15 Best Bakeries in Long Island City

“This is a great spot for a quick French dessert or sandwich takeout! My only minor gripe is that they often sell out of their best sandwich options early, leaving the same limited selection available in the afternoons. I’m no expert, but wouldn’t it make sense to prepare more of their best sellers and fewer of the sandwiches that consistently go unsold?“

“Excellent find along Vernon Blvd in LIC. Had ice coffee and delicious chocolate chip cookie. Looking around see very fresh looking salads and sandwiches being served and enjoyed by patrons. Great variety of muffins, cakes & croissants. All moderately priced. Wish there were more places like this.“

“My Most Favorite Food ! Super deluxe bistro-fare styled food & beverage menu. Great wholesome desserts ! Popular for private meetings, dates, and family gatherings year-round. Super managerial staffing. Warm, open, friendly environment that's cozy in Winter and cooler in Summer ! With a slightly uppercut atmosphere and panache.Permanently closed on January 7, 2022.“

“The food and the place itself is absolutely amazing as well as the employees“

“Delicious desserts and great coffee!“

“great place for a meet up!! owe and good coffee and pastrys.“

“The quality control at this place is amazing. Every location I visit always has delicious cookies that are crispy on the outside and have a nice crunch yet a warm and gooey center. These cookies even last up to two weeks and it can be reheated using a myriad of kitchen, gadgets, and all methods result in a deliciously warmed up cookie.“

“ottimo accogliente davvero speciale. consigliatissimo!“

“What a sandwich! Probably *the* most flavorfully complex sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. Got the Cuban torta with “everything on it”. The owner did not disappoint.

Every bite is a dive into a wonderfully savory chew of complex flavors. I’m amazed.

The only thing that is missing is some lays potato chips to lay on this bad boy.

Straight out of scooby doo“

“I’ve been going to this store for years! Ever since I was little, I mostly go there for the empanadas I love the chicken and potato with beef I think their so delicious ?☕️ (the drinks in the picture are pineapple and apple flavored)“

“I was craving for Lamingtons for weeks! Tried to find a bakery that sells them. Found Sans Bakery & ordered online, it came in a nice box, beautifully packed & best of all, their lamingtons are superb! Perfect for tea time!“

“Showing the empty dish because the quiche was so good! Love this little bakery for its great food (the bacon brioche also delicious!) and pastries that are sinful. Try the chocolate almond croissant, slightly heated. William is wonderful. He’s patient with those trying to decide between all the pasties laid out tempting all tastebuds, and he is extremely kind and friendly. Was worried for a while earlier in the year after having some not so pleasant encounters with a different worker, so now with William many in my office nearby are so happy with the change.

I also love the introduction of new things seasonally and hope this continues. Not that one can get bored with all the great selections now, but it is nice to have new options to try from time to time.

And Finally a bakery that has authentic croissants as opposed to bread that is crescent shaped.

Update: just wanted to share my latest favorite. In all honesty, I never thought a vegan cake could taste so good! I think this apple cranberry cake is overlooked because there are probably many out there like me who didn’t think it would be tasty. William suggested a couple of things for me to try. This was one of them. This place is seriously a gem. Not easy to spot because of the way it’s set in the building, but the tables outside help!

Update2 (wish there was a way to post additional reviews!)

Missing William but love Ryan. The atmosphere of this location is personal. A small venue, but both William and Ryan make it a friendly and welcoming place. My latest love with the warmer weather coming on are the iced teas. mango peach lemonade and the matcha lemonade are delicious. I paired it with the roast chicken with pesto, peppers on a baguette the other day.

Also new is the quiche Sara. This is the best quiche yet!

Update 3: orange blossom caramel cappuccino. my go-to in the morning! Great barista skills!“

“I stopped by Don Dean Bakery and had a great experience! I ordered the chicken taco, a medium coffee, and a Coca-Cola, and everything was fresh and delicious. The service was fast and efficient, and I appreciated that there was seating available to enjoy my meal comfortably. The bakery also has a nice selection of pastries and baked goods, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a coffee break. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!“
