Serious EatsNovember 1, 2011The perfect balance of virtuous and delicious. Most of the muffins have sparing sugar tops and soft fruit cores—you won't find fruit studded evenly all the way through, but hiding in a gooey center. Read more
It's hard to go wrong here. I usually get a latte with a pumpkin apple walnut muffin. Getting one of the muffins right out of the oven is life changing.
Their hot chocolate is so rich and delicious! If you're lactose-intolerant (like me) you'll appreciate that they don't use super sweet soy milk and overload you...gives the drink a nice balance.
John ClineJuly 20, 2020They may be known for their muffins, but the cinnamon roll is also worth trying out. You can get it with a lemon frosting that is *chef's kiss*
#ultrafactsAugust 19, 2012Ask for a half-dozen muffins. When you are given your order, tell them you want to try out for the muffin muncher competition that takes place every third Sunday. It's a real blast!
Best muffins in Brooklyn. And the staff is extremely friendly- it's mandatory that you visit if you're in park slope.
Everything is wonderful but especially the muffins. If you can get them hot out of the oven even better.
The muffins are the best I’ve ever had. Slammed full of fruit
David BlackmanApril 1, 2014Go for the muffins with pumpkin, carrot, zucchini, banana, walnuts. Skip the ones with a cakey base batter. Love these muffins.
Pelin Güvenç KefelMarch 22, 2016They pastries are incredible! Try to get there in the morning while everything is fresh 😊
My favorite muffins; try all of the fruit combos, you won't regret any decision.
Fresh baked muffins and delicious coffee. Try anything pumpkin or chocolate chip. Or both!
I religiously go to Blue Sky for coffee every weekend. Hot or iced, it is all delicious.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 14, 2011"A thin coat of sugar brushed atop each blueberry muffin ($2.25) glistens just slightly on a sunny morning, and when your teeth penetrate the surface, they’re met with a confident crunch." Read more
The soft cheese danish is just as heavenly as it sounds! :)
- Muffins are amazing. Owner and staff are very friendly.
SpoonMarch 12, 2017Why is this listed in your article of the 15 best places in Brooklyn for Purne Danish??? When I asked for it the guy seemed offended and said "We don't use prunes in here!"- Samantha PaniaguaFebruary 16, 2015The hot chocolate was pretty good. The blueberry mandarin muffin was delicious!
The Corcoran GroupDecember 14, 2010Get here early for warm freshly baked muffins and a cup of sweet hot cocoa.
Try anything baked! Home base for their pastries that are sold throughout the city. Check the map at the counter!
If I could marry baked goods, I'd commit polygamy with their muffins.
This spot closes early, at like 1 p.m. So? Get there super-early because the baked goods are tenderoni, they have homemade dog treats, and the coffee is strong.
CrowdscoreOctober 1, 2011Must have muffins at this local Brooklyn joint. Look for George, he is always cooking up new ideas.
Jennifer DanielDecember 11, 2011Stop over thinking what muffin to get and order a slice of chocolate-chip banana bread. If you're getting it to-go get a coffee elsewhere otherwise order an espresso drink.- Marie FreiAugust 4, 2015I always ask which muffins just came out to get them while they're still warm
If you see anything with chocolate chip or pumpkin, don't even think twice!
Some of the friendliest people work there. The owner eric is the man!!! Delicious!!!!!!
Try the Wild Blueberry Muffin - Hot out o the oven, amazing- The baked goods are out this world. Banana chocolate chip muffin!!!
Chelsea RenaudMay 9, 2016Muffins: These things are unbelievably good, stuffed with amazing fruits, and never too sugary or sweet. Get there early - they close at 2pm and the best muffins sell out by late morning.
Justin RaczakAugust 10, 2011You can't choose a wrong muffin and the espresso is wonderful. Read more
look for the trays with the muffins, they might still be warm!

"Perfect food for a snowy night. The beef stew on a cold day is perfect. The chicken and cous cous is a no-brainer, although I wish they were served in a tagine together"
