50 Best Bakeries near Howard Beach

“How have i never popped in here?!?? I am now and forever a regular!!! Couldn't decide on what to get, the choices were endless. The cakes are beautifully decorated and all look scrumptious! Big ones, mini ones, slices but I decided on a mini raspberry chocolate mouse cake and a walkin snack of coffee cake. I told my man Sebastian it was my first time in and he'd see me again, he hooked me up with some little tasty cookies (i forgot the name of) but YUM! If you're headed to a party or gathering or really just celebrating making it through a Tuesday, this is your spot! After a stop at new park for pizza it's the perfect dessert spot with Coffee bar and seating!!“

“On our way home we stopped by this store to get some desserts & they didn't disappoint us! All of their items were very tasty and the staff was nice and professional. Give them a shot if you're around the area and want some snacks!“

“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“I visited on a Sunday morning before 9am. There were people lining up to the entrance, but I was able to order in about 10 minutes. I ordered a bagel with scallion cream cheese ($5.99), but most of the people ordered the cream cheese in a cup and added it themselves. Highly recommended for the taste, price, and atmosphere.“

“Did takeout on Saturday. The food was ready on time.The mixed berry scone was a bit too sweet in my opinion, as the additional sugar crystals on top are too much. I prefer a more traditional old fashion scone which isn't as sweetened (personal preference).The grilled chicken sandwich was filling and well presented. Flavorful according to my friend who ordered.The country breakfast was big and extremely filling. The biscuit came separate when doing takeout, with its jam and butter. I ordered the eggs scrambled and they were very good and not too salty, which provided a good balance with the slice of ham, which is. The texture of the eggs were nice. Felt like a true southern brunch.Overall very satisfied and the staff was friendly during pickup. I definitely want to go back and try the chocolate scone and some of their pastry items.“

“I was in a pinch and didn’t think I’d be able to order a cake last minute but Venerio’s came through and even provided delivery. I’ve ordered from there several times and have never been disappointed. The cakes are fresh and delicious. The cannolis are outstanding. The service is just a good.“

“So amazing and dont discouraged with the line“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“Ama is AMAZING. I've had so many coffees around New York and this is hands down the best. Ama always has a smile on her face and is the kindest(and most talented) barista I've ever met. 10/10 if you need an amazing coffee and a smile this is the place.“

“I'll give 4 stars, just because there's no control over who's taking the tables outside. I noticed some people just on their laptops without ordering anything and was annoying wait to sit with our food ready.Now, onto the good stuff: we indulged in a variety of coffees, pastries, and, oh my, the sandwiches were wonderful! This is definitely a go-to place, deserving of its positive reviews. The service was excellent, and they were impressively fast. A great spot for a quick bite or a relaxing coffee break.“

“I normally recommend this bakery to everyone. However, yesterday morning I went to your Brooklyn location to bring home bombalones for family. This morning the strawberry on top on one is literally covered in mold. This is absolutely unacceptable! Unfortunately I'm already back out of state so I can't even come back to get an exchange. I spent around $75 yesterday.... and I get MOLDY food.“

“small coffee shop with really great coffee, however there really isn't much space to sit. it's connected to a small lobby of some sort next door with a few benches. But if you were looking for takeout coffee then I definitely recommend the place. I got an iced oat latte and it was super smooth and creamy. The matcha taro latte was also really good, also very pretty. I also tried out their pastel de nata which was pretty ok, I think there are better ones but it hits the spot“

“Can a slice of cake be life changing? I'm literally in the middle of eating a slice of their strawberry sumac cake and I'm definitely feeling that way. It's so dense and moist but still also fluffy and refreshing? The flavor is deep and complex but still accessible and it has a rich level of sweetness without being cloying. It's a slice of cake that can't be consumed mindlessly - it stops you in your tracks when you take a bite because it's THAT good. I'm being long-winded but as someone who has eaten more cake than advisable in their lifetime, I am grateful to have ByClio in my neighborhood as a place that not only delights but excites with every new flavor offered. Also they have excellent coffee!“

“I bought a sandwich and some canele in ubereats. They gave me a written note for the missing canele(since they ran out of it), tell me to refund, and even added other pastries in bag for compensation…never seen a better service in my whole life, most importantly everything tasted AMAZING!!They had just earn themselves a new costumer, this made my day, thank you so much.“

