50 Best Bakeries near Howard Beach

“I always get our cakes from La Torre for special events and everyday treats! This the beautiful cake made for my daughter’s bday!“

“First and foremost I come to sugar bun ALOT, especially early mornings. Since it’s on my route to work it’s convenient for me to call and place my order ahead of time. I love them for this.. when they answer.

If they don’t answer I expect that they’re busy which is understandable. This morning I try calling about 10x. First call a women picks up puts me on immediate hold and didnt come back. So I called a few more times and no answer. When I arrive surprised to see that it’s empty inside. Only 1 person waiting on food. I inform them about the phone issue reminding them I come here often. They tell me it’s the phone having issues. I understand and let it go.

Then I order a wheat bagel with SCALLION cream cheese and everything with PLAIN cream cheese. Both extra toasted. I also bought a small coffee (light & sweet is what I ordered). The cashier distinctly asked me if the everything gets scallion as well, and I told her NO.

A few people start walking in so once my food is ready I don’t bother to double check it. Just for me to get home to 2 bagels with PLAIN cream cheese. I’m truly disappointed in my experience today. Any other day 10/10, even on a busy holiday, this place is my fav. But today 0/10.“

“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“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😊😊“

“Excellent donuts yummy. Best donuts I ever tasted!!“

“My cake was stunningly gorgeous. I never imagined my birthday theme could be so perfectly captured in a cake design, but ByClio exceeded my expectations. It was perfect!

For the cake itself, I got the Indian Summer flavor. It was a little dry and helped me discover that I don't enjoy fruit IN cake, so I would love to try another flavor in the future.“

“The best strawberry cheesecake and chocolate covered cannolis I have ever had. 100/10, I’ll dream about these items forever lol.“

“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!!“

“As most places in NYC, we stumbled upon this bakery. Once your eyes see it, I challenge you to not go into it. It’s a very colorful place and the person who served us was incredibly patient and friendly (I kept coming back to add to my order). The coffee was very, very good, my cortado was perfect.
We got a couple of pastries for the following day and the croissant (I’m French) was very good even after a day. It was filled with pistachio cream and the size was just right, the cream very nutty and not overly sweet and sickly. Shame we live so far away because I’d make it a regular.“

“Great, Great everything delicious. Outdoor eating area only 4 tables.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“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.“

“So happy to have finally tried it! 🍪🤎
• I was very excited to try Levain, and it did not disappoint.
• Crunchy on the outside with ooey-gooey, chocolatey goodness inside—super buttery too!
• Ordered the classic chocolate chip walnut and will definitely be back to try the peanut butter dark chocolate and oatmeal. Also curious about the toffee and coconut flavors.
• Staff are kind and helpful when you ask for recommendations. There can be lines, but they move fast.
• A few stools and tables are available by the windows for dine-in.
• A definite must-try when in NYC!“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

“Stopped there recently while visiting my daughter. Best Cafe Mocha I’ve ever had! Delicious croissants as well!“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“I work for a law firm in CA and we have an employee who works remotely in NY.. For our employee's birthday I wanted to choose a bakery close to her home and who was local. Stumbled upon Buttercup Bake Shop and they were so awesome! Totally worked with me and delivered the cupcakes with NO hassle. Needless to say our NY employee was super happy and LOVED the flavors and decorations of the cupcakes. ❤️“

“Great staff, friendly, perfect coffee, and their desserts are simply AMAZING!“

“Outstanding pastries! My favs are their black and white cookies, (best ever!), brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I find their blueberry muffins and cupcakes to be too small - very tiny.“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“Crumbl Cookie is an absolute treat every single time! From the moment you walk in, the smell alone is enough to make your day better. The rotating weekly menu keeps things exciting, and every cookie I’ve tried has been perfectly baked—crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. The flavors are creative, rich, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Even the classic chocolate chip is next-level. The staff is always friendly, service is fast, and the presentation is beautiful. Crumbl isn’t just cookies—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for satisfying any sweet craving! 🍪✨“

“Best Bakery in NYC. Got my vanilla & Chocolate Mouse Cake today 😃. 🎂 delish! I’ve been going here since I was a little girl. Grew up in the area. Always come back to bushwick for this cake. Want a good cake please go here. Best in the business.“

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

“Sullivan Street Bakery is my go to coffee shop when I'm in Hell's Kitchen. The lattés are good. They have a fairly large variety of flatbreads, sandwiches, cookies, pastries and cake. I feel comfortable hanging there waking up and enjoying my coffee. Calm.“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

