Custom Cakes in New York, NY

“Adult bakery. Snooty atmosphere. Staff nicer in recent years“

“This review is a long time coming. Bill, made one of the best cakes I've ever seen for the US Open. Such a pleasure to work with and his creation was amazing! Would definitely use his services again.“

“OMG! I am not exaggerating when I say the cake I received was not short of amazing. Chocolate Devil's Food with Raspberry buttercream. Tangy Raspberry preserves made from scratch by Jaclyn as well between the layers. Everyone who ate a piece of my birthday cake could not be more satisfied with the level of artistry in the decoration as well as the execution of the taste of the cake itself. I don't think I can go back to buying store bought cakes. They would just fail in comparison!“

“Amazing customer service, amazing cakes..so happy that we found you.“

“This is a beautiful, refreshing place with warm and friendly service. In short, a little sweet gem of Upper Manhattan. Definitely the best banana pudding I’ve ever had. I recommend that all sweet-tooths visit this lovely spot, as they have a wide variety of colorful desserts where you can’t decide which one is better than the other.“

“A great ice cream shop open late to satisfy your munchies and late night sweet tooth cravings. I could not be happier with what i got, i think it was the strawberry cheesecake of some sort. It was really nice though, and they definitely do not skimp on the toppings!!“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“Esteban is THE BEST. The arepas are great, sure. But come and sit down and chat with the owner who will take the best care of you, make you feel like family, and make you laugh a little too. Great little spot in the LES for a late night bite. Don’t sleep on this place!

Vegetarian options: Vegana, Gato, Quiches, Turnovers“

“Got the popular pistachio raspberry cake slice and the mango passion fruit mousse cake. They were both great. The cake slice looks slim but is quite filling. The mango passionfruit mousse had a coconut base which was a little too sweet but the tanginess from the mousse balanced it well. Overall, it’s a decent spot to go to for those sweet cravings.“

“I love By the Way Bakery since I discovered it couple of years ago. Friendly staff, many choices and the guarantee that I will not get sick when I buy anything from here. I am obsessed with the coconut cake and the carrot cake.

Dietary restrictions: All gluten free, dairy free and vegan.“

“My sister was having a beach chic baby shower because her and her husband do not want to know the gender. She wanted cupcakes that looked like succulents that also taste delicious. I immediately thought of Huascar and asked if he could do it. I traveled to Florida with them and they were a hit. I can’t describe how beautiful they look and I can tell you the taste of theses cupcakes were out of this world. Everyone was contacting my sister afterwards to see where she’d got them. 😋😋😋“

“I chanced upon Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream after iftar with a friend and decided to be adventurous—trying the Pineapple and Salted Egg Ice Cream. No regrets! The flavor instantly reminded me of the Taiwanese Pineapple Tarts my mother used to make, bringing a sense of home in every bite. The ice cream was creamy, rich in pineapple flavor, with salted egg crumbs adding a delightful savory contrast. It was absolutely divine!

Now, I’m even more excited to return and try their Takis-flavored ice cream next. Can’t wait!“

“Have been meaning to try this place out and it was great. Tried four different cupcakes, mini carrot loaf and two cookies. My family loved it all. So pretty too. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Love the friendliness inside!!“

“I have been buying this cake for years . I love the red velvet. It would be 5 stars if the frosting was not so extremely sweet that it is inedible. It is so unfortunate as I love the cake and have to east around the frosting because it is sooooo sweet it gives me a headache. Dang...If you can deal with EXTREME sweetness, I recommend.“

“Everything offered is delicious and beautiful“

“My absolute favorite yellow cake 🎂 with chocolate 🍫 frosting taste homemade and made with love. Definitely, will be ordering from LaSweetsNY for my next celebration. Support small business and I enjoy buying Black. (A+). Met the owner yesterday. Though the store hours have changed to opening at 11am, she permitted to make my purchase. Ms. L, was welcoming, sincere and a precious soul. Thank you Ms. L. Verrie“

