Handmade Cupcakes and Oversized Chocolate Peanut Bars on Columbus
A relaxed Manhattan bakery serving handmade cupcakes and cheesecakes to a backdrop of soft piano music.
Why this stop works ✨
Billy's Bakery keeps a relaxed room on Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side, the kind of place with soft piano music playing behind the counter. The bakes are handmade and nostalgic, from cupcakes and cheesecakes to a rotating cake case.
The sleeper item is the chocolate peanut bar, essentially a local, oversized take on a Snickers, backed by rich chocolate cakes for the serious sweet tooth. Drinks run past coffee into hot chocolate and a selection of loose-leaf teas. An oversized house-made chocolate peanut bar is the thing to grab that you will not find elsewhere.
At 4.0 stars across 222 reviews, the crowd likes the handmade bakes and the calm atmosphere. Come in for a cupcake and a chocolate peanut bar, pair it with a loose-leaf tea or a hot chocolate, and take a seat while the piano plays in the background.
