“Bread & Cocoa's owner, Laurie, has a smorgasbord of carb delights. And of course, there are lots of chocolate goodies at this bakery on Boston Post Rd in Larchmont, NY. Truth be told, if you live nearby or just happened to be in the area like I was, Bread & C. should be at the top of your list to visit. Not because the owner will gladly give you something on the house because you only carry your card and don't have enough cash on you to pay for your entire order. But because that's how she is. And, it happened to me. You can tell right of the bat, Laurie has a passion for offering pastries and pleasing their customers. Regardless, Bread & C. has probably gained a lot of attention for the Croissants, Macarons, Cookies, etc. I seriously think though it's because of her Parisian-inspired Hot Chocolate. You're in for a treat. If you know me on Yelp, then you know I haven't had coffee in like umpteen years and when I go for Hot Chocolate or Hot Cocoa, it better be orgasmic. This was it. Top-quality chocolate is used because after all, this is Larchmont. The end result was the perfect balance of rich flavors and silky texture. It's a treat that was both comforting and luxurious. It almost transported me right to a cozy Parisian café on a crisp winter's day. It's a small place but it's mighty and so worth the trip!“
“Very low-key and cute place. I had their "Fancy grilled cheese" which was super yummy, not as filling as I'd like for the price but delicious nonetheless. Their vanilla latte w/ oat milk was SO good I wanted more, been thinking about it all day. I also really enjoyed their game selection. My friend and I stayed and played for a while. Will certainly be coming back.“
“I stopped in quickly for a croissant and an apple turnover. Wow! They were absolutely delicious. Really great flaky pastry extremely buttery and just perfect. The gentleman working there was very nice and efficient. I would love to come back and try something else!“
“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.“
“Raphaël's is far and away the best bakery I've ever been to. To begin with, the quality of the food is absolutely top notch across the board. I never had anything less than delicious from there and they offer a wide variety of options. From traditional French baked goods to chocolate matzo toffee bars to chocolate cookie croissants, there's always something for everyone. The ingredients are also high quality and they don't pack in any junk or preservatives (unlike grocery store bought bread which has an unnaturally long shelf life). I also love how easy is it to get here. They're right off Greenwich Ave and the area is quiet and serene. Well, quiet- ish. Since the day they opened their doors, Raphaël's often has a line out the door. Which is amazing because they opened their doors during Covid in middle of the winter - when most businesses were failing and closing. That should tell you something right there. Still, they're very efficient with checking out patrons and the line moves pretty fast so don't let that scare you away. It's absolutely worth the few minute wait if theres a line. I think Raphaël's continues to be so popular not just because they have great baked goods and a lovely location but they're also the nicest people I've ever met. The bakery is run by a wonderful French family that makes every visit here such a pleasure. If you want to support a local business while enjoying the best croissant you'll ever eat, you need to stop by Raphaël's. You will not regret it.“
“I’m one of their repeated customer not only for the authenticity of their Italian pastries cakes and and gelato… but also for their will yo make me happy every time I ask if they can do something outside of their menu…i love visit and have my cappuccino at the place where I get to unwind. The owner know me as soon as I walk in and they already know what my usual is ☺️. I dine in but I also take a lot to go …. Everything is good I will just mark some of my repeatsDietary restrictions: If in doubt ask the server“
“Loves this place. Patties taste like the one back home. The Veggie patties are my favorite, love the bread so nice and soft. Staff is great and freindly. Place is small but that's ok with me and in and out. They have a refrigerator with juice. They cheese , Bun . All the nice things to consume. Makes my mouth water talk about it.“
“Way more than just an espresso bar. They have a kitchen and bakery and all of the food and deserts are amazing. The best coffee I've ever had as well. The prices are some of the cheapest you can find these days. It's a phenomenal place in every “
