“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😊😊“

“Seeing my specially themed cake (Chocolate Chocolate Cake, consisting of Chocolate Cake, chocolate pudding, chocolate frosting), was a pleasant surprise. With my background in herbology, I think ByClio Bakery did a commendable job. They patiently listened to what vision was expected during the ordering process (I grow my own fruits and vegetables, including edible flowers), The cake's flowers (Dahlia / Marigold / Calendula /Snapdragon / Craspedia / Chrysanthemum just to identify a few) were edible and evoked a summer vibe, with flavors that matched its attractive appearance. Her honesty influenced my review; she explained the carefully wrapped sunflowers stems used as a finishing touch for the garden theme were not edible. The remaining ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The Mocha had a rich chocolate pudding layer and moist cake, the moose like outer layer was light and whipped, indulging in a second slice did not result in excessive sweetness.“

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

“Really great assortment of vegan desserts as well as regular. I tried the vegan pain au chocolat, which was very good! Didn’t have a weird vegan butter texture, which is sometimes an issue with pastries. They also have a restroom in the back, which is a plus!“

“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 recently visited Radio Bakery and was impressed by the quality of both the pastries and focaccia sandwiches. The bakery has a welcoming atmosphere, and everything tasted fresh and carefully crafted. The croissants were flaky and buttery, while the sandwiches were packed with flavor. Service was efficient despite the crowd, and the overall experience lived up to the bakery’s strong reputation. A great spot for breakfast, coffee, or a quick bite in Brooklyn.“

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

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“We stopped into Les Gateaux de Marie while in NYC and absolutely loved it. Such a cozy little bakery with the sweetest atmosphere. You can immediately tell the owner truly loves what she does and puts so much passion into every detail.

Everything we tried was amazing. The latte, coffee, cupcake, and crispy heart were all so good. We sat down for a few minutes to relax and honestly just enjoyed being in the space. The bakery is beautifully designed and feels so warm and welcoming.

One of my favorite parts was seeing the photos of the cakes she has created over the years. You could really feel her creativity and passion through everything in the shop. Everyone there was incredibly kind and helpful, and it ended up being one of those little places that makes a trip feel special. So glad we found it. Everything was affordable! We will be back!“

“Im not even the biggest fan of cookies, but Levain is just so good.

Their cookies are huge and on the chunkier side. It’s slightly soft in the center but crunchy on the outside, and has sufficient mix in ingredients (chocolate chips, walnuts, etc.)

Fav is def the chocolate chips and walnut. I did find the two chip chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookie to be too chocolatey and sweet for my preference.

It’s a little hit or miss, but when it gets too busy they just grab it from the tray so the cookie is either warm or room temp, versus at a diff location ive gone to they heated it up and/or grabbed it from a fresh tray.

Workers are friendly and there’s some seats and areas to stand and enjoy your cookie! :)“

“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!“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

“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. ❤️“

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

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

“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 Cookies is one of those dessert spots that feels more like a weekly rotation treat than a casual cookie stop. My experience was all about texture and presentation—each cookie is oversized, soft in the center, and usually served warm, which makes the flavors feel richer than expected. The rotating menu keeps things interesting; one week you might get classic chocolate chip, the next something like peanut butter mousse or lemon glaze that tastes more like a mini dessert than a cookie.

What stood out most was how consistent the quality felt across different flavors. Even the more experimental ones are well-balanced rather than overly sweet.

Tips from experience: check the weekly menu before going so you don’t miss a flavor you actually want. Go earlier in the day—popular flavors often sell out. If you’re buying multiple, share them; the portions are big and can get overwhelming after two or three. Also, reheat at home for 10–15 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked texture.“

“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.“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“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.“

“Out of the several places I had eaten at in the city, this was easily the best. The young lady at the counter was extremely welcoming and kind. I was able to try the the dirty horchata, strawberry match and jelly bomboloni. All three were incredible. The bombolini was easily the best pastry I had in NY. I cannot recommend this place enough! If the staff/owner sees this, thank you very much for your hospitality and the great experience!“

“Paul a Sicilian from Ohio.. i placed my first order for Italian fig cookies.. they arrived fresh and delicious.. its like I went into the pastry shop and they just baked them.. ill be sure to order many kind of pastry I grew up with.. Great experience 👍“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tony is the best barista, this place has the best unique flavors of coffee, best atmosphere to look at art while you wait for your coffee 🖤🖤

Tony recommended the Black Sesame Latte, and it will make you a life long customer.“

“I can’t speak highly enough about this place. A great and consistent breakfast burrito, not to mention the pastries are incredible. I had been wanting for their special outrageously large cinnamon roll for a while now and well it did not disappoint!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“definitely recommend it.“

“Great people and the best rugelach on the planet.“

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

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“5/26/2026
Stopped in for one of those pineapple and pork buns that I heard about in Chinatown and it did not disappoint. The shop was small but had a lot to offer for sure plenty of fresh baked goods, amazing cheap pricing and a homely feel to the place. The bun was way better than I expected lil sweet and savory and filled well. Stop by if your waiting in line next door for sure“

“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.“

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

“So cute! The staff are very friendly and helpful. My vanilla almond milk latte was chef's kiss. Also tried the oxtail crossaint and the crossaint cruffin were both tasty. The lemon curd inside of the cruffin had the right amount of tartness. Paired well with the fluffy meringue. Will return!“

“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.“
