New York City is a city that loves its baked goods. From bagels and cupcakes to cannolis and biblically-oversized cookies, the people of the Big Apple simply cannot get enough of their confectionary delights. At first you would think the large amounts of sugar and chocolate would exclude canines from all the fun, but have no fear! The NYC dog bakery business is booming and dog owners looking to take their furry friends out on the town for an out-of-the-ordinary treat should choose only the best.
For owners of pampered pooches with a taste for the good life, Prima Dog on the Upper East Side is the city’s dog bakery of choice. A swanky boutique that also features an extensive selection of baked goods, this canine confectionary and shopping hot spot can be trusted to carry the best products and bake with the finest ingredients. Prices may be on the steep side, but for those with an eye for quality, the merchandise can’t be beaten.
While Prima Dog may be the ritziest NYC dog bakery, dog lovers who prefer the road-less-traveled should head down to Buttercup’s Paw-tisserie, located in the heart of Brooklyn’s lovely Park Slope neighborhood. This friendly neighborhood establishment carries a wide variety of delicious all-natural doggie treats, all of which are baked on the premises. Many of the cookies and cakes are holiday themed as well! The store’s Brooklyn location may be a little out of the way for those more used to life in Manhattan, but if you’re willing to take the trek, Paw-tisserie provides specialty tidbits that are free of sugar, salt, or preservatives. For when your favorite pooch has been a really good boy, a trip to a dog bakery is fun, tasty, and not to be missed!
Prima Dog is located at 336 East 59th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues.
Buttercup's Paw-tisserie is located at 63 5th Avenue, at St. Mark's Place (Brooklyn).
