“Excellent warm pretzels right out of the oven . The pretzels were delicious, spongy and had the perfect amount of salt on them. There were many complimentary dips to choose from and I went with the deli mustard. The mustard was perfect with just the right amount of horseradish. Will definitely return when in the area.“
“Love this little local bakery!! Jenny at the counter was so friendly and helpful and patient and Elisa, the owner, is the best. I have been working with her for a few years on cakes for celebrations. She’s very quick to respond and always gets it right! The cakes are always so delicious and creative!!“
“Once I tried crumbl while away I've been hooked. Been to this location 2x and safe to say I'm addicted! It smells amazing when you walk in! You can order on the app for pick up. Cookies are always fresh and the workers are friendly.“
“Absolutely incredible! Everything is perfect from here! I would say the Linzers are top tier! The Linzers are just perfect surpringly light with great jelly. You would expect a lot of these desserts to be very heavy but they actually are not crazy. Everything is just flavored perfectly you would thing a brownie crammed with a rainbow cookie would be very rich surprisingly it was just right. They really hit it out of the park with everything. My only wish is that you could get smaller portions of the regular cookies I didn't feel like shelling oit $20 for a pound while I was already trying all this other stuff. Maybe a half pound option or make like an uncut brick of tricolor cookies.“
“We ordered a custom biscoff cake for my daughters birthday. The communication was great; super understanding when we had to reschedule our order to a different day last minute so A+ for service. The cake itself was absolutely beautiful and it was so moist and flavorful. Every parent at the birthday party asked where we got the cake. This is our new go to spot!“
“Tried their red velvet cake with NO EGGS! Simply put, it was amazing! Very enjoyable, and I will be visiting again. This is an example of what happens when vendors are nice to people because they are customers and not judging them based upon prejudices. After trying their red velvet cake, I might be trying a few other items.“
“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“
“Grew up in the Meadow when there were only a few bagel stores to pick from, yet visit from the south I always visit SantaFe and bring home a piece of LI ! Staff is always pleasant and bagels fresh. Still haven't figured out how many extra I get w a dozen but no complaints.“
“An unfortunately overlooked gem right in the middle of deer park. Charming, cozy, and straight up delicious, this cafe has the right stuff to give the cafe chains a run for their money.Immediately upon walking in, my partner and I were greeted warmly, as they insisted we try their award winning gelato. The wide spread of homemade unique flavors made deciding a difficult but happy struggle. The fresh espresso coffee and pastries were simply delightful.Should our stomachs be allowed, we would have eaten everything. We look forward to returning and trying something new.“
“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“
“One of the reviews used "cute and cozy" already. Spot on. If you haven't seen it decorated for Christmas please go today. The baked goods look and taste amazing. The coffee was so fresh and flavorful. It is a hidden gem of main street. Sneak around the corner for a coffee and treat on your next walk. Bring the kids to see the decorations. Absolutely love this shop.“
“Everything tastes homemade, fresh and absolutely delicious! Every single item I have tried did not disappoint, nothing is over sweetened or commercialized. They definitely use quality ingredients. P. S. The cookie trays last for weeks! Best bakery! I’d give them 100 stars if it were an option.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Finally got to stop here today. And let me say…What a treat!!! Taking something classic like a “whoopie pie” and just re-inventing it so damn well!! Moist Cake, creamy delicious filling, not over filled and hard to eat either.! Service was great and fast. It’s just a walk up window with the list of flavors. And as we were leaving with our order more and more people were lining up. Can’t wait to try the other flavors!!!Pictured : funfetti, choc peanut butter and cookies n cream!“
“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“
“Really cool! Lots of options and is open super late. Went in at 9 pm and they had so many options even late at night. This is the only barley I know open until midnight or late. Got the chocolate dipped cheesecake, good quality cheesecake, I do wish the chocolate it was dipped became more of a shell but it was super good and rich.“
“absolutely love this bakery! in the last two weeks alone i have purchased 2 speciality cakes from them- both perfect and delicious!! i showed vic a photo of what i wanted for both events and she truly brought my vision to life. i couldn’t have been happier and they were so delicious!!“
