Prospect Heights has become one of Brooklyn's most reliable destinations for quality baked goods, anchored by Radio Bakery's second location on Washington Avenue. If Greenpoint is too far, this is where to go — the same cult-status cinnamon roll in a slightly calmer weekend morning setting.
Washington Avenue is the main drag: several strong bakeries and coffee shops are within a few blocks of each other, making Prospect Heights a natural destination for a half-morning food walk.
Go before 11am on weekends — Radio Bakery's cinnamon rolls sell out, and the neighborhood is genuinely pleasant in the early morning before the brunch crowds arrive. The proximity to Prospect Park means you can extend the morning into a walk without needing a plan.
