Big Booty Bread Co

found this place just walking by. The goods looked fresh, unique and there were tables available. The interior was clean & small. The guy behind the counter (who, after visiting the website, appears to be the owner) was anything but cordial. Not even decent. Not even approaching friendly. There was no one in the place, it was late morning and he couldn't muster a smile or make me feel appreciated (business wise)? He immediately went back to texting after he slammed my order down.The cheesecake brownie was average and the house coffee was luke warm and tasteless. I would have been better off at Starbucks. Like the rest of that neighborhood this place lacks the character it once had....the old ersatz donut joint that was once across the street on 23rd/8th, that the junkies hung out in, was better than this joint. Pros: tables Cons: customer service more

The New York cake and cupcake competition is fierce and in my opinion, Big Booty takes the cake prize. One cake I ordered was a luscious German Chocolate cake. A perfect version of the classic. They also sell single slices of all their cakes and many cupcake versions. Other sublime offerings include coconut cake and Red Velvet, and Dulce de Leche cupcakes to die for. The service and prices are also incredible. If you are like me and are tired of dry cupcakes with grease icing from those other places...try Big Booty...the cake is light, flavorful and moist with heavenly icing. Pros: Fresh, delicious baked goods Cons: They run out of red velvet sometimes more

I just looove Big Booty. The owner is so incredibly nice and the desserts (esp the dulche de leche cupcakes) and cheese rolls are to die for. I have friends that are all allergic to gluten and they swear that big bootys rolls are the best out there! And I have never tried a cupcake as good and original as the dulche de leche. Mmmm. And who wouldnt love a company called big booty?! Their t-shirts are hysterical! Its my fave neighborhood spot! Pros: gluten-free products, dulche de leche cupcakes, flan, bread pudding, coffee Cons: they arent open on sunday....sigh more

A cupcake maniac, I have been trying out all the trendy spots in the neighborhood, searching for that perfect blend of moist cake and flavorful but not-too-sweet frosting. I have never been satisfied with the fare from places like Billy's and Magnolia, finding them temptingly pretty, but often dry and devoid of buttery flavor. Pros: food, staff Cons: space more

I've had only the red velvet cupcake from this place. And it was YUM O (as Rachel ray likes to say....) Someone bought it for me so i've never actually been there, but I will in the future. more

Don't listen to the editorial review about the yucca-flour cheese rocks--crusty on the outside and amazingly soft, bready, and cheesy on the inside, the rocks are addictive and, in my opinion, the jewel of the shop. (Also, along with the softer cheese buns, they are gluten-free.) They're amazing fresh out of the oven and still very good cold (though the lovely staff is always happy to warm one up for you). I have gotten multiple friends addicted to them. Pros: cheese rocks, cupcakes, rice pudding, bread, great service Cons: cheese rocks are so addictive, sometimes I have to force myself to stay away more

The bakery that has my friends rolling around in cake ecstasy is Big Booty Bread Company at 261 W. 23rd St. between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. Pros: Perfect home-style cupcakes, great service with a smile, Cons: I can't eat cake every day more

My boyfriends birthday is May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) so we decided to throw a Latin themed birthday party this year. Any of you who live in the city know how difficult it is to find a Latin bakery in Manhattan below 110 Street. I had read some things about Big Booty and decided to give them a call. I think that I spoke to everyone in that bakery at one point or another during the process. They were all so wonderful and accomodating, and willing to do whatever I needed. The result was an outstanding tres leches cake that we just finished this week. Amazing arepas; both sweet and savory and the most outrageous red velvet cupcakes anyone had ever tasted. If you live in New York and you are looking for a good bakery I could not recommend this place enough. Pros: The whole experience was perfect!!! more

doesn't look like much passing when passing by but appearance belies everything in this case. first ""booty buns"" will catch your eye -- substantial yet strangly tender breads (almost like portugese sweetbreads) filled with dulce de leche, nutella, guava, etc...and dusted in sugar. FABULOUS! then you spot a large assortment of other savory and sweet baked goods ( cheese rocks, insanely good fresh ground corn patty/fritter thing, scones, etc..). next come cakes so moist and rich looking it is sick. and just when you think there could be no more: you spy the sandwiches. oh my. the bread is fresh and thick cut. fillings fresh and tasty. all so cheap. all DIVINE. Pros: fabulous food, savory, sweet, cheap, friendly more
