Little Buddy Biscuit Company

I am so thrilled they have relocated to Root Hill up Fourth Avenue. This was my absolute favorite bakery in New York. The ginger molasses cookie are my crack. But honestly everything they make is good, and Chef Pete is committed to making everything about the Little Buddy experience a pleasure. Can I haz a treat pleeez?

Great little place. The staff is so friendly and helpful.
Baked goods are delicious!

It’s a complete tragedy that this place closed — it was hands down my favorite bakery in New York. The lemon bars were amazing, and the chocolate chili cookies were masterpieces. I almost cried when I found out they went out of business, and I hope they reopen at some point.

Sad to hear that LBB is closing! Their crystalized-​ginger-​cookie-​strawberry-​ice-​cream-​sandwiches will truly be missed.

LBB («yeah you know me») has gone downhill since opening. The service is hit or miss depending on who is working the counter, and I’m completely turned off by their «discounted» (read: leftover shit from yesterday that didn’t sell) basket. Things are either really fresh and taste amazing, or they are obviously stale. I’m a bit bummed, because for a while, this place was the shit.

Great low prices, SUPER friendly staff at the counter and even the folks back in the baking area call out and say hello, ask if they can help or make a recommendation. I love that it’s actually in my neighborhood, everything I got was delicious, and they even let their LivingSocial discount customers get a gift certificate for the remaining amount from their initial $ 20 coupon after making one purchase. That’s pretty unprecedented in any of the discount coupon email lists.
I got the Deep Chocolate Chunk with Ground Chile and spice and a mini Molasses Spice with Crystallized Ginger Chunks cookies for my friend’s birthday, and he loved both.
I will be back for another ice cream cookie sandwich. I have an odd obsession with cold cookies (really, I put pretty much all cookies in the fridge, can’t help myself), and their chocolate chunk cookie with vanilla bean ice cream was incredible. I appreciated that it wasn’t the size of my head so I wasn’t sick after finishing it, and the $ 4.50 price for two cookies and ice cream seemed very reasonable to me.
Frankly, they’re TOO close to my apartment. I can only hope that as the weather continues to cool down, my ice cream cravings will diminish. Knowing that these ice cream cookie sandwiches are so accessible is a dangerous thing.

Pros: lots of vegan options, fabulous carrot cake
Cons: They sold us some stale food and some tasteless food. We bought a chocolate chip cookie that was at least day-​old and a layered mexican chocolate cake that was inedible. The cheddar scone was just ok, the scallion scone was tasteless. Nothing was worth the expense or calories except the carrot cake.

I’m sorry but this place is just not good.
Yes, it’s cute, and yes they have cookies. This should be a very easy equation, however, the vegan cookies are just plain bad. It’s really not that complicated to make them people. If you are going to make a vegan cookie, make sure that it tastes good, isn’t ugly and isn’t going to give you acid reflux from the insane amount of oil in it. Otherwise people will assume all vegan food is evil, and they will hate us all.

I like the location of this shop — right by my house. And I like most of the products in this shop. But, oh man, is it way overpriced for the quality.
I usually like to judge a bakery on whether or not they have products that I couldn’t make at home (or couldn’t make as well at home). Nothing in this shop really qualifies. I mean — it is all good. But it is all stuff you could make easily in your own kitchen using a recipe you found online. That’d be fine if it wasn’t so darn expensive.
The cheddar-​pepper biscuits are tasty. As are the caramel rolls (though they are tiny and pricey). I also enjoy their cookies, though I have gotten some stale ones lately.
Overall — a good place to stop if you are in a rush and don’t have time to bake at home and have some extra cash to burn.

Amazing croissants, amazing almond brioche (now sadly retired), great scones, great cookies, great biscuits… you get the point. Pretty much everything is amazing.

