Saw the reviews so walk 20 minutes to check it out. We bought the praline snicker doodle cookie, gingerbread cupcake, eggnog cheesecake and monkey bun.
All of them were good enough, but the monkey bun was really good. The cookie was a solid snicker doodle but nothing exceptional. The gingerbread cupcake was better but still didn’t feel worth a 20 minute walk. Egg nog cheesecake was a bar and had a subtle egg nog flavor. Again it was okay. The monkey bun, which one of the guys there said was his favorite was the one thing I would go out my way to have again. The prices were also reasonable so they get good points for that. We were told that not all the cupcake selections are on the website so I had to FaceTime my wife for her to make her selection but it worked out. I plan on having the monkey bun again when I’m in the area. They also have a Park Slope location.

Courteous service. I ordered a variety of 8 cupcakes to go, 1 cupcake for a friends child, 1 pecan cookie and white tea for myself. They packed the cupcakes really well. I was nervous about making a long trip on the train but the cupcakes arrived in perfect delicious condition thanks to the conscientious packaging job of the people working here.

Can’t walk by without coming in. Hard to do since we have a house a block away. The smell will definitely draw you in and one bite of any cookie will leave you completely addicted. Don’t forget to get a cookie punch card!

I used to come here for their delicious, thick hot chocolate reminiscent of Spain. They don’t make it at this location any more. It’s now watery and not chocolatey at all… Unfortunately, it ended up in the trash. $ 3.25 + .75 cent tip down the drain.

If heaven had a smell, the inside of this shop is what it would smell like. I would just go in there to smell! Got a hot chocolate from there, would recommend going for the smaller size as it is so incredibly rich and chocolaty. It feels like your drinking a cup of chocolate! But that’s perfect! It’s a really small location so you can’t sit down in there. They are also closed on Mondays. I’m sure all of their sweets are incredible!

I participated in their holiday pie baking class which was great! Liz taught our small group of 5 and we made 3 pies: pumpkin, apple crumb with caramel and a chocolate raspberry pie. Liz explained the science behind the different steps as we prepared the dough, made the fillings, filled, and later decorated our pies. We each went home with 3 small pies and freshly whipped cream. I definitely plan to join another class.
There was an 8 year old girl and her mother at our class. They regularly sign up for these classes and love them.

The owner is extremely sweet and the staff are super nice but the baked goods fell short of our expectations.
My sweet and salty toothed in laws tried the salty and sweet cookie and said it was way too salty and didn’t work.
Other baked goods ive had in the past were cloyingly sweet.
Taste is subjective cos I also see lots of 5 star reviews

Skipped the Unilocal checkin special and went with the dense, dry maple banana cupcake.

We had Buttermilk Bakeshop make a cake for my sister’s baby shower. She was reasonably priced, she worked with us to get the decorations how we wanted them and the timing was perfect on the delivery. The cake was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments on how good it was. It was also adorable and the decorations came out great.
I would definitely recommend trying this bakery some time.

Somehow I’ve managed to not have any of the desserts on my frequent trips here. That’s because the crossiant are so amazing that I just keep getting those! Light, flaky and buttery goodness. Delicious iced coffee as well!

They’re a tiny bake shop with a ton of really cute sweets and pastries and cupcakes.
As most people have mentioned, the Nutella cookies are legit. So yummy.
Tried the walnut banana cupcake too. A little too rich for me, but good flavor. It was like eating banana bread in cupcake form.
Also, free chocolate sea salt caramel with Unilocal check-​in!

Let’s start by saying you can smell the aromas outside this bakery. So, those smells lured me in. I ate everything with my eyes.
Then, I actually ate the salted nutella cookie and the linzer cookie.
I’m not even into sweets, but I was tempted.

The superior bakery in the neighborhood. Outstanding croissants, flaky and tender at the same time. Cookies are delicious, and we love the monkey rolls.
Why only 4 stars? This location doesn’t open till 9. I have to be at work by 9 on weekdays. And on the weekends, we’re up and ready for breakfast by 8. I’ve seen people working inside at 8:30. But all those poor fresh baked croissants just sit there getting old while we wait hungrily on the other side of the glass.

