“Authentic, mouth watering, Dominican food! Had the mofongo with shrimp, mofongo with chicharron, pork chop, white rice and beans, and the mango tres leche, everything was a 10/10! I don’t think you could go wrong ordering anything on the menu! The highlight was the atmosphere and the sweet owner who made us feel like home! You will not be disappointed!“
“This is a must try for all those with a bit of a sweet tooth. Their cupcakes are soooo good. The owner is such a nice person, and you can taste the love put into the food. Thank you for your generosity and kind spirit.Friendly neighborhood amazon delivery driver ?“
“Just the best traditional Italian bakery ever! Everything is absolutely delicious: from cookies to bread to cakes to pies to pastries. Friendly, efficient service, and they don't let their employees use their cell phones! You may wait a bit around the holidays, but well worth it.“
“It was clean and everyone who works there is nice. It is in a busy area traffic wise, but it is a great place for crussaunts and cookies. I do not recommend their lemonade though because it is very tart. But over all it is a great 4.6 star restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to all kids but in a traffic busy area of Malverne.“
“Fantastic location! My only suggestion is that some ice cream pods have a hint of mint flavor. Using distinct spatulas for each flavor during scooping could make a significant improvement. I hope the owners address this problem because their ice cream tastes great otherwise.“
“This bakery was my go-to for my wedding in 2012 after they were a smashing success at the engagement shower. Years later, my family is still talking about how phenomenal the desserts were. I had an over-the-top dessert hour - cookies, pastries, little tarts, different pies & cakes……plus the wedding cake. Just phenomenal. I hadn’t been here in a while, as I live far away, but went this past weekend to pick up a bunch of different desserts for a party - everything was delicious and I got rave reviews for having such awesome desserts! Anything I’ve ever had here has been just amazing. Highly recommend you try it - they will not disappoint!“
“I can’t say enough about Sydney Sweets! The services the most beautiful desert table for my daughters bridal shower. So many compliments to both the aesthetic and let alone how delicious treats! Our desert table was literally a back drop for so many photos! Thank you Sydney Sweets for making this special day memorable!“
“Only the BEST cream puffs EVER!!! Saw the great ratings so i decided to stop by and see if the pastries were worth it...Stopped by for a sampling - went back 3 more times for the cream puffs and assorted other pastries...It is THAT good!!! Haven't had such fresh melt in your mouth cream puffs in years!Their cannolis are even better!!!!If you're near Malverne - you have to make a stopover at this pastry shop!!!“
“Nice place, but waaaaaaaay over priced. $6 for carrots ? they're definitely taking advantage of the affluent neighborhood. Bought a small apple pie ($23) and it tasted good but it's like a jiffy pop popcorn, obnoxiously high crust so you can't cut a slice cleanly, definitely can NOT serve this to guests, impossible to plate (see pics) also a small 6" zucchini bread ($8.95) it was good.“
“A million stars! First, let me start by saying that I’ve never been to a bakery that entices you with the most delicious smell upon walking in! The bakery is gorgeous filled with lots of antique fixtures and vintage wallpaper. Everything has beautiful storage and you feel like you’re transported into a different time era. The staff is so nice and so accommodating. The maple scones are excellent! I’ve never had scones in my life that were so soft on the inside and perfection on the outside. They weren’t overtly sweet either which was perfect! The thumbprints are fantastic. The chocolate cookie sandwich was also excellent! I love that they offer various other deserts such as freshly- made cakes and coffees! I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to come again!“
“Great bakery with amazing sandwiches and pastries. Now they opened a meat restaurant next door!! I took my daughter to eat at Noir last night. Was really good! The plum salad with the citrus beet dressing was amazing. Like so fresh and we couldn’t get enough of that dressing!!! And I loved the shaved fennel salad too…my daughter doesn’t like fennel so, more for me!!! We shared the schnitzel because I heard it was the best and it was so yummy! perfectly crunchy and tasty and moist. The servers were friendly and attentive. The dining room filled up while we were there, on a random Tuesday!! And everyone seemed to be enjoying. Can’t wait to go back.“
