“I requested a custom cheesecake and they did not disappoint! Placing the order was easy and cake was ready at the time that I needed, no wait at all. When I gave them the idea of my cake, couldn't get a definite yes as they had to check with the baker, but the next day, I received a prompt response that it was possible. This cake was such a hit with my family. I'm glad I ordered from them!Also, I love their variety of mini cakes and cheesecakes and the rainbow cookies are so yummy! I've been going there for a year now and started off with the pastries they have readily available. I knew I would eventually request something custom from them.Parking: The parking lot can get pretty full at times and it's not too big.“
“Been here twice already and I'll be coming back! I love supporting small family owned shops but it's easy here because the desserts/pastries here are delicious. The desserts are Filipino-inspired which is not commonly seen in this area. I've tried their basque cheesecake, ube donut, and their Bicho bicho, along with the ube foam iced coffee. I'm not even a big fan of ube but that recommended ube donut was a pleasant surprise. I'll be back to try their croissants :-)“
“I’m one of their repeated customer not only for the authenticity of their Italian pastries cakes and and gelato… but also for their will yo make me happy every time I ask if they can do something outside of their menu…i love visit and have my cappuccino at the place where I get to unwind. The owner know me as soon as I walk in and they already know what my usual is ☺️. I dine in but I also take a lot to go …. Everything is good I will just mark some of my repeatsDietary restrictions: If in doubt ask the server“
“At first glance, you would think this shop is just a wholesaler, but to my surprise you can actually buy boxes too!! They have a wide array/variety of sweets and all of them looked heavenyl. The gentleman whowas running the place is extremely professional and helpful. He allowed me to sample 4-5 pieces of the sweet itself. I ended up buying 4 small boxes and 2 big boxes. Toally affordable priced as well! My favorite was definitely the “Mango barfi” which is a milk based sweet. I finally have a place i can go to for all my sweet needs! Especially since it is Ramadan and sweets are necessary for every iftaar.“
“These are all my cookies i have ever gotten from crumbl. They were all delicious. Cannot eat a whole cookie in one sitting tbh but that is not a bad thing at all! That means I can savor the cookie over a period of time woo! My favs from the times I've got crumbl were blueberry cheesecake, snickerdoodle cupcake, cannoli and cinnamon square! Many awesome and yummy flavors. The store is very clean and smells of fresh cookies. Yummmm“

“I heard that plum cakes are usually boring to eat. But after eating this yummy and fresh cake i could even say that no other cake can take its place. Really tasty? If you want to feel joyous and happy, you must try this Lovely plum cake. Wonderful Christmas special cake? NYCAKESNBITES?#musttryRanjith keep going?“
“We ordered a custom biscoff cake for my daughters birthday. The communication was great; super understanding when we had to reschedule our order to a different day last minute so A+ for service. The cake itself was absolutely beautiful and it was so moist and flavorful. Every parent at the birthday party asked where we got the cake. This is our new go to spot!“
“Tried their red velvet cake with NO EGGS! Simply put, it was amazing! Very enjoyable, and I will be visiting again. This is an example of what happens when vendors are nice to people because they are customers and not judging them based upon prejudices. After trying their red velvet cake, I might be trying a few other items.“
“Wanted a nice cup of velvety not too sweet strong coffee! Found this gem and the Lady up front so sweet! Recommended a macchiato. Got the vanilla flavor and she made it perfect! So happy found another coffee spot that is worth the beans for your bucks! And service too!“
“We love this establishment!!We have had various coffees, pastries & now ice cream!Cheesecake, chocolate and tiramisu ice cream was a delicious creamy treat.The pastries are so good that every bite makes you go “mmmmm!”Bayville is lucky to have you “
“This place looks very artsy on the outside, once you step inside you feel like you’re at home with the decor. There are two self serve kiosks which are really well designed and easy to use. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Definitely come here for authentic Korean street food.“
“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“
“This is a must try for all those with a bit of a sweet tooth. Their cupcakes are soooo good. The owner is such a nice person, and you can taste the love put into the food. Thank you for your generosity and kind spirit.Friendly neighborhood amazon delivery driver ?“
“Gelato is tasty and superb . ButThe ladies behind the counter had a noticeably annoying attitude . Maybe ill give them the benefit if the doubt that it was near closing time and there was still a handful of customersJust wanted to point that out because I know businesses always strive for improvement“
“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“
“Food was amazing and the service was even better. The kind woman who served me gave me some samples of the other meats which were so delicious. The baked chicken and pork chop were falling off the bone so tender and flavorful. Tried their homemade passion fruit juice and it tastes amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu!“
