The Protein Bakery

I get it. I understand the concept and have had similar cookies via Amazon and health stores before, but still don’t see the appeal. Just as dry as competitors, but an extra star for the friendly guy who helped me out — dropped $ 7 on 4 mini blondies and 2 cookies, which is apparently cheaper than online, and they don’t add tax if you pay cash. PS there’s no signage along the street, and when you reach the 3^rd floor door, there’s often a sign asking you call, then they come down from the 9^th floor as soon as they can, so if you’re planning a visit, CALL BEFORE ENTERING THE BUILDING.
Skipped the Unilocal checkin with $ 15 purchase

I just went there today, was in a bit of a rush so decided to stick to the cookies since these were much smaller than the brownies. My expectations were met. I could taste the whey a little bit, but the way I see it. that’s one of the better parts about it. Well baked and delicious. I have every reason to be back there. I also got a discount for going to the store! So go to the store!

So good, too busy eating to write a review. Just go.

YUM! Their brownies are the best! I’ve not actually visited the bakery, but my mom sent me a gift box of assorted brownies from here for my birthday. What a delicious birthday gift! I was intrigued by the company name and was so impressed when I read about them. Loved that I could indulge on something so yummy and not feel guilty about it. The brownies have a lot of protein so they are pretty filling. The presentation of the treats was so cute, I’m definitely a fan! I want to try some of their cookies next! :-D

Great chocolaty flavor in those cookies, not too sweet.
Brownies are very filling, can barely finish half of it and kept me full for 6 hours: O
Less guilty treat for someone who loosely follow paleo principal, love the butter in your ingredients.

I really want to give this place 3 stars, but the guy was lovely and I support independent business, so I’ll give him a 4.
I feel that they should definitely make more offerings for health enthusiasts, a group who tend to be mindful of carbs and fat. I understand the obvious limitations in that it is hard to make deliciously naughty yet protein rich and otherwise healthy foods, but that would be true innovation. Right now, while the product isn’t incredibly unhealthy, the only high protein low carbohydrate (but still high fat) option would be the peanut butter cookies.
It is very interesting that their product seems to be crafted without consideration of their target market (or at least a sizable portion of it) — fitness enthusiasts who mindfully watch their macronutrient ratios. While entering the Protein Bakery’s cookies into My Fitness Pal, it did not feel like a true cheat.

Something about the Protein Bakery makes me feel like I’m having a healthier treat haha Sure, there is still sugar etc but the gluten free is a major plus for me. And with a little more protein I didn’t experience the sugar crash. My favorite is the coconut walnut dark choc chip blondie. And of course I love anything peanut butter. The shop was complicated to find at first and they hold odd hours for those of us that work. Good thing for me it wasn’t too far to go on my lunch. The bakery is very clean and well organized. The person working is always very attentive and helpful and gives me a little bonus bite sized treat. A nice tip– if you pay in cash they take care of the tax.

I discovered this place while sipping coffee in Gregory’s. Having already done my day’s meal planning and determining that I was not going to meet my macro goals anyway, I decided I should treat myself to a baked good. I didn’t want to keep sitting in the same shop for hours on end, so I started doing some Googling. As soon as I saw the words «Protein» and «Bakery» in that order, I knew I had hit the jackpot. Could I possibly have my protein cake and eat it too?! Could I have a treat and also still maybe hit my macros after all?! Apparently I could.
I don’t usually go this far out of my way to get baked goods. Honest, I don’t. I don’t usually go into an unmarked building, and take an elevator to the the third floor, and I definitely don’t usually call a phone number upon realizing the door is locked and I need to alert someone of my presence. Usually, I just walk away. But not this time. And oh, it was worth it.
I bought a mini blondie and a pack of two peanut butter chocolate chip cookies (total was $ 4, no tax because I paid cash!) and both were delicious! The cookies were definitely my favourite. They were soft and chewy and the perfect balance of peanut butter and chocolate. The blondie was a little too soft for my taste, but it was still quite good! I’m definitely sold on their products, and I’m so glad they ship!

Pas évident à trouver. Il faut rentrer dans l’immeuble et prendre l’ascenseur, mais que de bonnes choses à la clef. Et le manager est super serviable et à votre écoute

The Protein Bakery is totally amazing. I was in the area and looking for a bakery to buy treats for my classmates on our last day of the semester, and after I found this place on Unilocal I decided to check it out. It’s a bit tricky to find since there is no sign outside (from what I remember) and it is not on the ground floor. The employee there – I think his name sounded like Siljan – was really funny and helpful. I bought a bunch of mini brownies and blondies and got a free pack of 2 cookies with craisins ( Unilocal deal). My friends, professor, and I all loved them! The price is reasonable too – $ 1 for each mini. I saw that the Bakery has its cookies at Just Salad too. The minis are so delicious though, I would return for them.

