“So excited to have found this charming bakery so close to home. I pre ordered the lemon cake for New Year's and it is definitely one of the best I've had. So light and flavorful. Also tried the vanilla cupcakes as well as the coconut ones and the Amish cookies. Everyone was thrilled and we definitely found our new local bakery. The owner is lovely and the complimentary coffee and tea offering while you're there is a nice touch. Wishing this new bakery the very best of luck!“
“This is my review in response to the dope that gave this place a 1 star review. An error happened with the too good to go app which has many problems. You definitely 100% received a full refund from tgtg. All of your reviews are 1 star. Im glad this actually happened to you. Just to make my review legitimate. These cookies and the people that bake them are the best around .as shown by all the other 5 star reviews on here and yelp.“
“Great place with great pastry options! Went there at the end of a Sunday for a coffee and pastry and I was pleasantly surprised. The croissant filled pistachio cream was delicious as well as the apricot and almond bar! The monte cristo sandwich was ok, would not order again. I enjoy eating at the place to enjoy a cafe atmosphere. Would go back to try more treats!“
“I requested a custom cheesecake and they did not disappoint! Placing the order was easy and cake was ready at the time that I needed, no wait at all. When I gave them the idea of my cake, couldn't get a definite yes as they had to check with the baker, but the next day, I received a prompt response that it was possible. This cake was such a hit with my family. I'm glad I ordered from them!Also, I love their variety of mini cakes and cheesecakes and the rainbow cookies are so yummy! I've been going there for a year now and started off with the pastries they have readily available. I knew I would eventually request something custom from them.Parking: The parking lot can get pretty full at times and it's not too big.“
“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“
“Once I tried crumbl while away I've been hooked. Been to this location 2x and safe to say I'm addicted! It smells amazing when you walk in! You can order on the app for pick up. Cookies are always fresh and the workers are friendly.“
“Absolutely incredible! Everything is perfect from here! I would say the Linzers are top tier! The Linzers are just perfect surpringly light with great jelly. You would expect a lot of these desserts to be very heavy but they actually are not crazy. Everything is just flavored perfectly you would thing a brownie crammed with a rainbow cookie would be very rich surprisingly it was just right. They really hit it out of the park with everything. My only wish is that you could get smaller portions of the regular cookies I didn't feel like shelling oit $20 for a pound while I was already trying all this other stuff. Maybe a half pound option or make like an uncut brick of tricolor cookies.“
“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. :)“

“I heard that plum cakes are usually boring to eat. But after eating this yummy and fresh cake i could even say that no other cake can take its place. Really tasty? If you want to feel joyous and happy, you must try this Lovely plum cake. Wonderful Christmas special cake? NYCAKESNBITES?#musttryRanjith keep going?“
“We ordered a custom biscoff cake for my daughters birthday. The communication was great; super understanding when we had to reschedule our order to a different day last minute so A+ for service. The cake itself was absolutely beautiful and it was so moist and flavorful. Every parent at the birthday party asked where we got the cake. This is our new go to spot!“
“Tried their red velvet cake with NO EGGS! Simply put, it was amazing! Very enjoyable, and I will be visiting again. This is an example of what happens when vendors are nice to people because they are customers and not judging them based upon prejudices. After trying their red velvet cake, I might be trying a few other items.“
“First time here wanted to know what the hype was about, got a 4 pack.2 chocolate chip... good though chips didn't taste like semi sweet, they were sweet.1 donut.... good...tasted just like a melted donut1 brownie, good.They are good cookies, limited on base choice as the others selections are toppings on the base.Crunchy on the edges, top, bottom and moist in the center. Very addictive.They hold up well in the freezer and can be eaten straight from the freezer as it doesn't turn into a brick.It's a 5 dollar cookie which is too expensive to enjoy frequently.Parking: Its located in a strip mall“
“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“
“Food was amazing and the service was even better. The kind woman who served me gave me some samples of the other meats which were so delicious. The baked chicken and pork chop were falling off the bone so tender and flavorful. Tried their homemade passion fruit juice and it tastes amazing! Can’t wait to come back and try other things on the menu!“
