Bakery
Martha’s Country Bakery exudes a cozy atmosphere and offers a wide array of traditional cakes, pastries, gelato, and coffee. It has gained recognition akin to a beloved local bakery in a small Midwestern town that garners fame after being featured on a Food Network special. Customers praise the delectable caramel mousse cake for its fluffy texture and perfect balance of sweetness.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - If you’re looking for one of the best bakeries in Queens look no further! The variety in cakes and other sweets is beyond imagination. With dozens of options to choose from there’s something in Martha’s for everyone. I would recommend the chocolate mouse and carrot cake as they were rich with flavor. I also ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake but would not recommend that to anyone as it wasn’t that great. The slices are expensive but I think they are worth it because they taste phenomenal! As far as the service goes, it was good. The waitress who took my tables order was very helpful and went above and beyond to give us recommendations. The bakery is very busy especially at nights and you may have to wait for seating but even then I was able to get a table in a reasonable time and get my order quick. The atmosphere of the place is very compact. The seating is very tight and you will have no elbow space if sitting with a group. If you’re looking for spacious seating to relax and try desserts would recommend take out but if you don’t mind the crowd then I would encourage dine in. Overall, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Martha’s Country Bakery as their desserts are in a league of their own. Whether you want to dine in or not depends on your preference of seating but I would personally dine in again when I go back.

Called a day in advance to see if they have a cheese cake in the store for next day pick up, confirm with lady over the phone there was one and I can come next morning to get the cake. Went in the store around 10:50 and paid for the cake. When I got to the birthday party open the cake, it not a cheese cake but a berry napoleon cake…. Called the store about this issue and was told to bring back the cake to exchange for the correct cake but we were already 1 hour away from the bakery at this point. Was told they were suppose to show us the cake before sealing it which the cashier at the time did not show me the cake before sealing. Birthday boy can’t even have the cake cause his allergic to berries, what a great birthday thank you Martha’s! If your gonna order anything from here make sure you double check before they even seal the product cause you will not get any sort of compensation for their mistake.

1 star for the staff. I asked for whipped cream to go since I’m going to eat it with in ky car right away. Staff said they do not provide whipped cream to go since only last for couple seconds. I can’t believe even I request it. And she gave me such an attitude too. If u tell me I’m sorry we do not do that since it’s to protect the best quality. But not when u RUDE. So im going to buy my own just because. So mad

Went on a weekend night and it was crowded! It represents how tasty their pastries and cakes are. The very berry napoleon pastry was so good! The cappuccino was good and strong. Prices are slightly higher than some other local bakeries, but the quality and taste are worth the cost.
William M — Google review
My friends and I really lucked out coming in on a very cold evening, table seating was available, and the line was only a few people. Service was fast and friendly, the pastries and cakes lived up to its hype, and the seating area was clean. Price reflects quality, especially if you're doing table service (there is a minimum per guest at certain times.) If you are sensitive to price, then do take out. There is such a beautiful of cakes, slices, cookis and cupcakes, it is hard to choose! But the triple berry napoleon pastry was the favorite, messy, and exceptional. Enjoy!
Connie K — Google review
My review is only on one particular menu item: the cheese danish. For the most part, the bakery is the best at popping out cakes and pies, as that is what they’re known for. But I made the mistake of trying their morning pastries. The instant I took it out of the bag and took a look at it I knew I was in for trouble. It didn’t even look like a pasty. It was cold, hard, and it tasted like semi cooked dough. Nothing about it was soft, warm or flaky. They should either call it a biscuit or scone. I felt like I was some street rat pauper child from the scene of Les Miserables in the rainy dark dirty street eating some hard piece of … jumble of baking Ingridients that got thrown out on the street as inedible garbage. I had to ask the staff if it was baked in house? They said yes but I find it hard to believe. I would think only a machine in a factory could make such a pastry-atrocity and be able to call it a cheese danish. I was only able to eat the outside crust. Imagine throwing it off the cliff of the Grand Canyon and it being able to survive in tact. That is what this thing is, definitely a ‘cheese danish’ it is not.

Great service but the line was long but for good reason. It’s has so many dessert options. You can dine in and out. Good treats . It’s expensive not going to lie but if you really craving it . It’s worth it.

First time trying Martha’s! I had their layered chocolate cake and raisin bread pudding. The chocolate cake was delicious I loved that it was evenly layered and not overly sweet. The bread pudding was okay. I guess I expected a little more from it, but overall it was decent. I’ll definitely be back to try more items! 🍰

Magnolia Bakery is a beloved bakeshop that gained fame after its cupcakes appeared on 'Sex and the City.' Known for its classic American baked goods, this cozy West Village spot offers an inviting atmosphere with vintage decor. The menu features a wide array of handmade treats, from cakes and cupcakes to cookies, bars, and seasonal pies. However, the real star is the decadent banana pudding made with layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and vanilla pudding.
Visiting the original Magnolia Bakery at 401 Bleecker Street in the West Village is a great experience. The shop has a charming vibe with vintage decor and a cozy atmosphere. Their cupcakes are tasty, but the star is definitely the banana pudding. It’s smooth, rich, and absolutely delicious. They also offer a peanut banana pudding, though it’s not as impressive. Staff were super friendly. Expect long queues, especially on weekends. Parking is nearly impossible, so plan accordingly.

This is the viral bakery that I have been wanting to try for a long time. I absolutely loved it. They are known for their banana pudding and it was delicious. I went during the fall time and was able to try a few of their fall flavored pasties. I got a pumpkin cheesecake, a regular cheesecake and I believe it was some type of gingersnap pastry as well. Everything was so good. There isn't seating inside but across the street there's an area with benches I sat on to enjoy. 10/10 I would come again!

Magnolia Bakery is one of those spots that feels like a true New York moment. It is cozy, welcoming, and the kind of place that manages to be both iconic and genuinely good. Everyone talks about the banana pudding, and for good reason. It is creamy, light, and unlike anything else. But my personal recommendation is the chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing. It is simple, perfectly balanced, and exactly what a classic cupcake should taste like. The bakery itself is always clean and the staff are friendly, which makes the experience feel easy and enjoyable, even when it is busy. It is also across the street from a great little bookstore, which makes stopping by feel like you are stepping into one of those quintessential New York City days where everything lines up just right. Magnolia works for just about everyone. It is great for kids, but just as fun for adults who want a sweet treat or a nostalgic moment. Whether you are local or visiting, it is a must-go and a place you will probably find yourself returning to again and again.

Try the famous banana pudding which is surprisingly tasty with banana chunks and cookies and cream. Love it. Also got the red velvet cheesecake and Iced matcha, delicious too. Only for take out so we enjoyed them in nearby park. All the cakes look really attractive in the shop, can’t wait to try more soon.
Tan T — Google review
My first time trying Magnolia Bakery and fell in love. I have the brown sugar cookie and the hot chocolate with oat milk and it was very delicious. This is great stop for quick sweet treat. I've heard great things about the banana pudding, I'll try it next time.
Ashley F — Google review
Finally tried Magnolia Bakery’s famous banana pudding—totally worth the hype. Creamy, fluffy, with real banana chunks and soft wafers that melt right in. Sweet but not too heavy, and dangerously easy to finish in one sitting. A NYC must-try dessert—approved and devoured.
Samara L — Google review
This is a classic. I don’t think it needs any more recommendation. I obviously got the banana pudding and I was very surprised at how good it was. I also got the seasonal pumpkin spice pudding, and it was the perfect fall dessert. I cannot recommend the banana pudding enough. I actually thought about ways in which I could bring this back to Europe, so now I’m hoping they would open up a bakery somewhere in Europe.

It was my first time trying the famous banana pudding. I did not expect to like it that much. It is definitely not to be missed whenever you visit here. We also got pecan cheesecake which was good as well. It was rich and heavy.

Milk Bar, created by Chef Christina Tosi, is a dessert empire with eight locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn. The flagship store offers an expanded menu of inventive desserts and customizable sweets. The branch on Vanderbilt Avenue provides a sunny outdoor seating area and serves a special cereal milk latte alongside classic coffee options. This laptop-friendly cafe encourages a one-hour limit during busy times and has a no-laptop policy on weekends.
Great atmosphere inside, the neon lights and mirrors around really add to it. The sample of the milk bar pie was very welcoming (and tasty). The cornflake cookie is also fantastic, will come again

Delicious desserts for all hours of the day. I had the Milk Bar pie and Sundae combo deal. They were both good. The vanilla soft serve ice cream is a cereal milk tasting flavor which my husband did not like. He thought it was good but his flavor of choice. The pie was very rich maybe too rich for me. Eating it together was delicious though. Prices were good. Selection was good. Seating available was good. It’s a nice place to sit and satisfy your sweet tooth for sure.

Had this place recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! We ordered the lemon meringue pie and cereal milk soft serve, and it definitely satisfied our sweet tooth. The girl taking our order was also super sweet. Would definitely visit again if I’m ever in NYC again!
Rizka B — Google review
This place has definitely gone way downhill. The employees don’t care, the music is too loud and this is what a “Pie and Soft Serve” looks like. Everyone understands that when someone orders pie and ice cream, the ice cream should be on top of the pie. And also the pie should be warm. Here instead you get this and the pie is refrigerated solid out of a box. Very dissatisfying
Prasenjit M — Google review
Honestly? Average. Just average. I came here expecting a fun, creative dessert stop something sweet to wrap up the night, but everything just kind of fell flat. The snacks looked cute, sure, but the flavors were uninspired. Our drinks were lukewarm, the sugar hit too strong, and it all felt like the staff was more eager to close up than serve something memorable. Quick notes for fellow dessert hunters: Service: Polite and minimal, just enough to take the order and move things along. Food: Ok. It's ok. Atmosphere: Clean enough, but the energy was as tired as the drinks. Nothing terrible, but nothing special either. Out of everywhere I visited in NYC, this was the most forgettable stop, which is saying something in a city full of flavor.

Really beautiful and vintage old 50s diner. Living for it! Staff really kind. Looks clean. Taste not as hyped for, and kinda expensive. But still a good place to hangout for a little bit and get a coffee.

Cake shop
From Lucie is a charming bakery in NYC that has quickly gained popularity for its enchanting and art-inspired cakes. The owner, Lucie Franc de Ferriere, draws inspiration from her French countryside upbringing and background in art to create beautifully imperfect cakes topped with flowers and foliage. The bakery offers a variety of epicurean flavors such as Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Lavender Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Poached Pear and Raspberry Almond Cake with Brown Butter Maple Buttercream.
I discovered this adorable bakery very randomly, it was actually from searching for a neighboring store on Google maps and I had seen the name so I looked it up and immediately thought how cute it looked, so I added it into the plans and I’m so glad I did. I took a piece of carrot cake to go and when I finally dove in for my bites, I was blown away. I went back a few mornings later and decided to enjoy a piece of carrot cake and an orange blossom latte while sitting at one of the outdoor tables and it was just as delicious as the last and it was such a peaceful area to sit and relax. The staff was so helpful and friendly which made it even more lovely to support this small business. You earned a lifelong customer from Key West and I can’t wait to come back!

tried From Lucie's stout cake at a pop-up today and without ever stepping foot in this bakery before, I now want to go and live there and try every single cake this extraordinary Pastry Chef makes. The stout cake was unbelievable. At first I was amazed by how gorgeous the cake looked. I was in awe of the flowers, decoration, and just absolute loveliness of it. Then, I tasted it, and wow, my son and I stayed quiet for a moment. That's how special it was... I soon went around asking at this pop-up (that had nothing to do with cake) what bakery this cake was from? Who are they? What magic is this? Yes, this cake was magical...I haven't tried like it before...and if you haven't tried her cakes before either, please do. I am so happy we got to and I so look forward to trying another one of From Lucie's creation soon...very soon. If the person who made the stout cake today is reading this... thank you! We absolutely loved it.

Cakes look beautiful but don’t quite live up to the hype. The frosting-to-cake ratio is often off, and the floral decorations are overdone. Tried olive oil cake with lemon frosting, vanilla cake with earl grey, and chocolate cake with espresso salted fudge, the last one was way too heavy. Portions are small for the price. Overall, looks great but taste and balance need improvement.

Dear Lucie, It was honestly the best, most beautifully decorated birthday carrot cake we’ve ever had!!! So deliciously moist and fluffy, but not too sweet, and the cream cheese frosting is straight up CRACK!!! Thank you for making our cake with love!

i got a mini carrot cake and instantly fell in love!!! 🧸❤️ not only was the frosting perfectly sweetened, but the cake itself was flavorful and moist. it had a lovely balance of sweet and spice! although prices are on the higher end, the quality and decorative touch make it worth the price. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their cake flavors and pastries! :)

delicious baked goods!!! this bakery has not only my favorite chocolate chip cookie in manhattan, but also a plethora of other amazing desserts. some of my other favorites would have to be the lemon thyme bar and carrot cake (gluten-free). i love how everything is presented so beautifully with flowers on top. i’m also a fan of the cute outdoor seating. highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. :)

I felt a little concerned seeing the reviews about the cake being dry but i am glad i took the chance and tried it. unfortunately they didnt have a mini chocolate that day so had to try the carrot cake which was super nice. not too sweet! over all agood decision. As for the size Perfect for 2 people! Would love to try the choc next time

I’ve been wanting to visit for ages and finally made it to try the beautiful treats at from lucie- can confirm, pretty AND amazing. Bakeries are pretty much my #1 passion as a New Yorker, and maaaany disappoint, particularly when it comes to chocolate chip cookies; these were a top contender- simple, perfect texture, thin, buttery, and delicious! I also love they have GF treats that pass with flying colors. Cutest store, would shout it from the rooftops, but I’m sort of sick of all the good spots being taken over… so hoping this spot stays a perfectly appreciated small gem in the city ❤️

Amy's Bread is a popular bakery and cafe located in Hells Kitchen, offering a variety of artisanal breads, sandwiches, pastries, and beverages for dine-in or takeout. Since 1992, this charming spot has been serving up delightful French-style pastries, cakes, breads, and cupcakes. It's conveniently situated between the Space Museum and Times Square.
I visited Amy’s Bread around 9:00 am and loved how peaceful it was with no crowd at that time. I ordered a coffee and their pistachio croissant braid, and both were absolutely delicious! The bakery had a cozy and quiet atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to start the day.

This place had the friendliest service. The older gentleman behind the counter was so nice, answered all my questions, and even let us wash our hands behind the bar. The pistachio croissant was amazing, the bagel was great, and the cinnamon challah bread was delicious. The muffin was solid, and the banana cake was like a super moist banana bread. We bought some sourdough to go, and he even threw in a couple of baguettes for us! It's a really cute little bakery with plenty of seating in the back. Oh, and the sticky bun was heavenly.

