the block already and i know people are hungry. Because I definitely am. I won't be able to wake up this early on a weekend so this was my only time. I feel like if you live closer to this location it's more feasible. Lots of people and dogs were freezing on line and when I got in the service was warm and inviting along with the beautiful pastries lined up against the glass. I immediately realized that the bacon and egg and cheese focaccia was almost completely gone and in the morning with no coffee or energy you don't know exactly how your visit will be so I actually understand the people leaving with boxes of pastries... everything seem to be almost gone (the faves) as I'm around the 9th or 10th person on line and I feel like if I don't grab it I might not be able to have it so I just kept ordering that I forgot to grab the plain croissant and ended up with things that look amazing that were almost sold out which apparently were the famous ones. - - - SAVORY - - - BEC Focaccia Breakfast sandwich vibes but it doesn't have a runny egg or anything so I give this a 4/5. The bread is great I just think that I wish the yolk was more runnier than what it was. Shakshuka focaccia Amazing flavor- 5/5 they really made this taste just like a shakshuka dish in the morning all in one focaccia. I honestly was impressed. French onion croissant Amazing innovative thinking on this one as the wheel of the onion was complimenting the shape of the croissant. I don't know it was a 3/5 when it started but it became a 5/5 as the flavor of the middle of the croissant really gave it everything it needed of slightly sweet and savory and taste just like a French onion soup but it's not a soup. This is one I kept going in for bites because I just can't grasp why I love it so much. Scallion twist - very tasty 4/5 one of the better ones I've had the scallion tastes very fresh. - - - SWEET - - - Matcha coconut puff 3/5 this looks amazing to an Asian person but not creamy at all which made me disappointed but also you should know it's not meant to be creamy at all. It taste like matcha and coconut- exactly what it's supposed to be but idk why I was expecting it to blow my mind. I guess my expectations for any matcha pastry is extremely high as someone who is a big fan of Japanese sweets. Cinnamon roll 4/5 This one is sticky and crunchy! Not like your typical soft cinnamon roll. I enjoyed it and definitely enjoyed it more warmed up so definitely heat this one up! Overall I don't think I can brave the lines again but maybe the lunch time since I heard the sandwiches are to die for but I might die on the line if I ever wait again in the cold so spring time is my time. read more

Came here at 11:30 on a Saturday morning and it was about a 20 min wait, not bad honestly. Ordered more than probably was wise but did get to sample most of their selection. My absolute favorite was the brown butter corn cake, which had so much of that toasted brown butter caramel notes that I love. Also of note are their focaccia, which had such a bouncy, springy texture inside (I'd love to come back to try their sausage focaccia, which was sold out by the time I got there). Pistachio croissants are good (filling was really yummy), the blueberry tart was delicious if a bit messy to eat, and the darjeeling morning bun had a really nice buttery flavor. Also had this curry sausage roll and tried their chocolate chip cookie, which were good but didn't stand out to me as much. read more

If it's an itch you want to scratch like it was for me, by all means go. The food is tasty, it is. Whether or not the line--and there will be a line--is "worth it" is obviously subjective and hinges on how well you're able to manage your own expectations. I was 8th in line at 7:20 on a Thursday, served and out within ten minutes of opening. Smoked salmon focaccia sandwich--delicious. An elevated lox on everything bagel. Crispy, salty, creamy. The pickled onion makes it. Rhubarb pastry--not bad, but not for me. Coconut almond chocolate croissant--delicious. Flaky and buttery outside, moist decadence inside. Coffee--kinda bad! But served in the classic NYC Greek to-go cups, a cute touch. read more

I've been waiting forever to try Radio Bakery but really did not want to wait in the line for some pastries. Finally made the trek on a Sunday morning and got in line at 8:11am. 22 minutes later, we were inside and ordering our pastries! We got quite a few things to try because we finally made it to Radio and had to make the most of our time. The Salmon Focaccia was hands-down the best thing here. I loved the focaccia which was so pillowy, fluffy, and flavorful. The salmon inside was also really fresh and I enjoyed the freshness from the dill and onions. The Cheesy Bearclaw was my second favorite. I liked how flaky the pastry was and the mustard inside was a welcome surprise. The Pistachio Croissant was very good as well - again, the pastry was super flaky and very balanced. The BEC was delicious and I loved the crispy cheesy edges. Only thing I probably wouldn't get again would be the Matcha Mango, as it didn't really taste like matcha or mango. read more

