Star Deli & Bakery — Greenpoint, Brooklyn

The neighborhood showed up.

July 2026

“Sold out the same day I went back. This is what happens when a community shows up.”

— from the TikTok coverage that introduced half of Brooklyn to the cheesecake, July 2026

For thirty years this counter served its block. One video later, the line goes out the door — and this page is where that line finds the hours, the menu, and the one rule of the house: bring cash.

What to get.

Per the regulars

Sold by the pound

Sernik

Polish-style cheesecake — not New York-style, and the regulars insist on the difference. The reason the line exists.

Filled with jam

Pączki

Proper Polish doughnuts, the kind worth crossing the bridge for.

Warm from the oven

Whatever just came out

Makowiec, strudel, carrot cake, rugelach croissants if you ask nicely — the case changes with the morning's bake.

The board.