“Occasionally when I drop off my laundry I visit Duchess for a cookie. I would give Duchess a solid 3.5 stars. Sometimes the cookies taste a bit cold, even though they are kept under a light. The reviews about Duchess's cookies are accurate, as they are indeed quite big and have a slightly doughy texture. It seems like that's the intention behind them, and despite that, I still find the taste enjoyable. Out of all the cookies they offer, my absolute favorite is the Red Velvet White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookie. Additionally, I also enjoy their energy elixirs. I can't remember the exact one I had, but it had a purple color. Every cashier I have encountered has been extremely kind. The interior of the shop is of average size, but it is decorated vibrantly, which adds to the overall experience.“
“Kind of a hidden gem. Food is good. Prices are reasonable but if you're looking for something trendy this is not the place. At first glance. I don't think most people would even realize that they serve food it just looks like a small bakery. Don't let that intimidate you sit at one of the tables. Look through the menu and give the food a try.“
“The baker Nia was so nice and she did an amazing job. She had a great attitude and wanted details and was eager to help. The people at the service counter were pretty good one lady was much more engaged than the other but overall my cupcakes were delicious and I will be back.“
“Perfect Barbie cake for my 4 year old! The cake was gorgeous and delicious. Moist and perfectly layered. I’ve been using this bakery for years and am always blown away with their quality products. The baker is an artist. I’ve also ordered custom cupcakes.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free“
“Listen, I don’t say this lightly - these are THE BEST custom cookies on Long Island. Don’t bother going anywhere else. From the attention to customer service to the detail in every cookie, every step was A+/5 stars/10/10/Would Recommend. Not only were the cookies beautiful, they were also tasty. And to top it all off, they are reasonably priced. Too reasonably. I sent the baker a Pinterest photo and she exceeded my expectations!“
“Staff is great and the desserts are always on point!! Must try the Crunchy cake! My family loves is! Our go to cake for any birthday or party we have! Cookies are delicious and the coffee was very tasty! All the employees had great attitude and the atmosphere overall was amazing! Definitely give them a try and I promise your sweet tooth craving will be satisfied!“
“We had our daughters 8th birthday at Celebrations in the Kitchen and have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! From start to finish all the girls were entertained and excited. They had a blast making cookies and bringing them home to their families :) highly recommend!“
“I don’t get to come here often but when I do, it is always such a delight. The bakery is clean and the staff always so kind and gracious. One of the few places you will find the sort of almond croissant you desire. Parking is small so careful with how you enter/exit. If you have not yet stopped into this bakery, it is small but mighty! Definitely recommend.“
“Great place with great pastry options! Went there at the end of a Sunday for a coffee and pastry and I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant filled pistachio cream was delicious as well as the apricot and almond bar! The monte cristo sandwich was ok, would not order again. I enjoy eating at the place to enjoy a cafe atmosphere. Would go back to try more treats!“
“Too often we only comment when we have a complaint to make or if we are not happy with a service.I am going to change that pattern and let Stew Leonard's know about how happy I am with the customer service department in the Farmingdale location.In particular, Nadine has impressed me with her knowledge of the store polices, locations of items, and overall helpfulness she exhibits.Kudos to the store and Nadine.Arthur Langer“
“HOLY COW! What a cake they made me for my mom’s surprise 60th Elvis Presley themed birthday party! The staff and cake decorator really know how to put a cake together. From the flavors, colors, sayings, and designs!!! YOU MUST check out sweet karma desserts if you’re ever on the island. I was amazed when I walked in there, but then when I opened my own cake!!! WWWOOOWWW. Only issue I had was the birthday girl wanted the car TAKE HOME ?? but it got eaten at the party. So I had to call back to hope and pray the cake decorator wouldn’t mind making one more pink Cadillac rice crispy car with incredible fondant work.This bakery MADE my party and I couldn’t thank them more. I mean look at this thing!!! He even added pictures from a family trip from Graceland to tie it all together. 20/10! Thank you thank you again!!!!!!“
“Very impressed! I said that 3 times inside the store, so that is saying much. First time in a Lidl and very happy with their fruit, bakery and overall prices. They also carry brand names so there are a lot of choices. Crazy how we got a whole Butterball Turkey for $13 total! I liked Lidl better than Aldi and we'll be back :)“
