So I was searching for the perfect chocolate cake for Christmas and decided to track down a Brooklyn Blackout cake. I drove from Long Island to Greenpoint Brooklyn and would do it again in a heartbeat. I bought a 6" blackout cake for work and a 9 " one for home. I also decided to buy a 6" pistachio cardamom cake and some cookies. The cookies are the best ever. Not overly sweet, gentle tastes of what they're supposed to be(Ginger, peanut butter, etc) No overkill on these cookies except for the fact that eating one is almost like eating a meal. The Brooklyn Blackout cake-Half of the 6" cake I brought to work came home with me, not because it was disliked but because it's a huge, heavy cake. I seriously underestimated its size. Again no overpowering, overly sweet flavors. Subtle chocolate flavors with hints of stout and generous thick filling that is not too sweet. It is not a traditional chocolate cake. It is in a class of it's own. Now the pistachio cake which was , perhaps, my favorite. Again, a small sliver is enough to fill this 350 lber up. Cream cheese icing is fantastic and fresh and not too sweet. The cake itself was dense and mildly flavored. This is a very special cake from a very unique bakery with very friendly, helpful staff. I have never written a review this long before. However this place deserves all the praise it can get .

I work as a server down the street from here, and a few months ago I was given an extra cupcake from a table that brought some in for a birthday. Well, ever since then, I’ve come here several times a week for a little treat before my shift. Firstly, nicest staff ever. It’s an absolute joy to go in. Luca always makes me the most beautiful drinks. Hot chocolate cookie is my favorite. The carrot ginger seasonal cupcake is the cupcake of my dreams. :) thank you!

Wow! I knew Ovenly always makes a great dessert but when I had the lemon lavender cupcake, it was next level. Out of this world good. I love this location because they have a great spot to eat outdoors and it’s right near the park—plus the service is above and beyond here. Can’t recommend highly enough for any dessert lovers out there!!

First time visiting the Greenpoint location and it did not disappoint! The gluten free peanut butter cookies were even better than I remember and got to try to also delicious chocolate gluten free cookies. We took our treats and walked in the park right at the end of the block overlooking Manhattan - a wonderful Friday afternoon!

Loved the blackout cake and pistachio cardamom bread. Texture and flavors were on point. Very tasty and must try items. Friendly service. Would definitely recommend. I will go back to try other items. Pistachio cardamom cake was just delicious. Awesome flavor. You cannot get this spot on flavor anywhere else, overly is the best!
