We placed a custom vegan cupcake order from Betty Bakery for a special event, specifically noting a few allergens. Unfortunately, those allergen requests were not honored, and our guests with sensitivities became sick. While their reactions were thankfully mild and not life-threatening, it did derail the rest of our evening and was deeply disappointing. We will not be ordering from here again!
Wow! On a random solo adventure, I stumbled across this bakery and I love chocolate cake so I was hoping that I can get a slice before i went home. A little after being home I completely forgot I bought a sweet treat! I was pleasantly surprised with how rich and moist this Valrhona chocolate cake was. It was so good currently wishing I could’ve bought an entire Cake. 🤣🤣🤣🩵🩵🩵 definitely the kind of cake that makes you want a glass of milk🤭😆
POSITIVE REVIEW:
The black bench outside offered a small comfort. Inside, the lingering scent of stale coffee hung heavy. I was drawn in by the promise of "Lavender Matcha" on the sign outside. Walking in, I was met with a blank stare. "We don't sell that," he shrugged, his effortless voice echoing in the empty space. I should have turned back then. Instead, I ordered a regular matcha, its milky taste confirming my regret. Save yourself the disappointment. :) :) :)
The guy on the phone said it’s the best and it is.
Easily the best Carrot Cake in NYC, and yes, I’ve had Lloyd’s, Hani’s, Billy’s, Carrot Top, Mia’s, Little Cupcake (which is actually not good at all), and many many others.
It has very similar cake layers to Lloyd’s and is truthfully not quite as warming, dense, or rich of a mouthful, but the icing is perfectly balanced. Velvety mouthfeel, not gritty or mealy like Lloyd’s, and not nearly as sweet. It’s a very dreamy nostalgic bite, and from someone who has tried hundreds of carrot cakes recipes at home and out at bakeries, this is as good as it gets.
I asked AJ to recommend between the oreo cheesecake and the red velvet cake. He without hesitation said the red velvet cake. Without a doubt the best I've ever had. Rich, dense, moist VELVETY ( a quality lacking in many red velvets) balanced by a not overly sweet cream cheese frosting. Went down smoothly even without a glass of milk or a cup of coffee
Though I don’t usually write reviews, I felt compelled to after hearing of others’ unpleasant experiences and, soon after, having one of my own.
After craving pie, I travelled to Betty Bakery as it is marketed as having much to offer in its pie department. I bought a cherry pie. Since there are not many places in Brooklyn that offer mini pies at their frequency, you can only imagine how repulsed and additionally confused I was to find the state of this pie; dough raw and inedible, the pie filling being canned cherries, and an icky pool of cherry liquid sogging and soaking the entire bottom of my box as well as the pie. Before I got a chance to even give this pie the benefit of the doubt it fell apart.
The truth of the matter is, Betty Bakery is on a steady decline — in customer service, in quality—which should ALWAYS be over quantity—and in passion for what they do. As I have been a member of the community for quite sometime, the general consensus is that people are gravitating away from Betty in order to avoid the sour attitude of the owner who seems to have not a bone of pleasantry in his body for the good people he serves. If the nastiness of this guy hasn’t turned you away, let the lack of freshness being sold in a bakery that claims to be fresh do it for you.
For my 60th Birthday celebration, I made an unusual request to have their lemon bundt cake recipe made into a sheet cake to decorate for the celebration; the owner was very attentive and patient. The cake was a HUGE HIT! It looked (simply) marvelous, as I would have it! Delivery was timely, which is very important.
