"Where Martha’s Country Bakery excels is accessibility: It has several locations and a breadth of classic options that come in handy when you’re in a pie-related pinch. Flavors include blueberry, cherry, and Mississippi mud pie." - Eater Staff
"If you’re in Forest Hills, Astoria, Williamsburg, or Bayside, you probably already rely on Martha’s Country Bakery for cheesecake and gelato. You can also rely on them to make you a sour cream apple pie so your oven doesn’t have to work so hard." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus, molly fitzpatrick
"Maybe you’ve been scanning this guide for the word CHEESECAKE. Well, here it is again: CHEESECAKE. Martha’s Country Bakery has ten varieties available for takeout and delivery (as well as a ton of other different cakes, cookies, and pastries). You can call their Bayside, Astoria, and Forest Hills locations to place your order for pick-up or delivery, and order from their Williamsburg location online here." - hannah albertine
"We’re not aware of any official rankings, but if an award were given out for the best people-watching corner in Brooklyn, North 5th and Bedford in Williamsburg would be a strong contender. That’s where you’ll find this all-day cafe, with outdoor seating right on Bedford offered every day from 8:30am-9pm (11pm on weekends)." - matt tervooren
"The menu at Martha’s Country Bakery has more than 10 types of cheesecake, as well as different sections for “large cookies” and “large chewy cookies.” In other words, whatever type of snack you’re in the mood for, it’s probably served at this big Williamsburg bakery. It’s open from 6am until midnight or later everyday, so keep it in mind for coffee and a pastry on your way to the L train or late-night dessert. photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Matt Tervooren
