Burrow

"Not sweet at all! Might be a bummer for Americans but we Asians love it!!! The signature basque was like sunshine. And I loved the coffee cake."

"I love to stop by this place whenever I am nearby as they are so friendly and kind and the pastries never disappoint. There are always new enticing treats to try and I'm always impressed with the delicately nuanced flavors that come forward as I savor a new dessert. The cafe is tucked away in a building full of artists studios so it feels like you are in a secret local favorite that not everyone is privy to. It is always spotlessly clean, too. Cannot recommend it enough! Lastly, they happily accommodate my tree nut allergy with zero fuss by letting me know which items have tree nuts as an ingredient- so crucial for a foodie like me who has to be careful!"

"Impeccable quality of pastry products at this bakery. 100% worth the price. The attention to detail on all of its products is equivalent to the other French bakeries you can find around the city like sweet rehab. As this is a Japanese bakery, the sweetness levels of all their pastries are a bit less than what you'd expect. I enjoy this fact. So do other people, as after I came in, another family bought out many of the pastries on display. I do however wish there were tables present in front of the only two seats outside the door of the establishment. Outside of this, everything else was enjoyable about my experience with the staff and quality of the products. My favorite was the cinnamon sugar donut, $5"

"True hidden gem in Brooklyn. They only open from 10am to 2pm on weekdays. When I had an unexpected day-off on Tue, I knew it was a sign to visit Burrow. Their store is located inside a commercial building, so it took me awhile to figure out where the entrance was. ＊Quiche Forgot what were the fillings... it should be loaded with chicken, bell pepper and spinach. The savory egg custard was incredibly soft and jiggly. The quiche was packed full of bright veggie and herbal flavors. I was disappointed by most of the quiches served in other bakeries, but this one was exceptionally yum. ＊Gateau Basque Custard My fav pastries out of the three. I thanked myself for picking this simple but divine pastry over other fancy-looking ones. Their tart crust slayed with its flakiness. The almond custard fillings were encased in the buttery dough. Silky, nutty and (most importantly) not too sweet. ＊Strawberry Pistachio Cake I witnessed the cakes sold out within an hour during my stay at Burrow. Coated with whipped cream and a thin layer of jelly-like strawberry jam. The strawberry mousse was bursted with fresh and naturally sweet flavor. You could clearly distinguish there wasn't much added sugar in this piece. The pistachio sponge cake was fluffy, yet the flavor was bland and overpowered by the strawberry mousse. My Recommendations: Everything Worth Returning ? YES DEFINITELY"

"It’s almost impossible to make it to @burr0w because they have the weirdest hours and only on weekdays! I’m so glad I finally got to visit on Good Friday though. Their pastries are delicious and remind me of both Taiwan and Japan! So authentic. The mocha biscuit and caramel butter cream of the coffee cake was amazing! Matcha cake was great as well!"
