We are one of only two commercial bakeries in the US using fresh key limes, no bottled mystery juice.

Swingle™ specials include the Raspberry, topped with raspberry purée then dipped in chocolate; the Raspberry Blonde is topped with raspberry purée then hand dipped in Belgian white chocolate. The LaVictoria is topped with a chipotle purée and hand dipped in Belgian chocolate.

Warm weather gets you a cup of ice-​cold key limonada, or New York City’s finest double-​filtered tap water. Fresh key limes are available for purchase.

We offer miniature 3-​inch «teasers» in a variety of ways for catered events, weddings and other affairs.

History

Established in 1994.

Hatched from a studio apartment on Smith Street, we started with one customer delivering three pies a week. Four years later, we moved into a legit bakery on Columbia street which we would outgrow in two quick years.

April 2001 provided an excellent opportunity to grow our business, and for the next 12-​years we operated from a large Red Hook waterfront space on Pier 41. With the opening of Fairway Market and Red Hook’s new popularity, our walk-​in business has provided us the chance for us to serve the public while still maintaining our status as a wholesale operation.

Fall of 2012 brought three-​feet of water through our 6700 square foot space, compliments of Hurricane Sandy. We suffered tremendous losses in inventory, materials and income, but Sandy also opened a few doors. On June 2013, we officially relocated to a new, larger «water resistant» location a few hundred yards away.

Steve’s Authentic continues to provide our product to the public.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

I run a business that provides possibly the best key lime experience available, that’s it! I’m not in the entertainment business, although I can be very entertaining at times. Just don’t rub me the wrong way. I actually love dealing with the public, and there are enough anecdotal accounts to both my pleasant demeanor and my rudeness.

I look forward to meeting you.