“Red Gate Bakery is an experience that brings me back to loving life when it gets me down, when a hangover breaks me and/or when i want to experience heaven on earth. These unique concoctions are a once in a lifetime experience, unless you visit them weekly, which is recommended. While other bakeries get a lot of fame, these desserts are perfectly balanced so that you can eat them without feeling over-sugared. Go here. Be happy. You're welcome.“

“Siiii!!! Me encanta lo que hacen!! Sigan asi!! Saludos desde ARGENTINA!! 😃😃“

“Amazing, Always Ready for Anything and Delicious Cakes!“

“These desserts were scrumptious!“

“These desserts were scrumptious!“

“I recently went to this Subway and Carvel and had a great time. The staff were super friendly, and the sandwiches were fresh and tasty. The Carvel side had delicious ice cream and awesome customized cakes. The place was clean and inviting after the remodeling.“

“A $ for egg custard & is good 👍“

“This was my first order from this vegan establishment. The cake was like a pound cake in style with "butter" cream icing. It was fresh, but without a distinctive flavor. In contrast gingerbread cookies on top were top notch! #Veganuary NOTE: this is not a retail shop, you order and pick up or have it delivered. Updated from previous review on 2024-12-22“

“Always the best Mille crepe ❤️❤️❤️“

“Such a gem on Broadway. I came in and was met with sweet smelling aromas of sweets & treats! The cashier was super friendly & I ended up getting Cookies and Cream w.Reese’s Pieces. I really had a nice afternoon treat waiting for my Uber. Will return soon with the hot weather approaching for a nice chill spot with delicious ice cream.They even had my favorite flavor, Milk & Cookies in stock.“

“Was greeted right away as I entered! Shop felt very tidy. Vivi and Teresa made me feel welcome and answered my questions I had on the cakes definitely coming back! All time favorites are purple yam, pistachio, and courenne de chocolat !!!!!“

“I've been buying from Maritza Cakes for over 20 years, and they truly have the best Dominican Cake, which is soft, fresh, and has just the right amount of sugar. My favorite is 'tres leche', which I've been ordering for years, and my friends and family love it. ❤️ I would give a Million Stars if I could‼️“

“OMG What can I say, for someone who loves ice cream I felt I had died and gone to heaven.“

“Pistachio crepe cake was very delicious! The strawberry matcha was alright.

My friend’s cutlery was sticky… and both of our plates had water droplets around the cake..? I had to clean that myself. If you’re dining in, it doesn’t really feel like a restaurant, they don’t come to you first, at some point there was no one behind the counter for a while.

Albeit expensive when you dine in ($15) per slice final total, still worth it once a while for pistachio crepe cake, just get take out.“

“Stopped by Cold stone for a late night treat. Tried a combination of the mint flavor and sweet cream flavors with chocolate chips and brownie pieces as my chosen mix ins. The final result was a rich and smooth variation of mint chocolate chip with a creamier and fudgey taste. The man who was working the counter was quick to take care of our order and was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Very pleased with the experience and the ice cream itself.“

“I recommend the Cherry 🍒 Garcia with Chunky Monkey 🐵!!!“

“I went a few months ago. The server was super friendly and kind- extremely patient and helpful. I got a slice of the raspberry crepe cake I believe. It was so yummy and perfectly tart balancing the sweetness from the crème and the crepes. It’s a little pricier than I would like, but for the location and quality, the price is expected.“

“My guests and I were delighted with the cake. Everything was perfect; from the design, the mass, and how well they executed the gender reveal (it will be a little princess 🙏🏼 💖) They truly exceeded my expectations! Thank you very much, and many blessings to 5 Estrellas Bakery 🙏🏼“

“I don’t understand the negative reviews! I gave the lovely gentleman a picture of a 2 tiered cake I wanted to replicate. They made it in less than one week and it is BEAUTIFUL. Not only that but it tastes delicious! I will be a customer for years to come!“

“BEST black and whites anywhere!“
