“Visit the bakery yesterday, and it was worth every dollar I spend. The Pecan cream ring tasted just how I remembered when I was a kid. I also bought one double chocolate cookie, which was amazing!! I wish I bough more. The staff was super nice and helpful. I grew up in pal park, and the bakery was always the go to spot for our desserts. Keep it going and no slacking on the deliciousness. Going back today for more cookies😁“

“친절한 사장님^^ 힐링 포인트“

“We have been here a few times since it has opened on Broad Avenue. Great place to try their drinks and baked goods once you explore your options.

Came here on an early Friday morning and it was so peaceful with my Mom and babies. She complimented how big and spacious Belle Journee was and enjoyed her coffee and pastries we had for breakfast.

The cakes abd desserts are beautifully displayed in the front and probably one of my favorite parts to look at. We ordered a variety of mini desserts when we first saw Belle Journee back in the Summer. We ordered different options, it was one of the big hits at my Twins baby shower back in August 2025. Different flavors, reasonably priced because we understood how carefully crafted every baked good was down to the flavors.

Service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and chill, parking is available in the back of their parking lot or you can walk from Broad Avenue. All payments accepted.“

“I was here today to stay for about a few hours to study. They have public Wi-Fi good seats, the charging outlet, etc.,.

The food is excellent (or has consistent quality as in the other stores). The guy who looked like a store manager warmed up my bread before giving out. It might be a standard thing, but since he asked me first, I’d take it as an extra..

I read couple of one and two star rated comments, which to me seems exceptional cases, or relative to specific employee. For negative comments, the store manager literally writes back with the sincere apology (you can check it out).

3.8 stars (as of Feb 21, 2026) seems too underrated.“

“Best churros ever...!!!😋 😋“

“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

“The best strawberry cheesecake and chocolate covered cannolis I have ever had. 100/10, I’ll dream about these items forever lol.“

“Really great assortment of vegan desserts as well as regular. I tried the vegan pain au chocolat, which was very good! Didn’t have a weird vegan butter texture, which is sometimes an issue with pastries. They also have a restroom in the back, which is a plus!“

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.“

“We came here to try the iconic pineapple pork bun! It’s pretty good but my partner definitely enjoyed it more than I did. I wish I was in NYC longer to try out everything else on their menu. Everything looked good and reasonably priced.“

“BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER HAD! If you’re ever in NYC, make sure to try Kora’s donuts. These donuts are AMAZING! They are all infused with Filipino flavor and culture. I first heard about them on YouTube when a food channel featured them. These are rich and decadent donuts without being overwhelmingly sweet. They are custom made too and made fresh the day of pick up. Check them out!!“

“I recently visited Radio Bakery and was impressed by the quality of both the pastries and focaccia sandwiches. The bakery has a welcoming atmosphere, and everything tasted fresh and carefully crafted. The croissants were flaky and buttery, while the sandwiches were packed with flavor. Service was efficient despite the crowd, and the overall experience lived up to the bakery’s strong reputation. A great spot for breakfast, coffee, or a quick bite in Brooklyn.“

“I was a kid going to this place, just about every sunday after church. The first bite is exactly as good as I remember. Must get a beef pattie with a cocoa bread. But now, they have the meat loaf (beef pattie filling directly in a cocoa bread😤). Don't forget a fresh carrot juice! MUST BRING CASH!!!“

“The best macaroons. The crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher were my favs!“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“We stopped into Les Gateaux de Marie while in NYC and absolutely loved it. Such a cozy little bakery with the sweetest atmosphere. You can immediately tell the owner truly loves what she does and puts so much passion into every detail.

Everything we tried was amazing. The latte, coffee, cupcake, and crispy heart were all so good. We sat down for a few minutes to relax and honestly just enjoyed being in the space. The bakery is beautifully designed and feels so warm and welcoming.