In full disclosure, I only had one cookie from here, so I don’t have a large sample size of experience; however, I will proclaim that it was the most delicious (and the most expensive) cookie I’ve ever had. I had a salted chocolate cookie with a dollop of nutella in the center. It was so sweet, savory, rich, and decadent. I never thought I would ever describe a cookie with those words, but now I have.
The aroma here is infatuating. I have never stepped into a more enchanting bakery. I would unhesitatingly buy an air freshener capturing the scent of Buttermilk Bakeshop.

Chocolate croissant!
This bakery occupies a space that was formerly a taste di lite. When I heard it was going to be a bake shop I was a little like really BUT the bakery closest to my apartment closed last year. It is small and that smallness reflects the effort and safe I say love that is infused into the baked goods. I came in one morning after getting my coffee at Grumpy. When asked if I wanted coffee I sheepishly help up my cup and the owner says «I love Grumpys!» I mean where does that happen these days? Have to try some of the other treats but I am pretty hung up on the croissant.

The bread pudding, savory and sweet croissants, cookies and brownies were amazing. But, the best part were the people, everyone who works here is happy and pleasant, what a breath of fresh air!

This tiny bakery doesn’t look like much from the outside nor the inside, which makes it even more surprising how amazing the cookies are.
We were pretty close to both Du Jour and Ladybird, both excellent bakeries, but I felt like trying something new so we came here instead. The gamble paid off, as all the stuff we tried was excellent.
We got the Monkey Bun ($ 3), which is a small, delicious version of a sticky bun. It could have been a little softer, but it had a great taste. The thing that really stuck out were the cookies. We tried the Peanut Butter’d and Nutella Love Bites Cookies ($ 2.50 each). The peanut butter one was up there with some of the best I’ve had. It was impossibly soft and chewy, with a pretty good thickness to it. It was salty with a very rich peanut butter taste and some crunchy whole peanuts embedded in it. This is a must try.
The other one may have been even better, especially if you are more of a chocolate person. It’s a really rich chocolate cookie, also very soft and chewy. There is a beautiful smattering of Nutella spread on top, which adds even more sweetness to the already incredibly rich cookie. This is another must.
The place is dominated by the large kitchen/​prep area, with just enough room for 4 or 5 customers to peruse the beautiful display of the wide variety of baked goods. There are a few stools next to a counter lining the wall to eat at. I know I will definitely be back next time I’m in Park Slope to try the rest of those cookies.

Awesome little bake shop with many delicious looking desserts. Bakers are working behind the counter so you can see what’s coming out next. Seems to make things in smaller batches which equals fresh and warm baked goods!
Nutella chocolate cookie may the best cookie I’ve ever had!
Three chocolate chip cookie was gooey and warm with oozing milk, dark and white chocolate bits. Peanut butter’d cookie is a bit dry. Purple velvet whoopsie pie was light and fluffy. And my favorite– monkey bun! A cinnamon bun with crispy exterior, glazed walnuts and a caramelized banana was just perfect!

I am a lady of simple pleasures. One of these significant pleasures includes deliciousness, and Buttermilk Bakeshop definitely delivers in this department.
As I eagerly awaited opening day like a complete bakery-​nerd (not ashamed in the LEAST), I was surprised to find a mini line already forming roughly within the first 15 minutes of their opening day (a good sign, clearly!). Be forewarned that this bakeshop has absolutely no seating, and is really a grab-​and-​go countertop space. That said, you may want to bring a side of patience with you as they’re still working out some service /​system kinks (understandably, as they’re brand spankin’ new).
There’s a decent spread of sweet vs. savoury goodies to be had here, and I was informed by the head baker/​owner that cakes/​cupcakes typically roll out around noon. For the morning commuters hopping on the F/​G line right next door, there’s portable quiche, savoury and sweet croissants, and even full sized baguettes to nosh on while you are sandwiched awkwardly between total strangers on the train (hey, at least you can give em’ food envy).
I sampled: a parker house roll (75 cents for a good sized portion. lightly herbed, but not particularly outstanding per se. best to be paired with something else, perhaps eggs?), a biscotti with almonds and chocolate (very nice crumb, a bit on the sweeter side, would be great with some good black coffee), and a slice of honey loaf cake (the winner of my trio of treats. very delicious with a well-​rounded sweetness and a touch of molasses flavouring).
I’m excited to have yet another contender for my daily carbohydrate-​and-​sugar intake, and hope Buttermilk sticks around for the long haul!