“Quaint, friendly, family-owned café with delicious offerings all around.I've been going once a week the past month, and I've tried almost everything this place offers. The food is incredible (I'm most partial to the croissants). From the coffee to the breakfast offerings to the truffles, I haven't had something I didn't think was excellent. And they make it all in-house!The staff is great. I've been in during busy times and slower times, and they're always working hard and friendly. (And the cute barista behind the counter is always nice to see.)I've worked in service in the past and so it's impressive to see them in action when the lines start forming. Really love going there. Can't recommend this place highly enough.“
“The moment you walk through the door, the smell is captivating. It's lures you to the wonderful cashiers who always have a wonderful smile on their face. I never see them miserable, such inviting workers, and they know their regulars.I usually have their Sticky Bun and Chocolate Swirl. The sticky bun flavor profile is breathtaking, the bread is tender and sweet, the glaze on top is amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better pastry to start my morning. The chocolate swirl is just as good. The flaky bread and smoothness of the chocolate add a really nice feel for the pastry. I believe there is cream inside, too. If I could ask a question, I'd ask if they added cream and what kind? It's just that good!Parking: On the side of the building I believe there is parking as well in front of the store.“
“These are all my cookies i have ever gotten from crumbl. They were all delicious. Cannot eat a whole cookie in one sitting tbh but that is not a bad thing at all! That means I can savor the cookie over a period of time woo! My favs from the times I've got crumbl were blueberry cheesecake, snickerdoodle cupcake, cannoli and cinnamon square! Many awesome and yummy flavors. The store is very clean and smells of fresh cookies. Yummmm“
“Stepping into Boleria is like being warmly embraced by a slice of Brazilian warmth right here in town. The ambiance is light and inviting, making it a perfect haven for anyone looking to work away from the office or home, thanks to the reliable WiFi.What sets Boleria apart for me, though, is the impeccable quality of their offerings. The coffee is nothing short of fantastic, a perfect companion to their array of delicious Brazilian desserts. The guava cheesecake is a standout, offering a taste of tropical paradise with every bite. And then there are the cheese balls – I must confess, I am absolutely obsessed with them, and for good reason; they’re a crowd favorite for their authentic flavor and perfect texture.But Boleria isn’t just about the sweets. Their traditional lunch offerings, like the freshly made soups and sandwiches, are a testament to their versatility and commitment to quality. Every dish feels like a labor of love, a piece of Brazilian culinary tradition served with care.I can’t recommend Boleria enough. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. It’s more than just a bakery; it’s a delightful experience that you’ll want to return to time and time again.“
“We ordered The Crepe house and the cinnamon toast crunch crepe. Both crepes were delicious. If you want something not soo sweet I would recommend The crepe house. The Cinnamon toast crepe was more on the sweeter side. Will definitely be coming back. Service was great too!“
“Delightful little shop off the Main Street in Harrison. Friendly people, good selection, and good coffee :)Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options to facilitate various needsKid-friendliness: Very friendly environment for children“
“Can’t sing their praises high enough, the man and woman who work behind the counter here every day always know your order, greet you with a friendly good morning and treat everyone with respect. They work hard and obviously care about their customers. I even started learning some Albanian words and phrases to show the care and respect is mutual. Great coffee at good prices, good pastry and love the organic environmentally friendly soaps and other products too. They are a huge plus for the neighborhood.“
“I highly recommend Booskerdoo! Not only is the product they sell of superior quality, but the customer service and the care with which they manage the coffee shop makes it truly feel like home! The staff is AWESOME!Kid-friendliness: The staff is amazing with kids! They treat them as the customers they truly are!“
“The employees make this place super friendly, fun, and welcoming. They’re knowledgeable and show genuine empathy when discussing, recommending, or answering questions about products with patients. I love it, great vibe and cool folks!Friendly staff with a great selection! Good quality stuff. Everyone should shop here fore all their medical needs.“
