Baked

...Welcome to my wedding cake. Asked for woodsy whimsical...so this was...a cool surprise. Damage done, wedding done lol. Ugh such a disappointment. Look elsewhere.

Did a tasting of 12 of their cupcake flavors in advance of our wedding and loved them all. I’d highly recommend the pistachio.

Average coffee, tried the veg quiche on one occasion and on 3 other occasions tried their red velvet cupcake, brownie and I think salted caramel moon pie ...plus lemonade. The desserts were pretty average with the exception of the moonpie which was original and better than average. Lemonade was more impressive than the coffee. Every item was on the pricey side. Lines are long and move slow and although there's a good amount of seating it seems the " regular cliques" meet there and stay for well over an hour taking the most convenient seats and wall outlets as their party grows from one table to 2 or more. Impossible to get the comfy window seats every time I've been there due to regulars meeting and lingering endlessly to "catch up" and hang out long after their coffee is gone. Be prepared to take your order to go on the weekend.

finally, i was able to make my pilgrimage to baked. i have been making recipes from the cookbooks for years and i have been dying to eat "the real thing," and they didn't disappoint. the pistachio cake was light and airy and delicious, the coconut cupcake was the perfect amount of richness, and the special apricot jam-earl grey cookie was amazing! the bakery itself is casual, hipster cool and worth the trip to red hook.

Food: LOVE LOVE LOVE. I had one of the peanut butter brownies and my god were the one of the best things I've had in a long time. They were simply amazing and to die for.

Ambiance: Its a nice little bakery with a decent seating area. Nothing all that but then again it is a bakery.

Cost: Very reasonably priced. I forgot how much the bill came out to but I think it was average price..

Would I go back: YES! I think I would probably drive to Red Hook just for them again.

Your mouth will start melting as you soon as you open the door. It smells as delicious as it tastes. The pent butter brownie is a must, but is also a bomb! very concentrated in fat and taste, you will feel satisfy for the rest of the day. That being said, try it! My fave was the butter pecan cake. The place is very relaxed and you can share stable with nice redhookers.

Probably the go to bakery in red hook as they make great cupcakes and cookies. Go for their caramel or red velvet cupcakes. Super moist and a buttery creamy icing. Eat them on premise though as they don't hold up outside and especially in the heat. You'll find your icing running off the cake. A great double chocolate chip cookie as well. A bit on the more crunchy side since i do prefer my cookies moist. Great place for a snack.

We ordered the special strawberry cake in advance, and it was decadent and delicious. Perfect for a birthday. Nice spot for a spontaneous treat and a coffee, too.

They make really, really good brownies and all sorts of pastries, pies, and cakes. It's great place to together with friends, have teas and coffees and eat lots of baked goods.

Update: lemon squares with coconut crust = YUM!!!

Beautiful cake, perfect for my friend’s birthday. They were pleasant and flexible to accommodate a special request. Look forward to trying more of their baked goods!!!