“Pastries by Anne is one of our favorite shops in the neighborhood. You can count on Anne to always greet you with a smile and to have unique and inventive flavors available. I’m a huge fan of both the Thai iced tea cake and the Triple C. She’s also made cakes for our celebrations, which our guests devoured. We are so lucky to live close to such an incredible pastry shop and Anne herself is the absolute best!“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“Had an unforgettable date night at Farm to People! We indulged in their burger and fries - easily one of the top best in NYC. The Brussel sprouts? Crispy perfection. And the gnocchi? Simply incredible. If you haven’t treated yourself to this spot yet, you’re missing out. It’s a must-visit!“

“Amazing freshly baked cookies“

“Sandwiches are expensive here!! Around $17 so be prepared. The bread is phenomenal though.The triple chocolate croissant is delicious - very flaky and not too dry. Would recommend. The pistachio croissant was a tad too dry and wasn’t standout.“

“Wow! This is a little hidden gem. This is probably the best coffee I've ever had in NYC. Doesn't taste burnt at all like most other places and it has a nutty aftertaste. Really delicious - doesn't even need syrup flavors. The chocolate chip cookie is divine and tastes homemade! I'm so happy I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall. It's tiny inside but there are a few tables / stool seats by the window. It's a great spot to bring a book and people watch. They have a bunch of other pastries that look delicious as well and I'm excited to try them all! This spot is just steps from the L train at Grand St. Don't miss it! Super friendly service, quick, and delicious. What else could you need?“

“Best cookies I've ever had! Since they are so busy there's a good chance you'd get freshly baked, still slightly warm (the best?), crispy on the outside and melted chocolate pooling in the centre type of cookies. Definitely living up to their fame.Highly recommend chocolate walnut cookies:)“

“Really great sourdough baguette, I'm still thinking about it! I got the tahini spread and it went well with the baguette. My friend got the Mediterranean quiche which was vegetarian and had zucchini, feta, tomato, and onions. She loved it! They are very sweet even though we can in and out 30 mins before closing and they didn't have many other customers. It's a warm homely space and smells delicious!“

“Delicious Food. Friendly People Fresh Fresh“

“Lovely, compact Scandi bakery with a small market in the back with selection of Haribo licorice and more.We ordered the sausage breakfast sandwich, cardamom bun, and salmon focaccia. When I come back, I’m definitely going to order the breakfast sandwich with a perfect brioche bun and thick multi-herb green aioli/sauce as the bottom layer! This was the most memorable of the items. Salmon was generously applied to the focaccia along with thick chive cream cheese, but the flavor combination wasn’t quite as unique in the lox bagel capital of the world.The cardamom bun could benefit from, well, more cardamom. And I fully admit that I’m not being quite fair on this front after having tasted the cardamom buns at Juno Bakery in Copenhagen, which are laced with so much freshly ground cardamom throughout that the scent fills the surrounding neighborhood. If you’ve tasted these buns, Smor’s will underwhelm you, but they are definitely one of the best in NYC.“

“Russ & Daughters is a busy and popular Jewish deli style location that has many fishes, bagels, and other deli goodies to take home. They have a famous "black and white" cookie that you can take with you. If you're coming in for just a baked good and not the fish options, you can normally talk to the guys behind the counter directly instead of taking a ticket and waiting in the usually long lines. They also have a cafe a couple blocks away in case you want to try their fares in a sit-down restaurant.“

“I went this place after work and hit the spot. We had a delicious hot chocolate like I have not tried anywhere else, super tasty and delicious.m, it doesn’t need more sugar. The maple cruller was delicious but the passion fruit was exotic delicious and unique ! The staff very friendly they make you feel at home ! I loved the place and I will definitely go back!“

“I just love this place so much. The staff are always so warm and happy. The coffee is great. The croissants are so good. The chocolate croissants actually have gooey chocolate, not an unmelted chocolate log inside. The chocolate chip cookie is the best in the city. Yes. I said it. The other pastries are also great. I will say, the babkas are good but much too sweat for me. I only wish they have a few more seats inside.“

“Not only was the food good, but the woman behind the counter was so kind explaining the differences between different pastries to us. Despite NYC having nearly limitless options for breakfast pastries, we will make it a point to return to Unregular on our next visit“

