Birdee

A lovely bakery/cafe in Williamsburg with beautiful interior design and lighting. They got many great bakery options. We got the Pistachio Cherry Sundae with Amarena Cherries and Kataifi and loved it. The sundae felt a bit pricey for such a small cup, but the presentation, textures, and flavor combinations made it worth it. I wish I could say great things about stuff as well…

Birdee is such a lovely addition to Williamsburg! Beautiful interior with lots of attention to detail and plenty of space to chill, chat, and work. The pastries were so delicious, especially the Boston Cream Croissant and Garlic Knot Pretzel — the perfect sweet and savory combo! Service and hospitality was also incredible, and the general manager, John, was so kind and attentive. Would definitely come again and highly recommend :-)

This place is well designed, a lot of attention to details, materials, and nice plants. If you care only about the setting, this is your place. However,if you're looking for amazing pastries you might be leaving disappointed. By the time I reached the counter, there were a lot of empty trays so my selection was primarily based on what non-savory was left available. The food looked great, but almost everything i tried was underwhelming. - The fruit tart cream tasted good, but the shell was way too dry making it unmanageable to eat. - The pain au chocolate was way too dry and with no flavor, this was one of the strangest I ever tried. - The olive oil cake was very good but the portion was ridiculously small. Lastly, the dog situation was very annoying. I understand that it's not easy to manage, but the amount of animals was way too much for a food establishment (this at 8:30 AM on a Saturday morning). Dogs aside it was ok, but I don't think I'll be back any time soon.

Loved the pastries…the ones left. Ok it was the opening day but being there at 9:30 am and waited 10 minutes for a Latte and a black coffee and being able to choose only between two types of pastry…a bit disappointing. Update: still disappointed. No carriers for coffees as they put them in a bag but no bags for the pastries box.

Sharing my honest review of the pastries from this hottest new bakery in Williamsburg: Located in the historic Refinery Domino, Birdee is an artisanal, upscale bakery and all-day café with a spacious, well-designed dining area. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find a table even on the weekend. Led by Michelin-starred pastry chef Renata Ameni, the pastries are meticulously crafted with a professional touch. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and attention to detail make them well worth it. ＊Lemon Meringue Croissant $10 *** Quite possibly the best lemon meringue pastry I’ve ever had. The croissant was filled with a zesty lemon curd and topped with a toasted swirl of meringue. The meringue was incredibly light and fluffy. ＊Pepperoni Pizza Croissant $8 ** This savory croissant was my second favorite. The lamination was flawless—neat, uniform, and beautiful. Each bite had an extra crispy crunch, and I appreciated how the pastry felt light and flaky without being greasy or overly buttery. ＊Garlic Knot Pretzel $8 They heated up the garlic knot for us and served it with a marinara dip. It was soft, warm, and had just the right amount of garlic. While it didn’t quite taste like a pretzel, it was a solid garlic knot overall. ＊Sun Gold Tomato Danish $12 We spotted a fresh batch of the daily special tomato danish, so we ran to the counter to grab one. However, it ended up being my least favorite pastry. The center was loaded with feta and possibly goat cheese (though it wasn’t listed on the label). I’m not a fan of goat cheese, and the overly creamy filling put me off after the first bite. At this price point, I was expecting something a bit lighter and more refreshing.

The ice cream had good texture and wasn’t too sweet and the salt flakes on top was a good balance! It’s just a bit pricey but need to checkout their other flavors

If you're in Williamsburg and craving a top-tier croissant, Birdee is your spot. This new bakery and all-day café, helmed by pastry chef Renata Ameni (formerly of Eleven Madison Park and Crown Shy), has quickly become a buzzworthy destination Food The croissants here are a standout—flaky, buttery, and executed to perfection. Whether you opt for the classic pain au chocolat or venture into inventive flavors like churro or pepperoni pizza, the lamination is spot-on, and the texture is delightfully crisp. On the other hand, the olive oil cake doesn't quite reach the same heights. While it's moist and subtly flavored, it lacks the memorable punch found in other offerings. It's pleasant but doesn't leave a lasting impression. Service Service at Birdee is friendly but can be a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. It's advisable to arrive early to secure your desired treats. Ambiance Located in the historic Domino Sugar Refinery, Birdee boasts a sleek, modern interior with ample natural light. The atmosphere is lively, often bustling with a mix of locals, food enthusiasts, and the occasional stroller brigade. Despite the buzz, the space maintains a welcoming vibe, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy your pastry and coffee. Takeaway Birdee delivers on its promise of exceptional croissants in a stylish setting. While the olive oil cake may not steal the show, the overall experience is satisfying. Just be prepared for potential crowds and the possibility of popular items selling out quickly. If you're a pastry aficionado, Birdee is definitely worth a visit.

