“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.“

“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😊😊“

“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 !!“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“The cookies I had were great. loved the red velvet cookie. I have to taste sweet potato cheesecake asap.“

“All of their baked goods are absolutely incredible and never disappoint. I personally think their whips are overpriced for what they are, but I their baked goods are 100% worth it. Huge portions and always super fresh. I love sitting inside when it's not very busy.“

“Small café, but very bright, clean, and airy. There was was a small loveseat, a couple barstools, one or two cafe tables with 2 seats, a bench with a cushion and 3 café tables out on the sidewalk. Came in about 1:30pm, and were greeted warmly. Almost all of the pastries were gone, but the cheese with fig danish and the plain croissant they had left were good. We also tried the matcha lemonade, strawberry matcha and a hot black sesame latte. I liked the sesame latte A LOT, the strawberry was good, and I personally hated the lemonade, but that is a personal preference thing. The good thing about it is it isn't too sweet, but it was heavy on the matcha, so it tasted like liquid grass to me. I definitely like nuttier sencha tea better. The prices were average for the area, and since everything is pricey now, it is what it is.

There were other patrons there, busily working and looked like they had been there for quite a while, which tells me it may be a good place to sit and focus for an hour or two.

My party of three sat outside and because it is located in a predominantly residential area, it was a nice place to sit since there aren't tons of pedestrians. There were a few bees/wasps though, so we had to leave after a bit(highly allergic). There were also mosquitos and lantern bugs around--I suspect there is some standing water on a roof nearby.

I will definitely walk over here again to get that sesame latte, and maybe stay and pretend looking productive. But I'll definitely come back.“

“On first glance, I already fell in love with this pastry shop. It’s a DREAM. I tried their mini chocolate raspberry cake & guava puff pastry and let me tell you they’re a 10/10. It tastes very classic and nostalgic. Will def be back“

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.“

“Stopped here for a quick coffee waiting for the train and what a delight!
The ube cheesecake was delicious and rich and not overly sweet which was great. The cashier and baker were incredibly kind and sweet.
Decor inside was super cute! Definitely worth a stop. Everything is made fresh every day!“

“This bakery is such a gem! Service was quick, and there’s plenty to choose from. The staff was friendly, and the space itself is beautifully decorated with super organized books you can sit and read while enjoying your treats. They also offer coffee, tea, and other drinks, which makes it a perfect spot to relax. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s absolutely worth the visit. I came all the way from the Bronx with my family, and we tried the ham & cheese croissant, focaccia, and raspberry pistachio croissant. everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I can’t wait to come back!“

“I had the bacon egg and cheese a week ago…every single day since, I’ve wanted another! Best one I’ve ever had in NYC and now no other BEC compares! Sad I live too far to go daily or I absolutely would :-) coffee was great too 10/10 all around ☀️“

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

“I placed an order late Saturday night and waited an hour but Door Dash canceled the order and my sweets never arrived. I tried again Sunday morning and I was delighted to receive what I ordered in addition to some extra treats for the trouble from the previous night. So very much appreciated. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.“

“I love Zeppieri's Bakery. The lobster tails are the best and they make seasonal cupcakes and cookies that are out of this world. The bread is the absolute best!!!! The ladies at the counter are kind, even when super busy, polite and knowledgable always cheerful and sweet. I adore this neighborhood gem!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I live out of state, but when I visit my friends, I always find a huge joy coming here. The coffee is great, and the suggestions given by the owner herself are divine. It's always a 10/10! I will always recommend coming here and supporting a small business, especially one that makes you feel at home!“

“Experience was great!“

“I went las Friday and I got a Salmon burger and a delicious raspberry cheesecake…. Delicious!!!!
Salmon was extremely good and desert OMG
I will order I pie for Thanksgiving!
If you go talk to the owner, he is so nice!!!“

“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!“

“The pastry is mouthwatering! Everything is visually appealing and very tasty. authentic French pastry.“
