Bakery By Textbook Review - Bedford-Stuyvesant - New York - The Infatuation

"At Bakery By Textbook, you can name your price for sourdough, because the Bed-Stuy spot believes that fresh bread should be affordable for everyone. That bread leans slightly dry, but it’ll still be exponentially better than anything you tried to bake during the pandemic. If you live in the area, keep the bakery in mind if you need to pick up a loaf or swing by on a morning stroll for a bacon, egg, and cheese on homemade focaccia, or crunchy espresso toffee cookies. Nothing will blow you away—except the blended tahini cold brew that’s a spitting image of the one over at Edith’s in Williamsburg—but it’s still a solid destination for a lazy weekend morning. Perch on the big, stair-like seats, or take your treats to-go and continue brownstone daydreaming around Bed-Stuy. photo credit: Willa Moore" - Willa Moore

NYC’s New Restaurant Openings

"Bakery By Textbook in Bed-Stuy has a pay-what-you-want bread policy. Possibly to offset this noble business model, they are opening a cocktail bar in the basement soon. This is the bakery arm of Textbook Cafe in Fort Greene, and they’ll also be serving pastries, sandwiches and salads." - will hartman

I went to this cafe with a friend where I ordered an iced latte accompanied by a gluten-free brownie. The brownie was decadent and rich, definitely a highlight of the visit. However, the iced latte left something to be desired; it could have been more robust in flavor. My friend opted for a hot chocolate paired with a savory sandwich, and he thoroughly enjoyed both. The hot chocolate was creamy and indulgent, while the sandwich was fresh and satisfying, making for a delightful meal overall. They have a bathroom, wifi and its spacious with seating.

This coffee spot & café by day and speakeasy by night (weds-sat) is a beautiful addition to the neighborhood! Memorial Day weekend Mixmaster Jacob was serving up fresh frozen cocktails and they weee delish. The brownies are heavenly and enough to last all day. One of my favorite local haunts. Customer service is amazing!!!

So happy this spot opened in the neighborhood. I think I was overly excited and went a little crazy ordering, but so glad I did. The dips were AMAZING + come with a fluffy fresh baked pita. The olive oil cake was OUT of this world. Not pictured: the bacon, egg + cheese, which sold out early and everyone I was with LOVED. You really can’t go wrong. For drinks we ordered the frozen tahini cold brew, espresso lemonade, and hibiscus iced tea. All delicious and refreshing.

Very nice bakery. Very kind hardworking staff. My daughter had the margarita pizza it was very cheesy and fresh. I had the tahini iced coffee it was delicious. Perfect for a hot day. Also very strong coffee you can tell it was quality. Definitely recommend if your in bed stuy area you check these folks out.

I am always up for a good coffee at a local coffee shop. This place opened in my neighborhood and I was very excited to visit it. More amazed when I went in and they had my favorite coffee at the moment a lavender latte! The coffee was amazing! My friend had a drip coffee with milk and a bacon egg and cheese. Everything was very good! The aesthetics of the place it’s very particular and cool! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will become a spot to chat with friends and grab my coffee. The place has a nice sitting area outside so can bring your dogs!

Stopped in for their recent new Sunday BBQ series! The food and drinks were amazing and the vibes are high! I love everything they are doing for the neighborhood and the ways they are also giving back. I will continue to support because I love a business that cares about the people! See you soon!

Been here twice now and it's becoming a favorite local spot 🥰 from Thurs-Sun 6-12 there's pizza upstairs and cocktails at the speakeasy downstairs. Haven't checked out the bar yet, but the pizza is sooo good. Regular breads, baked sweets, and coffee are offered here too. Definitely recommend the frozen tahini cold brew. A cute clean cozy spot with lots of natural light and good service.

food- the croissant was good! I wished they were serving lunch when I was there- I really wanted to try their food, so I'll go back soon. coffee- delicious! and just the cutest cup. It made me want to take it home to junk journal. it was such a solid latte and a good caffeine boost. staff- SO KIND. everyone was so helpful and friendly. vibe- delightful. I brought my laptop and worked for maybe 2 hours, and everyone around me was kind, I was working at a table with like 4 other strangers and it was great. I want to be back and support this place.

I went during their soft launch and almost everything was sold out by the time I got there (my own fault--I'm not a morning person) but I did get my hands on some perfectly fluffy pita and a delightfully chewy toffee cookie! I've been following on Instagram while they built and painted and overcame some hurdles, and they seem super community-oriented. They had a "pay what you want" bread, they don't charge for non-dairy milks, and they ask for input from customers at every turn. Can't wait to try more of their delicacies and for understudy to open

Very cute cafe with great coffee, pastries and bread (vegan options too), service, and both indoor and outdoor seating. My running club ended our run here and they were very accommodating of our large group. Someone accidentally dropped their pastry and one of the staff members instantly gave her a new one! They were very kind to us. And love that they have a pay-what-you-can system for bread so everyone can access it. Definitely recommend!

Great vibes here! Love the interior design, the enticing baked goods (savory and sweet), and of course the coffee. Bonus points that they're considering offering decaf espresso.

What a quaint bakery shoppe! It's so cute inside with riser seating. Was feeling their Lavender Latte-cold, and tried their signature Tunisian Egg Salad sandwich made with their homemade Focaccia bread and sesame seeds. Eat it as is, like the Chef recommends and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and the bread was so fresh and soft. A friendly atmosphere and a lovely place to stop by in the neighborhood. Will definitely be back. Support your local businesses! The same business owners of @textbook.nyc have now opened their 2nd location @bakerybytextbook. Thank you @bakerybytextbook @textbook.nyc!!!
