“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😁“

“Okay I never leave reviews mid eating but I had to!
Owners please read for suggestions

Shakshuka: I am absolutely SHOCKED at how good this came out. As an Arab, my expectations were that it would be basic given it’s not an Arab business. But you guys made me feel like I’m in the Middle East with this meal. Amazing taste.

French toast: got this for my wife. I never eat French toast. Just don’t like it. But this was the first time I actually loved French toast. Idk something about the creaminess of the bread. Amazing

Match: wife loved it

Banana foam latte: ehh. It was way too sweet and I’m a sweet lover. Maybe reduce the sweetness?“

“친절한 사장님^^ 힐링 포인트“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“As most places in NYC, we stumbled upon this bakery. Once your eyes see it, I challenge you to not go into it. It’s a very colorful place and the person who served us was incredibly patient and friendly (I kept coming back to add to my order). The coffee was very, very good, my cortado was perfect.
We got a couple of pastries for the following day and the croissant (I’m French) was very good even after a day. It was filled with pistachio cream and the size was just right, the cream very nutty and not overly sweet and sickly. Shame we live so far away because I’d make it a regular.“

“You can buy a pineapple pork bun (so fast with cash your friends are shocked) put it in your backpack and travel across three states, pull it out slightly squished at 3am, and it'll still taste so fabulous you won't want to brush your teeth so you can savor the taste for longer. Juicy, tender, sweet, savory, with a slight crunch. A bun of dreams.“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience- I ordered 2 beef patties VERY GOOD!! The meat taste so different from a golden crust patty. Of course with a coco bread and took whole loaf 😊 if in the area stop by it’s worth it:) parking is tough, street meters.“

“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!“

“👍the best, miss going there, eccellente“

“The Original flavor is a classic not too sweet vanilla-ish taste from the 1980s that satisfies whether when served freshly piping hot from the back oven with its slight crust, or cooled into its signature classic spongey texture with a custard like top. I always get a single to eat and several boxes to go for sharing back home.

Over the years, the shop has transformed from older cantonese patrons sipping their small coffee and cake to a mix of all ages while preserving its ecletic charm. I hope this shop will continue to be here through future generations.“

“Im not even the biggest fan of cookies, but Levain is just so good.

Their cookies are huge and on the chunkier side. It’s slightly soft in the center but crunchy on the outside, and has sufficient mix in ingredients (chocolate chips, walnuts, etc.)

Fav is def the chocolate chips and walnut. I did find the two chip chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookie to be too chocolatey and sweet for my preference.

It’s a little hit or miss, but when it gets too busy they just grab it from the tray so the cookie is either warm or room temp, versus at a diff location ive gone to they heated it up and/or grabbed it from a fresh tray.

Workers are friendly and there’s some seats and areas to stand and enjoy your cookie! :)“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“We have been going to Nick and Son's since they open their bakery in Spring Lake, NJ. They offer the very best of everything which includes their delicious Croissants , breads, danishes, scones and world class coffee. The bakers and staff are top notch and offer world class service. During the holidays they offer the best pies ever. Don't miss out on the very best bakery in Monmouth County.“

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

“Sullivan Street Bakery is my go to coffee shop when I'm in Hell's Kitchen. The lattés are good. They have a fairly large variety of flatbreads, sandwiches, cookies, pastries and cake. I feel comfortable hanging there waking up and enjoying my coffee. Calm.“

“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.“

“Are you passionate about pistachios? I am and at Petit Chou there is a pistachio éclair ($8) that is simply divine. Studded with a profusion of the tasty nuts, this pastry also has pistachio cream inside making each bite heavenly. I ate this last Friday. It's best to wait a few minutes to let it soften a bit before starting to eat. When I truly enjoy something I tend to eat slowly savoring each bite even though I know I may have it again.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.

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

“This place is cozy and makes for a nice place to go out with friends, dates or even alone! I went in by myself and tried their banh mi, which despite not being like what you would find in a typical Vietnamese spot, was super tasty and I highly recommend it. Use my photo as evidence of how good it is, I ate half of it before I finally took a photo, haha. The bread itself was soft, it tasted fresh, and the filling wasn't overly spicy or bland, it was just right. The baked goods looked tempting and I might have to try them next time.

Service wise, they're great. The staff will let you know how long you'll wait for items and they are good at what they do, both in the front facing customers and in the back prepping.“

“5/26/2026
Stopped in for one of those pineapple and pork buns that I heard about in Chinatown and it did not disappoint. The shop was small but had a lot to offer for sure plenty of fresh baked goods, amazing cheap pricing and a homely feel to the place. The bun was way better than I expected lil sweet and savory and filled well. Stop by if your waiting in line next door for sure“

“Amazing baked goods that are not the same played out options you find at most bakeries.“

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

“definitely recommend it.“

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