Deliciousness! Doesn’t taste like other fake or watered-​down tasting GF products. Try their oatmeal/​ginger/​cranberry cookies.
This location is where they do all their baking & packaging, so it’s not like a coffee shop where you can hang & chow down on baked goods. It’s hidden inside an office building so just knowing about its secret location will earn you some insider street cred. We picked up our goodies and brought to a nearby café.
The staff was friendly and happy to accommodate Unilocal deals. Also, their packaged cookie tins are stylishly presented in modern silver canisters and make awesome corporate gifts.

I used a Gilt City voucher here for the the Silver gift set, which included an assortment of brownies & blondies (2 full size, 4 minis) and 2 sets of a 2-​piece chocolate chip cookie pack.
Everything was pretty tasty. A tiny bit on the dry side (especially the cookies), but overall not bad at all. I loved the quality of the chocolate chips, so they balanced out any dryness in the cookies.
It is a bit on the pricey side but I think I will be going back to buy more soon.
The employee who helped me was very nice and let me know what I needed to pick out as part of my Gilt City deal.
He also told me the treats were good within 2 weeks time. SInce I had planned to leave these at my office to nibble on from time to time, it resulted in me enjoying a little bit of it each day for 10 days straight. Luckily they also post nutrition info on most of the products as well as their website so I was able to know exactly how much protein-​enriched indulgence I was allowing myself each day :-).
Note: The shop is in a small room on the 3^rd floor of the building. After the elevator, go left down the hall, it’ll be on your right after the hallway. There are also signs letting you know you’re at the right place.

Big fan. Super friendly staff! Delicious for what’s considered a «healthier» baked good and quite reasonably priced ($ 3 for two cookies, $ 4 for the big brownies/​blondies, and $ 1 mini brownies). I was very pleasantly surprised. The cookies are pretty mediocre, truth be told, but the brownies are delicious!
Not going to lie, the location was weird. I thought i was going to be mugged or that i was accidentally walking into a drug den…

Stephen, it’s just hyperbole. I know it’s a good neighborhood — just commenting on the odd (and hard to find) office location! Definitely need to stop by for more brownies at some point. I’ve run out, gasp!!!

Delicious and healthful brownies, cookies, and blondies. Check out their website for the full array of specialty baked goods. I received these as a gift via Facebook gifts, and was so impressed by the ease of ordering and overall quality that I purchased a gift certificate for my brother for his birthday. He enjoyed them and I am confident in recommending this shop to you too.

First, to get to the place: Elevator to the third floor. Go through the doorway. Make a left and keep going until you start smelling baked goods.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about the place. The baked goods are high quality and professionally wrapped. As someone who is Paleo 70% of the time during the week, these treats are the best for cheat foods. They are filling and very delicious.
Two more tips: 1) Do them a favor and pay in cash 2) In the fall, their pumpkin spice blondes are awesome!

While visiting New York I was trying to stick to my diet, but was experiencing an overwhelming sweet tooth haha,
I took to Unilocal and typed healthy sweets and The Protein Bakery popped up. With a slew of good reviews I decided it was worth the trip over.
I was extremely glad I gave it a shot. The cookies were awesome. Healthy and sweets usually don’t go hand in hand, but the protein bakery made it somewhat possible. While the ingredients still contain sugars, carbs, etc… they are a much healthier option in comparison to what you can buy in the store or a restaurant.
Aside from cookies they offer and array of other tasty looking desserts, but in an attempt not to go overboard, I stuck with just cookies.
I was happy to find they have a website that ships. I will definitely order more treats in the future.

Delicious. I discovered Protein Bakery via the black & white blondie at Just Salad. I have tried several of their other brownies and blondies and the black & white blondie is still my favorite. Great texture, very moist, and I love the white chips. Best of all, these baked goods don’t aggravate my stomach. Weird location but very nice people.

These were addicting. So much so that I have not gone back since the first time I tried them, for fear of consuming the cookies on the way home.
I would recommend these cookies to anyone — whether you’re health conscious or not. If you are healthy with a sweet tooth, this is a great way to get your fix without totally destroying your body.
If you couldn’t care less about eating healthy, then just enjoy a tasty cookie!
The peanut butter and chocolate cookies were excellent. I enjoyed the fact that it has the right amount of sweetness. These cannot be compared to the gooey richness of a Levain cookie, or a sugar laden creation from Momofuku. But you don’t feel like you are eating a piece of cardboard disguised as a cookie. You are enjoying a proper cookie that won’t leave you feeling sick after (unless you eat 5 of them).
I will be back to try the brownies.