“The food was amazing, I got the Texas Hold ‘em but with grilled chicken and they did an amazing job. They cook the chicken/bacon right in front of your eyes, plus the food tastes incredibly fresh. I recommend getting one of their panini’s, they know what they are doing and most likely what they have on the menu is a really good idea.The place has a huge drink selection on the wall, a few shelves full of chips, and the menu is incredibly easy to read and it actually includes the ingredients which you don’t see anymore nowadays.The staff was super nice and took your order quickly, somehow the (I believe manager) remembered my order (Texas hold ‘em with grilled chicken) in just three visits.Sadly soon I’ll have to leave New York and won’t be able to eat here anytime soon, but I will remember this place.“
“Came in to snag a chocolate chip and one of the employees blessed me with free iced cream with my warm cookie and mannnnnn that was the best cookie combo I ever had, I ended up buying my girlfriend one. I’ll for sure be back to try all the flavors.“
“Grew up in the Meadow when there were only a few bagel stores to pick from, yet visit from the south I always visit SantaFe and bring home a piece of LI ! Staff is always pleasant and bagels fresh. Still haven't figured out how many extra I get w a dozen but no complaints.“
“One of the reviews used "cute and cozy" already. Spot on. If you haven't seen it decorated for Christmas please go today. The baked goods look and taste amazing. The coffee was so fresh and flavorful. It is a hidden gem of main street. Sneak around the corner for a coffee and treat on your next walk. Bring the kids to see the decorations. Absolutely love this shop.“
“I have never been here before, but would always drive past it. The new ownership is very friendly and the cafe is so cozy and vibey. This is a great place to catch up with a friend and have a sweet time. Also, the bathroom is clean (big plus for me). I will absolutely be coming back.“
“Not a formal restaurant , but a great 'take out' place with authentic English pasties and pies .The owner/chef is english , and makes the food as properly crafted "across the pond" . True to form , they also sell 'biscuits and cakes' made there , also .The pizzas are an added treat , and are priced at less than $2.00/slice currently , and after 9:00 p.m. a slice is just $1.50 ! . Whole pies ? .... go there to find out the price or check the website . Limited parking out front , and across from a 'petrol' station . Antonio's ..... who'd have thought ??“
“Anita is exceptional. Her cakes and desserts were delicious and a highlight of my sister’s baby shower. She’s professional, thorough and attentive. Anita’s email and number have a permanent home in my contacts. Do yourself a favor and book with her.“
“The cookies here are to die for! Surprisingly they also sell donut holes. And for the price, variety, and taste they are an absolute must! I got one of each flavor, and each one was better then the next. Like..Tim hortons and dunkin who? Hahaha. For only $15 we got a mini carrot cake, a dozen donut holes, and a large sprinkle cookie. What a deal! The shop is so quaint and they have so much to choose from. You can even get dog treats, edible cake decorations prepacked loaf cakes and cookies.Even though they take credit cards, they have an ATM inside for convenience. So if you're trying to hop on the RVC train and need cash, you can quickly open in.Parking is metered street parking. There is more parking on the one way street around the corner, if you can't find one in the front.“
“Had an amazing time there as the owner is so personable and aims to have a “small cafe in Connecticut kind of feel” which I definitely got. She really works to personalize your orders and is willing to try new recipes. I got the chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake, apple cinnamon muffins, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate chip cookies , double chocolate cookies, and bloodies which all tasted incredible! I highly recommend anyone with a special diet whether it be gluten (which she has a separate area of the kitchen for), vegan, kosher, etc. this is your place!“
“absolutely love this bakery! in the last two weeks alone i have purchased 2 speciality cakes from them- both perfect and delicious!! i showed vic a photo of what i wanted for both events and she truly brought my vision to life. i couldn’t have been happier and they were so delicious!!“
“Best pastries, friendly owners & staff, have been getting my cookies, pastry, from them for years. Oh,! And they sell their delicious ricotta cheese cake by the slice.Parking: ConvenientWheelchair accessibility: Accessible from the street no stairs“
“The BEST cookies! My wife and I live almost 10 miles away but still go regularly because the cookies are that good! Also, our server, Christina, was awesome! I’d like to leave you all with a quote: “COOKIE! COOKIE” - Cookie Monster, Sesame Street“
“The baker Nia was so nice and she did an amazing job. She had a great attitude and wanted details and was eager to help. The people at the service counter were pretty good one lady was much more engaged than the other but overall my cupcakes were delicious and I will be back.“
“Kind of a hidden gem. Food is good. Prices are reasonable but if you're looking for something trendy this is not the place. At first glance. I don't think most people would even realize that they serve food it just looks like a small bakery. Don't let that intimidate you sit at one of the tables. Look through the menu and give the food a try.“
