The BAKERY on Bergen

My partner and I ordered a cake sampler of 5 mini cakes to celebrate our anniversary. Kim was so kind and professional over email, and she made setting up our order and delivery a breeze. We tried the following flavors: Brooklyn Blackout, Mexican Hot Chocolate, Hennessy Red Velvet, Mandarin Orange, and Chai Latte. They were all exceptional, but the standout was their slightly-spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate cake. We loved how you could taste the real butter in the icing and how none of the flavors were overly sweet. We will definitely be coming back here next time we need a cake for an event!

The bakery has a very cozy field to it. The owner is very welcoming and I got to try her vanilla Bourbon cake. I had to get the whole entire thing after that I highly recommend this place.

We stopped in close to closing time to grab a few cupcakes and were welcomed right in! The service was amazing and the owner was unbelievably kind! The cupcakes were perfect, but the peanut butter cookie blew my mind! Probably the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely be coming back for all our sweet treat needs!

This bakery is a gem! The service is so kind, and the place is cozy. I tried the vanilla rum cake and it was amazing. The texture was perfect. Is big enough to share. The chocolate cookie was soo good. Esta panadería es excelente! Prueban el Keke de vanilla con Ron!

One of the most incredible hidden gems of cupcakes in New York!! I randomly stumbled across this place while recovering from my foot surgery, not only was the owner super sweet and accommodating to my needs, the cupcakes were absolutely delicious!! you know you can tell when something is made with love and these cupcakes were just that!! with magnolia’s losing its shine and luster over the years, I can happily say I have found their life long replacement! Come to The BAKERY ON BERGEN you won’t be disappointed! Also the expresso was nice and strong and full of flavor!! I will be back!!

I wanted to write this review to give the Bakery on Bergen and the wonderful owner, Akim, her much deserved praise and flowers. Akim has been super accommodating with my requests for vegan, nut-free cakes and she knocks it out the park each time. My friends have dietary restrictions and severe nut allergies and they rave about the ube and thai iced tea flavored cakes. I ordered custom cakes twice this year and will be ordering again in the near future. Thank you so much Akim for being so professional, responsive, and creating wonderful allergen-friendly cakes. Just fab all around.

Amazing bakery in the neighborhood. I went to get a custom Mexican Chocolate cake for my partner’s birthday and it turned out fantastic! Kim I’m was so great to work with, asking about their flavor preferences, and had the cake ready at perfect time

Just had the best customer service experience, cookie AND cupcake of my life. The woman who owns this place is so kind, helpful, and really cares about her customers. I felt the love the moment I walked in. Also, holy cow!!! The baked goods are incredible!!!! I’m normally not a cupcake person but the banana cream with chocolate looked so tempting... just had to go for it and I’m extremely happy with my decision making. If you’re in the area or need desserts for a birthday, baby shower, whatever, this is your spot!!!!!

Location is cute. Cookie is good. Service was good. If you are a local, it seems like a great spot for a cupcake. Stumbled in here accidentally when looking for a coffee shop. It was very enjoyable.

Such a lovely bakery! I stopped in for some cupcakes for a friends birthday and was excited to see that they offered ube and green tea flavors. there was plenty of variety when i came by on a weekend. the vibe is super homey and the man i spoke with - i think his name was louis - was super friendly and so helpful! i ordered 4 cupcakes: chocolate, ube, red velvet, and green tea. the matcha was just ok but i loved the ube and red velvet cupcakes! I'd definitely come back when I'm in the neighborhood! Places like the bakery on bergen make me feel proud to be from brooklyn and excited to support small business!!

My daughter and I had the pleasure of visiting The Bakery on Bergen, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. Kim was incredibly warm and welcoming. She took the time to walk us through their offerings and made us feel right at home. The rum-soaked cake was rich, flavorful, and perfectly moist, and the red velvet Biscoff cupcakes were out of this world (just the right balance of sweetness and texture). You can tell everything is made with care and passion. Great service, incredible baked goods, and a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

It was a 10/10 experience!! I am new to the neighborhood and Kim treated me like family. The cupcakes were AMAZING and the bundt cakes were even better! I will definitely be back, this was the best bakery I've ever been to.