“A lovely, sunny and delicious respite from the cares of the world... How wonderful to find a place that serves top notch vegan fare--both sweet and some savory offerings too. Loved the rainbow cookies, Jamaican Patty and the black cake. The layer cakes are spectacular as well. Coffee, tea, chai, cappuccino--just some of the hot drink offerings to go with your treats. The owners are most congenial and welcoming, serving you with utmost care and attention. The bakery is light and airy with several tables to dine at. Located across the street from the Glen Oaks library on Union Turnpike, there is ample street parking as well as the large parking lot located behind the bakery. There is convenient access to public transportation too: the Q36 and Q46 stop steps away. My family and I truly enjoyed our time at Rose Valley bakery and cannot wait to do so again!“
“Grew up in the Meadow when there were only a few bagel stores to pick from, yet visit from the south I always visit SantaFe and bring home a piece of LI ! Staff is always pleasant and bagels fresh. Still haven't figured out how many extra I get w a dozen but no complaints.“
“Nice place, but waaaaaaaay over priced. $6 for carrots ? they're definitely taking advantage of the affluent neighborhood. Bought a small apple pie ($23) and it tasted good but it's like a jiffy pop popcorn, obnoxiously high crust so you can't cut a slice cleanly, definitely can NOT serve this to guests, impossible to plate (see pics) also a small 6" zucchini bread ($8.95) it was good.“
“Great local bakery. Everything is always fresh the only complaint I would have is that they are cash only and usually you will have to wait for the ladies behind the counter to finish with their phones or conversation before they acknowledge you. Otherwise the food and pastries are top notch“
“I have never been here before, but would always drive past it. The new ownership is very friendly and the cafe is so cozy and vibey. This is a great place to catch up with a friend and have a sweet time. Also, the bathroom is clean (big plus for me). I will absolutely be coming back.“
“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“
“Today I purchased some cupcakes and they were phenomenal!! Highly recommend coming here for desserts. I have been wanting to try their stuff for a minute now and today I had a sweet tooth, and it was definitely exceptional. Definitely will be spreading the word and will be coming back.“
“Anita is exceptional. Her cakes and desserts were delicious and a highlight of my sister’s baby shower. She’s professional, thorough and attentive. Anita’s email and number have a permanent home in my contacts. Do yourself a favor and book with her.“
“Ordered the fresh cream cake with strawberry filling for a birthday last week- compliments all around from the guests! The delivery driver through door dash was unresponsive but I called the shop and she had a back up plan in case the cake didn’t show! Really thankful for how helpful she was!“
“Great bakery with amazing sandwiches and pastries. Now they opened a meat restaurant next door!! I took my daughter to eat at Noir last night. Was really good! The plum salad with the citrus beet dressing was amazing. Like so fresh and we couldn’t get enough of that dressing!!! And I loved the shaved fennel salad too…my daughter doesn’t like fennel so, more for me!!! We shared the schnitzel because I heard it was the best and it was so yummy! perfectly crunchy and tasty and moist. The servers were friendly and attentive. The dining room filled up while we were there, on a random Tuesday!! And everyone seemed to be enjoying. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Very convenient location..Perfect spot for enjoying a cup of coffee..I ordered the crunch dessert and it was delicious!..loved it..it was a Nutella dream come true..but we also ordered the tiramisu and that was disappointing..the coffee powder was thick instead of a light coat so the first bites tended to be dry..there was a cream colored swirl topping that we thought was a soft cream..it wasn't..it was hard and very bland tasting..tiramisu wasn't worth the price..“
“I have always loved Layers and have been a long time, frequent patron. In fact, I love Layers so much that I wanted them to make a birthday cake for my baby’s first birthday celebration next week. I was given the phone number to the baker, yet my calls were never answered or returned, and I couldn’t leave a voice mail. I have called probably 5 times over the past week, and it’s disheartening that I probably will have to go elsewhere last minute for his cake as I wasn’t expecting it to be this difficult to reach the baker. All in all, great desserts but that experience has made me remove a star. ☹️“
“The cookies here are to die for! Surprisingly they also sell donut holes. And for the price, variety, and taste they are an absolute must! I got one of each flavor, and each one was better then the next. Like..Tim hortons and dunkin who? Hahaha. For only $15 we got a mini carrot cake, a dozen donut holes, and a large sprinkle cookie. What a deal! The shop is so quaint and they have so much to choose from. You can even get dog treats, edible cake decorations prepacked loaf cakes and cookies.Even though they take credit cards, they have an ATM inside for convenience. So if you're trying to hop on the RVC train and need cash, you can quickly open in.Parking is metered street parking. There is more parking on the one way street around the corner, if you can't find one in the front.“