Tried the pistachio croissant twist at Amy’s Bread—flaky, buttery, and perfectly layered with a rich pistachio flavor. Sweet but balanced, with a delightful crunch and soft center. Pairs perfectly with coffee and captures that classic artisanal bakery charm.
Flora — Google review
Amy's Bread is within the Chelsea Market (see photos), on 9th Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. Taxis are easily accessible from there to get you to your next destination. I had the banana cake ($7.08 including tax) which, as a whole, was very good. The flavor of the cake had a pleasing banana taste (as it should), while the white frosting, which was tasty, did not enhance the cake because its pleasing flavor was strong and blocked out the flavor of the cake when the two were together on the fork. The few nuts on top of it had no taste. A few weeks later I tried their butterscotch cashew bar, pictured ($5.00). The butterscotch flavor was strong and pleasing, but there was almost no contrast of flavor with the cashews because most of them had no recognizable flavor, as was with the nuts on the banana cake mentioned above. I tried their Hell's Kitchen bakery (9th Avenue at about 47th Street), on February 28th, 2025, it was very disappointing. Their sticky bun WAS, many years ago, considered to be one of the best. NOW, I think that it is one of the poorest versions. The sticky and tasty flavor was only on the top of the bun, the rest was close to flavorless. Their tuna sandwich on that day was the most unrecognizably flavored tuna sandwich I have ever had (rate it 0).

Amy’s Bread was a must try since I’m a huge fan of anything sourdough. Overall, it wasn’t my best costumer serving experience or waiting time for ordering and paying but the product was very tasty and earned a 3 star. The cinnamon raisin bagel was decent and tastes great with cream cheese.

Service was friendly. I was expecting to smell the scent of fresh baked bread or pastries when I walked in but sadly I didn't. Maybe this is a telltale sign.... I have heard so much about this bakery that I was excited to visit and try their goodies. Unfortunately, it was just ok. Nothing spectacular. The oat scone looked really good but it was on the dry side. Flavorwise it reminded me of the fall. The olive twist had a nice chew but was on the salty side for my personal tastes. I am glad to have tried but would not go out of my way to come back unfortunately.

Very cozy place! We ordered to go so unfortunately we didn't get the chance to fully experience the place's vibe. We had a cream cheese and a PB&J bagel, plus a coffee. The bagels were tasty with a nice texture, and the filling quantity was well balanced.

Bakery
Nestled in the vibrant Lower East Side of Manhattan, Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery has been delighting dessert enthusiasts since its inception in 2003. This charming bakery is a haven for cupcake lovers, offering an array of flavors that include the classic Sunshine Cupcake with its delightful vanilla cake and buttercream frosting. Beyond cupcakes, visitors can indulge in cookies, banana pudding, and even vegan options.
I picked up 20 Vegan cupcakes (3 different flavors) for a small event I was having for my husband’s birthday. I order the fully chocolate, the black/white cupcakes and plain vanilla. The cupcakes were delicious and everyone loved them. Mind you I’m the only Vegan and wanted to see how people felt about them before sharing they were Vegan. I will definitely be ordering from them in the near future. Lastly, the employee that handed me the order on Friday evening, he seemed really nice and bubbly!

Chloe — Google review
Friendly staff, pretty cool variety of pudding flavors, of which you can get one free small spoon taste (sweet stuff!). Cupcakes also not bad to very good, although best to ask them which are the freshest, as I think a pistachio I bought and ate right after purchase was noticeably a little drier than what I think good cake should be, vs a chocolate one also from that same day that I ate 48 hours later (amazingly surviving through plane flights). I didn’t ask if they were baked at the same time, but the man did mention that if I came back the next day, a new batch wouldn’t be ready til 3 or 4pm, which is why I bought that evening instead.

This place is amazing! I called the morning-of needing a vegan chocolate cake big enough to feed 10 people for later that night. The cake was ready in a few hours and it was DELICIOUS. They seriously helped me out and I will definitely be coming back to try new flavors (and ordering in advance this time lol)

Love this place. Love the fact I can have vegan cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies here. Coffee (we’re talking classic brew here) and tea for $1,- is a wonderful add-on to all the sweetness. Various yummy-looking desserts (you’ll have to try them for me😉). Moved to Grand street, it’s more visible and accessible. Now get over here and have yourself a sweet time🩷

Ran over to this bakery for some sweet treats just before they closed. I’ve been dying to taste the pistachio cupcakes and pound cake. I ended up ordering 2 pistachio cupcakes and 1 lemon cupcake ( they were closing and didn’t have enough time to decide). Upon tasting all the cupcake I will say I thought it was all just OK. Good but just ok. I didn’t like the sprinkles and glitter added to each of the cupcakes and I wasn’t a fan of what tasted like marshmallow icing on the pistachio cupcakes. Now the lemon cupcake was great. More my cupcake speed minus the sprinkle and glitter. I can definitely go for another lemon cupcake sometime in the future. There is a pudding refrigerator in the back with really nice layers of flavor that I’d love to try on another visit . The bakery doesn’t have a lot of seating and the staff are really nice. The pricing is also reasonable for the city. I will try to return soon.

I came here in my childhood days for their renowned banana pudding and didn't think I'd end up visiting again for an entirely different request so many years later. I ordered a vegan dark chocolate cake with mocha filling and my friend absolutely loved it! Peggy was very patient & accommodating on the phone and via email to make sure the cake would come out exactly how I wanted.
Amy L — Google review
Update (8/16): went with the ooey gooey today and was not disappointed. Also had a chance to visit the new(ish) location on Grand (note that it moved last September from its Rivington St location). And a blessing to see both co-owners in the shop today! *** I am so happy I stumbled upon this wonderful bakery at least ten years ago. While I lived in the City, I trekked down to the Lower East Side often just to get what I consider the best cupcake in NYC: Sugar Sweet Sunshine's spicy pumpkin. The bakery is appropriately named, as it fills you with happiness and the food equivalent of sunshine. The cupcakes - unlike most of the famous ones in the City - will remind you of the ones that moms used to make for birthday parties while we were all in primary school. The women who own this spot are true gems, and I'm so happy to see it still thriving. Go support it, and you will not be disappointed.

Oh my gosh....my sister had a custom cake made for my birthday, and when I tell you I was shocked I was literally speechless from our server bringing the cake out till they finished singing happy birthday. For context, I make grommet headbands and so my sister showed Empire my headband instagram and they came up with this masterpiece. The black part looks exactly like the headbands I make, and the combination of my sister having this made plus the Empire staff bringing the vision to life (and perfection) made me feel so loved and happy. On top of that, my sister made sure it was carrot cake (my favorite) and it was one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had. I couldn't have had a better birthday and that's because of this cake<3 THANK YOU EMPIRE! If you want to check out my headbands lol my instagram is @gromaenyc !!!

When I went to pickup my cake a day before, I almost had a heart attack when I saw the handwriting and I’m glad I had decided to open the box at the store. When I brought it up, they immediately fixed it to cursive and more aesthetic inscription. We chose the lilikoi flavor (passion fruit) and it was very fresh and delicious. We had a few friends coming over later and they all enjoyed. I wish they had the option to add the inscription with the same frosting color, but white was good enough, and I appreciate that they followed this ask when adding the note online. I would order from here again.

Always an amazing cake or two on display in the window. Went near closing on a bad weather night and store had good amount of customers before and after me so very popular. The two servers were helpful and friendly. Enjoyed a few cupcakes. Really liked their frosting - not overly sweet.

I ordered 12 of the cupcakes (one of each flavor) . One slice of strawberry one slice of vanilla of the cakes A black and white cookie, a Twix, a Swiss roll, a rainbow layer, chocolate chip chunk large and regular size and the frosting filled chocolate chip cookie. I also ordered the rainbow spritz an orange shortbread and i forgot the name of the one that has two small 1.5 inch cookies pressed together with a thin i think leche filling. I’m a home processor cottage bakery baker, i make baked goods in brooklyn- and so i go to bakeries and buy all the things i would want to bake myself to taste what’s happening out there. Empire cake absolutely is HAPPENING out there!!! (I mean it’s been doing that for a while now I’m just totally late to the game) The cake in the vanilla cake and strawberry cake has a beautiful taste and texture. The strawberry frosting is delicious. The vanilla frosting also delicious though it didn’t kick my socks off as much as the strawberry. Each cupcake was its own mini experience of happiness baked in a wrapper and frosted to perfection.

Ladybird Bakery, a beloved 32-year-old establishment in Brooklyn, is known for its classic and traditional sweet treats. The compact neighborhood shop offers a variety of house-made cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other delectable specialties. Customers can enjoy customized cakes with expertly frosted designs and a range of flavors. Notably, the bakery's signature Brooklyn Black Out cake features layers of dark chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and decadent frosting.
FANTASTIC LOCAL DESSERT BAKERY 🧁 Great to see Lady Bird back up and running in a new location. The cakes are very good and come in different sizes. Known for their “Brooklyn Blackout” cake for the chocolate lovers and it also comes as a cup cake that’s more manageable in size. My favorite is the pecan fudge bar… it’s a must try. Overall, all the dessert items are very good! Highly Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ladybird Bakery is hands down my favorite bakery in NYC. I’ve been enjoying their sweet treats since I was a child and their Brooklyn blackout cake is truly out of this world. Perfectly sweet, rich, & moist with the most beautiful decorative details. I was surprised with one this Valentine’s Day and like always, it was absolutely divine. You simply have to try the chocolate cake or any other delicious desserts. You won’t be disappointed.

Ladybird made the cake for our wedding in spring 2025. We highly recommend them! They were great to work with, and the cake was beautiful and delicious. Also, the tasting is a blast — you get to try every combination of their cakes, frostings, and fillings. :)

We just had Ladybird cakes at our wedding and can't recommend them enough! They tasted phenomenal and were VERY reasonably priced when compared to other quotes we got. Ladybird was actually running a sale for the offseason too. It seemed to me that they charge fairly for the ingredients and labor, but don't gouge just because the word “wedding” is involved. We had a great time at the bakery tasting ingredients and building our custom cake. Once we chose our flavors, Melanie did a beautiful job matching the buttercream flowers to our actual flowers. Our secondary cake, a Brooklyn Blackout cake, was one of the best chocolate cakes we've ever had and the chocolate lovers were very happy! The delivery went off without a hitch, and we will be back for some Brooklyn Blackout cake on our anniversary.

The stars of the show are definitely the pastries, baked goods, and desserts but I ordered a savory avocado toast in my last visit to Hani’s and it was truly exquisite, probably the only avocado toast in the entire city that’s actually worth the price. It was presented so beautifully that I hesitated eating it, but it was just as delicious as it looked. I love this cafe. The vibes, atmosphere, music, service, everything - is top notch.

This area bustles with many bakeries and we did a bakery crawl starting here first! The place is super cute and small as well. It has extra seating just outside Food : We tried their famous cinnamon bun and it was good. The bread was super soft and the flavours was lovely. The only thing that didn’t work was that it was too sweet. The cream on top was yum but too sugary Service and wait : Even though there was a long line and too many customers, the line moved quick and the staff was super sweet and helpful. Ambience : Small quaint place and with limited seating inside. Overall a good bakery with not just cinnamon roll but pies, pudding and cakes.

Second time going go Hani’s bakery. Went early enough to get the cinnamon bun. I was underwhelmed. Loved the icing but not the actual bun. Very good portion though, it’s huge. Could barely finish it. I did love the raspberry loaf. Had the triple chunk cookie the first time I went and it was just okay. Limited seating. So be prepared to take out.

Service here is amazing! Staff is super nice but the food was okay. I got the carrot cake and the flavors of the cake were nice. But the cake overall was a little dry for a carrot cake. Also I wouldn't go out of my way to make the trip go to this place. The prices are a lil expensive for what they deliver. It is hard to compete with other pastry shops that offer better with the same price range. For this price point I expected a little more because it wasn't anything to write home about. I hope they get better in the future!

Carlo's Bakery, owned by Buddy Valastro of the reality show Cake Boss, is a renowned bakery with multiple locations across the United States, including two in New York City. The bakery offers a variety of delectable treats such as cookies, cannoli, and elaborate cakes. One of their popular items is the rainbow cake - a six-layered vanilla cake filled with sweet vanilla icing and covered in rainbow sprinkles.
Growing up, I watched Cake Boss and I always wanted to try Carlo’s Bakery! I missed coming my first time to NY/NJ, so I knew this time I had to come in and try Carlo’s Bakery! I had a great experience and the quality of the pastries was superior…very fresh! No line, no wait. Staff were friendly! First time trying a lobster tail, and I think that’s my new favorite dessert! Thanks for fulfilling a piece of my childhood!!

Just doordash a mini rainbow cake, donuts, cookies and cannolis since we are in Jersey celebrating my daughter 5th birthday. Got her a rainbow cake and decided to get some desserts. The desserts all tasted old. Cannoli filling tasted spoiled. I did a late night order, early morning delivery so it appears the desserts were from the previous day or two.. everything went in the trash. Luckily I bought the rainbow cake for the look (since it’s bright and colorful) and not for the taste as i’m sure that will also get trashed. What a waste of money! Would never recommend and tell anyone I know to stay away from this bakery in Hoboken. Absolutely the worst!

I bought a cannoli, a cheesecake, a lobster tail, and sfogliatelle, and honestly, everything was just inedible. Each pastry tasted like pure sugar — so extremely sweet that it was impossible to eat. I don’t know if they keep adding more and more sugar or if they use some kind of syrup instead, but the result is simply awful. The cheesecake didn’t taste like cheesecake at all — it was more like slippery, greasy butter with no real cheese flavor. The cannoli shell tasted like stale bread, and the sfogliatelle were not fresh. The so-called cheese filling was hard and didn’t even taste like cheese. Trying these desserts is enough to cure anyone from eating sweets ever again. Absolutely not worth the hype.

We traveled way out of our way to visit this place and it was a bust. First, I had to go to another restaurant to take my child to the bathroom due to them not allowing customers to use it.. we order canoli, e'clair (about $7) and donuts and we were very disappointed. The cream inside the e'clair was frozen or suuuuper hard. The canoli's tasted like soggy bread at almost $7/ canoli thr donuts were just plain. For us 4 dishes was about $30, the place wasn't clean. Just unwelcome and not what I'd expect. There was no waiting as it was 4pm on a Saturday. Never been to NJ and my one stop 1hr out of our way was this bakery. Our excitement died when we open the door. :(

I was on vacation and traveled from Puerto Rico to New Jersey! I was so exited to visit Carlos's Bakery at Hoboken after visiting Time Square location I arrived and there was no costumers... when I asked there was no lobster tails... I asked for 2 regular canolis, 1 pumpkin spice, 1 peanut butter and 1 smore... I get home with one regular, one pumpking spice and 2 peanut butter... What a deception they weren't fresh... after having them at Time Square location fresh this is so disappointing 😞 I brought them back to Passaic to share with my family... now I know why my cousin doesn't like the bakery at all, I get her if this was her first impression...

