Masa Madre

This is an incredible local bakery. The prices are extremely fair, the quality is top notch, and the flavors are just perfect. The most amazing part of this bakery is the consistency. They use sour dough for most of their pastries, giving them a distinct almost rustic taste. The best compliment I can give the pastries here is that they are “not too sweet”. I can eat everything here without getting tired of them, and I pretty much have. In addition to their marvelous pastries, they also have delicious tamales and tortas. Their tortas are huge. Definitely filing as a meal. I love their El Chapin (pork) tamale. The pork is moist and melt in your mouth. My favorite tortas are the pork leg and the swordfish. The pork leg is great if you want something warm and rich, and the swordfish if you w

Never skip the side streets when exploring new areas! Hidden in Woodside is one of the most amazing little neighborhood bakeries with mouthwatering pastries and breads. The owner and staff are very welcoming. Daniel took the time to explain the different offerings since I wasn't familiar with them. Masa Madre offers a variety of breads, pastries and desserts. I purchased several different pastries and they were all so good. The Concha was light, airy and not too sweet with a hint of vanilla and a butter sugar topping. It reminded me of a brioche in away, literally melts in your mouth. The Banderilla was just as delicious with a thin caramelized sugar glaze and its crispy puff texture. The Piedra reminded me of a dense hearty bread. It was filled with raisins, chocolate and had coconut shre

Hands down the best CONCHAS in NYC! When you arrive at the bakery, one of the first things that will catch your eye is the croissant-shaped door handle — such a fun touch. As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted by the incredible aroma of freshly baked pastries. They serve delicious coffee, a variety of pastries, and fresh bread (which they’ll happily slice for you). If you’re in the mood for something savory, they also offer tamales and sandwiches. I tried the concha, tamales, sourdough bread, and coffee — and loved every single item. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The space is cozy, best suited for one or two people if you plan to dine in.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THE FOOD HERE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD. The portions are incredible and the price is super affordable. The tamales are so soft, warm and not even a bit dry, super moist and super stuffed with meat/sauce. They also have a variety of breads and cakes. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND 10/10 service and experience. RUNNNN FOR THE tamales AND Champurrados. 😁 Cash discount toooo

This place has a criminally low amount of reviews for how good it is. Just further evidence businesses with a lot of reviews are paying Google for them. The pastries are good, the conchas are amazing, I love their Mexican chocolate croissant. Their beverages are great! And they've been reviewed by a multitude of newspapers and outlets, which are displayed on their walls.
