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

“This is my second time ordering with cake studio NYC. The cake is always beautifully decorated (similar to the inspi photos I have shared) and tasty too! Duana is prompt with any questions on the order and whole process is smooth. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice bakery with a nice selection of baked goods, coffee & teas. I do wish they had more sugar free options aside from a blueberry or cranberry muffin, bit of which was sold out when I went, but that's fine. The Cranberry muffin I had was excellent.“

“Yes, Cold Stone might be a franchise, but this location feels anything but ordinary thanks to Micheal.. the heart and soul of the shop! He’s there almost every day, always greeting customers with a warm smile and adding a personal, welcoming touch that makes you want to keep coming back. And YES, they have the famous CHOCO TACO everyone’s been raving about on TikTok! Just make sure to come early because they do sell out fast. Ice cream is great, service is even better. Micheal makes this spot feel like your neighborhood go-to.“

“Wow, Karla Jimenez cake was the best decision for our baby shower. The cake was an absolute dream especially for the photos. The pineapple cake was moist and delicious - many of our guests never had Dominican cake before and was wow’d by the flavors. Responsive and punctual. Coming back for all our future cake needs“

“Best cakes I’ve ever had! Moist, dense, with the most decadent cream icing. Gorgeous too and photograph very well. So many unique flavors. The shop is a quiet, sunny place to spend an afternoon and the whole cake orders have never disappointed! I’ve gotten 3 birthday cakes from byClio (the first was off Instagram, before they even had a shop) and always look forward to the next year. So happy to see this business thriving. Cannot recommend more.“

“I'll definitely be back. The three non-dairy flavors i tried were all great, but I went with the P.O.G and another that was similar to almond joy. The owner was friendly and the seating area was comfortable. There's also outdoor seating available!“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“Maria’s Sans Rival cake lives up to the meaning of its name, undoubtedly unrivaled. It was made of sheets of chewy meringue loaded with crunchy cashew nuts, alternating with thick layers of “melt-in-your mouth” buttercream. Glad it was not too sweet that I was able to enjoy large servings of this delightful dessert. Great with coffee or tea.“

“I was looking everywhere for a bakery that could do a matcha flavored birthday cake for my boyfriend’s birthday and the team at Les Gateaux de Marie was so amazing and accommodating. Everyone loved the cake and couldn’t stop talking about it, the cake was perfectly sweet, light and airy, and all of the staff were SO KIND. Will be back again and again! Thank you for making his birthday so special!“

“I’d long oogled over Lucie’s Instagram account and finally I got to visit the bakery irl earlier this week and it didn’t disappoint. A cozy and charming spot with ofcourse beautiful AND delicious cakes. The fromage frais icing was so light and the perfect pairing to the carrot cake. I also loved the earl grey icing on the sponge cake-so inventive and not too floral, just right. Also it’s worth noting that the bakers in the kitchen looked very happy working there which says a lot I think. Hard recommend going here for a slice of calm and something scrummy in the city. Oh and the cappuccinos are so light and frothy! Can’t stop raving x“

“Small café, but very bright, clean, and airy. There was was a small loveseat, a couple barstools, one or two cafe tables with 2 seats, a bench with a cushion and 3 café tables out on the sidewalk. Came in about 1:30pm, and were greeted warmly. Almost all of the pastries were gone, but the cheese with fig danish and the plain croissant they had left were good. We also tried the matcha lemonade, strawberry matcha and a hot black sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte A LOT, the strawberry was good, and I personally hated the lemonade, but that is a personal preference thing. The good thing about it is it isn't too sweet, but it was heavy on the matcha, so it tasted like liquid grass to me. I definitely like nuttier sencha tea better. The prices were average for the area, and since everything is pricey now, it is what it is.

There were other patrons there, busily working and looked like they had been there for quite a while, which tells me it may be a good place to sit and focus for an hour or two.

My party of three sat outside and because it is located in a predominantly residential area, it was a nice place to sit since there aren't tons of pedestrians. There were a few bees/wasps though, so we had to leave after a bit(highly allergic). There were also mosquitos and lantern bugs around--I suspect there is some standing water on a roof nearby.

I will definitely walk over here again to get that sesame latte, and maybe stay and pretend looking productive. But I'll definitely come back.“

“The owner Erika was a pleasure to work with. Super helpful with choosing the right size cake. Designed the cake better than the picture I sent. The cross and rosary were so realistic it’s hard to believe it’s sugar. Not only was it a gorgeous cake but so fresh and delicious!“

“We selected The Hudson Cakery Cakery for our wedding and were thrilled with the taste, service, and gorgeous, classic look of our 3-tiered cake. They were friendly pros with a simple process to obtain samples. We highly recommend them for your wedding or event!“

“My sister was having a beach chic baby shower because her and her husband do not want to know the gender. She wanted cupcakes that looked like succulents that also taste delicious. I immediately thought of Huascar and asked if he could do it. I traveled to Florida with them and they were a hit. I can’t describe how beautiful they look and I can tell you the taste of theses cupcakes were out of this world. Everyone was contacting my sister afterwards to see where she’d got them. 😋😋😋“

“This review is a long time coming. Bill, made one of the best cakes I've ever seen for the US Open. Such a pleasure to work with and his creation was amazing! Would definitely use his services again.“

“Amazing customer service, amazing cakes..so happy that we found you.“

“It’s Carvel - been eating their soft serve since I was a kid. It’s always on point. This Carvel is clean and the staff is super nice (been there twice this week, don’t judge). The lack of the 5th star is there is only outdoor seating and because of location, someone is always sitting there,“