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

“We were in NYC for the weekend and I was told to check this place out. They definitely did not disappoint! Everything was delicious but now I need this in Buffalo….will always be on my list when we visit NYC!“

“Bread Story is a charming bakery that delivers fresh, well-made breads and pastries with a comforting, homemade feel. The selection is simple but thoughtfully done, with balanced flavors and quality ingredients. It’s a cozy spot to grab a quick bite or something to go, and the consistency makes it easy to come back again and again.“

“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.“

“Are you passionate about pistachios? I am and at Petit Chou there is a pistachio éclair ($8) that is simply divine. Studded with a profusion of the tasty nuts, this pastry also has pistachio cream inside making each bite heavenly. I ate this last Friday. It's best to wait a few minutes to let it soften a bit before starting to eat. When I truly enjoy something I tend to eat slowly savoring each bite even though I know I may have it again.“

“Had an amazing first experience at Saint Michel Cafe. So friendly and attentive. Love the set up of the place so nostalgic and welcoming. Had the best strawberry matcha latte and my partner had a dulce de leche hōjicha. We had a great experience overall. Most definitely will return and hang out next time.“

“Eating the apple turnover inspired me to write this review - I've been here many times and nothing has disappointed me. Everything tastes super fresh, flavorful - even down to the chocolate in the chocolate croissant (it's like...not standard dark chocolate. I dont know what it is but its great and I enjoy it). Kinda expensive but worth it if you're ever in the area.“

“This is some of the best food around, full stop – and it just happens to be veg friendly. But beyond that, this is a very special establishment. It’s the kind of place where every single part of the experience reflects care and intention – from the menu, to the decor, down to the cutlery. The vibe is casual, and the folks working there are welcoming and make you feel taken care of. The cumulative experience makes for a level of hospitality that many more formal restaurants in the city have lost. I hope this place is around for many years to come.“

“Tbh the gluten free muffin was divine. I thought I had the best gf banana bread recipe but this put me in my place. I would have never known it was buckwheat/gluten free. So moist and fluffy and the perfect sweetness.
There’s a short wait if you’re getting a burrito but there was no line or wait for a baked good.
Their prices are steep-ish but fair given their popularity. The muffin after tax was $6.50.
Honestly so many gluten free options it was great.“

“Such a lovely spot! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the customer service was genuinely kind and attentive. Everything was impeccably clean, and the desserts were presented so beautifully—it almost felt like art. The garlic bread was flavorful and perfectly done. I’m excited to return and explore more of their offerings, especially their packages.“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“Radio Bakery is such a treat. I love trying all their seasonal pastries and also indulge on some of the classics. Some of my favorites are the cinnamon roll, brown butter apple tart, and the smoked salmon focaccia. It can get busy but getting there around 8am, you shouldn't expect to wait that long.“

“definitely recommend it.“

“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.“

“Just had a delicious meal here and highly recommend it to everyone! our server, Maria was amazing and guided us in our menu choices.“

“Yummy, delicious, flavorful cookies, and friendly staff. We stood in line outside as they were super busy, but so worth it!“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“Maria makes the best carrot cake, red velvet, trees leches, plain and almond croissants I’ve ever tasted. Her passion for pastry is simply unbeatable. This isn’t because I provide her with same day delivery service, but I’m speaking as her customer as well. Her pastries are crafted with arts and the taste speaks for itself. I’m very familiar with French pastries for far too many years, so mark my words, if you’re looking for authentic French pastries, Les Gateaux De Marie is the place to go.“

“Amazing baked goods that are not the same played out options you find at most bakeries.“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“My go-to bakery. Best egg custard tarts. Not too sweet with the flakiest crust. Baked bbq pork buns also excellent. Loaded with meat and not too sweet, either. Oh, don’t forget to buy a box of the walnut cookies for $5, as well as a box of the crispy sesame cookies made with egg whites. Just divine!“

“Been here once or twice before but I am happy that I came this morning. I was uplifted by the worship music as well as my Oat Matcha and apricot danish. All the baked goods are very well done. I’m just puzzled why this neighborhood patisserie/coffee shop isn’t more busy?? Deserved to be full at all times! Thank you for your service!“

“While I thought the shelf appeal was great, I’ve learned not to be fooled by good-looking baked goods alone. Fortunately, Miolin’s taste as great as they look!

I’ve tried their strawberry croissant, chocolate croissant, double-baked almond croissant, and kouign-amann. I was a bit skeptical about the 'double-baked' concept, but I took my maiden voyage into that world with Miolin, and it was delicious!“

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