What're you guys smoking. It was so so so mediocre. Everything we got was waaaaaaay too sweet. Sugar laden cheating to be precise. Never again sorry. Take your sugar and do you know what with it read more

Absolutely delicious food! The line went quickly. The staff was so helpful. The pistachio croissant was amazing!

i really enjoyed the pesto flavor & texture of the bread in the sandwich - so fluffy! i do wish the mango flavor was more prominent in the mango matcha morning bun, but it definitely has a very strong matcha kick that i appreciated! the pistachio croissant, especially the filling, is absolutely divine (albeit on the heavier side). i came here on a thursday around 10:30am & waited about 15 minutes! read more

Radio Bakery is new to the neighborhood and the neighborhood couldn't be more excited. Lines have been crazy since they opened just last Monday. On average it seems like lines are between 40-60 minutes maybe longer if you come at opening. They open at 7:30 and that's when all the pastries are put out too. Apparently people are buying a variety of the pastries every morning because they're new to the area so they've been running out even faster than usual. When I got inside around 11am they only had triple chocolate croissants and regular croissants left. I got the triple chocolate croissant and it was truly amazing. Perfect lamination and great taste. I can't wait to try more of their pastries! The line, though long does move. While there's no seating inside, there are some chairs outside which will be nice when it gets warmer! Hopefully the lines die down a little in the future but Radio Bakery has certainly made a splash already in prospect heights! read more

Biggest tragedy of my nyc trip is not trying their focaccia sandwich. Unfortunately did not have stomach space for it. But got to try the pain au chocolat. Delish. The brown butter cake was so delicious and always a plus when it's encrusted in sugar on top. Chocolate cookie was great too. Really wish I could've tried the matcha bun but came around 2 pm so lots of items were gone. read more

We got a variety of pastries from here. They ranged from excellent (especially the croissants) to just okay. They are visually pretty.

Took advantage of a rainy Monday morning to jump into a relatively short line in front of Radio Bakery today. Credit where credit is due: the classic croissant is fantastic! Flaky, crispy layers protecting soft, cottony layers in the middle. It's not my absolute favorite croissant in the world, but it ranks up there in the top 5. I have faith that other viennoiserie would be just as excellent. The hubs declared the cinnamon bun "pretty good, but really dense," and I noted that he felt the need to microwave [gasp] the bun for a few seconds to soften it up. Note, we live in the area so we were eating just minutes after I walked out of the store. The shop is bright and attractive, and the employees spend time presenting the items in a pleasing way... Maybe too much time? While I was in the store, three employees stopped to rearrange product, and no one kept the line moving forward. The employees are nice and pleasant, but I felt bad for the customers waiting in the rain. This being said, the bakery has only been open for a couple of weeks, so I'm sure they're still working things out. read more

Loved the kale turkey focaccia sandwich. Very disappointed in cardamom bun. It was dry and had no cardamom, really flavorless

amazing stuff - everything looks so good it's hard to choose. go on a weekday when lines are much more reasonable. the nduja spiral croissant thing is one of the best savory pastries I've ever had - so much depth and flavor throughout, with great texture read more

Have you ever described a turkey sandwich as dreamy? You will now, once you try the turkey sandwich from Radio Bakery, which comes with the freshest tasting pesto and marinated kale on fluffy focaccia. While you're there, try literally whatever else they have available. You can't go wrong. The line is long but it moves quickly and is totally worth it. read more

