I recently requested a quote for a custom cake and they responded quickly and the price was very reasonable. Unfortunately the party planners decided to use a bakery closer to venue. That said I’ve been to this neighborhood staple several times and the cake is delicious and the service is friendly. Definitely recommend this place for cakes and other baked goods.

Delicious does not begin to describe the breakfast. The mascarpone and pistachio pastry was perfection! And the pistachio latte was so flavorful without being too sweet (the common downfall of a latte at most establishments). The rest of my family had savory breakfast sandwiches and declared them the best ever. You MUST try this bakery when in NYC!

Got the homemade twinkies and thought it was pretty average, as the texture was dry and there wasn’t a unique flavor

I'm giving Betty Bakery a 3 Star for now. I came for a slice of cake but decided on an individual Cherry Pie. I appreciated they offered some savory items as well, which is not typical of bakeries-kudos. They offer common cakes like Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Vanilla (with some rainbow sprinkles), and and their version of Coconut Cake. I was looking for more of a seasonal flavor cake. There are cookies, bars and an array of other baked goods.

It's true prices have gone up, however, customer service should always be kind and genuine. And, because it's a scratch bakery, not all baked good look exactly alike, which is hallmark of a scratch bakery. It's always best to ask the customer if there's a slice, a bar, or piece of pie they see they prefer. We do eat with our eyes first. Unfortunately, that was not the case when I patronized the bakery. Note, they were not busy. One customer came in and I kindly suggested they be attended as I was still deciding. When I suggested the pie I'd like to buy, the bakery attendant mentioned she already grabbed one. And, they were not too happy to grab the one I wanted to buy. I thanked them for grabbing the pie and they didn't bother to say Thank You or make any eye contact. Cost of goods have gone up, but having to pay for bad service shouldn't be factored in that.

I'll return and try their cake as I like to give businesses another chance.

A cute little spot! I had the shepherd’s pie and a red velvet cupcake. Shepherd’s pie was super delicious; crispy on top but warm and moist on the inside without being too mushy and falling apart. Red velvet was OK—I’ve had worse cupcakes and I’ve had better cupcakes. Still hit the spot as I was craving red velvet. Definitely would go back to try another savory pie and one of their cookies.

I had Betty make a custom cake for my sisters baby shower and everyone was super obsessed w the cake. The design process required minimal back and forth and the cake came out looking exactly if not better than what I had hoped for. It also tasted great. It was ready on time and was also like packed very well.

I tried the Chicken Curry pie, it is spicy but I loved it. Balanced spices, great portion

The chocolate cake they have is amazing. Just the perfect soft texture, frosting is not so sweet yet super balanced and not over frosted.

Cold brew coffee was good too

Not to mention Jade is a lovely young lady that was so hospitable and kind

Warm your pie and have it right away

They even make to order cakes for events

Highly recommend