“Had an amazing time there as the owner is so personable and aims to have a “small cafe in Connecticut kind of feel” which I definitely got. She really works to personalize your orders and is willing to try new recipes. I got the chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake, apple cinnamon muffins, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies , double chocolate cookies, and bloodies which all tasted incredible! I highly recommend anyone with a special diet whether it be gluten (which she has a separate area of the kitchen for), vegan, kosher, etc. this is your place!“
“The baker Nia was so nice and she did an amazing job. She had a great attitude and wanted details and was eager to help. The people at the service counter were pretty good one lady was much more engaged than the other but overall my cupcakes were delicious and I will be back.“
“Been coming here for a few years and I love this place! The staff is always friendly and their baked good are delicious! I never mind the trip even though it’s a bit far from me because it’s well worth it! Perfect to get something for any occasion or just to stop by for a sweet treat. Highly suggest trying any of their pastries with fresh fruit and cream as the fruit is always fresh and the cream is perfectly sweetened!“
“Listen, I don’t say this lightly - these are THE BEST custom cookies on Long Island. Don’t bother going anywhere else. From the attention to customer service to the detail in every cookie, every step was A+/5 stars/10/10/Would Recommend. Not only were the cookies beautiful, they were also tasty. And to top it all off, they are reasonably priced. Too reasonably. I sent the baker a Pinterest photo and she exceeded my expectations!“
“The BEST cookies! My wife and I live almost 10 miles away but still go regularly because the cookies are that good! Also, our server, Christina, was awesome! I’d like to leave you all with a quote: “COOKIE! COOKIE” - Cookie Monster, Sesame Street“
“Kind of a hidden gem. Food is good. Prices are reasonable but if you're looking for something trendy this is not the place. At first glance. I don't think most people would even realize that they serve food it just looks like a small bakery. Don't let that intimidate you sit at one of the tables. Look through the menu and give the food a try.“
“We had our daughters 8th birthday at Celebrations in the Kitchen and have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! From start to finish all the girls were entertained and excited. They had a blast making cookies and bringing them home to their families :) highly recommend!“
“Had coffee & tea early in the morning with a friend two days ago—fabulous tea service and the cappuccino was just right.Went back later with my son--he LOVED their chicken club sandwich. What's not to love? It was a generous portion. Plenty of chicken and amazing sauce on the side and FRESH french fries. Service was more than attentive. The waitress was lovely and when I looked up for a moment just to take in the beautiful space, a male server stepped over to see if I needed anything. Asked me if I needed lemon or honey with the tea-- that impressed me. Usually you have to ask for everything. Also lovely attention to details with the choice of dishes and cutlery and variety of cups for drinks. Lots of options for pastries as well. Will go back again this weekend for sure! Great job!“

“They have the best cupcakes and cakes! We asked the owners to bake us cakes and cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday and my son's Baptism and both cakes were so beautifully baked, delicious and exactly what we wanted! The cupcakes are equally amazing and my absolute guilty pleasure! I even bought them for my daughter's daycare teachers and my co-workers for Mother's Day and they were a total hit every time! We also love ordering from them for birthday celebrations and 'just because'! Highly recommend! They use fresh ingredients and never disappoint! My best friend is now also hooked! Lol“
“Staff is great and the desserts are always on point!! Must try the Crunchy cake! My family loves is! Our go to cake for any birthday or party we have! Cookies are delicious and the coffee was very tasty! All the employees had great attitude and the atmosphere overall was amazing! Definitely give them a try and I promise your sweet tooth craving will be satisfied!“
“I had been wanting to try this place and decided on a whim to stop by when we happened to get dinner nearby, and was so glad we did! We had the mont blanc and Oreo croffles (they only had a few options left at the end of the day). They still tasted fresh, great texture, and flavors were nice without being too sweet. I hope they expand their savory options too, but either way will definitely be back!“
“I grew up eating Wall's and so without fail, whenever I'm back home (and it's not that often) I make a stop to get a ridiculous amount of my all time favorite cookies and babka. This place hasn't changed at all in the last few decades I've been there and I'm sure since it opened, and I'm glad it hasn't. Walking in through the parking lot door is like walking through a Time Machine. Memories of being in there as a kid, and still feeling the joy of picking out our cookies makes me so incredibly happy. But, hate to say the red and green leaf cookies are gone - those were my fav but not to worry, all the other household favorites are still there, and still delicious.“
“Amazing bakery in a convenient location.Go there for a coffee and leave with a ton of desserts. I come here 2-3 days a week and always enjoy a few Meia-de-Leite! The best coffee I have tasted in the neighborhood with great service. Bakery has fresh bread daily, with delicious sandwiches and awesome sweets. The pastel de nata is so tasty feels like your in Portugal.Kid-friendliness: They have little tables with kid chairs on the side. I take my two year old and he enjoys people watching while having his juice and bread.“
