50 Best Bakeries near Oakland Gardens

“Lovely store with many Middle Eastern goodies and the ABSOLUTE BEST BARBARI BREAD IN NY! We make the trip from Long Island often just for the perfectly baked, authentic and delicious bread. The owners are wonderful and shopping in this store is always a pleasant experience.“

“I’ve lived in Chicago for 40+ years and have spent time on Boston’s North End enjoying Italian pastries and LITERALLY NOTHING COMPARES to Gino’s Pastry Shop. Joanne & Jerome are as genuine and caring about their customers as any business owner I’ve ever meet.My son and I were touring Fordham University and couldn’t wait to visit - the best news is he’s going to school there in the fall!!!Cappuccino (Will BLOW your MIND) & ‘no sugar’ of course. Jerome will ask you to try it 1st and boy was he right! Cannoli’s….simply outstanding, like you won’t get a better one. Cornetto…OMGGG!!!!Simply put, they just don’t make places like this anymore. You can taste the love and the old world charm of Italy in every bite.Sit down at the table and have a great conversation and hear some great stories!!“

“I love the concept of this place!!Their offerings are a mash up French baked goods and desserts x Filipino twist. My family has loved their cheesecake and I’ve appreciated the flakiness of their croissants, would love some greens to go on their breakfast sandwiches tho. Please drop and pay a visit! Tucked away near the little neck LIRR station, they have a few spots for parking.“

“I have been to this spot so many times and I love it the Atmosphere is amazing and very soothing and great spot for lunch time and Breakfast staff are amazing and very friendly and welcoming I love going there. Looking for a great spot they are your Best choice“

“Our family has been getting sweets from Shaheen for over 20 years. Recently ordered from Tariq uncle and Shaheen and our order was amazing! They were able to prepare a large order customised and on short notice!!Amazing fresh mithai and tastes better than anywhere else! Highly recommend for all your sweet needs.“

“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!“

“Cookies change every week, and they’re absolutely amazing! When I went my favorites were Chocolate Cookies & Cream, OatmealSkillet Cookie, and their limited editions Key Lime Pie! Which was an actual PIE! & the Olivia Rodrigo Guts cookie.“

“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 “

“We booked our son’s baptism with Frank’s steaks in RVC and they are affiliated with whistle stop for the occasion cake. I was so blown away by this cake I had to come and make a review. It’s so hard to find a good sheet cake for special occasions. The flavor and texture of the cake was so delicious. We chose a chocolate mouse filling and it exceeded our expectations. The cake was so so delicious and beautifully decorated, which is also hard to come by with these types of cakes. I would definitely use them for future occasion cakes. It was perfect and my guests were asking where the cake was from so they could use in the future. Thank you so much whistle stop. :)“

“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!“

“Found my new favorite place ! The chicken and beef empanada was a 10/10 and paired with that semi spicy red sauce was delightful. I paired my empanada with an Inka Kola. The customer service was beyond and the chef/baker was coming in and out with freshly baked cakes for wholesale. I definitely will be coming back here for their desserts.“

“This old-school Asian bakery serves some of the best sponge cakes that are, you guessed it, not too sweet. Yeh's Bakery has been a staple in Flushing for 36 years. Their Boston Cream Pie is made out of two layers of sponge cake and fresh cream, and is one of their best sellers. If you want it, make sure to come early because sometimes they sell out. It's so light and airy, so soft and fluffy, and so freaking good. Sponge cakes are already good, but sponge cakes with cream are even better. Yeh's also serves slices of some of their light, airy, and soft sponge cakes for $1.70 (sliced flavors like the green tea and vanilla, but not the strawberry or taro). Whole rolls go for $15 each. Cakes start at 8 inches with flavors including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, green tea, taro, and chestnut. You can even make the cakes into a heart shape! For their egg tarts, their custard is very light and soft. Great for people who don't like their egg tarts too creamy or heavy! Being a Taiwanese bakery, they also sell Taiwanese pineapple cakes at $2 each with two cake rectangles inside. The next time I go to Taiwan, imma eat pineapple cakes like these everyday. Don't forget to bring cash! What we ordered: Boston cream pie $2.75 green tea sponge cake $1.70 egg tart $1.70 Taiwanese pineapple cake $2 Total: $8.15“

“My bias bakery in the area now! So glad I found them!♥️♥️♥️ I tried lot of items.My favorite bread was the ?injeolmi cream bun! Which was red bean paste with soybean-flavored cream. Moist and creamy in each bite.Croissant items were good too, but couldn’t beat my first above. Salt butter ones were good choices.Pretzel was a little bit too soft for me, but the fig and nuts cream cheese was delicious.Last but not the least, ? bingsu was amazing..! It was a little bit pricy, but a huge bowl! The milk shaved ice was sooo rich.The only thing I would critique is coffee. Good coffee bean but the cappuccino was not creamy at all. Hopefully they can improve drinks!Parking: 4 in front of the store“

