21 Best Bakeries near Slingerlands

“Our favorite bakery to go to! They’re the sweetest in service, have amazing food, and such a cute place to sit and enjoy. Love to order a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant. Best bacon I’ve ever had and the butter from the croissant makes it so good!“

“Love this cute bagel shop! Every time I have come, the bagels have been fresh and delicious. I’m a cream cheese gal (who isn’t, though) and theirs is REALLY good with several flavor options. Everyone who works there is friendly and greets you with a smile. Today I ordered a latte and the girl working the counter suggested I try their buttered popcorn flavor if I am feeling adventurous, so I did. So good! I greatly appreciated the suggestion since she could tell I was having a hard time deciding, haha. All in all, definitely recommend this spot.“

“Cheesecake Machismo has truly transformed the traditional cheesecake. Their incredibly deep selection changes every day and they are always developing new and unique flavors. I have tried at least 25 different kinds and enjoyed them all. The Kaiju was fantastic and I love the blueberry maple. Do yourself a favor and check it out! Also the dynamic duo behind the counter are so friendly and provide awesome customer service. 5 stars, will definitely go back, often, forever.“

“Had a great experience with Sweet Elevation Bakery! Everyone loved the cake, cupcakes and cookies! It was soo easy to have everything from one place instead of using different vendors for cake and cookies! They did get with my inspo pics and made the party come to life! Highly recommend!“

“What an amazing place! Not only was the food delicious! The person was just an absolute saint! Doesn’t get any better than a hardworking mother! I was just feeling so defeated and really needed some chocolate. I’m sure every knows what I mean. We left her shop feeling more uplifted and reminded that we are all doing the best we can. Thanks for making us laugh! Not all places can bring an atmosphere like this one can! I highly recommend this place. She is bringing more joy to the world everyday you can just tell!“

“Pastry heaven! This is my absolute favourite bakery! The staff is amazing, the pastries are beyond phenomenal!! Their cinnamon buns are so soft, fluffy and flavourful - hands down the best Ive ever had! Pricing is great! HIGHLY recommended!“

“Second time ordering from them and just as great as the first order! The pizza is done exactly the way you ask. Thier baked goods look out of this world, but have not tried any yet. I would 10 out of 10 recommend! I'm just saying we drive from Niskayuna just for their Pizza.“

“hands down the best subs and deal in the area. can't go wrong with the chicken Florentine especially for the amount you get. two full subs equal what dibellas charge for one and you're supporting a hard working, good family business that we need.“

“My dad used to work in downtown Albany and would bring home the most amazing rolls from Nino's Bakery when I was young. My husband and I recently went to find those same rolls that would stand up to meatball subs, Philly cheesesteaks, and such.. Found them and I will be going back every time I need a sturdy, chewy, soft, delicious roll! Oh and I have to go back because she mentioned they fill their cannolis fresh when you order!“

“Such a cute little bakery !! I definitely got an old school Italian vibe that reminded me of Arthur Ave in NYC. I got a few donuts and they were the best I’ve ever had!! I really wish i bought more. I would make the hour & a half drive just to try it again!“

“Beautiful and delicious cake! We had an 8” round, funfetti cake with a layer of chocolate buttercream inside and white buttercream on the outside. We decided to try a new bakery because we haven’t been really happy with previous places and we were so happy we did! It was perfectly decorated and absolutely delicious! The buttercream was creamy and sweet without being grainy and overly sweet and cake was so moist and flavorful! Thank you so much, we’ve found our new bakery for all of our spec8al cakes!“

“Nothing Bundt Cakes: A Bundt-astic Bite of Heaven (Especially for the Gluten-Free Folks!) Recently, I had the pleasure of indulging in their Limited Edition Gluten-Free Lemon Raspberry Bundtlet, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of marvelous. If you're looking for a special treat, a delightful surprise, or simply a way to brighten your day, I highly recommend heading to Nothing Bundt Cakes and grabbing yourself one (or a dozen!) of their Gluten-Free Lemon Raspberry Bundtlets. You won't regret it!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options available.“

“They made our wedding cake! Presentation was perfect and it tasted heavenly to boot. Totally worth it to be able to share the full cake cutting and eating experience at my wedding. The guests enjoyed it and we did too! Also wanted to add that we made an error with the date we were supposed to pick it up. Even though we were a day early, they still got the cake to us earlier than we were technically supposed to have it. Thank you!!“

“It doesn’t matter if you are a local or you are visiting upstate NY, Indian Ladder Farms is a place that you really want to visit, specially during the autumn. They have so many activities like apple picking, great beer, food, music and the traditional cider donuts… the best ones I had ever tasted. Super kid friendly and family oriented. They have cows, goats, chickens and other animals that you can pet and feed. I am so happy to see this place grow and being supported by the community.“

