chocolate and raspberry twists were tasteless and stale. Nutella tart and cannoli lobster tail were both good. seven layer cake had a weird floral perfume to it, but otherwise was okay.

Owners have the personality of a dumpster fire. They treat their employees as well as the customers like trash. Don't waste your money on these clowns.

You couldn't even convince me to come back to this place if the pastries were free. I paid 3 dollars for a vanilla donut and it was very dry. The dough tastes closer to a piece of wonder bread than anything a donut dough should taste or feel like. There was barely any vanilla cream in it and thank goodness for that because it was sour and almost tasted like vanilla yogurt. Do not waste your time or money at this place. It looks like almost all the good reviews are from years ago.

No longer Leske's and for 5 dollars a donut with barely any filling, I won't be returning.

Disgusting place, nasty with many flying insects around. I asked if they have other products inside they said no we sell only this what you see, The flies were all over the bread, i don't recommend it.

Their breads and rolls are wonderful....but you have to come in early in the day, as they usually sell out pretty qiuckly....

I wish you could give this place a zero. I went in just to get some bread. The place has new owners. They were closing and cleaning with the doors opened. We asked what time they closed the clerk looked disgusted by the sight of us and began to yell that she was closed. We asked from what time to what she would reopen tomorrow. But she looked frustrated by all the questions. Needless to say with an attitude like that she doesn't want customers at her new business.

Just ordered 4 donuts, they cost $20 and tasted like chemicals or plastic. Will not be going here again.

It's a bait and switch now they have Leskes sign outside but aren't a Scandinavian bakery anymore it's some Spanish name il fornaretto on the boxes n bags. No pies n cakes just generic cookies n breads i tried the apple strudel it tasted like canned apple pie filling wrapped in a soggy disgusting crust. The tarts were terrible and the cookies were stale n dry it was a sad experience altogether.

Very disappointed. I used to love love love the jelly donuts. I just purchased one. It didn't look the same. It was $5 and it was not good at all. I don't even know what kind of jelly was in it. So sad I had to throw it away. Not to mention the bag was completely soaked with oil by the time I got home which is only two blocks. The girl working was sweet that's why I gave it 3 stars.

So i went to this bakery at around 5pm and the place smelled like pine or some type of floor cleaner. This cleaning should be done when you close. The number of pastries were limited. Too bad... was expecting something else.

1st time going before closing & was greeted as I came in. Got loaf of Brioche bread which is firm and tasty. The walnut brownie was so soft, chewy, & very chocolatly. Will go again to try other pastries...
