“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.“

“BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER HAD! If you’re ever in NYC, make sure to try Kora’s donuts. These donuts are AMAZING! They are all infused with Filipino flavor and culture. I first heard about them on YouTube when a food channel featured them. These are rich and decadent donuts without being overwhelmingly sweet. They are custom made too and made fresh the day of pick up. Check them out!!“

“I seriously can’t say enough good things about this bakery! The second I walked in, I was already obsessed with how cute and cozy it was. The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful, and honestly, I wanted to move in. 😂 You can tell everyone who works there puts so much love and hard work into everything they make. The cakes are actual works of art—I almost felt guilty cutting into mine… almost. 😅 They looked incredible and somehow tasted even better. The staff was so friendly and welcoming that it felt like they genuinely wanted you there, which is rare these days. If you’re looking for a bakery that’ll make your taste buds happy and your camera roll even happier, this is the place. The chocolate is that damn good! Just be warned… you’ll probably leave with more treats than you planned. (No regrets though!)“

“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 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“Some of the best things i have ever eatten, the ice cream blew my mind. Me and everyone i went with said it wad the best ice cream we ever had, and we dont say that lightly. You can tell everything is made with love. And the service is also amazing. Me and my girlfriend are addicted.“

“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.“

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

Tony recommended the Black Sesame Latte, and it will make you a life long customer.“

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

“This place is cozy and makes for a nice place to go out with friends, dates or even alone! I went in by myself and tried their banh mi, which despite not being like what you would find in a typical Vietnamese spot, was super tasty and I highly recommend it. Use my photo as evidence of how good it is, I ate half of it before I finally took a photo, haha. The bread itself was soft, it tasted fresh, and the filling wasn't overly spicy or bland, it was just right. The baked goods looked tempting and I might have to try them next time.

Service wise, they're great. The staff will let you know how long you'll wait for items and they are good at what they do, both in the front facing customers and in the back prepping.“

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

“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.

“SHAKALAKA Bakery in Flushing is one of the more visually polished modern Chinese bakeries in the area and a reliable stop if you’re looking for cakes, pastries, or grab-and-go sweets that feel a bit more updated compared to traditional bakeries nearby.

The mango-based cakes are the most consistent thing here. They’re light, creamy, and built around fresh fruit rather than overly heavy frosting, which makes them easy to finish even after a full meal. The matcha cake also works well, leaning more milky than bitter, with a soft sponge that holds its structure without feeling dry. The pork floss cakes are one of the more interesting savory-sweet options, and they’re better than expected if you’re used to standard bakery versions since they don’t go overboard on sweetness.

The croissants and egg tarts are solid supporting items rather than the main reason to come. The croissants are flaky with a noticeable butter layer, and the egg tarts are best when eaten warm since the custard tightens up when cold. The purple rice desserts are heavier but work if you want something more filling and texturally different from the fruit cakes.

Service is generally efficient even when the bakery is busy, and the layout is set up for quick selection rather than lingering. Prices sit a bit higher than older-style Flushing bakeries, but the tradeoff is cleaner presentation, more modern flavor combinations, and consistently fresh-looking cakes.“

“We have been going to Nick and Son's since they open their bakery in Spring Lake, NJ. They offer the very best of everything which includes their delicious Croissants , breads, danishes, scones and world class coffee. The bakers and staff are top notch and offer world class service. During the holidays they offer the best pies ever. Don't miss out on the very best bakery in Monmouth County.“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“Sconery has both savory and sweet scones so something for everyone! Amazingly moist and full of flavor—best scones ever!“

“Crepe House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with great quality ingredients. The crepes are amazing, and the service is always friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Omar, who always provides excellent customer service and makes every visit a great experience.“

“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😊😊“

“So cute! The staff are very friendly and helpful. My vanilla almond milk latte was chef's kiss. Also tried the oxtail crossaint and the crossaint cruffin were both tasty. The lemon curd inside of the cruffin had the right amount of tartness. Paired well with the fluffy meringue. Will return!“

“My friend picked up an assortment of treats for my birthday, everything was so delicious✨Red velvet cupcake and The pistachio thingy were my favorites❣️Have to go soon & try more treats🥰“

“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.“

“Thank you so much for the welcoming post card & nice shopping bag in my first order.
Everything is gorgeous & delicious.
I even grabbed the plumcot out of the box and ate it before I hiked up to the top floor in my NYC walk-up:)“

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.“

“Are you going to reopen in LIC“

“This bakery offers anything and everything you can think of. Tons of cookies, cakes, sweet treats, and coffees. The coffees had the longest wait. I wanted a double cappucino, thinking it was a double shot of espresso, but it was actually double the amount, so it was a huge portion!

I enjoyed a guava pastry which was yummy!

There's seating in the back and free wifi, although no bathroom for customers.“

“This has to be the best Burek in town.“

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

“The food and the place itself is absolutely amazing as well as the employees“

“What a lovely surprise ! I knew the staff as they were formerly working at the iconic Yaya’s Bakery, a staple family business in 31 st that closed down after many years of business. Malú offers unique pastries, such as the Dubai chocolate cheesecake that is to die for, I ordered their olive bread as I used to do when Yaya was open. Their berry napoleons are the best, the spanakopita and the leek pies are very fresh and tasty, I also ordered them. In summary, a unique business in terms of quality, variety, cleanliness and the warmth of their staff. I highly recommend Malú and the only regret I have is that they are not closer to me as they used to be, but worth the walk !“

“ottimo accogliente davvero speciale. consigliatissimo!“

“Just had THE BEST breakfast, from the coffee down to the quiche and pastries! Even the salad with their homemade dressing was an experience. So glad we made the trip and will recommend to all!“

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

“Thank you Delightful Bakery for a beautiful cake for my mother's birthday. It was both beautiful and delicious! Will definitely purchase from again!“

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.“