Wow! Amazing service, such a cute bakery and let me tell you-the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. So perfectly cooked and the salt on top just feels so right. I told the owner today I've been looking forward to these cookies all day long. Cannot recommend enough!!

I dont really like cupcakes but I was intrigued by the matcha and ube flavors. I tried them and they were pretty good! The buttercream is rich (surprisingly thick!) and the flavor of the matcha cream isn't strong, just about right. The cake itself is super moist which was delicious. I do think the cake to buttercream ratio was unbalanced and the price point for the size is pretty high so it's something I'd get every now and then to treat myself. I also tried it via Too Good to Go and cupcake tasted stale and hard, nothing like when I paid full price. It makes sense why the texture was off -whole point of too good to go is to consume food before it expires. I don't recommend getting it through Too Good to Go and, if you do, it won't be a good indicator of the quality. With that being said, this was the first time I've ever tried baked goods that were noticeably stale through that app -I get baked foods often and other places seem to give it away right before it goes stale. Overall recommend the matcha cupcake as a treat!

Picked up some cupcakes for a birthday last minute, and they were all super delicious, especially the ube cupcake, which might be my new favorite flavor. Excellent customer service and sweets!

Cute bakery with lovely owner and really good empanadas! Woman owned & POC owned. Look forward to checking it out again and trying the sweets.

Reached out to this bakery multiple times to order a pie for a holiday dinner. Sent emails, phone messages and not 1 response. Unacceptable

Bakery on Bergen is my go-to spot for all yummy treats in BK! My go-to's are strawberry, Funfetti, and vanilla cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting cupcakes. When I'm feeling cookie a vibe, the smore cookie is a whole vibe! Akim and her team are so welcoming that you might find yourself staying and hanging for a while.

I walked into this bakery after hours to pick up my order and was greeted by Louis. He did not seem annoyed nor did he rush me out, the vibe was very pleasant and homegrown like. The cookie was great and the cupcakes were even better. Louis even threw in an extra cupcake for me. Great overall experience, great service. This little shop in Brooklyn is a must visit in order to cure your sweet tooth.

I was so excited to visit this black own neighborhood bakery. I waited in line as the owner took orders. Once I notified her that I was her to pick up a To Good to go order the owner immediately became annoyed and was very rude and aggressive. I was appalled and taken aback because she was so warm and friendly to the customer in front of me. I felt very uncomfortable and the owner gave off a vibe that I did not belong at that establishment. I'm not sure if I caught her on a bad day or she directed her dissatisfaction with her partnership with To Good to Go on me but none the less her behavior was unwarranted. The owner should really work on her customer service skills. I will never patronize Bakery on Bergen again. To Good to Go app lovers BEWARE. You will get discount cookies but it comes with a side of attitude and aggression. Totally not worth it. Akim Vann, the owner of the bakery needs to do better. Her behavior was unacceptable and appalling.

I noticed this new bakery in the neighborhood a few years ago. I kept saying I needed to try it out, but I was committed to another bakery giving me all the extra sugar I don't need. One day I had a crazy cookie craving...it happens every so often. I didn't want cookies from the grocery store...but the just baked, right out the oven type cookie. The cookie that's big enough that you only need one, but your fat ass decided to have two... yeah that cookie. Anywho, I decided to walk in and hoped they had more than just cupcakes...and they did!!! First let's start with how cute the place is. The decor just screams hallmark movie cutesy bakery is the best way! It's not super big or small... it's cozy. When looking over the menu on the wall, which has cupcakes, cookies, and cakes, the woman behind the counter told me to sample their chocolate chip sea salt cookie. I don't liked to be ordered around, but when you say sample the cookie... I sample the cookie. Biggest mistake ever! I fell in love with a darn cookie!!! I know people do the chocolate sea salt combo on a lot of things, but this cookie was EVERYTHING!!! It had the right amount of sea salt, that it didn't overwhelm the chocolate part of the cookie. It was baked just right... the right sweet and salty combo. Soooo... I got two cookies. Darn that sample!

I came here on Saturday and I must say I really enjoyed it. I purchased the blueberry cupcake. The owner was very nice and patient because I had no idea what to purchase. I would definitely be back to try other items. The cupcake was fresh and had real blueberries. The butter cream had the perfect consistency. Overall I believe this place is great.

