“Delish perfect after my puja“

“Met the owner....he is such a down to earth person. the cookies are amazing. I love ❤️ the two that I had and would definitely be getting some more for the holidays.“

“I saw this bakery snuggled away while driving past it & knew I had to return. The inside is nice & clean. It's Filipino style desserts which is lovely. They have a large selection of dessert items to choose from.

On the weekend's they sellout fast so get here early. I had their Banana bread loaf which was my favorite of everything. It was so soft and warm, wish I'd gotten more of it.
The burnt basque cheesecake was nice & decadent. The BonBons were absolute perfection. They have a seasonal and rotating menu which always has something delicious to offer.

They have these adorable boxes to pack the food in with a colorful pink theme. The staff is kind & helpful. They have a small lot to park your car in which is appreciated. I've honestly never been to a dessert shop such as Fern & Aurora, it's a nice change from the regular ole baked goods. I highly recommend everybody to come check them out.“

“The cheesecake and crumb cake are our favorites“

“I liked it! I got some as a gift so I didn’t visit the actual store. All time favorite thing here was the strawberry pastry (if the business replies; please just say the name of that one) SO good. I would come back for that. Fantastic. Fluffy and light and airy with a perfectly sweetened cream fluff inside. Wow.
Corn cheese bread was sooo fun. If it’s served warm; I bet you it’s fantastic but I did eat it a couple of hours after it was ordered.
The fig bread had an amazing texture to it. Light and fluffy like Portuguese bread (I did personally wish the figs were cut smaller to enjoy more evenly but that’s personal preference)
The variety of stuff was really fun! Some things I did not like at all but my friends did so that was just personal preference.“

“Absolutely delicious cookies!!!! On time, inexpensive and were beautiful designs. Will definitely order more.“

“Utopia Bagels: So Good, It Deserves Its Own Hotel

If there’s one place that truly defines bagel perfection, it’s Utopia Bagels in Queens. The variety? Endless. The freshness? Unmatched. Every bite is a reminder of what a real, classic New York bagel should taste like—crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, and packed with flavor.

Honestly, I have a suggestion for the shop—open a hotel! With products this good, people should be able to stay a few days just to experience everything on the menu. Every time I visit, I end up spending at least 2-3 hours here because there’s just too much goodness to enjoy.

And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly. Their warmth and hospitality make this place even more special. It’s not just a bagel shop; it’s a spot where you feel welcomed, appreciated, and always well-fed. I’m sure everyone would agree—Utopia Bagels is a must-visit, must-experience, must-love kind of place. Blessings up to the whole team! 🙌🥯🔥“

“This bakery is a 10/10 across the board! The cookies and brownies are absolutely delectable, the cake decoration is among the best I have seen, it has got it all. The cheesecake brownie was a top notch choice that my family and I enjoyed. Definitely check this place out!“

“We had the best experience ever with this bakery - the cake was included in our venue pricing through this bakery, and I can definitely see why! Working with Alison to schedule and have our tasting, which was just down right fun...(because of COVID we had to take our samples home... and she loaded us up with some extras to share with friends) to showing her our vision for the cake on the day of, and then actually SEEING and EATING it at our wedding was perfect all the way through. They really incorporated everything we asked for, and it was simply delicious!!! We even asked for an extra birthday cupcake for our nephew to have on the day of the wedding, and they made it sooo cute! (wish I could figure out how to add a picture here... It was SO pretty!!!)“

“Legendary Brooklyn baker Don Paco López has finally opened a Long Island outpost. This is the same bakery that was immortalized at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, and has a cult following for its conchas, tamales and milanesa and pierna tortas. The Westbury location is also tended by members of Don Paco López’ family so quality is guaranteed. The bread is fresh, made daily (by hand). I had an order or Bavarian cream-filled churros for a school event and they were a smashing hit. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.

Kid-friendliness: There are hand crafted piñatas on site, Mexican candy and sweet baked goods and pastries perfect for kids .“

“Whenever I'm in Merrick, which is usually two or three times a month, I always stop at Bagelman of Merrick. They have the best bacon and egg sandwiches and their tuna and chicken salads are always a welcome sight back home. Their bagels are always fresh and flavorful no matter what variety I get. I've come to know the owner, Boris, and his staff, and they are always most helpful. Looking forward to my next trip to Merrick.“

“Moved from Brooklyn and I am so happy I found this place. I used them once for a party at my in-laws for my son’s 4th bday. Went back for my son’s 6th bday and I couldn’t be happier. Now that I am officially in the neighborhood, I will be back for ALL celebrations.“

“Had a great time celebrating 🥳“

“Staff, food & price are all top notch. Even crazy customers demanding proper placement of face masks cannot ruin the wonderful experience 😁“

“I’m so happy that I ignored the reviews and ordered from here anyway. I’m Colombian, so if I think the food is good it’s because it is! Their hot chocolate was authentic and delicious! Their buñuelos are huge which is a plus! The portions of their dishes are perfect. I was extremely happy with my order. I’m so happy that I was able to order through seamless and they delivered to me 2 miles away. My food and drink were hot and fresh! I was so delighted that I even called the restaurant to thank them because their hot chocolate spoke to my soul. I can’t wait to try their soups over the weekend.“

“This bakery came highly recommended from a friend of mine and I was not disappointed. I ordered a custom cake for a 50th birthday and it came out amazing! They followed the picture exactly, and it tasted amazing and was super fresh! I highly recommend it!“

“I was craving a late sweet treat. (There goes my diet) I ran across Layers from Uber Eats and googled the store to read the reviews which were great but I saw some bad reviews about the cakes being stale and not fresh. My cravings got the best of me and I ordered despite some bad reviews. Man oh man was I happy I did. The brownie was delicious and moist. I hate hard dry brownies this place did not disappoint. I also ordered red velvet cupcakes. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure it will be great! Thank you Layers!!🔥🔥“

“I ordered a cake last minute and completely forgot to pay in advance, but she was so kind and still went ahead and created the most beautiful and delicious cake. It exceeded all my expectations—everyone at the event was so impressed. The design was stunning, and the taste was even better. Thank you so much!“

“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.“

“Found this place accidentally when I went to Starbucks and I’m so happy I did! The cinnamon buns pulled me in so I decided to try a few other items and my boyfriend won’t stop raving about the wild berry danish and said it was 10/10. The woman was super nice and stated everything was baked fresh daily.. definitely tasted like it!!! Will be back!“

“Very nice place to join friends and or family for bkfast, light lunch, tea.“

“Hands down best Macarons I ever tasted😋“

“The best Bakery around!! Everything from the food to the staff, They’re fantastic💯“

Best ice cream in Queens“

“Grandpa Chen’s Char Siu Bao is tasty, but their Pineapple Bun with Roast Pork?

Absolute perfection, especially when it’s still warm from the oven! I’m already counting down the days until I can go back and explore more of their delicious baked goods!“
