“I'm really grateful to Bradley Bake Shop for fulfilling my last-minute cupcake and cake order. The kids absolutely loved them, especially my daughter, who can't stop praising how delicious they were. This bakery has been my favorite spot since my daughter was born. The owner is incredibly kind and always looks after their customers. A big thank you!Dietary restrictions: No peanut, nuts“
“We had ordered a wedding cake from this business. I must tell you that from the cake tasting to the actual finished cake that we had received everything was so amazing. Stephanie is a true master at what she does, she looks at her work and each project as a masterpiece. And a masterpiece it was! I have never tasted a more delicious and decadent flavor than our wedding cake (Lemon cake with passion fruit cream). Highly recommend this bakery for any of your special events.“
“9.0/10 Finally tried New York-style bagels at Absolute Bagels and I can confidently say that these are absolutely the best bagels I've ever had. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt raves about this spot, so it was a must-visit during my stay from Orange County. My boyfriend and I got: Blueberry Cream Cheese on Egg Bagel $5.50 | Bacon & Eggs on Everything Bagel $6.95 Cheese +50¢ | Toasted +10¢ Each. Both were amazing, couldn't pick a favorite. I'm a bit ashamed to say that all the many times I've visited New York, this was my first time trying NY bagels from the place itself. Their bagels have a thin, shiny, crackly crust. When you bite into it, it's dense and chewy but tender and easy to bite through, the perfect texture. The Egg Bagel was amazing and Blueberry Cream Cheese was rich and fruity. The Everything Bagel was a flavor bomb with its malty base and generous toppings. The bacon, eggs and cheese inside complemented the bagel well. These might be some of the best eggs I've ever had, never seen something like this inside a bagel or sandwich before. They're possibly scrambled and then baked or steamed, which reminded me of Korean steamed eggs (gyeran-jjim). I learned that a quality bagel shouldn't need toasting; its freshness should ensure crispness and chewiness. Next time, I'll resist the urge to toast and enjoy them in their pure form. The bagels are huge, I saved half for the next day, while my boyfriend managed to devour his in one go. These are better than any bagel I've ever had in Socal, but maybe I haven't had that many. The only other bagel I had time to try was Bagel co in North Bergen, NJ and these were so much better. I wish I could find bagels like these in LA OC. Though I didn't spot any specific sustainability practices or see mention of them, I hope Absolute Bagels considers eco-friendly initiatives in the future. They're located on a main busy street in Manhattan Valley, Upper West Side. I took the train and walked a few blocks to get here. If you drive here, I'm not too sure about parking but looks like there's just paid metered street parking. The interior is casual, no-frills, small, no inside or outside seating, just a grab-and-go type of spot, a hole in the wall. Service efficient, albeit minimal. Being cash-only, there's a Chase Bank nearby for convenience. I came on a Saturday around 10:30 AM and was surprised by the short wait time, only 15 minutes. They open early for the breakfast crowd. Prices are reasonable, especially given the quality and big portions.“
“I have recommend Crumbly to patients when they ask where to go after their appointment. Everything I have tried, I have loved so far. They are my go to place before I go into work.It makes it even better that they are so nice. I can keep going, everything just taste so good.I got a Fudge Brownie this morning ?“
“I normally recommend this bakery to everyone. However, yesterday morning I went to your Brooklyn location to bring home bombalones for family. This morning the strawberry on top on one is literally covered in mold. This is absolutely unacceptable! Unfortunately I'm already back out of state so I can't even come back to get an exchange. I spent around $75 yesterday.... and I get MOLDY food.“
“I ran into Steph at one of her pop-ups and fell in love with her macarons. Not only are they adorable, but they are DELICIOUS!! I reached out to her for a custom order for my bridal shower favors and they came out so perfect. Everyone was raving about them! Steph was very responsive via email and helped to create an order that fit within the budget I specified. I can't wait to order from her again!“
