“What a nice little snack shop hidden on 164th street between the 7-11 and pizza place. Recommended for kids. Got some super sweet strawberry bubble tea. And cake. And a macaroon. They also have some real food snack options like French fries and chicken bites. Didn’t try the stuffed animal vending machines this time.Kid-friendliness: Stuffed animals on the wall for the kiddies to look at. And sweet dessert foods.“

“We had ordered a baby shower cake. The base was a Jaffa cake with butter cream frosting. The cake was fantastic in the way it looked and the taste. The service was excellent. Ms. Marie is a talented artist. Would highly recommend this place!“
“Goodies here are delicious. They can be just cause or a special occasion. I ordered macrons for my wedding that were amazing, they were fresh n super flavorful all guest loved them. I will continue to order and definitely refer Sweet LIL Sweets to all friends and family. Also good to know they were gluten free for my grand daughter.“

“A cute and cozy cafe that makes the best croissants and matcha lates.This place is beautifully decorated, great customer service and their cookies and cupcakes are pieces of art.The building address is on Irving Ave but the entrance is by Jefferson Ave. ?I highly recomend it!P.S.: I would like to see a bigger sign that stand up and make the business a little more visible for public. ?“
“Can’t sing their praises high enough, the man and woman who work behind the counter here every day always know your order, greet you with a friendly good morning and treat everyone with respect. They work hard and obviously care about their customers. I even started learning some Albanian words and phrases to show the care and respect is mutual. Great coffee at good prices, good pastry and love the organic environmentally friendly soaps and other products too. They are a huge plus for the neighborhood.“
“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!!!)“
“Loved the cake made for my husbands 50th birthday party. I got a two tier cake and two dozen cupcakes. Wonderful customer service and reliable delivery. I was in awe at the ease of how ordering went. I was most impressed that I was able to communicate with a person rather than filling out a form online. I will def order again when I need a cake. All the cupcakes got swooped up so fast I didnt even get a chance to have any.“
“I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this cake and service!!! I I requested a hulk theme cake, which required a little bit of that artistic touch but I also really wanted a cake that was equally as yummy! Tee did both and she did it PERFECTLY. The birthday boy was incredibly happy and so am I :)“
“This is the top of the ice cream world in Hamilton Heights! Slow churned treats include several dairy and non dairy flavors (on a rotating basis), with just enough flavors to keep your taste buds wanting more. Never have we been disappointed. The staff are always friendly, and there is usually more than enough, even in the smallest sizes, to please your desires. If you have a big appetite (or a hungry partner), the cookie sandwich with freshly baked cookies and a massive helping of ice cream, is a favored order.“
“Wow, this place was incredible. They serve incredible French press coffee and have a large selection of expertly prepared Filipino desserts. We got a mango souffle, mango creme brulee, and the ube tiramisu. Each was so delicious and the textures were so smooth. They also serve hot food but we didn't order any.I highly recommend this place for cheap delicious treats.“
“This cake was beyond beautiful! It exceeded my expectations ?? The service for ordering was so easy and simple. Oh and by the way it was deliciously made as well. My daughter had specifically requested this cake for her 16th bday and she was extremely happy when she saw it. Thank you Blue Royale Cakes for making my daughter’s cake one of the best yet!“
“Everything was perfect! Presentation, taste! Delivery! Service because I definitely had a million ideas flowing! She got the idea and ran with it! I DEFINITELY will be a retuning client and will definitely refer her! ❤️ We had a Minnie’s Bowtique theme party it was on point!“
“I couldn't be happier with the staff at this location. They were extremely nice and accommodating. We needed a custom cake last minute and the staff was able to get us a cake just in time on short notice. It came out perfect! I highly recommend this location, the staff and service is amazing.“
“Place is new. We checked it out. Clean place. Excited to have a new gelato place in the neighborhood. I had the Ferraro rocher and it was delicious. My husband had the coffee and lemon flavor and we both ate it all. I'll definitely go again.“
“Oh my goodness!!! I won’t say I’m a cake snob (some might say that, but I won’t)…I just hate blah cakes. The strawberry shortcake that I had for my birthday was ev-a-ree-thang!!! Gotta tell you I was beyond hesitant to spend that much money on a cake, but I figured, “What the heck? It’s once a year and I’m more than worth it.” I’m so glad I did (actually, my mother did as a gift to me). Every crumb was worth every penny!!! The cake was.moist, fresh and flavorful!! Every strawberry was fresh and flavorful as well. Tanika delivered on the day and time as promised. It was a completely wonderful experience!!! Thank you, Tanika (and Anthony for helping my mom home with the cake) for lending to the “happy” in my very happy birthday!!“
