“I wanted to update my review after hearing directly from the owner. I appreciate him taking the time to personally reach out, review what happened, and acknowledge my concerns. It means a lot when a business owner takes customer feedback seriously and is willing to have a genuine conversation.

We chose Rolling Pin Bakery because our wedding package included this bakery as an option, and after our tasting, we preferred their cake over the other choice. I want to emphasize that the cake itself was wonderful—it looked beautiful, tasted great, and was delivered on time. The decorators did an excellent job, and we were happy with the final product.

My original concerns were not about the cake, but about the communication experience leading up to our wedding. As the wedding got closer, we reached out to confirm that everything was set. Having reassurance and confidence in those final details is incredibly important when planning such a meaningful day.

On the morning of our wedding, after not receiving a response to our check-in email & call a few days prior, we called because we wanted to make sure everything was on track. During that conversation, we learned there had been an issue with our paperwork. Thankfully, the bakery did have our cake scheduled and everything came together, but hearing that information during such an important and emotional time created unnecessary stress. We were at the point of discussing whether we needed a backup plan, which is not something any couple wants to be thinking about the morning of their wedding.

Thankfully, everything ultimately worked out. We are truly grateful for the work that went into creating such a special part of our wedding day.

After speaking with the owner, I appreciate his acknowledgment that the communication could have been handled differently and that a simple reassurance would have made a significant difference. I believe feedback is valuable when it helps businesses improve, and I appreciate that he was willing to listen and take the time to understand my perspective.

I am updating this review from 2 stars to 4 stars because of the way the owner handled my concerns after the fact. His willingness to personally reach out, acknowledge where things could have been better, and have a respectful conversation reflects the kind of customer care I hope businesses strive for. While my original concerns remain valid, I also believe businesses should be recognized when they take accountability and make an effort to improve.

Overall, we enjoyed our cake and appreciate Rolling Pin Bakery being part of our special day. My hope is that future couples have both the beautiful final product we received and the communication and reassurance that make the entire experience as stress-free and enjoyable as it should be.“

“As a person who loves pastries, this was by FAR the best place I’ve been to. The cakes were soft, just the right amount of sweet, and the cream was perfect. The service was amazing as well, staff helped me locate exactly what I needed, they were energetic, kind, and helpful.“

“I stop for coffee and ham/egg/cheese on a biscuit several days a week. The coffee is delicious, so is the Raspberry Lemon hot tea! Just as important, the entire staff is personable, genuine, and it’s always a pleasant and perfect experience. Jeff is a wonderful human being. He was very supportive with a fundraising campaign I am very passionate about; one that will help youth in our community. That showed me how much Jeff and Sweetwaters West Main matters for Smithtown!“

“I absolutely treasure this Bakery! The owner’s are so kind and welcoming. Everything that I’ve purchased has been a big hit at parties and dinner’s, especially the cheesecake!“

“I used Fritzsche's as the baker for my wedding cake and they were fantastic to work with! The cake was so delicious and gorgeously decorated. It had 3 tiers; 2 vanilla cake tiers with strawberry mousse and 1 chocolate cake tier with chocolate mousse, with a buttercream frosting on the outside of it. All of our guests loved the cake and everyone was asking who our baker was. I'm so happy we decided to go with my hometown's baker as our wedding cake baker! Thanks so much!“

“🍞🥖🍳🥪🥞🍜🥟🍲🍛🥘🥙🍤🍨🍰🧁🥧🍩🎂 Excelente 😀😀“

“Literally the only deli in Kings Park, Smithtown, and Commack that has consistently given me a great Bacon Egg and Cheese for the last 5 years. With shrinkflation every nearby deli has given me nothing short of a pathetic meal. Not the Bagel King in KP though! Thanks ?“

“(Translated by Google) The bread is super fresh, and really good qualityI love the bread here, super fresh and delicious bread ?(Original)The bread is super fresh, and really good qualityMe encanta el pan de aqui super super fresco y una deliciura de pan ?“

