Bring your laughter and your stories too — We’re gonna celebrate good times with you.
— Inspired by Kool & The Gang’s ‘Celebration’
Life’s made of all kinds of moments.
Birthdays get candles, weddings get tiers… so, why not celebrate the F train actually showing up on time with a macaron or a chocolate-chunk cookie?
Welcome to the sweet side of the borough: cakes and cookies baked fresh, by hand, with heart—no fuss, no shortcuts, holding it down in Park Slope at 264 5th Avenue & Gowanus at 530 3rd Avenue.
Special Order Cakes
On point. On time. No exceptions.
Everyday moments – the ones that life are made of – may not come with confetti but have as many reasons to celebrate as the big ones.
We Feel as If We’ve Won the Lottery.
Brooklyn is hands down the best place to be — an even better place than where we grew up – and it’s the real reason we created our boutique bakeshop here.
We’re infatuated with the way Brooklynites love food, their crush on flavor and details that go hand in hand with small batch made-by-hand cakes and cookies.
It’s how we bake. Always from scratch. Always by hand.
“The hand expresses what the heart already knows.” — Samuel Mockbee, American Artist & Architect

EXCELLENT Based on 535 reviews Posted on Kosta Rica At the time when I visited they only had few cakes available. Too few in my opinion!.. For a bakery with a high rating it’s not up to par. In order to get a cake that’s readily available elsewhere, you have to order online and wait at least two days…Posted on Ahni Nichole They did an awesome job. They created a custom cake, and it also tasted very good. would definitely order from them again.Posted on Zev Levit-Ramos I’ve been to Buttermilk Bakeshop for birthdays, rainy-day pick-me-ups, and random “we deserve a treat” moments, and it hits every single time. They keep dreaming up magical concoctions and confectionaries that somehow feel both nostalgic and brand new. The new space is such a glow-up from the old window stall, since now you can actually like....go inside hahaha. It’s bright, it’s comfy, and it just smells like happiness. On my latest visit I tried the pumpkin spice cookie. I normally avoid anything pumpkin spice, yet my girlfriend and I basically inhaled it. Super delicious, soft in the middle. I can't believe I enjoyed pumpkin spice. The folks behind the counter are always kind and patient. I’ve loved their cupcakes, tiramisu in a cup, and plenty of cookies, and the list keeps growing. Perfect for celebrations or a “just because” treat. 5/5. Treat yo self.Posted on Antonina Madias Buttermilk Bake Shop made us a gorgeous dairy-free cake for our daughter’s 2nd birthday. We shared a photo of her party invitation and they really brought it to life. The cake was delicious and loved by everyone! We couldn’t be more grateful an highly recommend for all events - big and small.Posted on Emilia Naranjo DELICIOUS TREATS!!!! And exceptional customer service— you all went above and beyond to make my friend’s birthday special! Thank you!!!! 🩷🧁🩷Posted on Camille J. The wedding slice cake was great-simple, elegant, and so delicious! Exactly what we wanted for our special day. The flavor didn’t disappoint. For an extra touch to the design, I requested fresh flowers and it was so clean and beautiful. Thank you for making something so lovely and stress-free. Highly recommend!Posted on Michelle Arsenault Exceptional service, outstanding craftsmanship, delicious cake. So happy we chose Buttermilk for my daughter’s birthday cake.