“Perfect Barbie cake for my 4 year old! The cake was gorgeous and delicious. Moist and perfectly layered. I’ve been using this bakery for years and am always blown away with their quality products. The baker is an artist. I’ve also ordered custom cupcakes.Dietary restrictions: Peanut free“
“Amazing bakery in a convenient location.Go there for a coffee and leave with a ton of desserts. I come here 2-3 days a week and always enjoy a few Meia-de-Leite! The best coffee I have tasted in the neighborhood with great service. Bakery has fresh bread daily, with delicious sandwiches and awesome sweets. The pastel de nata is so tasty feels like your in Portugal.Kid-friendliness: They have little tables with kid chairs on the side. I take my two year old and he enjoys people watching while having his juice and bread.“
“We had our daughters 8th birthday at Celebrations in the Kitchen and have nothing but positive things to say about Mike and his team! From start to finish all the girls were entertained and excited. They had a blast making cookies and bringing them home to their families :) highly recommend!“

“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“
“Staff is great and the desserts are always on point!! Must try the Crunchy cake! My family loves is! Our go to cake for any birthday or party we have! Cookies are delicious and the coffee was very tasty! All the employees had great attitude and the atmosphere overall was amazing! Definitely give them a try and I promise your sweet tooth craving will be satisfied!“
“I don’t get to come here often but when I do, it is always such a delight. The bakery is clean and the staff always so kind and gracious. One of the few places you will find the sort of almond croissant you desire. Parking is small so careful with how you enter/exit. If you have not yet stopped into this bakery, it is small but mighty! Definitely recommend.“
“First of all, if you have small hands, dining in, and ordering an Americano? Ask for it in a disposable cup! The cup is HUGE! It's cute, photo worthy...yet...HUGE! Please reference the photo I've posted if you don't believe me.. Anyways! If your map is taking you somewhere questionable, Le Pain Quotidien is located at the Roosevelt field mall right next to Neiman Marcus and Vince. There's plenty of parking during brunch time. If you're shopping, you can find them on the first floor near the entrance to the mall between those two stores. Le Pain Quotidien is beautiful inside and clean. There are plenty of seating and different tables to choose from. They have flowers on every table and I think that's quite lovely. You enter, seat yourself. If you're on the go, you can stand in line to order. The staff is very friendly. It can be busy. It took them quite some time to bring out our food. If you've never been there, I suggest taking a look at their menu beforehand. There were a lot of delicious choices so it took us a while to decide on what we want. We ordered the organic mini Dutch pancakes with berries to share, Chicken mozzarella melt tartine with avocado (extra charge), turkey bacon & avocado tartine with an organic egg (extra charge), and a toasted paris ham & Gruyère croissant. For drinks, we ordered apple juice, an americano, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious and full of flavor! I highly recommend the mini Dutch pancakes with berries. It was light and scrumptious! The dishes were quite big so I'm sure you can share. We didn't. We were too busy devouring it. We became very quiet when the food came out. I believe I was breathing in my food.. For those who are watching their calories, their calorie count is pretty low. I had a hard time looking for something that was over 500 calories.. That's why I added the extra side order of organic egg with my meal! I thought it was very helpful to see the calories on the menu next to the dish. It would've been nice if the macros would've been posted but I'm not complaining! I plan on coming here more often to try out the different menu items and to read. I'm not sure what the time limit is to stay there but I guess I'll find out and update this review!“
“HOLY COW! What a cake they made me for my mom’s surprise 60th Elvis Presley themed birthday party! The staff and cake decorator really know how to put a cake together. From the flavors, colors, sayings, and designs!!! YOU MUST check out sweet karma desserts if you’re ever on the island. I was amazed when I walked in there, but then when I opened my own cake!!! WWWOOOWWW. Only issue I had was the birthday girl wanted the car TAKE HOME ?? but it got eaten at the party. So I had to call back to hope and pray the cake decorator wouldn’t mind making one more pink Cadillac rice crispy car with incredible fondant work.This bakery MADE my party and I couldn’t thank them more. I mean look at this thing!!! He even added pictures from a family trip from Graceland to tie it all together. 20/10! Thank you thank you again!!!!!!“
