“My first experience with this bakery and you did not disappoint. I ordered a cheeseburger cake. There was an upcharge because of the work that goes into it, but that makes total sense. I fully appreciate that time = money. Everyone at the party was impressed at how perfect the cake looked, and they were even more impressed by how delicious it was. Thank you! We will be back.“
“When I was a child I use to frequent a bakery with my family called Wagners, it was that rustic bakery with day old goods in the corner, display cakes at the front, and shelves upon shelves of cookies, cupcakes, and an assortment of pastries.I have once again found a similar location close by at Dolce and Biscotti, which I was planning to limit myself to just three selections, but ended up with nine because they just all looked so good. I have very poor self control when it comes to dessert.Be that as it may, there is still plenty I did not take, and that's because I 100% plan to return. All the things I partook of were amazing, with my favorites being the Almond Sugar Cookie and the Strawberry Tart cookie.And for my box I paid less than a single Andrew Jackson, now that's what I call a steal.“
“I love the original location, but the convenience of the newer satellite in Clifton Park can't be beat! Everything there is delicious, but the hubby loves the cinnamon roll (warmed up for just a second) and I love the Danish and chocolate bomb.“
“My wife recently had to go gluten free, and we have been trying to find a good place to easily get breakfast for a date. We happened to find Birch Baked with a Google search and checked it out. We were not disappointed! We each got a breakfast sandwich and a sweet treat (she got a cookie and I got a cider donut). The food was awesome!! If I didn't know everything was gluten free, I would have had no idea. We are definitely coming back to try out other things like their pizza, hot and cold sandwiches, and the owner told us they are starting a dinner night Thursdays and Fridays with lots of great options. Top notch place filling a big need in the area.“
“My husband is always hunting for croissants and we found this place on a Saturday. It was busy but the line moves quickly. And I tried their kouign amann. So good! We loved everything. I also love that they allow dogs inside because they were all so cute and it made my day.“
“I am SO happy to have Nibble and Nosh in my life. EVERYTHING is delicious. The unique twist on the classic are a delight. My favorite part is I can buy one to taste or order gift boxes for an occasion. I’m a tough customer and I love everything about Nibble and “

“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!“
“Can’t believe it took me so long to get in this adorable cake shop. The cake I ordered for my fiancés birthday was perfect. Incredible flavors and even better frosting (not that fake sugary taste). Will recommend to everyone I talk to when discussing sweets. And they even have coffee! 10/10.“
“This is such a charming farm country store in Burnt Hills. Not only is the atmosphere inviting, but the selection of items makes it well worth the visit. While here, I was able to satisfy multiple impulses at once. I was able to find some delicious almong cookies with raspberry jam, maple cream, honey almond handsoap, and several candles that smell absolutely AMAZING.What I like aside from the great variety of items that they sell is the QUALITY. If you have a tendency to grasp as Shiney objects, you'll find quite a few here. But I can assure you that you most definitely get what you pay for. Their baked goods are unlike anything I've purchased at a country store before, and they have certainly gained my future patronage as a result.The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome, which was a surprise being a NYC native, where everyone is on guard. I think it would take several visits for me to truly take in all this place has to offer, but I endeavor to try! It's definitely worth the visit and money well spent.“
“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!“
“I was introduced to Goodway Gourmet at the Mohegan Sun Camper Show last year. I was looking forward to those deliciously moist and tasty cakes for months before the event this year and they were the first stop on my list! I introduced my friends to these cakes and we bought 10 to share! I highly recommend Goodway Gourmet to anyway that wants a decadent treat that’s for a great mission!“
“Our bestie group of 4 went for lunch. Everything was so good. 3 got BLT’s and I got the Beet Salad. They all loved their sandwiches with chips or macaroni salad and my Beet Salad was the best I ever had!!! They roast their beets to perfection. chopped walnuts crumbled goat cheese, sliced red onions, on wonderful salad greens, with a delicious balsamic mixture. It was so good. Service was so comforting such a sweet person and coffee and a most delicious cider donut and coffee for dessert. The best afternoon! We will certainly be back before long.“