“I came across this bakery last minute and omg !! I absolutely fell in love with the decor when I went to pick up my cake. They were super sweet and professional. I absolutely loved how my cake turned out. I highly recommend. Definitely ordering from them again.“
“It has been four weeks since our wedding and my mom is STILL talking about the cake. She stole three extra slices from the venue and had cake for breakfast three days in a row. I think she’ll be talking about this cake for the rest of my life. She might drive me crazy but…she’s right. The cake Luckybird made for our wedding was the best cake I’ve ever had. That’s not an exaggeration. It really was next level. We ordered a fully frosted chocolate cake with seasonal berries and crème fraiche, and it was simply divine. Sweet but not too sweet, decadent but still light, and totally addicting. I cannot tell you how many people have reached out to me specifically to compliment the cake!Besides her incredible skills as a baker, Amy is also a lovely person to work with. Throughout the entire process, she was friendly, communicative, and kind. She was quick to answer my questions and super professional. If we ever throw another special event and need a cake, I will 100% reach out to Luckybird! In fact, I’m really trying to find a reason to order a second wedding cake, just for myself THANK YOU SO MUCH!!“
“Nikki's cakes, cookies, decor everything is all so amazing. We got our wedding cake from her in addition to various celebration cakes past couple of years and could not recommend her enough. Her flavors are so unique and tasty - everyone complimented us on our cake at the wedding!“
“One of the best places for cakes and muffins. We were big fan of this place since a long time and glad to come to this new store. The cakes are full of buttercream and just the right amount of sweetness.The ingredients are Halal, so quite a relief for the Muslims to eat the Mousse. Also, appreciate the blend of flavors available.I didn't like the slice of brownie as I found it very dry inside.“
“Sweet (no pun intended) little bakery in Kew Gardens. The shop is not big and the selection is not huge but what they have is very good. I took home two Guava Puffs which were very good. The Crust was sweet and grumbly and it was bursting with Guava. I also took home something I had never tried or seen elsewhere. It's called French Nut. This one was filled with Apricot. Mom and I split it and it was enough to fill us up due to its richness. It was ?. The prices are very reasonable. The lady working there was very helpful and pleasant.“
“I have nut allergies and am so so happy to have Baked Cravings!! The grab and go cake was perfect!! I waited too long to place a custom order and needed something that day. I added the option of birthday candles and then bought some strawberries to decorate it a bit. The flavor was rich but not too sweet. I think I actually prefer the taste of the cake not being completely iced and decorated!! It was a big hit with the party too. $60 for the cake and was able to get about 16 slices/servings from it. I will definitely be making the trip up from Brooklyn again in the future :)Dietary restrictions: Perfect for nut allergies!!“
“Food, pastries, empanadas and desserts here are all made in-house and they’re all delicious. You can tell their staff is super talented and they put a lot of love into their products. Their iced coffees are always on point and they do a great job of keeping their (albeit small) space clean and hospitable. The girls who I’ve interfaced with here are also really sweet. I’ve been coming here now for about 2+ years and have no idea why I haven’t written a review until now. I’m a fan of this neighborhood gem.“
“I absolutely adore this cute neighborhood bakery which interprets and delivers Asian pattiserie flavors so well in a modern and elegant way. The owner is very sweet and kind. They even make off the menu birthday cakes for dogs! A hidden gem in the neighborhood.“
“Food: I had several items from them this week. 2 cupcakes 1 boozy red velvet and 1 strawberry crunch. Both were delicious but small. The next item was a coconut pineapple donut. The flavor reminded me of my grandmother's family famous coconut pineapple cake. It was delicious! The final item was a walnut brownie, my coworker ate this and said that it was delicious.“
“There Should Always be Cake store has exceeded my expectations in craftsmanship, flavor, and service. The attention to detail in their cake creation was truly exceptional, and the flavors were a delightful surprise. The service provided was not only professional but also added a personal touch to my experience. I highly recommend this cake store for anyone seeking a memorable and delicious treat.“
“I ordered 2 cakes and a dozen cupcakes for my son's 1st birthday. Sisters Confections was easy to work with and quick to respond to all my inquiries. The baked goods were not only delicious, but beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. I would definitely use them again for my next event.“
“I have ordered cakes from Plaza Piaxtla before and there has never been a time when I could say I was disappointed and for my 40 th bday it was no different. I showed them what I was looking for and they truly captured my vision! It was a beetlejuice theme and they did an amazing job. Not to mention the taste was phenomenal. My guests all raved about how good it was! Thank you so much !“