“THE. BEST. Almond croissant I’ve ever had. I’ve been to Europe and all that but this??? Unlike any other croissant. Saying that I highly recommend this is an understatement. Was also graced with beautiful music from a quartet outside on a Sunday around noon.“
“I bought a sandwich and some canele in ubereats. They gave me a written note for the missing canele(since they ran out of it), tell me to refund, and even added other pastries in bag for compensation…never seen a better service in my whole life, most importantly everything tasted AMAZING!!They had just earn themselves a new costumer, this made my day, thank you so much.“
“We love everything about this local shop. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and the products are always fresh and delicious. This past week we ordered a custom birthday cake due to dietary restrictions and it was a hit. We can’t recommend this place enough.“
“We went here for the first time and had the most amazing experience. The espresso was great, pastries were phenomenal, and the owner made us feel right at home. 10/10 would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in the area.“
“My daughter, my child always finds the best places to take her mama to. And babeee these donuts along with the customer service were definitely a win for me. I am vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian ;) and I chose from the vegan section and when I tell you the pumpkin glaze donut and the vegan plain donut warmed up for less than 50 seconds in a microwave were the best thing my hour glass figure didn’t need, I am not lying. These donuts were simply delicious, so delicious imma get the heck outta the city and not come back to it for atleast 2 years. lol. There isn’t anyway I can always have these donuts at my finger tips. But hands down this is a must try and definitely recommended establishment one has to visit any time in the New York area! Now, off to the gym, omg!“
“Great little coffee shop. Delicious macchiato. Staff was friendly, and informative. They make all their syrups in house. Not a lot of seating. Music was great and not too loud. They have some delicious pastries. Coffee presentation was average, but the flavor was perfect.“
“Really great sourdough baguette, I'm still thinking about it! I got the tahini spread and it went well with the baguette. My friend got the Mediterranean quiche which was vegetarian and had zucchini, feta, tomato, and onions. She loved it! They are very sweet even though we can in and out 30 mins before closing and they didn't have many other customers. It's a warm homely space and smells delicious!“
“Sandwiches are expensive here!! Around $17 so be prepared. The bread is phenomenal though.The triple chocolate croissant is delicious - very flaky and not too dry. Would recommend. The pistachio croissant was a tad too dry and wasn’t standout.“

“I went this place after work and hit the spot. We had a delicious hot chocolate like I have not tried anywhere else, super tasty and delicious.m, it doesn’t need more sugar. The maple cruller was delicious but the passion fruit was exotic delicious and unique ! The staff very friendly they make you feel at home ! I loved the place and I will definitely go back!“
“Came here to get a light snack for dessert and there are interesting sweets they have for display. I just wanted something conventional so I chose a chocolate fudge & peanut butter cake. Don't let the modest size of this slice if cake fool you, it filled me up proper, maybe because I had this after a meal but the cake itself was so tasty I had to endure finishing the rest of this because I did not want to waste this. Maybe this would have been best as a standalone snack but it was worth getting. I'll revisit again soon.“
“What a treat this place is! I was working a gig in the area for 5 days and I came here every morning!! I got the ham and cheese croissant the first day and I was hooked. MAN, is that thing GOOD!!! So yummy. I also tried the egg sandwich on focaccia, which was delicious. And I tried two of their cookies, I very highly recommend the triple chocolate. *chefs kiss*. I bought half a loaf of sourdough to take home as well.The only item I had that I didn't care for was the orange cream brioche. Everything else was a winner!“
“Stopped by and got the cold brew with cherry syrup. Omg game changer. Literally no one is offering cherry syrup and I believe Patent’s housemade. The cold brew was so divine with it. Jonathan was my barista and was warm and inviting. Always loved coming here in the past. I’m happy I rediscovered it again.“
