Bay Ridge Bakery

I came here to purchase my son’s birthday cake because I wanted to try something new for once, and I was going off of the reviews online and the location looked beautiful with a huge variety. But sadly I ended up being very disappointed. I arrived 2 hours early to pick up my cake and it wasn’t ready, okay that was probably my fault. I returned at the agreed time and it didn’t even have the writing on it. It was like they forgot my order existed until the day of. The woman wrote on the cake in front of me, and I honestly wanted to cry. If I wasn’t in a rush for the birthday party I probably would’ve asked for a correction. The cake looked like it was decorated by my 3 year old. For 86$ I honestly expected a bit more.

Bay Ridge Bakery is honestly one of the best spots in the neighborhood. Everything is always fresh, well made, and consistently good, whether you’re stopping in for a quick pastry or ordering something for a special occasion. It’s the kind of bakery you trust because you know the quality will always be there. What really makes the place stand out, though, is the people. The girls working behind the counter are always friendly, patient, and welcoming, which makes every visit easy and pleasant. John and Peggy, the owners, are incredibly kind and genuinely care about their customers.

Call it a classic or a throwback but make sure to go there and decide for yourself! Great selection of Greek and Italian American pastries and other fantastic treats. We enjoyed pignoles, almond wedding cakes, cannolis and baklava. And they were all delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff so of course we bought more than planned. It was worth it to splurge on such great quality.

Offering a wide variety of freshly baked cookies, pastries and bread. My favorite is their cheesecake, but it must be consumed within a day or two of preparation as it ages quickly. Chocolate lovers will be disappointed as their brownies are good but often sold beyond their expiration point and their eclairs are not chocolatey enough. For holidays they usually have free samples by the cash register which I always find hard to resist. They use quality ingredients which is reflected in their pricing and are one of the best bakeries in Bay Ridge for non-chocolate items.

It's horrible to experience such bad customer service and a cold atmosphere but that's what I experienced here. I came in and wasn't greeted and made to f feel welcome. I made a purchase and it was still the same. Interesting! Won't go here agai. And to top it off, the rainbow cookies were horrible.
