Radio Bakery Is a First-Come Brooklyn Pastry Plan

Radio Bakery is not a bakery to plan like a catered order. Its official locations page lists two Brooklyn shops, Greenpoint at 135 India Street and Prospect Heights at 186 Underhill Avenue, open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or until sold out.

The same page says production is devoted entirely to retail customers, everything is available in store on a first-come, first-served basis and the bakery does not offer preorders, catering or wholesale. That turns timing into the whole reader service.

Pick your location first

For Greenpoint readers, the India Street shop is the local move. For readers coming from central Brooklyn, the Prospect Heights location may be easier. Either way, do not plan around a specific pastry as if it will wait for you.

The current model rewards early arrival, flexible taste and a little patience. A first-come bakery can be delightful when you treat the case as the menu. It can be disappointing when you promise someone a specific item and arrive after the rush.

What to expect

Radio's official Greenpoint menu page points readers toward bread and baked goods, while the locations page explains the larger system. Eater's 2026 expansion report describes the bakery as having Brooklyn locations in Greenpoint and Prospect Heights, with pastries, focaccia, sandwiches and breads as part of the appeal.

That independent context is useful, but current inventory still belongs to the bakery. Menus, specials, sellout timing and shop conditions can change by day.

When it works best

Radio Bakery works well for a morning walk, a weekend treat, a visiting friend who likes food stops, or a neighborhood errand that can tolerate a line. It is less useful for a high-stakes dessert plan, a meeting that needs guaranteed quantities or a group that cannot pivot if the pastry case is thin.

If you are going with children, a small group or someone with dietary needs, set expectations before you arrive. A busy bakery line is not the place to solve every preference in real time.

For a visitor, the best version is simple: pick one location, go early, buy what looks good and build the rest of the morning nearby. Turning it into a cross-borough pastry hunt with exact-item expectations is where the plan starts to wobble.

Access and comfort

The official pages do not publish a complete physical-access profile. If step-free entry, stroller handling, seating, restroom access, line management, sensory conditions or allergy questions matter, contact the shop before making the trip.

Because sellouts are part of the posted operating model, also check the bakery's current channels before traveling late in the day. A shop can be open and still not have the item you pictured.

Before you go

Choose Greenpoint or Prospect Heights, arrive early, keep your order flexible and do not rely on preordering. If the outing depends on a specific item, use the bakery's current menu and official channels for the freshest guidance.