“I got the almond bun and Americano, and half a loaf of bread. The waiter put two almond buns on my tab and when I mentioned I had only one towards the end, they behaved as if I made a mistake! Aside from poor service, it’s a nice place and the quality of the bread and pastries is fine!“
“woke up with a craving for the perfect blueberry muffin and Rex delivered. super soft, fruit forward muffin with a perfectly crusted top, sprinkled with sugar. so so good. they also make a proper cappuccino and have great ambiance with pleasant music, nyt copies, and books to peruse. I will definitely be coming back for a lil Saturday morning outing one of these days.“
“This is a store specializing in delicious mousse.My recommendation is the passion fruit flavor.Other flavors tend to be sweeter, but the passion fruit flavor is sweet and sour, and when eaten with other flavors, it brings out the goodness of the other flavors.The passion fruit flavor was the least I expected before I bought it, but now it's a must buy.Overall, the texture was good and it was like eating a mousse cake from a high-end restaurant. Considering that, I think it's a pretty cheap price.I've only purchased take-out items, but there is an eat-in area, and I feel like the customer base is mostly cute women.It was never crowded, giving the impression that it was a hidden gem of a sweets shop.It's in East Harlem, so I'm hesitant to go there, but I feel like Japanese tourists can walk up to East 100th without worrying.This is my favorite sweets specialty store.A mousse with a smooth texture.I especially recommend the passion fruit flavor. When eaten with other flavors, the other flavors stand out even more.“
“I enjoyed the avocado toast, with two fried eggs (extra) (they don't do poached). Nothing fancy, nothing catchy. When it came out I prejudged and was thinking, oh hmm, this might not be good. But overall the avocado and the eggs were good enough for a 4⭐, and I think the two things that helped to push it over the edge to 5⭐ were the bread and the pickled peppers. In particular the pickled peppers added a little bit of sweetness and a little kick. Pleasant surprise.Matcha latte was reasonable and not remarkable -- lacking in latte art but slightly making up for it in portion. Also, could have been sifted/whisked some more because there were lumpy chunks at the bottom. Nevertheless I won't let this pull down the 5⭐ for food.~10am on a rainy Sunday morning but the place was almost full. And there was a robust pickup / delivery business.“
“First and foremost, their pastries are wonderful! Came in the morning when everything was well stocked. They had a variety of bomboloni (Italian fried doughnuts), croissants, cookies and muffins. They had at least 3 different flavors of bomboloinis (orange spritz, blueberry/raspberry, strawberry cream) and at least 4 type of croissants (butter, everything, basil cream cheese, espresso). There were even more but I've forgotten. I got two sweet and two savory ones plus an Americano. The total was $28 which in my opinion is a decent price for NYC. I saw a board outside that a breakfast sandwich and drip coffee combo is $9. Other than what's displayed, they also have a food menu. I noticed someone ordered an everything croissant with egg and salmon or prosciutto. It looked really good so I will definitely be going back for that. They have a large space. There are cozy seats and tables at the front. The back has plenty of tables and chairs. They even have a long bar table with high chairs against the wall opposite their open kitchen. They also placed a few tables and chairs on the sidewalk. Most importantly, they have one clean handicap assessable restroom. Next to that there is a storage area that they tried to shield with trees. I appreciate they try to make the space pretty and clean.“
“Just visited New Jersey for the first time on Friday in February 2024! Stopped by this shop with some colleagues and it was phenomenal. Rafael is very passionate about his craft and the food is beautiful! Stop by here and grab some pastries. The croissant had dozens of laminated layers (I think he said over 40!) Highly recommend.“

“We had ordered a baby shower cake. The base was a Jaffa cake with butter cream frosting. The cake was fantastic in the way it looked and the taste. The service was excellent. Ms. Marie is a talented artist. Would highly recommend this place!“
“Went here last January on a friend's recommendation, mostly just for the sake of trying. Asked the server which cookie was the best-seller, and they recommended the Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie. It was huge! I was initially planning on eating only half of it take the rest home, but it was soon good that I finished it all without leaving the store! Would highly recommend!“
