50 Best Bakeries near Elmont

“Layers Bakeshop is hands down my favorite bakery. The first time I ever had Layers was actually in Pakistan, so it already held a special place for me. Later on, a close friend introduced me to the U.S. locations and fun fact, she and her brother actually own the franchise. They’ve truly done an amazing job with every store so far.

I’ve been to about three Layers locations, and while the Elmont Layers Bakeshop location is the smallest one, it’s also the closest to me, which makes it my go-to. The quality, presentation, and consistency are always on point.

Honestly, I love almost everything from this bakery, but right now my absolute favorite is anything Lotus-flavored you really can’t go wrong with it. The desserts are rich, balanced, and never disappoint.

I also noticed they’ve started making candles, which is such a smart and creative addition to the brand. It just shows how much thought they put into expanding beyond desserts while keeping the same aesthetic and quality.

If you haven’t tried Layers yet, you’re seriously missing out. Highly recommend stopping by especially the Elmont location if you’re nearby.“

“I have been coming to Sapienza bake shop for almost 20 years since my parents moved here to Elmont. They have been using Sapienza for a long time and as my children were born and I needed there birthday cakes or any type of cakes I stood with them. I love there cakes and Andrew is always a pleasure to work with. I have nothing but positive words for the bakery. There prices are affordable and there products are always on point.“

“Torta bellissima e super buona....Un successone da tutti i punti di vista! E la simpatia e la gentilezza dei proprietari sono un ulteriore motivo per raccomandare Bella's Bakery“

“Buff Patty has excellent food across the board. I have ordered food at both their location in Elmont and in Brooklyn and their food is consistant in both flavor and quality - excellent. So far I have had their Jerked Chicken, Curried Goat, Oxtail, and beef patties and everything was flavorful, tender and authentic. I highly reccomend Buff Patty to anyone who likes or has not tried Jamaican cuisine.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Ali at Tim Hortons, and I must say, he is a shining example of how service should be done. In a world where haste and carelessness often overshadow genuine customer care, Ali stood out like a beacon of kindness and professionalism. His genteel demeanor, attentiveness, and conscientious approach were nothing short of remarkable.

From the moment I stepped up to the counter, Ali made me feel valued and well taken care of. He greeted me with a warm smile, patiently took my order, and ensured everything was prepared to perfection. It was clear that Ali takes immense pride in his work and genuinely cares about the experience of each customer.

Such dedication and grace are rare to find these days, and I left Tim Hortons not just with a great coffee but with a renewed appreciation for exceptional service. Ali, thank you for reminding us that kindness and professionalism can make all the difference. You truly made my day brighter!“

“i went to shakalaka in flushing queens and it was great! The staff were very friendly and the sweets and the drinks were amazing. I had tried the coconut mousse with iced coffee and it was the best and it’s also budget friendly. i recommend !!“

“First time at Leonetti. Loved the place, the layout and open space of the sitting area, the way they have their cakes placed inside the fridge, not overcrowded and are able to appreciate the beauty of the cakes. Everything looked amazing and very clean. I really recommend Leonetti to anyone in the area or just passing by!“

The ube cheesecake was delicious and rich and not overly sweet which was great. The cashier and baker were incredibly kind and sweet.

“It's been a hot hot hot minute since I came here after I moved to Long Island Suburbs. My son's big day today and I took a trip here to pick up my custom strawberry cake layered with their famous lightly sweetened freshly whipped cakes. When you step inside It's as if you step back in time. My mom first took me here when I was 11 or 12 and this place still look the same. The bakery captures a lot of customers from the surrounding businesses such as the hospital. It's great to see a flow a diverse crowd visiting this Gem. I also picked up half dozen curry beef pastry and their chicken rolls. I took a bite and taste just like my first time eating them in the 1990s when I was a little boy. When I want a good delicious healthier cake I come to Yeh's.“

“The cheesecake and crumb cake are our favorites“

“This burger spot is a hidden gem on Northern Boulevard. VERY affordable burger (smash burger and chicken sandwich were $5) and the quality is top notch - great quality beef and well-seasoned chicken. The man who owns it was extremely courteous and respectful, which made this hole-in-the-wall experience exceptional. I'd 110% recommend going here!“

“I found out about this place when going for Banh mi in the same food court. I tried their UBE tres leches ans holy holy was it delicious. How has this place not gone viral yet?? Suckered away in the back of the food court but all is delicious. The owner which was this very nice lady was so sweet and friendly. Absolutely loved all the different desserts they had to offer.“

“Everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was amazing even cold. The chocolate chip cookie had the perfect salty-sweet balance. I don’t even like blueberries, but their blueberry bun with cream cheese frosting was so good I had to pause. The blondie was soft and rich and just right.