“Same day update: adding an additional star - the owner, Rachel, did call almost within moments of leaving this review, leaving a very kind sounding voice-mail about wanting more details / etc! I think that's really great of the business wanting personal feedback. They also sent me a full refund (which they most definitely did not have to do!!!! I was not expecting that / needing or wanting it, so im surprised they did!) So I will add that at least they are trying to take information from this review going forward! Tasting box - weddingMy fiancé and I purchased a tasting box from Coccadotts recently, and to us, it was pretty sub-par to other tasting boxes we've gotten from other bakeries (Coccadotts is our third box)We aren't sure if it's because that's how the tasting boxes are done at coccadotts, but we did put that we wanted cupcakes in our order form, we received small cakes (Which again, is fine, but just wasn't what we were really initially looking for - we wanted cupcakes since we've noticed these do usually taste slightly different, and we like to see how each bakery frosts / decorates them) - but we didn't really knock off any points for that - Cake is cake at the end of the day!The overall cake taste was really good, moist, good flavor! The frosting, however, felt very thick/heavy and really grainy to us, was not my most favorite.The cakes themselves had frosting writing on them, so we knew which was which [flavor wise]. However, the box also came with little containers - of what? no clue. I wasn't sure if they were fillings, other frostings? Other cake tasting boxes we've gotten, it had a printed-out form of what exactly was inside (cake flavor, frosting, fillings, etc) , which made it a whole lot easier.Something we really were not impressed with at all - When we put our order in, I was e-mailed a couple of times afterward about payment... I paid immediately after I got the first e-mail (shortly after I put my order in) about how to pay for our tasting box and sent a confirmation of it the same day. I then got e-mailed twice after this, basically about "making sure to pay."I understand places of business need payment, this is how they continue to run and stay open. But this felt so impersonal to me.... If I'm going to be e-mailed, I would rather it be a check-in on what we thought of the cakes. One email we received; the first whole sentence didn't even make sense.... It was subjected to the email was "How was your order?" but then the body of the email only talks about payment, stating (this is the entire email body) - "You should have received your total and processed the payment for your upcoming order with us. If you haven't, please check your spam folder and contact us to process payment. All orders must be paid for 24 hours after ordering or will be cancelled." - When I I had already paid..... Just felt very "We only care about money" to me...Additionally, I accidentally put the order in for the wrong day. When I arrived to pick up our tasting box, it wasn't finished because I made a mistake. I asked if they could accommodate for my mistake, they couldn't (which was totally okay, I did not expect them to!)  I very politely apologized and said that I was totally fine with coming back for the order date I put - I 100% was not upset at all, it was my goof and didn't blame them for that. The younger woman at the counter was VERY nice, felt super bad (even though it was not her fault at all!) however, another woman came out from the back, too - Immediately seemed annoyed we even asked, barely talked to us, and gave us kind of an attitude about it - I wasn't expecting them to accommodate my mistake and I certainty was 100% okay with coming back in a week. Just felt very uninviting to me.Overall, I just did not get a great vibe... Their cake IS good. Their frosting is okay, but the multiple e-mails all about payment just really didn't sit well with me, and the overall friendliness “

“Outstanding! Huge assortment of drinks available. Best DIRTY CHAI EVERRRRR! Both gluten free and regular bread options. Beautiful & tasty treats. The quiche is really good! Several varieties. Service was fast and friendly. I will always stop when I'm in the area!“

“Where do I begin? We love Cullens. We were so excited when we heard they were opening a coffee shop in Hannaford Plaza. The staff is all AMAZING. EVERY...SINGLE...ONE. Mike, the head baker and owner makes the best bagels! Mine are always hot off the press when I get one. My oldest likes their bagels as well. Their coffee and tea drinks are very tasty as well. And to top it all off, Cullens is lending Voorheesville Production chairs and a table for Chicago! They are such an integral part of the Voorheesville Community. When hardships strike, they are front line to help in big ways. Cullens is great! Everyone should try it!“

“This is a cash-only bakery that seems to operate as a wholesaler but allows walk-in retail sales. It’s mostly hard rolls and sub rolls sold here. The rolls have a crispy outer shell but are soft and chewy inside and have an outstanding taste.“

“I ordered a gluten-free cake for Christmas dinner for guests who were gluten-free. Not only was the cake gorgeous but so good. I even shared it and I'm not gluten-free. Not sure who made the cake or decorated it but as you can see from my photo, it was absolutely stunning and delicious.“

“About 18% of the world's population lives in China while the U.S. has approximately 4.5% of the population. I've tended to think of Chinese cuisine as a monolithic entity rather than a dynamic mix of regional cuisines. I've been trying to address my ignorance by eating at Chinese restaurants that advertise their regionality. Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro is Cantonese/Guangdong. From my very limited research, the cuisine is light and mild, steamed rather than stir fried. This is certainly a simplification but it is a starting point. One of the more famous dishes from the region is dim sum. Dim sum means "touch the heart". They are small steamed or fried savory items, snacks. These are the items I focused on during my visits to the bakery/bistro. Each item was different enough from the other to make for a pleasant and satisfying meal. Steamed dishes - beef ball with bean curd skin, shrimp with spinach dumpling, roast duck dumpling, rice rolls with roast duck. Fried dishes included deep fried pork dumpling and fried shrimp ball. Most of the rolls were made with glutinous rice of varying thickness or cornstarch, either steamed or deep fried. The sauces were also wide-ranging, savory to sweet, and added much to the meal. What I didn't know - dim sum is usually accompanied with tea. I can see how that can elevate the experience. Since it is a bakery, I also tried some of those items. Custard buns, coconut custard buns, coconut pudding, dried pork buns, and even tiramisu were tested. Some notes - The dried pork buns added pork floss (dried pork manipulated to the texture of rough cotton candy) to the outside of the bun. Coconut pudding - subtle fragrance and flavor of coconut coagulated with agar agar as the gelling agent. It's more "bouncy" than jello - not my favorite. I think some of the baked items were bought from a wholesaler - there's a whole lot there. The most underwhelming item was the tiramisu. Well, who gets tiramisu at a Cantonese place? I guess I do. This taught me a lesson as this item seemed to have languished in the display case for a bit longer than it should. Overall, it's a really good place to try different dim sum. A word of warning - Italian desserts might be saved for another place.“