Service was excellent and quick! Once I placed my order, everything came out really quick and the attention to detail was amazing. Staff was really patient and did a great job of explaining the menu and giving suggestions. We tried the chicken Caesar sandwich and whoaaaa! Best I’ve had in a long time. We also tried a cheddar goldfish that was CRACK. Definitely a must visit if you’re in the area and will definitely be going back.

Best new spot in the neighborhood. The pastries are insanely delicious - I haven't had one I didn't like! And I love the ambiance. Highly recommend!

Food, service and the staff are amazing!!!! The food and the vibe. Everything about the place feels good

Not only is the space absolutely gorgeous, but the pastries Chef Renata and her team are rolling out are outrageously good. No surprise, given her decades of experience, but every time I go back, there's something new in the case that blows me away. They're also doing ice cream sundaes all summer long, loosely inspired by her pastries and they're definitely a must-try!!

Every time I visit Birdee, I turn into a kid again. I always tell myself I'll try something new and today, I actually did. The Boston croissant. (But of course... I still got my iced matcha. Some habits aren't meant to break.) Only one left. Need I say more? The Boston Croissant is just one of many beloved treats at Birdee and for good reason. I genuinely can't put into words how much I love this place. The vibe is always on point, and the staff? Incredibly kind and welcoming. If you ever find yourself near Domino's, do yourself a favor and stop by Birdee. You won't regret it.

After hearing for many months about this all day bakery from a Michelin-starred pastry chef, I was super excited to try this place out. To start with, the space is super pretty, located in the new Domino refinery development. It's definitely a work friendly spot, with multiple people on laptops and free wifi available. On the food, maybe they were having a fluke day or we came too late (~1pm on a Saturday) for the better options, but it was a bit disappointing. We still enjoyed everything, but nothing stood out, and the two pastry items (pepperoni pizza croissant and the churro croissant) were missing any crispiness, lightness, and didn't have much flakiness. Overall, this place is a solid spot but unfortunately didn't meet my expectations. I wouldn't make plans to come back, given the ample amount of excellent bakeries in the city, but I wouldn't complain if a friend wanted to check it out either.

While I highly recommend getting one of everything, the churro and pepperoni pizza croissants are both 10/10 and will definitely keep me coming back! Bonus points for a spacious setup - plenty of seating and a separate line so you're not in anyone's way while ordering.

Birdee is in a prime location in Williamsburg for great coffee and nice pastries. My favorite thing on the menu is the Bacon Egg and Cheese. There are certain pastries better than others but the ambiance is nice. I went on a first date there and had a great time. They were out of forks so thankfully my date was cool enough to share one. Overall giving this place a 4 star on Yelp but would honestly give it a 3.75 if I could. I would be back if I was in the area.

Known for their churro croissant, that's what I had with cold brew from a coffee house in Bushwick. The churro is served on a warm plate, a unique feature. The croissant was fabulous! A delightful mixture of the layers of fine pasty, salt on top of the caramel dollop in the center. My taste buds had a hint of the Costco churros of decades ago with the fine sprinkling - like fairy dust - of sugar with the savory of the salt and caramel. Service was friendly and prompt. The shop was crowded, clearly a popular spot, yet few were using indoor voices due to the volume of the music. Tables outside allow one to sit along the street in a quieter space.

The chicken Caesar is the best sandwich I've ever had. And it's massive so you can defintiely share that and then save room for pastries. I'm in love with all the pastries. My favorites: Boston Cream Croissant - this is never something I'd reach for but the inside is so light and delicious and they dip in Churro croissant - delicious and unique. One of my favorite. Pistachio Cherry Milk Bread - incredible combo and I'm not even a big cherry fan The interior is beautiful. Dogs everywhere. The staff is so sweet. Obsessed with this place!

Cute new bakery at Domino park! It's both sit down and take-away. I just came for the pastries but will be back to try their other items. - Anchovy twist (4.5/5): delicious few bites. Ratio is a bit heavy on the cream cheese with only 3 anchovies but tasty nonetheless. - Garlic pretzel (4/5): pretty good overall, it came with tomato sauce which I couldn't take because they didn't have small takeaway containers for it. - classic croissant (4.5/5): delicious, not as good as Nick + sons but it's definitely up there. Prices were reasonable given what pastries cost in the area these days. Wish they had more vegetarian salty pastries but will be back to try more goodies!

I came here a few weeks ago when I was visiting Williamsburg, and I've been dreaming about the pastries ever since. No line (I went around 11am on a week day), so much seating and service was amazing! I'll definitely be back soon.

Nice ,clean , cooky cutter place . Good pastries , but nothing exciting Or extraordinare. Polite service . If you live out there ,at this soulless area Or happen to be around there , it's a fine stop. No reason for specific visit . Next .

