“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😊😊“

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

“I had a wonderful experience with Byclio Bakery.

I ordered a Russian roulette cake for my wife’s birthday. She has been following Byclio on instagram for a while now and has been wanting one of the cakes. So I filled out the form and trusted Clio to work her magic - and she definitely delivered!

First off, the ordering and pickup process was very easy. The cake was ready at the pickup time that I requested , and Clio even presented the cake to me in person! On the form , I had only noted some colors/themes and flavors that my wife would like. Clio took that and ran with it. The final design was better than I could have imagined !

The cake itself was chocolate with a passion fruit curd and was absolutely delicious! All the guests raved about it, and some even said it took the top spot as their favorite cake ever !

Thank you Byclio Bakery for the amazing cake and overall great experience !“

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

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

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

“Radio Bakery is absolutely worth the hype! The pastries are incredible, with such beautiful layers, buttery textures, and amazing flavors. Everything feels thoughtfully made, and the quality really stands out. Definitely a must-visit for pastry lovers! A word of warning there will be a line.“

“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 have been going here for years and absolutely love it. Service is always fabulous but today I was blown away. I ordered for pick up and was pulled into a meeting, causing me to come get my iced drink and hot sandwich 1 hour later than I was supposed to, leaving the drink melted and the breakfast sandwich cold. When I got there, Pedro didnt hesitate to offer to remake everything fresh for me. In a day where everything wasnt going my way, this gesture from him meant a lot to me.“

“Marie is the absolute best. I asked her to make a cake for my birthday and my guests and myself have been talking about it ever since! I called Marie to tell her my vision and she helped me through it and made it even better, she's so kind and so open to collaborating. And not only that the flavor was INSANELY DELICIOUS. I am normally not a big cake person but it was the perfect balance of moist and creamy, the way I told her how I wanted it to be. I asked for vanilla frosting with chocolate inside, and a layer of praline cream. Highly recommend ordering from Marie for any occasion. I definitely will be doing that again soon.“

“Coconut mochi is soo delish! I also loved the pumpkin spice latte! Amazing food and service, appreciate the server and owner answering all my dairy and gluten questions. I’m so glad they carry so many gluten free options. My son is dairy free and I wish there were more dairy free options too!“

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

“Best vegan chocolate croissant! Since the closure of Le Petit Monstre & L’impremiere, it was difficult to find a place that makes authentic and proper vegan croissants. Unregular nails it. Also had an excellent plant-based SEC on a round croissant. Excellent! Makes me wonder why they don’t just make everything vegan, no one would notice. Please open a vegan location in Williamsburg!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 💕 🎂🍩💙“

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

“Delicious bagels and not too expensive if you're just getting a bagel and cream cheese. I tried the cinnamon raisin with the goat cream cheese and it was SO good! Visited on a Saturday morning and it was packed but they move quickly. Grab a ticket as soon as you get in! There is no seating here, but they have two benches outside (that will likely be occupied if it's busy). They also sell coffee, chocolates, and other foods!“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“Amazingly delicious treats! We loved the cloud cake and earl grey puff! It’s to die for! The teas we bought were amazing too! I only have one request, please open up a store in Chicago so I can enjoy your amazing treats more regularly!“

“This is hands down my absolute favorite Crumbl location! They literally never disappoint. Every dessert I’ve gotten here has been absolutely perfect, fresh, delicious, and actually looks just like the photos on the app 😂. You can tell they really take their time with everything because the cookies always come out looking and tasting amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and I’ll happily keep coming back! 🍪💕“

“Delicious cookies, you must try them when in NY. I recommend asking the staff to heat up the cookie if you are going to eat it in the moment. The chocolate chip cookie is great, worth the hype! The coffee was okay, not as good as I expected.“

“Thank you so much. Sent a special gift to my cousin from the UK straight to Brooklyn. Amazing service, great bakes and service. Very happy cousin enjoyed a lovely selection of bakes and cakes. Highly recommend!!“

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

“Super cute space I had found online! The laminated croissant breakfast sandwich was amazing! We definitely want to go back again to try more of their sweets they looked so good! Service was fast and they had a great playlist on when we were there! There is limited counter space but still had a few spots to enjoy your food right there!“

“Great customer service! Loved the cereal milk soft serve the most 🍦“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“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!“

“This place is a NYC gem. The people on here giving one star reviews don’t get Sullivan (or food) and have also just decided to purposely get their knickers in a twist. Everything is sourdough based. So, no, Italian tourist, it won’t taste like a run-of-the-mill croissant. It’ll be different (and in many cases better). You don’t think they have enough bread? They sell out because they bake small batch. It’s not Whole Foods. Ingredients are absolutely top notch which is why you feel zero bloat from this food. This is the United States Top ingredients cost a lot. If you don’t like that, show it in how you vote. Best tastes in town here!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“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.“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

“definitely recommend it.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Radio Bakery was good but maybe I should've gotten the more popular items.

The tomato danish was good. The new corn focaccia tastes a bit under-baked. The vanilla kouign-amann was really fluffy with a hardened sugar coating bottom.

The line for 10am drop was pretty quick - 15 min wait. But the line for 11am drop was significantly longer - about 45mins.

To give an idea, the corn focaccia dropped at 10am which we got right away. Then we went back in line for the 11am drop and at 11:15am, there were only two slices of corn foaccis left.“

“Croissant & pain au chocolat : Best in New York. But careful, usually available around 9:45/10am. I didn’t go for 3 months and I regret that. Will go more often for sure.
I hesitated to put a bad review so that this place does get more famous, but it’s too good for doing it such a prejudice.“

“Their focaccia bread is by far my favorite. And this is coming from someone who is a croissant fanatic over focaccia bread, in general. Been to a lot of bakeries and yet the flavor, crust, texture of their bread is unparalleled. Their kouign amann is VERY good but their bread blew me away. Incredibly friendly staff as well. I’ve seen the owner there every time I visit and can tell they care deeply about their pastries and bread. Highly, highly recommend!“

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

“I was a bride from a distance and used this bakery for my wedding day, and I’m so glad I did! Their cupcakes were absolutely decadent—so delicious you truly couldn’t stop eating them. The frosting was light and not overly heavy, and the cake itself was hands-down the best. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and perfectly made. I would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding desserts or cupcakes that wow your guests!“
