50 Best Bakeries near St. Albans

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“Darrinsweets does amazing work. She made my baby shower cake and my daughter’s first birthday cake and they were lovely. She listens to what you want and does the best job to get you what you want or as close to it as possible. Love it!!!!!“

“Today I placed an order on Uber Eats and when the order arrived, it was wrong. I called the store upset and Phil made sure he went above and beyond to fix my order. He came and brought me the correct order himself, free of charge. He went above and beyond to accommodate me as his customer and I am very appreciative. Also, the food here is really goo!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Amazing everything and they carry spelt products for those that are not able to eat wheat“

“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.“

“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!“

“✨✨✨Best sweet cream churros EVER !! Yummmmmm 🥠🥠🥠 OMG …. Confection perfection.!!! 💯✨✨ We are in Easton Pa !! Love the owners & ♥️ excellent customer service!!! 100% recommend for coffee ice cream cookies, churros and especially the Dubai chocolate creamy crusted pistachio strawberries What a special treat !!!! 🍓🍃🍫☕️“

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

“Everything I tried was absolutely delicious, though I didn’t get to try everything on the menu. The coffee was great and the service was friendly. The only downside for me was that the mini cheesecakes / little cupcakes felt overpriced for their size. Either they should be a bit bigger or priced more reasonably for what you get.“

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

“Was craving their basque cheesecake for a while so was really looking forward to it. Last time I had it was over a year ago. Ube was thankfully still the same — rich, creamy and not too sweet. The perfect basque cheesecake. Def recommend this!

The classic one, however, tasted different than before. I taste amaretto in it now which overpowered the creamy cheesecake flavor. Bummed about this one..

Ps - my daughter really enjoyed the brown butter chocolate chip cookie“

“I'll keep on coming back her, the experience is the great and the service is excellent. I recently tried the macarons and I can't not believe how good they were, I haven't tried something this good before. Kiara and Joselin are the kindest people I have ever met they were very helpful when ever I needed any help. I definitely recommend this place.“

“I found this bakery from a neighbor who recommended their specialty Dominican cakes. I ordered for the first time via their web form and promptly received a quote, sent in some edits and very easily placed my order. I appreciate that during the production of the cake there was a question and the shop sent me a chat through the site and I was able to quickly get a response. When I picked up, I was so impressed by the shop! They have beautiful cakes ready for pick up, cake slices and desserts that look like art not food! For my party, the cake was gorgeous and so delicious-the chocolate with chocolate mousse was a hit. I will definitely be back for orders and to enjoy a slice of cake and coffee.“

“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.“

“So in-love with their ube cake! Must if you really want to get a good ube cake! Location: It is located along Queens Boulevard. The store was typical bakery, few seatings inside. Good display of breads, cakes and items from the Philippines. Service: not much interaction cause I just bought cake and go. Food: UBE CAKE: omg it is so good! The cake itself is moist even few days after I purchase! The frosting is like cream type, its a bit a lot but it taste good because it taste ube as well. Unlike other ube cakes that the cream does not taste ube! I almost eat half of the cake because it is so good! Price rating: 7/10, $45 for a round cake. Thats the usual price now for more stores! Definitely will come back here I will try their other flavors! But get the ube cake!!“

“Beautiful homemade cake and very delicious! I ordered for Mother’s Day after seeing good Google reviews, and they did not disappoint. The cake looked amazing, tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. They even sent me a picture before pickup. Highly recommended!“

“Gotta Getta Bagel catered our son's Brit Milah ceremony. Abie went above and beyond with everything. Food was phenomenal. Service was outstanding. Food Presentation/Display was beautiful. Our guests were very happy. Abie was very patient, friendly, explained our options clearly and thoroughly. Strongly recommend to all“

“Honestly, if you've heard any hype about this place, believe it. Not only are the staff amazing (yes, all of the staff!) not only are you greeted with warm welcomes but you're immediately greeted with the warm smell of the delicious cookies on hand. We've compared the lineup of cookies to 'other' cookie shops and they don't stand up to Chip City. Our favorites have been the Confetti and Triple Chocolate. My personal fave was the Rainbow cookie so grab when it makes an appearance. And yes, you can check on their site for the week's lineup and plan accordingly. I also want to mention that there is a rewards points system in play of you choose to share your number (they promised me it was only used for points and they don't sell your number- I haven't received any unsolicited texts since signing up). The quickest way to rack up points of buying the Box Sets (3 or 6). Enjoy!

Update: the variety of cookies never stops to amaze me. please, if you're in first hills, stop in and get at least one cookie.“

“👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 the service was great and the coffee ☕️ 👌 was mmmmmm“

“Ordered all the way from North Carolina. Setting up subscription now!!“

“Delish perfect after my puja“

“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.“

“Best strawberry shortcake ever.. hands down. It’s so fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. I’m completely hooked on it. And I buy it every year for my daughter .. nicely decorated. Jack is wonderful.

