Came here for the first time. Picked up a variety of pastries to taste and tryout, to see if they would be a good fit for my families thanksgiving day pie.
Their pastries are absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.
I will be coming here for my thanksgiving pies.

I ordered a red velvet cake because they have the best I’ve ever tasted. However, the last one I ordered was terrible. There was more buttercream than cream cheese frosting and the cake itself tasted dry. Everyone who ate a slice told me that the cake was not good. I said that can’t be because I ordered it from Riesterer’s. When I cut a slice for myself, I was highly disappointed. The whole taste changed. I spoke to the chef and he said this is the new recipe and said I should avoid this cake if I don’t like it because that’s the new recipe. Unbelievable. Buyer beware. They messed up one of their best cakes. 3 stars because of the wonderful cakes I’ve had in the past. Otherwise, this experience made it a 0.

Errors for custom made cakes for 2 major occasions in a span of 3-4 months. We used to like it here for years. Very poor customer service (younger and older employees) does not help either. Not going back or recommend any longer.
Skipped by woman behind counter twice
Great place lots of choices excellent

My husband and I had a lot of questions to ask when we entered this awesome bakery. We were specifically looking for pareve cakes but were unsure of sizes and how large a cake would feed how many. Jackie was extremely helpful in assisting us and answering all of our questions. She was kind, patient and extremely insightful. We did tell her manager how fantastic Jackie was but we want everyone to know as well!!

I have been going to this bakery me and my family for over two
Decades. I had not been in a very long time and decided to come by and get a few cakes and pastries for bdays. When I came
In the lady at the counter seemed annoyed. I was the only customer at the time. I
Told her I’d call
Her when I was ready to choose since she seemed annoyed off the bat. I was ready and had her grab a few cakes and pastries. On one cake
I wanted her to write something. She huffed and puffed. She did everything with an attitude. I almost didn’t buy my stuff because of her. I was nice and pleasant but she would make any customer want to leave . She even basically slang my bag over to
Me and I got home my cake was broken and one of them not even fresh. She didn’t even tell me the total when I asked she said can’t u see the screen? Never again will
I come
Back here

You really can’t beat this place. It’s a classic on Long Island! They have an amazing selection, plus a large dairy free and sugar-free cookies and cakes too for dessert or a quick treat! Not to mention great doggie treats too.

My family has been purchasing cakes here for years. They are WONDERFUL every time. Everything here is delicious especially their fudgey chocolate icing and chocolate ganache. Riesterer’s cakes have been a part of many of my family’s events and fond memories, so it only made sense to ask them to make my wedding cake. Tom the decorator did not disappoint at all. He was so kind and helpful and made this beautiful show cake for my wedding last year, even making the top layer gluten free by request. I HIGHLY recommend this bakery to everyone.
Dietary restrictions: Very helpful with gluten free.

I purchased 3 pies. One apple, one pumpkin, and one coconut custard. They all sucked!! Honestly, just go to stop and shop it was 10000% better and a quarter of the price!!!
