We have been coming here for a long time. I appreciate this business, what I don’t appreciate is spending $30 dollars on cookies to be thrown in the box without care and tied up like I’m taking the trash out. Not the quality I am used to from this establishment.

I love Rose & Joe's Bakery ❤️! I have been a customer since they first opened. The sandwiches are excellent! For the last month, the sandwiches are never ready after 6 am. I then order things that I really don't want. Pls management, this is a new issue which you may know about.

I use to live in Astoria and now that I am in NJ I still have my husband travel to Astoria every holiday to pick up Rose & Jose’s pastries. The rainbow cookies, cannolis, apple pound cake, it is all the best. Also, no one beats their bread. And don’t get me started about their pizza - I wish I could still order it every friday.

I was there to purchase some cookies and overheard one of the workers berating a young woman who was inquiring about their help wanted sign. The way she spoke to her was unbelievably unnecessary and I don’t think I can continue to support this local business. I was horrified.

Giving them 5 stars because they are super nice people. Had the pleasure of waiting on them today. Omgosh! The pics of the bread are killer! Nice meeting you both!

Everything about this place is nice. When you walk in you get this old school NYC greeting. They allow you to shop the case and answer any questions you have. The food samples are very delicious. I samples vanilla and chocolate cookies but I listened to the many customers in the store (mostly above 60 on my visit) telling me what cookies to try and their favorites. It appears that Rose and Joe has touched the little pastry hearts of the community.
The pastry case—immaculate, nice fresh made pies, cookies, and they do have some commercial items for sale. Highly recommend for the old school New York vibe.
So why the 1-star?
Well I’m a pastry chef and no fool I believe there’s a mix of commercial bought and store-made to complete the inventory (very suspicious as I’ve seen other very similar products in competing shops (and at the Serafina at the Italian Center in Stamford, CT) there’s a bulk order (or distributor) bakery for these little Italian specialties. Until I see otherwise, my opinion remains. These companies have a specific taste profile.
I didn’t see any believable kitchen resources that would lead me to believe these products are made onsite.

I only had the black and white cookie but it passed all the “authentic NY B&W” tests that I’d recommend their other pastries.

Not a fan at all., bread was gooey and bland, the meat bread had no flavor. The sfogliatella nothing to brag about also raw and blahhh sorry folks. Looks are deceiving as well as presentation.
