50 Best Bakeries near Islip

“The rainbow cake is delicious“

“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!“

“As longtime Islip residents we support our local business. The customer service is excellent. Clean with tables to sit and enjoy a fresh made bagel or sandwich for lunch. Prices are reasonable on the menu boards with many choices displayed. Highly recommended if you want fast friendly service without waiting on long lines elsewhere. Joey and Linda DeCarmine“

“Just love Glenn Wayne donuts since I discovered them last year. Bought 2 dozen on Sunday to bring to a family picnic and they were a big hit!“

“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!“

“I custom ordered a beautiful cake for my MIL’s 70th surprise party. It was stunning and tasted amazing! Everyone loved it. There wasn’t a piece left!“

“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!“

The service is excellent and friendly conversations flow easily. A nice young man “paid it forward “ today and paid for our order. Thanks again to that wonderful customer!! Now it’s our turn to do the same! Run don’t walk to Prestano bakery In Ronkonkoma.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

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

“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. ✨🤙🏼“

“Horrific service Thurs Oct 18th 2024 around 520p. Staff totally ignore people that come in. Place was empty and three people were behind the counter and I couldn't get anyone to help me. Even when something was said by another customer that came in, still no help. I ended up leaving not getting the the items I wanted.“

“Huge shout out to Torta Fina Bakeshoppe & Patisserie in Babylon! I went in with nothing more than a verbal description of a funfetti Bundt cake for my son’s graduation; no picture, just an idea; and they absolutely blew it out of the park.

Not only was the cake beautiful, but everyone is STILL talking about how delicious it was. Moist, flavorful, perfectly done, and honestly one of the best cakes we’ve had. They completely brought my vision to life and made the celebration even more special.

Thank you for your incredible work and attention to detail; I will definitely be back! 🎂✨“

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

“I've come here twice for... pretty last minute cakes 😭 (sorry guys, thank you chef!). I got chocolate with strawberry filling both times and oh my god.... so moist, delicious and fresh and SO CUTE ESPECIALLY FOR IT BEING LAST MINUTE!!!! The young girl at the counter is an absolute sweetheart, very kind. This spot isn't a cheap 20$ cake, it's 50$ which is so fair, but truly fresh and quality and they're so kind and nice. Been here twice and will be coming back!“

“Delicious products and an amazingly thoughtful menu for people with celiac or gluten allergies. I found gluten free gingerbread people for my daughter to decorate at an upcoming holiday party, and a gluten free gingerbread house kit, which I’ve never been able to find before! My daughter was also able to get a toasted buttered bagel for the road, also a first for her! The staff is kind and accommodating. I highly recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

“(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“

“Best carrot cake anywhere around!“

“🍞🥖🍳🥪🥞🍜🥟🍲🍛🥘🥙🍤🍨🍰🧁🥧🍩🎂 Excelente 😀😀“

“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.“

“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....“

“Excellent experience at Cinnabon today! The staff was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. Micheal deserves special recognition for his attention to detail, multitasking, and perfectly baked cinnamon rolls. Keep up the great work, team!“

“Delicious food as always every time we come around here . We come from Flushing N.Y. I wish soon in the future this owners could open one of this bakeries in queens so we can save the traveling. We also have a lot of Central American population here in queens , trust me your company will be making a lot of money in this business too.“

“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!“