I am obsessed with this place.
Everything is mouth-​wateringly delicious. My favorites? The vegan breakfast cookie (I’m not vegan, it’s just that good), the cheddar pepper buttermilk biscuit (oh my GOD I’m drooling just writing this), and the raspberry muffins. I haven’t even tried everything though. Oh and their seasonal frosted sugar cookies are amazing. I’m kind of hateful that they’re not available year-​round. I also like the people who work there, especially the woman — she’s really funny and nice. Yes, it’s very expensive I think, but it’s good enough to be worth it, though not something I could afford every day (though neither could my hips.) One time I forgot to bring cash and the woman asked me if I wanted to go get cash and come back later, and I said ‘NO! I’ll just buy more stuff!” to be able to hit the $ 10.00 credit card minimum. GO HERE.

This is the best bakery to come to Park Slope in years. It is probably one of the best ‘American-​style’ bakeries in the city.
I have been going to Little Buddy since they opened and have never been disappointed. Their muffins (blueberry especially) and scones are amazing — and always consistent. Pete (the owner) bakes in small batches to control quality and the results speak for themselves. My favorite by far is the Almond Cream Brioche which he makes specially only on Wednesdays and weekends — make sure you get one straight out of the oven.
I’ve tried some of his vegan cookies and muffins and would be addicted if I couldn’t have my baked goods with butter and eggs.

For ages I would walk by this place and from the other side of the street, I swear I thought it was a dog biscuit store! Thankfully, I decided to clarify the matter and was pleasantly surprised to find it’s human food. The cookies are really quite incredible… chewy and gooey with real chocolate. I’m really looking forward to trying the cakes.

I’m not quite sure how this qualifies as Windsor Terrace (it’s really South Park Slope), but Little Buddy is totally worth your dollars and such a breath of fresh air to Fifth Avenue’s string of crappy bakeries.
It’s putting out the best baked good in the area, hands down, though when we first walked in, we were dubious. It was during the first weeks they had opened and the display cases weren’t chock full of the usual Italian pastries. Shame on us for assuming that’s what it would be. (If you want soggy cannolis and days-​old pignoli cookies, take the R train a few stops further to any Bay Ridge bakery.) Little Buddy is all about quality over quantity, and you can bet that whatever yummies are in the case were made lovingly that day with the best ingredients. Let’s explore:
Best cupcakes in town, fresh and moist and incredibly flavorful. We love their deep chocolate cherry cookies and brownies, which are best when shared, they are that decadent. They also do a great birthday cake: we’d ordered lemon buttercream with raspberry filling and It. Was. Amazing.
Have yet to try their weekend cinnamon buns, but I can’t imagine I’ll be disappointed. We started following them on Twitter for all their latest offerings. It’s a good way to get your mouth watering in the morning. And now that they are serving lunch –soup, sandwiches, frittatas and savory galettes — I have no reason to ever step foot in Naidre’s again. The quality and freshness of their baked goods is unparalleled in the area, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. And did I mention it’s actually clean inside?

This is not a biscuit company for your little canine buddy, but you probably already knew that.
So, on to the foooood. Let me tell you a story. They used to sell these savory scones at Whole Foods that I was in love with. Cheddar and chives. Blew my mind. Got them all the time at the Chelsea location — and haven’t been able to find them since. Savory scones, I hardly knew thee.
I’m happy to report that Little Buddy’s cheddar and pepper biscuit rules on a nearly equal basis. And throw in free samples of chocolate-​and-​cherry cookies and… wait, you’re still reading this? Get your ass there and thank me later.

Fluffy cupcakes, delicious muffins and tasty coffee! They also serve Jane’s Ice Cream. The ginger cookie was yummy too. My fave is the lemon poppyseed muffin and I really want to try the raspberry ginger muffinas well. Basically, I have really enjoyed everything I have tasted. No complaints! I’ve started coming here almost every day and they always seem to have different things. Can’t wait to try the cheddar and pepper biscuit. Nom nom nom!

Walking down Fifth yesterday and saw this new awning! Very excitied… anyone know when it is going to open? Will it be just a bakery, or a coffee shop? Can’t wait!
