Almondine Bakery
Website.Almondine Bakery
Address. 85 Water St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Opened in 2004, French baker Herve Poussot made it his mission to bring classic French goods to the Big Apple. Lucky for us, he did just that! Today, the displays at Almondine Bakery are filled with colorful treats that will leave you licking your lips trying to decide which baked good is the one.
The DUMBO bakery is perfectly petite, and the atmosphere is cozy with a laid-back vibe to it. One thing you can never complain about here is the freshness. Almondine prioritizes quality, and serving fresh baked goods and breads is of the utmost importance.
All your cravings are covered here, whether you want a sweet treat or a fresh baguette sandwich. If you need some guidance, the. Bold statement, I know. but once you try the buttery, flakey layers, you’ll quickly join the hype.
Locals Tip. It’s not uncommon for goods to sell out by noon, try visiting on a weekday or early in the morning.
Jacques Torres Chocolate

For over 20 years, Jacques Torres has left his mark on the chocolate world and has created treats and drinks that could not be replicated no matter how hard you tried. Fortunately for us, there’s a location in DUMBO! As soon as you walk into the shop, you are met by the rich aroma of chocolate, and your eyes are instantly drawn to the mouthwatering sweets.

Local tip. A little secret I picked up from a local. the back patio is where the magic happens. Skip the main room.
Burrow
Website.Burrow
Address. 68 Jay St #119, Brooklyn, NY 11201
One of the most adorable bakeries in DUMBO also happens to be one of the most underrated. Burrow is a Japanese bakery hidden in an office building. The teeny tiny bakery is only open four days a week (Tuesday through Friday) for four hours daily. But trust me when I tell you that’s all the time they need to sell out of their divine treats.
All pastries are handmade by a former pastry chef who worked at The Modern at MoMa (a two Michelin-starred restaurant) and Plaza Hotel. All this to say, the expertise and innovation are second to none, and you’ll be eating treats created by a skilled professional. Expect to find mouth-watering baked goods and impressive cakes at this DUMBO bakery. If at all helpful, the cream puffs and pistachio mousse cake are two items I never leave without.
P.S. Burrow is located a short one minute walk away from BEEPUBLIC, one of the best coffee shops in DUMBO. Take your treat to-go and pair it with an amazing cup of coffee.
If you only have time for one stop, make it this one.
Dawn’s Til Dusk
Website.Dawn’s Til Dusk
Address. 33 Main St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
So you just walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and need a spot to rest your legs and refuel? I got you covered!
Dawn’s Til Dusk (also known as just Dawn’s) is one of the cutest DUMBO bakeries in the neighborhood. It’s located just a short walk away from the Brooklyn Bridge, so it’s a perfect pit stop after the trek. The charming corner lot creates the ideal scene for people watching while nursing a latte.
It also doesn’t hurt that Dawn’s has a small selection of irresistible baked goods, including mouthwatering cookies. There’s a cookie called the Judith. It’s a coconut toffee mix that’s so good you forget that it’s vegan.
It’s not uncommon for this adorable DUMBO bakery to boast a line. Between the picturesque building and laid-back vibes, it’s not hard to see why it’s such a popular spot for a quick treat.
Locals Tip. This DUMBO bakery is a block over from the iconic picture spot in front of the famous Manhattan bridge! Just head to the cross section between Washington Street and Front Street.
Le French Tart Deli
Address. 44 Henry St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
When Paris on your mind, but your wallet has different feelings, you make a beeline to Le French Tart Deli. The small DUMBO bakery transports you to Europe the second you walk through the door. Selling many French-related items, you can pick up all your cheese, baguette, and crepe needs here.
But the highlight of this Parisian bakery is the mouth-watering croissants. Churning out one of the flakiest, butteriest, delicious-iest (let’s pretend that’s a word) croissants in all of NYC, consider visiting non-negotiable. But don’t just stop at the croissant; the case is chock-full of tantalizing treats. You can’t go wrong ordering anything from this DUMBO bakery. I mean, seriously, the smell of baking butter — it doesn’t get better than this.
Unpopular opinion. Hot take. you don’t need to go to Paris for world-class pastries. just visit these NYC bakeries.
Clinton Street Baking Co. (at the Time Out Market)
Website. Clinton Street Baking Co.
Address. 55 Water St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
This one is a bit controversial since Clinton Street Baking Co. (located inside the Time Out Market). However, with that said, the biscuits here warrant a spot on our list of DUMBO bakeries. Served warm with a side of butter and jam, the biscuits are exactly what you want them to be. The inside is doughy and soft, with a slightly crunchy exterior.
Also worth mentioning, the blueberry pancakes are truly some of the best in the whole city. But if biscuits or pancakes don’t do it for you, there is a small selection of baked goods to choose from as well. You can expect to find cakes, cookies, and pies sold by the slice at this DUMBO bakery.
