I live in the neighborhood and get lunch here very often, always take bread home. food always fresh, good.
Love this place....Good People, Great Food Polish Soul Food Cures, Strengthens and Prevents
This is the place! Bakestone Bakery ( formerly Northside) is THE place for the best prepared home cooked comfort food in Greenpoint. In a rapidly gentrifying hood full of $36/lb cheese and charcuterie arrivistes it dire is nice to have a place nearby where you can take home full home cooked European meals for under $15/head. After hitting beautiful McGolrick Park you come here for a simple meal of fresh pierogis, Greenpoints best chicken and vegetable soups and sweet cheese and fruit filled blintzes. Their chicken cutlets, stuffed cabbage (meat or yummy vegetarian with kasha and mushroom sauce) and vegetable/potato babkas/puddings also terrific. D be another Gentrifying Tool. Support these great, independently owned, small local Polish businesses before they are all gone.
Favorite place in Greenpoint to pick up chicken soup! We usually get two quarts at a time. Their chicken soup is super flavorful and comforting especially when you're sick or cold!! Ordered a jelly donut and a variety of mini donuts. I wouldn't really call this a donut. The dough felt more like a bread... like a jelly bread. There wasn't a lot of jelly filling (as seen in the picture) I didn't even end up finishing the mini donuts.
I come here for their pastries. Each quarter slab comes to approximately $7. My favorite by far is the poppy seed layer cake! It's so moist, with layers of custard, poppy seed sponge, and topped with cherry jam(?) and chocolate ganache. Unfortunately they didn't sell them today, so I settled for their almond fantasy cake. It had a jelly-like texture, which was a bit strange. The almond marzipan flavor was spot on, with crunchy walnut bits and fruit mixed inside. Their poppyseed cheesecake and napoleonka are just average and not that memorable.
I was so happy to find Northside Bakery on my recent trip to Brooklyn. I came to the Greenpoint neighborhood specifically to find Polish food, books, and products, and hopefully have some opportunity to speak Polish in real situations. It's been a while since I was living in Warsaw, and I missed the quality Polish products I used to buy. Originally, I was looking for another store, but I saw Northside's window and thought "OHH, polish bakery and dishes for lunch!" It was perfect for me. I came in out of the rain, warmed up, ate some tasty treats, and had one of my most memorable times on my trip to NYC. I went in looking for something similar to czarny chleb, and the woman serving me suggested the whole rye with sunflower seeds - and this was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was so happy with it. The flavor, texture, and size were precisely what I had hoped for. Truly baked in the Polish style, I am unable to find anything like this here in Rochester. The bread was fresh and just perfect! Not very expensive in my opinion either. I also ordered some pierogi with mushroom and cabbage. I wanted to order more, but I wanted to keep within my calorie count too. There was SO much to choose from! The sweets looked so tempting, and the homemade surowki and hot dishes looked amazing. I had coffee - and that was good too! I sat for a while and peopled watched. I listened to the customers and staff talk in Polish, and just enjoyed my time there. When I decided to leave I decided to go back and order some buraczki to go. I finally got up the courage to speak Polish myself, and started up a conversation with another of the ladies and I really felt like they were warm and welcoming and caring and they love what they do. It makes it meaningful when the staff really care about what they do, and I was so happy to be able to share in that. I can't wait to make my way back to Brooklyn someday and visit again! Dziękuję!
