Betty Bakery

Red velvet? Eh I’m not usually a fan of this dessert. Red velvet from Betty? oh my. Now we are talking about a whole different ball game. This will be the best red velvet cake or cupcake you will ever try! I was lucky to find them as their cakes are not just delicious but look so elegant for any occasion.
Best part? I get to finish off the decorating touches. Anytime I get this cake. It’s always a crowd pleaser.
As per the other desserts. You can’t go wrong. Delicious! Now I am just waiting for the summer to try their key lime pie. If your thinking about which bakery to indulge in some guilty desserts. Look no further. This is a sweet tooth satisfier for sure.

We’ve tried a lot of their cakes. Some are better than others. The coconut cake was a bit too rich with nothing to balance but the red velvet, chocolate and carrot are all winners! Love love the seasonal pumpkin cake.

Yum! It’s a good thing that Betty’s is a bit of a walk for me to get to or else I’d have a serious eating problem. I love this place. The sweet smell hits you as soon as you walk through the door. I always pick up birthday cakes for friends here. Best little bakery in Brooklyn! Tip: try the ring dings and lemon bars. Omg!!!

Am I the only person not impressed by this place? I have passed this bakery a million times (the store is super cute and everything looked delicious) and I finally tried a rainbow slice today. The cake is really pretty but the cake layers are not that moist. The icing tasted like salty whipped cream. Based on the reviews, I might give this place one more chance and try something different but I regret to say that the cake I tried today was really unenjoyable.

Betty, Betty, Betty. What’s it like to relive your sweetest and fondest memories as a kid. Does the sweet smell of a baking cake throw you back in time. It’s does for me everytime I come near Betty. You want the good stuff you have to pay. But dear sweet Betty, you deliver like few can. Takes me home every time, why else indulge the sweet tooth. I love you, Betty,. You’re better than therapy. Don’t ever change those ring dings. Sweet Betty.

They have copy-​cat Ring-​Dings and Twinkies. They taste like what they would taste like if they were made with care and great ingredients. The «twinkie», sponge cake with cream in the middle is melt-​in-​your-​mouth divineness. Definitely stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

I paid 130 for an 8 inch cake. The prices are outrageous. I was not impressed with the design. It was very simple, its embarrassing they charged that much money for stencil letters.

Yummy cakes! I had amazing iced coffee here too. Perfect amount of sweetness. Cookies and brownie were a bit dry :/

Today I came in with my family to purchase 3 cookies, one for each of my children. I suppose your staff enjoys looking into the faces of sad, disappointed kids because we were told there was a minimum ¼ lb purchase. No one else was in the bakery and perhaps a little discretion could’ve been exercised and an exception made. You suck! I have been coming here for 2+ years and I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

Betty Bakery is one of my very favorite guilty pleasures. Whenever I just «happen» to be walking by, it’s hard not to find an excuse to come in and buy a dessert to go. The space is inviting and charming, the girls behind the counter are always sweet and friendly and the cases of cakes, pies, and cookies are drool-​worthy and beautifully displayed.
I’ve bought my last 2 birthday cakes here and this last one a couple of weeks ago was unbelievable! I called up the day before I needed the cake, yes– very last minute. I told them I had had a piece of cake there a month or so before that was incredible with chocolate cake and the most delicate strawberry frosting obviously made with real strawberries. The person on the phone knew immediately what I was talking about and excitedly shared that I was talking about the «Chocolate cake soaked in Chambord (raspberry liquor) with strawberry buttercream frosting». Ding! Ding! Ding! Omg, yes! Everyone went crazy over this cake– even people who said they typically don’t eat a lot of sweets. When I went in to pick it up, the 2 girls behind the counter peered in the box inhaling in the incredible scent and saying it was one of their very favorite cakes. It felt like a very special cake!
The key lime pie is also incredible. To be honest I don’t remember if it was a key lime cheese cake but that is what it tasted like and was incredible.
I’ve also bought their gourmet Twinkies («Twinks») and Ding Dongs (I don’t remember what they call them) which are playful and the best Twinkies and Ding Dongs you’ve ever had with superior ingredients to the processed originals!
The tea cakes are also great: nice and moist and flavorful (banana bread, cranberry walnut, etc).
Some people may find it a little pricey but the quality here is so superior and it may sound corny but they obviously love what they do and it shows in the yummy cakes.
Definitely recommended… I may stop by and pick up a little treat for dessert today!
(Only wish is they stayed open a little later!)

Pricey. However, it will fulfill any sugar cravings you may have.
Had the oreo cake slice and the red velvet cupcake. Both were decadent and flavorful.
They also have free wifi, some seating and tap water (upon request)

A little disappointed when I stopped by here. Was super excited to try it out, because their pictures and online menu looked great. And I was hoping to get a good taste of their baking skills/​concoctions so I could get cakes made for a wedding reception.
First, I did want to mention the positives :
–although a small space, it was cozy, clean, and the cashier girls were super sweet and friendly. There are a few seats by the window, but that’s it. It’s not exactly a place to linger, in my opinion.
Now onto the actual treats themselves:
Slice of chocolate layer cake– The cake seemed dry, and maybe because it had been pre cut? The frosting was OK, not overly sweet, so that’s probably a personal preference.
Vanilla/​vanilla cupcake– I didn’t taste any vanilla in the cake when I ate the cake alone. Also dry, and not moist/​fluffy or light. I couldn’t even finish mine, and my husband was surprised since I love all kinds of sweets and have been known to finish something I bought even if it was mediocre.
Chocolate/​chocolate cupcake– Similar to the chocolate layer cake.
Ring ding — the best thing I got. The cake was moist, and that was surprising. Either it was freshly baked, or the nature of the cake itself — the cream added moisture to the cake, or because the cake had a solid/​hard chocolate shell around the cake protecting it from air and thus keeping it fresher? It was my favorite and if I was around the area, maybe I’d stop by to get one.
The prices are OK, I guess, not cheap, but comparable with any other cupcake/​bakery all over the city. So it didn’t really stun me or turn me off. I knew what I was getting into. I just wish that for what I was paying, I got something I actually enjoyed and could finish.
Also, make note that the menu seems extensive, however, once you walk inside, you don’t see any of it. I’m not sure if I came in on a bad day or off hour, but I didn’t see half the things I wanted to order. Perhaps I had to request it, but part of the fun is seeing the pastry/​baked good before ordering.

