Radio, a bakery known for its bread and pastries in Brooklyn, has announced plans to expand into Manhattan. The company confirmed that its first Manhattan shop is set for 463 Columbus Avenue, near West 82nd Street on the Upper West Side. A second location is planned for 332 West 13th Street, between Hudson and Gansevoort streets in the West Village.

The Upper West Side storefront is expected to open before the West Village outpost, though both are scheduled for 2027. The bakery is known for items such as naturally leavened loaves and morning buns. At the Brooklyn flagship, queues have formed on weekends since early spring, with patrons often arriving before 9 a.m.

Radio’s move comes as neighborhood bakeries see renewed foot traffic, especially on Saturday mornings. Upper West Side residents will gain a dedicated bakery counter, an alternative to supermarket bread aisles. A manager from a nearby market on Columbus Avenue noted increased demand for specialty baked goods since the start of this year’s outdoor festival season.

Manhattan’s bakery landscape has shifted as rents and competition rise. Several smaller bakeries have closed since March. Radio’s decision to open two shops signals confidence in demand for artisan bread and pastries, even as larger chains hold ground. The company has not released details on menu changes or opening day promotions.

Renovation work at both locations is expected to begin later this summer. The bakery has not commented on exact opening dates beyond the projected timeline for next year.