“This cafe is a lovely escape from the mean streets of the city. Wonderful desserts and beverages. However, it can be very crowded. That isn't a bad thing, you just need to be prepared for the crowds at certain times. We love going here and having tea and hot chocolate.“
“A delicious cookie spot! I finally caved and tried one. It is tasty, crunchy and soft and chocolatey as a good cookie should be. Honestly, for the city and the size of it, the price is okay. I definitely enjoyed it and understand why it is so cherished. I enjoyed mine in the park.“
“A damn good burger! ? Seriously I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life and burgers happen to be my favorite food but this all American cheeseburger from @cake_burgers has to be one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I mean from the top to the bottom the soft, perfectly toasted brioche bun, to the perfectly crisp and fresh lettuce and tomatoes and melty cheese, and their special burger sauce?! Whenever a restaurant has a special sauce I have to try it because I have high expectations and this one exceeded it. The grilled onions made it even better! The meat was perfectly cooked and so juicy. It was like my dream burger had finally come to fruition. I am also a big sweet potato fries lover and they make the PERFECT sweet potato fries, everything is balanced so nicely from seasoning to texture. It’s no surprise the chef has past experience working at Michelin star restaurants and even received compliments from THE Anthony Bourdain!!!! I can’t wait to come back and try their specialty cakes and other desserts! My new favorite burger joint ??Plus the owners are so sweet and kind and provide amazing service and fun and welcoming atmosphere!“
“Levine Bakery is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of NYC! Their cookies are like big bites of heaven - crispy on the outside, yet oh-so-soft on the inside. With each bite, you're transported to a world of decadence and delight. Give the other delish baked items a try as well! If you're in the mood for a sweet escape, Levine Bakery is the place to be!“
“I went to the Crumbly Cafe & Bakery on Second Avenue this week for the first time. I ordered the feta and spinach bistro and it was one of the best baked goods I've had in a very long time. I was so impressed that I just placed an on-line order for 8 different items to try and can't wait to pick them up tomorrow. In addition, the wonderfully talented baker, Ms. Miriam and her lovely daughter, Mia, could not have been nicer and more welcoming. It will definitely be a favorite and am so glad of the new discovery!“
“The interior is very cute, but the space is too small for people to sit and eat coffee or bread.Personally, I recommend iced tiramisu latte because it is so delicious.Parking: There's a lot to say about this...After confirming that I could park for free inside the building, I went in and parked... but I couldn't enter the building itself, so I had to call someone when I went in, and when I went back to pick up my car, I had to call someone, but there was no response and there was no place to ask, so I had to drive directly into the basement. I walked down the street.“
“They did an amazing job on my daughter’s unicorn birthday cake, it literally took my breath away when I saw it! My 4 year old had the same reaction! My daughter is allergic to sesame and tree nuts, so I’m thrilled to have found this bakery for all of her celebration cakes!“
“I love coming here ! The food & pastries are sooo delicious, and the service is great! Definitely 10/10Vegetarian options: This is a vegan bakery.Kid-friendliness: Very sweet and patient with my daughter while she decided on what she wanted“
“My husband and I are gluten free, so it can be difficult to find specialty cakes for occasions. I’m so glad we found Sensible Edibles! They also shipped his birthday carrot cake without a hitch! Great service, delicious products, seamless delivery! Can’t ask for more! Our German Shepherd loved it too! 5-Stars!“

“Just moved to the area and Charlotte Cafe was an incredible surprise. An authentic italian experience, with cornettos (croissants) the same as the one you would get in Bologna. The staff is very friendly and professional. It would be amazing if they added vegan cornettos as well.“
“The best cookies ever, me & my sister were in new york for her birthday & we were looking for a dessert place after having an amazing dinner. This place was down the street from where we ate from, we came in & there was 1 lady working bc it was so late, she was the sweetest & gave us extra cookies. THEY TASTE THE BEST. best cookies i’ve ever had no lie.“
