“I walked in needing a cup of coffee from the long drive up. I was greeted with friendly smiles and excellent service. I asked the worker for some pastry recommendations which what she recommended was delicious ( can't remember the name) She made me one of the best cafe con leches I've ever had.“
“Great pizza dough. I make homemade pizza and Birritellas dough is the best. Unfortunately many supermarkets seem to not know what temperature to keep it at or it sits too long on the shelves . Not sure the issue exactly but the further I've gone from ny the worse it seems.. But the good news is Birritellas will ship in small quantities right to my door!!! No more searching through the bin at the supermarket only to find packs of dough full of little black speckles or yellowish liquid filling the bottom of the bag! I now get my dough fresh from the source ! Fantastic !“
“My daughter celebrated her 9th Birthday she had a blast. She loves being in the kitchen. Susan and the girls are very nice and helpful. They kept the kids engaged with different activities. It was very pleasant and Susan is a great, humbled person. During our interactions she listened and always kept the kids in mind.“
“I've been coming to Glitter Thicket for years and still feel enchanted every time I visit! It's a charming cafe with a full menu of delicious sweet and savory vegan offerings, an art gallery showcasing local artists, a cozy gathering space where you can play trivia with strangers and feel like you've spent the evening with good friends. The owner is lovely and crafts the food and space with such care that you really feel like you've stumbled into somewhere quite special. Whether you are hungry for a BLT or breakfast sandwich (highly recommend), a cupcake or peanut butter cookie (can't leave without getting one), or inspiration for doing/making, wander into Glitter Thicket!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan/plant-based!Dietary restrictions: So awesome to have legitimately good vegan options--and lots of them (the whole menu)!“
“Experience/Environment: Anywhere with art and a record player will automatically win me over lol. You can even purchase art they have on the walls too.Price: Normal coffee shop prices.Food: Iced coffee did the trick. Caffeine content and taste was perfect.Service: I only interacted with the girl at the register. She helped answer all my questions about the menu and was kind. Sorry! I didn’t get her name!NTT [[Next Time Try]]: Likely a pastry lol.Thank me later ;) Smile, eat, hydrate. Live honest and don’t settle. Hope to see you out there! xo“
“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.“
“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.“
“The food is delicious! However, the setup can be a little confusing to people who have never been there before. You basically enter and walk to the left where they have plastic gloves for you to grab what you want. When you walk a little further where the bread is, you will see paper bags on your left for you to place your items in. I love how you can grab freshly made bagels off of the conveyer belt. They are the best! The only thing I would add if I were them, are signs on their desserts. They all look so delicious, but it can get a little confusing and frustrating for the customer and worker when you keep asking what things are and it definitely holds up the line. Other than that, I love this place and it is very reasonably priced.“
“We were in Nyack to walk around before we headed back to BK and thought we'd stop for coffee and a pastry. I was hoping for a cappuccino but the machine looked like it was out of use so I got a black coffee -- not bad. What was great was the apple tart: lots of juicy apples, delicious crème patissiere, and a laminated crust. The pastries are HUGE -- the apple slice was more than enough for both of us. They have a small selection of macarons, which we didn't try, and a lot of other pastries (no eclairs, alas). Plus it seems to be a family owned business. I would definitely go back.“
“Not only was customer service on point but from one Chef to another one baker to another. Well done Chef Maria Caputo. Even Hannah was great and knowledgeable. Even the Tik-ToK cookies we over the top. Big smile here! Yum Yum was well worth the visit!“
“Flours tremendously stands out from your usual cafe. Not only can you stop in for a coffee (amongst other delicious drinks like a butterfly tea lemonade) and a sweet treat, you can buy a plethora of pastas and sauces to prep for dinner or the whole week! Sofia’s passion for quality sourced ingredients does not go unnoticed from the taste to the way you feel after you eat it. Flours is the only pasta I can eat that doesn’t make me lethargic or have a stomach ache after. I also have learned a lot about grains through their pasta. They have speciality pastas with grains such as rye, einkorn, and spelt which tastes delicious and nutritionally stands out from box pasta and other fresh pastas. Anywho, long story short, definitely make your way over to Flours! Go for the pasta and stay for the daily specials and baked goods. You will NOT regret it.“

“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!“

“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“
“Adorable, delicious and friendly! Ordered their out-of-this-world chocolate chunk cookies for a birthday party and they were a huge hit! Staff is great-- Jolanta in particular has such a wonderful, can-do attitude and is always smiling and welcoming customers by name.This place is a winner!“
“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.“