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.“

“Incredible espresso, desserts, authentic Sicilian specialties. Great place with amazing quality food.“

“I placed an order for a customized cake and confirmed everything in advance but they forgot the lettering on top of the cake. No one apologized for it and they did not even provide a paper bag to carry the cake.

I appreciate the owner’s sincere apologies and attempts to make things better.“

“Cakes are just as delicious as always !! So grateful for the Valencia Crew for organizing a trip to multiple cities in Florida !! So many Boricuas showing up at all locations ! Truly special ! Valencia is #1 ….. not hurry up and open up in Palm Beach !“

“She did it again! This is my second time working with Nita for a milestone birthday, and she exceeded expectations once again. She is so professional and such a pleasure to work with. Her pastries are not only beautiful but absolutely delicious—this time I ordered cakes, tarts, and cake pops. She copied my inspiration cake to perfection! I will definitely be recommending her again and again.“

“Staff is very friendly, love the coffee!“

“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!!!)“

“Joes is the spot for all your stuff. The place smells like heaven when you walk in! Lemon cookies are my favorites. Forget about it“

“Leidylicious bakery is the most whimsical little bakery that’s gives the most pleasant experience ever. I ordered my daughter’s 8th birthday cake ( a Calico critters theme)from this bakery and the whole experience was very stress free. I love how they made it feels like I hired a personal baker. They communication and attention to every details exceeded my expectations for a small bakery. My daughter was very happy, not only with the design of the cake but also the taste. She is a very picky eater! Our cake was all chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling and you can just taste the richness and know that it is made with good ingredients. It was so moist and full of that whole good chocolate taste. I would recommend this bakery to anyone who is looking for that homemade, real good ingredients cake/desserts.“

“The cheesecake and crumb cake are our favorites“

“*5/5 Stars - A Slice of Heaven in Great Neck!*

I'm still drooling just thinking about the incredible salad and pastries from this bakery! The moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of freshly baked goods wafted through the air, and the staff's warm smiles made me feel right at home.

The croissant? Flaky, buttery crust giving way to a sweet surprise center. The rugelach? Layers of flaky dough wrapped around a rich, creamy filling. And don't even get me started on the babka - moist, chocolatey, and utterly addictive.

What truly sets this bakery apart is the love and care that goes into every single item. You can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering this hidden gem, do yourself a favor and get here ASAP.

*Pro tip:* Try the bakery specials - they're always a delight! Can't wait to come back and indulge in more of their delicious treats!“

“​A fantastic spot in Flushing for anyone craving a unique and satisfying dessert. The croffles here perfectly capture that buttery, flaky croissant texture on the inside while delivering a satisfying, waffle-like crispiness on the outside. I highly recommend pairing one of their topped croffles with a milk tea or specialty coffee—the combination hits the spot perfectly. The space is clean and inviting, and the service is wonderfully quick. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood!“

“Me encantan desde años mis favoritos“

“I love this place, I've been going here ever since I was a kid and everything about it is perfect! The ambience, the employees, the locals, this is a New York Bagel place at heart. Not to mention, the bagels, pastries and cream cheeses are incredible. I've moved away and yet make an effort to come here every single time I come back!“

“Excellent baked goods. Delicious pastry and the CANOLI“

“I don’t think there is anything that I don’t love here. Beautiful, fresh, delicious pastries is all you will find here. The staff is always friendly and ready to help no matter how busy they are, and busy they are especially during the holidays. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else.“

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

“The toasted marshmallow iced latte was DIVINE!! The bacon, egg & mozzarella cheese sandwich was also so fresh and made exactly to my liking.

Just a heads-up: you may have to wait a little because everything is made fresh and it’s a small business. But if you aren’t in a rush, this spot is definitely a must-try!

The barista/do-it-all employee was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving and the experience they’re giving their customers. 10/10. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Love the coffee and the pastries the pastries and They' muffins“

“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!“

“Very delicious egg biscuit sandwich. I am still thinking about the biscuit. They have some pastry options. I had a vegan muffin and the best vegan muffin I have ever had. Not a big food menu. A few crossaints, loaf slices, brownie and 2 types of muffins“

“I come here all the time for my cup of coffee and a pastry every now and then, but had never ordered a cake from here before. I ordered the strawberry & pineapple cake, and let me tell you, it was delicious! It was moist so you can tell it was made fresh, and the flavor on the icing along with the coconut flakes was amazing!“

“I stopped by Crumbl cookies in Oceanside today and had such a great experience! The cookies were absolutely delicious, very fresh and full of flavor. What really made my visit special was Gianella. She was super friendly, patient, and helped me pick the best flavors.”She is a keeper”. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“
