True hidden gem in Brooklyn. They only open from 10am to 2pm on weekdays. When I had an unexpected day-off on Tue, I knew it was a sign to visit Burrow. Their store is located inside a commercial building, so it took me awhile to figure out where the entrance was. ＊Quiche Forgot what were the fillings... it should be loaded with chicken, bell pepper and spinach. The savory egg custard was incredibly soft and jiggly. The quiche was packed full of bright veggie and herbal flavors. I was disappointed by most of the quiches served in other bakeries, but this one was exceptionally yum. ＊Gateau Basque Custard My fav pastries out of the three. I thanked myself for picking this simple but divine pastry over other fancy-looking ones. Their tart crust slayed with its flakiness. The almond custard fillings were encased in the buttery dough. Silky, nutty and (most importantly) not too sweet. ＊Strawberry Pistachio Cake I witnessed the cakes sold out within an hour during my stay at Burrow. Coated with whipped cream and a thin layer of jelly-like strawberry jam. The strawberry mousse was bursted with fresh and naturally sweet flavor. You could clearly distinguish there wasn't much added sugar in this piece. The pistachio sponge cake was fluffy, yet the flavor was bland and overpowered by the strawberry mousse. My Recommendations: Everything Worth Returning ? YES DEFINITELY

It’s almost impossible to make it to @burr0w because they have the weirdest hours and only on weekdays! I’m so glad I finally got to visit on Good Friday though. Their pastries are delicious and remind me of both Taiwan and Japan! So authentic. The mocha biscuit and caramel butter cream of the coffee cake was amazing! Matcha cake was great as well!

Finally got to visit on my lunch break! A small, somewhat hidden Japanese pastry shop near dumbo with some of the most delicious cakes and pastries! My favorite is definitely the sweet potato tart! The best part about all the pastries in the shop is that nothing is too overly sweet and overpowering. Everything has just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. When I went at around 1pm, they were already sold out of a few items, so be sure to go early! Will definitely return to try out other pastries!!

3 1/2 stars, purchased the basque cake, some sort or earl gray mousse cake with toasted almonds, and the blueberry scone. out of the three the basque cake tasted the best, I went right after they opened so it was still warm (but warning, if you come too early not everything will be out yet). scone was decent, not too sweet and fluffy on the inside. I was least impressed with the earl gray cake, although the tea flavor was decently strong which I did appreciate, it was way too much mousse and almost nothing else. Warning, it also melts and starts to fall apart fairly quickly in warm weather. I’d probably have given this four stars if not for the price, $18 for a pastry and two desserts that I finished in about two bites each. Even for Dumbo the price seems a bit high