Veniero's Pasticceria & Caffe is a bustling Italian bakery that has been in operation since 1894. Located in New York City, this establishment is known for its delectable cannoli and coffee, all enjoyed beneath a stunning stained-glass ceiling. In addition to these signature offerings, the bakery also boasts an extensive selection of pastries including tarts, cream puffs, cakes, and more.
Veniero’s is hands-down one of the best dessert spots in NYC. Every visit feels like stepping into a sweet little piece of history. Their Fruit Tart is an absolute showstopper. The buttery crust is perfectly crisp, the custard is silky smooth, and the fresh fruit on top is always vibrant and bursting with flavor. It’s as beautiful as it is delicious. But the real star for me was the Fruit Cheesecake. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness, it strikes the perfect balance. The fresh fruit topping adds a refreshing, tangy contrast to the dense, luscious cheesecake base. It’s one of those desserts you dream about days later. Service is friendly, and the old-school charm of the place makes it feel warm and welcoming. This place is an East Village gem. Whether you're grabbing something to-go or sitting down for a coffee and dessert, you can't go wrong .

We were looking for some dessert for after dinner and this place was closed by. We had some apple mince pie, a slice of tart, a puff pastry with fresh cream and strawberries and affogato. I think some of the dessert like mince pie should be warm up for it to taste good. The Affogato was a bit small and the tart was extremely sweet with no other flavours to cut it. Overall, big place with many seats and a great varieties of dessert to choose from!

TL;DR: Classic East Village bakery with tons of variety priced by weight. Great to grab a mixed box after dinner. Consistent quality and fair prices. I go every trip. Veniero’s is my go to pastry stop in NYC. You can mix and match minis instead of committing to one big cannoli. I like the fruit tarts, the chocolate chip dome, and the small layered cakes. Everything has been fresh and not overly sweet. The vibe is old school New York with long glass cases and a steady crowd. It gets busy at night, but the line moves. Prices feel fair for the quality. Pro tip: build a small box so you can taste a few different things. Easy walk-over stop after drinks or dinner, and you can usually eat outside if it is not packed. Staple spot.

This charming bakeshop specializes in traditional American sweets, all crafted with sustainable ingredients in an eco-friendly environment.

I drove past a cute and vintage-looking cupcake bakeshop and thought, “Oh my gosh, it’s so adorable!” I grabbed coffee just two minutes away and wanted something different from the coffee shop. So, I decided to walk to the bakeshop, and I have never had such amazing cupcakes in my life! I tried the strawberry shortcake, carrot, coconut, and red velvet cupcakes. The bread itself was so fluffy and not too sweet, just perfect. The frosting was just right! I highly recommend this place. I also tried their almond croissant, which I’ve never had anything like before!

I have been to the city many times over the past few years. I finally made my way into this gem of a bakery. Between the cakes, muffins and pies there is something for your palate. I chose the carrot cake cupcake. It did not disappoint. There was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. There was a hint of ginger and it was moist but not wet as some carrot cakes/muffins can be. The cream cheese frosting was soooo good. I wish had also gotten the hostess cupcake. Yes that’s right like the ones from your childhood. Except these are made fresh and not processed. See photo. Thanks to the staff who were super nice and the ambiance is what I would expect of a fanciful bakery. My rating is 5 stars.

Such a cozy little cupcake spot in Nolita — it feels super homey, like everything was baked with love right in someone’s kitchen. The vegan cookies and cream cupcake was seriously delicious (moist, not overly sweet), and the red velvet was really good too. Definitely want to come back to try their popular chocolate cake next time. Only downside is that their website could use a little refreshing — it doesn’t quite match how cute and warm the shop feels in person.

Popped in to try some sweets. The S'mores bar was a 3.5/5 as it was a little dry. The Nutella Bar was a 4/5. The Apple Crumb Bar was a 5/5 and was by far my favorite. I'd come back just for that. The service was great as the staff members were super nice and professional and there was no wait.

Giving stars because the shop looks nice and the workers were decently understanding when I expressed my concerns about their brownies. The cupcakes and brownies are very overrated and too sweet.

My daughters treated me to a delicious raspberry vegan bar 3 years ago. I loved it!!! They have since shipped the same bars to me out of state. Came into town to spend my birthday with them and upon my arrival… my favorite bar waiting for me. I was so excited until I had my first bite and immediately noticed the bar is simply not the same bar. The crust is now very cake-like and devoid of flavor. The ingredients that made this bar my go to dessert in NYC have definitely changed and not for the better. It’s as if the ingredient list has been pared down to the bare minimum and the taste and texture reflects this sad change. Unfortunately, I will not return to LCB while visiting NYC nor ask for a special shipment.

Breads Bakery is a spacious and bright bakery located in the heart of Union Square, NYC. Co-founded by Gadi Peleg and baker Uri Scheft, this bakery is known for its carefully crafted artisan breads and pastries. The menu includes legendary chocolate babka, decadent rugelachs, dense brownies, beautiful challah, and other delightful treats.
Popular bakery on the ground floor of an apartment complex. Fragrant even before you step in, it’s bustling with visitors in line to check out. Frequently restocked shelves of different pastries. The palmiers here were a lovely treat to get, petite but full of buttery sweet flavor. Staff are prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. It’s fast paced inside but wonderful to smell everything.

Very tempting butter aroma, the croissant was really good, with almond filling inside and a cookie-like crispy outside. Maybe the croissant was so good that the cinnamon roll looked ordinary. The store also sells sandwiches, lunch salads and soups, with a lot of choices. It is a bakery that has won many awards, I will come back to buy croissants and try other foods.

Signs announcing that this bakery has been awarded best baguette and best croissant are all over the walls of this bakery with good reason. Upon entering, you’re confronted with a really mesmerizing display of breads and pastries, and the bakers in-store are happy to discuss their products and help you make a selection. Because I am limited to the confines of my human organs, I could not eat everything and picked an almond croissant and a chocolate rugelach. The almond filling was delicious and smooth, and nothing was too sweet: completely perfect. I’m a little traditional with rugelach, and I think this felt a little more like a mini chocolate croissant to me, but it was delicious nonetheless! Will be returning.

Total waste of money. Insane you buy an almond croissant and you get neither of the distinctive traits that makes a pastry an almond croissant: the studded almond crust on top, and the almond filling inside. My crust had literally two tiny flakes of an almond. That’s it. 2 shavings. And absolutely nothing inside. Even as a basic croissant this sucked, it was flat and had no lift or air inside. Staff were nice but they can’t save this total disappointment of a pastry. Edit: In response to the reply, there was nothing inside. Zoom in on the pics and judge for yourself.

Thank you! Truly. Thanks for not making me late for work this morning. I saved $12 and got a healthy breakfast from my work fridge instead. Win-win. I usually stop by 2–6 times a week for the carb-loaded goodness. Lately, though, I’ve discovered a new perk here: the staff’s talent for such engaging conversations with each other that customers at the register become invisible. Watching 4–5 staff members ignore you on your way to work is… impressive. I leave with money still in my pocket and arrive at work on time. I’m starting to think this might be the best deal in town.

Went to the Union Square location- lives up to its reputation as a go-to spot for artisan breads and delectable sandwiches. We started with their sourdough bread to go, which is a standout. The slow-fermented organic sourdough had a perfect balance of tangy flavor and a chewy, airy crumb, encased in a golden crust. If you’re a sourdough enthusiast, this is a must-try. The olive and cheese breadsticks were another highlight. And we also got croissant and palmiers were superhit. They were a fantastic snack on their own. We sat and I ordered the egg salad sandwich. My wife ordered the roasted bell peppers sandwich with cream cheese on sourdough bread was the star of the meal. The roasted bell peppers were sweet and smoky, paired beautifully with the rich, tangy cream cheese. The sourdough bread provided a sturdy yet soft base that soaked up the flavors without falling apart. The combination was simple yet executed with such precision that every bite was a delight. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. Prices are on the higher side, as expected for an artisan bakery in NYC, but the quality justifies the cost.

Billy's Bakery is a popular bakery with multiple locations in Manhattan, offering a variety of cakes, cupcakes, pies, and cheesecakes. The bakery is known for its modern and old-fashioned classic cakes like Confetti, Bourbon Salted Caramel, and the retro Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Despite its unassuming appearance, the Pineapple Upside Down Cake boasts rich flavors with a burnt-sugar bite from being baked in a cast iron pan.
Fantastic experience! I called the bakery to ask about getting a cake with custom frosting, and the two guys who answered were incredibly kind, helpful, and informative. They made everything so easy over the phone. I stopped by later that day (April 8th around 6:30pm), and within 10 minutes, I had my cake picked out and the custom message frosted exactly how I wanted it. Customer service was truly top-notch - both of the staff members were professional, warm, and efficient. I ended up choosing the banana cake with cream cheese, and it was beyond my expectations. So delicious! Thank you for the great service and the amazing cake. So grateful to have found this place!

Been there twice in 1 week, while spending the holidays in NY with my family. The staff is so nice and friendly, and you can really taste authentic American pastries - cupcakes, cheesecake, pies of any kind, brownies and sì much more. As an Italian, I strongly recommend it!

I went to Billy’s bakery for the first time and I got a red velvet cupcake (my personal favorite flavor) and it was amazing, love the texture of the cupcake and the cream cheese frosting brings it all together. Will definitely go back to try more. 💯

When I showed up with this cake, which was already a surprise for the special guest, she immediately saw the bag and was ecstatic to see it was from Billy's Bakery. They depicted Miffy perfectly, and the taste was also spot on! Would definitely order with BB again in the future for any occasion!

Customers also rave about their pillowy bomboloni, Italian donuts filled with various flavors such as tart jam, chocolate, and lemon-scented vanilla cream.
Stopped by for the second time while my car is being serviced at Lexus. This is a very nice cozy bakery with comfortable seating. Great looking selection of pastries, breads and sandwiches. Today I had the scone with chocolate and an Americano coffee. Came with a small biscotti. Both were very good. Lots of take out business and many locals seem to sit in and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Several people doing business on their computers. Bathroom is spacious and clean. Definitely will go again.

West Side Diamond in the rough 👍👍 Sullivan’s has fresh baked breads, pizza, sandwiches, & wine. The breads will likely be the highlight since it is sold to restaurants in the area. It is a quaint spot with a hip crowd. PROS: 1) quality & freshness 2) good lunch options 3) wine & Mimosa is a nice touch 4) established on a quiet street 5) outdoor seating CONS: 1) uncomfortable chairs & stools 2) $5 for a donut. Ouch

On a particularly warm and golden Wednesday afternoon, a few friends and I made our way to Sullivan Street Bakery—a spot I had been meaning to visit for some time. Nestled on West 47th Street, the space had an inviting charm: sunlit interiors, rustic tiling, and that unmistakable scent of fresh bread weaving through the air. We ordered: – Strecci Pomodoro – simple, satisfying, and rich with the kind of flavor that speaks to well-honed craft. – Peach Pastry – golden, flaky, and gently sweet, with a seasonal brightness that landed just right. The food, without question, was enjoyable, and the interior carried a kind of quiet, rustic hospitality that made it easy to settle in. Unfortunately, the experience was dimmed by the service. The barista on duty was noticeably curt, almost dismissive, which shifted the energy in a way that was hard to ignore. And while I’m not one to linger on negatives, there’s something about service—especially in a place that celebrates warmth and craft—that shapes everything. Before we left, we had hoped to try another pastry, but what we saw gave us pause: multiple flies hovering near the display, some landing directly on the pastries. For a bakery of this reputation, it was unexpected—and honestly disappointing. I rarely feel compelled to voice critique, but in this case, the experience didn’t reflect what I had hoped. Still, I recognize the quality of their baked goods and the history behind the name. Perhaps it was just an off day. But in a city full of exceptional bakeries, the details—both in taste and in treatment—matter.

This is hands down the best focaccia bread I’ve had in New York, crispy on the outside, perfectly fluffy on the inside, and always fresh. Everything here is made with care, and it shows. The space is clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot to journal or unwind in the morning. The staff, especially Spencer, are warm and friendly, adding to the overall experience. A true neighborhood gem.

A fabulous addition to my bread-adventures, I braved a walk through times square (which would be terrifying in any conditions) in horribly aggressive wind I swear to god it was like getting run over by a pack of bulls but anyway I survived and I made it and I followed the festive Sullivan Street flag into this fine establishment. I was greeted by a rush of warm, foccacia scented air and an array of beautiful baked things. All of their bread sounded great but I went with the Truccione! An interesting choice since I'm one person and I think it would feed a family of twelve (GREAT price considering that). I'm still working my way through it. It's nice and airy inside, soft, nutty, with a great crust. It's making things like this sandwich you see here possible. I'm over the moon with it. Excited to try more of their breads

This was a lovely unpretentious bakery to have breakfast in. I had the breakfast sandwich, which though my picture of it is unexciting, was delicious, with rich Gruyère’s cheese, sausage and egg in a flaky croissant. I also had a cup of tea, which came from a really nice tea brand called “In pursuit of tea” (which aptly I then pursued to try and find that brand to buy to take home whilst I was there, and then never found). I wish I could have been there longer to try the interesting looking pizzas and pastries, but I did take home a lemon ring doughnut, which even when eaten the next day was fresh, light and just sweet enough, and not greasy, a truly perfect doughnut. Staff were super friendly and there was a nice atmosphere, though probably the seating area could be a bit cosier. Overall, really outstanding baked goods, would definitely revisit.

Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC, formerly known as Baby Cakes, is a charming bakery located in the heart of New York City. It offers a delectable selection of vegan and gluten-free treats, including cupcakes, cookies, donuts, and savory sandwiches. The bakery has been satisfying sweet cravings for over a decade with its commitment to quality ingredients and diverse dietary accommodations. Known for its inventive blend of flavors and textures, every bite at Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC promises a delightful experience.
This place truly makes gluten free and vegan dreams come true. I have been to the location in Orlando, but this one has so much more variety of goodies. I got one of their day old half off deal (a container of two slices of banana bread and a slice of lemon blueberry bread) and it was just as good as fresh! The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for making my visit to NYC so special!

How is this place still living in the early days of vegan baking. These two dry cupcakes were almost $18. One is chocolate and other is lemon it tasted like oil, very disappointed. There are too many good places to try in the city unfortunately won’t be coming back. I did had a lemon loaf a long time ago that was tasty.
Saba N — Google review
My fiancé and I were walking around the area and we unexpectedly stumbled upon this bakery. Initially we were just going to get him a donut but then we realized they were gluten free and allergy friendly so we got the iced lemon blueberry loaf and biscuits as well. The Samoa donut was amazing, soft and moist! The loaf was really good as well. When you go to most gluten free bakeries they over compensate for the lack of gluten with sugar and I usually can’t eat much of it but here they use a good balance of sweeteners, as well as natural ones. I can’t wait to try more items in the future!! The employees were very nice and helpful.

