Feel like i have been living under the rock not knowing this part of Greenpoint, there are a few authentic bakery in this warehouse area Which feels so christmasy. Got the caramel Napoleon and poppy seed cheesecake, they are $4 per lb and huge !
My Polish great-grandmother sent my family sweet cheese Babka bread every year. She wouldn’t say where she sent it from and when she passed so did our time with the Babka bread. This year I decided to host for Easter and after lots of searching, I decided to buy Babka bread from Syrena Bakery. It is the closest thing I’ve found to the one from my childhood and I’m so grateful. Everyone working there is so kind and considerate. I’m ecstatic and feel excited to share the sweet treat with friends tomorrow! Thank you, Syrena!
I visit this amazing Polish bakery for all major holidays. I’m glad I live too far to be there more often because I’d be having cakes for breakfast!!!
Just got this amazing rum cake (see photos) for Easter but it was so delicious, it didn’t make it to Easter. Lol. I strongly recommend their Polish donuts (pączki) and cheesecakes. They have a great variety of those to chose from. Best part is that their desserts aren’t overly sweet like the typical American desserts. Place is clean and staff friendly. No inside sitting area but there’s a bench outside where you can sit and enjoy your donut/coffee. Place gets very crowded during holidays so expect to wait in long lines, but, trust me, it’s worth it.