Very cute storefront tucked away on Bergen. I tried the matcha and the Biscoff cupcakes, as part of a grab bag with the Too Good To Go app. Though the cupcakes were pretty, I found the frosting to be surprisingly thick--even more so because there's so much of it in comparison to the cupcake. I did think the matcha frosting was tasty. Not too strong, not too subtle. I just wish it were a bit creamier. The matcha cake itself had a pleasant taste, but the consistency was tough and a bit stale. At $5 for three cupcakes in a grab bag, the value is good in comparison to their normal menu, but still somewhat pricy when considering the quality.

Get their pink lemonade- it was perfect! Also, support this black owned business. Loved their cupcakes - I got to try a few of their cupcakes and they were great. I even tried the Henny and vanilla ( I believe it was with vanilla, but I don't remember now) - it was actually quite food!

OMG this place is absolutely fabulous. withe the best Chocolate Chip cookies in Bklyn!!! I also bake so I'm always looking to try something that's made by the people for the people This shop is like an old fashioned bake shop with the owners baking and selling their wonderful products. mom not from this neighborhood but When I am I'll make this one of my stops.

I saw this bakery on Good Morning America and I had to visit the same day. The cookies and cupcakes are just delicious. The customer service is the best. I ordered a hot chocolate and the guy making it asked me to taste it to make sure it was to my liking. No one has ever asked my input while making me a drink. I will definitely be a regular customer and support this local small business. One of the best bakery in all of NY State.

Overpriced and unreliable. Posted hours say they're open but they're not- happens all the time. Don't bother going unless you call and confirm that they're actually open- but only if you want to pay way too much for something you could get anywhere else.

We wandered in here after seeing a sign for the smoked sea salt chocolate cookie. The second I walked in, I knew it would be good from the warm buttery smell that washed over us. The cookies were perfect - sweet, salty and indulgent, and the people who helped us were super friendly. Be forewarned: the price tag is a bit hefty: $10 for two cookies before tip or tax -- more than the price of a decadent Levain cookie! But that's probably the only thing that'll save us from wanting to eat these cookies every single day.

I really wanted to support this bakery and buy a cake - I really did! I was ready to give my hard earned cash to a POC AND woman-owned company, however, they never returned my emails or calls (and yes, I reached out multiple times). On Sunday, I fill out the their online request form for a cake I needed by Friday. No response. On Monday, I called. I knew they were closed, but figured they would return my call the next day. Nope. On Tuesday I called three times. First they answered, then immediately hung up, so I called right back. No response. I called two hours later, and once again, no response. Unfortunately I don't live in Brooklyn, and I don't have a car; stopping by during work hours isn't really an option. I gave up and went to another bakery instead ‍. Maybe next time??

I love Bakery on Bergen. The owners are so nice and kind and the cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc are delicious! I really think this one of the most slept on bakeries in nyc. I've also gotten their 2good2go a few times and it's generous and as usual the baked goods are amazing. They also serve great lattes and other beverages, so it's a great place to stop in for that. They have a small but cute sitting area both inside and outside, and a printer kiosk which is great for people who live nearby like me. All around, a great business!

Amazing cookies n cupcakes! Lots of options and delicious coffee also. Let's not forget their tasty cakes! Definitely will visit again

I gave it two stars because the place is beautiful and the young lady at the counter was very nice, however the cupcakes were disappointing. I ordered the Hennessy cupcakes and one rum cake pop. The flavor for both of them were bland and didn't taste anything like Hennessy or rum. The buttercream was good though. The cupcake was not soft or moist . It tasted hard and stale. I left it out for an hour to geto room temperature however the texture was still hard.

