Bought a marble cheesecake recently and was very disappointed. Stale and a bad taste. Been a customer for over 20 years but the quality has declined over the past year. The place has also got filthier too. Looks like the owner is giving up and not willing to adapt to the change of the neighborhood

Strawberry Shortcake for Birthday was AMAZING! So FRESH and just perfect! It was enjoyed by the whole office staff! Wish I remembered to take a pic before it was enjoyed!

I used to love this bakery. They have great potential. If they clean the entire bakery. Their pastries are hard as a rock. Someone has to keep up and let go if pastries don’t sell. It’s such a shame to be honest. Please don’t let your legacy go down like this. Your customers are letting you know. It is not the cleanest and your pastries are stale. We will always support you guys but a change is overdue.

Good old fashioned Italian bakery but I have had better pastries at Veniero's but not bad Italian style cheesecake

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

Owner is so obnoxious & is not very nice or engaging with customers. What kinda owner/boss sits there on her laptop watching the workers. I lived in Astoria for over 19 years way back when this bakery was famous and known for its quality. They make nothing on the premises...their bread is bought in from Rose & Joes which is right by the subway. So whos making their other pastries???? Go to Martha's...it is so much better!!! What a shame that you've destroyed your family business. I see this shop closing soon. BYE

Old time Italian Bakery, everything you can think of. The girls working were very nice.
Had a Strawberry napoleon which was recommended by the lovely waitress at the counter. It was light and flaky and very tasty

3 generations of my family have gone to La Guli, mainly for the cannoli. They are the best, with creamy filling instead of the excessively sweet filling many places use.

I’ve been to this store twice in the last week and both times have been fine. I saw there were quite a few negative reviews but can’t say my experience was bad in any way. This shop is super cute, well laid out and has a beautiful selection of classic cakes, desserts, pastries and biscuits. Both items I’ve tried have been delicious.

A staple in Astoria for many years. I absolutely think they have the best cannoli in Queens, so tasty and the shell is perfectly crisp . I look forward to the holidays to treat myself to the Struffoli they make at La Guli . The honey balls are decorated so nice with confetti, common Jordan almonds, green/red cherries hazelnuts and almonds. Just amazing ! La Guli it is also very popular for the ices they serve. I can never really just stop buying a spumoni here. Although there are many delicious flavors. I have never purchased anything from here that is stale or not baked to perfection, I will continue to frequent this bakery for as long as it's around!

I've been coming here for years, getting pastries, cookies, cakes, etc for family gatherings. Everything is great and every time I get something for a party it's a big hit. Excellent quality!
