"Their staff is also super sweet and they’re always giving out homemade dog treats."
"Also everyone working there is incredibly nice with great positive attitudes."
"The service here is beyond friendly, with so many lovely folks available to answer questions or give a menu steer."
"Staff was super nice and quick."
"The staff is super friendly :)."
"Also their service always quick and gentle."
Cons:
"These guys forgot everyone’s order so we waited about 20 minutes before complaining."
"Been here three times, waited in line, and not once got food."
"Staff is super unhelpful nor cares that they turn away business."
"Sadly Winner Bakery's service has declined to the point where I can no longer recommend them. Some staff are polite, while others are inexcusably rude, and actively cause confusion and ill feeling."
"Plus the service sucks and the staff is always rude for some reason."
"The service is way way too slow."
"Winner’s system for taking orders is awful. The same person takes and rings up the order and then retrieves certain items, such as baked goods. It’s so inefficient and contributes to the length of the line."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Unique bakery offering great loaves of bread and also some outrageously proportioned sandwiches!"
"The bread and sandwiches are good."
"Amazing pastry."
"If you never had bread in a bread-centric country like France, Italy, etc; Winner is the closest approximation."
"The chocolate chip cookie, monkey bread and cinnamon roll will satisfy your sweet tooth and you must try their sourdough loaf."
"The breads are amazing, the monkey bread is a sweet delight, the cookies are lovely, and the focaccia is a savory delicacy."
"One of the great finds of park slope."
Cons:
"The monkeybread was $8 and disappointing in size and taste."
"I tried the grilled cheese and chicken salad sandwiches, both not worth the price of $14 - $16."
"The chocolate chip cookie had no body whatsoever as it was a simply a gooey mess and the peanut butter cookie disintegrated onto crumbs by the time we got it home."
"The fried chicken and chicken meat ball parmigiana sandwiches were both disappointing."
"Both sandwiches overdressed and overwhelmed with mustard :("
"Butter came out of the sandwich so much my friend thought it was Mayo- Not good."
"The only disappointing dish was the gem salad."
Price and Value
Pros:
"Love this place although a bit on the pricier end for sandwiches but this is New York lol. Can't go wrong when you see the line... My favorite is the Cubano sandwich."
"All were delicious and the sandwiches were enormous (which they better have been given the price)."
"Prices are kinda high but fully worth it!"
Cons:
"A $15 credit card minimum when you sell pastries, really?"
"They increased the price of the baguette from $4 to $6. A 50% price increase!"
"It is just hard to get everything because of the bread schedule. And, a reminder, $15 minimum for card."
"Very expensive for what you get."
"I'm not saying their pastries aren't decent. But waiting online outside for a half an hour for a croissant, a slice of lemon loaf, and a scone is absurd."
"I felt like I was robbed of my 16.00 and time. Thank you winner for ruining my lunch."
"I’m never eating or ordering from this place ever again. They are rude, snarky, and the food is overpriced."
Ambiance and Convenience
Pros:
"No indoor seating! But they have a good amount of outdoor seating that is convenient if the line is not overtaking it 😂"
"The location is super cute."
"Family and dog friendly in their outdoor seating area."
Cons:
"Over hyped. The line makes it seem like it’s super popular but really it’s just one person managing the register."
"Long cue on the sidewalk. Weekend is impossible to wait, there are long line always."
"The line situation is kind of annoying, and their pastries sell out quickly."
"Since we've been locked down, this place has been opened and people have been crowding around it on the corner creating an obstruction for pedestrians."
"They run out of almost everything almost every day and have a bit of an attitude."
"It’s only a take out window and menu has a schedule so it needs good planning and patience, but we’ll worth it."
"Waited about 10-15 in line on a weekday around 3:30, and I prices are a little high."