“Delicious pastry, reasonable prices, wonderfully helpful staff. They have assorted Italian style cookies, cakes, and a small variety of other pastry, such as donuts and honey buns. I highly recommend their coffee cake. It is wildly delicious, roughly $16.00, and very addictive if you are not careful ?. 01/2024“
“We got 36 cupcakes ordered for my daughter's 3rd birthday and they were incredibly decorated and delicious. The butter cream frosting was light and flavorful and the cake was baked to perfection. We had a rainbow theme so all cupcakes had a rainbow frosting. We always come in the store for a quick treat and to get the best crumb cake in Westchester“
“BEST coffee in Irvington!!! I'm there often for large orders to bring to work and Mike and Brittany are so patient, kind, and deeply care for their community. We always have such great conversation while they make my oat latte. So much love is put into what they do-- amazing coffee, incredible pastries, and do NOT sleep on that egg sandwich.“
“Delicious neighborhood bakery. Wish they were open daily! Placed an order on the phone with Joe a week before an event, he said I didn't need to leave a deposit. Went back the day of, the cake and pastries were ready! Amazing service! Thank you“
“I love this little Gem in town. I absolutely love this backery there isn't a thing I've tried that was not delicious. The chocolate cake was so moist and rich. And the Lemon coffee cake was amazing. The cookies are soft and fresh EVERY single time I've ordered them. But good luck scoring some they are so good they usually sell out early. This is definitely a must try.“
“THE BEST. I use lulus for everything, but I’m specifically writing this review about my wedding cake, which was out of this world. Every single one of my guests said it was the best cake they’ve ever had in their entire lives. Taste was 10 out of 10 it’s rare you get a place that is capable of doing exquisite decoration, but also not compromising the deliciousness of the cake because you can’t have a nice looking cake that tastes terrible and vice versa. Lulu did not fail to deliver. It was a cake out of a magazine. Anybody in the Westchester area probably knows that this is the best and so this is just another review to say yes yes they are the best. I use them for every birthday every every event, and I will continue to do so. Absolutely love them.“
“Rewriting a review: I wrote a review previously but I realized I was having a bad day. This place is one of my favorites. Whenever i am stressed, I run over there to sit down and relax.I miss their bagels, but they have great stuff. I love their activities outside. My family really enjoys it.I really recommend the good witch coffee bar for anyone!“
“Ordered the fresh cream cake with strawberry filling for a birthday last week- compliments all around from the guests! The delivery driver through door dash was unresponsive but I called the shop and she had a back up plan in case the cake didn’t show! Really thankful for how helpful she was!“
“Great local bakery. Everything is always fresh the only complaint I would have is that they are cash only and usually you will have to wait for the ladies behind the counter to finish with their phones or conversation before they acknowledge you. Otherwise the food and pastries are top notch“
“My first time trying this place since it changed its name. We ordered tamales, tacos and a torta. Tamales taste authentic, much larger than what I’m used too, but that’s a plus. Torta had a lot of meat, very good. Tacos were also very good, and loaded with meat. I enjoyed the salsa verde and the spicy red salsa as well. I’ve been hoping for a good authentic Mexican spot in Whitestone so I don’t have to drive to College Point or Corona, so glad I gave this place another chance.“
“Been standard for years in my household to come here for birthday cakes. Nothing needs to be changed, they're doing great work without having to sling cake pops. Consistent, great quality, always experienced quick and friendly service.“
“Great bakery with amazing sandwiches and pastries. Now they opened a meat restaurant next door!! I took my daughter to eat at Noir last night. Was really good! The plum salad with the citrus beet dressing was amazing. Like so fresh and we couldn’t get enough of that dressing!!! And I loved the shaved fennel salad too…my daughter doesn’t like fennel so, more for me!!! We shared the schnitzel because I heard it was the best and it was so yummy! perfectly crunchy and tasty and moist. The servers were friendly and attentive. The dining room filled up while we were there, on a random Tuesday!! And everyone seemed to be enjoying. Can’t wait to go back.“