“Went looking for a cup of coffee and found this place on Yelp. The problem with this place is ALL THE PASTRIES ! Everything looked so good and delicious. The staff was welcoming and I really enjoyed my double espresso and the other guests at my table had lattes the 2% was enjoyed and the oat version not as much but then again she never drinks oat mild so.... It's a small place with seating for eight so don't come here with a big group. We had an almond elclair and an apple turnover and they were great.“
“Been here twice already and I'll be coming back! I love supporting small family owned shops but it's easy here because the desserts/pastries here are delicious. The desserts are Filipino-inspired which is not commonly seen in this area. I've tried their basque cheesecake, ube donut, and their Bicho bicho, along with the ube foam iced coffee. I'm not even a big fan of ube but that recommended ube donut was a pleasant surprise. I'll be back to try their croissants :-)“
“Food is a bit pricey, however, the quality is totally worth it. The churrasco sandwich with those extra sauces they pack in every meal are AMAZING. On Sunday’s they include little extra breads with every order, which are freshly made and super delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Go try the empanadas as well! This place is very authentically Chilean.“
“Bread & Cocoa is the kind of local bakery that epitomizes excellence and makes you feel right at home. With a friendly atmosphere, the owner will probably recognize your face over time and and greet you name. The excellence of Bread & Cocoa's pastries makes it easy to understand why the locals keep coming back.I stopped in because I was working in the neighborhood and I needed a pick-me-up for my ride back to Manhattan. The pumpkin chocolate chip cake with a small coffee hit the spot. It was an amazing start to the day and made me appreciate why this bakery is such a neighborhood treasure. Bread & Cocoa is truly a special bakery that's worth checking out!“
“I came to Shaheen sweets of Queens on Friday to pick up some mithai for my friend's nikkah in the early morning.Just wanted to tell you how amazing your sweets are. Which is really an understatement...I personally do not like sweets but I couldn't stop eating the variety that you all had packed for me.Jazakallah!!May Allah swt continue to give u Barakah in all that you do.In Shaa Allah I will be back soon for some more mithai.The best mithai hands down!!!“
“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!“
“A taste from home. Some of the best pies I've had. The fillings both (savory and sweet) and crust are to die for. Also has other British groceries/treats. If you've never had british meat pie this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed.“
“Love the soft cookies and lil sis enjoyed the caramel drizzle brownies, top favorites with me and the fam is the chocolate chip cookie, cookie & cream cookie, buttercrunch, caramel apple oatmeal, red velvet cookie. Totally worth the visit ?“
“Always love popping into this coffee shop! The owner Abby is the sweetest, her coffee is spectacular. Amazing empanadas and other snacks as well as delicious baked goods. You always need to grab a little treat with your coffee. Great spot, definitely worth a try!“
“I heard that plum cakes are usually boring to eat. But after eating this yummy and fresh cake i could even say that no other cake can take its place. Really tasty? If you want to feel joyous and happy, you must try this Lovely plum cake. Wonderful Christmas special cake? NYCAKESNBITES?#musttryRanjith keep going?“
“This place looks very artsy on the outside, once you step inside you feel like you’re at home with the decor. There are two self serve kiosks which are really well designed and easy to use. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Definitely come here for authentic Korean street food.“
“I can’t stop visiting this place delicious desserts or nice stop for a nice cup of tea and a sandwich for a nice talk with friends. Love this place . Excellent service, the new cashier is very friendly well knowledgeable of the delicious treats in the store.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide doors“
“I love this place, I've been coming here for over 25 years. It reminds me of my child hood places in Chaves, and Lisbon. The coffee is the best and the people and service are excellent. This place keeps getting better and better. Este sítio é un spectaculo de boa gente i ambiance..“
“Hidden gem of Great Neck. Excellent quality and big variety. Really everything we tried was amazing. But you have to try his banana bread. The only thing you need to know: they work mostly on pre-orders and sold out early on many items. So best to come before noon or to order.“