One of my favorite bakeries in the city. Every year my family gets me my birthday cake from Erin McKenna’s and I absolutely love it. I’m a chocolate girl and their brownie cakes are to die for! Occasionally when I’m in the area. I would stop by a grab a cupcake or two because why not! I look forward to eating my birthday cakes every year and can’t wait for this one! Many options and variations of desserts to choose from, if you’re in the area. You have to stop by!

1.plain "bagel" is not a bagel. it doesn't taste good, and is dense and dry. Should be called a scone and have a different shape because so dense and not fluffy at all 2.lemon donut: very good 3.coconut donut: nice texture of the frosting, quite sweet, couldn't eat more than 1/3 4.pumpkin spice loaf (fall): dense (not fluffy) but soft and great flavors. only can eat 1/3 or 1/2 in one sitting. good overall and satisfies your sweet tooth. Could omit frosting, doesn't add much apart from make it sweeter 5.chocolate/brownie bite: dense, very rich, sweet, small and satisfying (almost a bit small), one more bite would be ideal 6.mocha donut: donut base tastes like lemon. frosting taste like coffee. expected the frosting to be crunchy because of the "crumble"-like texture but it tastes like frosting and is smoother than one may think. Very pretty 7.sprinkle (pink) vanilla donut: very good donut, although quite sweet and, once again, dense (not fluffy or light). almost a hint of lemon, perhaps from cross contamination. Took off the frosting 8.chocolate crumb cake : decadent, sweet and rich. syrup glaze on top (chocolate). sort of syrup that is unnecessary. The cake tastes a bit off, probably because I'm used to regular chocolate cake with wheat flour? looks fluffier than it tastes. the top of the cake is sweeter but more moist than the bottom (almost as if cooked in 2 times). too sugary. 9.jalapeño cheddar biscuit: disgusting. dry, tastes off. doesn't preserve well. gross. Staff is friendly, baked goods are ideal for a tea party, dessert for yourself or a gift

Mission: Put together a selection of vegan goodies for my son's 40th birthday. The process: Not being in Manhattan, in fact, being in NC, I had to Google vegan bakeries and there's quite a few. After viewing a dozen websites, I called a half dozen to inquire about building a spectacular selection for a surprise gift. I read over a hundred reviews to determine options and finally came up with what I felt was a perfect variety. Ordering was . . . . a piece of cake, so to speak. We ran through the menu items, decided on quantities and talked about the delivery. I requested pictures before they delivered and they complied and are attached to this review. Courteous, professional, timely and customer focused, and, by the way, the cakes, brownies and cookies were, as I heard, quite delicious. I'm only sorry I didn't get to try anything. 15/10 recommended, you should try it.

Absolutely loved this bakery! I've been waiting years to visit here on pilgrimage from the UK, and got to see the newly refurbished shop interior on the day it reopened in January 2020. Definitely not disappointed - there was a wide range of gluten-free and vegan cakes, cookies and doughnuts available. All of them were great! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and served with the biggest of smiles. Kinda wish I lived across the pond so that I could visit more often, but at least I know now that I'm baking correctly from the recipe books! Looking forward to visiting again someday soon.

Silver Moon Bakery is a charming neighborhood spot that has been serving up artisan breads, French pastries, cakes, and tarts since 2000. The bakery exudes an old-school atmosphere with its cozy interior filled with trays of freshly baked goods. The aroma of their delectable treats fills the air as you step inside. Their croissants are perfectly airy and buttery, just the right size for a delightful indulgence.
Stopped by Silver Moon Bakery and grabbed four different tarts, and honestly, they were all the adjectives that describe great pastries. Flaky, buttery, perfectly sweet, and just melt-in-your-mouth good. You can taste the care in every bite. This place really knows what they’re doing. Definitely coming back to try more.

A fairly standard NYC bakery with fairly standard prices (so a little expensive). Buns and other treats start above $4 and go to about $5.50. They’re not bad at all, and I’d happily come back and grab stuff in a pinch next time I’m around.
Blake R — Google review
The place looks nice and the staff was friendly. However, the prices are ridiculous! Two small tarts cost over $20, and a small cake is $60. A double chocolate cookie is “only” $6.50. I think nothing is cheap in this neighborhood, but this price point is surreal. The taste of the two overrated and super expensive tarts was fine. Nothing worth more than $6. The lemon tart tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a couple of days. The apple tart tasted better. Unfortunately, this was my first and last time giving this local business a chance. I really much support local businesses, but the price point needs to make sense. For this reason, I won’t be going back.

I was invited to dinner at a friend's home and was asked to bring dessert. I bought an apple tart for $50 at this bakery. I never have a problem paying for quality. The apple tart was mediocre at best and certainly not good enough to warrant the $50 price. All who tasted it were in agreement. The staff were friendly and the service was good however that means nothing if the product is not good enough.

Nestled in the heart of Garden City, The French Workshop is a delightful gourmet bakery that captures the essence of French patisserie. With its chic interior, this charming spot offers an array of housemade pastries, artisanal breads, and expertly crafted espresso drinks. The display showcases an enticing selection of treats like flaky croissants and beautifully decorated cakes alongside unique macarons.
Best bakery in the area. I’ve been a long time fan of Martha’s but solidly believe that if you are looking for higher quality baked goods, then you should head a couple blocks over to The French Workshop. There aren’t as many options of different slices of cakes and cheesecakes. Instead, you have an array of intricate desserts and pastries that are a cut above the regular cheesecake + random fruit that you’d get elsewhere. There are also a lot of options for vegans, including cookies, muffins, and breads (look near the register) which is a nice find.

I talked to the supervisor and she acknowledged that it was not working and they called someone to fix the AC . This is why I gave a 4, but I will definitely be back.

So these two cheesecake tarts were purchased yesterday. I was trying to slice the tarts into bite pieces until I saw a hair or a hairlike thing right under the strawberry cheesecake tarts with the syrup that holds the tart to the gold paper. I believe it is hair from the employee, but it looks very fragile. I hope that the employee washed their hair….. I took the hairs out to take a picture and the hairs were definitely inside the syrup under the tart. It can happen, but it can be preventable. I am very uncomfortable and afraid that I have to check their desserts for any hairs in the future. It would be nice if the manager or the supervisor can check for hairs before selling to customers.

As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I never leave negative reviews—no matter how bad the food is—because I understand what goes into it, and I don’t want to do that to my fellow hospitality peers. But as a classically French-trained chef, I can’t stay silent on this one. It’s frankly abhorrent that a shop dares to call itself a “French Artisan Bakery” when it can’t even execute a simple pound cake correctly. I’ve seen 14-year-olds turn out better pound and marble cakes than this place. And at these prices? I’d be mortified to serve something like this. The pound cake was dry as a corpse, cloyingly sweet with an odd chemical sharpness, and had a crumb so brittle it reminded me of a millennial dad’s annual pedicure foot shavings. Nothing here was redeemable. As we say in the industry, “you’re only as good as your last dish.” Save your money—and your palate.

I stopped by to purchase a birthday cake for my husband. Got Red Velvet. It looked pretty, but tasted just a little bit dry (it stayed in our fridge two days until we cut it though). The cream was okay, but I prefer milkier cream cheesier version. I anticipated the best Red Velvet cake and it was not. Since I was inside I could not resist a pastry. Chose a lemon tart. It wasn’t too sweet which I did like. I will shop there again if I am in the neighborhood, but I will choose a different cake next time ( even though Red Velvet is usually one of my favorites ). It is quite convenient that there is a parking lot and Petco next door.

I went tonight after reading the high reviews. It was close to closing time so the cashier had a bit of annoyance when she asked if we were staying and I said—yes. She promptly asked that we make it fast—we did. My curiosity made me overlook this substandard service. I bought the strawberry shortcake, mango kiwi mousse cake and the chocolate croissant. They get a 10 for their presentation but both cakes were disappointing. The mango kiwi mousse cake had a jiggly jello consistency—I did not taste the richness of a mousse—though the flavor was good. The strawberry shortcake felt almost hard and tasted tart. The chocolate croissant would have been the most promising if I had gotten it right after baking. It had the right amount of chocolate but stale from the morning (I hope). I will not be returning here.

Authentic Greek pastries of all kinds. I had to ask my Greek friend what some of the treats were. I got the Baklava, I have not had good Baklava in years. It was sweet and flaky as it should be. My Greek friend got one I couldn't pronounce, she said it is supposed to have more syrup.

During my midday walk, I stumbled upon this fantastic Greek bakery. Walking inside, you are transported to what feels like a combination of a European bakery, and a New York coffee shop. What lies inside of the glass pastry cases are jewels so beautiful that the sight they behold cannot be understood merely by seeing or smelling (much like one’s first experience on the Subway). One must taste to fully understand. Now my experience was somewhat limited by what I ordered, but it should not deter you from the fact that I was an adult in a bakery (just as dangerous as a kid in a candy shop imo) limited by my cash situation and not my desire to eat more. The savory meat pastry was one of the best things I’ve had in New York City. It’s really hard for the average person to understand how impressive it is to achieve what they are doing. The meat pie I had was simply perfect. Flaky phyllo throughout without any gumminess, juicy and flavorful filling stuffed generously inside the buttery layers of dough. I’m not one for transcendent experiences, but I was just out of my mind shocked how good this was. I actually had to stop what I was doing to focus on eating this incredible meat pie. Follow your dreams, follow your taste buds, don’t count the calories, try everything, enter that food coma, have an espresso to get back after it, maybe another, sleep (if you can), repeat.

Poseidon are specialized in greek bakery. I am not very familiar with greek sweets so I tried some that looks friendly to my taste, the baklava, pineapple strudel and galactoburiko or the custard one. I find the baklava very sweet, also the galactoburiko, both literally dipping in sugar syrup, but the cheese in galactoburiko balance it out so I enjoyed it. The cheese and pineapple one is very tasty, not too sweet, anyways, I really like phylo dough so I really enjoyed those. And I love the fact that the shop is a 100 years old!! The shop is tiny but cutely decorated in blue and white, and there's the shop history painted on the wall, very insteresting.

The bakery has an interesting selection of strudels and Greek specialties. They also have a family wall of photos and paintings that give the history of how the business evolved.I’m not Greek but this will be my new favorite bakery.

Supermoon Bakehouse, located in the Lower East Side, is a bakery that has gained popularity for its innovative and visually stunning pastries. Co-founded by Ry Stephen of San Francisco's Mr. Holmes Bakehouse, this bakery offers a unique selection of croissants, donuts, and cruffins (croissant-muffin hybrids). The croissants are described as having a distinctive appearance with rounded corners and a glossy sheen.
Not your typical bakery. I've gotten boxes in the past and I do think their pastries are top notch. I was in the area and stopped in becase I heard there was a summer elote croissant. Good, but I do wish the corn flavor was stronger. The place is not like any other bakery - more lab-like than inviting. The five stars are for my memories of what I remember being one of the better croissants in NYC.
Lisa W — Google review
Supermoon Bakehouse has a very edgy trendy interior mixed with such unique flavor combinations which is what drew me here in the first place. My friend and I had a hard time deciding what to get because everything seemed so interesting. We went with the strawberry matcha croissant, Banana pudding cruffin, and white Sesame, honeycomb & sweet soy gelato. We started by tasting the gelato which wasn't as punchy in flavor as we had hoped. The banana cruffin had great banana custard filling but we wished the textural difference between the pudding and the crisp croissant was more drastic. The matcha strawberry croissant was my personal favorite. ACTUAL matcha flavor which is hard to find nowadays and the croissant was so buttery and held its own against the sweetness of the strawberry! After trying everything else and the gelato melted a little the flavors popped out more! Definitely give this place a shot if you want to try new and interesting flavors!!

I love creative bakeries like this, who don't settle for the ordinary and try the daring. I gave their chilli croissant and the ube eclair a try. The chilli croissant had a nice flaky texture, as you would expect from any good bakery. The chilli cream cheese was inserted in the middle of the croissant, which meant it wasn't evenly distributed. The flavours were nice though and it's worth trying for something different. The ube eclair was done well. The choux pastry was just right. The uber icing and ube centre was just the right level of sweetness, with little candy pieces decorated on top, giving a nice crunchy texture. It was certainly the highlight. Would definitely recommend stopping by to try their creations. Not cheap, but it's all about the art.

Got the spicy nyc croissant (savory, not really spicey, has cream cheese inside with hints of black pepper), and scallion pancake Danish (i like this savory croissant, not spicey, has nice crunch texture, very good, would get this again) Thai tea eclair also very good, tasty, taste just like Thai tea 😁 I was able to sit inside, limited seating. Also it gets busy, so go early,things could sell out and they will post a sold out label in front of the items. I don't go often, but every time I come here there's always a variety of pastries to choose from sweet to savory and all good and worth trying.

Admittedly, social media brought me here, but—unlike other TikTok inspired food journeys—this was well worth it. I see some of the reviews touch on the brutalist architecture of the store, and I understand if that’s not your vibe but I personally loved it: I felt like I was in some video game or sci-fi 80s movie that involved dark warehouses and hidden pastries… although the pastry isn’t hidden: a lineup of croissants, eclairs, cookies and more are displayed along the counter and the very pleasant (and patient) pastry experts behind the counter and very sweet about helping you make a choice. I went with the ube eclair, which is probably the best eclair I’ve ever had. All of their treats are very pretty, but this one has an equally vibrant purple filling and the flavors were the perfect balance of buttery, salty, creamy and sweet. Fully intend on returning because I almost went for the Thai tea eclair and now I want it more.

Finally made a point of visiting this high performance bakery. Very spartan concrete & steel space with the functioning bakery behind a red toned industrial polyurethane curtains. All available items are placed on a 16’ stainless steel island. A little over 20 items were displayed on my visit from ice cream sandwiches to sweet pastries to baguette sandwiches for take away. I chose the passion fruit custard donut, mango lime custard donut, Thai iced tea bi-color croissant, ube éclair along with one scoop of Thai iced tea and Kaya toast gelato & a scoop of sesame honeycomb and sweet soy gelato in a cup. The gelato texture was quite excellent and the flavor was certainly unique and rich. I enjoyed them both. We saved the pastries for an after dinner dessert. The flavor of the passion fruit custard donut & ube éclair were absolutely exemplary. The mango/lime custard donut was very tasty as well. The croissant was larger than most due to the luscious Thai iced tea custard lurking within! All the pastries were filled abundantly! The two gentlemen at the island were all smiles & clearly confident of all the offerings. They were knowledgeable & helpful too. The items are expensive but that’s more a statement of the quality ingredients & labor intensive demands of each handmade product. I highly suggest a visit. It is a very worthwhile trip.

