Brooklyn Baking Company in Waterbury is a straightforward bakery and breakfast spot where doughnuts and classic pastries take center stage, carving out a familiar but solid niche in the neighborhood. Located on Reidville Drive, it draws locals who appreciate well-made, traditional treats without the fuss of trendy or exotic twists. The atmosphere feels practical and no-nonsense, catering to early risers and families looking for an affordable, reliably good breakfast or snack.

The bakery’s lineup centers around doughnuts that proudly stick to classic flavors like glazed, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate-covered, along with filled varieties such as Bavarian cream, apple, and custard. Regulars also lean into the variety of cupcakes and pies, but it’s the donuts that keep people coming back—often with noticeable queues that reflect steady local demand rather than tourist buzz. This bakery’s strength lies in its ability to deliver dependable, unpretentious pastries at approachable prices, which locals clearly appreciate when grabbing quick coffee and a treat before heading to work or school.

Bookmark Brooklyn Baking Company for mid-morning visits, though keep in mind that the full range of choices can dwindle as the day progresses. The environment has a community feel, reinforced by a simple, down-to-earth service style that matches its unpretentious menu. If you want a place where quality baked goods meet budget-friendly options and classic flavors are respected, this Waterbury staple fits well.

We are traveling through this area and had a pumpkin muffin, an apple donut, a Bavarian donut and a custard and jelly filled donut that was THE best thing I've ever had ... and I've eaten tons of pastries in my lifetime . I'm also very impressed with the prices ... 4 pastries and 2 coffees under $14?! What?!

This is a wonderful bakery with a giant history. Everything is so good and magically delicious from the simplest of perfect donuts and flamboyant cupcakes to the breads brownies, eclairs, turnovers, and pies.

No fancy flavors because their doughnuts don't need them. Great, raised doughnuts, some glazed, some chocolate, some with sugar. And filled options too. If you want a great doughnut that's proud to be a doughnut this is your place.

Hands down best donuts I’ve had, even better than Krispy Kreme (they’ve fallen off). Longggg lines but they move pretty quickly. Only thing I wish is that they had a better variety throughout the day. I went around 10:30 am and the variety was already low. Also wish they had better signage, prices and menu posting in the store or online. I really love this place though. Love the Christian Bible verses in the place.

Savor the Flavor at Brooklyn Bakery in CT! You know a bakery is something special when even someone who usually shies away from sweets can’t resist its treats. Brooklyn Bakery is that kind of place—where the flavors speak for themselves without overwhelming you with sugar. For my birthday, our daughter brought home an assortment from Brooklyn Bakery, and WOW, what a treat! Each bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and freshness. You can truly taste the quality and care that goes into every item they bake. If you’re looking for indulgence without the sugar overload, this is the place to go. Savor every flavor and enjoy the freshness that sets Brooklyn Bakery apart. Cheers!

Stopped by for an early breakfast and weren't disappointed. The smell of fresh baked donuts, pastries and bread definitely wet your appetite. Service was fast and friendly, and prices were reasonable. Very good experience.

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!
