Blue Sky Bakery Incorporated

The best muffins in the world, hidden in a tiny place in the North Slope that closes at 2. Normal-sized, smaller muffins (as opposed to NYC's regular, 5-pound, hat-sized, dense and pointless muffins) filled with fresh fruit pieces, not too sweet (the top is sweet), always with regular or bran options. They make them fresh, batch after batch, so yours is often still warm, or hot. Also, coffee cakes, coffee, and tea. Really, seriously, top-drawer, top-shelf muffins. Really.

These muffins dont just taste good, they put me in a great mood. I dont know what ingredients theyre using, but I feel light and healthy when I eat them. I go at least once a week and give Blue Sky muffins as gifts. Ive met the owner and hes a great guy. Id much rather support him than a chain that sells overpriced baked goods with underwhelming flavor.

I came to Brooklyn from Manhattan to get a massage at D'mai, and stopped at Blue Sky for breakfast. I expected from the reviews that the muffins would be enormous (since that's what many of the other reviews said), but they were pretty normal-sized muffins Not sure why everyone thought they were so big, but they're much smaller than the gargantuan Starbucks muffins and look like they came out of a regular muffin pan to me (and I bake a lot). In any case, I had a very tasty piece of their chocolate chip banana loaf. Quite yummy, but not really worth going all the way to Brooklyn for if you don't live in the area. Also, don't go expecting to get a "traditional" muffin all of theirs are generally unique combinations of different fruits and nuts and veggies and chocolate, and they only have about 5 or 6 different varieties every day which change every day so expect to try something kind of new. But if you're in to fun flavor combinations, you may really like this place. The texture of the chocolate chip banana bread was really nice and the flavor was good as well but again, just not really worth going all the way to Brooklyn for. If you are in the area however, it's a nice breakfast The shop itself is quite cute with lots of little tables stacked with different magazines and newspapers, and is decorated in a country/home-y way Lots of sunlight, very cute :)

I was excited to find Blue Sky Bakery on Fifth Avenue one morning when I was looking for a non-bagel breakfast. Although the muffins were very very good, I must admit to being a bit surprised at the meager non-muffin selection in the "bakery." True, Blue Sky has a very inovative take on muffins, mixing pumpkin with zucchini and chocolate chips, but it seems the chef is so focused on coming up with these zany mixtures that he doesn't take the time to make much else. 5 muffin choices, 2 pound cake type loafs and chocolate or almond croissants pretty much sums up the choices at this tiny place. There's no doubt about it though, the muffins are excellent (and were warm even at 11:30) and I found myself getting two due to the inability to choose from all the great flavors.

The muffins from this bakery are simply legendary. It is worth getting up early, just to arrive at the bakery and be assured the sight of muffins, fresh out of the oven. Every muffin I have had has been equisite - a miniature work of art that melts in my mouth. And each one is warm and moist and fresh out of the oven. You have not tried muffins until you have tried Blue Sky's muffins!

This place has the best muffins in town! They use the freshest ingredients, and select the most surprising combinations. Try the zuccini chocolate mocha muffin - delicious! If the choices don't get you the smell of home baked sweetness that wafts outside certainly will.

This place is great way to ease into the day, if you are not in a hurry. The chocolate croissants are to die for and coffee beats anything around.
If you stop there in the morning it will make you envious of all people sitting around reading magazines, you can enjoy their muffins to stay. They also donate their services to charities in the area. Over priced, but not any worse than most things around.

You know those magic momentswhen the bagels are just out of the oven, or the mozzerella has just been packed, or the coffee has just been ground -- just as you walked in the door? Well, somehow those very rare, exceptional, and extraordinary moments happen all the time at Blue Sky Bakery. Everytime I go there baked goods are just out of the oven, fresh and hot. And their muffins are incredible, delicious concotions. I keep half expecting a line to be there on Saturday mornings, like Magnolia Bakery, where people wait patiently for their cupcakes to come out of the oven. Then I remember that there is no need for a line, because that magic moment is all day at Blue Sky. I promise.
