50 Best Bakeries near Hollis

“Such a friendly and beautiful team of women behind the counter. Alexis and her team are a good staple in our community, they remember names, they remember orders & if there’s ever a mistake they are quick to remedy it. Once, our order got switched with someone else’s and the next day, their team surprised me with our usual order on the house due to it. It was truly not expected and kindly appreciated. It is nice moving back to Queens from Brooklyn, and see them in action. We love our bagels and they can make a mean breakfast sandwich to boot! They have my business and hopefully they can carry some nice flavored vegan cream cheese options for my non dairy needs :)“

“Wanted to experience a real Haitian bakery. The atmosphere is homey and quaint. The service was on point and quick. The food was amazing order consisted of Haitian patties variety (spinach, beef, fish, chicken), call the champagne and Haitian cookies (the cookies were OK). Would definitely recommend if you want a quick bite to eat.“

“This location has been excellent since my first time arriving here I came from Georgia to visit my mother and she sent me here to get some ice cream and from the first time I met the wonderful staff at this establishment I can't stop coming back! Although I only spent six weeks in New York it was worth my time I came to this location so much in the last 6 weeks I know I must have put on at least 20 extra pounds and it's not the ice cream that I love it's the staff here Samantha is amazing she really knows customer service she really knows how to be hospitable the ice cream is good but it's the people that made it even better. The other extraordinary woman here is a woman by the name of Diana I believe it was. She works in the cinnabon area and you can see her heart and her love in the way that she treats the customers I was sitting there eating ice cream one day and I watched how she just went above and beyond making the customer feel welcomed in this establishment. They have come to know me because I come here buying ice cream for my mother all the time and they even remember and they always ask about her it's beyond just a store it's almost like coming to see friends. Make it your business to stop at this location it is very much worth it the music is always excellent here it always has a great atmosphere.
This store should be a model to all the other Carvel locations out there on how you should treat your customers please utilize the staff to train other locations it will be well worth the time all of the people that are here are leaders and teammates and I've come to really like them and love them.“

“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 could never complain about the food and quality. It’s insane. Really really good food. But the talking at the register, the slow line, the incredibly long wait for a sandwich is wacky. No matter if it’s clientele or personnel causing the hold up, you shouldn’t have folks waiting an hour for a sandwich.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Incredible & creative food/drinks. You can tell the entire team puts so much intentional effort and love into everything they do. They also are an integral part of the community. I've never experienced anything other than kindness, quality food, a beautiful space, and always leave feeling creatively inspired. 💙“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“Crepe House is truly a sweet tooth heaven! Everything I tried was delicious, especially the S’mores crepe, banana milkshake, and tres leches cake topped with Oreo, biscotti, and Dubai pistachio. So many options, great portions, and affordable prices. Definitely recommend checking them out!“

“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!“

“Great experience with prompt response and delivery to the medical team! You made nurses of Mount Sinai Hospital very happy! Thanks much! Alla Levin“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“A classic NYC establishment with gluten-free options! Chef Cristina answered all of our questions about their protocols for gluten-free pastries. They keep them on the top shelf and/or separate from the other pastries and they are made at different times with sanitized equipment. Of course it is a shared kitchen, so keep that in mind in terms of cross contact. Everything we tried was delicious! My favorites that day were the espresso cheesecake, the red velvet cheesecake cup and the flourless chocolate cake. We will absolutely be back!“

“their mini's are just so good. good enuff that you don't even miss the crust.“

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

“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 !“

“This place is wonderful that I stumbled upon it a couple months ago and I have been coming back weekly ever since. I have yet to have a drink I didn’t like here and the same goes for their desserts.

The cinnamon rolls? So sweet and indulgent, they come in packs of two so it’s perfect for those who wanna share an order.

The croissants? Buttery, flaky, everything you want in a croissant is how they make it here. Plus they have different fillings if you don’t want a plain croissant.

The desserts? They are RICH. I can buy one and have it in the fridge for two or three days, all you need is a spoon or two and you’re good to go. Even buying one of the bite sized ones instead is what I tend to do sometimes because all you need is one bite and you’re good. Plus the bite sizes have the different flavors as well, they did some cereal flavors recently and it was AMAZING!

Also the staff are so nice and polite. I have a mom with diabetes who comes here and they constantly warn her if something is too sweet and have her taste her drinks to see what they can add for her. They remember the little things and that makes it easier to converse with them.“

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

“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!“

“I found this bakery from a neighbor who recommended their specialty Dominican cakes. I ordered for the first time via their web form and promptly received a quote, sent in some edits and very easily placed my order. I appreciate that during the production of the cake there was a question and the shop sent me a chat through the site and I was able to quickly get a response. When I picked up, I was so impressed by the shop! They have beautiful cakes ready for pick up, cake slices and desserts that look like art not food! For my party, the cake was gorgeous and so delicious-the chocolate with chocolate mousse was a hit. I will definitely be back for orders and to enjoy a slice of cake and coffee.“

