What a devoted local following! We visited while passing through town and the line was out the door. Their bacon egg and cheese sandwich is pillowy soft & steamy, and their donuts are similarly tender. Boston cream filling was silky and tasted homemade. They have shelves neatly stocked with floury blond sliced loaves and rolls, and their pastry case is full of beautiful cupcakes and a handful of other pastry that I imagine are also good quality. While the line moved a bit slowly, coffee was just okay, and the donut selection was small, they are clearly well-established and serving patrons what they want. Cute place too- a giant dough trough table, huge classic sign and original photos give it a nostalgic touch. The biblical phrases on signs and walls aren’t my cup of tea but it didn’t make my sandwich any less enjoyable!Parking: Tons of parking, especially early morning.

10.29.23 I'm not from this area but stopped randomly and wow! The bacon and egg breakfast sandwich was soft and warm, yum. The little $3 rolls are soft and really good. We also tried a bunch of donuts. The apple filled one was fantastic. The coffee and atmosphere were ok. Service was fabulous with a friendly and perky staff. Lots of parking too. My only complaint is the bathroom. It needs to be updated and cleaned. I can't wait to try other pastries next time.

A local bakery with fresh bread and pie plus donuts, that are WAY TOO GOOD, It's always better to patronize your local shops. Especially when they have such fantastic and delicious items.I've yet to have anything that was absolutely perfect. The pies are a bit pricey, but well worth it

Get there early or they run out of donuts you might want. Brooklyn Baking in Waterbury has great tasting donuts. Boston creme has tasty filling and just the right amount of donut around it. Glazed donuts are awesome. Jelly donut was great also. Definitely worth going here for donuts!

Must try their square donuts, so light and airy. The glazed donut is too sweet for my taste, however, the cinnamon sugar donut is perfect!

Found this place online and the reviews looked good so I decided to check it out. The staff were super friendly! The Apple filled donuts are amazing and I should of ordered more then 2. The cannolis are probably the bests ones I ever had. Let’s just say I will be returning .

This place is amazing! Everything from pastry to bread and it’s all fantastic. They have a few places to sit and they do have coffee.Easy off/Easy on if your traveling I-84. Definitely worth a stop. Just check the hours before you go.I’d you want a great hot dog first, go to Frankie’s next door and then to Brooklyn Bakery for a treat.

Rating it at 3.8 🌟 So my sis takes me here claiming their donuts are really good, also mentioning their glazed donuts taste like those of Krispy Kreme. Alright I'm drawing the line cause I've convinced myself Krispy Kreme's glazed donuts have crack in them because they are addicting - you just can't have one.Ok.. I tried the glazed and she was spot on. The donuts were soft and just the right amount of sweetness. I'm a Boston Creme donut fan so I ordered it as well. I was somewhat disappointed because it wasn't as soft and the creme really didn't have much flavor. Sadly, I dare to say that it could've been sitting for a whole day as it didn't taste as fresh as the glazed one. The chocolate topping tasted good and probably stole some of the creme's thunder, but I would say the creme still needed alittle more flavor. They are worth another visit as I hear the apple filled donut is popular as well. I'm rooting for them to have a better Boston Creme donut next time I'm in town (*cough* in May *cough*)

With no exaggeration, this is literally the best donut I’ve ever eaten. I’ve been to many states and at this point still have not had a better doughnut. They are a full-service bakery including breakfast sandwich options. The staff is very friendly and very nice. You are able to put your order in the day before and skip the line when you pick up the order. The prices are very low. A dozen donuts here is cheaper than Dunkin’ Donuts, and the quality is much better. My only issue is that I can’t rate Brooklyn bakery any higher. Maybe someday when I create my own rating company, until then a five is all I can do. In case you can’t tell, stop in Brooklyn bakery if you are in the Waterbury area or traveling on 84.