Let's talk about Birdee and the Domino development! I think most people who live in the neighborhood are pretty taken with the park itself, especially during quieter weekdays, while knowing that the general complex, and ambitions of its real estate mavens, are being massively overdeveloped, and probably leading to some unnecessary rent hikes. Only a dozen or so people were ever seen at the (very cute) ice rink this past winter, and the retail offerings along the Kent Ave side mostly just include a nearly block-long high-end "weed and lifestyle store". It's attractive and female-founded, so let's give it a chance to thrive. While only the Refinery itself can tell you its current occupancy numbers, anyone on Grindr can confirm the new Equinox is well-populated. Enter Birdee, a new "all day café" - from some experienced team or other. Prices for some of their sandwiches (north of $24) would be shocking at the Polo Lounge. The coffee offerings are more manageable and are fine. A croissant I ordered tasted like any other croissant in Williamsburg (how much can you do there really?) while my tuna melt ($17) came on a sort of lukewarm thin round pastry and was a mass of conflicting tempertatures and textures, and didn't taste like much at all. I was confused. The service made me think of the kind vs. nice debate that perpetually rages about NYC vs. LA. They were nice, but not warm, both times I went. The space is the biggest draw, with pretty arched cathedral windows giving you great views of Kent Avenue's billboards. There is ample, comfortable seating and their Wi-Fi works. The space is nicely spread out, and it bleeds around a corner and into the lobby of the Refinery itself. Sadly, only one bathroom for all. Napkins, straws, water, etc. are placed in odd locations and strangely aren't brought to you by your server (you order at the counter, and you get a number which you place on your table), even if you order a small sandwich that costs more than some dinner entreés in fancy midtown restaurants. The music is the biggest indicator, besides the prices/food, that the operation isn't quite running on all cylinders yet: loud, blaring, beat-heavy EDM seems to be locked into a dance of death with those on laptops, and those having meetings, or simply in conversation with one another. The music seems to be asking, "just how good ARE your noise canceling headphones?" Customers come equipped. The crowd seems to be all-post-Equinox, wearing high end loungewear and expensive exercise garments. Not as many suits, Thank God. To its credit, Birdee is waaaaay more together than Pura Vida, Domino's Northernmost competition, in THAT whole under-occupied office complex past N 12th. PV struggled to make me a cold brew in under 25 minutes on my initial visit, and can take a long time to get food to you (it has since improved, and remains surprisingly popular). I like Birdee's layout, it has a nice location, and we're losing a lot of our cafés, so these new offerings remain necessary. Birdee is hardly "all-day" as it is closed some days and closes by 4 on the days it is open. But it is there. And hopefully it will get better.

Birdee is located in The Refinery at Domino, and is a new bakery and an all-day cafe from Chef Ameni. Their menu includes breakfast and lunch options, and coffee/teas/bottled beverages. We tried both their sweet and savory pastries; note that they also have a rotating menu. Service was friendly and welcoming! The space is cute, with the exposed brick and a good amount of seating. A big plus is that they're open every day! +sweet & savory pastries +friendly service

Birdee knows coffee and pastries! First, the cold brew was smooth and rich. Next, the almond-apricot croissant was yummy (although, a little undercooked on the inside). Would like to try more of their pastry selection, especially their croissant that got a shout-out in the NYTs!

Five stars all the way! Birdees is such a gem--everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The pasties were perfectly executed with beautifully flaky pastry and thoughtful, flavorful fillings. I loved the mix of sweet and savory options--it made it impossible to choose just one (so of course, I didn't!). You can really taste the care and craft in every bite. I can't wait to come back and try more.

super cute little bakery ! their bec and lemon merengue tarts are excellent and i love how close it is to domino park

Fantastic service, exceptional pastries, all in a beautiful building! Will be visiting again!

Picked up pastries early on a Friday! The line is usually insane on weekends so I'd try to get there early on a weekday to ensure you get a good selection. The chocolate dipped croissant filled with vanilla bean cream honestly changed my life lol- so good! Will be back to try more

It is beautiful inside and out, modern, dog friendly, and no junk food (thank you!) cafe. Idea of see-through kitchen is amazing too. Chef is nearby and always smiling, answering questions and just being so welcoming. Great spot. Everyone else is just jealous .

Every single pastry is absolutely delicious! My personal favorite is the Boston Cream Croissant. I also had one of the best beacon egg and cheeses sandwiches ever and make sure you get the hash brown! I love to come in for lunch and get the Chicken Caesar Sandwich. Such a great addition to the neighborhood!

Best of the best. Absolutely LOVED everything we got! Churro Croissant is outstanding, Tuna Melt was insanely good, ice cream was everything I dreamed of! Best in class, CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

Terrible. Overpriced items, way overpriced and the people behind the counter need some serious lessons in customer service. The place is also very bland.