“Nelly's treats is the best! Renel made my cake for my wedding (gluten free) and it was absolutely incredible. Her cupcakes and cannolis were also a huge hit! Renel was a joy to work with and made the whole process so easy. Would recommend using Renel and Nelly's treats for all your bakery needs!“
“Quaint little bakery. The bread and pizza were delicious. Our cashier was friendly and very helpful. She gave us info about the bakery, the restaurant and the surrounding area. It’s a bit pricey but right on par for such a gem of artesanal culinary. We will be back!“
“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.“
“Overall: The Blue Rose is a haven for delicious baked goods, easily becoming my favorite bakery. Their friendly staff and extensive selection make it a must-visit.Macarons: The star of the show is their macaron selection. They boast a wide variety of flavors, from classic birthday cake and cookies & cream to decadent Snickers and red velvet. Not only are they beautiful, but they're also the most affordable I've found.Tiramisu: Another must-try is their tiramisu. This decadent Italian dessert is beyond delicious, with perfectly layered ladyfingers soaked in espresso and a rich mascarpone cream.Price: The Blue Rose offers excellent value, especially for their macarons.Recommendation: Do yourself a favor and visit The Blue Rose frequently. You won't be disappointed!“
“We stop any time we are in the area. We were there this past Thursday and the food was excellent as it always is, and the waitress we had was awesome! She refilled our drinks without us asking and perfectly timed, i squirted catsup on my fries and it made a spurt sound... she immediately brought us another bottle, again without asking! We love it here and I know you will also!“
“this is my family's go to spot for coffee and caffinated yummy drinks. all the cold berry lattes are really nice and flavourful, the frappes and lattes are just right on the money and the food is always great, and clearly made by people who love what they do. also, the service is excellent. Margie and her staff are super cool.“
“Holy. Moly! If I could physically give a 10/10 stars, I would!!!!Wedding Cupcake - Tasting box + extras!My fiancé and I recently got a tasting box from Cake Street Sweets, and we were over the moon impressed!Firstly, their customer service is AWESOME! When I placed my order, I got a personal phone call - What I was looking for, flavors, what the event is for, and just getting to know me a little better (I even had to call back because I've been space-case wedding-bride brain lately - I had to re-confirm the appointment time because I forgot immediately after hanging up, lol!) they were super sweet and laughed with me about my bridal-brain.The cake was FANTASTIC - super flavorful, fun flavors, moist, just absolutely delish. Their frosting is some of the best frosting I've ever had - Not too sweet, perfect texture, and just the perfect amount of frosting to cupcake ratio!!!The tasting box itself was so cute and exactly what we were looking for! The box came with 6 different cupcakes (All AMAZING - As someone who doesn't even like Almond cake, I actually liked theirs in the tasting box!) And a few different cupcake filling options - and WOWIE! The fillings alone just by themselves were PERFECT. Amazing flavor, great texture, none too sweet and overall just 10 out of 10.Not only were they amazing on the phone and the cakes were amazing - but when we stopped by to pick up the cupcakes, they were also SO kind in person. Answered any questions we had and just gave off such a great vibe and atmosphere. They were super friendly and just overall, such a great personality! And their shop was super clean and just VERY cute, fun, and welcoming!We're trying one other cupcake (the cupcakes from our catering) but we're 99% sure we're wanting to go with them as our wedding cupcakes!!!!!!!!!We also purchased a couple extra cupcakes, and wowowowowowo - they were all spectacular! The Blueberry pie muffin cupcake, I could probably eat 12 million of them! The Cinnamon swirl cupcakes were the perfect combination on if a cinnamon bun & a cupcake had a baby - that would be it! Their chocolate is such a perfect chocolate flavor, Not too bitter, not too sweet - Everything we just loved!“
“If you like carrot cake, go order one now!! I had a large order placed which included a carrot cake, all flavors of cupcakes, and all the types of cannolis. Cakes were amazing! Frosting delicious. The cannolis I gotta say were disappointing but staff was great to work with and super “
