50 Best Bakeries near Islip

“They rocked it !! Only did they make a beautiful cake for my granddaughter. Just enough sweetness in the cake .“

“I had such high hopes for this gingerbread house. I mean, come on—it’s Christmas Eve, the vibes are immaculate, I’ve got my playlist of Mariah Carey on repeat, and I’m ready to channel my inner architectural genius. I carefully assembled the walls with what I thought was “premium” royal icing (spoiler: it was basically sugary Elmer’s glue). Looked sturdy enough at first. Cute little windows outlined in yellow, a sprinkle roof that screamed “holiday cheer.” I even added a gummy candy garden for that extra Pinterest touch. But then… ambition struck. The roof. Oh, the roof. That heavy, candy-laden beast of a gingerbread slab. I slathered on extra icing for reinforcement, but it wasn’t enough. The whole thing started sagging like a bad facelift. Desperate times called for desperate measures, so I grabbed the Nutella—because nothing says “structural integrity” like chocolate-hazelnut spread, right? I basically mortared the roof on with a thick layer of that glorious goo. For a brief, shining moment, it held. And then… catastrophe. The roof caved in with a tragic crunch, sending gummy bears flying like fleeing villagers. Walls buckled. Icing cracked. And there, in the wreckage, lies the smoking gun: a gingerbread T-Rex, smugly perched atop the rubble with its little candy eyes judging me. Clearly, this prehistoric monster snuck in during the night (or, you know, during my five-minute bathroom break) and went full Jurassic Park on my masterpiece. Look at it—head tilted, arms outstretched like “Who, me?” while the house lies in ruins beneath its feet. The Nutella? It just added a delicious, humiliating glue to the crime scene. Looks like after his scrumptious meal, the T-Rex marked his territory with a colosal dump!“

“THE BEST bagels ever. On Long Island and in New York. I’m not qualified to make that statement but from my personal opinion it’s the absolute best. I’m a local to the area and have been going here for years and recommend it to family and friends from out of town. It’s a great family run business as well.The bagels are soft and chewy, a perfect combo and the cream cheese is smooth and delicious. They put a good amount on there as well.Whenever we are back in town we always grab a bagel here. Highly recommend!“

“We’ve tried Italian cheesecake from many different bakeries and always ended up disappointed and they went in the trash. But then we discovered Mario’s Pasticceria in Babylon! Their Italian cheesecake is absolutely the best we’ve ever had! It was rich, creamy, and had the authentic flavor we’d been searching for. It tasted amazing!! We will definitely be going back for more!“

“Our foundation recently hosted a Sweet 16 for an extraordinary individual who has bravely faced a life-threatening illness. We were delighted to partner with The Cookie Shoppe for the occasion. We can’t thank Stefanie enough for generously donating the beautiful tart cake for our guest’s special day! Your creation was not only a stunning centerpiece but also a delicious treat that everyone loved. It truly added a special touch to the celebration and made the moment of cutting the cake even more memorable. We’re incredibly grateful for your thoughtfulness and skill—thank you for making the Sweet 16 unforgettable! Highly recommend!“

Now it’s our turn to do the same! Run don’t walk to Prestano bakery In Ronkonkoma.“

“Someone brought a sampler of their cheesecake to the office... I now have to bring an extra pair of pants just incase this happens again.“

“Great little Greek grocery store and bakery. I go especially for their fresh goods - baklava, spanakopita, tiropita, galaktoboureko, kourabiedes, koulourakia, melomakarona, etc. Everything is so fresh and so delicious. They have a small hot case with the spanakopita and tiropita, so you can get a piece ready to eat. The people there are so nice as well. Good variety of cheeses and frozen goods too. One star removed for convenience of store hours. They are only open during the day, Monday to Friday. I wish they would consider opening on Saturday, if even for a few hours, or staying open past 4pm a few times a week.“

“I love this place. Cheesecake on a stick. Who would have thought! And it's delicious! As is everything else I've tasted. I was there 2 days ago, and was helped by a Tesse... I remember because my family calls me that. Very helpful, and and her recommendations were spot on. Cupcakes ate oerfect.. loaded brownies are fabulous. Cheesecake just is luscious. I recommend highly going there. It's a little bit of heaven in North Babylon.“

“I bought their chocolate bomb cake and it was beyond amazing.“

“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 !“

“I recently returned to Audrey’s after a long break and was thrilled to find nothing has changed – everything is still amazing! I’ve been a loyal customer since my daughters were young teenagers. Audrey’s creates beautifully decorated cakes that taste delicious. My latest cake was no exception, though it had a bit too much frosting. 🌸 Next time, I will definitely request less frosting. 😊 Despite this minor detail, the quality and service remain top-notch. It’s great to be back enjoying Audrey’s wonderful cakes! 🎂 Highly recommended! 🌟 #AudreysCake #ScrumptiousSweets #HappyCustomer“

“Alpine truly can do it all“

“This custom cake experience was absolutely amazing! I ordered a 6-inch cake, and the ordering process was super convenient. The cake was ready in no time—not only did it look stunning, but it tasted incredible too! I'll definitely be back to order cakes again in the future!“

