ByClio Bakery

"By Clio is one of the many bakeries born out of pandemic baking. Clio Goodman opened her first dessert shop, Puddin’, over a decade ago in the East Village, but started baking in her apartment and selling cakes and other treats at pop-ups before opening her storefront in Gowanus in 2022. The case is stocked with a wide array of flavors, with many more unique flavor combos than you’ll typically see, such as chocolate-apple shoyu, sumac-strawberry labneh, and pistachio, mango, and saffron. For something more classic, the mocha cake is a must — one of those cakes you know you won’t be able to stop eating. Do not miss the Thai tea passionfruit cake if you see it in the display, too." - Mike Chau

"Clio Goodman is back a decade later after opening (then closing) her East Village bakery Puddin’. She’s turning her attention to cakes — an extension of the pop-ups she’s held over the past year — with a bakery headquarters now in Gowanus. Cake slices include cherry tahini, carrot ginger, and coconut rose." - Eater Staff, Melissa McCart

"ByClio Bakery offers stunning celebration cakes adorned with flowers." - Juliet Izon

"The calculation for whether stay open may have been different for newer businesses trying to get their foot off the ground; Clio Goodman of bakery By Clio, for example, shared on Instagram that her whole team made the decision to stay open today." - Emma Orlow

"Goodman’s cake shop will have its own storefront in a former design studio at 400 Third Avenue, near Sixth Street, in Gowanus on track to open around the New Year." - Charlotte Druckman
