Ferrane Bakery — Restaurant in New York

The princess cake from this new Swedish bakery in Brooklyn Heights is probably my favorite dessert of 2025 so far.

If anyone remembers, IKEA used to serve princess cakes in their cafeteria, but they discontinued the cakes years ago. That’s why I was overjoyed to discover this new spot offering this classic swedish dessert, alongside other baked goods like cardamom buns.

＊Cardamom Bun $6 ＊Chocolate Coconut Bun $6 The cardamom bun is aromatic with distinct cardamom warmth. Texture wise, it is soft and lightly glazed, though flatter in shape compared to the ones I’ve had elsewhere.

The chocolate coconut bun is not too sweet, possibly made with dark cocoa? They also have cinnamon buns but I didn’t get them this time.

＊Princess Cake $9.5 * Unlike the traditional princess cake, which is served in a green marzipan dome, Ferrane’s version is more like a “tiramisu”, presented in a silver tall cup.

I had to take my daughter down the street just because we were denied the restroom. I don’t know if I’ll return nor recommend this place to anyone. Bad first experience… feeling very...

Have you ever wanted to get on a plane, fly to Stockholm, and drown your worldly sorrows in a pastry? Well, now you don’t have to get on a plane! Stepping into Ferrane Bakery feels like a mini vacation where “Kaffe und Kuchen” is apart of an afternoon schedule.

Locals who grew up here informed us that the location used to be a seedy former strip club. They would cross the street to avoid it. You would never be able to tell with the light wood clad interior and welcoming pastry case. The old photograph on the wall remains proof.

The pastries are very light and lovely. We came here for the princess cake specifically. My friend and I used to get the cake from IKEA before they stopped selling it so it’s been nice to see a revival at places from Radio Bakery to Ferrane.

I look forward to coming back as their menu and...
