Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery

Pretzel croissant was exquisite. Salads are hearty and healthy.
All their baked goods are top notch and worth the calories!

Used to love this place, but it’s got brown paper in the window and looks closed. Not sure if it’s coming back.

Love this neat little shop. Organic baked goods, snacks, granola, etc. What wows me is the Brooklyn Kambucha on tap. Wow!
We stop in whenever we are in the neighborhood.

I had a huge sweets craving and so I decided to come here since it was close and had good reviews. I had gotten the pretzel croissant, the chocolate cookie, and the peanut butter cookie. I would definitely recommend the pretzel croissant. It was soft and the saltiness on top of the slightly light sweet taste of the croissant made it so good.
The cookies were 2 for $ 5, or $ 3 each. I would say the peanut butter one is pretty good. Nicely soft and not overly peanut butter-​y. The chocolate one on the other had was a bit disappointing. It was really hard. I can see why it would have been really good in that if it was hot out of the oven, then it would be gooey with crispy outside. That would have been amazing.

You won’t be disappointed!
As office manager to a company full of opinions matched only by impeccable taste, it is easy for me to recommend Birdbath. Everyone in our office loves it! It is my go-​to place if I need some treats for meetings or celebrations. I always think of them first.
At this point, I have sampled everything from Birdbath. Ever single treat is delicious and memorable! My favorite is the pretzel croissant hands down-​you can’t go wrong with this order. The cookies are an office favorite!
Stop in and enjoy mouthwatering goodness!

$ 3.75 for a tasteless, dry scone and a rude cashier? No thanks. Don’t come here! There are much better pastries (for cheaper) and much better service elsewhere. :)

I stopped in here for coffee and spotted the baker’s muffin. Loved the muffin! It’s got walnuts, raisins, and more like a non-​sticky cinnamon roll than a muffin. Filling but not too sweet for breakfast. Coffee was good as well.

Great vegan chocolate chip cookies but I wish they had a wider selection. Why are they great? It has a very thin outer crispy layer, a soft and chewy inside and lots of chocolate chips evenly spread. What more can you ask for? $ 3 for one cookie or 2 for $ 5.

If you like dense pastries, then Birdbath will please you. I, on the other hand, was less than thrilled with their rendition of a chocolate croissant and the muffins that I bought. The flavors were good, don’t get me wrong, but it was so heavy that I couldn’t get past the texture. The selections were nice but pretty meager.

Most of the workers are super-​nice and the muffins, pre-​made entrees and kombucha are all delicious! I especially like that the Kombucha is consistently fizzy, because the $ 4 GS Kombucha bottles seem to be flat in every store (the problem used to be that they were over-​fermented and would burst like volcanoes upon opening – at least there was some life!).
Biker discount, too!

One of the most tasty chocolate chip cookies in nyc– $ 3 and it it huge! Everything else is good but the real reason to go here is for the chocolate chip cookie. One of the best in NYC.

Birdbath’s Chocolate Chip & Coconut Cookie = MOUTH ORGASM! If you don’t believe me, come stop by and try one. Once you eat it, you will be amazed how delicious they truly are!
I always pass by this bakery whenever I am around the St. Marks area, and I regret not coming here earlier. Funny thing was that my sister and I were craving for sweets after eating at Crif Dogs. With the help of my best friend, the Unilocal phone app, Birdbath came up on the list. After reading a few of the reviews raving how great their chocolate chip cookies were, we came here and the rest was history. Delish!!!

Cute little bakery storefront located near NYU. The place screams «sugar rush» the moment you walk through the door and smells like pure confectionary.
A friend brought me a Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie about 2 years ago and ever since then, I’ve been dying to come to the actual store itself. They were closing when I walked in so I made a quick purchase for a chocolate chip cookie ($ 3 for one, $ 5 for two), eager to repeat that same experience I had two years prior. It was quite disappointing — the cookie wasn’t moist and chewy and crumbles fell when I broke off my first bite. Have definitely had better elsewhere and won’t be so eager to make a return trip.

Arrive by bike and get a discount– what’s not to love?
I’ve been here a couple times and they’re always been friendly even when I’m being indecisive. I usually want their coffee and a pretzel croissant, which, by the way, is fantastic, but once I stopped by wanting hot food.
Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce, cheese, and pumpkin (?) seeds, among other herbs. I was surprised at the freshness of it– it’s something you’d get at home, albeit with some more cheese. It’s kind of pricey for a small container, but they try to pack it pretty tight to make it worth your money.
One of the freshest bakeries I’ve encountered– keep up the good work! :)

Stopped in for some cookies, since they were hanging in the window on little shelves. Who can resist a cookie that is literally right in the window?! yeah. that’s what I thought!
Cookies are 2 for $ 5, so I got my friend and I two cookies. One Chocolate Chip and one Dark Chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips in it. I broke them down the middle and we shared half of each. I would say the chocolate chip cookie was pretty tasty, although I’ve had better. It was very rich and sweet and although I am a huge sweets fanatic. I had a really hard time getting through only half of the cookie. The Dark Chocolate cookie though was definitely on point. It was sweet and broke apart very easily; the white chocolates gave the cookies just the right flavor.
I probably don’t feel persistent to specifically go back to this place if I were in NY but if in the area, I would stop in again for another cookie or two.

Pretty good cookies, but not too great.
Even though they are pretty large, I figured I had to get two, because it’s $ 3 each, but $ 5 for two, so I got the Chocolate Chip and the Peanut Butter.
The Chocolate Chip was way better, as it was extremely chocolatey and had a really good chewy texture. It was absolutely riddled with chocolate chips, and was nice and rich, which is always good.
The Peanut Butter Cookie was pretty disappointing — it was really crumbly and pretty dusty, so I would definitely skip this one.

Grabbed a damn tasty vegan chocolate chip cookie here today. Dairy free, but tastes homemade and buttery.
Will definitely come back here soon to try some of their food as well.

If one can say that Birdbath reinvigorates interest in City Bakery offerings, then credit is deserved where credit is due.
As I walk into a pastry shop that can easily be mistaken for a bird feed store, skepticism oozed all over. The discovery of Birdbath as an eco-​conscious option to City Bakery was quite the surprised. It was a welcomed one too. The cookies were absolutely delicious, but the Baker’s Muffin was unbelievable. A fantastic combo of powdered sugar and walnuts in a flaky crust. It is light on the palate, yet heavy in satisfaction. It might even be «healthy.»
After two visits, Birdbath has already proven to be a more satisfactory experience than most baked shops. I can only imagine what the feeling would be after trying the coffee and other breakfast items. Did I mention they are eco-​friendly also? Birdbath deserves two stars just for that alone.

Birdbath doesn’t actually have any birds, or baths, but it won’t make you want to give people the bird either. It’s a sustainable bakery that’s adorable and delicious.
The highlights:
— Food that’s made from organic materials, is regionally grown, and seasonal.
— The satellite bakeries are built from recycled, found, vintage, or sustainable materials.
— Birdbath is wind-​powered, and all of the food is delivered from the main kitchen in bicycle-​powered rickshaws.
— They give discounts to any customer who arrives by bike, or even skateboard (and scooters may count as well).
What to eat:
— Pretzel croissant… they said this was a favorite item and they were right! It was crispy and salty on the outside and delicate flakey yumminess on the inside.
— Goat cheese and caramel crostini. This one is slap-​your-​mama-​good! From what I could tell, it’s a crispy crostini bread, slathered in spicy caramel, black sesame seeds, and a generous dollop of fluffy goat cheese.