“I really like this store. It’s clean, tidy, and has a wide variety. They often have some different creative ideas. I can buy different styles every time I go there. Whenever I pass by, I will go into this store to take a look, and every employee is very friendly. Very friendly and patient. My daughter didn't know what to eat. She took her time and didn't rush us. She also very friendly recommended every flavor to the children. The happiest thing today was buying Easter bunnies, four in a box, very cute. It’s so cute that my daughter can’t bear to eat it. The owner of this store is really attentive to his business. I will recommend this store to my friends. It’s worth coming?“
“This is going to by my weekly bubble tea spot. They were so friendly which is always a driving factor for a quality establishment for me. Price point was great. We only got teas today, but I can't wait to try some of their pastries. They looked beautiful and based on other people's reviews they're probably delicious. We got the brown sugar bubble milk tea and Passion fruit green tea with lychee popping boba and just look at that adorable little heart shaped tea stopper. I will be a frequent flyer here“
“Love this place ! Wish I knew about this place sooner honestly. The communication is 10/10 and the cakes were sooooo good, so soft and moist ! I'm a vegan and been a vegan my whole life and my family is really used to buying cakes from the same places and the cakes are never fancy looking, no designs nothing really with character, also sometimes very dry or hard or just straight up bland ! But this place omg !! Great all around love how they have different designs for vegan cakes and not just 1 ! I feel so inclusive for once by having a nice looking cake for my birthday & the pricing wasn't bad at all !!! I got a vintage pink heart cake for my birthday on January 19th and my lil sisters birthday was on the 23rd so we also got her a cake but it was a Valentine's Day cake turned into a birthday cake ! And my family loved both cakes !! Thank you for making our birthdays extra special this year !Vegetarian options: The website has all the vegan options !“
“I wanna just say it’s been a pleasure meeting the owner Gina who’s done nothing but give top tier service to my friends and I. I love love the chocolate chips and her pistachio melts away. OMG! Delicious! She has vegan cheesecake for my mother which is a plus!!“
“They have a very generous portion of what we ordered of eggs and potatoes. Sometimes the place is packed. The area is quite small. Take out is better. And if it's not peak hours, dining in is okay too. Peak hours, don't expect to get a seat. Bagels and coffee are good.Vegetarian options: They have a good selection for bagels and they serve toast and eggs and some vegetables.Parking: Not a lot but people come and go and there's a good chance to get a spot.“

“Claire was incredible through every step of the process! We've ordered several times for our corporate gifting and she went above and beyond to make sure each order was made with high quality and delivered timely and safely with beautiful packaging and hand-written notes. Her cupcake bouquets are stunning and delicious and sure to make a lasting impression. Looking forward to ordering again and again. Thank you for making our special occasions so memorable!!!“
“Allison baked and decorated the most beautiful birthday Cake for my daughters underwater / mermaid themed birthday party. This was a pull apart cupcake with yummy delicious flavors and just as tasty as it was beautiful. In my heart I didn't want anyone to eat it - it was so beautiful lol. The cupcakes had various flavors- they give you many options. Check them out. This will forever be my go to place for delicious cakes and desserts.“
“I can't give Sans Bakery enough compliments! Their service and care about items shipped is better than anyone I have dealt with past present and probably future.My sister wanted to order a Lamington cakes for my birthday. Brian made sure I was shipped what my sister had ordered; the six individual cakes that are wrapped(I thought it was the cake). However, UPS in their divine wisdom, deemed it necessary to ship them on a scenic tour. They didn't arrive on time for my birthday but that was NO FAULT of the bakery's. I want that to be perfectly clear. I reached out to Brian and while I was disappointed that I wouldn't get them on time he was so kind and empathetic that I couldn't stay upset for long. Again, I thought it was the regular cake and not the individual ones. Brian said he would ship replacements but once I saw they were the individual ones and confirmed they were still fine to eat, I was happy, my sister was happy, all was well. But Brian wasn't having it, he was unhappy that UPS failed us both. Imagine my surprise when a few days later I received another box of the Lamington cakes! I was not expecting that. I was perfectly fine with the outcome but Brian again is an amazing person and he didn't appreciate that this was a representation of his bakery by UPS's failings. So now I have plenty of Lamington cakes and they are freezable so I put a few away so I can enjoy them later.As far as being true Lamington cake like the original in Australia, it took me right back to Adelaide