YALL, IT'S A BLACK OWNED BAKERY!!!! (at least that's what I was told, do correct me if I'm wrong) It's a cute little bakery tucked away on Bergen, and I love the fact they offer a range of options, from empanadas to cookies to cupcakes. I will say, I would LOVE if they carried more gluten free options for those of us with allergies - gluten free beef patties (!!!!!! PLEASE GOD!), GF empanadas, more GF cupcake flavors etc. Either way, I can't wait to spend my money here! The young ladies working at the front were very sweet as well. Sidebar: I remember years ago, when I used to mention a business being Black owned and thus wanting to shop/buy there (this is not a trend, but a lifestyle for me), Yelp used to flag my reviews as being inappropriate and racist. Hell, they'll probably do it again because I'm calling them out and they very clearly have no Black people in any positions of influence and are quite performative in their "efforts" to be "anti-racist". Glad that's "changed"...somewhat. But I digress.

we visited today with my toddler niece who uses a stroller, as we entered the lady who greeted me from behind the door asked us to close the door as my sister was getting her out of the stroller. she then asked if my dog was a service dog after the other male employee gave permission. even though he isn't a service dog she still said it was "fine" besides a horrible greeting she didnt allow us to look at the menu or pastries but expected us to know exactly what we wanted even though it was our first time visiting. She completely rushed us gave us the vibe that we shouldnt be there and she seemed annoyed The entire time. Even if those cupcakes are amazing I'll never go back or recommend them to anyone. Horrible service- specifically the lady at the counter.

My partner ordered my birthday cake from them for yesterday; a carrot cake. I'm a carrot cake purist (nuts, raisins), and they were willing to accommodate a request to add those in as those ingredients are not part of their recipe. However, I wanted to try their recipe as is. The bakery is new to me, and they're in walking distance. Their carrot cake is delicious! Super fresh, super natural, the delicious carrot flavor comes through. Just the right amount of sweetness. The lightest and airiest cream cheese frosting I have ever had! What I love about carrot cake is that it is a cake that is greater than the sum of its parts. This carrot cake, I felt that THIS is carrot cake! Delicious!

Randomly walked in because I was starving and the sign outside said try out smoked sea salt chocolate chip cookies. What a great spontaneous decision. The staff was super friendly, the food was delicious and the cookie was definitely worth it! As the chef stated "Who says you can't have breakfast food for dinner?"

The Hennessy Funfetti Cake I ordered at the Bakery on Bergen for my birthday was everything! The moist eye catching cake with rich buttery boozy frosting was a big hit with all my party guests. I was also extremely pleased to have scrumptious, very chocolatey, chocolate vegan cupcakes in addition and as an alternative for friends. The Bakery owner is so kind and really contributed to making my birthday special. My only regret is that I didn't get a bigger cake! It was so delicious I know many of my friends would have liked to take a piece home with them. Next year!

Today I bought a carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and it was delicious. I also have a ginger cupcake with matcha frosting, and two cookies (chocolate/chocolate and a sugar cookie, which I have yet to try). If you need sweet baked goods, I would strongly recommend them!

I've become a regular here this is my favorite black owned bakery in Brooklyn. There's a certain magic to the pastries here. I personally like the vegan peanut butter cookie and the I believe double fudge cookie. It's too good. I purposely make sure to stop here before I leave Brooklyn. Also Kim the owner is pretty cool.

I walked here over the weekend because I'd been following them on Instagram and was dying to try their cookies! It seemed like maybe they didn't have their full assortment and may have had other things going on that day as it didn't feel quite as organized as it seems like they typically would be. The people working were wonderful and I did get to try the chocolate chip sea salt cookie which was easily the most delicious cookie I have ever had so I highly recommend!

Love the Birthday cake I got from Bakery on Bergen. The owner was pleasant and I was lucky she took my order with short notice. The cake was delicious and I should've gotten a bigger cake. I'm definitely going back.

Best bakery in Brooklyn. The chocolate chip cookie with smoked sea salt and the vanilla rum cake are the best I'd ever had. The staff is professional and goes above and beyond to assist. Akim, the owner and The Bakery on Bergen is truly Brooklyn's Finest.

Kim is great, we went with a few people and 2 young babies and she accommodated us, it was truly great. The cookies were to die for and the coffee was awesome. Definitely would return soon.

An absolute gem. Louis is a treasure. Great goods, amazing service, don't miss supporting this lovely bakery!