Talk about cool…. This place gives retro-futuristic vibes, like I could see a robot serving up the orders but also an actual really cool human waitress. The customer divide was nice and the pastries were even better. I do not like eclairs at all - or so I thought. The Thai tea eclair was soooo good. I also got the strawberry matcha latte croissant and it was divine. The strawberry flavor alone was so delicious like strawberry milk. I love how they were sold out of things but still had a good selection left by the end of the day and it wasn’t stale. Will definitely be back here. It’s not your average bakery

Unfortunately did not have the greatest experience. Got 2 ice cream sandwiches which came to about $24 and the ice cream was melting before even opening the packet. They did add seating in the front so we were able to sit and eat there but it was a mess since the ice cream was essentially soup. There also wasn’t enough staffing to do the work in the back and mind the front so they weren’t helpful with quality control, we ended up asking for spoons because it was spilling out the of package and onto the table. Taste wise, the sandwich part was great, just wish we got to experience it as it was meant to be.

We went on a Sunday so street parking was not that difficult. We got some cupcakes because they looked pretty and the flavors sounded great but they all tasted horrible and were very hard that we each took one bite of each item then threw it out. We also got the pecan bar and a peanut butter Nutella one - both were not worth the price and my kids hated it. We also ended up throwing them out. Also the employee that was helping us seemed very impatient which caused us to feel flustered and I didn’t get to order more than I would usually for trying a bakery for the first time - albeit I have to say it benefited us since we didn’t like anything we did get so would just have been an added waste of money.

Went there because it's the only cafe close to my work. Place is small and expensive. When it comes to food and drink, it's very bad. I had a latte and a cheese biscuit. The biscuit and latte tasted terrible, and it was expensive. I spent more than $10 and had to throw out my drink and biscuit. I would not go there again.

Pretty community-engaged bakery. Cute space with seating inside. 🥐❤️‍🔥Croissant was out of my expectations! Their croissant reminded me of the pineapple bun in Chinese bakeries. It was brick-liked crunchy outside, soft and pliable inside. I made myself a sandwich at home. The apple spiced cake was a classic. Moist but a little bit oily for me. The brownie and cookie thing was the same. Delicious but slightly too oily.

So happy we went with Baked for our wedding cake. From the very first tasting, Annemarie was warm, professional, and easy to work with. On our wedding day, the cake was stunning — it looked exactly how we imagined and tasted incredible. We ended up going with the citrus passionfruit, red velvet, and almond matcha (our personal favorite). Usually not a cake person, but Baked cakes are undeniably delicious

Our wedding guests continue to tell us how great our desserts were—even many months later! So we had to make sure to send our thanks to Baked! We had a cutting cake with two different flavors: Oopsy Daisy on the top, Sweet and Salty on the bottom. Then we sent out platters of cupcakes to our tables of those flavors, plus a mix of others. Additionally, we were able to serve some gluten-free and vegan options for guests with dietary restrictions. Annemarie really helped us work through all the details beforehand, and everything turned out perfect on the day of. Again, we cannot thank them enough! Expect us to come back often, and especially on our anniversary, to pick up some treats!

Fay Da Bakery is a Chinese bakery chain that started in 1991 and has expanded to multiple locations in Manhattan, Queens, Connecticut, New Jersey, and China. It offers a variety of Chinese delicacies such as taro buns, pineapple buns, egg tarts, milky sugared coffee, sponge cakes, sesame balls and more. In addition to sweet treats, they also serve savory buns and pies.
Fay Da Bakery was a great stop for bubble tea. The hot bubble tea was only $5, the cheapest we found in Chinatown, and the quality was excellent. The bakery had a lively and bustling atmosphere, with a self-serve setup where you grab what you want and pay at the counter. The staff were friendly despite how busy it was. One thing to note is that there’s a $10 minimum for card payments, so it’s best to bring cash if you’re just getting drinks. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely go back.

Good, but not great. Fay da has quite a bit to offer in variety but the quality is not quite what I remember in the past. I purchased a few taro buns and they were each very poorly filled, and I felt I was mostly just eating plain bread. They do have taro mochi which is good but also not particularly well filled. While prices are cheap, there's better value at other bakeries in the neighborhood. The inside of the bakery has a few tables where you can sit, which is really nice.

Fada Bakary on Mott Street is a beloved neighborhood café that has been serving the local community for years. It specializes in Hong Kong-style pastries and a daily variety of buns with different fillings. The bakery also offers traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea, staying true to authentic flavors.

La Guli Pastry Shop is a long-standing, family-owned Italian bakery located in Astoria. Since its establishment in 1937, this neighborhood fixture has been offering a wide variety of authentic Italian treats, cakes, and baked goods. The shop is renowned for its delicious cannoli with fresh crusts and not-too-sweet creams, as well as its sfogliatelle pastries dusted with powdered sugar.
Their coffee is by far the very best in the neighborhood. It's delicious and always fresh. The girls that work there are sweet, one of them knows my order and is working on it by the time I enter. I've also gotten some cakes and cookies from there that I would say are delicious. They tasted fresh and flavorful, a good choice for my mom's birthday. I do have to say: their signage is a bit much. Nobody needs all that sarcasm and attitude. Please just make a simple sign that says what you will/will not do and keep it brief. We don't need to be patronized or insulted, just tell us if there's an extra charge for a box or bag, if you will or won't give us something, it's all good - your business your terms, but the sign with the whole history lesson about what gasoline cost in the past is more than anybody needs.

Horrible costumer service!! i always order from them on uber eats and they never ever follow any instructions! I asked them to put the order in a plastic bag, since the uber drivers drop the food on the floor, and they never put it in a plastic bag with a box!! I ordered a bunch of pastries and they all arrived sweaty and melted and they had no box and no plastic bag! They were simply put inside of a PAPER BAG!! And nothing protecting between the paper bag and the items. Which then the uber drivers always drop the food on the floor and knowing that there is nothing protecting the food but only a thin paper layer is not okay!

There is definitely an old-world charm to La Guli Bakery, located on Ditmars Blvd. in Astoria. This old Italian family-owned business, whose granddaughter now runs the establishment, has been in the same building for decades. If you are looking for a traditional Italian pastry experience, this has been my go-to since my childhood. They used to be the best bakery, hands down. From homemade cakes to gelatos, you name it—they were fantastic. I make it a point to visit here every once in a while, and today was the day before they shut down for a week of vacation. Upon entering, my partner and I still had the same feeling and smell of the bakery and had the whole store to ourselves, which made it easier for us to choose the strawberry shortcake, chocolate eclair, fruit tart, and glazed Napoleon. Unfortunately, the freshness wasn’t there, as the cream in the Glazed Napoleon was dry and not even sweet. It’s a shame that a bakery that used to be known for its quality pastries is no longer the same.

Working with Maria at La Guli was such a distinct pleasure. She is a genuinely kind-hearted and caring business owner and knows her baked goods as they are beyond delicious. Wish we lived in the neighborhood so we could come more often. We hired her to do our wedding cake, a traditional Italian layered cake, and cannoli. Where other places either did not do them at all or would charge a premium that was not within our budget, she provided affordability, quality and delicious taste. Our guests loved the unique cake, devoured the cannolis and went back for second helpings. All that considered we still have some in our freezer months later. Do yourself a favor and have La Guli make your next wedding cake. Phot Credit: Jully and Alex Photography

Not what it used to be. Maybe my memory betrays me, but this old-fashioned donut is way sweeter and greasier than a few years ago. It’s contrary to Mah-Ze-Dahr’s philosophy of “not too sweet”. I stopped coming here because they never had the old-fashioned donuts whenever I visited—the brioche donuts are not a substitute. I was ecstatic to see it in the display case as it has been years since I had it, but it’s just not the same. Still pretty good though.

Beautiful cafe on the west side of Greenpoint on a nice street. The sourdough bagel is airier than a regular bagel, With fixings, I think the lack of density can be a little missing. Next time I'd probably just do the bagel with cream cheese. I liked the ham and cheese focaccia especially when I warmed it up on a skillet rotating the surface that touched the bottom. That I do recommend although you should have an appetite. It's a heavy item, very heavy.

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience today 3-3:30PM. I came to pick up a birthday cake I had ordered three weeks in advance for someone very special to me. I chose this bakery because of its great reputation for healthy, gluten-free cakes—and I was genuinely looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the service I received. When I walked in, I greeted the staff warmly with a smile and a “hello.” The woman behind the counter asked for my pickup name, and I gave it—adding that it was for a cake I had pre-ordered. She immediately cut me off and said, “I only asked for your name,” with a smirk, as if I had said something wrong. It felt unnecessarily rude, but I chose to stay polite and move on. What really upset me was what happened next. As she was handing me the cake, it suddenly tilted heavily to one side and nearly slipped out of the box. I had to catch it quickly with my own hands to keep it from toppling over completely. Despite this, she didn’t apologize or check to see if the cake was okay. She simply said, “Don’t worry, it’s fine,” and handed it over as if nothing had happened. Because of the tilt, the glitter decoration—which I had paid extra for—ended up smudged all over the clear part of the cake box. Because I was leaving for the out of town right after, I didn’t have time to request a replacement—but I left the store feeling very upset and disappointed. I also politely asked if they had a plastic knife I could use to cut the cake, and again, her response was dismissive and mocking. She laughed and said, “I’ve never heard of that,” as if it were a ridiculous question. I completely understand if they don’t provide plastic knives—but there’s a respectful way to say that without belittling the customer or comparing other bakeries in a sarcastic tone. And just to clarify, many bakeries do offer plastic knives for convenience—so it wasn’t an unreasonable question at all. I don’t know what kind of day she was having or why she felt the need to treat a customer this way—but for someone picking up a cake for a special occasion, it left a really bitter impression. This one interaction had the power to ruin what should’ve been a joyful and meaningful moment. For a place with such a strong reputation, I hope the management considers the impact staff attitude can have on a customer’s experience. No matter how good the product may be, the service still matters.

Working with Ovenly for our wedding cake was such a breeze! The ease started when they accommodated specific delivery instructions for the cupcake tasters. It went smooth and every taster was AMAZING! We emailed with Lynn and ordered our chocolate Stout with Raspberry filing cake. Around a week before our wedding we were able to add some cupcakes without a problem for non-chocolate loving friends. Lynn was understanding and answered quickly when I checked in just to make sure delivery was set the week before because I was being an anxious bride. Everything was delivered with no issue to the wedding venue day of. Everyone LOVED the cake and cupcakes. People across the room could smell the amazing dark chocolate stout cake once we did the first cut. We got asked for the bakery multiple times. The 12 inch fed a room of ~55 with enough left over for our 1 year anniversary piece to freeze. We loved working with Ovenly and plan on being returning customers for future events.

Ovenly is a solid dessert location with a variety of unique cakes, cookies and cupcakes. We tried the hot chocolate cookie and Brooklyn Blackout cupcake, both of which were tasty and not as overly sweet as some desserts.

Friends and I planned a challenge to visit the best cookies in NYC. Ovenly was our first stop and we came here for its Salted Peanut Butter and the Daily Special - Salted Almond Chocolate Chunk. The Peanut Butter was one of our top 3, soft inside with strong PB smell and crunchy outside. The size was perfect for individuals. The Almond Chocolate Chunk was too salty on the layer and off balance with almond & chocolate. We also got a Ham & Cheese Croissant to share since it looked so appetizing in the display. However, even with our request to heat it up, the croissant was still served cold. It tasted not as good as what we expected. The decor was artsy and adorable with cozy ambiance, so we enjoyed our stay there (dining outside) even in a cold weather.

I ordered a soccer ball theme cake and a sprinkle cover cake for my brother and A hello Kitty, rainbow and cotton candy cake my sister and they were both amazing super full of flavor and perfect for family events and small groups. There were plenty for everyone even seconds. The ordering process was super easy and they were very easy to contact. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a delicious and stress-free cake experience. Can’t wait for the other custom cake. So glad I found a cake store in the Bronx. And for my brothers seventh birthday, they did amazing cake. I try a new recipe and it was so good. I just wish they kind of put less of the frosting and more of the actual cake but it still taste so good. And here are the few pictures that was on the window ant the store and it looked amazing.

Conti’s is the absolute best bakery in the Bronx! I’ve been going to Conti’s for the last 6 years for all occasions. They are prompt with responding to cake quotes, and they make sure to listen to what you want in your designs. I needed custom cupcakes in 24hrs and they made it happen! The staff is amazing, always helpful and kind. Highly recommend if you want fresh cakes and pastries.

Thank you, Conti's Pastry Shoppe, for my custom 55th birthday cake! It was not only beautiful but absolutely delicious. You brought my vision to life perfectly—the customization was exactly what I asked for, and the taste exceeded my expectations. Your team was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. From the initial quote to the adjustments I needed, you made sure everything was just right. I truly appreciated the timely communication and attention to detail. I received so many compliments on my cake, and I will forever recommend your bakery to anyone in need of a cake or any baked goods. Thank you again for making my birthday even more special!

I was searching for a bakery to make my son’s 3rd birthday cake and my co worker recommended Conti’s. It was as easy as going to their website, uploading a picture of the cake and requesting a quote. They responded quickly and the price was reasonable with the option of delivery to my home. It was quick, easy and convenient. I was so pleased with their service and the cake was made perfectly. Exactly how like the picture I uploaded online. And can’t forget the cake was delicious! Everyone loved it.

Fabrique Bakery, a Swedish bakery chain with an NYC outpost, has gained popularity for its delectable cardamom and cinnamon buns. Originating in Stockholm, Sweden, the bakery expanded to London before arriving in New York City last summer. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it a great spot for breakfast or a quick bite. While the massive cinnamon buns are popular, the signature loaves and pastries are also highly recommended for takeaway.
We came specifically for our favorite Scandinavian cardamom bun — and it did not disappoint. Soft, fragrant, perfectly spiced, and just sweet enough, it’s the kind of pastry that makes you stop and savor every bite. There’s something magical about the combination of freshly ground cardamom, buttery layers, and that golden crust. Can’t wait to come back for another.
Kristina Z — Google review
Fabrique’s New York cardamom bun hits the spot when I need a sticky-bun fix, even if it’s not life-changing. Mine wasn’t warm or super fragrant, and the crumb leans dense rather than light and airy—but the cardamom flavor lands nicely, and the caramel glaze keeps it satisfying without veering into sugar overload. Fresh off a European pastry tour, I’d still give this a solid four stars. It won’t dethrone the buns I devoured abroad, yet for NYC it’s a thoughtful, well-made treat. Grab it with a coffee and you’ll walk away happy, just don’t expect a cloud-soft roll straight from the oven.
Maryam — Google review
I couldn’t believe my eyes nor contain my excitement when I learned the renowned Swedish bakery had a shop stateside. Americans seem to be afraid of cardamom and never use enough to actually taste the spice. These cardamom buns are to die for. I ordered a couple to take home to Virginia because it’s so hard to find such good buns anywhere else. They have more than just cardamom buns; their bread is also great artisanal quality as well. If you’re looking for Scandinavian quality baked goods (they’re better than the French and the Germans) then this is your spot! I was even able to practice Swedish with the workers behind the counter which added to the experience. It made me miss Stockholm. A must stop every time I am in Chelsea.
Britt — Google review
Stopped in while walking in Chelsea. You can find baked goods every 100 feet in NYC. At Fabrique’s they bake their treats on site. The barista said the cardamom bun was the crowd favorite, I tried the passion fruit chia pudding as well, which is served with their toasted granola. Everything was great.
Dan L — Google review
We ordered the Cardamom bun and the Brown Sugar bun. The cardamom was soft, airy, and flavour. Unfortunately, the brown sugar was stale, dry and hard to bite into. When I complained to the employees, they acknowledged their batch from today wasn’t great and gave me a second cardamom bun for free! LTDR; order the cardamom bun, ask for the freshness of the baked good and be wary of the other items!

