Flourbud Bakery — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

I can't begin to say how much I LOVE going to Flourbud Bakery. First off, I’m a savory girl—I lean hard into rich, salty-sweet flavors, so this review is definitely for the savory lovers out there. The seasonal sandwiches are always such a creative blend of ingredients. Some favorites: the apple cheddar on seeded sourdough (so satisfying), the menu classic burrata baguette, my current obsession—the spinach artichoke grilled cheese—and my partner’s go-to, the broccolini camembert with caramelized onions.

Any slice of quiche is a winner—always creamy, rich, and perfect with a side of mixed greens when I take it home. The savory puff pastries are also top tier.

On the sweet side, I’ve got a few ride-or-die faves: the pistachio croissant, the carrot cake (if you spot a slice in the case, grab it), the chocolate ganache tart, and my absolute favorite—the rye chocolate chip toffee cookies. They’re unreal.

But honestly? One of the best parts of the experience is chatting with the women behind the counter and in the kitchen. Cristina the owner is warm, and hilarious, and full of good energy— and Kiki and Janessa the ladies in front of house. I could hang out all day just talking with them. It’s that kind of place: delicious food and good vibes that make you want to stay a little longer. And you can because they have small cafe tables both inside...

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Flourbud Bakery during a recent bike ride, and it was a truly delightful experience. The staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment we walked in. The coffee was brewed fresh and served piping hot — a detail I particularly appreciated. Each pastry we tried was outstanding. The chocolate shortbread, filled with a smooth ganache, was rich and satisfying. The ham and cheese croissant was remarkably reminiscent of those we enjoyed during our travels in France — perfectly flaky with a balanced savory flavor. The highlight, however, may have been the chocolate chip cookie made with rye and toffee. It was both unique and deeply flavorful, pairing beautifully with the coffee and standing out as one of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. Flowerbud Bakery is a true gem, and we look forward...

Cristina helped me with my sister’s bridal shower by making four cakes and two different style cookies. Her suggestions and decorating ideas are sublime! The flavors of the cakes, fillings, and cookies (which were the party favors) were decadent and perfectly complimentary. Everything traveled so well and looked and tasted incredibly fresh and custom. Working with her and communicating about the order and pick up was seamless and stress free. I truly cannot recommend Flourbud enough. From the stellar work on this event, to their farmers market treats, this is by far and away my favorite bakery on Long Island. Contact Cristina for your next party and you will be in love with her artisanship and...
