My family has been going to Court Pastry since they opened in 1948. I remember going to my grandparents and there was always a box of Court Pastry goodies at the table. It is a staple and I hope never leaves the neighborhood and their pastries are still the best! ❤️
Lived on Smith & Degraw when first married, in 1984, and if I'm ever within striking distance I simply must stop here for a box of regina and twist mixed. This is THE place. The best.
While the service here is garbage, the Cannoli (4.5/5) is very good and probably one of the better if not the best cannolis in NYC. The small Sfogliatelle was nice also (3.5/5) but dry.
Cannoli (4.5/5) - Almost the perfect cannoli except the shell tasted a little bit burnt. The filing was perfect - creamy, milky ricotta with small little chocolate chips which wasn't overly sweet. Lots of places will mix cream in but not this place - the filing was decadent.
Sfogliatelle (3/5) - the outer shell was lovely nice and crispy and held its shape even when I cut into it, but while the filing is tasty and has great notes of orange, it's quite dry.
Also the service is ridiculous - the lady at the counter wouldn't accept my money because it had a small tear in it. If the bank can accept it, why can't you?
Try the grain pie - I had never heard of it before: it's moderately dense, moist, citrus-y, and exactly sweet enough, like a pound cake upgraded on all fronts. If this was in lower Manhattan there would be a line around the block.
Took an advice from an old friend and got myself a pound of Italian “everything” cookies plus several rainbow cookies on top. I brought them to thanksgiving dinner and were favored. I’m gonna get myself some soon.
I’m only rating their Italian ice which was such a welcome treat after walking around on a crazy hot day. I got the small lemon Italian ice and it was 💯. The picture was taken after a block of eating :) I love that old school small businesses are still a big part of the Court Street scene.
The real deal… the only proper way to judge an Italian bakery is via their Sfogliatella….5 Stars. Go before their kids are too lazy to take over the business….
Original Brooklyn as it gets.
One of the last of the orginal places left in carol gardens . I happen to believe the cheese cake here is like no other.
Light, fluffy and delicious. The pastry is simple but done just so right . Outstanding cannoli should be mentioned as well
Vanilla and chocolate cannoli. Amazing.
Good service, not that pricey, and incredible, straightforward Italian pastries. I'm probably biased cause this was my neighborhood bakery growing up, but they still make the best eclairs, cannolis, and lobster tails in my mind.
Always happy to see that it's still there.
I only had the cannolis and wow!! Blown away!! The texture is smooth and soft, taste PERFECT! This is what a real cannoli taste like.
Everything from the cannolis to the pasties to the cookies we had was absolutely delicious.
The staff were very helpful and their pastries tasted very very fresh.