“I like the products they make, they are fresh and good ? but I have a suggestion regarding the employees since as it is a public business, there are different people from different parts of the world with different customs, for example in my country, tell them love, my life, mommy ect for us it is not correct, I in particular do not like that, whoever accepts it is their problem, I hope that they as employees understand my opinion and my customs are respected, thank you“
“Best cupcakes I've ever had. The pink vanilla are classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and are my favorite. They are very soft and moist. They stay fresh for a few days after I buy them. Friendly staff and clean store. They make very cute cupcakes for all holidays. Highly recommend.“
“We were in Hicksville and wanted some snacks for afternoon. We saw this place and wanted to try it. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went for just one item and we ended having three. The most important thing we noticed was their quantity. We had dabeli in so many places but we couldn’t finish this one . As they filled it so much . Their noodles were very tasty, made fresh and they gave lotsss of them. We really enjoyed their food and will definitely go back“
“This is one of the best businesses in town! The bagels, coffee cake, sandwiches are absolutely fabulous! The service is amazing. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. As a business owner of (Luna Lawn Service, Masonry & Painting), I think that we are so lucky to have this establishment in Merrick to call our own.“
“Let’s talk Hamentashen. Better yet let’s talk Classic Hamentashen; prune, mohn, apricot. Not so Easy to find these days and often awful, especially the super dry undercooked doughy bagel bakery or supermarket variety. I am pleased to report that Zuckers Hamentashen are superb! Crisp dough, slightly sugar glazed and melt in your mouth fillings. Get em FRESH in store at Plainview. You’ll thank me later.“
“Had an issue At the Melville store , with one item the manager was terrific. No questions asked was able to replace what I brought in and it was on Easter when they were very busy. They were pleasant kind and I Will always shop at uncle Giuseppe‘s.“
“Stopped in today for some dessert after a quick, casual dinner in town. Lots of choices of cookies, pastries and cakes.We ordered a Yellow cake with chocolate frosting that was very good. They also offered to customize a message on the cake.Fresh and the icing was not too sweet.Friendly service, Clean.We would stop by again when craving some fresh baked cake, YUM.“
“They are absolutely amazing, family owned for years their cannoli’s are superb, all of their stuff are unbelievable, I would travel to the end of the earth for all their desserts. Happy Thanksgiving to you & family always…I’m“
“We were riding down Broadway in Amityville on our way to another eatery, looked to the left and saw the sign: THE CHEESECAKE STOP. We decided to swing in on our way back. We glad we did.Ada, the only one there when we arrived, said the recipes are her mother's.We decided on the PEACH SWIRL and the HOT CHOCOLATE flavors.We can taste the chocolate and the peach. Very smooth. Velvety.I got the single serve. My friend girl got the mini.There are plenty of menu choices.And there are seats inside and outside the eatery.“
“If you like apples and anything made with apples you need to come to Jericho Cider Mill!It's not a huge store by any means and you have to park along 106 and walk with the traffic but it's well worth the visit once you're inside. Shelves and shelves of jams (including moonshine jam!), apple cider doughnuts, pies, cider, and other various goodies. Fairly priced and a fast moving line with a helpful staff. I always warm up their cider and it hits the spot each time. Not too sweet but also not too tart. The doughnuts are heaven and so fresh. I do need to try their jams next time I visit. Very much worth the impossible parking situation (wear boots) to get some apple goodness.“
“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“

“We got our wedding cake from Angela and it was AMAZING!! I would highly recommend getting a cake from her for any occasion. We ordered some tasting cupcakes to determine which flavor combo to go with and it was so hard to choose - the flavor and texture of her cakes are outstanding! Lots of compliments and questions where we ordered it from from our guests. Also, Angela was so helpful and easy to work with.“
“Nice new location for Paris Baguette in Plainview Shopping Centre! Just what this area needed, another a pastry and cake shop as an option. Love PB cakes and pastries. Definitely spacious as one walks in to look and select pastries, cakes, sandwiches, drinks they wish to purchase and either dine in or take out. Cakes are nice and cream is light and not heavy. If you need a cake with writing, need to pre-order at least 2 days in advance for pickup. Mochi donuts are delicious and good to share, along with the pastries. They have seasonal specials and special promos for PB members who have signed up and use the app. PB reward members earn points with the app for every purchase so don't forget to scan. And if redeeming rewards, only one reward can be redeemed at a time.“