I've been on somewhat of a Swedish baked goods kick for the holiday season, so I checked out Fabrique to get a saffron bun, which I found to be really high quality. The raspberry cake was also really tasty. The coffee was a great price considering the quality and the size of the cup. My only critique was of the cafe itself, which felt a bit small and like it could utilize the space a bit more efficiently. In any case, I recommend a visit, especially for the baked goods.

We stayed down the block for three days and three nights and visited this bakery no less than three times because they are so amazing. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life is their lobster tail pastry. I didn’t know what I was missing before…it is perfection in a pastry. We also loved the chocolate milk mini cake and everything we tried seemed to be made with love. Lety is there day and night, and is so sweet and lovely. Amazing and I already miss it. We will be sure to return. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Simple, elegant, yet one of the delicious and tasteful cake was made for my baby shower by Lety’a bakery. The reason her bakery set apart for us is due to the personal experience that she provided. We ordered 2 tier cake, first tier was the carrot cake and second tier was red velvet. All the guests raved about the carrot and the red velvet cake, I was so happy with it!!!

Yeh's Bakery is a long-standing neighborhood bakeshop located in Queens, operating for over 30 years. Despite its unassuming appearance, it offers a variety of Asian and American desserts such as green tea cake, egg tarts, red-bean buns, and traditional Chinese and Taiwanese layer cakes. The bakery has gained popularity for its super-aerated sponge cake with whipped cream filling.
Cash only - this is my only gripe This may be the best sponge cake I've ever head. It's heavenly. The single slice of the Boston Cream I got was so good, I quickly went in and grabbed another entire cake lol. The other cakes were also good, however the Boston Cream definitely is by far and away the best one. I also liked the one with the citrus filling as well (pic below). Overall, very solid place. Just honestly hate that they're cash only. But honestly, they must be so busy and popular that they can do it. Will be back!

Tried this bakery for the first time and bought 3 items. They didn’t have a large selection of Chinese pastries like some of the other bakeries (no roast pork buns, pineapple buns etc). The curry beef pastries were the best! 5 stars for those. The chicken pastries were ok, too much onions and the not much chicken (3 stars). The round sponge cake with lemon was also very good (4 stars). Service was friendly.

Really glad I found this cafe. They are known for their focaccia sandwhiches. They make the focaccia bread in house. I like that it is family run. They make you feel very welcomed. I went with an ice latte this time and couldn’t resist the homemade pistachio donut. Will be back again for sure to have the focaccia sandwhich. There was a couple eating the focaccia sandwhiches sitting at the tables just outside the entrance and they looked huge and delicious. Bonus, they gave me a free sample of the Turkish Delight. It was very tasty. Took the donut on a hike in Woodstock that day. Waited till I got to the scenic overview to enjoy it. Was delicious and worth the wait. Good motivator for hiking the mountain.

We got the vegetarian Focaccia, and it was so good! The owner did mention the turkey and chicken options are halal, but we could not confirm if it was Zabiha (hand slaughter). We try to stick to Zabiha, so we chose the vegetarian option. Also, if you are someone who only eats cheese that is kosher ( no animal derived enzymes), we confirmed that the burrata and mozzarella are kosher. 10/10 would definitely recommend this place, and the customer service is top notch. It is very hard to find someone who is patient as the owner of this place was with our questions about halal status and also our dietary restrictions.

An enchanting culinary escape. This charming gem specializes in authentic Italian pastries and sandwiches, and it truly delivers an unforgettable experience. From the moment you step inside, the homelike ambiance wraps around you like a warm embrace. The inviting decor and cozy seating create the perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. Valentina, our host, epitomizes stellar service. She is genuinely attentive and radiates warmth, making you feel right at home from the very first moment. My personal favorite is the Maritozzo Fritto, a perfectly fried to golden perfection and filled with luscious cream that dances on your palate. Each bite is a little piece of heaven! The savory sandwiches, try the #10, are crafted with the freshest ingredients, bursting with flavor that leaves you craving more. Don’t forget to indulge in the rich, aromatic espresso. Also try the luxuriously creamy hot chocolate. Both are expertly prepared and provide a perfect complement to the pastries. My experience at Mediterra was delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this café to anyone with a love for Italian cuisine.

Very disappointing- came in for a sourdough baguette which was very good- that’s why I gave 4 stars for food. But the weakest most bitter drip coffee I’ve had in years - I tried to make it drinkable with more milk and sugar but it was beyond repair and after two sips I threw it out. Also ordered an almond croissant but received a chocolate one. I didn’t go back because the staff were not friendly and disinterested in engaging with me. Otherwise atmosphere was ok - no one else was in the shop despite it being a nice Sunday morning and other local places were very busy.

I don’t like their pastries. I ordered a croissant last time but it was stale. The interior is very dark and the service is not very welcoming. However, their hot cross buns are fantastic. This Aussie chain bakery is known for rolling out hot cross buns every year. Their chocolate flavor is a standout this year. It is piped with chocolate icing and filled with chocolate chips. It really impresses me from all the other regular flavored hot cross buns. FYI this is also the most expensive hot cross bun I’ve gotten. $5.17 after tax.

In addition to classic American fare like hamburgers and French fries, Morgenstern’s serves up specialty ice cream made in small batches.
I get the hype now…. I went on a random weekday night and it was still SUPER packed with a line out the door. it moved pretty fast and was definitely worth the wait. The menu on the wall can be overwhelming because they have SOOO many flavors I’ve never even heard of before. I got the banana milk flavor and it was rich and creamy and perfect amount of sweet. You can tell it’s high quality. The staff works fast and tries to make everything be efficient. There’s a bathroom too! Will 100% be back to try more flavors.

The line was definitely cray, but the ice cream was absolutely delicious and I instantly forgot about the wait upon my first spoonful! We tried the oolong white peach, the Hennessy flavor, the bourbon flavor, and two other flavors and everyone one of us immediately has a smile of delight after trying them. And the scoop sizes were actually pretty big (I'm glad I only got a single). Definitely a great stop for dessert!

Be prepared to wait in line to order and then wait some more to get your ice cream. Best to come here on a weekday. Came here on separate occasions and tried their lavender latte (not pictured), Vietnamese coffee (not pictured), raw milk, durian banana, burnt honey vanilla, and vanilla passion fruit. My favorite of the six was the burnt honey vanilla. Overall good flavors and really crispy waffle cone but would not wait in line for more than 20-30min to order, the ice cream is solid but at some point your time is more valuable Update: came back during an off peak time and tried the pineapple salted egg yolk, this has to be my favorite flavor. The bottom is strawberry yuzu.
Evon S — Google review
Good ice cream, tried two flavours: hibiscus strawberry and pineapple egg yolk. They were good… but not that good. Pineapple one was too sweet, I got a bit sick of it at the end. Hibiscus strawberry was a bit artificial / icey. No samples, one flavour per scoop. Slow service and long line. Maybe we missed the mark on ordering the right flavors, but it was a sup-par scoop for me.

I would not call this New York City's best artisanal ice cream, but it is pretty good. Especially if you don't mind long lines, employees that don't seem to enjoy their work and probably the highest prices in the city. Note: They offer several types of vanilla, but refuse to provide samples for those of us unfamiliar with the complete product line.

Only one flavour in a small is so cruel. And I have no respect for such behaviours. However… this ice cream slaps. It’s so good. The pineapple salted egg yolk is unreal. Top 5 ice creams I’ve had. The vegan coconut purple rice is really good. I love the fun flavours. So like ya… it’s really good. Earns its pretentious vibes I guess. And the scoops are perfectly round. Like perfect. The menu is long, overwhelming, and confusing. They group by dominant flavour (ie which fruit is in it), and there’s like a million flavours. Be ready to order when you get to the front of the line. There’s always a line. It moves pretty fast.

The chill hits early—proud signage boasts a “no samples” policy, which is almost as unwelcoming as their rigid “no substitutions” rule. For $14, this sundae was more snowflake than snowstorm—small, underwhelming, and overpriced. Craving a shake? Don’t bother. Most of the machines were frozen in disrepair—three completely out of order, and another clearly limping toward a breakdown. Even the bathroom had thrown in the towel, out of service and as inaccessible as customer flexibility. One has to wonder: how do you serve the public in summer heat without a working restroom? Maybe all those “sample savings” should go toward defrosting basic operations. With warmer, friendlier dessert spots just steps away, this one’s an easy cold shoulder.

Easily one of the best traditional ice cream shops in Manhattan. But they also have the non traditional flavors. For those experimental, I highly recommend the salted egg pineapple (it’s giving Asian mooncake vibes) or the durian (mind blown).

Maison Kayser has become one of our to go for desserts lately. We have been to the ones near the Columbus Circle & Broadway quite a few times and it is our first time here. The atmosphere is like the other Maison Kaysers we have been to. Yet, found a subtle difference in taste of same desserts/pastries we got from other Maison Kaysers. Being a chocolate lover, like the fact that they have quite a few chocolate pastry options to choose from. They also have gluten free options in desserts which is nice and hope there will be more gluten free options in the future. Overall, like the quality and freshness of their desserts/pastries.

Owned by Uruguayans, this bakery is a paradise for dulce de leche enthusiasts - the key ingredient in any good alfajor.
The Alfajores weren't too sweet and had maintained their structural integrity to be enjoyed. The Queso Empanadas were good too.

We tried bite sizes of a few different types of cakes. All were very dry. My husband got a strawberry tres leches cake slice and it too was VERY dry. I would not recommend this bakery when you have this many selections in the neighborhood.

My 6-year-old daughter loves coming here for the cookies. There was a time we would come every day but then we stopped coming. The staff are never friendly or willing to assist us once they hear us speaking English. I guess they only cater to the Hispanic population... We grew tired of being treated this way and stopped coming.

I love going here for the migas de jamón y queso and their sandwiches. Today I was there with my two kids, I had grabbed a apple juice from the fridge and put it down on the table to attend my child, since she was making an iced coffee for me, I was going to grab the coffee from her and she asked if I was going to pay for the juice that I grabbed, clearly there was no one at the register and I was waiting for her to make the iced coffee so she can charge me for the juice. I didn’t appreciate her service, it was very poor. Food is always great but maybe next time she can give me the opportunity to pay for an item before assuming I was going to take it for free.

My friends and I went for breakfast. $2.50 for large cup of coffee. However, once the little bit of foam settled got as much as a small cup. One word comes to mind "mezquino, mezquino, mezquino". The pastries where delicious. All of us where very dissapointed we did not get a full cup of coffee, not nice; defraudados por el cafe.

In Argentina I can get delicious facturas on every corner bakery. I desperate for my morning medialunas I took the subway to La Nueva but found theirs were not at all like a traditional medialuna. They were quite dry and missing that buttery layered quality I am used to. Still looking for authentic ones. The Nuchas trucks disappeared as well. I will just have to bring them back from La Nueva bakery in Palermo, Buenos Aires.

Two Little Red Hens is a charming bake shop and cafe located in Yorkville, offering an array of delectable cupcakes in various flavors as well as custom cakes. Visitors can enjoy made-from-scratch cakes available on-site or pre-order from the menu for a personalized dessert experience. The bakery's classic offerings include Carrot Cake, Red Velvet, and the renowned 'Brooklyn Blackout' four-layer chocolate cake.
Best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten, so creamy on the inside, crust is thin and delicious on the outside, the cheese flavor is light, fresh, not overwhelming & like sex in your mouth. Never fails. The cupcakes are alright, a bit too moist & oily for me. But most people love them that way I guess. The chocolate pecan pie was good too.

I went there, and I have to say I had the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had in my life, the service was excellent, even though I could see straight through the people I think they were ghosts however, the cobweb chocolate cake was fantastic! Which led me to believe that they closed a few years ago after reading all the reviews. I hope what I ate was chocolate cake. Service was a little lackluster.

This is such a quaint cute little bakery. They have all kinds of incredible cake and cupcake flavors you could imagine - PB, blackout chocolate, coconut, carrot cake, banana walnut and more. They are also known for their cheesecake! The line could get long, but it always moves quickly. Everything is so tasty. Large cupcakes are $3-4, mini cupcakes are $1.75 each. I highly recommend the peanut butter chocolate cupcake!!
Nicole Q — Google review
Love this shop! Got their cheesecake, Brooklyn blackout cupcake(mini) and a slice of pie. The cupcake was good, very moist and yummy, but too sweet for me. Glad that I got the mini ones instead of the bigger size. As for the pie, it was not impressive. A little on the sweeter side, but good. I love their cheesecake! It was very unique: really dense and heavy, and is only slightly sweet. You can taste how well the cheese-flavor comes in this piece. Highly recommended! Love this place overall, would love to come back and try more.

A New Yorker recommended me cheesecakes of here. I came here for only cheesecakes. But cupcakes kept calling me to get them so I got some. Cheesecake is just normal.

I would recommend this if you are in New York, either visiting or living. I will say next time I must order their pie as I am always looking for a good slice. Thank you for a much needed smile.

#1 spot in NYC for carrot cake. After trying countless places, this is the best carrot cake I've ever had. The cream cheese frosting is exquisite and the cake is always moist. They are a little pricey, but worth every single cent. For carrot cake, I recommend the small cake over the cupcakes because the proportion of frosting to cake is better.

For my graduation party I was looking for something in lieu of a cake that I felt more people would enjoy. After extensive research, I was thrilled to find Two Crepes because they offered carts that served crepes and bubble tea, two of my favorite treats. It was a seamless and wonderful experience having Two Crepes at my event. The process to book both a crepe and bubble tea cart was simple. Julian and crew arrived early to set up and were ready to serve my guests on time. The crepes and bubble tea were a fun surprise for and a great hit with my guests! And while I worried that I had not tasted their crepes and bubble tea before booking them, other reviews gave me high hopes and Two Crepes did not disappoint!! The crepes were perfectly made and every filling was delicious. The bubble tea was also super tasty and made well - especially the taro! Many guests returned for seconds and to try the other available flavors of both crepes and bubble tea. Everyone loved that the crepes and bubble tea were made to order, and the crepes in particular filled the room with an irresistable sweet scent. Julian and his staff were overall wonderful to work with and very personable and kind to guests. I would absolutely book them again and look forward to trying their other cart offerings for my future events. Thank you Two Crepes for making my event extra special!!!