“This place looks very artsy on the outside, once you step inside you feel like you’re at home with the decor. There are two self serve kiosks which are really well designed and easy to use. The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Definitely come here for authentic Korean street food.“

“Goodies here are delicious. They can be just cause or a special occasion. I ordered macrons for my wedding that were amazing, they were fresh n super flavorful all guest loved them. I will continue to order and definitely refer Sweet LIL Sweets to all friends and family. Also good to know they were gluten free for my grand daughter.“

“Catered large Trays Mini Cassava balls Salt Fish Cakes with the sauces Tamarind and Mango . Delicious delicious delicious . All our guests could not stop talking about these appetizers. OMG JERK CHICKEN TO DIE FOR - Spicy and tender N JUICY leaves you wanting more. Again all our guests chattering about how delicious the jerk chicken was. MAC N CHEESE for the Vegetarians flavorful cheesy n delicious . My new go to for friends and family gatherings.“

“The croffles here are really good! I really like the blueberry, Oreo, and cherry flavors! They are pretty big and the price is very reasonable! The mochi donuts are ok, I'd rather get a croffle for two more dollars. The space is pretty tight so it can't accommodate large groups unless you go to the outside seating areas. Each time I have gone the staff have been eh, lots of workers scrambling around and not being helpful, but other than that the quality of the croffles out weighs my annoyance with the staff.“

“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 loved the s’mores mochi donut. One time I went and I thought the mochi donuts were a bit oily. The last time I went it was delicious. So it might depend on the day.Update.I went back to get the s’mores mochi donut April 25 2024. The mochi donut was delicious as usual although I don’t think it needs that much marshmellow fluff on top but you can just take some off. I tried the Ube Tres leche. It was amazing!!!!! It rivals the tres leche café in Manhattan which is the best one ever. It’s seriously amazing. Musttttt try!“

“Location/Ambience: 5/5 Outside it may seem mushed between restaurants and other shops but inside does well to take advantage of the space and make it a modern bakery/cafe. There really isn't anything distinctive when identifying it. It just lets the quality of its treats, pastries, cakes, sweets do the talking. Food: 4/5: I had a sandwich + chocolate mousse cake. Sandwich was about average but chocolate mousse was excellent. It really speaks to focus of quality towards their niche and abundance of selection of sweets Staff: 5/5: They are all standing behind the cashier/glass so someone is gonna get your items easy. They are all nice. Not much interaction from them beyond the counter. Price: 4/5: Sweets cost money $$$. Spend at your leisure XD Accessibility/Layout 4/5: Parking is by a strip mall, and there is a good amount of seating but it can fill up pretty quick. Entrance is accompanied by seating of about 30 on the left and a column along the right side opposite from the cashier for an extra 10 people. Basically the classic Starbucks vibe area to lounge around if you live nearby, if not a quick drop by, buy and go.“

“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!!!)“

“Wanted a nice cup of velvety not too sweet strong coffee! Found this gem and the Lady up front so sweet! Recommended a macchiato. Got the vanilla flavor and she made it perfect! So happy found another coffee spot that is worth the beans for your bucks! And service too!“

“Gelato is tasty and superb . ButThe ladies behind the counter had a noticeably annoying attitude . Maybe ill give them the benefit if the doubt that it was near closing time and there was still a handful of customersJust wanted to point that out because I know businesses always strive for improvement“

“Ever since my sister and I found out about this place, this has been our favorite place to get some tasty cookies, brownies, and cupcakes! We can’t get enough and it’s been our go-to place when we have a sweet tooth. The ladies that work there set the atmosphere extremely friendly and homey, they are very sweet and I would recommend you try out this place. You can definitely tell when something has been made with care and love!“

“A lovely, sunny and delicious respite from the cares of the world... How wonderful to find a place that serves top notch vegan fare--both sweet and some savory offerings too. Loved the rainbow cookies, Jamaican Patty and the black cake. The layer cakes are spectacular as well. Coffee, tea, chai, cappuccino--just some of the hot drink offerings to go with your treats. The owners are most congenial and welcoming, serving you with utmost care and attention. The bakery is light and airy with several tables to dine at. Located across the street from the Glen Oaks library on Union Turnpike, there is ample street parking as well as the large parking lot located behind the bakery. There is convenient access to public transportation too: the Q36 and Q46 stop steps away. My family and I truly enjoyed our time at Rose Valley bakery and cannot wait to do so again!“

“Some of the best cookies I ever tasted. Me and some work colleagues accidentally walked a mile to the factory instead of the actual cookie store on accident. instead of turning us around the owner came out, gave us a tour of the factory and gave us cookies and a story about how they got started. It was an amazing gesture, I recommend these cookies and they have the best business opportunity if you’re interested in opening a store yourself great people great service great cookies.“

“Naira Bread is a West African Store with Nigeria food….You can get one of the best popular Nigeria bread ( Agege Bread) here in loaf or Sliced with anything to go with it, e.g Nigeria local beans with the native stew to blend with it. You can’t regret it. An amazing “

