Radio Bakery is opening two new locations in 2027. One will open at 463 Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side near West 82nd Street. The second will open at 332 West 13th Street in the West Village between Hudson and Gansevoort streets. The new shops are expected to offer the same pastries and breads, including cheesy pretzel bear claws, seasonal croissants such as cherry cheesecake croissants with New York-style cheesecake base, sour cherry compote, and fresh cherries, plus focaccia and focaccia sandwiches. Each shop will also feature specials. The bakery is run by Kelly Mencin, with partners Ben Howell and Rafiq Salim. The Manhattan expansion is intended to reach communities far from the Brooklyn locations in Greenpoint and Prospect Heights, with no further expansions planned beyond these two.
"Radio is opening not one but two new locations in 2027. The first of these is coming to the Upper West Side at 463 Columbus Avenue, near West 82nd Street, followed by another in the West Village at 332 West 13th Street, between Hudson and Gansevoort streets, as originally reported by industry newsletter Feed Me. A rep confirmed Radio Bakery's new addresses and the 2027 targeted opening year."
"Expect the same beloved pastries, including cheesy pretzel bear claws; seasonal croissants like the current cherry cheesecake, made with a New York-style cheesecake base, sour cherry compote, and fresh cherries; focaccia and focaccia sandwiches; and breads, along with specials for each shop. Radio is run by owner and pastry genius Kelly Mencin and the team behind Ridgewood neighborhood restaurant Rolo's and Mexican American restaurant Hellbender, which includes Ben Howell and Rafiq Salim, the co-partners of Cookout Food and Drink."
"Choosing Manhattan for Radio's third and fourth expansions was intentional for Howell and Salim. They wanted to bring the bakery into areas that were far away from the two Brooklyn locations (Greenpoint and Prospect Heights), "allowing the team to serve different communities across the city while maintaining the same level of care and independence at each shop," they write via a rep. At this point, there are no further expansions planned beyond these two."
"The original Radio Bakery opened in Greenpoint in 2023, garnering much attention and devoted lines for its impeccable pastries. Prospect Heights followed in 2025. The new Manhattan openings will add two more neighborhoods to the bakery’s footprint while keeping the same pastry lineup and shop-specific specials."