It’s really hard to find a bakery where everything hits. This place does. You can tell there’s real care in the food. This isn’t just baking to bake, there’s love in it.“

“Neighborhood staple, in the City, too. Pastrami, Egg and Cheese on an Everything Egg Bagel, BEC (Bacon, Egg and Cheese), and TEC (Turkey, Egg and Cheese) on Wheat. All housemade Bagels so they're fresh and ready to go. They do other breakfast items, if needed: Pancakes, Homefries, etc.

Plenty of street parking.

Service is congenial and as swift as can be.“

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !“

“My mom has been purchasing their Rosca de Reyes since 1997 when we lived in Brooklyn. Now she goes to the one in the city. They are delicious and well made. Just perfect! My children love it as well as all my family. They are by far the best ones in town.“

“I just had a “Celebration of Life” for my mother in NY… I live out of state. This business is trustrustworthy and awesome… the items ordered were absolutely delicious( everyone was asking where I purchased from)…it was my pleasure to share my experience…they were so accommodating to my requests, delivery was perfect and on time…they even called to make sure I was satisfied. WOW doesn’t get any better than this! Thank you Nitas… you are the BEST!“

“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!!!)“

“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!“

“Joes is the spot for all your stuff. The place smells like heaven when you walk in! Lemon cookies are my favorites. Forget about it“

“I placed an order for a Super Bowl party. Strawberry cheesecake, 12 cupcakes, and rainbow cookies. The best rainbow cookies I’ve ever had. Just like the ones I make. But the cheesecake, oh my god. Insane. No nasty artificial syrup on the fruit. The best tasting cheesecake I ever had. And affordable. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Staff is very friendly, love the coffee!“

“Love the coffee and the pastries the pastries and They' muffins“

“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.“

“All I can say about this place is. Where have you been all my life? I've not once had a bad cookie. Service is always commendable. And just that smell of freshly baked goods as you walk in. It's a reminder that one has to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.“

“Adorable (and delicious) cookies that were individually wrapped and given as favors. Highly recommend“

“Excellent baked goods. Delicious pastry and the CANOLI“

“The prices aren’t the most budget-friendly, but the quality is usually solid.

Tried the new Salted Caramel Pretzel Supreme Croissant today — it was really crispy and had that sweet + salty combo (a little salty, a little sweet).

I also always love the Jumbo Twisted Donut. It’s kind of chewy inside, almost like it has a mochi-like texture, and it’s super satisfying.

Got a latte too and it actually tasted like coffee (in a good way lol). I didn’t add any sugar and it was still smooth and easy to drink. Definitely coming back again!“

“Me encantan desde años mis favoritos“

“Everything was delicious. We hosted a Purim breakfast at our temple and everyone was so happy and full. I personally put in the order myself and everything from ordering to delivery was so smooth. We ordered large quantity of variety of bagels with all types of cream cheeses, salmon salad, white fish and tuna. Plus we got crepes with ricotta cheese which were Devine. And we ordered lots of croissants 🥐 , plain and chocolate which by the way are huge. I can’t say enough how fresh and delicious everything was. Highly highly recommend this place!!“

“Everthing is so fresh and Tasty Everyone is great, friendly and makes everyone feel like family.“

“They make an addictive challah, I nicknamed it the crack-cocaine challah. You need a twelve step program after having that or their incredible pastries once. Five stars is not enough for this bakery, at least 100 stars.“

“I got their strawberry and mango croffle delivered and it was delicious! They weren't too sweet and the cream was really light, which paired well with the croffle itself. I loved the strawberry one as there was strawberry jam and the strawberries themselves were really sweet. The mango one was alright as the mangos were a bit bitter. Overall, a cute dessert spot and I would love to try their other menu items!“
