50 Best Bakeries near Oakland Gardens

“I am not Middle Eastern but for this Thanksgiving I stopped in here to buy desserts for the family and try something different this holiday. Well, Everyone loved the cookies , baklava, honey covered sweets, and breads. It was a terrific hit, obviously freshly made, and all for a good price. Everyone especially liked trying a new type of dessert this year. This bakery is nestled in Queens’ Armenian community and in my view obviously serves the local Armenian community with ethnic baked goods, assuring a high level of overall quality.“

“Freshly baked~~“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“I stumbled on this little bakery a while ago and now it’s one of my go-to spots. The same sweet lady is always behind the counter, and she makes the place feel so welcoming. Their specialty is the pan de bono, Colombian cheese bread that’s soft, slightly sweet, and absolutely perfect when it’s hot. We had to wait a few minutes for a fresh batch today, and it was completely worth it. They came out warm from the oven, and I took one up the mountain after my hike, the best reward! Definitely a neighborhood gem.“

“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.“

“We were visiting from Chicago and they were so friendly. The mithai was very fresh! The best I’ve had in the US in fact. We brought home some boxes of mixed mithai for our family and they loved it too.“

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“love this place! the people are very nice and friendly“

“The pasties are delicious and I had the green mango and pineapple tea so good! Everything is very fresh! I bought a swirl strawberry bread 🍞 delicious as well! My friend tried the Hong Kong tea and said it was the best she ever had!“

“SHAKALAKA Bakery in Flushing is one of the more visually polished modern Chinese bakeries in the area and a reliable stop if you’re looking for cakes, pastries, or grab-and-go sweets that feel a bit more updated compared to traditional bakeries nearby.

The mango-based cakes are the most consistent thing here. They’re light, creamy, and built around fresh fruit rather than overly heavy frosting, which makes them easy to finish even after a full meal. The matcha cake also works well, leaning more milky than bitter, with a soft sponge that holds its structure without feeling dry. The pork floss cakes are one of the more interesting savory-sweet options, and they’re better than expected if you’re used to standard bakery versions since they don’t go overboard on sweetness.

The croissants and egg tarts are solid supporting items rather than the main reason to come. The croissants are flaky with a noticeable butter layer, and the egg tarts are best when eaten warm since the custard tightens up when cold. The purple rice desserts are heavier but work if you want something more filling and texturally different from the fruit cakes.

Service is generally efficient even when the bakery is busy, and the layout is set up for quick selection rather than lingering. Prices sit a bit higher than older-style Flushing bakeries, but the tradeoff is cleaner presentation, more modern flavor combinations, and consistently fresh-looking cakes.“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“Crepe House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with great quality ingredients. The crepes are amazing, and the service is always friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Omar, who always provides excellent customer service and makes every visit a great experience.“

“First time at Leonetti. Loved the place, the layout and open space of the sitting area, the way they have their cakes placed inside the fridge, not overcrowded and are able to appreciate the beauty of the cakes. Everything looked amazing and very clean. I really recommend Leonetti to anyone in the area or just passing by!“

“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.“

“their mini's are just so good. good enuff that you don't even miss the crust.“

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

“This place is wonderful that I stumbled upon it a couple months ago and I have been coming back weekly ever since. I have yet to have a drink I didn’t like here and the same goes for their desserts.

The cinnamon rolls? So sweet and indulgent, they come in packs of two so it’s perfect for those who wanna share an order.

The croissants? Buttery, flaky, everything you want in a croissant is how they make it here. Plus they have different fillings if you don’t want a plain croissant.

The desserts? They are RICH. I can buy one and have it in the fridge for two or three days, all you need is a spoon or two and you’re good to go. Even buying one of the bite sized ones instead is what I tend to do sometimes because all you need is one bite and you’re good. Plus the bite sizes have the different flavors as well, they did some cereal flavors recently and it was AMAZING!

Also the staff are so nice and polite. I have a mom with diabetes who comes here and they constantly warn her if something is too sweet and have her taste her drinks to see what they can add for her. They remember the little things and that makes it easier to converse with them.“

“I love Zeppieri's Bakery. The lobster tails are the best and they make seasonal cupcakes and cookies that are out of this world. The bread is the absolute best!!!! The ladies at the counter are kind, even when super busy, polite and knowledgable always cheerful and sweet. I adore this neighborhood gem!“

“Is this place an amazing Mexican joint, yes, do I wish I lived in New York so I could forget about this place find it again and have my taste buds blown off their …. Tuckus. Yes yes I do. Worth the stop. Empanadas so so good. Short ribs absolutely. Random menu item sure it’s gonna be amazing. Do it you won’t regret it.“

