Burrow
Small patisserie inside 68 Jay St lobby but worth the effort to find it. Because they are so small their cookies and cakes are extremely fresh–more than other businesses in Dumbo even. Some of my faves are the hazelnut cookies, madeleines and maple cream puff. Def make a trip to Dumbo for these fresh sweets!
Finally got to try this place after discovering it on Instagram. Extremely adorable shop! I bought a pistachio cake and a snow ball. All their items here are too cute to be eaten. I thought some of the items were toys. They have a huge assortment of cookies. Definitely a take out and to go place.
the snow ball is delicious, it made me reminiscent of the almond cookies I had in Macau. Super yummy and lightly powered with sugar.
I successfully brought the pistachio cake on my flight to Minnesota and shared it with my boyfriend. It was fantastic! It was like a mousse cake but it was light and creamy and not too heavy. I didn't feel guilty or gluttonous while eating it. Thanks to Burrow for providing an ice pack with my cake to keep it at perfect temperature.
Definitely coming back to try the rest of their goodies, such an underrated and delicious secret this shop is!
Lapin purchased a couple of treats for me the other day. He gotten a couple of scones and two chocolate mousse cake (he also got a cookie but ate that without sharing -.-). The blueberry scone was a bit dry and tasted like Pillsbury biscuits and the mousse cake was fluffy but kind of bland. The treats are a bit small and bland for the price. If you like soft and subtle tastes (not too sugary) this might appeal to you more than it did to me.
Lots of places in NY get hailed as "hidden gems," but Burrow really earns the moniker. There's only a small and very discrete sign in front of the apartment building whose lobby Burrow calls home. Much like the Weasleys' home of the same name in the Harry Potter books, you have to *know* what you're looking for ahead of time when it comes to his cozy little spot. Once you've found it, you'll be greeted by the friendly proprietor ready to make you a warm drink or serve up a pasty from their mystical case of offerings. I didn't sample any beverages myself, but thoroughly enjoyed my double chocolate chip cookie that was equal parts chewy and crisp. Would definitely come back to try other goodies they have to offer, and to mystify my friends with what a "hidden" New York spot *actually* looks like 🙂
What a special place – you can tell everything here is made with as much love as talent. The owner is a real artist.
The chocolate ganache cookie is the best cookie I've had in recent memory. The shortbread is light, buttery, and a touch salty while the ganache is silky and barely sweet. It's perfectly balanced. If you like subtle desserts that don't punch you in the face with sugar, you'll probably like it here.
Cookies are $2 each, cakes are around $5 a slice. Very reasonable for such unique and delicious desserts.
I hope Burrow stays around a while.