“This was my second visit to this adorable shop. The displays are always filled with delightful treats and an amazing variety. Last time, we sampled one of each of their macarons. Perfection. From the feet on the macarons to the light but flavorful fillings, we knew we had to return for more treats. This visit the macaron shelf was filled with small individual cakes. We could not resist. We tried the carrot cake and red velvet cakes and I opted for a black and white cookie as well. Service was fast and the ladies at this shop are very amicable. I appreciate and value good service and this location is top notch. The store is clean and they have a drink station also. We will most definitely be coming back again. I just have to try the spritz cookies. I would like to perhaps get an assortment to try one of each.“

“this is my absolute favorite place to get macarons. jessica is such a gem, she informed me about all the flavors and was super sweet and even offered to sign me up for rewards for future purchases. great place & will definitely be returning!!“
“I have never been to Chip City before but I heard some ladies talking about it at work. So of course I HAD to go! I went in on the night before Christmas Eve to the store in Merrick and the sales associate was so sweet, helpful and easy to talk to. There weren’t many flavors to choose from as I went late in the evening. Everyone at dinner on Christmas Eve said these cookies were better than Crumble!“
“I live in Florida and was recently talking to my brother how you can’t get good crumb cake here. Entenmans is garbage and he told me about Brooklyn delight. I placed an order for four crumb cakes cakes and 12 muffins. Needed to try the crumb cake, Could not wait until the morning.I will say I’m New York City born and raised and have gotten great product from local bakeries for many years while living up there. This crumb cake is the very best I have ever had, haven’t tried the muffins yet but I’m hoping they be as good. Can’t get a good corn muffin down here so I’ll keeping my fingers crossed. I was concerned about the packaging and shipping. They did an absolutely great job. No damage to the product at all.“
“Wow! They had such a huge selection that I didn't even know where to start and everything made my mouth water. I bought a rainbow cookie bar and their last piece of brookie. I am a tough critic of brownies and very particular abt them. This one HIT.THE.SPOT! I never forget a good brownie spot. I could do without that dabble of chocolate frosting on top that holds the mini chocolate chip cookie in place but the brookie itself....wow. I knew I had to snag the last piece on display. Perfect crunchy fresh tasting edge and the middle was the perfect consistency of gooeyness and had a rich chocolate bite!! I was disappointed in the rainbow cookie bar though because the cake portion was dry :T The rest of their display looks pretty awesome and peaked my interest to want to try more of their items. I will definitely swing by again when I'm in the area next time!“
“Emily did an outstanding job making cookies in the shape of sailboats for my daughter n laws baby shower. Not only did the cookies resemble the sailboat on the invitations they also tasted delicious. Emily was so helpful and answering all my questions. I would definitely use her again for any bakery needs in the future. Thank you“
“I purchased 30 cannolis from here the other day. Brought em down to Virginia and my coworkers lost their minds. They were just as delicious as the cannolis I ate as a child in Westbury. Perfect texture and the shell was juuuust firm enough. Thank you.“
“Came here for a quick lunch during my break. After moving to Long Island it is quite difficult to find a Spanish restaurant. I found this restaurant on google. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted. There are some people behind the counter that speak English but they speak mostly Spanish. I do speak Spanish, but it was good to know that there are other people that can speak English, because I wanted to share this restaurant with my colleagues at work and they do not speak Spanish. Everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful. I ordered the special of the day which was caldo de res (beef soup)- there is an option to order it "Complete" which comes with rice topped with beef stew, macaroni salad, and plantain. I got a Colombiana soda to go with it and it was perfect!!! it was nice, clean, bright inside and the bakery is to die for. I didn't get to take pictures of the empanadas and pan de queso I bought, but it's a MUST have. I would love to try their cakes next time, it looked so good!! they have a whole pastry/bread section. Definitely recommend this place“
“Vins is a great mom and pop bakery owned by the same family that owned the best ever bakery. A few years back, the son vin took over and vamped it up a little.They offer some delicious cakes, pasties, and baked goods. The seven layer and mouse cakes are our favorite.They also have some great coffee at a nice price.They have monthly specials that feature certain cakes, loafs, and coffee.Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful.Overall, it's a nice wholesome bakery to try if you're in the area.“