“Always such a sweet time to visit this bakery! Their open space allows you to see behind the scenes to their made-with-love goods. Staff is so friendly too! I recommend the ube cheescake and any savory goods they may have that day- I miss their sandwiches“

Yes this nice little spot with great prices, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. It’s also cash only, so come prepared.. but it’s 100% worth it for how good everything is.“

“Madonia brothers bakery was excellent to try the staff was friendly and helpful and management could not do enough to help me out the customer service excellent and the bread rolls cakes slices pies and sausage are fresh made every day and melt in your mouth“

“Very nice cookies that taste splendid! However the staff could be a little more enthusiastic (referring to the ones that have worked there for a while, I get it can be tiring to put on a smiley face for each customer that walks in, but you are getting paid to do it and it makes their experience 10x better!). So, there are many new employees who are very welcoming and kind!“

“This place is absolutely beautiful, My cake was done exactly how I show them, (The crown I added) this cake was so good everyone wanted to know where I got it from, it was fresh and soft and not too sweet just perfect. The birthday girl enjoyed this ❤“

“I’ve been coming here for many years. Love the fresh hot bagels when it comes right out of the oven. The menu option is vast, and definitely can’t get to taste every single item on it, (even though I it’s very tempting to try it all). Try it at least once, you will be coming back for more.“

“Chip city is insane !! They are such a caring company to donate to the NYC Ronald McDonald house. I was honored to have tasted a cookie (or 2) and was blown away. Absolutely amazing love for their community. Thank you Chip City !“

“Excellent baked goods. Delicious pastry and the CANOLI“

“Experience was great!“

“We had the best experience ever with this bakery - the cake was included in our venue pricing through this bakery, and I can definitely see why! Working with Alison to schedule and have our tasting, which was just down right fun...(because of COVID we had to take our samples home... and she loaded us up with some extras to share with friends) to showing her our vision for the cake on the day of, and then actually SEEING and EATING it at our wedding was perfect all the way through. They really incorporated everything we asked for, and it was simply delicious!!! We even asked for an extra birthday cupcake for our nephew to have on the day of the wedding, and they made it sooo cute! (wish I could figure out how to add a picture here... It was SO pretty!!!)“

“What a special patissserie and boulangerie ! Every variety of French pastry, sandwich and bread is the finest you can buy anywhere. Their coffe beverages are also excellent. The multigrain loaf disappears quickly with loads of butter. Yum !“

“they have sooo many delicious drinks here! I have to keep coming back to try everything. they are on sweeter side, so if you like less sweet just ask them, baristas are very friendly! the only cafe I have found to serve a sweet potato latte and mugwort latte. However their matcha quality is not great.

their pastries selection is as wide as their drink menu, so many to try and all delicious! I love the mochi loaf, mochi cookies, lemon loaf and black sesame croissant. they have rotating sweet and savory options, always changing and always delicious :)

very spacious upstairs and even an outdoor deck, outlets and a bathroom. great place to lock in and get work done with delicious drinks and snacks!“

“Truly exceptional customer service! All of the staff members are so kind and energetic and offer wonderful recommendations on which flavors to try. Everyone was so patient, especially Jonathan, who in my opinion deserves a raise due to his welcoming attitude and care for customer!“

“Having Italian Grandparents and mother, they always had cookies and Struffoli around their house in Jersey during Christmas. I’m so thankful to have found Artuso’s! Their cookies and Struffoli are awesome. Artuso’s has helped bring back memories! Thank y’all! A very satisfied North Carolina family! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄“

“Staff is very friendly, love the coffee!“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“I ordered a gluten-free cake for my son’s 4th birthday, and it was an absolute hit! Not only was it delicious, but every guest at the party kept asking where I got it from. The cake was moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented—proof that gluten-free can be just as indulgent as any other cake. It made the celebration extra special, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cake that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary restrictions“

“Me encantan desde años mis favoritos“

“I don’t think there is anything that I don’t love here. Beautiful, fresh, delicious pastries is all you will find here.

“This is my go-to bagel shop. I usually come for the breakfast wrap—it’s so delicious that I keep coming back, and at this point they already know my order when I walk in. Great food, friendly staff, and always a reliable favorite. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Adorable (and delicious) cookies that were individually wrapped and given as favors. Highly recommend“

“I am a Paris baguette regular however this is not the store I usually go to. I must say the gentleman that took my order was the most kindest person I've ever dealt with. And it was not only with me he was just genuinely kind every single customer. As I'm sitting here eating my food I am so pleased with how pleasant he is. It is 1:00 p.m. July 7th I wasn't having the greatest day and seeing and hearing him made my day 🙏 keep up the good work 👍and I hope he gets recognized.
He didn't even know I was taking a photo of him. He just genuinely smiles like that to everybody. So pleasant 🙏🙏“