“Pinhas from Lestis was the best. He took personally my order on the phone, directed me, gave advice on my choices. He worked with me and cooperated in a way that I felt confident. I ordered many mini pastries. Some were customized, Lestis did a wonderful job! They were tasty and definitely wow factor at my daughter’s engagement party. Thank you!“

“I met her in 2014 and ever since then she makes every cake for any and every event. Not only are they welcoming, professional, lovable, and friendly their cakes are AhMayZinnnnn!! I can say she can literally do anything 🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“OMG! I am not exaggerating when I say the cake I received was not short of amazing. Chocolate Devil's Food with Raspberry buttercream. Tangy Raspberry preserves made from scratch by Jaclyn as well between the layers. Everyone who ate a piece of my birthday cake could not be more satisfied with the level of artistry in the decoration as well as the execution of the taste of the cake itself. I don't think I can go back to buying store bought cakes. They would just fail in comparison!“

“The best ubeflan cake we’ve tasted. Moist and the flan is so creamy. Will definitely order again. Good communication with Euneka. Highly recommended! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I live out of state, but when I visit my friends, I always find a huge joy coming here. The coffee is great, and the suggestions given by the owner herself are divine. It's always a 10/10! I will always recommend coming here and supporting a small business, especially one that makes you feel at home!“

“Experience was great!“

“Excellent place!!! Everything is top- notch!!! Highly recommended!“

“Red Gate Bakery is an experience that brings me back to loving life when it gets me down, when a hangover breaks me and/or when i want to experience heaven on earth. These unique concoctions are a once in a lifetime experience, unless you visit them weekly, which is recommended. While other bakeries get a lot of fame, these desserts are perfectly balanced so that you can eat them without feeling over-sugared. Go here. Be happy. You're welcome.“

“I need to say that Renee and Carrie are amazing! Very amazing service, being able to be answered in French at the boutique was amazing! I drove twice in 2 days to grab cupcakes and cookies… I cannot say what’s my favourite out of the cupcake, the brownies, the cookies etc because everything was decadent and not too sweet. You taste the quality of the ingredients and the love they put while cooking them. The fact that Carrie was answering me while the business is close is a sign that she’s passionate and that she care about her client. They’re on the expensive side compared to other bakery, but once you compare you understand why… You taste the butter in everything! If you like some fluffy, moist, creamy cupcake this is your place… While planning my wedding, I’ve compared a few bakery and non are as good as this one… Thank you for the amazing experience and taste!“

“Ordered a coconut cloud cake a week ago for my in-laws 35th wedding anniversary. It was the best gluten and dairy free cake I’ve ever had. You wouldn’t even know that it wasn’t a regular cake. I put the order over the phone and it was ready for pick up within 10 minutes. while a little bit pricey it was worth every penny. Will definitely be back.“

“Great cake and the home of the Biggie Smalls Cookie!“

“I’m a returning customer, and I’m so happy I chose Tingting’s shop to be part of my wedding day. I ordered the raspberry table cake and it was absolutely perfect. The fruits were incredibly fresh, the cream was rich and delicious, and the sweetness was just right. Tingting even packed the powdered sugar separately for me, which was such a thoughtful touch.

She also gave me professional advice on the perfect cake size, and it turned out exactly right for our guests. I’m truly grateful for her care and expertise. Thank you for making such a beautiful and delicious cake for our special day！“

“As a fat man and a traveler, I've had pastries from all over the world. And these are as good as Ive had anywhere. And the eggs were cooked perfectly on my sandwich. And no one ever cooks eggs perfectly. 5 Stars!“

“The new Pumpkin Basque Mochi Black Sesame Cake is absolutely incredible! The creamy pumpkin basque, the chewy mochi layer, and the rich nutty black sesame come together perfectly. It’s unique, balanced, and so satisfying without being overly sweet. One of the most creative and delicious cakes I’ve ever had—highly recommend!“

“These desserts were scrumptious!“

“Thank you Again Tee. The cake was delicious , I loved the design and coloring. Got 6-7 more orders I’ll be placing very soon. Thanks again sis your the Goat.“

“This cake literally saved my birthday.
I have loved cake since I was young but got recently diagnosed with celiac. For my 25th birthday I really wanted something special. She was able to put wording on my cake and it tasted so gooood holy moly!
This is one if not the best cake I’ve ever had in my life. I will absolutely be back. 10000/10“

“Quality products and great customer service!“

“Peter made an amazing lemon, raspberry cake for my best friend’s birthday.The cake was fluffy and the lemon frosting was perfect!
When I picked up the cake, I also bought a loaf of his white bread which was also delicious.
I will continue to support Peter and hope to have another cake soon.
Thank you!!!“

“I ordered a cake from this bakery and it was absolutely amazing! Not only was it beautifully decorated, but it tasted even better than it looked. The cake was fresh, moist, and full of flavor—everyone at the event loved it and kept asking where it was from. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the ordering process so easy. I will definitely be ordering again for future celebrations. Highly recommend!“

“This store is an absolute Bushwick gem! Any makes the most amazing creamy cakes. Her customer service is also top notch. She was able to pivot, went out of her way to take care of us and corrected an order due to a slight miscommunication.
Definitely recommend“

“Makes such amazing cakes! So happy with her creation for my daughter’s baby shower.“

“Please don’t hesitate to have your cake done at this Bakery they will not disappoint!! You will have amazing cake art and the flavors and texture of the cake will be amazing!! I love customer service and over all I appreciate and respect the talent this bakery I came in with different pieces and they put together my vision ❤️ I will for ever be grateful for my daughter sweet 16 cake.“

“Excellent bakery. Lots of quality and a nice variety of baked goods. My only complaint is that even though the espresso I had was made correctly, I didn't feel the "taste" was there. Must be a domestically made coffee. Wish they would use a true Italian espresso like Illy at the least. Other than that I'll be back.“
