50 Best Bakeries near Forest Hills

“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.“

“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!!“

“Went today for the first time. Asked for an everything bagel with Scallion cream cheese, lox, capers, onions, tomato, and bacon; the whole works. The lovely lady who helped us chopped everything so we got everything in one bite! The place had a great vibe, super sweet and helpful people, 10 out of 10 will be back again.“

“This place is so good the new bakery can do better“

“Service at the tables were great plus we order all our items to go ,everyone love everything. I can’t wait to go back .“

“The people that work here at nice, and the coffee is good. I think there are definitely things about this cafe that could use improving though. First of all, the seats as well as the tables are WAY too small and this is coming from someone 5’1”. This isn’t very inclusive at all for people who maybe taller or in a larger body. They’re uncomfortable as well. Secondly, there’s no bathroom. I understand New York State says only places with 19 chairs and up need a bathroom but it’s inconvenient when they serve both food and drink to not have a bathroom. Thirdly, the prices are astronomical and although the coffee is good and food is ok, i don’t understand the high price point. Lastly, some of the baristas may need more training because they have served me a cortado in a macchiato cup TWICE. a cortado is 4 oz.
All in all, this place has potential but doesn’t hit the mark. To the owner:: research what successful coffee shops in Brooklyn are doing. Bathroom, inclusive environment, free water, and competitive pricing.“

“I was shock to see such a low rating for this place. I got a blt with 2 eggs as well as an ice coffee for $13.61. Which is not bad. I’m very picky with my ice coffee but this place made it to my liking . The best part is that they have sitting area and it’s clean. Food taste and customer service was great . They gave me a good amount of bacon . I’ll definitely recommend to try it and I really hope the rating goes up cause they do deserve it .“

“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“I love visiting Veniero’s EVERY TIME I am in the city! Amazingly delicious! 😋“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“Stopped there recently while visiting my daughter. Best Cafe Mocha I’ve ever had! Delicious croissants as well!“

“Best focaccia I’ve had…ever? Stopped in at around 12:30 on a Wednesday - no line and they had plenty of sandwich picks available (but were out of most early morning croissants and pastries). The burrata and prosciutto was delicious. Get anything on their focaccia and you can’t go wrong!“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“First, I saw this shop online and was taken aback by the prices and the lines, but it was 100% worth the hype. The cookies are crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, full of deep rich chocolate, and as big as a person's hand. I recommend the two chip cookies and the peanut butter dark chocolate cookie. Their lemon bread and chocolate brioche are sold out frequently, so if you have a chance, absolutely purchase them.

Dietary restrictions: Would ask about allergies to nuts and certain ingredients such as flour.“

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue“

“Best little pastry shop!! Very friendly and EVERYTHING we tried was amazing, especially the cannolis!! Wish I could bring you back to Texas. Thank you for the hospitality“

“Excellent donuts yummy. Best donuts I ever tasted!!“

“We were visiting from Chicago and they were so friendly. The mithai was very fresh! The best I’ve had in the US in fact. We brought home some boxes of mixed mithai for our family and they loved it too.“

“Just had a delicious meal here and highly recommend it to everyone! our server, Maria was amazing and guided us in our menu choices.“

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“Too many variant of croissaints lol. This is the first time I've seen a bakery with so many different types of croissaints. The breads were mediocre. The cake is much better. Definitely a 4 star for cakes. If this bakery had more variety and tasted more original, I would've given it a higher rating. Quite expensive for bakery breads that's similar to Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours. Cashiers speak English; service was fine. 5 stars for decor and company name!“

“So amazing and dont discouraged with the line“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“Shoutout to the Rittenhouse location. We are at Chop with our 4 year old son who just had surgery. I figured after the day we had let’s have some cookies. I placed an order from Levain on door dash. My wife after the long day she had put in the wrong address on the door dash order and the driver called screaming at me and wouldn’t come 1.3 miles to bring them even after explaining the circumstances. Door dash refunded my whole order without me even asking and I called Levain and they went above and beyond. They gave us cookies on the house and even threw in an extra chocolate chip and delivered them to CHOP. Not only are the cookies fabulous the hospitality is second to none. I am a lifelong customer to this location and want to thank everyone at the Rittenhouse location especially Mat who went above and beyond. Thanks again!“

