I have been getting my cakes from La Gran Via since my son turned one, he just turned 13 and still come from Westchester to Brooklyn to get my cakes. Anything your imagination comes up with they will do and if sometimes it’s not possible the way you want it, they come up with creative ways to give you the cake of your dreams. Not only are the cakes aesthetically pleasing, they are DELICIOUS!! I always get tres leche with guava filling and sometimes, when I am feeling extra indulgent, I get dulce de leche as well. I will never stop going to La Gran Via, they have been a part of all of our special celebrations.

Ordered a tres leches cake for a birthday party and it was absolutely delicious! The cake was moist without being drowned in cream and it came with a soft dulce filling. The icing was very soft and the cake held up well for a few days in the fridge since I couldn’t resist taking leftovers. La Gran Via has been a neighborhood staple for a while and always recommend it. On a separate note, I find it a little odd that after a certain time at night, if you go to the bakery, you have to order through an intercom and make the food/money exchange through a slot. I assume this has to do with crime they’ve experienced but this is the only place that does it from what I can tell. I guess just something to be aware of if you plan on going for a late night snack.

I cannot thank La Gran Via Bakery enough for their exceptional service and consistently outstanding custom cakes over the past decade. Roy, Betsy, and the entire team are true artists who put their heart and soul into every cake, making each celebration extra special. For my baby shower on 11/10/24, they went above and beyond with a beautiful, custom-designed cake that was both visually stunning and delicious. Every detail was executed perfectly, and it was exactly what I had envisioned — if not better. Their dedication to quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction shines through every time, which is why I’ve trusted them for over ten years. Thank you, Roy, Betsy, and the team at La Gran Via Bakery, for making every occasion memorable and for always delivering more than expected. If you’re in Brooklyn and need a custom cake that wows both in taste and presentation, look no further. La Gran Via Bakery is simply the best!

Delicious bakery with a pretty good amount of products genuinely there have been a couple things that are hit or miss for the most part has wonderful stuff. The employees are nice downside is that their phone seems to disconnect often so I can’t call to ask questions.

I recently visited this bakery to pick up a pound of rainbow cookies for my husband’s birthday. Unfortunately, out of the entire pound, only three cookies were fresh—the rest were stale. I was very disappointed, especially since I couldn’t go back as I don’t live nearby. I want to note that my family frequently buys from this bakery and has never had any issues before, so I believe this was just a one-time problem. I have my receipt if anyone questions my visit. I’m giving them three stars. The staff at the front were very nice and helpful, and normally their pastries are quite good. It seems this time the fresh cookies were mixed with older ones, and I ended up having to throw out the entire box, which was a waste of money. I hope they take this feedback seriously so others don’t encounter the same problem.

I was shocked when I walked in and the loaf o bread is now $ 2.50. I understand the cost of ingredient items are pricey and even increase in employee salaries - bread made with 6 or 7 simple ingredients esp as a staple neighborhood bakery should know which items should remain at reasonable price. Keep customers with returning to the original size of the loaf and reducing pricing. This may motivated me to make my own bread! Thanks!

Although the food is delicious, the cashiers are very disrespectful especially the blonde. Every time I go to purchase from there they always seem to have an attitude. Today the blonde pushed my limit, she sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes at me for simply asking how much again because I couldn’t hear her. It’s always her, she seems to not want this job, she always prioritizes other things rather than the client. If people that act in this manner continue to work there I will no longer be going to the bakery. It’s sad to see such a good place go to waste.

I got charged for $52 plus tax for an 8 person cake that looked pretty on the outside but tasted gross. It had coconut flavor (which I did not ask for.) I do not recommend this place. Also cake was hard as a rock 1 day later. I ordered dulce de leche cake and it tasted like coconut cake (wanted plain cake) with dulce de leche. What a let down from what I thought would be great based on reviews on google. 😩 also this was for my dads 60th birthday.

Have been a repeat customer for years but the quality has gone so badly. I don’t expect any cake I’m buying from a bakery to taste as if it was from a box. The most recent custom cake was like a rock when we used a knife to take off the icing we saw the outside was burnt and brown/blackish. There was also a different flavor that we didn’t ask for annd couldn’t pin point what it was and it was stale which I’m not sure why. Overall it was a waste of our money for a very special occasion.

As for pastries, the place is good. The only issue was food. We ordered tacos, the tortillas were pretty bad, they were extremely hard. We ordered tortas aswell, the milanesa de pollo wasn't even milanesa de pollo, it was chicken nuggets. CHICKEN NUGGETS! The fries didn't have season and seemed overfried. Overall not a pleasant experience.