“Great lattes and breakfasts that I dream about. Wish they were open longer.“

“Good not great. We came without a reservation and were kindly seated at the bar. Our server was quick, kind and paced our food order perfectly.We had the Ricotta – made the traditional way but I personally didn’t find it very tasty and the olive oil wasn’t great quality. We then had the spaghetti which was my favorite and finally the chicken which was good but not to die for.Great little spot for a nice dinner but nothing to go crazy about.“

“What a treat this place is! I was working a gig in the area for 5 days and I came here every morning!! I got the ham and cheese croissant the first day and I was hooked. MAN, is that thing GOOD!!! So yummy. I also tried the egg sandwich on focaccia, which was delicious. And I tried two of their cookies, I very highly recommend the triple chocolate. *chefs kiss*. I bought half a loaf of sourdough to take home as well.The only item I had that I didn't care for was the orange cream brioche. Everything else was a winner!“

“Highest recommendation ever. Ordered for thanksgiving- delivered to my door. The most delicious apple tarte narmande ( sp?j so much better than a plain apple pie. And pain du chocolate . (Croissant w chocolate. for the morning.) please excuse bad French names for these delicious pastries. Getting ready to order my Christmas deliciousness.“

“Awesome and delicious food“

“Nikola was amazing. Atmosphere and cocktails out of this world.“

“I just had the best tuna melt panini and Cipriani beverage at Brooklyn Hero Shop. Customer service and conversation is amazing. Sandwich was so tasty #brunch was amazingVegetarian options: There are vegetarian options availableDietary restrictions: There is an option for Dietary restrictionsKid-friendliness: There is accessibility for strollersWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp as well window service available at this location.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“I was cast under the spell of consumerism and got the $15 cookie tin.As for the cookies themselves they are pretty good, a little on the sweet side and a touch overpriced. But when in New York, one must try Levain Bakery. Service was very friendly and fast, interior was quaint and perfect for your social media photoshoots. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again but who am I to turn down a warm chocolate chip cookie?“

“We had ordered a baby shower cake. The base was a Jaffa cake with butter cream frosting. The cake was fantastic in the way it looked and the taste. The service was excellent. Ms. Marie is a talented artist. Would highly recommend this place!“

“Very nice and authentic place Very well recommended“

“Mojo, the best Belgian mousse in New York! Very nice atmosphere over there!“

“Excellent donuts yummy. Best donuts I ever tasted!!“

“These are the BEST cookies I’ve ever had in Manhattan! I would dare to say they’re even better than Levain. The red velvet cookie and the salted caramel cookie art *chefs kiss* my favorites! I had to visit again to try their iced coffees and the Salted caramel latte was delicious! I would definitely recommend to try and these will be my go-to desserts for friends reunions!“

“A well desserved reputation of world's most famous cookies. We had the double chocolate chips, the walzenut & chocolate chips and the caramel coconut & chocolate chips. All the cookies were delicious with massive chocolate chips, crispy edge and very tender heart ! Be aware that the caramel coconut one contains grated coconut (which may not fit the tastes of everyone) but the caramel coconut heart is absolutely yummy.“

“უგემრიელესი და უსაყვარლესი გარემო ✅❤️“

“They have it! Awesome, friendly, hospitable, delicious delights for all palettes. This hidden gem is by far one of the best kept secrets of el Barrio. I’m coming Back!“

“We found you on our trip to Brooklyn in March and we are still dreaming about the amazing turmeric oatmeal breakfast - so great that we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge the following day for another portion! Great service, great staff, we will be back and we will be telling all our friends to come too!“

“It gets packed here so be prepared to wait a while, however it is so worth it. The bagels themselves are fresh and delicious, and all the different items and toppings are great. Only their coffee is mid but you can get that from elsewhere if you're just looking to get a breakfast here.“

“I love the selection of goods here for offer. Particularly the croissants and chouquettes. But I find some of the staff off putting when I don’t tip at the end of a transaction. Like when stopping in for a baguette. I mean I ask for one, they literally turn around to get it and hand it to me and expect a tip for this service? How about the owners pay their staff a better wage and eliminate the tip?“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“

“I love the concept of this place!!Their offerings are a mash up French baked goods and desserts x Filipino twist. My family has loved their cheesecake and I’ve appreciated the flakiness of their croissants, would love some greens to go on their breakfast sandwiches tho. Please drop and pay a visit! Tucked away near the little neck LIRR station, they have a few spots for parking.“