I just wanted to share how amazing our residential event turned out, thanks in large part to the incredible experience we had with Two Crepes! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and full of flavor. The team brought such great energy and made everyone feel welcome and excited. Their setup was efficient and inviting—people couldn’t wait to line up! And of course, the crepes were the star of the show. Whether sweet or savory, every bite was fresh, delicious, and made with care. You could tell the ingredients were high-quality and thoughtfully combined. It added such a special touch to the event and really brought people together. We received so many compliments from residents afterward—everyone loved it!

Lady Wong Pastry & Cakes is a charming patisserie that offers a delightful selection of Southeast Asian-inspired treats. Founded by Andre Oliver, the patisserie features an array of homemade ice creams in fourteen flavors, including spiked options for those looking to indulge. The pastries and cakes at Lady Wong have won over many patrons with their consistently delightful taste and presentation.
One of the most memorable bakery visits I’ve had in NYC! I tried four of their cakes and each one was a work of art in both flavor and presentation. My absolute favorite was the Black Sesame Passion Fruit. The mousse was perfectly nutty, the caramel balanced, and the sesame crunch gave the best texture contrast. The Ube Blackberry was a dream for ube lovers, layered textures with fragrant ube caramel and a subtle citrus note. The Blackout Noir is a chocolate lover’s fantasy, deep Valrhona chocolate, silky ganache, and coffee caramel that’s rich and indulgent. The Mont Blanc Chestnut Mille Crêpes was delicate, creamy, and lightly sweet with a very refined chestnut flavor. Also tried their Pandan Latte, which was aromatic and unique, a cozy companion to the desserts. Everything here feels thoughtfully created, from flavor pairings to textures. This place is definitely a hidden gem for elevated, modern pastries and I’ll absolutely be coming back for more!

Lady Wong is a flop! I’m disappointed by all the great reviews especially because most are from Asians. The black sesame passion fruit is pretty sweet and not as described at all. It’s suppose to be a black sesame moose but the consistency is definitely not a mouse and also has very little black sesame flavor. The best part was the passion fruit but there’s very little of it. I also got a pineapple cake was a bigger disappointment especially at $9 for 2. There was more breading than anything and the pineapple portion is definitely not 100% pineapple. The flavor is very off! I’ve had some of the best pineapple cakes in Taiwan. I wouldn’t waste calories eating any desserts from Lady Wong!

Delicious cakes and kuih! Every single cake is so delicious. Matcha pandan tart had a good mix of both matcha and pandan. Very surprised how the flavors mixed so well and it tasted so refreshing. Definitely unique as I've not had this flavor before. Black sesame and passion fruit had both earthy nutty flavor from black sesame, and then a good citrus tart flavor from passion fruit. Passion fruit and calamansi cake was light, fluffy and fruity delicious. The kuih was good. The custard was so soft and smooth, while the non custard kuih was smooth, just the right chewy texture and not overly sweet. Wonderful.

We got 4 things (black sesame, strawberry guava, ube nian gao, hazelnut crêpe cake), and everything had 9-10 flavor, texture, and design 😍—wish we’d tried more! All were nicely sweet and not cloying. It’s a very small shop but pretty and clean, with good service. There is seating. They tape the card to the bottom of the box so your goods don’t get messed up. 👍 The only sad thing is that they might not have your favorite pastry since the display always changes and sells out quickly. Strawberry guava was light and airy as a cloud and melts in your mouth. The balance between the savoriness of the sesame and tartness of the passionfruit is lovely. Prob the most unique thing on the menu for those unfamiliar with Asian flavors. I do think there could be more passionfruit to sesame. Hazelnut crêpe cake is soft, milky and easy to eat with a utensil unlike other mille-feuilles. I didn’t get that much praline flavor, however. Ube nian gao was my favorite. The inside is so so chewy and contrasts with the crust which reminded me of cereal.

Hit or miss depending on the dessert you get. I got 3 desserts: black sesame passionfruit, matcha tart and talam pandan. Didn’t really taste the black sesame, the passionfruit overpowered the dessert. Matcha tart was okay. The best one was the talam pandan, that actually tasted like the ones I used to eat as a kid. I’d still come back and try their other desserts.

Was told this was the place to go for some Asian fusion baked goods but a little unimpressed. While the mango sticky rice cake was good, the service and the cleanliness of the place was lacking. Granted we walked in around 7:30pm but the worker there wasn’t helpful with picking out desserts and could barely hear what she was saying. Also she seemed overwhelmed when an online order came through with something that was sold out but I guess she didn’t check until the driver came to pick up. Will have to try again for a more thorough review.

I have been going to By the Way Bakery for years, since the first store opened in Westchester, and it remains my absolute favorite. They are truly one of the best gluten free, dairy free, and kosher bakeries anywhere in the United States. The quality is always incredible, and they never compromise on ingredients or flavor. It is hard to believe the baked goods are non dairy because the deserts are tasty and never compromise on quality. Even my friends who are not gluten free or kosher make special trips to buy desserts and cakes here. Some of our favorites are the lemon poppy seed cake, brownie fudge, and carrot cake. And during the High Holidays, Mama’s Apple Cake is a must, a guest favorite. The carrot cake is also excellent.

The food was delicious (such a pretty cake and the cookies were incredible) but it's really the customer service that has me a new loyal customer. There were some errors in the original order and Jelise was kind enough to meet with me at the store and craft an entire new cake while Naz reached out to confirm each and every detail. The result was a beautiful cake that resulted in lifetime memories and a newfound appreciation for an UES gem!

I work close to this bakery and I decide to pop in and buy some pastries. The store offers a lot of promotions and the prices are affordable. I got two croissants and two donuts. I found the cronut to be dry and flavorless. The chocolate donut was a bit dry but the chocolate portion made it taste a lot better. I got the chocolate and chocolate almond croissant. The chocolate was okay but, the chocolate almond croissant was delicious. It is definitely my favorite out of the four treats I purchased. I would stop by again to get the chocolate almond croissant.

Really wanted to like this locally owned place but unfortunately the heralded french almond croissants were super burnt. They intentionally served it this way so I don’t think it was an accident.

Although at this location i feel like they are better, more filled than hollow. Their croissants are absolutely delicious. Their baguette are soft and fresh. Coffee always on point. It always hits the spot. Nice to know both locations carry the same expectations. Now to visit their Miami location!

A small bite of France in NYC. We came across the bakery looking for a place to take a break, walking around the village. Good coffee and hot chocolate, and fantastic bakes goods. We tried the Beignets, and I had a chocolate Madeleine. Both were among the best we've had. Dumb luck had us stop in to the only one of this loved French bakery chain in Manhattan. 600 in France, but just 3 in the US. Well worth a side trip if you're in the city.

This place checks all the boxes that should make this a great mainstay, a go-to on this side of town - great tasty selection, always fresh, clean dining area (yes, they do have a spacious indoor seating and several tables for outdoor enjoyment), delivery, ongoing promo of “buy 3 get 1 free of the same pastry,” and this place even participate in the TooGoodToGo program at certain times of the day, and they open early, too. You can have your drinks with their many pastry and bread selection. They also actually have prepared food, which is a nice variety. There is a ramp for accessibility, and in the warmer temperatures, there are a few tables outside to sit on, which is great! But sadly I have to knock off stars because one of their staff has consistently been rude and short😩with the patrons. The others have been quick and nice so far, but when you are in a rush and just there to get your morning fix, you cant keep waiting for the other associate to get your order. I have never seen this guy smile at any of the customers. What’s eating you, Grumpy😟🤔? I would recommend you drop by here, but fair warning😢

Review is for their plain croissant only. Overall Taste 3.5 Exterior crunch 3 Fluffiness 3 Freshness 4 A very cute bakery that I would consider having a coffee at. Possibly because croissant wasn't fresh out of the oven, taste and texture was compromised. Exterior shell lacking in flakey crunch for the most part. Interior was too thick and doughy for my preference. Tasted a little greasy as some parts of the croissant the butter congealed. I can see this croissant being great for sandwiches as it will have more structural integrity. Would like to return and sample a fresh out of the oven croissant another day.

Absolutely obsessed with the matcha croissant collab between Claude Bakery and Isshiki Matcha! I had their: Regular-sized Matcha Croissant – perfectly crisp outside, filled with the most luscious matcha crème inside. Hands down, the best matcha croissant I’ve ever had. French Vanilla Cold Foam Matcha Latte – smooth, flavorful, and topped with the cutest mini matcha croissant. It’s the kind of drink you sip slowly because you don’t want it to end. Claude Bakery always nails flavor and texture, and this matcha collaboration just takes it to another level. A must-try for pastry fans alike!

Last summer, amidst the challenges of the pandemic, Kimberly Camara and Kevin Borja launched Kora, a delightful donut and dessert brand from their Woodside apartment. Drawing inspiration from Kimberly's Filipino heritage, Kora has quickly gained popularity with its unique offerings like brioche donuts filled with ube custard. The vibrant colors and creative toppings of their treats reflect Southeast Asian flavors such as pandan and coconut, making them not only delicious but also visually stunning.
What a great experience! It was my first visit and worth my morning walk. I anticipated a long line and was welcomed by the owners. They show how much they truly appreciate each and every customer. My favorite was the ube latte and ensaymada croissant, but all of their drinks and baked goods are phenomenal. I can't wait stop by again and try some more treats. Their entire team are so kind and make the wait worthwhile. I appreciate how organized the entire visit was- from the line outside, inside the store, the kitchen, check out, etc. They put a lot of thought into making it a seamless and enjoyable experience.

The donuts here are amazing! I think we got 5 in total today and they were so fresh. Everything was delicious!!! Def recommend coming here. The ube donut and apple fritter donut are a must. All the donuts were so light despite the fillings and weren’t overly sweet. Hoping to stop by soon again.

Had to try this place because of their flan, and they delivered. I'm not a fan of donuts, but I was surprised about the flakiness of the dough, also not too sweet nor greasy, paired with a good and firm flan.Definitely a must try. The lemon cookie was a last minute addition and tasted good. The Ube was also a nice surprise as it was the mango float (I wish they could make a plain custard one!). The only complaint is in the matcha cruller, too greasy for my taste. They open late and there are plenty of people in line even during the week. It's easier to get pastries later in the AM but past 11:30 AM they might be sold out. Kudos to one of the owner for trying to make sense of the line outside.

I had been meaning to try Kora for so long but kept missing the pop-ups. When I finally did go on a Sunday at 9am I anticipated the wait but the staff was INCREDIBLY helpful in coming out, explaining the wait, the process and giving us hope, answering questions on what they would likely have and what might sell out. I got inside about 10:15 and loved the space. The decor is very neutral toned and I recommend sitting if you can. Since there is currently a 6 pastry cap, I got the ube babka, coffee cruller, cinnamon cruller, spam pan suisse and leche flan donut. Every single one knocked my socks off. I have been to allot of bakeries, and several Michelin Star restaurants, but I can't think of any that compare to Kora's pastries in terms of variety of flavor, texture & dynamics of taste. The lofty, butter-rich steam air that is trapped inside each layer, the soft and supple textures of the bites was intoxicating. The spam pan suisse with pimento cheese had a touch of savory heat while the outer glaze added crispy, crunchy sweetness. The the braided babka touched with salt played well together with the sweet profile of the ube center. I am very partial to coffee/coffee cakes and the Coffee Cruller was my favorite. The outer layer and coffee is delicious but I could not believe how tender, cloud loft, buttery soft the inside was. Even if the pastries are sold out the cookies and coffee are sold throughout the day and the full glass storefront lets in plenty of light. It is going to be my go-to coffee shop. Also, I really appreciate the signs in front explaining the current situation with the facilities, projected waits on weekdays vs weekends, and the explanations of the multi-day processes it takes to prep elements that go into the pastries. PLEASE don't be upset if items are sold out as all new businesses have growing pains. Do your homework and plan for a 1.5-2 hour min window from the time you arrive to when you eat. You can taste the effort and artistry in each bite, so make time for the experience (just my input).

Ok, so I’m not the person that likes standing on a line for something, but I’m so happy I did. While waiting in line, someone kindly came and spoke to us and shared some Expectations such as respecting the neighbor businesses by leaving space open for the doors. Super sweet. Anyways, once the bakery opened their doors, they had us come in groups to keep order and give us a good experience. They have a huge window so you can see them preparing the goods. Everything looked amazing so I had to buy a few different ones to try. Faves are the flan one and the ube donut. Everything is tasty and beautiful. I also tried one of their signature drinks and even though I don’t like coffee, this one was amazing. All this to say, this place is beautiful, the staff is super nice and the goods are amazing. It’s a must and it’s worth the hype.

As a Queens native, I have been waiting to try Kora for years and finally got to try them out! I got there on a weekend around 9:30am and got inside by 10:30, which was expected. There was a worker who came out and greeted everyone, and also updated everyone on the timing/amount of pastries left which was very nice of them! Once I got in, I was greeted at the door and all of the workers were very hospitable! I truly appreciate their warm attitude during such busy shifts. I ordered 5 pastries since the limit is 5 and I got: the ube donut, the leche flan ni lola donut, ube babka swirl, passionfruit bun donut, and the ensaymada croissant. My #1 pick was definitely the leche flan ni lola donut!!! Absolute fire. The ube babka swirl was my 2nd favorite, do not sleep on it. The rest were also good, however, the ube donut was a little underwhelming in flavor and the passionfruit had a nice cream but the donut itself was very doughy in texture. I am a huge foodie and growing up in Queens, NYC, we are exposed to so many great bakeries including Filipino bakeries in Woodside. I love the flavors of Filipino pastries and desserts and I guess I was expecting a wow factor after waiting so long to try Kora. The leche flan donut, I would definitely order again. The rest, maybe not. But that is my preference and I would definitely come back to try the other pastries that I couldn’t try this time around!

Would travel and line up to wait for Filipino pastries and coffee anytime. If you’re willing to do the same for food, Kora will be worth it! Right before the store opens, one of the owners and the staff will go outside to greet the waiting guests and brief them on how things will go. This was a nice touch as I didn’t feel so lost. I did anticipate a line and a wait. All in all? It took about almost an hour to get inside. Not bad of a wait, but I had company too. So that was a good way to let time pass. Once inside, it felt warm and welcoming. We got in line and someone from the counter will assist you to choose your pastries. They place the pastries on a “bilao” or tray/basket. Note: A max of only 6 pastries per guest. Then you reach the cashier and you can order a drink. Pay (and tip 😄💕) and then wait for your order to be boxed and name to be called (if you ordered a drink). My friend and I stayed a while to chat and enjoy the pastries. It’s a good idea to go with someone so you can each order other pastries and have a pastry tasting party! Haha I might be too lazy to type in each pastry we tried and share my comments, buttt so summarize: you won’t go wrong choosing any of the pastries! The hot Ube Latte complemented the sweetness of all the food we ate. Each piece was honestly not too sweet either. I had leftovers and will try to toast the croissant to have a little crunchy melted cheese top. 😍 would go back again!

