First Look: Radio Bakery Arrives in Prospect Heights—And Pastry Lovers Are Lining Up
Radio Bakery’s highly anticipated Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, location is finally here—and if opening day is any sign, you’ll want to arrive early.
Congrats to chef-owner Kelly Mencin and the team on the opening of Radio Bakery today!
Radio Bakery first opened in Greenpoint in 2023, quickly becoming a local favorite, and a destination for pastry lovers from near and far. It was recently featured on The New York Times’ end-of-2024 list of the “22 Best Bakeries Across the U.S. Right Now” (yes, across the country!).
I got there around 10:30am (they opened at 7:30am with Mencin handing out hot chocolate to everyone waiting in line around the corner on a freezing morning!) and there were a lot of items sold out already. They were completely sold out before 2pm.
I was lucky to try the Sausage & Chive Focaccia (my favorite - but all the focaccia looked delicious), Pistachio Croissant, Chocolate Chunk Cookie - all blissful experiences.
Look out for their Vanilla Custard Croissant, made in collaboration with Nielsen-Massey for StarChefs Restaurant Week - part of Mencin’s well-earned recognition as one of NYC’s Rising Star Chefs!
Can’t wait to treat myself to even more yummy pastries from the Radio Bakery team!