“I'll keep on coming back her, the experience is the great and the service is excellent. I recently tried the macarons and I can't not believe how good they were, I haven't tried something this good before. Kiara and Joselin are the kindest people I have ever met they were very helpful when ever I needed any help. I definitely recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Always such a sweet time to visit this bakery! Their open space allows you to see behind the scenes to their made-with-love goods. Staff is so friendly too! I recommend the ube cheescake and any savory goods they may have that day- I miss their sandwiches“

“Beautiful homemade cake and very delicious! I ordered for Mother’s Day after seeing good Google reviews, and they did not disappoint. The cake looked amazing, tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. They even sent me a picture before pickup. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“I simply LOVE it!!!“

“Excellent little Cafe tucked away on a side street in Brooklyn. Run by two delightful sisters. Food was awesome and the Cappuccino. The Waffles I had were amazing with homemade batter. Definitely on my new spot of must stops in Bushwick.“

“Honestly, if you've heard any hype about this place, believe it. Not only are the staff amazing (yes, all of the staff!) not only are you greeted with warm welcomes but you're immediately greeted with the warm smell of the delicious cookies on hand. We've compared the lineup of cookies to 'other' cookie shops and they don't stand up to Chip City. Our favorites have been the Confetti and Triple Chocolate. My personal fave was the Rainbow cookie so grab when it makes an appearance. And yes, you can check on their site for the week's lineup and plan accordingly. I also want to mention that there is a rewards points system in play of you choose to share your number (they promised me it was only used for points and they don't sell your number- I haven't received any unsolicited texts since signing up). The quickest way to rack up points of buying the Box Sets (3 or 6). Enjoy!

Update: the variety of cookies never stops to amaze me. please, if you're in first hills, stop in and get at least one cookie.“

“Ordered all the way from North Carolina. Setting up subscription now!!“

“Best strawberry shortcake ever.. hands down. It’s so fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. I’m completely hooked on it. And I buy it every year for my daughter .. nicely decorated. Jack is wonderful.

Yes this nice little spot with great prices, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. It’s also cash only, so come prepared.. but it’s 100% worth it for how good everything is.“

“the best bakery in queens and Manhattan. everything there is fresh and tasty. I will visit again and again.“

“Mr. Nick G did an absolutely amazing job on my Bachelorette & Wedding cakes! People are STILLL talking about his cakes to this day!
It not only looked incredible, & just like I pictured it, it tasted great as well!
I just became a FOEVER Customer!
EXCELLENT WORK!!“

“Very nice cookies that taste splendid! However the staff could be a little more enthusiastic (referring to the ones that have worked there for a while, I get it can be tiring to put on a smiley face for each customer that walks in, but you are getting paid to do it and it makes their experience 10x better!). So, there are many new employees who are very welcoming and kind!“

“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 !“

“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!!!)“

“I’ve been coming here for many years. Love the fresh hot bagels when it comes right out of the oven. The menu option is vast, and definitely can’t get to taste every single item on it, (even though I it’s very tempting to try it all). Try it at least once, you will be coming back for more.“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Joes is the spot for all your stuff. The place smells like heaven when you walk in! Lemon cookies are my favorites. Forget about it“

“What a special patissserie and boulangerie ! Every variety of French pastry, sandwich and bread is the finest you can buy anywhere. Their coffe beverages are also excellent. The multigrain loaf disappears quickly with loads of butter. Yum !“

“Cakes are just as delicious as always !! So grateful for the Valencia Crew for organizing a trip to multiple cities in Florida !! So many Boricuas showing up at all locations ! Truly special ! Valencia is #1 ….. not hurry up and open up in Palm Beach !“

“they have sooo many delicious drinks here! I have to keep coming back to try everything. they are on sweeter side, so if you like less sweet just ask them, baristas are very friendly! the only cafe I have found to serve a sweet potato latte and mugwort latte. However their matcha quality is not great.

their pastries selection is as wide as their drink menu, so many to try and all delicious! I love the mochi loaf, mochi cookies, lemon loaf and black sesame croissant. they have rotating sweet and savory options, always changing and always delicious :)

very spacious upstairs and even an outdoor deck, outlets and a bathroom. great place to lock in and get work done with delicious drinks and snacks!“

“great place for a meet up!! owe and good coffee and pastrys.“

“Leidylicious bakery is the most whimsical little bakery that’s gives the most pleasant experience ever. I ordered my daughter’s 8th birthday cake ( a Calico critters theme)from this bakery and the whole experience was very stress free. I love how they made it feels like I hired a personal baker. They communication and attention to every details exceeded my expectations for a small bakery. My daughter was very happy, not only with the design of the cake but also the taste. She is a very picky eater! Our cake was all chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling and you can just taste the richness and know that it is made with good ingredients. It was so moist and full of that whole good chocolate taste. I would recommend this bakery to anyone who is looking for that homemade, real good ingredients cake/desserts.“

“The cheesecake and crumb cake are our favorites“

“Excellent baked goods. Delicious pastry and the CANOLI“