This is place is adorable, and so under the radar. I’ve walked by it a bunch without even noticing it but today I happened to look up and thought it looked like a much better choice than Starbucks for caffeine. I only had an iced coffee but the baked goods and pastries look incredible (and kind of a nice change from the donut/​cupcake/​cookie zeitgeist that seems to be everywhere these days.). I definitely want to return!

Me and a friend popped in on a Thursday evening for some sweets. This place is small. It seats 5 people at the window bar. One seat is in an awkward corner position with a trash can directly behind it and the coffee station directly behind that. Sp really, this place sits ~4 comfortably. If everyone that walked in while we were there wanted to sit down, there def would be no room. This place is kinda pricey. $ 7 for a piece of cake. There were cookies there for $ 5 – 6. Marzipan figures for $ 8 – 9. So, be prepared.
I had the carrot cake because it looked uh-may-zing…and oh my, I think part of me floated off into heaven after the first bite. The cake was filled with delicious carrot pieces, Perfect combo of moist and rich. The cream cheese frosting was also on point. Not overly sugary or buttery. It complemented the cake perfectly! Had a green tea to go with it (they serve Numi teas)…make sure you let that bad boy sit for several minutes because the water they use for the tea is PIPING HOT. Friend had the triple hot chocolate and said the 3 different types of chocolate used were really well balanced; just the right amount of bitterness.
Friend also had the oreo cake, which, according to the ladies in the front is pretty popular. When I think of oreos, I think of rich indulgence. This cake was very light and fluffy and didn’t quite match what I was expecting. It was good but after tasting my creamy, rich, delicious carrot cake, I was expecting the same of a cake laden with oreos, but that was not the case. It was more birthday cake tasting. I’m told the red velvet is also a hot item. Excited to come back and try it!

I usually hate red velvet cake, either it tastes like red dye #5 or the frosting is too sweet with no familiarities to cream cheese. My mom is the best chef (classically trained) and no store has never measured up… Until I found Betty. I went there due to the awesome reviews on Unilocal and discovered that this is now the second best red velvet I have tried, the other is red hens. I tried this place because I needed somewhere closer for my gf &. Bros. birthday party next week. It’s a plus that I can walk there as well.
About the cakes; my girlfriend wants a red velvet and this cake was absolutely moist with structure. It did not crumble at all which I like. The cake had a hint of cocoa but very light. Next we tried the strawberry shortcake which looked absolutely beautiful, the addition of fresh strawberries in the middle was a refreshing note… Rather than the usual sugar soaked berries others use. I did wish the cake was softer, especially for a cake that should have that lightness. I will try to request that note when I order the cakes.

My boyfriend ordered an all chocolate cake from Betty Bakery for my birthday last year and it was delicious. He said they were extremely nice and worked with his idea perfectly. Id order a cake from them again!

Pricy but deliciously worth it. The Ringdings were suburb. The Strawberry Shortcake was fresh, and tasted perfectly balanced with ripe (but not mushy) strawberries, moist cake and the most delicious, sweet (but not overly so) whipped cream. So simple and well done. The Twinks were just okay, a little too firm for me, but damn, the Triple Hot Chocolate was so good, my husband and I almost drank the whole thing before handing it over to our child (whom we had purchased it for in the first place), and he was not at all pleased by how little was left over for him. Service was pleasant and friendly.
Going to try my slice of Red Velvet Cake now… have a strong feeling it’s going to be super good too.

I LOVE BETTY BAKERY! I ordered our wedding cake from here; a three tier, hazelnut-​almond torte cake with praline buttercream and raspberry jam filling and white rolled fondant icing… one word = AMAZING! We meet with lovely Ellen and she delivered an exceptional cake that was simple and classic… basically how we envisioned it.
I like this place so much that I went back and ordered a carrot cake for my husband’s birthday… I love their carrot cake… and I will be back many more times!

I absolutely love baking and wanted to love this bakery! It had such a variety of treats from cookies to cupcakes to tarts. Mainly everything you can think of. They recreated some hostess favorites like the ding dong and the twinkie. I wanted to order something small and simple. I decided on the snowflake sugar cookie.
It was $ 5.95!!! I repeat $ 5.95! Unbelieveable! The Levain cookies are only $ 4. That is absolutely bananas. Neeless to say, looks aren’t everything. The cookie tasted like a basic sugar cookie and was priced way too high for what it was.
I hate writing bad reviews and rarely do. But I just don’t think a sugar cookie should cost the same as a chocolate caramel tart that is next to it or more than a brownie.

Love love love this bakery. Their cakes and cookies are really moist and heavy, like grandma would make. They have little Twinks which are like twinkies, and something like a ding dong. My all time fav is the lemon bundt cake which is very lemony with just the right amount of sugar icing.
Prices are on the high side (but I still keep coming) and closed Monday.
