Pasticceria Monteleone BK

This is a wonderful Italian Bakery with a very wide selection of pastries and cakes. They are beautifully displayed and not only beautifully displayed but look incredibly done with such detail in each one. We tried quite a few pastries and cookies. My favorite one was the chocolate-covered cannoli. My granddaughter loved the coconut mousse individual cake. We also had the individual chocolate mousse cake and the chocolate lava cake. The mousse cake was another favorite. I felt the lava cake was not really sweet enough and a little bit dry. I also got the hazelnut cookie which is delicious. I haven't tried the Fig bar with another customer recommended to me as her favorite and I haven't tried the rainbow cake yet. Oh, I also had a mini hamantaschen which was excellent. Looking forward to trying more things next time I'm in the area. Additionally, the people there were very helpful and patient while we asked what things were and chose our selections. Thank you to them.

Nice-looking pastry shop with a large and visually appealing display everything looks fresh and tempting. Overall, it’s a good place with a pleasant atmosphere, but it simply didn’t stand out to me or leave a strong impression. The taste was fine, just nothing particularly memorable. I paid 25$ for 4 pastries, which feels reasonable for the quality and location. A solid spot worth trying, even if it wasn’t especially memorable for me.

Absolutely love this Italian bakery! You can truly feel that it’s family-owned—the service is warm, welcoming, and they treat you like one of their own. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, from the pastries to the desserts. You can taste the love and quality in every bite. Definitely a hidden gem and my new go-to bakery!

Trusted this bakery with a very special order, my grandmothers 90th birthday cake and they did not disappoint. The cake was fresh, moist, and flavorful, the cannoli and fresh strawberry filling was amazing. I’ve brought pastries from here in the past but this is the first time using them for a custom cake but it will not be the last. The staff were all great as well.

Just went for my cakes, panettone and cookies for Christmas Eve and day. Everything was fresh and absolutely amazing as always. I even ate some cookies while I waited in line because everything looked so fresh. This is a must go to Pastry shop!

If you’re on the hunt for authentic Italian pastries in Brooklyn, Pasticceria Monteleone is a must-visit. This family-owned bakery offers an impressive selection of traditional treats that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. During our visit, we couldn’t resist trying their lobster tails, cannelloni, and a delightful small pastry reminiscent of the lobster tail. Each item was freshly made, bursting with flavor, and clearly crafted with care. The bakery’s extensive variety makes choosing just a few items a delightful challenge. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Italian pastries or new to these delights, Pasticceria Monteleone offers an experience worth savoring.

If there’s a pastry you’re looking for, this bakery will have it! They had so many different varieties of pastries and desserts, each one more intricate and detailed than the last. The vibes are so positive and wholesome all around

This is by far my favorite bakery and pastry shop in all the surrounding neighborhoods—Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. I discovered this place over six years ago and have tried everything from their tiramisu and chocolate pudding cake to cheesecakes and tarts. They never disappoint—everything is consistently delicious. There’s a reason there are always lines on special occasions like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It’s absolutely worth the wait.