“Best chocolate chip cookies, rye bread, and rolls. I always swing by when visiting Glen Cove. My grandparents lived on Red Spring Lane until the late 70's. My Dad and many of his cousins were fortunate to have the bakery just down the hill. My Dad often spoke of how the bakery was a pit stop on the way to Morgan's Park to get into various shenanigans. Please frequent this bakery, since it is so very old and very much part of the Landing's identity.“
“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.“
“I want to say the girl managing here is super helpful and always so positive. She happily made me 30 $5 gift cards for my son's class and the most amazing race car birthday cake. This did not used to be my "go to" Carvel even though I could walk here but it is now.“
“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.“
“My friend is an Islanders fan. What's near the arena? If you park a few blocks away, apparently this five-star place, and that just further tempts you to save those dollars for food instead of easier parking. I have never tried this particular cuisine before so this was an easy choice. With a nice small selection that makes it easy to choose, I went for a selection of Haitian Patties and a douce for dessert. So, for $6, I got a meal that filled me plus a dessert munch. I think for the amount you pay to park at UBC, you could buy an entire family dinner here! Now the food.* Patties: They were out of spinach so I had chicken, beef, herring, codfish. The difference in the two fish patties was subtle - I think the codfish is a little "whiter" tasting (in fish terms, less fishy and a little... more like flour?) but I could definitely tell there were two different patties. The chicken and beef were easier to tell apart. All had a unique balance of flavor that made them unmistakably Haitian and a great value. It only took a few minutes to heat up the patties that were made that same day and hand them over, too. So no delay for gameday.* Douce: A unique dessert, it's quite hard and crumbly to bite into, but isn't actually a crunch dessert. It gets a little softer and sticker as you get into it. Something totally outside North American cuisine but totally authentic and again, that unique Haitian flavor to it. I kinda wish I had tried all the flavors of this one too.Atmosphere is just a storefront, no eat-in. Service is very friendly and fast, and you do get a selection of other Haitian and Caribbean foods/drinks, not just the baked goods. Authentic, been here for a long time, and hopefully sticks around... forever. This'll be my go-to every Isles game I'm dragged to from now on!“
“Omg one of the best Haitian bakery I have visited. The Haitian pate so good, the bread as couldn't even wait to get home because of the smell I had to grab a bite.One thing I have to say I wish the lady at the cashier could have been nicer to customers. She was awful ?.“
“We have been longtime lovers of the IDC ever since living in RVC in 2000. We haven’t lived on Long Island or even anywhere close to NY for the last 20 years, and we had heard that they closed permanently and were heartbroken. It was by a quirk that upon returning to LI for a visit that we discovered the Bellmore location has remained open. YAY!!Today is my MIL’s 90th birthday, and we cannot be there. We ordered gelato delivery and, in the delivery instructions, asked that they try to make it as festive as possible. Jordan and his team did an incredible job and even wrote a kind note to us about the milestone birthday!! I’m totally bowled over by their generosity of spirit and attention to detail.5 stars all around to IDC - a cafe and team who clearly understand the meaning of family and celebrations!! Thank you for all of your efforts.“
“Today I purchased some cupcakes and they were phenomenal!! Highly recommend coming here for desserts. I have been wanting to try their stuff for a minute now and today I had a sweet tooth, and it was definitely exceptional. Definitely will be spreading the word and will be coming back.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I wanted to take the time and express how much this bakery made my two year olds birthday perfect. My daughter is obsessed with shrek the movie and we were so impressed and excited when we saw her cake. We requested a shrek cake, vanilla. Not only was it absolutely delicious but the resemblance is absolutely phenomenal. 5 stars! If you need anything - this is your place. Not only is everything fresh and delicious but there is true true talent here!“
