50 Best Bakeries near Middle Village

“For my daughter's sweet 16, she insisted on a specific cake in a specific color and size. NYC Birthday Cakes made her dream come true! The order process was extremely easy and I was able to provide a swatch so that they could match the color as best as possible. (color matching fondant is not easy - I've made cakes myself but didn't have the time now) We only had 40 people and 4 layers (6:, 8", 10" & 12") would have been too much cake. So, they made the top layer and bottom layer with a cake form instead of cake. The two middle layers were red velvet with cream cheese frosting and the vanilla with chocolate mousse. They were absolutely delicious!! The cake was delivered to the venue on time and as promised. These are truly professionals and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a special cake! (FYI - we bought the topper on our own)“

“Joe's Bakery is my favorite. Their made from scratch authentic Italian Bread is crunchy on the outside, chewy and airy on the inside. I really like their hearty Lemon Pepper Sourdough, Cinnamon Apple Loaf Cake, a variety of sinister danishes and of course, the cannoli, sfogliatella, tiramisu, cassata, and tons of cookies...“

“This is a very cute bakery. They have a good selection of Pastries and Cakes. I took home two Cassis Mousse. My mom and I enjoyed them very much. They also have Quiche, Bread and Cupcakes. The young man who works there was very nice. The prices are good.“

“My wife and I went to Panepinto Bakery today at around 9AM. One of few places open for holidays around Middle Village. We got Coffee, Bagels and a Sandwich. Exceptional service, employees consistently checked on our table which had made our breakfast enjoyable. So many delicious pastries to choose from. Definitely will be coming back.“

“We randomly came across this place after a diner we were heading to was full. I’m so glad that we had the opportunity to come here instead!

The food was amazing, the portion was more than enough and gave me plenty more to look forward to at home. Only downside was that the prices weren’t posted so I just hoped for the best. I also got a pastry for the next day and it still tasted very fresh.

The service was great, they were very kind and patient, an order or two was forgotten, but they were quick to fix it and were sincere. There’s only two of them working so it was very understanding, they were truly working hard to get us our meals.

I would definitely visit this place again when I’m in the neighborhood.“

“if you love SE Asian food lady Wong is the one to follow“

“Excellent donuts yummy. Best donuts I ever tasted!!“

“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😊😊“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“Ordered a custom birthday cake and it is so divine! Beautiful, delicious, and even yummy for breakfast the next day. Would absolutely order again, looking forward to stopping by the bakery in real life, but I highly recommend Clio for any custom cake needs! Impeccable detail and custom options. The whipped cream frosting is so delicious! Couldn’t have asked for a better cake or experience. Thank you!“

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.“

“Stopped there recently while visiting my daughter. Best Cafe Mocha I’ve ever had! Delicious croissants as well!“

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

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

“Best, creamy and tart key lime pie with perfect crust.“

“My family highly recommends Peter Pan Donut and Pastry Shop for your exceptional employees and fantastically delicious donuts!! Thank you for your hospitality and for making my granddaughter's birthday donut trip so special!! It was definitely worth the trip!! With Kristen Fulbrook 💕 🎂🍩💙“

“Really yummy polo BBQ pork buns at pretty decent prices!! Easily one of the best I’ve ever had, with that beautifully sweet, crispy topping and soft, fluffy bun.

But damnnn, the pork filling was practically 90% fat…. Definitely the fattiest BBQ pork bun I’ve ever eaten, which was a bit disappointing considering how good everything else was.

Still worth trying, but I do wish there was a better balance of meat and fat!“

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

“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.“

“Looking forward to my orders getting shipped“

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

“Radio Bakery is absolutely worth the hype! The pastries are incredible, with such beautiful layers, buttery textures, and amazing flavors. Everything feels thoughtfully made, and the quality really stands out. Definitely a must-visit for pastry lovers! A word of warning there will be a line.“

“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 👍“

“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!!“

“Marie is the absolute best. I asked her to make a cake for my birthday and my guests and myself have been talking about it ever since! I called Marie to tell her my vision and she helped me through it and made it even better, she's so kind and so open to collaborating. And not only that the flavor was INSANELY DELICIOUS. I am normally not a big cake person but it was the perfect balance of moist and creamy, the way I told her how I wanted it to be. I asked for vanilla frosting with chocolate inside, and a layer of praline cream. Highly recommend ordering from Marie for any occasion. I definitely will be doing that again soon.“

“I have been going here for years and absolutely love it. Service is always fabulous but today I was blown away. I ordered for pick up and was pulled into a meeting, causing me to come get my iced drink and hot sandwich 1 hour later than I was supposed to, leaving the drink melted and the breakfast sandwich cold. When I got there, Pedro didnt hesitate to offer to remake everything fresh for me. In a day where everything wasnt going my way, this gesture from him meant a lot to me.“

“OH MY GOSH i wish we had this where I live. Less than $3 for a HUGE 大包 (the “Big Bun”) in NYC?? Sooo good! Pork bun is also yummy <33 I’m gonna bring some home in my luggage LOL.
The place is cash or venmo only I believe. They also had mooncakes (unsure if it’s seasonal for October) and packaged Asian bread/pastries.“

