    Literally nothing better in the world than their Brooklyn Blackout Cake when in the need for chocolate (...and I usually dislike cake!). Go right before closing and everything is BOGO.

    Best salty chocolate chip cookies I ever had. Beware: no espresso-based drinks, only drip coffee but by stomptown. Also the smell is delicious.

    Order their Brooklyn blackout cupcake, blueberry cornflake muffin, babka bun, hot chocolate cookie, diamond pecan snickerdoodle cookie, pistachio agave cookie & shortbread! Order everything!!

    If shortbread is your thing, try the Stumptown Shorty. Dont like gluten? Then take a bite out of the nut cookies - pistachio is our favorite. #8 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York

    They have glasses and ceramic cups if you have time to sit and enjoy your coffee. A good amount of seating as well. Everything is delicious.

    Ovenly's cream-cheese-frosting-topped gingerbread cake is a melt-in-your-mouth combo of brown sugar, molasses and spice. And cutting a slice is way easier than dismantling a roof. Read more

    I was really excited about this place..had the Brooklyn blackout cake..and there went my excitement. Dry and the chocolate ganache was leaking taste. Say because it looked amazing!

    They serve Joe’s Coffee & have a decent selection of pastries daily. They sell snacks from Taos Bakes (in New Mexico).

    Love the pistachio cookie and savory scones. They upgraded their coffee (stumptown coffee and better trained staff), much better cappuccino then 1 year ago.

    Ginger molasses and peanut butter cookies are excellent. Serves Joe’s coffee which is great. Brooklyn Blackout Cake is also intense and great to share

    I could smell the baked goodness from 2 blocks down the street. Take it to go and enjoy in the WYNC park next door overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Olive oil pumpkin bread.

    Right by the waterfront park. The peanut butter cookies are crazy good and plenty of delicious gluten free pastries. No espresso based coffees.

    The best gluten-free bakery in NYC (and the best peanut butter cookie I've ever had). Chocolate truffle and pistachio agave are insanely rich.

    It's an adorable place with average baked goods and gorgeous light. Had the cupcake and while it was adorable and green that's all it was. Extremely dry with a butter cream that fell off in chunks. :(

    We dig their salted chocolate chip cookies and Old Salties. Bike there (bring your helmet in) and get 10% off your purchase, and 50% off coffee and tea if you show them your East River Ferry ticket.
