50 Best Bakeries near Forest Hills

“Just walk in and you’ll be so moved you will have to try some of their pastries. Places like this is what makes me love NYC. Family owned and operated Bakery. It’s all great and it smells absolutely amazing inside. I get the Chocolate Rugelach and the Linzer Cookies. So good, every time I am in the area I spot by cause it’s grandma’s recipes and you can’t beat that.“

“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!!“

“The bagels and coffee are almost always very good. Service is great. When I went recently they weren’t playing any music or had the TV on, a light was flickering, and it was very hot inside with no fan or AC. Hopefully this gets improved as well as the C grade Health Inspection.“

“Great location for a delicious cappuccino, tea and pastries… enjoyed our visit. Thanks, Shawn B. Singh, Financial Professional at Guardian“

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

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

“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.“

“My staff, friends and I have been to this place years ago and that the staff ordered grilled chicken sandwich from this store. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was that there were people watching the tv, helping, out, and many other things.“

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

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

“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😊😊“

“The best strawberry cheesecake and chocolate covered cannolis I have ever had. 100/10, I’ll dream about these items forever lol.“

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

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.“

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

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

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“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. ❤️“

“Stopped by Ceremonia this morning and grabbed their biscuit sandwich (no bacon) for breakfast. It came out in just a few minutes, and the staff was really kind and welcoming. The sandwich itself was epic. It was huge, with a runny sunny-side egg that made it feel dramatic and so satisfying. I was hoping for decaf coffee, but they only had tea, so I skipped the drink this time. Took my sandwich over to McCarren for a little picnic, which was the perfect way to start the morning. I also picked up one of their cookies to share with my husband later I can’t wait to try it.“

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

“I only go to crumbl when the pink sugar cookie is in the lineup. They need to have it more often it’s my absolute favorite cookie“

“Not enough stars for Nick & Sons! Everything they make is incredible, I especially love the zaatar and chocolate croissants and cardamom bun. I know how difficult it is to keep things consistent due to humidity, proof time etc but compared to a lot of the bakeries in the area they do a really good job at not over/under baking. There could be a line most days but it goes fast and everyone’s super nice and friendly“

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

“😋 Levain Bakery – Upper East Side
Okay… I get the hype now. These cookies are NEXT LEVEL! I thought they were just another NYC trend, but no — there’s nothing like them. Crunchy on the outside, warm and gooey inside, with chocolate that literally melts in your mouth.

I tried the dulce de leche with coconut and wow… it was love at first bite. Sweet but not overwhelming, with the perfect chewy texture. It’s huge too — definitely shareable, but honestly, you’ll want it all for yourself.

The vibe is cozy, the staff is fast and friendly, and even with the line, it’s worth every minute. If you’re around Central Park or the Upper East Side, don’t leave without grabbing one. Trust me — once you taste it, you’ll never look at cookies the same way again. 🍪✨“

“Interior/outside terrace: the interior is very functional, very few inside seating options. But it’s not like a comfy café. They do have a small outside seating area, which is nice, nothing special, but if you get a table there, you can enjoy your croissants in the sun.

Food quality/price: good selection of savoury & sweet food, very delicious. I got an earl grey bun & a pistachio croissant. Both very delicious, like out of another world. Loved them. I found their food to be quite expensive.
Suggestion: why not making tiny versions of the different treats (to a smaller price as well of course), so solo-visitors can try more delicious treats?

Service: friendly, functional, nothing outstanding though.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

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

“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.“

“I was surprised to see Salswee label on their boxes but realized it’s the same owner except the Flushing branch has no line! I really enjoyed the Ferrero Rocher cake I got for my mum. It’s not too sweet though my sister wanted more mousse. I really enjoyed it. The service was really fast and the cake looks small but it’s tall.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“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!“

“Ordered recently for my birthday two cookies online which were Chocolate Mallow Cupcake Cookie and the Pink Velvet Cake Cookie which were amazing and delicious. The order was ready when I arrived. The place does get a bit packed but the staff do a great job of crowd control. Oscar was amazing and handed my order and ask if I needed a bag which is great customer service. Highly recommend this place.“

“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 was looking everywhere for a bakery that could do a matcha flavored birthday cake for my boyfriend’s birthday and the team at Les Gateaux de Marie was so amazing and accommodating. Everyone loved the cake and couldn’t stop talking about it, the cake was perfectly sweet, light and airy, and all of the staff were SO KIND. Will be back again and again! Thank you for making his birthday so special!“

“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.“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“The pasties are delicious and I had the green mango and pineapple tea so good! Everything is very fresh! I bought a swirl strawberry bread 🍞 delicious as well! My friend tried the Hong Kong tea and said it was the best she ever had!“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“Is this place an amazing Mexican joint, yes, do I wish I lived in New York so I could forget about this place find it again and have my taste buds blown off their …. Tuckus. Yes yes I do. Worth the stop. Empanadas so so good. Short ribs absolutely. Random menu item sure it’s gonna be amazing. Do it you won’t regret it.“

“My family highly recommends Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop for your exceptional employees and fantastically delicious donuts!! Thank you for your hospitality and for making my granddaughter's birthday donut trip so special!! It was definitely worth the trip!! With Kristen Fulbrook 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“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!“

“Everything is delicious! We love NY Bakery <3“

“best macarons in NYC! ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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 !“