“A place to treat our little ones.
We ordered a pack of 6 cookies to bring to Spain with no expectations that they would arrive whole in the suitcase and surprisingly they arrived perfect 😃 (later I realized that they could be carried in your hand to take them on the plane as a personal item) 😉
They gave them to us warm and newly decorated.
Just don't expect much sympathy from the employees 🙄“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“I work for a law firm in CA and we have an employee who works remotely in NY.. For our employee's birthday I wanted to choose a bakery close to her home and who was local. Stumbled upon Buttercup Bake Shop and they were so awesome! Totally worked with me and delivered the cupcakes with NO hassle. Needless to say our NY employee was super happy and LOVED the flavors and decorations of the cupcakes. ❤️“

“It’s small but it’s very nice and clean. It was my 1st time there and the young man at the counter took his time and suggested many options. He was very patient. This was about two weeks ago almost. Today I came back but he wasn’t there, a young lady was and she was very sweet. Great desserts and customer service. Highly recommend!“

“Quiet around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. If their Ube Cheesecake is the only thing they ever sell, it alone is worth the trip - the only reason this place needs to exist. Would hate to oversell it but it's either this or a cigarette, after sex. There, I've oversold it.“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“Mojo, the best Belgian mousse in New York! Very nice atmosphere over there!“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

““I had the opportunity to visit this headquarters and it was very pleasant to be there.
I definitely recommend Delicias Caleñas de la Roosevelt to anyone looking for a culinary experience of Colombian cuisine, I appreciate the good attention that Catherine gives me. I will definitely be back soon!”“

“A $ for egg custard & is good 👍“

“love this place! the people are very nice and friendly“

“I was looking for something for breakfast, notice it was next to my hotel, figured I would try it out.

Foods good, but EXPENSIVE! I forgot how expensive things can be in Manhattan

Loved the vibe of the place, but I felt rushed to order. Went for the experience, food is amazing no doubt-prices are just too pricey for me. Think I’ll stick with local coffee shops back home.“

“Amazingly delicious treats! We loved the cloud cake and earl grey puff! It’s to die for! The teas we bought were amazing too! I only have one request, please open up a store in Chicago so I can enjoy your amazing treats more regularly!“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“Amazing baked goods that are not the same played out options you find at most bakeries.“

“This small, family-owned bakery is truly something special. With the amount of customers they serve daily, I honestly have no idea how they pull it off—but they do, and they do it amazingly well! Their recent viral fame is so well-deserved, even though a selfish part of me wishes I could keep this gem to myself. Their pastries are always fresh and literal perfection. Chefs kiss*

They are absolutely worth the wait. But if you’re the kind of person who can’t handle waiting or doesn’t know how to be patient, do everyone a favor and don’t come. This is a family-owned business, not a fast-food chain. Let the pros who appreciate quality enjoy it in peace. ❤️“

“The place is really pretty and quiet if you even wanna hang out or work a little bit here.
People were super nice and you have plenty of sweet choices

Vegetarian options: Not their focus, but good options

Dietary restrictions: They have everything properly labeled

Parking: You have to park in the main street

Kid-friendliness: Kids can go but it's not the kind of place for them

Wheelchair accessibility: Kinda easy to access with wheelchair“

“I stopped by here on a whim and in search for some coffee and the customer service was superb in the short time I was in there! I was immediately greeted. The attendee accidentally messed up my order but she gave me a discount for the error and some mini cupcakes on the house! I ordered the plátano maduro muffin and was super impressed! Really yummy! Would definitely come back!“

“They are so good!! I would recommend them! I like the fact they change flavors every week !! So we can try new flavors“

“Got the popular pistachio raspberry cake slice and the mango passion fruit mousse cake. They were both great. The cake slice looks slim but is quite filling. The mango passionfruit mousse had a coconut base which was a little too sweet but the tanginess from the mousse balanced it well. Overall, it’s a decent spot to go to for those sweet cravings.“

“The very best bread ever. I Love it💋“

“While vacationing in NYC we wanted to try a few shops specializing in French pastries. Petit Chou won hands down! The chocolate and salted caramel éclairs were amazing! We also tried the cinnamon rolls, croissants, blueberry cheesecake and strawberry rolls. I can't pick a favorite - everything was outstanding! We are looking forward to the next visit in November! Highly recommended. ❤️“
