Best Bakery in Harlem
![]()
Someone recently entered a search query for the "Best Bakery in Harlem." Of course the "best" is totally subjective and up for debate. It also depends on what type of baked goods you are looking for.
The editor’s choice for the best Red Velvet Cake in Harlem hands down is Make my Cake on Seventh Avenue. Others, (like Oprah’s best friend Gayle King), prefer the Coconut Caramel cake at Wimp’s and now there is a new contender T&J’s offering their own selection of specialties.
There has also been quite a bit of discussion about the virtues of Settepani on sites like Bagel in Harlem, and Curbed. Since this Harlemite has not tried their baked goods I will have to defer and ask the readers to chime in on this topic.

Lets talk about the WORST Bakery in Harlem which is the Sky Lounge on 125th St. The have the DRIEST CAKE I’ve ever tasted. They need to close their bakery down and just make the place a nice club. It was truely the WORST bakery expereince of my life.