“We ordered a cake and cookies for my daughter’s first birthday which was an Alice in “Onderland” theme. The cake and cookies were absolutely incredible! First of all, the presentation was amazing, the cake was perfect, just like the Disney movie. One of our little guests walked up to it and said “wow! that looks like a cartoon!”. The cannoli filling was one of the best I’ve had. The cookies were beautiful, I almost didn’t want to eat them but they were delicious. I will definitely be a returning customer and will recommend this bakery to anyone looking to have an event with delicious treats!“
“No offense to the Colombian empanadas, but I much prefer the Argentinian empanada. Colombian empanadas are smaller and fried whilst Argentinian empanadas are larger and baked. That being said I love the empanadas at Los Andes are delicious. They have a good variety of other dishes as well.The establishment is tight so a visit with a group larger than 3 is not recommended. What i do recommend is taking a box of empanadas to go. They taste even better warmed up.Besides the empanada I had the fully loaded Chilean hot dog. The hot dog was a bit thin, but the combinations atop the hot dog were delicious. Also, they make a great cup of coffee.I make a trip to Los Andes every year for the Halloween parade with a sporadic viskt when I get a craving. FYI...I leave a bit ovee 50 miles away.Wheelchair accessibility: None“
“This place is the best. Good quality coffee and nice baristas. Lots of parking... Only complaint: they take so long. If you're in a rush, don't come here. If you get stuck behind even 3-4 people in line - you will be waiting for your coffee for a while. it would also be one thing if the Barista's's were working extremely quickly, but they take their sweet time and are basically in slow motion / don't really seem to care at all that there's a line out the door of people waiting. Regardless, this coffee is amazing, the shop is so cute and just wanted to give some constructive criticism on the service because sometimes it is the one thing that stops me from coming and going somewhere else!“
“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!“
“Absolutely LOVE Bella's! We have been fans since the day they opened their doors. We have supported them every step feom smaller store, to markets, and now are excited for the newest storefront. Every staff member that I encounter is friendly and helpful! The Baked goods are incredibly delicious. The sourdough and French Cruellers are our favorites, but you can' miss the Supreme Croissants and macarons! We make sure to pick up bread and/or treats every holiday, and enjoy coffee and breakfast sandwiches during the week. I often suggest Bella's when I am meeting a friend for coffee.“
“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.“
“On my birthday, my husband and daughter tried to find a small yellow cake with chocolate frosting at 5 different bakeries in the area, with no success. I called Allie's Bakery, and they had EXACTLY what I wanted! I ordered the cake, and my husband and daughter went to pick it up. When they got home, I was delighted to see that even though it was small, Allie's had neatly and carefully written Happy Birthday with my name across the top, and the whole family agreed it was delicious. They were helpful and nice on the phone and, most importantly, they make great cakes! We will definitely go there next time we need a cake!“
“The official cake lady is officially our go to bakery!! Kim did our sons cake for his superhero party this weekend and WOW so cool and creative even included lights (iron man themed) !!! The cake was delicious too!!! She’s done a couple of cakes for us already and everyone raves about it!! She was so easy to work with and so kind!! She even texted me links from Amazon for a cake topper. It was a pleasure Kim to work with you and your staff!! Thank you!! People are still talking about your cake!! ;) Oriana from Liam’s superhero party!“
“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.“
“I called keremo cakes with a last minute request to make a custom cake for my wife’s birthday. They had the cake ready in one day and we couldn’t be happier. I sent them a picture of what I was looking for and they made it even better than the picture!“
“I came here on a Sunday afternoon to work. It's a small place, so there are not many tables, but they have WiFi and outlets. The cafe is covered in real plants. The servers were kind and friendly and you could tell the barista was passionate about the art of coffee. The food and drinks were great: * Matcha Yuzu - 10/10 - The matcha flavor is not strong and earthy, so it's perfect for non matcha lovers. The yuzu syrup adds a nice brightness of flavor, and the addition of the sparkling water makes the drink extra refreshing. I saw the barista hand whip the matcha too. * Cortado - 8/10 - I'm not a coffee drinker, so take this review with a grain of salt. This drink is pretty strong since it's equal parts espresso and milk, but I liked the flavor of the beans. * Chocolate Croissant - 8.5/10 - The pastry was buttery, flakey and light. I wish there was a bit more chocolate tho because only 1/3 of the bites had chocolate. Overall, I would definitely come again for the vibes and food. I want to try their hot food options next time.“
“As a Belgian, it’s hard to find patisserie that tastes like home. I’m so happy I found this bakery, because they do hit the mark! They sell French style desserts of excellent quality and flavor. It’s expensive, but not exuberant (we paid $65 for a cake that served 10 people). I’ll definitely come back here!“
“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.“
“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.“
“They have the absolute best lavender latte ever made!! The staff are so kind, and the one manager remembers me lol I was so shocked when I came in a second time a week later and he goes “oh you were here before! Lavender latte!” And he was so nice. I love when the staff are genuinely so friendly to the customers. The food is also amazing, and delicious. Totally love this spot and highly recommend it to everyone :)“