*to be read in the most dramatic tone possible*
HOLD. THE. PHONE. These cookies are unbelievable!!! And they’re (somewhat) GOOD for you?!
*end dramatic tone*
Thanks to Unilocal I found The Protein Bakery one afternoon while I was searching for a post-​lunch snack/​dessert near my office. Sure, I could’ve gone to Eataly for gelato, hit up Blue Dog Kitchen Bar for some sweets, or even CVS for greasy potato chips. But the title of this place intrigued me. Protein? In my cookies? Hmm… but with almost 5 stars on Unilocal,I figured it was worth a visit.
Well, let me just say that my instincts (and Unilocal) were right– this place rocks! Once inside the loft I was overwhelmed with options. Cookies, brownies, blondies… chocolate, oatmeal, peanut butter, mint, walnut, espresso… Ah! So great! Unable to choose, I walked out with 4 different cookie packs: ginger oatmeal raisin, oatmeal cranberry, chocolate chocolate white chip, and PB chocolate chip.
Now, I’ve eaten a fair amount of oatmeal cookies in my lifetime and I’ve got to hand it to these guys. Often I come across an oatmeal cookie and it is too big, too hard, burnt on the bottom, too greasy, or too mushy. However, I encountered none of these issues with The Protein Bakery’s oatmeal cookies. Both flavors were *perfect*: firm on the outside, moist on the inside but not too gooey/​under-​cooked, absolutely PACKED with flavor, and a great snacking size!
2 cookies come in a package, and although the serving size is only 1 cookie, I could not help myself from eating the other. How would the lone cookie feel, being all left out and uneaten? So there went the ginger oatmeal cookies… by this point I was only fooling myself to think I could hold off until another day to try the oatmeal cranberry ones. Within minutes I had devoured that pack, too. This brings us to a total of 4 cookies that I’ve ingested in one sitting. Whoops! But that’s why God invented spinning, right?
I somehow managed to hold out on the chocolate chocolate white chip and PB chocolate chip. Those sound rich, AKA perfect for a movie and wine night. Can’t wait for that!
I stuck with cookies this time because the brownies and blondies were bigger than what I wanted/​needed, but I will definitely be trying their blondies on my next visit!

This is a tiny tale of how I am officially a Protein Bakery junkie.
I first heard of Protein Bakery about a year ago– actually, I saw a picture of an assortment of cookies/​blondies/​brownies posted by some girl I don’t know via Facebook. I love eating healthy and working out, but I also love eating crap and sitting on my ass almost equally as much! Tasty blondies, brownies, and cookies packed with protein– a not so guilty dessert… I HAD TO HAVE IT! Since I was in DC last year, the only way I thought I could get my hands on these goodies was to purchase them online– but I didn’t want to make a commitment to ordering a not-​so-​inexpensive bundle of protein goodies when I wasn’t sure of how they would taste. I’ve had my fair share of ‘baked goods’ that tend to be ‘healthier’ by being low in fat and lower in calories– and most tasted like crap!
Once I graduated school, I left DC and started working in Manhattan. One fine day on my lunch break, I strolled into a GNC next door. WHAT DO I FIND?! A BASKET OF PROTEIN BAKERY GOODIES! The day was finally here– the day I’d try one of these bundles of protein joy. I chose the Chocolate Chip Blondie and unwrapped it as I paced up and down 5^th Avenue with my last 20 minutes of lunch break to spare. One bite AND I WAS HOOKED. Flavorful, sweet, dense, filling– everything you could ask for, for what it is! Obviously you can get a blondie that tastes better– but then again it will probably have triple the calories and 0 grams of protein. For a somewhat guilt free dessert with only about 280 calories– the blondie definitely does more than satisfies my sweet tooth. Best of all, it’s enormous! So long to having one small chocolate and still feeling deprived!
I literally must of had about 10 – 12 blondies in the last 3 weeks. I even signed up for a GNC gold card, which takes off a few cents off my blondie each time. On one sad sad day, GNC HAD RUN OUT OF PROTEIN BAKERY GOODIES. I was SO upset. I was so desperate for one the next day, I went back in and asked if they had any. The lady said that her manager would be ordering them that day. A few days without my chunks of goodness? Oh no! Due to the fact that I am a serious Protein Bakery junkie, I was experiencing some SERIOUS withdrawal symptoms.

I guess this will be the ghost writer for my boyfriend for this review. I enjoy their products but nowhere near as much as my boyfriend, and (I’m sorry protein bakery, no offense), I’d much rather have a regular butter and sugar loaded brownie.
He hearts this place. He hearts this place lots :) I got him the Unilocal deal voucher for christmas and I think he was more excited about this gift than anything else I got him. The desserts from here are a god send for people who want to enjoy dessert without feeling the guilt afterwards.
Their website is easy to navigate and ordering is a snap. When I called to question how I was to redeem the voucher online, the rep was friendly and helpful.
Protein bakery is my go to when I need to get something for a special occasion for him or if he needs a small «I love you» gesture.