“We were visiting from out of town during our daughter’s birthday.The birthday cake was delicious as were all of the extra cookies we couldn’t resist ordering when we came to pick up the cake.The owner was very helpful during the ordering process and is a super talented baker! Can’t wait to visit again.“
“What's there to say. It's the best bakery in the capital region. Whether you indulge a little or a lot in pastries and cakes.. Friday's they serve the best little round Pizza for a buck a piece and also they have Jeanettes idk if im saying it right its that lemon type soft cloudy cookie with clear icing on top. Oh boy if your dieting dont go in side you'll definitely go off your diet. But that's okKid-friendliness: Um... It's a bakery“

“We are happy to support a women owned business that has been family owned since 1866. Also pleased that the nearby Niskayuna Co-op carries their pies year round. The pies are 100% hand made! The Co-op takes orders at Thanksgiving. I put in an order and was amazed at the large tables filled with numerous pre ordered pies waiting for pickup. They were arranged by type. They are popular! My family likes the Apple Pie with a streusel top. Strawberry Rhubarb, and the mixed berry pie from Mourningkill. They make a sugar free Fruit of the Forest Pie. I like to make my own pumpkin pies. Their pies have a tender flavorful crust that is easy to slice and does not crumble. It does not taste mass produced like some commercial or frozen pies. Their pie fillings are not runny, so they slice and serve nicely. They make 10" and 5" pies. From the website: "Mourningkill Farm and Bake Shop is a family-owned farm that has been operating since 1866, specializing in the production of apples, rhubarb, and other fresh produce used to create their delicious pies and tea breads. With a commitment to using the highest quality local ingredients, their pies are made from scratch by hand, featuring a light crust that perfectly complements the flavors of their carefully selected fruits. Since 1976, the bake shop has been dedicated to producing simple and scrumptious pies, sticking to their original recipes that have stood the test of time. Customers can expect pies and breads made fresh to order, with pie baking days on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and tea bread baking day on Tuesday and/or Wednesday."“
“It's an awesome bakery! They do old school style baking, always have fresh items, the staff is amazing. The donuts and cupcakes are a must try!!! The danishes seems a bit too sweet because of the frosting, but I can't complain about all the other items I have tried. It's just the right amount of sugar for everything else and it's delicious.“
“As someone who can’t eat dairy, I’m so grateful for this bakery! The cakes are delicious - better than most traditional cakes I’ve tried! I ordered cupcakes here for my baby shower and Bri did an outstanding jib decorating them. Everyone at the gathering loved them. My expectations were exceeded.“
“I worked with Bri for my wedding, I just got married at the Maples Estate in early September. We did a small cake for my husband and I to cut, then macarons and cupcakes. Bri was truly one of my absolute favorite vendors to work with! It was so fun and collaborative. I shared our design board and some inspiration photos we had for our wedding, and Bri took it from there! Everything was beautiful, just so cute and all of her desserts are absolutely fantastic! Bri was so good about helping with numbers and figuring out what we needed, which was perfect. She also gave was super clear instructions for what needed to be refrigerated/what we needed to do to make sure the desserts were perfect by serving time. A few flavor shoutouts are necessary! First, Bri made us a custom fruity pebbles macaron flavor which was amazing and so fun, we love breakfast and wanted something to match that. The crème brûlée macaron is a MUST! The salted caramel cake and frosting is just wow. And a surprise combo for us, brown butter cake and creamsicle frosting is so tasty, we highly recommend!“
“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!“
“very cool. the breadth of products offered is impressive. they even have a fridge in the summer! honor system, bring cash but u can also pay via QR code. high quality; truly a legitimate self serve large menu bakery quality offering. there’s plenty of info and signage to meet all your needs sans employees.“
“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!!“
“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.“
“I NEVER leave reviews, but I just left this place with the raspberry that was on sample, and OMG they have cracked the recipe for light fluffy delicious Bundt cakes. Seriously if you need a cake for celebrating or just because, you won’t be disappointed! Definitely go get one of their 20 something flavors!“