wow okay, so let me start by saying that i'm not really a pastry person. i don't have it often in my day to day, which is why when i am feeling a pastry in my once a quarter-ish cadence, i want to try the one that people wait in lines for, with the fun flavors. since it doesn't happen often, i was prepared to wait 30-45 min today on a saturday morning. i got there around 9:10am, and was pleasantly surprised to be in line, ordered and out with my pastries in under 20 minutes. which means i missed the brown butter corn cake and sausage and chives focaccia that i was aiming for, but i substituted by ordering the onion soup croissant and the everything focaccia with scallion cream cheese, as well as a rhubarb and custard croissant. it came out to ~$22. there was a small ledge for 2 inside, and two 2-seater tables outside, and i sat and enjoyed the focaccia first - chewy, light, ample on the cream cheese - yum - def worth the $7. the onion soup croissant was also sooo good - sweet, soft onion, laminated, crunch but also soft, chewy, light. i'm unfamiliar with rhubarb, but read it was tart, and i wanted to try, but this was my least favorite - the custard is good and vanilla-y, but i didn't like the beet-like flavor of the rhubarb. the croissant was still good, of course. would recommend, and come back and try other things...probably in another quarter. read more

Loved the Peach and cream croissant along with the open faced tomato croissant. The line moved quickly to order, select and pay. The staff were diligent, knowledgeable, and friendly. read more

Radio Bakery is clean and well-organized, but be prepared to wait--the line often stretches around the corner, which speaks to its popularity. I visited today and was impressed by how quick and friendly the service was, even with the crowd. I tried the blackberry goat cheese cream cheese pastry, and it was absolutely amazing--the pastry was baked perfectly and the flavor combination was spot on. The tuna sandwich was also wonderful--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I was most excited to try the everything topping focaccia with smoked salmon cream cheese, pickled fennel, and dill. It was good, but not quite the wow moment I hoped for--solid, but I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. My friend ordered the cinnamon bun made with croissant dough, and I personally didn't enjoy it. That said, I would definitely go back. There's clearly a lot of talent behind the food, and I'm looking forward to trying more. read more

I'm.... Confused. Why is there a line around the block when you can get most of these items or some variation at 5+ other bakeries in walking distance & Why did the line take ONE HOUR to go 50' - oh because they move SO slow inside. The sandwich - good. The cookie - good. Would I wait again? Definitely not. It's nothing ground breaking. I don't get the hype at all.... read more

Love Radio Bakery!!! Was so excited to try their pumpkin donut, I drove from NJ to get there early. Apparently not early enough. They were sold out 45 minutes after they opened. I don't like constant selling tactic used to entice people to come to their store. Once you are there, waiting on the line, you have no choice but to buy something else. I don't understand why they don't bake at least enough to hold up for 3-4 hours. This way it is actually a special DAY bake good! Also, they would have more satisfied and loyal customers. They would be seen as a honest baker and not using their loyal fan base for profit. But I got it and they are the smart ones, yes siree. I hope they take this comment to heart. I would like to continue to be a loyal patron but I am unsure after this. read more

The tomato focaccia, the turkey kale sandwich, the apple tart...the breads and pastry are absolutely top notch, no notes.

It's a good bakery, not great, but this one is apparently winning the instagram wars. If you want a great bakery, you're probably not coming here. If you want to say that you've come here, on the other hand, then you will probably be coming here. read more

By far the most excellent, decadent bakery by far. No comparison. Every item is beautiful and delicious. The staff is friendly and happy to see you. The storefront is cool, especially love the new sign. A MUST. read more

OMG--hands down the best bakery I've ever visited! I tried a bit of everything, both sweet and savory, and every bite was pure perfection. The coffee was incredible, and I was delighted to find vanilla bean simple syrup on the side so you can add it yourself--a rare touch I've never seen before. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or lunch, they've got it all. The line may stretch down the block, but it moves quickly. Get there before they sell out--you won't regret it! read more

We bought a variety of pastries. The stand-out ones were the pistachio croissant and cinnamon bun. The wait wasn't too bad - about 30min on a Sat late morning read more

The line should be enough to tell you that this place knows what they're doing. I was thrilled to have a fun new spot open in the neighborhood, and across a couple trips my family and I have tried just about everything they sell. The everything focaccia is the highlight for me, would especially recommend the smoked salmon sandwich they serve on it. For baked goods, I would go savory over sweet, that seems to be their forte. The cheesy pretzel bear claw and scallion sesame twist were both great. I was disappointed by the chocolate croissants and the matcha mango bun. The rhubarb tart was good too. It's pricy and hipster but you can feel the passion in the food read more