“Amazing maritozzi, arguably the best. Id love for the dough to have a bit of an orange zest flavor to it, regardless the cream they use is the perfect balance of bitter & sweet. The Coffee is even better. If you are looking for Italian sweets that aren't too sweet, this is the spot. Light and flavorful pastries“
“We live in nearby Dobbs Ferry, we have came by a few times for special occasions (birthdays, valentines, etc) and have not been disappointed. I wasn’t sure if Gluten Free, Non-Dairy and Kosher would taste different, for their cakes you hardly notice any difference than one that is not those things. It’s not an inexpensive place as evident by their locations but you get an excellent product from them which makes them worth going to.“
“Great neighborhood bakery love the place love the vibe. The staff is super friendly. Everything freshly made every morning never get enough of almond croissants, chocolate babka , and etc.. Highly recommend this place. The owner is an incredible person!“
“This is such a nice little hidden gem, it offers some amazing deserts and pastries. Their cakes are too die for. I personally have tried a few of their vegan & gluten free cakes which weee definitely something new, but were great. The service is always 10/10 very helpful and informative, it's a cute little place to hide away from all the commotion of NYC and enjoy a little delight.“
“Heard how good Al-Sham’s Knafeh is and let me tell you, those reviews did not lie! Came a day before Ramadan, atmosphere was great, super busy (but now I know why). Got myself a nice big piece of Knafeh and a Medium sized Assorted Baklawa plate! 1000/10 recommend to anyone looking for a killer Knafeh!!“
“I love coming here and patronizing this hyper local business. They are hardworking owners and really value their patrons and suggestions. They are into building relationships, and encourage staff be the same. Their PDQs are great (and the only place near me with them), and they have a selection of other tasty choices. They have cozy indoor seating, and cute outdoor space and are very toddler/kid friendly.“
“We were craving for pastries from Chocnyc which was recommended by Yelp Top 100 Croissants. It’s kind of far from where we live but no one can stop us from eating.We were satisfied with their line up. We got their Plain Croissant, Caramelized Croissant, Pecan Sticky Bun and Savory Biscuit as first try. The portion was great with reasonable price.Our favorite was the Pecan Sticky Bunwhich was satisfying with soft and rich texture. Their croissant wasn’t our type but it’s still worth a visit.“
“Dulce DE-LICIOUS strikes again. Food is always amazing, packaged beautifully, completely accurate order. They even use compostable sandwich containers. Driver was the most courteous and professional delivery person. Pleasure all around!As an aside, perfect hangover cure: egg sandwich, coffee, morning sunshine smoothie.“
“Yes it is true about the chocolate chip cookies. I came around 6pm and I was expecting them to be gone or stale by then. They had a decent amount left and not stale at all. Tastes like their recipe is double butter or double sugar. Either way it was delicious! Had to get myself 2. Would have got more, but didn't want to be greedy ?“
“After a late night at the gym my fiancè promise to take me here due to it having the best and fresh cookies. So we went and I loved it honestly their cookies was a perfect size with such a refreshing and warm bite. I love it here I have a new favorite cookies spot and I want to let the world know these cookies are amazing, even since we brought 6 the cookies was still soft and taste fresh for the next two days.Sorry for the photo it was the only one I had the cookie was super good it was the maple cream cookie sandwich“
“What an amazing, new favorite neighborhood cafe! A curious visit that turned into an 'addiction' :) Food is super fresh and very tasty, and by now my family have tried many menu items.Try their Veggie Heaven ( I have never seen my mom wolf down a full sandwich like this one, time and again), their avocado toast, the chopped salad, and the Waldorf salad (with or without the chicken!) -- just great!We've tried vanilla lattes, chai teas, peach iced teas, among others, and all got super high marks as well!Service is as good as it gets, pleasant and kind. We always feel so welcome, even when packed.On top, the place is like a melting pot of people from different backgrounds, walks of life, different languages -- the perfect atmosphere for all!“
