“I have been going to this bagel shop for like four years now. It is the best bagel shop that I have found within a 6 mile radius. The ladies who work the front are so sweet and have incredible memories.

I am writing this review immediately after I had a peak Hastings Own Bagel experience. I walk into the store, she says: “Bad boy, scallion cream cheese, no toasted, iced coffee 2 sugars, black, large.” Needless to say I was out of there two minutes after entering.

In my probably 500 orders there has only ever been one mistake and it was when they had a new staff member and he confused me and someone else’s orders.

I talk about their bagels to people literally worldwide. They hold up incredibly well frozen and take like 3 days to get properly stale. The crumb is incredible, the crust is great. Literally what more could you ask for from a bagel shop.

Ok now on to the product more specifically and portions. I really think they have it down pat for the cream cheese to bagel ratio, there is never too much or two little, it’s a good serving and I feel like it is perfectly satiating. They have a great selection of bagels and have a pretty good spread variety. I personally go for the bad boy because everything is too far for me. They have a good griddle setup, whenever I get an egg and cheese or a BEC I find myself enjoying it, they could use a little more egg sometimes but I get it, trump’s America.

Anyways, this bagel shop may be my favorite store in the world thank you guys for dominating the Hastings bagel economy.“

“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.“

“I immediately noticed that this is a homemade patty. Not your traditional flaky Jamaican patty with excessive shortening or butter cut into the dough. That being said, for the lack of flake, there is no shortage of flavor. What a delicious bite. The beef and the chicken were both tasty and well seasoned.

I did not stay inside of the store longer than two minutes at most. Extremely efficient customer service.

I ate the patties too quickly and was unable to provide a photo for this review.“

“I love crumbl cookie. I’ve only gone a few times but from what I’ve had is yummy! The pink sugar cookies are good and I love the warm cookies and cream cookies! The only thing, I wish the staff was a little bit more attentive. I wasn’t really greeted with a smile and there was only like one person there. I get that you guys are busy, especially with only one staff member, but it’s not a lot to ask for a smile! Cookies are great, service could be better!“

“Thanks goodness PB is finally here close to home 🤩. Now there are truly great and consistent options in pastries and cakes that are excellent treats and for special occasions while being very accessible in this neighborhood. Looking forward to frequent this shop. Favs are coffee drinks, buns with Asian flare i.e. those with red bean and sweet potato fillings. Everything chocolate is excellent... My bias since I love chocolates😜. The Croissant donut is great. Fruit pastries are excellent too. The savory and cheesy items are also great. And the themed and seasonal items are inventive and cute, definitely worth trying. Cannot go wrong with PB's yummy treats 👍“

“Experience was great!“

“Let me start with I am not one to write reviews however this one is worth the occasion. It was an absolute pleasure working with Wildly Cakes to get a cake for my bridal shower. We had a traveling themed bridal shower and Wildly Cakes was able to make this beautiful world map on the side. But it doesn’t just end there the cake itself tasted delicious. We got a vanilla cake with cookie butter filling and all my guests ranted and raved on how good it was. We actually have our wedding cake being made by them too and we cannot wait to see and taste it especially after this great first impression.“

“The best homemade pasta, mozzarella and ricotta in town. I even worked there, when I was a teenager. Steven continues to run the family business with such dedication to his customers.“

“This is a cute, clean little bakery in Fort Lee NJ. Donuts were really good. Love the different and unique flavors. My favorite was the Boston cream, and the Chantilly cream was good to. Im not a pistachio lover but that was nice. Had a croissant turkey and cheese it was really good. Croissant was light and flaky and the sandwich was fresh. Pricing wasn't to high but you have to pay for quality. Can't wait to go back and try the mango cake and turimisu.“

“Don’t be fooled by the smallness of the place. The breakfast sandwiches are some of the tastiest I’ve ever had. I was looking to order a cake for a birthday, and I was impressed by their photos on Instagram as well as the flavor of the slices they had for sale (one of which I received as a gift). I provided a picture of what I wanted and they did not disappoint! Besides looking beautiful, the cake was moist and flavorful, even days later. Highly recommended!“

“Not only is the staff very friendly, the pastry’s and coffee are delicious! I tried the new pumpkin latte and it’s one of the best lattes I’ve ever had! The manager Aferdita is also such a sweet heart! I’ll be back!“

“The best specialty cookies ever. Jess pays such close attention to detail in her work. The cake pops are beautiful and delicious- best I have ever had and my guests agreed! She is extremely responsive and attentive. Go to Just Desserts by Jess for all of your needs!“

“Paul is an experienced and highly skilled baker. I’ve been going to his shop on Fifth Avenue in Pelham for decades. Whenever I want a sweet or need a cake for a special occasion The Pelham Bakery is the only place that I go to. Today is Father’s Day so a delicious strawberry shortcake is my choice. I can’t wait to enjoy some with my family!“

“Outstanding products and an exceptional company! We ordered the 18-piece brownie and cookie sampler as a corporate gift for the 2025 holiday season, and it was a huge success. The recipients—and our team—were absolutely delighted. The treats were delicious, beautifully presented, and truly memorable.

From our very first point of contact through ordering, delivery, and follow-up, the service exceeded our expectations at every step. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Greyston Bakery for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful, high-quality gift.“

“I came in with a hankering and they accommodate it, I’m not encouraging anyone to go outside the menu they have here cause geez it all sounds and looks so good. I’m definitely going to stick to the menu next time I go, but I’m glad they could fulfill my coffee nostalgia as well. Thank you guys, great job!!“

The cake was not only visually stunning, but the flavors were also a perfect blend. We were particularly impressed with the smooth ordering process, even though we ordered from out of state. The cake was delivered promptly, and the professionalism of Andy Cakes NYC was evident throughout the entire experience.“