“I'll be the dumb upstate tourist who says this eatery is named after Dua Lipa's father! I really enjoyed the savory meat burek, fabulous alternative to pizza. "Burek Oboma" means "burek for the both of them!" Also have a can of Golden Eagle, the soon-to-be famous Kosovo energy drink.“
“Deanna made up sample cakes for my daughter’s wedding. We were blown away with the freshness and taste of these cakes.. I have never had such a fluffy buttercream in my life. Each cake was delicious and making a choice will be a tough one. I highly recommend Cestra’s Bakery. They are top notch. We will return!“
“Wildly Cakes created a Lego Cake for my daughters' birthday party and we all thought it was absolutely amazing.My girls loved it and the guests thought the cake and filing were perfection!Last year she made us a Unicorn cake. It was stunning!Highly recommend both for their beautiful creations as well as their delicious cakes, fillings and icings.“
“My sister surprised us with Patty’s Pops for our engagement party in February 2020 so when we got married in August 2021 we had to have these treats for our guests. All the desserts were beautiful and delicious and elevated our wedding to the next level.“
“Nothing Bundt Cakes have been on my radar for sometime. I created an account and joined their club even before I had the opportunity to try them. I am unsure where I first learned about them but something intrigued me enough to become a"member" and that is saying something. Lol.Back in June I was in Stamford, CT for an event at another local eatery and just happened to be a 5 minute drive away from a location and decided to give them a try. Needless to say that was a success so when I happen to be in close proximity to a location I do not mind a minor detour. Like the other location this store is bright and whimsical with different selections suitable for all occasions even the more often than not "just because" occasion.Since I am notably still a novice I was unsure what bundtlet flavor to try this time around. I decided to go with something other then my "go to" flavor of Red Velvet. I picked carrot and strawberries & cream to try. Both great choices that I enjoyed within the next day or two.The bundtlets were ultra moist and traveled well and were still moist and delectable a few days later. Definitely worth trying if in the area.Just A Note:If you purchase a few flavors to try at a later time. Remove them from the refrigerator, and let them come to room temperate for the optimal taste experience.“
“This is a small bakery focused on breads and they have a ravioli section. Bread is amazing and fresh. My favorite is the olive focaccia . The rolls and bagels are great. I would love to come back for ravioli. If you want fresh homemade breads try this place out .“
“They have the best cupcakes and cakes! We asked the owners to bake us cakes and cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday and my son's Baptism and both cakes were so beautifully baked, delicious and exactly what we wanted! The cupcakes are equally amazing and my absolute guilty pleasure! I even bought them for my daughter's daycare teachers and my co-workers for Mother's Day and they were a total hit every time! We also love ordering from them for birthday celebrations and 'just because'! Highly recommend! They use fresh ingredients and never disappoint! My best friend is now also hooked! Lol“
“I ordered a cannoli cake for my father’s 90th birthday. I called, they answered, guided me as to what I would need based on the event and number of people, charged a very fair price and done! The cake was ready on time and more importantly DELICIOUS! I highly recommend them.“
“I will definitely come back and edit this review if I visit again and have a different experience.The baked goods purchased were enjoyed by my family and they had a decent selection for a smaller bakery.The atmosphere however was cold and the staff was not friendly at all. There were some preteen girls hanging out at the tables. The person helping me was more interested in making faces about every question I asked (over my shoulder with the girls) than helping me. It was a very weird experience. Not what I’m used to in present day diverse Pelham. Providing a safe space is cool but it should not become a mean girl experience towards customers. Thnx“
“Ohhh YES! Because their mission is so admirable is reason alone to drink the coffee. Notwithstanding, this is THE BEST COFFEE IN WHITE PLAINS: by the cup, by the bean, by the bag...BUY IT ALL, ALL THE TIME! Yummy baked treats, truffles and etc. keep me coming back. Comfortable tables and armchairs. Clean and spotless all over...bathrooms too. The owners and all the servers want you to be happy when you're there and when you leave. They see to THAT. It's about WP finally had a REAL COFFEE JOINT.“