“Its a grab and go place/ pick your own food. You pick what you want and then pay. Everything was labeled and clean establishment. Small seating area and plenty of parking. Upon check out nice girl asked if we need anything else or if we needed coffee or shakes.“

“OMG. SO DELICIOUS. GO OFTEN. CHEESE DANISH TO DIE FOR. MARBLE/POUND CAKE TO DIE FOR.“

“they have an amazing worker in there. Picked up a party tray Friday the 21st she asked if it was for a party. I said no my grandma had just passed away and family was in from out of state/country so i offered to bring pretzels. I said we would have celebrated her 91st birthday today and she said you know everyone on their birthday gets a free pretzel. She said for this particular pretzel why not everyone take a little piece so it’s like she’s there celebrating with you. That worker without knowing how much I’ve been hurting made me smile and feel a little lighter. thank you for making a hard time in someones life just a little better by your words and actions great establishment besides food“

“Probably the best Milk Tea with Boba I’ve ever had so far. I got the crème brûlée brown sugar milk tea and a slice of their rainbow cake. This place is my new addiction. 5 stars for sure!“

“I had such high hopes for this gingerbread house. I mean, come on—it’s Christmas Eve, the vibes are immaculate, I’ve got my playlist of Mariah Carey on repeat, and I’m ready to channel my inner architectural genius. I carefully assembled the walls with what I thought was “premium” royal icing (spoiler: it was basically sugary Elmer’s glue). Looked sturdy enough at first. Cute little windows outlined in yellow, a sprinkle roof that screamed “holiday cheer.” I even added a gummy candy garden for that extra Pinterest touch. But then… ambition struck. The roof. Oh, the roof. That heavy, candy-laden beast of a gingerbread slab. I slathered on extra icing for reinforcement, but it wasn’t enough. The whole thing started sagging like a bad facelift. Desperate times called for desperate measures, so I grabbed the Nutella—because nothing says “structural integrity” like chocolate-hazelnut spread, right? I basically mortared the roof on with a thick layer of that glorious goo. For a brief, shining moment, it held. And then… catastrophe. The roof caved in with a tragic crunch, sending gummy bears flying like fleeing villagers. Walls buckled. Icing cracked. And there, in the wreckage, lies the smoking gun: a gingerbread T-Rex, smugly perched atop the rubble with its little candy eyes judging me. Clearly, this prehistoric monster snuck in during the night (or, you know, during my five-minute bathroom break) and went full Jurassic Park on my masterpiece. Look at it—head tilted, arms outstretched like “Who, me?” while the house lies in ruins beneath its feet. The Nutella? It just added a delicious, humiliating glue to the crime scene. Looks like after his scrumptious meal, the T-Rex marked his territory with a colosal dump!“

“Absolutely love this place ,highly recommend ,owner is very generous and an amazing individual ,the best bakery in our town,friendly staff ,everything baked here is always fresh .💯❤️🥰👍🏼🎂“

“As soon as I walked in, I was immediately welcomed and helped very attentively. Amazing customer service and environment is very comforting. Store is very clean and upkept. And food is even better. I mean they have so many cool creations. Definitely recommend choosing this as your go-to bagel spot if you’re near by!“

“Best carrot cake anywhere around!“

“Beautiful and delicious! Everyone loved these gorgeous cupcakes.“

“As longtime Islip residents we support our local business. The customer service is excellent. Clean with tables to sit and enjoy a fresh made bagel or sandwich for lunch. Prices are reasonable on the menu boards with many choices displayed. Highly recommended if you want fast friendly service without waiting on long lines elsewhere. Joey and Linda DeCarmine“

“This place is a gem, my family and I love this place. We have been coming since they opened, and it never disappoints. We love the cakes, tarts, and variety of desserts and we never leave without having an empanada. The staff is always very friendly and their service is always fast. Cute place to have some coffee.“