where I had my very first one! Oh my goodness they're so good! And did I mention they're gluten-free?!I cannot thank Brian and Sans Bakery enough for making my Unbirthday amazing and tickling my palette enough that I sent pictures to my cousin in Melbourne Australia taunting her a little. She can pick them up at the Woolworth. ;-)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“For my daughter's sweet 16, she insisted on a specific cake in a specific color and size. NYC Birthday Cakes made her dream come true! The order process was extremely easy and I was able to provide a swatch so that they could match the color as best as possible. (color matching fondant is not easy - I've made cakes myself but didn't have the time now) We only had 40 people and 4 layers (6:, 8", 10" & 12") would have been too much cake. So, they made the top layer and bottom layer with a cake form instead of cake. The two middle layers were red velvet with cream cheese frosting and the vanilla with chocolate mousse. They were absolutely delicious!! The cake was delivered to the venue on time and as promised. These are truly professionals and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a special cake! (FYI - we bought the topper on our own)“
“What a great addition to the five towns and surrounding areas. The bakery is nut free and has such a large selection of classic bakery and more interesting baked goods. The owners work tirelessly to ensure your needs are met and the products are fresh and delicious. I've been shopping by them for years and have always found the products to be wonderful and easy to work with when ordering or arranging pickups when I'm out of town. Keep up the great work and if you haven't made a trip yet I would highly recommend them from a coffee and Danish to a birthday cake.“
“Cakes by Nerwan saved my sister's birthday! My little sister is in a residency program and does not get much time off to visit family back home. She called me feeling a bit homesick and told me she was sad that no one had thought to get her a birthday cake. Cakes by Nerwan to the rescue! Not only did Nerwan personally help me order a dozen delicious cupcakes to surprise her, they hand wrote a note from me to include in the delivery. They even threw in some extra goodies as a little gift from them. And they got it all ready and delivered just in time for her birthday suprise to be waiting for her when she got home from work that same day. Incredible customer service and delicious cupcakes! This bakery helped me be there for my sister when I couldn't be there in person. Thank you, Cakes by Nerwan!“
“So excited there’s a carvel in college point!! The staff are super friendly and accommodating,the store is absolutely spotless and you can just tell the store is managed and worked with pride. The weekly specials are also awesome and there’s coupons as well in the ValPak monthly mailer. I highly recommend going here, College Point Carvel will definitely be here for a long time“
“WOW … This bakery is AMAZING! 5 stars PLUS …They are breads are so delicious. I buy their sourdough bread, weekly, and the pumpernickel, honestly, the best I’ve had.Their cakes are always beautifully decorated. I highly recommend the vanilla pineapple … it’s one of my favorites. And if you don’t want a whole cake, they sell slices as well. Their cookies are always very fresh!!!! The pastries and the croissants melt in your mouth.The only bad part about all of this is that I live very close to the bakery so I can’t help myself and I’ve gained a few pounds.But ……ITS WORTH IT !!!“
“Wanted to order a birthday cake for my partner. They were very helpful in clarifying what sizes make sense for how many people, and the cake itself was one of the best I've ever had! Very friendly and accommodating, and negotiating pick-up time was not a problem. Cake was prepared on time and overall a 10/10 experience - I believe it was the salted caramel crunch cake, and I'm not even a fan of caramel ? will go back again next time I need a cake! I've been a few times for their bubble tea and it is also on the money ??????“
“After tasting a few zeppoles on that main street, they have hands down the best ones. Don't rush to try the other popular bakery that I won't name down the street, try this one instead. The other is too commercialized, and this one kept to its italian roots. Great coffee too. And I knew it was good when there were two nonnas having an espresso at a table, chit chatting.“
“I can not recommend one thing in particular!! Everything is amazingly delicious, even tastier and fresher that I found in Romania’ cofetarii ! Visited past weekend from DC and had a hard time deciding over what to buy. Got almost one of most of them and now I wish I bought more. For me, the best bakery in US!“
“My mom put me on to this place. It's in the neighborhood. Today I brought bae for a breakfast sandwhich even though it was already afternoon. Hey, breakfast is ok anytime of the day. I like this neighborhood spot. Definately a good place for a bacon egg and cheese, salt pepper and ketchup on a roll. Bae got an egg and cheese butter and mayo. As she likes itI like when bae orders what she wants. They got everything here. Get some pastries too. To go too. Liek theybsat "Anything else?" "Algo mass?"They have a big selection of Latin origin food and treats. Head over there for some empanadas. Lotz of variety all fresh“
