Custom Cakes in New York, NY

“I seriously can’t say enough good things about this bakery! The second I walked in, I was already obsessed with how cute and cozy it was. The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful, and honestly, I wanted to move in. 😂 You can tell everyone who works there puts so much love and hard work into everything they make. The cakes are actual works of art—I almost felt guilty cutting into mine… almost. 😅 They looked incredible and somehow tasted even better. The staff was so friendly and welcoming that it felt like they genuinely wanted you there, which is rare these days. If you’re looking for a bakery that’ll make your taste buds happy and your camera roll even happier, this is the place. The chocolate is that damn good! Just be warned… you’ll probably leave with more treats than you planned. (No regrets though!)“

“Really pretty and delicious sweets 🫶 the chocolate chip cookie was yummy, had a nice texture, and a perfect salty-sweet-chocolate flavor. The carrot cake (which was gluten free too btw) was so yum! Would love to try more (especially the mini cakes)“

“Great cupcakes and excellent service!“

“I’m honestly obsessed with these cookies. They are incredibly delicious and so appetizing. What I love the most is that I’m usually not into sweets at all, but these are just perfect.

They’re not overly sweet — just the right balance. The almond flavor is so rich and comforting, and the cherry adds this slight sour touch that makes everything come together beautifully. It’s such an amazing combination.

I genuinely fell in love with these cookies from the first bite. Absolutely incredible. Thank you for creating something this good — truly impressive!“

“ tried their pistachio soft serve ice cream. Not overly sweet. They have regular ice cream and other types of soft serve. Lots of toppings to choose from. There are ice cream cakes for sale too.

server was friendly

mostly a takeout place with a couple of benches to sit outside“

“I was a bride from a distance and used this bakery for my wedding day, and I’m so glad I did! Their cupcakes were absolutely decadent—so delicious you truly couldn’t stop eating them. The frosting was light and not overly heavy, and the cake itself was hands-down the best. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and perfectly made. I would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding desserts or cupcakes that wow your guests!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I can finally have birthday cake again!
I'm lactose intolerant and am on a low-fodmap diet! I haven't been able to get birthday cake I can actually eat for several years now! I'm sooooo glad I found you guys!
The lady at the counter was super nice and showed me what pastries you had. I'm definitely coming back again next time I need a treat!“

“Besides the beautiful presentation, these cakes taste amazing!! They are moist, fluffy and the perfect amount of sweetness. I ordered the yellow cake, triple chocolate and the strawberry swirl and I am in love!! I really appreciate that Gardner's Gourtment clearly makes completely homemade cakes and luscious frosting.“

“These desserts were scrumptious!“

“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.“

“My partner and I are getting married and having our cake made here. I'm vegan and gluten-free and this company made my 50th birthday cake. It was tremendous! And it was a no brainer that we'd select them for our wedding cake!
They were prompt with responses and detailed in their information sharing.“

“Rlauchemy made my experience at cold Stone, extremely enjoyable! The team was quick and efficient with my request, and was understanding of what we wanted on our ice cream cones! The establishment was clean, no way, and ice cream was fresh. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend!!!“

“Always the best Mille crepe ❤️❤️❤️“

“This is by far the best cake that I have had in New York City since moving here a decade ago and I’ve had them all….trust me. The flavors are real and authentic and not played up like most of the bakeries in New York.“

“I haven’t visited this bakery since 2011 was told its ran by new people. only went there before for the 3 leches cake. Passed by today for one got home ate a lil and was mind blown 🤯 I’m surprised to see bad reviews 😵‍💫 once I googled to leave review. Barely do this. Lady was really welcoming and nice. Thank you.“

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

“Absolutely phenomenal! The signature mille crepes are great, as well as the tiramisu! However, if you’re reading this, GET THE CHEESECAKE! I just so happened to try it on a whim when I saw it as an option and I’m beyond glad that I did! So decadent and rich, but also has this way of melting in your mouth. Hands down some of the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in the city. Highly recommend this place and will absolutely be back!“

“I ordered Lady M cakes for a company event and everything was just perfect. The cakes were so divine and delicious. Everyone loved the cakes. The staff was great with all of my needs. The customer service is 5 stars just like their cake. Anytime I want to make an impression, it's Lady M, 100%.“

“Although the presentation only looks good from one angle (bald spot in the back etc. SMH) the cake taste delicious not too sweet just right the blue frosting had everyone’s lips blue tho it didn’t taste like dye the guava filling was on point we truly enjoyed it. The total for the cake was $80 and it was ready on the date and time I requested. Would recommend just don’t get any pictures on your cake they need to get their skills up. The passion fruit dessert is a go as well.“

“I had been craving a Cuban sandwich and a fresh-squeezed orange juice for a while. After finishing my overnight shift, I decided to take a walk and stop by this bakery for breakfast. The place was clean, reasonably priced, and had a small seating area. Instead of heading straight home, I decided to sit and enjoy my breakfast there.

The Cuban sandwich and fresh orange juice hit the spot! My only advice is to be patient, as the place can get busy. However, the ladies behind the counter are friendly, efficient, and keep the line moving quickly. Even during the rush, you’ll be in and out before you know it. Highly recommend! 😊🍊🥪“

“Loved the crepe cake!!! Amazing!!“

“BEST black and whites anywhere!“
