Du Jour Bakery

Loved this little place. Best oatmeal I’ve had, and I travel full time and always start my day with oatmeal! The cinnamon apples were a nice touch!
I’m so glad the mentioned their outdoor patio out back. If I could live my life my way, I would take every meal outdoors (weather permitting of course).
A special note to the management team: the business signage is actually hard to see. The gold foil lettering is pretty, but it is also small & reflective. I almost walked someplace new as I wasn’t able to identify your signage from across the street.

The blackout chocolate is okay, not too heavy but still rich. The chocolate chips banana bread I found heavenly, it was some coconut in it and tastes like fresh bananas. The coffee is good and the seating area cozy. Great place to go to for dessert after a meal!

Cute bakery, but needs improvement in quite a few areas.
1. The girl working the counter when I was there is lovely, but she needs help during business hours. It’s too much to have one person taking the orders and making the drinks; the line moves too slow and people can get impatient.
2. Wifi: if you’re going to advertise wifi it needs to work.
As an FYI there were a lot of children and their parents/​babysitters early afternoon, so expect noise volumes to be a bit higher during that part of day.
Food was decent, coffee was unbearable. I had the ham and cheese brioche which was good but nothing to shout about. The banana chocolate chip bread was the best thing I had and the reason for the stars. Moist and flavorful. I ordered a macchiato, and it was more of an espresso; needless to say I barely drank it.

My husband wanted to surprise me for my birthday with some cupcakes. They looked dry and tasted dense and flavorless. The counter person told my husband 2 of the cupcakes had cream filling inside– NOT TRUE! Very disappointing since this is a pricey dessert shop. Definitely won’t return!!!

The owners are THE BEST. Their baked goods are delicious. What a gem in Park Slope!

I recently ordered a gluten-​free cake from Du Jour for my baby shower, and it was amazing! Not only did the cake look like it came straight from a magazine, it was also delicious — vanilla cake with raspberry filling and covered in vanilla buttercream. My husband and sister, who are both gluten-​intolerant, couldn’t stop raving about how good it was, and neither could I!

THE BEST LINZER COOKIES I’VE EVER HAD
They’ve been written up by the NYTimes for them. They don’t have them every day but if you see them, buy everything they have — you will not be disappointed. The cookie has a whisper of cinnamon and ginger, the raspberry preserve is bright, sweet and tart. And the heart-​shape makes it a perfect surprise for your sweetie.

I ordered my daughter first birthday cake as well as cake pops from Vera and TJ Obias at Du Jour Bakery. Everything from ordering the cake to picking it up went smoothly. The cake looked better than I imagined and the cake pops were heavily. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a unique and tasty cake.

We ordered our wedding cake at Du Jour. We bought some gnome cake toppers (since our wedding party was at Backyard across the street, which has lots of gnome décor), and ordered a confetti cake with chocolate frosting. Vera and TJ ran with the gnomes, and created the most amazing cake design around the gnomes. The cake was such a hit! It was delicious, adorable, and extremely reasonably priced, and working with Vera and TJ was easy. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Du Jour!

They did such a great job on my weird NY Mets cake! Really went the extra mile to make it awesome. They clearly care about their craft. Highly recommended.

Meh. Ordered 3 desserts. Chocolate cake, s’mores cake and almond bread pudding. None were particularly good. The s’mores cake was cloying and kind gross. The chocolate cake seemed like it was from the day before. And the bread pudding was bland, which was refreshing in context.

Cute place, nice atmosphere, delicious chocolate croissant. And free wifi!
Holding out on the fifth star until I try more of their stuff, but so far so good!

Lovely café in Park Slope has a good selection of coffee, teas and pastries. The chocolate chip banana bread is ridiculous! Definitely try it. Even better is for those with a tree nut allergy like me, it doesn’t contain walnuts. Tried the cream filled chocolate wafers and they were good as well. Very nice staff too. Only complaint is seating is a tad uncomfortable but still a nice place to come.