Great local neighborhood bakery in close proximity to the Highway with plenty of returning customers as well as new faces popping in and out of the business. Service was quick and friendly. The menu features drinks, grill items, breads, pastries, and donuts.A half dozen donuts is currently priced at $6.50 which is very reasonable for a bakery continuously bringing out fresh trays of pastries throughout the morning.The donuts themselves were an average size and fluffy on the inside. The dough leaned slightly savory rather than sweet. I was able to detect a subtle flavor of egg and yeast more-so when eating the Cinnamon Sugar donut.Donuts:-Cinnamon Sugar was okay. I usually enjoy donuts on their own but I recommend pairing this one with a beverage. It would be interesting if powdered cinnamon were incorporated into the dough in addition to the existing exterior coating or if there were a donut with a cinnamon sugar streusel topping.-Bavarian was coated with powdered sugar and the filling although silky, left me wanting more of the classic vanillin notes of a crème bavarois.-Glazed was pretty good aside from a couple areas around the hole of the donut on the underside which had pooled with fry oil and glaze (did not make for the most pleasant bites).Liked (from most to least):1. Glazed2. Bavarian3. Cinnamon Sugar*Forgive me, I have been spoiled by Fany Gerson’s creations at Fan Fan Doughnuts.

Very simple homemade yeast donut options, but all very good. They may not look like much, but these donuts are high quality and well baked.

Tried the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, glazed donut and Cinnamon sugar donut, carrot cake cupcake, eclair, and cream horn.The food was solid and the Cinnamon sugar donut was my favorite. I wasn't sure what donuts the bakery would have, but I remember seeing glazed, Jelly filled, powdered, lemon filled, maple bacon and Fruity pebbles donuts. Check out their sandwiches or baked goods!Lovely bakery and very helpful and patient staff. The bakery is located in a plaza, so plenty of parking is available.

Summary: A Waterbury landmark serving exquisite baked goods and the best donuts in CT. The donuts are the main attraction and are known for their perfect chewy and soft texture. All flavors of donuts are superb but the cinnamon apple filled donut separates itself from the rest of the pack. Patrons will be left with tremendous satisfaction and inability to consume any other donuts again.Must Try: Donuts - especially cinnamon apple filled and glazed.Also recommended: Breakfast sandwiches and cupcakes.Avoid: N/A⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Outstanding, worth a special excursion

Bought a half dozen bag of luscious rolls here in June kind of half Portuguese and half sandwich in size and shape, and a loaf of sliced Italian bread that has a more chewy texture. Both are so fresh!#More scrumptious delicacies from this stellar bakery over Mother's Day weekend. We bought two apple and two cherry danish, a large carrot cake cupcake, six regular cupcakes, two doughnuts and a bag of sandwich rolls to go. Most of these were gifts. Our server recommended the strawberry shortcake cupcakes. They're unbelievable.#Visited this historic and beloved local Waterbury bakery the other day. Amazing selection of fresh baked breads and pastries. Egg, grilled cheese and BLT sandwiches are also available for diners.

😳 I’m speechless as to how GOOD these donuts are. It’s definitely a diamond in the rough! Small little mom and pop shop that makes fresh breads, bakery sandwiches, pastry and donuts right in back, which get carried out by the DOZENS! Get them while they were warm and you won’t be disappointed 🍩 😋 🥖

Best glazed donuts I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. Also super love how they take the donut hole and just stick it to the side of the donut. Do yourself a favor and gain a few pounds for them, I know I did.

Sweet. Jesus.I had to try this place out after hearing all the hype and it didn't disappoint! What you hear is true! This is quite possibly the best donut in the world!Tucked back in a plaza on Waterbury, it's a hidden gem. Walking in, there's a classic bakery feel with the smell to match. Fresh breads, pastries etc... then... DONUTS!I started with 1, which turned to 2 and then a dozen for the ride home. I was back 2 days later for a few dozen to drop off at my kids school.I can't eat a normal donut anymore. Dunkin, Starbucks... all the trendy donut spots can't touch Brooklyn Bakery. It's as if God himself came down and handed this donut to the owner and said "If you make it they will come". Wait... that's a baseball movie. I digress.Trust me. Try the donut. You won't be disappointed.(Mandy, Sonia... This means you next time youre in Stamford!)

AnAn independent lil bakery pumping out an assortment of freshly baked goodies that will please everyone in the group. Everything has that baked from scratch taste and feel. Their donuts are to die for and if time it just right n get them fresh out the fryer hot they are pure sin! All their desserts are amazing and their fruit fillings taste fresh and natural. A gem in CT for sure!...the staff can get overwhelmed at times with volume so double check orders and have patience during peak hours.

They always have the BEST fresh baked goods! I ordered a day ahead of time and picked it up at 7 AM for my work meeting! Only issue was one breakfast sandwich missing, and they charged me for it, but when I called back to let them know, they refunded me the money! Will DEFINITELY be returning!
