T & D Bakery

Ironically, T&D is a short block away from my dentist’s office so whenever I visit him, it’s a must stop after the visit. The cheese Danish is amazing, they go fast, today when I stopped by around noon, there were only two left and with another customer eyeing them, I quickly placed my order. I also picked up a pound of the rainbow cookies as a small treat for my hard-​working team at work, they sure were happy to get some sugar, these were the best rainbow cookies I tasted, sometimes, rainbow cookies have too much marzipan taste, these were just perfect, very fresh, the dough was so moist, the proper amount of the jam and chocolate sealed the deal, I wish I brought more. There aren’t too man old school bakeries left in South Brooklyn, T&D is truly a local treasure.

In addition to all that has been said about T&D, I go out of my way to get their rolls and some other breads. If you like the rolls at Roll ‘n Roaster, these are them. Pick up some of the rolls and make a roast beef sandwich at home and add a little au jus and you will thank me later!

I used T&D Bakery only because it was part of the package at Buckley’s Catering, I wish I would have splurged more and had looked around but I was trying to keep cost down and low key. I took photos what I wanted to cake to look like, which they said they could accommodate and wasn’t at all over the top. Round with buttercream icing all white– three tiers with a tint of shimmer. The cake was also supposed to be a gender reveal cake for my husband and I along with all of our guest to find out together. during the cake cutting at the reception. Well when I walked into the venue and looked for the cake I was truly disappointed. It looked like a cake from 1980 something with the column separations and no tint. Worst of all I was humiliated to find that they did not send the cake part with the reveal and so I ended up butchering my cake to find if any of the tiers had the color. Everyone including myself and my husband were looking forward to finding out what the gender of our baby was and nothing. I had to call the next day and ask the girl behind the counter what was written in the envelope. Thats how I found out what I was having. Apparently, the delivery person forgot the cake tier that had the coloring. I never received and apology from the owner or anyone for that matter. I do not recommend T&D even for an included cake package– go with a professional.

A wonderful little Italian bakery, pure Brooklyn style. I have been picking up cakes and pastries from here for about 20 years, and I am always happy. The fresh fruit tarts are super great, and so are the huge chocolate dipped strawberries they put on top of their delicious cakes. Love this place, highly recommend, 5 stars!

I love T & D Bakery. The cookies, sfogliatelle, & biscotti are great. The coffee is great too. The staff is wonderful and funny. I stop in several times a week.

Fantastic rainbow cookies. Rich and moist!

My family and I have been regular customers of T&D Bakery for over 20 years. Their rainbow cookies are the best and I’ve never had better. They have a nice selection of bread, cookies, and pastries. The staff is friendly and pleasant.

The place didn’t look like a spot to walk into to get delicious Italian bakeries, but luckily the good people on Unilocal posted reviews, so I took their word on it. Yes I do recommend their rainbow cookies and their rainbow cake! It is perfectly made and fresh and moist. The owners are Italian too and very nice. They have a various selection of sugar cookies as well but I was looking for the perfect rainbow cookie. I think this place is one of them.

Best sfogliatelle I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy exterior with an orange zest speckled moist interior and just the right amount of sugar. YUM.

Every time I visit Brooklyn I get cookies and pastries here and everything is always great! Authentic Italian pastries.

COOKIES!!! I live in the neighborhood and have tried every Italian bakery in the area. T&D has the best rainbow & pignoli cookies out of all of them. Always fresh, always delicious, and always brighten up my day :) Their Italian bread is really good too!

Service is okay here but the bakery goods are pretty good.
I’m a huge fan of their rainbow cookies — 3 thin cakelike layers of cookie layered with jam & sandwiched in between 2 layers of chocolate. Yum!

Best bread in Brooklyn love their rolls. Heard they make rolls for roll n roaster. The cookies, pastry, and cakes are awesome too.

I’m from philly my kids will only eat from T&D’s ;)

Unfortunately, this is the only Italian bakery in the area now that the much superior Vito’s has closed. This place is small and doesn’t have a great selection. I’ve been there on two occasions looking for sfogliatelle and they did not have it. I got some pignoli cookies and they were overdone and dry. Pignoli cookies are expensive and I expect a good cookie for that price. The bread is decent. The pastries are ok but nothing special. I’ve got to be honest, if there were another Italian bakery within a reasonable distance I would never go here again. The bakeries in Bensonhurst and Carol Gardens are so much better it makes this place laughable. Man, I miss Vito’s!

HELLA good cannolis! I wish we bought more but we were only in Brooklyn for a short time.
The moment you walk in the bakery, DAMN. Everything smells so good and looks so good too. Only complaint is that the older lady who works there doesn’t seem to like to greet customers when you walk in… then again it seems like people in New York don’t like to say hello period.
Good cannolis though! Crunchy shell and deliscious cream filling. It was still good 4 hours later. Hmmm… totally drooling right now just thinking about those cannolis!

I stopped by this place on the way back from Pizzeria Del Corso the other day, as I didn’t feel like overpaying for dessert. T&D has a nice selection of items for sure, but not everything looked that good or fresh. Maybe it was just that it was the end of the day, but for instance the pignoli cookies looked very old. I decided to play it safe and get like a third of a pound of rainbow cookies, while I spotted my friends for some filled pastries (forget what they were exactly). They loved their pastries, but I found the rainbow cookies to be pretty run of the mill. They were very thin, dry, and didn’t have that much flavor. They weren’t bad necessarily as I just wanted something, but not something worth bothering with next time as I have plenty of places that blow T&D out of the water.

Bakery is great! The pastries, the bread, the cookies are awesome. I also recommend buying the dough because one night I decided to make pizza and it came out delicious =)

I grew up eating Pastries @ T & D Bakery. Not because I’m a personal friend of the family owned bakery, it’s mainly due to the diversity of edible treats generated by this establishment that keeps me coming back for seconds (or thirds), sometimes on a daily basis.
The 800 square foot store front plays home to some of the most classic Italian sweets and baked goods. Consumers frequently pay visitation to T & D either for their freshly baked Italian Bread or their traditionally well balance Black & White cookies as well as Cannoli.
The owners Tina & Dominick are extremely friendly to customer inquiries and are willing to take customized orders for any special occasion.
My splurges at this bakery are of course the Black & White Cookies. Unlike the ones produced by Rocco’s, this subtle but, most importantly, well balance edible gives it’s consumer a moist base cake layer which is then consumed by the solidified chocolate and vanilla topping. If Black & White Cookies aren’t in your personal preference, try either the large Chocolate Chip Cookie or Rainbow Cookies. All produce a profound definition of their classical makes and provides for any consumer a satisfying treat.
When in the need for either a quick fix pastry or a cake for a special occasion, I’d highly recommend going to T & D’s Bakery.
