Avenue Bakery NYC

"I’m very glad this place opened up because I’m in this neighborhood often and it’s a great place to go and get something sweet. Personally, I don’t recommend the drinks because they’re way too expensive (like Starbucks expensive), and also I always get it to go because if you stay you have to tip and all that. The cakes and cookies are all very good, nothing special but a nice standard quality. I also really like the ice cream, it’s kind of stretchy like gelato and they have a good range or flavors."

"This place is so cute! Me and my friend came across it after getting a playa bowl. Definitely recommend the tres leches! It tastes like perfection. It melts into your mouth so smoothly. The place is aesthetically pleasing the inside is like a cute cafe spot. The food is affordable! I totally recommend!"

"Avenue bakery has quickly become one of my favorite spots to read, work, or chat with a friend! The staff are all so kind, and the atmosphere is wonderful. There is plenty of seating, and the interior is bright and cozy. Everything I’ve had so far has been great: caramel latte, chocolate fudge cake, brownie cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake, and the frozen peanut butter hot chocolate. I’ll be going here regularly!!"

"Such a great local bakery! The service was incredible. There’s a whole back room with tons of comfortable seating (and fireplace) so you don’t have to eat in the cold. My peanut butter frozen hot chocolate hit the spot — very peanut buttery, I loved it. The regular frozen hot chocolate was also tasty. The cinnamon roll was good, more of a flakey pastry than a gooey cinnamon roll which I enjoyed. All Kosher certified too if that’s your thing. Highly recommend for beautiful pastries, friendly service, and ample seating to enjoy your food and stay a while!"

"I had one of the two versions of napoleons that they offer.here. They offer the typical one and the one I chose, which has some fresh berries mixed in with the layers of custard ($8.95 including tax). I was not happy with it because the pastry had no taste at all, so each time I took a bite, all I tasted was the pleasing custard and occasionally some fresh berries mixed in with the custard. IF they had offered it, I might as well have ordered a cup of custard with berries for what would have likely been less money. The napoleon is large, and is enough for two people. I did not try their coffee. The bakery has an inconspicuous entrance to a LARGE dining area in the back. On another visit here, I tried their triple chocolate mousse cake (pictured here), which I found to be very disappointing because the chocolate flavors were too mild."