Absolutely great and personal service. The workers/owner seem really passionate and happy to work there which is underlined through their fantastic desserts. I got the ube Cake Jar with ube ice cream which they served in a glass jar (that they let you take home) and it was so sweet and tasty! It was $10 and a steal as you feel fulfilled after only eating half—definitely great for sharing with friends!

My son was craving halo-halo. We went here and craving was satisfied! Their halo-halo is perfection, it has the right balance of ingredients and sugar level is not too sweet. It’s just like the Philippines but not excessively sweet, which is perfect! My kids also enjoyed their mini Ube cupcakes, a great size for little kids and taste was delicious. I had a very nice conversation with the owner and the staff. They got a very wholesome feel; super friendly and welcoming. P.S. husband approved! (He doesn’t normally like Halo halo because it’s usually too sweet but this was a good level for him, the flan was also perfect) we’ll be coming back here! P.S. we took our halo halo to go, it was still frozen and Icey by the time we got to our car.

Decided to check out the neighborhood this afternoon and google new places nearby i hadn’t tried yet. This place came up and was very highly rated - I can see why! The interior is beautiful with plenty of seating and a scenic portion with a flower wall. I was greeted by two lovely gentleman who have some of the absolute best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Answered all of my questions with a smile even though I showed up almost right when they opened. I saw the flan was mentioned a few times in the reviews so I gave it a shot. Wow was I blown away. The flan/ube combo works so well together. Hats off to this team for creativity. Between the decor, lovely attitude, and great food you have earned another customer. I will definitely be back! 😊

The ube flan here is very good creamy, rich, and full of real ube flavor. The ube crinkle cookie was also excellent super soft, light, and not overly sweet, which made it easy to enjoy more than one. You can tell they use quality ingredients in everything they make. The service was friendly and welcoming too, which really adds to the whole experience. A great spot if you’re craving Filipino pastries or just something unique and delicious.

Katrina baked our wedding cake in April of this year and it was a show-stopper! It was a two-tiered cake, one with blueberry earl grey and the other dulce de leche strawberry. It was everything we wanted in our wedding cake. The cake was elegant, yet simple. It had perfect texture and flavor. We got a lot of comments praising the cake and could not have asked for better. It was also an incredibly easy process to sit down with Katrina and discuss what we wanted. We highly recommend Katrina and Taste Crème if you are looking for an amazing cake on your special day.

AnnTremet Cake is a delightful and impressive cake that can make any party special. The cakes are not only beautiful pieces of art, but also refreshing to eat, making them ideal for those who don't like overly sweet desserts. The cat and girl on top of the cake were custom-made based on provided pictures, adding a personal touch to the design.
Incredible spot for afternoon tea. AnnTremet combines so many flavors. It’s a small space so you need to make a reservation. We loved the chive scone, salmon on toast, green quiche, butter cookies and mouse cakes. The tea options include caffeine and caffeine free. It’s a great find in NYC to celebrate special occasions. It’s quite a bit of food, making it a great value.

short: delicious fresh cakes long: This is one of the places I've been going to for years that I just haven't made a review yet for whatever reason. Every time I go, I get something different, and each time, it's very delicious. The best part, besides being delicious, is that they have so much flavor without being overly sweet. The reason for the atmosphere rating is because it seems to be mainly a pick up/to go location. Highly recommended for anyone who loves pastries.

I had seen all the fabulous pictures of High Tea here through Google Search/Images and live in the West Village so stalked the location to make a reservation for High Tea with my best friend, godson and her daughter this past weekend. Though this place is not a large place with only a few tables, it was FANTASTIC! Everything that Ann and her team makes is so meticulously beautiful and delicious. Everytime she came out with anything - from the hot chocolates for the kids with Snowmen or Xmas tree cookies floating on top to the small meticulously beautifully made cakes, the tiers of finger sandwiches, cookies, etc - it blew our minds at how yummy everything was and the attention to detail. The kids each time said it was the best "so and so" they've EVER had and we all can't wait to come back. Thank you Ann and team for being so accommodating and making our weekend! We will be back!

I am beyond disappointed with this bakery. My husband and I ordered a $300, 6” gender reveal cake for a special family reunion, expecting a magical moment. Instead, the bakery completely ruined the surprise by placing a Post-it note on top of the box stating the cake’s color. In addition, there were pink marks on the cardboard cake board, making it impossible to miss. We were devastated but had to put on a brave face and pretend for our family. This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and their negligence took that from us. To add insult to injury, the cake was inedible—overwhelmingly buttery and just bad. We ended up throwing most of it away. When we called expecting a full refund and a sincere apology, we were offered only 30% off a future order or a 30% refund. That’s simply unacceptable after ruining such an important occasion. I would never trust this bakery again for any event, let alone something as meaningful as a gender reveal. If you care about your special moments, look elsewhere.

​The cake itself was wonderful, but the pickup experience completely ruined the product and the celebration. ​On my arrival, I was informed the shop had no bags, no water-repellent cover, and no handle for the cake box. This lack of basic provision was unacceptable, especially as it was raining heavily. I was forced to carry the handle-less box with two hands and had to catch a bus. A kind fellow customer provided a plastic cover from their car, which helped prevent the rain going into the cake, but because I had to grip the box so tightly, the cake started to melt and slide off-center. ​By the time I arrived home, the cake was visibly damaged, resulting in the cancellation of the candle-lighting for my wife's birthday. The shop's failure to provide essential packaging in a rainy day negated the quality of their product and made for a truly terrible customer experience.

Nestled in a sunlit corner, Red Gate Bakery is a delightful haven where classic baked goods are reimagined with surprising ingredients. Founded by Greg Rales, this charming bakeshop combines nostalgic flavors from his childhood with innovative twists. Signature creations like the bagel cake—layered with marbled vanilla and chocolate and topped with brown butter cream cheese frosting—are just the tip of the iceberg.
I can't say if everything on the menu is delicious but I can say that based off the items I tried, this bakery is absolutely worth a visit and I'll certainly be back to try more. I like that they offer a special cake flavor every weekend. I tried their rhubarb macaroon cake slice ($10) and it was soooooooo good and not overly sweet. The cake slice was so fresh. I also had the midnight banana bread ($5). And oh my goodness, I was surprised at how moist and rich it was. It's a thick and heavy slice, in the very very best way. Really good quality and value. This is a small shop. There's not much space inside. No seating except for one small table outside.

Such a cool bakery!! Quirky, fun flavours. Iikeeeee. Massive line that moves kinda fast (11am on Saturday - when they open). They know how to make cake!! I’ve had two of their corn cakes and they were soooo good. I really liked the midnight banana bread. It’s a treat. Corn bun was alright for me - it felt a bit stale? I would keep coming back to try their massive rotating selection of cakes, bars, cookies, buns & more.

Finally made it here to try to choco-toffee cookie, only to find that they were out. That was surprising, as we got there hours before closing time, but I guess that’s not really their fault. What was most irritating was that we stood outside in the midday sun for at least 20 minutes before we could get inside and realize that they were out of several item. I wish they’d at least put up a sign so people aren’t wasting their time waiting for items that aren’t there. Since we stood in line, we grabbed a spiced oatmeal cookie, which was overly sweet. There are plenty of good cookie places in NYC - this one is not worth another visit.

My wife and I squeezed in a visit here, last thing before leaving the country on our visit from the UK. I’m almost struggling to find words to describe how at home one felt walking through the door. Something about the nostalgic smell of fresh baked cookies, or perhaps the knowledge that as an LGBT person you’re welcomed in with open arms. We chose an abundance of cookies which served as an excellent snack whilst travelling. Whatever you guys do with your Spiced & Iced cookie, just carry on doing it!!!!!

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE MISO APPLE CRUMB BAR. I’ve been playing a game over the past several weeks to find my personal favorite autumnal treat in NYC. Because I’m a sucker for aesthetics, I assumed that my inevitable winner would be something with tons of orange frosting(which was my logic behind getting the candy corn Oreo from here as well) and a healthy amount of Halloween sprinkles. If we’re being honest, I didn’t even want to get the miso apple crumb bar because that sounded kind of weird to me—but it was recommended to me by someone who knows what they’re talking about. I thought I died when I ate this and transcended to a version of heaven where it’s just me, this miso apple crumb bar, and somehow still everyone else on the sidewalk where I stuffed this entire bar into my face in a wave of delirium. The texture of this just shouldn’t exist: it has a stable base and perfect, crispy firm crumb topping, but the mid-section is this incredible, gooey layer of perfectly seasoned apples that melt in your mouth with a flavor profile that’s giving complexity and saltiness. It’s like grandma’s apple crumb but carefully elevated by the umami quality until it becomes a dreamy mix of cinnamon apple salty crumbly goodness. By comparison, the Candy corn Oreo was fine, but I wouldn’t need to be buried with it. Unlike the miso apple crumb bar, which should be placed directly in my coffin upon my demise.

Never in my life have I left a bad review — until Billy’s Bakery. That’s how bad this was. I ordered a nearly $200 custom cake from Billy’s Bakery for my birthday. It was supposed to be the centerpiece of my celebration. Instead, it was an absolute embarrassment. Let’s start with the cake itself: The decoration was a disaster. The writing was so sloppy, uneven, and off-center that guests literally asked me if a child decorated it. The script was barely legible, the loops were exaggerated and awkward, and the placement looked like no one even tried to center it. This wasn’t "hand-crafted charm" — this was inexcusable carelessness. But what made it worse? The customer service. I reached out (politely, at first), explaining that the decoration looked NOTHING like what was promised or advertised. I attached a photo showing the cake in its untouched state, clearly documenting the issue. Their response? A robotic deflection, citing “company policy” and claiming that since the cake was picked up and signed for by a friend, no refund or compensation could be considered — unless I physically returned the uneaten cake the following morning (after my birthday was over). They then doubled down in later emails, saying the mess was simply due to “handwriting variation” and actually had the nerve to tell me they do not agree that it looked sloppy. Excuse me? You’re going to gaslight your customer over an obvious quality issue and then defend it by calling it a “personal style”? I wasn’t asking for a full remake, just basic accountability. But instead of taking responsibility for a visibly subpar product, they patronized me, minimized my concerns, and tried to spin a poorly executed job into an intentional aesthetic. They repeatedly emphasized that their decorators are “skilled professionals” — which only makes the final product even more unacceptable. If this is how Billy’s Bakery handles complaints — with condescension and zero flexibility — then I want nothing to do with them, and I highly encourage others to think twice. There are countless other bakeries in NYC that charge the same price (or less) and actually deliver on quality and service. I will never order from Billy’s again, and I’ll make sure others know not to either. Especially if you’re ordering for a special occasion — trust me, the risk is not worth it.

I ordered a cake for my church’s small group and people really liked it. The texture was great and this cake was able to feed 20 despite its size. I specified in the delivery instructions that a late delivery is better and they delivered first thing in the morning 🫠 Like not even in the afternoon? I found that strange and very inconvenient. Hopefully they can work on that.

Unfortunately this bakery just misses the mark in many ways. My funfetti cupcake was so denser but somehow still dry. No seating aside from a single bench (they have space for seating there are just no seats/tables there). Latte was weak and watery, and tasted bitter even with a little added sugar. And with only one person at the counter to take orders, prepare coffee and desserts, and process payments, the line was very long. I’m honestly not sure how this business is surviving in tribeca. They need to use their space more wisely, add some small tables, maybe a little charming music, change their coffee entirely, add a few more workers at the front, and work tweaking their recipe for a moister cake. My only positive thing was the buttercream icing was delicious!

Disappointed with their lack of ability to do lettering. I ordered this 8’’ cake and paid $80 plus tax for the lettering to be done this way (lettering was free and it shows). I was so embarrassed I started laughing. I had to manually remove the lettering and buy multiple candles last minute to make it look better for my sister’s birthday. The taste was okay but definitely do not ask for anything written on it. Unfortunately I can’t take it back, I wish I had ordered it from a different place.

I bought two cupcakes from here and they both tasted like stale bread with enough sugar to give me diabetes. I’m not one to throw away food but for $9, I couldn’t even pretend to find these decent. Also, there’s nowhere to sit or enjoy these cupcakes except one, sad bench.

Soma cakes is very professional. They respond quickly to emails and their cakes are delicious. I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my friends birthday to be delivered. They showed up on time and the cake looked exactly the way we wanted. I had no issues and definitely will be ordering from them again. I am so pleased. Update: I ordered again for my daughter’s sixth birthday. Again the service was great. The cupcakes were delivered on time and they looked just like the picture. The vanilla rainbow icing with the vanilla rainbow cupcake was delicious. Everyone was asking where I got them from.

I'm so glad Hiroyo has opened a shop in the city! I stopped by this weekend with a friend who's getting married next year and the shop looks amazing! Hiroyo has made my wedding cake, my son's first birthday cake, my best friend's wedding cake, and hopefully countless others that I have sent her way. The cakes are meticulously detailed and you can tell she really cares about the customer and their needs. She's also a real artist, she took the idea of for my son's birthday cake and made it 1000x better than I was imagining. Annnnd the cakes taste amazing as well. UPDATE: I took a class with the owner, Hiroyo, to sculpt a pumpkin cake! I can't believe I made this cake. Photo evidence attached. Although I did get a lot of help in making this beauty, I learned a lot in the class and Hiroyo is super fun and funny to be around. Highly recommend taking one of her classes if you're looking to improve your skills.

Thank you for our beautiful and delicious winter themed wedding cake! Hiroyo and her team knocked it out of the park. From initial contact to tasting to placing the order everything went smoothly and Soma cakes provided top notch customer service. The flavors were delicious and our guests loved them. I particularly recommend the green tea sponge.

I was fortunate to be able to sample their cupcake (this was a special treat as they normally do custom-made spectacular cakes). They were mind-bogglingly GOOD!!! Light, fluffy, moist, just the right level of sweetness and makes you smile throughout the day. Can't wait to order a custom cake!!

SOMA cakes made our wedding cake, and it turned out fantastic! It was a real pleasure working with Satoko who talked us through different flavors and designs to get exactly what we wanted. They were able to mix-and-match multiple flavors in one cake, and replicate design elements we liked from pinterest and elsewhere. The final product was gorgeous, and delicious!

I loved everything about this cake, from the details of the petals to the color scheme to the taste. The cake itself was delicious, we chose a vanilla cake with oreo stuffing frosting. You can taste the freshness and the cake was moist not dry like most beautiful cakes. The owner was super friendly and accommodating even though i showed up 48hrs before my event. I will definitely recommend this cake shop to everyone in NYC.

I wanted so badly to love the cake. The service was impeccable. They delivered on time and were very polite and helpful. The cake was beautiful. Stunning even. However, what i ordered- a vanilla cake with cookies n creme filling- was not up to par. It tasted like pure chemicals, or like nail polish. This was for my daughters 20th birthday on may 29. She was very disappointed and ultimately we threw the entire cake in the garbage. Money gone to waste unfortunately. I’ll advise anyone who wants to order from here to avoid the cookies and creme filling.