One of my favorite parts was seeing the photos of the cakes she has created over the years. You could really feel her creativity and passion through everything in the shop. Everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful, and it ended up being one of those little places that makes a trip feel special. So glad we found it. Everything was affordable! We will be back!“

“This classic Chinatown bakery has such a nostalgic, no-frills atmosphere with the smell of fresh buns and pastries filling the air. The egg tarts were flaky with silky custard, the pork buns were juicy and hot, and the milk tea was strong and sweet. Staff was efficient and friendly. Total around $12-18 per person. An absolute gem for affordable Chinese pastries and coffee!“

“👍the best, miss going there, eccellente“

“The cookie was a bit expensive, but it's worth the hype and you gotta try the original walnut chocolate chip cookie since that is what Levain Bakery is known for. The cookie was dense in both flavor and size, but I bet warming the cookie up would make it taste even better.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Stopped there recently while visiting my daughter. Best Cafe Mocha I’ve ever had! Delicious croissants as well!“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

“I work for a law firm in CA and we have an employee who works remotely in NY.. For our employee's birthday I wanted to choose a bakery close to her home and who was local. Stumbled upon Buttercup Bake Shop and they were so awesome! Totally worked with me and delivered the cupcakes with NO hassle. Needless to say our NY employee was super happy and LOVED the flavors and decorations of the cupcakes. ❤️“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“La Promenade is awesome , food is amazing staff very helpful“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“Crumbl Cookies is one of those dessert spots that feels more like a weekly rotation treat than a casual cookie stop. My experience was all about texture and presentation—each cookie is oversized, soft in the center, and usually served warm, which makes the flavors feel richer than expected. The rotating menu keeps things interesting; one week you might get classic chocolate chip, the next something like peanut butter mousse or lemon glaze that tastes more like a mini dessert than a cookie.

What stood out most was how consistent the quality felt across different flavors. Even the more experimental ones are well-balanced rather than overly sweet.

Tips from experience: check the weekly menu before going so you don’t miss a flavor you actually want. Go earlier in the day—popular flavors often sell out. If you’re buying multiple, share them; the portions are big and can get overwhelming after two or three. Also, reheat at home for 10–15 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked texture.“

“Delicious empanadas, and desserts! More than just cakes, stop in for a delicious treat like I did!!“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“OMG...this IS the best sponge cake you'll have in NYC. I've had my fair share looking for one that compares to the original Kam Hing. The owner apprenticed with the original Kam Hing owner and finally opened his own cafe! Can't go wrong with the original flavor but the pandan coconut is sooooo goood! it's my new fav! This is my new go to place for sponge cakes!“

“Out of the several places I had eaten at in the city, this was easily the best. The young lady at the counter was extremely welcoming and kind. I was able to try the the dirty horchata, strawberry match and jelly bomboloni. All three were incredible. The bombolini was easily the best pastry I had in NY. I cannot recommend this place enough! If the staff/owner sees this, thank you very much for your hospitality and the great experience!“

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“Bread Story is a charming bakery that delivers fresh, well-made breads and pastries with a comforting, homemade feel. The selection is simple but thoughtfully done, with balanced flavors and quality ingredients. It’s a cozy spot to grab a quick bite or something to go, and the consistency makes it easy to come back again and again.“

“I have been waiting to try this bakery for 3 years after finding them on instagram and I am SO HAPPY I finally got the chance!! The space is so cute, the baked goods are immaculate aesthetically AND taste-wise. I wish I couldve tried everything but we got the cinnamon roll, ube mochi, chocolate chip cookie and citrus loaf. All insane and so worth it. The chorizo burrito was huge and flavorful. The cold brew was also very tasty and I’ve had my fair share of cold brews.
The workers were super sweet and welcoming, I love the family-run vibe and can’t wait to come back and continue supporting and tasting amazing food!!
100% worth the visit if you’re in nyc“

“love this place! the people are very nice and friendly“

“This is some of the best food around, full stop – and it just happens to be veg friendly. But beyond that, this is a very special establishment. It’s the kind of place where every single part of the experience reflects care and intention – from the menu, to the decor, down to the cutlery. The vibe is casual, and the folks working there are welcoming and make you feel taken care of. The cumulative experience makes for a level of hospitality that many more formal restaurants in the city have lost. I hope this place is around for many years to come.“

“these are incredibly delicious and the staff is so fun and friendly!“

“Just had a delicious meal here and highly recommend it to everyone! our server, Maria was amazing and guided us in our menu choices.“

“This was an amazing place for breakfast. The simet and honey sauce was amazing. The Egg beef breakfast was amazing. This place also sells desserts in addition to being a sit in eatery. Just don’t ask me to pronounce the name though. 5 of 5 stars. The older gentlemen who runs the place was amazing. Really cool guy. Very Family friendly.“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.