“This place has been great for over 25 years. I bought my first cake there for my daughter’s baptism party in 2001. I bought a cake for my grandson’s 1st birthday party last month and it did not disappoint. The cake was beautifully decorated and tasted delicious.“

“Excellent spot for awesome comfort food with a flare and the best espresso and lattes . Food was delicious. The atmosphere was like going to grandma‘s house for brunch excellent portions and if you leave hungry, it’s your own fault. I highly recommend a spot. ✨🤙🏼“

“We moved from Howard Beach 2 years ago. We bought a house in Dollard Drive. I usually walk my dog every day. I stopped by this bakery. Most of the time I will leave my dog outside, while I purchase bread & pastries. I dont know if the Woman that is always there is the owner, but she is the nicest person i ever met. I am a regular attendee of this bakery. Since I had throat cancer, I really can't speak so I carry my phone with me for messaging. Every day I usually buy bread a cannoli or Apple turnover. I point to the lady what I want. Many times there are young ladies working the counter. They are all wonderful and helpful. Now they let me and my Dog enter the bakery. He is very well behaved, most of time i buy a small cannoli for Duke. My Wife loves the Cannoli & the Apple turnover. I always leave a tip for them. Whether us winter, summer, rain, snow, heat i have to stop and get a pastry or bread. The name if the Bakery is appropriate. They are the ultimate.“

“Love these people,love the food / coffee. Staff is warm, loving and friendly. Highly recommend 👍🏼☕️🎂 #supportlocalalways“

“I used Fritzsche's as the baker for my wedding cake and they were fantastic to work with! The cake was so delicious and gorgeously decorated. It had 3 tiers; 2 vanilla cake tiers with strawberry mousse and 1 chocolate cake tier with chocolate mousse, with a buttercream frosting on the outside of it. All of our guests loved the cake and everyone was asking who our baker was. I'm so happy we decided to go with my hometown's baker as our wedding cake baker! Thanks so much!“

“Melyssa made the best cake ever for our son's first birthday! Not only was the design super cool, but the cake was so moist and a huge hit! She made our son's day so special and we highly recommend her for all of your events!“

“they have an amazing worker in there. Picked up a party tray Friday the 21st she asked if it was for a party. I said no my grandma had just passed away and family was in from out of state/country so i offered to bring pretzels. I said we would have celebrated her 91st birthday today and she said you know everyone on their birthday gets a free pretzel. She said for this particular pretzel why not everyone take a little piece so it’s like she’s there celebrating with you. That worker without knowing how much I’ve been hurting made me smile and feel a little lighter. thank you for making a hard time in someones life just a little better by your words and actions great establishment besides food“

“Been here a few times now, and now that i moved to NC I was back for the holidays, I decided to take my uncle tonight and wow wow wow it never disappoints. As soon as I walk in, im almost brought to tears because it feels like home. *cues Frank Sinatra* youre greeted as soon as you walk in, everybody having warm BUT LOUD;) italian conversations at the little tables. I asked the woman which gelato she preferred and she said amaretto cookie, and so I said okay ill that one:) ! And the boss/owner intercepted and said, everyone has their own taste and took it upon himself to scoop a sample of it and I like how despite how everybody is in the fast lane and next next next (outside this place) he took the moment to go above and beyond and thats the italian way. It made me smile. Amongst the decadent gelato, the ambiance, the hospitality is what puts the cherry on top. And btw my uncle said a lot of the gelatos hes had have been ice chips but this one, perfecto. Dolce far niente. Like sitting in the car, together, reunited for the holidays, enjoying gelato. Tasting the gelato, but more, tasting a memory far richer than I could've asked.“

“(Translated by Google) Good place but the new workers don't last long because the colleagues are envious and put new wings in bad shape so they don't last long(Original)Buen lugar pero las trabajadoras nuevas no duran mucho porque las compañeras son envidiosas y ponen en mal alas nuevas por eso no duran mucho“

“Yikes. Just watched a video of your driver destroying a car and continuing to drive“

“I stop for coffee and ham/egg/cheese on a biscuit several days a week. The coffee is delicious, so is the Raspberry Lemon hot tea! Just as important, the entire staff is personable, genuine, and it’s always a pleasant and perfect experience. Jeff is a wonderful human being. He was very supportive with a fundraising campaign I am very passionate about; one that will help youth in our community. That showed me how much Jeff and Sweetwaters West Main matters for Smithtown!“

“Sugar Island Bake Shop is my go to for ordering special occasion cookies for friends and family! Nicole is a wonderful small business owner who has amazing attention to detail. Her cookies are beautiful and they are absolutely delicious. I've ordered from her and I've had friends surprise me with cookies from her. Being the recipient of her packages is so heart-warming. 10/10 recommend her and her business. ❤️“

“they are the best, even better than Kjeldsen's....“

“I recently visited El Paisita Bakery in Brentwood with a longtime friend who was showing me around his old neighborhood. This bakery was not there when he was a kid, but it is now right next to Tony’s, which was one of his all-time favorite pizza spots. After enjoying a slice there, we walked over and treated ourselves to a frozen horchata. It was delicious, refreshing, creamy, and perfectly spiced with just the right amount of sweetness. The place has a warm and inviting vibe, and it is clear they put care into what they serve. El Paisita is a great addition to the neighborhood, and I am glad we stopped in.“