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely 5-Stars!!! Highly recommend A Love for Cakes! Sabine was amazing to work with. She took my ideas and executed them perfectly to create the most perfect cake for my boyfriend's 40th Birthday!! The whole process was easy and Sabine was very responsive to all my inquiries. The cake was delivered to the restaurant as requested and when the cake arrived at our table, my boyfriend's jaw hit the floor. He loved it. Thank you Sabine for making this day such a memorable experience. ☺️“

“First time here with my family! Lovely place with all the sweets! Owner very friendly! We got two cupcakes, a chocolate brownie and a coconut ube cookie! Cookie not too sweet, cupcakes are delicious and the chocolate brownie definitely my favorite ^u^ Will definitely go back and try the rest of the sweets that they have!“

“Great food and very very friendly, I been going here for like 16 or 17 years the 2 sisters are very friendly they make you feel welcome, I really recommend this place, if you haven’t try it you need to. Many blessings & many many more “

“I have to share my experience with the special bread we call it shoureki , We usually use it for special occasions. It was out of this world, the flavours of bread it stays not only in your mouth it follows you in your mind like you're gonna have more ,even if you have to watch out ,it is worth it, we thank you.“

“Always order for delivery and the food is great! I wonder how good it is in the store. We get the smash burgers which are filled with onions, jalapeños, and house sauce. The bun is a brioche bun that's buttered. We also ordered k-wings which aren't as big as other Korean wing spots but the sauce is on point and IMO the perfect size. Our order came with the twist bread to try we opted for cinnamon sugar. It is a mochi donut super chewy and delicious!“

“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“

“Service is great and SUPER friendly. but lets talk bout the sweets !!! They are INSANE!!! the carrot cake is unreal!! my latest sweets obsession is the macaroons !!! and they are the perfect Valentine's day gift !! perfectly wrapped for Vday too !! got the lg box for my daughter and 5 small boxes for nieces and MIL.. LOVE THEM !! THANKS DOLCE!!!“

“I thought I didn’t have cash on me and the owner offered my little one a free cookie after I told her I left my money. That in itself deserves 5 stars. I found my cash shortly after but he refused to take the money so I placed it in the tip jar. Since this incident we have been a loyal customer and will stop by for a cookie or two every Thursdays. Thank you so much for your kind heart and for making my little one smile. We also love the strawberry cakes!“

“Today I purchased some cupcakes and they were phenomenal!! Highly recommend coming here for desserts. I have been wanting to try their stuff for a minute now and today I had a sweet tooth, and it was definitely exceptional. Definitely will be spreading the word and will be coming back.“

“Wow, this place was incredible. They serve incredible French press coffee and have a large selection of expertly prepared Filipino desserts. We got a mango souffle, mango creme brulee, and the ube tiramisu. Each was so delicious and the textures were so smooth. They also serve hot food but we didn't order any.I highly recommend this place for cheap delicious treats.“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent and cozy I loved the homemade flavor that I found in this place, everything was very fresh and I felt very well attended (Original)Excelente y acogedor me encanto el sabor casero que encontré en este lugar todo muy fresco y muy bien atendida me sentí“

“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.“

“Wonderful bagels, we enjoyed with the family some incredible bagels with salmon, onion, the delicious sauce and avocado, phew definitely exceeded our expectations, we discovered it recently and we loved it, very good service.Vegetarian options: Salads and bagels“

“To begin with... it fills me with joy to have a Uruguayan Bakery near where I live, nothing better than having things that make you remember your beloved homeland. We come very often to eat here and buy takeaway. The cakes that I order are delicious, everyone is super satisfied and happy with the quality. The cream on the outside is always super sweet, but these cakes don't make you sick and make you want to continue eating more! Congratulations to the pastry chef who is a genius! Everything else we have bought is always fresh. The crumb sandwiches that you always worry are not going to be fresh, well here they are always delicious and fresh. Spectacular attention as always! Many thanks for everything!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This cake was beyond beautiful! It exceeded my expectations ?? The service for ordering was so easy and simple. Oh and by the way it was deliciously made as well. My daughter had specifically requested this cake for her 16th bday and she was extremely happy when she saw it. Thank you Blue Royale Cakes for making my daughter’s cake one of the best yet!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Bring back the original yogurt with granola and berries please! The new container is smaller and has more plastic so it’s harder to mix everything. There’s also less fruit and the granola is different too! The lemon and peach infused choices don’t hold a candle to the original formula. Keep them for customers who like them AND bring back what was always selling out ?“

“One of the best places for cakes and muffins. We were big fan of this place since a long time and glad to come to this new store. The cakes are full of buttercream and just the right amount of sweetness.The ingredients are Halal, so quite a relief for the Muslims to eat the Mousse. Also, appreciate the blend of flavors available.I didn't like the slice of brownie as I found it very dry inside.“