“Excellent, responsive customer service that goes very well with the delicious cookies and other baked goods. We ordered cookies for a fundraiser at our school and they were a big hit. I would definitely recommend Mum’s Kitchens. They go above and beyond for their customers.“
“This is one of the best bakeries I have been to in multiple states, and I've been to a lot. It is an old-fashioned bakery that I remember from years ago. It has a huge selection of traditional baked goods that I can not find anywhere else I've been. Muffins and tea biscuits are outstanding. Would give it 10 stars if I could!!“
“Lovely store with many Middle Eastern goodies and the ABSOLUTE BEST BARBARI BREAD IN NY! We make the trip from Long Island often just for the perfectly baked, authentic and delicious bread. The owners are wonderful and shopping in this store is always a pleasant experience.“
“Stopped in here today for the first time. Everything I ordered tasted fresh and so delicious. It's so cute inside and the display of all the pastries is mouth watering. Friendly staff as well! I'll definitely be back. BTW, the rainbow cookies are soooo good!“
“Had an amazing time there as the owner is so personable and aims to have a “small cafe in Connecticut kind of feel” which I definitely got. She really works to personalize your orders and is willing to try new recipes. I got the chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake, apple cinnamon muffins, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies , double chocolate cookies, and bloodies which all tasted incredible! I highly recommend anyone with a special diet whether it be gluten (which she has a separate area of the kitchen for), vegan, kosher, etc. this is your place!“
“Dortoni Bakery was amazing to work with for our wedding. They were our preferred vendor through our venue and we were not disappointed! Our tasting was seamless and reasonably priced for our extras. We chose funfetti cake with vanilla cream and strawberry filling and it was to die for! They were even kind enough to give us a voucher for a free small cake for our one year wedding anniversary so we didn’t have to freeze our original one, we did anyway because it was just so good! Definitely recommend Dortoni for all your cakes and baked goods.“
“These are the best cookies, they always satisfy my sweet tooth! Menu is always creative with great variety, and I look forward to the new menu every Sunday! The store is clean, the staff is professional, and courteous, as well as very friendly and “
“I’ve been going to this bakery for 25+ years. They have changed a few things but the quality is still there. Their cannolis and some other pastries are amazing. Even their cookie selection is excellent. I have moved from Long Island but this is a must stop on my way back “home”.“
“A family staple, we go here for every bulk order of Pate & Bread. Service is standard, no complaints. It's not a sit and eat establishment. Foods always been on point. Like most Haitian spots I wish the Pate had more filling, but if you know, you know.“
“Allison baked and decorated the most beautiful birthday Cake for my daughters underwater / mermaid themed birthday party. This was a pull apart cupcake with yummy delicious flavors and just as tasty as it was beautiful. In my heart I didn't want anyone to eat it - it was so beautiful lol. The cupcakes had various flavors- they give you many options. Check them out. This will forever be my go to place for delicious cakes and desserts.“
“Reputation well deserved as patissier. I visited on the way to Auburndale train station to ask about birthday cakes and deserts, to see if they were customizable. EVERYTHING is handmade, and they really are perfectly sweet. The cake was pre ordered for my mom on her 59th birthday, she loved it. Highly recommend for people who loves quality desserts.“
“Anita is exceptional. Her cakes and desserts were delicious and a highlight of my sister’s baby shower. She’s professional, thorough and attentive. Anita’s email and number have a permanent home in my contacts. Do yourself a favor and book with her.“
“As far as my husband and I are concerned one of the best, if not the best bakery. Been stopping by for years and never had a complaint. We had apple pie, chocolate babkah, various Danish, cookies. I love the chocolate cigars. Staff is always pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy they are. If it is a holiday, go early or reserve ahead of time.“
“My prayers were answered when I found orwashers! Great little bakery with bfast sandwiches, lunch fare and pastries. Love their honey apple muffins and brownies! Got to experience their babka, rugelach, bagel with smear, and egg sandwiches. Not a bad thing yet! Place feels super clean and staff are kind. Prices are a tad steep but the quality is there, so hard to complain!“