“THE ABSOLUTE BEST ITALIAN BAKERY in the world! I’ve tried others in Westchester! No comparison! Worth the trip to the NE Bronx! I always pre-order, as parking near there can be challenging! Helps to have a copilot in the vehicle so one can double park! Still very much worth the trip!“
“I stopped in here not realizing it was a gluten-free bakery. I'm so glad, because had I known I probably wouldn't have bothered. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have known. Everything was delicious. My favorite were the coconut macaroons.“
“I had been wanting to try this place and decided on a whim to stop by when we happened to get dinner nearby, and was so glad we did! We had the mont blanc and Oreo croffles (they only had a few options left at the end of the day). They still tasted fresh, great texture, and flavors were nice without being too sweet. I hope they expand their savory options too, but either way will definitely be back!“
“Stopped in here about six times over the last couple of months, being in the area on and off for business and just had to, it had been a while, I'm a New Yorker now living in another state and just have to stop for good NY food, like the bread here. Great bakery. Bread is delicious. Service is wonderful. Local flavor and culture shine through. Love the olive bread!!!!“
“They saved my sons birthday! We just got back from vacation and were scrambling to get his party together. I thought I had everything planned but an hour before ppl were to arrive, I realized I forgot his cake (i know - insanity with back to school chaos). Called them in a panic to see if there was any random cupcakes / etc I could buy up. She was so sweet (i was truly panicked) and whipped up 30 cupcakes, decorated with a soccer theme (soccer ball and grass!). All within the hour. The kids loved them and the party was saved! Thank you!“
“Love this place!!!!!!! I had Jimmy and his crew cater a major party we had with over 75 people and their stuff was a hit. Their spinach and cheese pies were amazing and the various desserts they catered were beyond delicious. Jimmy was awesome to deal with, I told him how many people we were having, he helped me with my order to make sure we had enough for everyone and not one thing was left over. Love dealing with people who do the right thing.“
“I've been patronizing Paul's for over 10 yrs! When I tell you his patties are flaky, hot, buttery, filling and just plain melt in your mouth delicious goodness! Many other patty places but this one I will drive and fight for a parking spot for! He made me feel comfortable when I first moved up here from Atlanta so that customer service is A-[!!“
“This is our favorite spot in Pelham. We love taking lunch dates here. The food and pastries are always great, and the staff are always easygoing. A feel good, eat good spot! Especially love when we get the table by the window and the sun is shinning. All around, always a good experience. Oh and my go to is the grilled avocado cheese toast. Perfectly buttered toast with the perfect crunch. Man likes the steak and eggs!“
“LOVE THIS PANADERÍA!!Took the family here after dinner in town and they immediately fell in love. They all come here now. We are more than happy to travel about an hour to have goodies from here. This is our spot for all celebrations.Their puercitos are my favorite, a good authentic one is difficult to to find but no longer.“
“Had coffee & tea early in the morning with a friend two days ago—fabulous tea service and the cappuccino was just right.Went back later with my son--he LOVED their chicken club sandwich. What's not to love? It was a generous portion. Plenty of chicken and amazing sauce on the side and FRESH french fries. Service was more than attentive. The waitress was lovely and when I looked up for a moment just to take in the beautiful space, a male server stepped over to see if I needed anything. Asked me if I needed lemon or honey with the tea-- that impressed me. Usually you have to ask for everything. Also lovely attention to details with the choice of dishes and cutlery and variety of cups for drinks. Lots of options for pastries as well. Will go back again this weekend for sure! Great job!“
“We tried this place out curiosity and fell in love from the first bite. We love the story behind this bakery and that it’s one man and his passion and creativity for dessert against the world. There are special details to everything that elevate the experience from start to finish. We’ve tried basically everything on the menu and would get everything again and again. The butter and shortbread cookies - we never leave home without them. Their cakes are the only ones we use for for family special occasions. We get the vanilla tea cakes on weekends. This place shows me how great life could be if we all lived in our passions. “
