Crema's Take

This rustic Williamsburg bakery is a genuine article—you'll catch glimpses of fresh breads being delivered throughout the day, and the smell of warm pastries hits you the moment you walk in. The exposed brick and weathered wood seating creates that perfect third-place energy where you can linger over genuinely fresh coffee and pastries, or grab something quick on your way, and it's the kind of neighborhood spot that draws families and regulars back again and again.

Martha’s bakery boasts a very sweet and pretty much an entirely dessert menu. The vibe was superb with a well designed seating area complete with rustic wood and exposed brick walls with comfortable countryside like furniture and cozy lighting. All the desserts are on display for patrons to peruse. You can order counter side or be served by their delightful staff at a table. We ordered an American coffee which unfortunately was just mediocre and a Mexican hot chocolate which was excellent. We also ordered an eclair which was good, I enjoyed the plentiful eclair custard but the chocolate ganache on top was pretty basic and the choux pastry shell was just okay but it held its own coming out of the display fridge. The cannoli we ordered was just okay overall, nothing to really write home about. Last but not least were the macarons which were superb! They had the perfect blend of texture with gentle crisp outside and a soft and slightly chewy inside. They were slightly larger than average macarons and had good appearance, all of which was outdone by a delicious balance of flavor and sweetness that a good macaron should have. Good service, a good atmosphere and the macarons help push this review to 4 stars and prompt a future visit back to try some of their cakes next time. Would be nice to see better coffee served and perhaps some more neutral or salty food options on the menu.

5 Stars: A Williamsburg Staple for Fresh Bites and Warm Vibes I've been hooked on Martha's Country Bakery in Williamsburg (shoutout to the Bedford Ave spot) for years—it's my go-to for that perfect mix of nostalgia and quality. Every visit delivers: the donuts are always fresh, fluffy, and downright addictive (dunking one in their smooth, robust coffee is pure bliss). The staff? Super friendly and genuine, making you feel like a regular even on a quick stop. From custom cakes for special occasions to everyday treats like pies and pastries, everything tastes homemade without the fuss. Prices are fair for Brooklyn, and the cozy atmosphere keeps me coming back. If you're in the neighborhood, skip the chains—Martha's nails that authentic bakery charm every time. Highly recommend!

I really love the coffee and pastries at Martha’s Country Bakery — they’re always fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. However, the service this time just wasn’t as good as I expected. The staff didn’t seem very attentive, and it took longer than usual to get what I ordered. I still enjoy the place, but I hope the service can improve to match the quality of the food.

Wow — this place is a real bakery! I visited early in the morning as one of the first customers, and I could see freshly made breads being delivered out to other locations — it gave me a lot of trust in their quality. Every pastry looked amazing and was filled generously for the price. I ordered the blueberry pie, and it was packed with real blueberries — not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced. You can tell this bakery takes pride in doing things honestly and with care. So many delicious pastries to choose from — I highly recommend this place!

I’ve walked by this place a few times but never went in. Decided to walk in with my son and WOW we were instantly hit by the smell of all the baked goods and the pleasant atmosphere of the place. Everyone who worked there was so nice and welcoming. Everything behind the glass looked so good. We tried 3 different slices of cake plus some gelato. At first I thought it was pricey but after eating, it was all worth the price. This will be a “go to” every time I’m in Williamsburg. Loved it. Give it a try and you will too.