“Coconut mochi is soo delish! I also loved the pumpkin spice latte! Amazing food and service, appreciate the server and owner answering all my dairy and gluten questions. I’m so glad they carry so many gluten free options. My son is dairy free and I wish there were more dairy free options too!“

“If you’re a tourist, stop here in China town. The nicest guy owns the business and is very patient and friendly to tourists. The sponge cakes were phenomenal and the Tai tea is insane good. 3 sponge, 2 teas, Gatorade, Coke, bottle of water…$19. Cheap! Great! Friendly! Strongly recommend supporting Thais mall family owned shop!“

“We had a wonderful visit! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by such friendly and welcoming staff. A special thank you to Ari and Gabby for their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine willingness to make sure we were happy with our meal. Their thoughtful customer service truly made a difference, and we left feeling very satisfied and appreciated.

It’s always a pleasure to meet people who genuinely care about their customers and take the time to make things right with kindness and a smile. Their thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate the care they showed us.

Thank you for making our visit such a positive one. We look forward to coming back again!“

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

“I stayed at a hotel next door and I am so happy I had a chance to come into Unregular Bakery. I’ve had many almond croissants and when I tried theirs.. it’s one of the best I’ve ever had!! I also got a regular croissant and their cute mini croissants on skewers YUM
I didn’t get her name but there was the nicest woman working in the morning yesterday 10/15! Whoever that was thank you for a great experience, I’ll definitely be back“

“Adorable place for a tea, coffee and pastry! Delicious for eating in or takeaway to sit and enjoy the views of the city just down the block“

“This has to be the best Burek in town.“

“excellent..and quality ingredients. My family has known this family business for decades..“

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

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

“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.“

“Sehr köstlich und empfehlenswert 😋“

“We were on a self-led cookie crawl to find the best chocolate chip cookie in New York City. This is a solid chocolate chip cookie. It is very thick and I believe it has milk chocolate chips (I am a semi sweet girl). If you heat up this cookie and top it with ice cream, it would be like a little mini pazookie. Although not my number one cookie, it was still delicious and worthy of trying.“

“Amazingly delicious treats! We loved the cloud cake and earl grey puff! It’s to die for! The teas we bought were amazing too! I only have one request, please open up a store in Chicago so I can enjoy your amazing treats more regularly!“

“Delicious bagels and not too expensive if you're just getting a bagel and cream cheese. I tried the cinnamon raisin with the goat cream cheese and it was SO good! Visited on a Saturday morning and it was packed but they move quickly. Grab a ticket as soon as you get in! There is no seating here, but they have two benches outside (that will likely be occupied if it's busy). They also sell coffee, chocolates, and other foods!“

“This is hands down my absolute favorite Crumbl location! They literally never disappoint. Every dessert I’ve gotten here has been absolutely perfect, fresh, delicious, and actually looks just like the photos on the app 😂. You can tell they really take their time with everything because the cookies always come out looking and tasting amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and I’ll happily keep coming back! 🍪💕“

“OMG...this IS the best sponge cake you'll have in NYC. I've had my fair share looking for one that compares to the original Kam Hing. The owner apprenticed with the original Kam Hing owner and finally opened his own cafe! Can't go wrong with the original flavor but the pandan coconut is sooooo goood! it's my new fav! This is my new go to place for sponge cakes!“

“Delicious cookies, you must try them when in NY. I recommend asking the staff to heat up the cookie if you are going to eat it in the moment. The chocolate chip cookie is great, worth the hype! The coffee was okay, not as good as I expected.“

“This place is a NYC gem. The people on here giving one star reviews don’t get Sullivan (or food) and have also just decided to purposely get their knickers in a twist. Everything is sourdough based. So, no, Italian tourist, it won’t taste like a run-of-the-mill croissant. It’ll be different (and in many cases better). You don’t think they have enough bread? They sell out because they bake small batch. It’s not Whole Foods. Ingredients are absolutely top notch which is why you feel zero bloat from this food. This is the United States Top ingredients cost a lot. If you don’t like that, show it in how you vote. Best tastes in town here!“

“It's been a hot hot hot minute since I came here after I moved to Long Island Suburbs. My son's big day today and I took a trip here to pick up my custom strawberry cake layered with their famous lightly sweetened freshly whipped cakes. When you step inside It's as if you step back in time. My mom first took me here when I was 11 or 12 and this place still look the same. The bakery captures a lot of customers from the surrounding businesses such as the hospital. It's great to see a flow a diverse crowd visiting this Gem. I also picked up half dozen curry beef pastry and their chicken rolls. I took a bite and taste just like my first time eating them in the 1990s when I was a little boy. When I want a good delicious healthier cake I come to Yeh's.“

“Excellent ice cream in a wide array flavors from the most conventional to surprising new ideas. Sparkling clean shop with professionally servers. Couldn’t have been more delighted with our visit.“