I love this quaint bakery. They have wonderful desserts, pastries and coffee drinks. Weekend brunch, tho very crowded is well worth the trip. Chicken and waffles are my favorite along with brioche french toast.
During the week I come in for a quick cappuccino, and listen to the lovely jazz music piping thru the dining room.
It’s a great place to unwind and with the free WiFi, you can get lots of work done.
The staff is friendly and attentive. I even had my birthday cake made here in December after seeing the creative and beautiful the custom cakes. Mine was a hello kitty cake that came out spectacular. Definitely my favorite bakery in all of NYC.

Every fiber of my fruffy pretentious Park Slope being wants to love this place. It seems so perfect: Frenchy french name, fried chicken on the menu, buttery pastries… I mean, how can it possibly go wrong. However, it would seem that the universe has other ideas for me and Du Jour… probably because it knows I don’t belong here.
Never have I been stymied by a menu like this before. Multiple times now I have gone into this place, stared intently at the menu, eyes furrowed until my eyebrows join into one, willing the menu to give me something, ANYTHING, that I could eat. Fried chicken? Nope sorry we’re out of that. Waffles? Sorry they go with the chickens. Pancakes? What do we look like, some kind of cheap-​ass diner to you?**
If you’re an egg fan, your options will be limitless here, but sadly I am not. So every time I go after 10 minutes of intense perusing, I sigh and order myself a pastry with a side of fries. Every. Damn. Time. Maybe you’ll have better luck.
**The staff here is lovely, that’s just my frustration talking

Ordered: Sandwich and soup combo (Grilled cheese with added tomato and Potato leek soup)
Pros – The bread was buttery and crispy. The sandwich had a nice blend of cheeses. The soup was savory and the potato flavor wasn’t too potent. I put in the BBQ shoestring fries into the soup which added a nice crunch. Everything was clearly freshly made. It’s more of a café, so you can stay for hours without being bothered.
Cons – The menu was very limited.

I’d come back here over and over again
Update: came here for dinner (finally) and everything was ridiculously good! Must have their wings– perfection. Great sauce, crispy, not fAtty. They really know To cook a medium burger. And the cocktails were just fantastic. I had the bourbon Apple cider spiced– tasted like apple pie. Sooooo good. Not to mention, they have. Fantastic desert selection including those yummy brownies.
Our waiter, Levi, was very friendly, nice, and attentive.
I rarely have «spots» to go to but this is def. going on my list of favorites to come for brunch, dinner, lunch.
We ordered eggs Norway and French toast
Both were amazing, fresh, flavorful, interesting, unique in taste. I was impressed.
It’s so hard to find a place that serves amazing food and amazing coffee for a good prices.
This is def. a gem to store. They have a repeat costumer for sure!
Oh and a great selection of alcoholic drinks, too
The wait staff was friendly and attentive
The place wasn’t crowded and service was quick.

Unfortunately for Du Jour, despite their stellar rating, the inferior Blossom Du Jour appears first in search, but honestly this place didn’t live up to the expectations, peddling a weak $ 3.25 chocolate almond croissant (shaped more like pain au chocolat).

I was craving a donut and pastries and decided to stop by this place. Small bakery with cute and simple décor and a few tables to sit and enjoy your goodies.
I really came for the cinnamon buns, but I wasn’t surprised that it was gone by 2 pm. Must be really tasty! They had delicious looking cakes, donuts and a handful of pastries. I decided to go for the Boston cream, vanilla cream bomboloni, monkey bread and pecan sticky bun. Yup, these are all for me and my sweet tooth.
The Boston cream was delicious! It tasted even better than the Boston cream that I had in Boston! The chocolate on top wasn’t too overwhelming, the cream was light and not too sweet, and the donut itself was soft and delectable. I will definite be a regular for the Boston cream!
I haven’t tried the other goodies yet, but they look and smell just as great as the Boston cream, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they tasted just as great.
This bakery is a must try to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Comfortable and clean bakery with a good selection of food, sweets and drinks. There are gluten free goodies too.
Du Jour has free wifi (password chocolate). If you want to get work done, come during the weekday after lunch around 1:30 or on the weekends after brunch at 3:30. During brunch time, tables are set for dining so you can’t really lounge around.
Cons: there aren’t any outlets near seating area and bakery closes at 7PM.