I was minding my own business when my friend D took me on a walk to The Bakery on Bergen. Tucked right off of busy Washington Ave, this quaint bakery is the stuff I didn't even know I needed in my life! When you walk in, the smell of fresh baked goods immediately sweeps you up into a warm hug, which we ALL need during these crazy times. The cute decor, good vibes and chill music all make this a bakery unlike anything you've ever experienced. And the owner, Akim, is amazingly welcoming and accommodating - did I tell y'all the cookies are baked fresh!? This is my new spot! Don't sleep on TBOB - get over there to try the chocolate sable and the chocolate chip w/ sea salt cookies -- with or without milk, they are delectable! I def have a new addiction!

Stopped in one day I was feeling sad. Their cupcakes were moist and icing was tasty. I ate one red velvet cupcake there and had one blueberry cheesecake to go, both tasty. I also had a cream soda while there with a non plastic straw. Friendly staff. I left happier than I came, would go back.

The cookies were delectable! The sea salt chocolate chip cookies down to the chocolate sable' which Mom and I swiftly devoured immediately in the car! All Mom kept shouting was "all I need now is a glass of milk!" It was a great experience in the shop talking shop, BK times and family! Thank you Akim Vann!

I recently ordered Henny cupcakes for a friend's anniversary. She took my order over the phone, created them custom and hand delivered to the couple. They were absolutely delighted with the flavor and the gift. Thank you so much. I'm keeping this bakery in my Brooklyn hit list

This place was closed when we tried the first time during one of their very small open windows despite items in window and people inside. They were then closed again 070916@145pm. Owners replied to Yelp messages that they're changing their hours, offering no details and ignoring my reply requesting them. FWIW they supply a small rum cake to Crabby Shack if you wanna try their stuff at some place that's actually open. November 2016 update: seems to be open whenever the staff feels like hanging out with friends. dropped by on a Sunday when they're allegedly closed and the selection was a joke yet they were also producing for who knows what hours. Pumpkin cupcake ($3.27) was quite bad, definitely not worth trying to figure out when they'll actually be there.

This is my favorite bakery in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. The owner Kim is such a beautiful doll that really cares about her products and her customers experiences/taste buds. Im always greeted with a smile and a warm "Hi Chrissy !" by her. I always get the Rum cake. It is so moist, delectable, and so yummy. Her cookies are to die for as well. Come here and get all your sweet treats. Your tummy and soul will thank you

Amazing light red velvet cupcakes and incredible soft chocolate chip cookie! Tasted homemade in the best way, and super friendly team.

I just love this place. Truly a jem for my dessert fix I am crazy about the s'mores cookie it's my favorite. The Staff is so cool everytime I stop by

Always looking to support black owned business , the cupcakes especially the Reese's peanut butter ones are EXCELLENT! The staff is courteous friendly and knowledgeable of all,the products they sell. I have not sampled everything on the menu yet but I plan on doing so while I still try to take off weight! LOL! Give this business a look see and you won't be disappointed.

Kim is a rockstar. I wanted 20-24 cupcakes for a birthday party and emailed to coordinate the delivery. We agreed to use GrubHub to preorder, but they completed screwed up and canceled the order at the last minute, an hour before my party. I called to check on the order and she confirmed right away that she had the cupcakes all ready and got them in an Uber to me. I don't recommend folks plan on this but as a contingency, it worked out well and I really appreciate having their signature, delicious red velvets among others at this celebration. Perfection!

Have you ever wanted to jump across a table and snatch a cookie from a family member? Well if you haven't and you're going to the Bakery On Bergen...prepare yourself because that feeling is on its way! The artisan-ship that goes in to these delectable delights is apparent to the eye and the taste buds! Everything is decadent and rich in just the right ways...sharing is not something you are going to want to do after your first bite! Get out of Manhattan and take a trip over to Brooklyn! You will not be disappointed!

BOOZY BITES!!! Why would anyone eat anything else here... THEY have the red velvet, vanilla, and chocolate... I carried these minis home to NC in a cooler to share with my family. Everything looks good- cupcakes, etc... but this is NYC. And you will not find a better place to eat it!!! YUM! We went first thing after the noontime rush and there was no line either way it's worth the wait.

I happened to be walking by with my daughter and it looked so inviting that we decided to go in and check it out. I'm so glad we did! The cupcakes were incredible, and I'm not really a cupcake person - but eating these will make me one! We also got an empanada that was flavorful and so fresh. The food alone warrants 5 stars, and the service was lovely too. The owner was welcoming and kind- we'll be back!
