Syrena Piekarnia

Syrena Bakery is one of the cheapest bakeries in Greenpoint, and with a variety of quality dishes, you get more than what you pay for. The girls there speak both Polish and English, and food comes fast, but sometimes orders can get mixed up. Food is delicious, and the bagels are very fluffy. Good selection of desserts.

My Polish great-grandmother sent my family sweet cheese Babka bread every year. She wouldn’t say where she sent it from and when she passed so did our time with the Babka bread. This year I decided to host for Easter and after lots of searching, I decided to buy Babka bread from Syrena Bakery. It is the closest thing I’ve found to the one from my childhood and I’m so grateful. Everyone working there is so kind and considerate. I’m ecstatic and feel excited to share the sweet treat with friends tomorrow! Thank you, Syrena!

I visit this amazing Polish bakery for all major holidays. I’m glad I live too far to be there more often because I’d be having cakes for breakfast!!! Just got this amazing rum cake (see photos) for Easter but it was so delicious, it didn’t make it to Easter. Lol. I strongly recommend their Polish donuts (pączki) and cheesecakes. They have a great variety of those to chose from. Best part is that their desserts aren’t overly sweet like the typical American desserts. Place is clean and staff friendly. No inside sitting area but there’s a bench outside where you can sit and enjoy your donut/coffee. Place gets very crowded during holidays so expect to wait in long lines, but, trust me, it’s worth it.

Yummy food. The donuts melt in your mouth, not in your hand (lol). But seriously their donuts taste better than Krispy Kreme to me. And they sell loaves of bread. I bought their sponge cake. It was so good. Their fruit cake is good too. Everything is freshly prepared. I would want their cakes for my wedding. I think that I saw they have linzer tart cookies, which are also a fav of mine. They also have bagels. I wanted to buy everything, but I didn’t have the cash on me at the time. Lol. The manager is very kind and sweet as well.