“Did phenomenal job with my daughter's birthday cake, beyond amazing cake, they made a fantastic delicious mermaid cake , came out above my expectations , everyone loved it in the party. I can’t thank you enough, you made that day extra special!“
“Birdie's Batch has the most delicious jams, jellies, and treats around, made by the kindest and most talented mother-daughter duo. We look forward to every market visit when we get to try their latest seasonal baked goods (they are all hits), and our pantry is always stocked with their jam.We love the jam so much, that for our wedding, we purchased 4 oz. jars of Birdie's Batch jelly as favors for our guests. Sara and Vinnie were beyond delightful to work with throughout that process, and the jelly was fantastic as always. We love hearing the rave reviews from our guests who have already enjoyed it at home. Hopefully we've created many more fans for one of our favorite local businesses! ;)“
“A very good canele—it had great flavor and the outside was crunchy, but the inside was mushier than I like.Also a solid croissant—it had a nice crisp outside and also excellent flavor, but it’s a softer croissant whereas I prefer a more structured croissant.A pity they don’t have the space for indoor seating. Will definitely be back to try more items.“
“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. “
“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.“
“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!“
“Old style Italian Macaroni deli..if you're in the 'Know' - you'll find it.Ravioli, Gnocchi etc - Sauce - assorted Italian imported products.Picked up Ravioli for my Sunday dinner ? later today. Cash ? Only - Unfortunately.“
“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.“
“This is the best bakery in New York by far. Everytime I am in the area from CT I need to get the triple chocolate cake. It is the best thing your mouth will ever taste. It is so good that it makes me want to give Anna a hug. The triple chocolate cake is just one of the many good things from here. Do yourself a favor and stop here next time you’re in congers.“
“First time there I went with my motorcycle beautiful road to get there . Easy for parking . Great food and the workers were very nice .I dropped by mistake my cake after I ate food .They replaced for me with no charge that was very nice of them clearly was my fault.Definitely trying to go there every Sunday!Parking: Very easy to park for car/motorcycles“
“I purchased my daughter’s first birthday cake last year and it was exactly what I wanted and more! Diane was soooo helpful in deciding what flavors to get and just how I wanted the cake overall. The cake tasted amazing and I’ve had so many people ask me where I purchased the cake. ?Thank you Diane!“
“I absolutely love this place. There are super kind. They carried my cake to my car for me. They help you bring your vision to life. This is where I got all my families and friends cakes, cupcakes from. Not only the taste is amazing but the details are great. I post one of my favorite ones.“
“Quick stop traveling through to Blaze. Parking on street residential area. Ice cream is excellent. Pumpkin cookie good. Service was fine. Small place limited space. Outside more tables. Two scoops of icecream and the cookie and tip $10. Worth it.“
“This place is sooo cute!! You can pick your own pastries and they will wrap them to go for you. Counter girl was so friendly individually wrapping our items and the donuts and pastries tastes great. They even had a creme brûlée donut which was so unique and tasty :)“
“The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating during the order process.. I changed my order 3 times and they were only too willing to comply.The items I purchased were all delicious.Shrip cocktail was presented beautifully, Fruit salad was very fresh and the cake was amazing.“
“Overall good bakery..... but the coffee not so great. Sometimes the pastries can be a hit and miss. Staff is pretty mute.... I still remember one staff ( Asian guy ) held onto my coffee and pastries bag because I was a bit slow giving the outstanding balance of 1 penny.....true story. The older gentleman who I think is the owner is always welcoming and pleasant.“
“This place is a hidden gem. I'm not from the area, but I'm sure this place gets hits at night. Don't sleep on breakfast! Their croissant taiyaki is to die for! Plain, with custard, or ham and egg.. it's all soo good and so crispy. I'm salivating thinking about it. Plus, the people who work there are kind and they keep the place clean.“
“I fumbled the ball and didn’t order a cake. It had to be a certain combination per request. The night before I called 7 bakeries within 40 min of my job. No one had this cake or they never answered their phones. Any bright and early the next morning I called here and they had this cake! The place is immaculate, the owner was so kind, prices fair and most importantly the cake was AMAZING!!! Even though it’s out of my way I will ? be back“
“Amazing fresh baked goods! You can pick bagels off the converter belt coming out hot. Endless amounts of muffins, breads, rolls, bagels! The front has pastries that are just as delicious. There's a deli in the back as well! Love coming here and bringing out of town visitors as well.“
“As the rave reviews here confirm, I think this is one of the best eateries in the Rivertowns. Exceptional coffee (I have very high standards!), and this morning I had their scrumptious breakfast burrito, which is cooked from scratch to perfection. The staff is always kind and professional.“