“First of all, if you have small hands, dining in, and ordering an Americano? Ask for it in a disposable cup! The cup is HUGE! It's cute, photo worthy...yet...HUGE! Please reference the photo I've posted if you don't believe me.. Anyways! If your map is taking you somewhere questionable, Le Pain Quotidien is located at the Roosevelt field mall right next to Neiman Marcus and Vince. There's plenty of parking during brunch time. If you're shopping, you can find them on the first floor near the entrance to the mall between those two stores. Le Pain Quotidien is beautiful inside and clean. There are plenty of seating and different tables to choose from. They have flowers on every table and I think that's quite lovely. You enter, seat yourself. If you're on the go, you can stand in line to order. The staff is very friendly. It can be busy. It took them quite some time to bring out our food. If you've never been there, I suggest taking a look at their menu beforehand. There were a lot of delicious choices so it took us a while to decide on what we want. We ordered the organic mini Dutch pancakes with berries to share, Chicken mozzarella melt tartine with avocado (extra charge), turkey bacon & avocado tartine with an organic egg (extra charge), and a toasted paris ham & Gruyère croissant. For drinks, we ordered apple juice, an americano, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious and full of flavor! I highly recommend the mini Dutch pancakes with berries. It was light and scrumptious! The dishes were quite big so I'm sure you can share. We didn't. We were too busy devouring it. We became very quiet when the food came out. I believe I was breathing in my food.. For those who are watching their calories, their calorie count is pretty low. I had a hard time looking for something that was over 500 calories.. That's why I added the extra side order of organic egg with my meal! I thought it was very helpful to see the calories on the menu next to the dish. It would've been nice if the macros would've been posted but I'm not complaining! I plan on coming here more often to try out the different menu items and to read. I'm not sure what the time limit is to stay there but I guess I'll find out and update this review!“
“Love the soft cookies and lil sis enjoyed the caramel drizzle brownies, top favorites with me and the fam is the chocolate chip cookie, cookie & cream cookie, buttercrunch, caramel apple oatmeal, red velvet cookie. Totally worth the visit ?“
“I have been meaning to stop by this bakery for a while. I grabbed a Too Good To Go recently, so it made me keep a promise to myself to visit. The entire neighborhood smells delicious from their baking. You walk in and are overwhelmed with the huge variety of delicious looking baked treats. It's more like a cafe inside than a traditional bakery. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and gave us our box. The treats within were beyond amazing. Rich flavours and excellent textures. This place is top notch! Now I need to make a point to visit more often.“
“I happen to be coming here at the Conduit, more often than the Linden Blvd location. The ladies are very courteous and professional. The toto is great, the stew peas and the chicken soup is toppa toppa!! Wednesdays and Fridays with pigtails, for those who like it in their stew peas. I love me some Patmar!!“
“First time coming here as I usually go to the one in Astoria. Staff was super friendly and the cookies obviously did not disappoint. My favorite of all time is either the blueberry yogurt or the peanut butter and jelly. Wifey loves the chocolate chip. Will definitely be back knowing that it’s closer to the house now.“
“Great place with great pastry options! Went there at the end of a Sunday for a coffee and pastry and I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant filled pistachio cream was delicious as well as the apricot and almond bar! The monte cristo sandwich was ok, would not order again. I enjoy eating at the place to enjoy a cafe atmosphere. Would go back to try more treats!“
“I wanted to take the time and express how much this bakery made my two year olds birthday perfect. My daughter is obsessed with shrek the movie and we were so impressed and excited when we saw her cake. We requested a shrek cake, vanilla. Not only was it absolutely delicious but the resemblance is absolutely phenomenal. 5 stars! If you need anything - this is your place. Not only is everything fresh and delicious but there is true true talent here!“
“Bagels and Bialys is a no-frills bagel shop serving high quality bagels (...the right way!). If you live on Long Island, you know it's never easy to get a fresh, hot bagel after 8:00am. Luckily, this shop continues to make them throughout the morning. Reviewing the place solely on the bagels, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.Now on to the service...this is an area that could use significant improvement. The older employees, who used to know what they were doing, have been replaced with poorly trained employees. I want to state that the owner of this bagel shop is extremely nice and hardworking, but he needs to work on his hiring skills. How do you write down a single bagel order on a notepad, get the entire order wrong, and than ask me what I ordered again? It makes no sense, especially when there are no other customers in the store. If they did less gossiping, the service would improve tremendously.“