“Too often we only comment when we have a complaint to make or if we are not happy with a service.I am going to change that pattern and let Stew Leonard's know about how happy I am with the customer service department in the Farmingdale location.In particular, Nadine has impressed me with her knowledge of the store polices, locations of items, and overall helpfulness she exhibits.Kudos to the store and Nadine.Arthur Langer“
“First time coming here as I usually go to the one in Astoria. Staff was super friendly and the cookies obviously did not disappoint. My favorite of all time is either the blueberry yogurt or the peanut butter and jelly. Wifey loves the chocolate chip. Will definitely be back knowing that it’s closer to the house now.“
“I wanted to take the time and express how much this bakery made my two year olds birthday perfect. My daughter is obsessed with shrek the movie and we were so impressed and excited when we saw her cake. We requested a shrek cake, vanilla. Not only was it absolutely delicious but the resemblance is absolutely phenomenal. 5 stars! If you need anything - this is your place. Not only is everything fresh and delicious but there is true true talent here!“
“I loved the Safari theme cake that Sydney's Sweets created for my son's second birthday. We got so many compliments on how great the cake looked and tasted. My mother, who ordered the cake, also said that it was a pleasure working with Jermaine to organize all the details. We will continue to use Sydney's Sweets for all of our special celebrations.“
“I like the products they make, they are fresh and good ? but I have a suggestion regarding the employees since as it is a public business, there are different people from different parts of the world with different customs, for example in my country, tell them love, my life, mommy ect for us it is not correct, I in particular do not like that, whoever accepts it is their problem, I hope that they as employees understand my opinion and my customs are respected, thank you“
“Best cupcakes I've ever had. The pink vanilla are classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and are my favorite. They are very soft and moist. They stay fresh for a few days after I buy them. Friendly staff and clean store. They make very cute cupcakes for all holidays. Highly recommend.“
“We were in Hicksville and wanted some snacks for afternoon. We saw this place and wanted to try it. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. We went for just one item and we ended having three. The most important thing we noticed was their quantity. We had dabeli in so many places but we couldn’t finish this one . As they filled it so much . Their noodles were very tasty, made fresh and they gave lotsss of them. We really enjoyed their food and will definitely go back“
“Staff is very friendly and efficient, rice and beans / plantains are really good! The buffalo chicken empanadas are my favorite.Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan desserts, empanadas and salad!Parking: Small parking lot, street parking just past the street light“
“This is one of the best businesses in town! The bagels, coffee cake, sandwiches are absolutely fabulous! The service is amazing. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. As a business owner of (Luna Lawn Service, Masonry & Painting), I think that we are so lucky to have this establishment in Merrick to call our own.“
“They are absolutely amazing, family owned for years their cannoli’s are superb, all of their stuff are unbelievable, I would travel to the end of the earth for all their desserts. Happy Thanksgiving to you & family always…I’m“
“We were riding down Broadway in Amityville on our way to another eatery, looked to the left and saw the sign: THE CHEESECAKE STOP. We decided to swing in on our way back. We glad we did.Ada, the only one there when we arrived, said the recipes are her mother's.We decided on the PEACH SWIRL and the HOT CHOCOLATE flavors.We can taste the chocolate and the peach. Very smooth. Velvety.I got the single serve. My friend girl got the mini.There are plenty of menu choices.And there are seats inside and outside the eatery.“

“Some of the softest and chewiest pretzel bites I’ve ever had. I stopped in on a lark after being intrigued by a sign reading “Pretzel Town USA”. As a pretzel fan, I definitely needed to drop in. The owner was so kind and gave us pretzels that were hot and fresh.Long story short, if you like pretzels, drop in. Worth every gram of carbohydrates“
“Vins is a great mom and pop bakery owned by the same family that owned the best ever bakery. A few years back, the son vin took over and vamped it up a little.They offer some delicious cakes, pasties, and baked goods. The seven layer and mouse cakes are our favorite.They also have some great coffee at a nice price.They have monthly specials that feature certain cakes, loafs, and coffee.Everyone who works here is super nice and helpful.Overall, it's a nice wholesome bakery to try if you're in the area.“
“Listen, I don’t say this lightly - these are THE BEST custom cookies on Long Island. Don’t bother going anywhere else. From the attention to customer service to the detail in every cookie, every step was A+/5 stars/10/10/Would Recommend. Not only were the cookies beautiful, they were also tasty. And to top it all off, they are reasonably priced. Too reasonably. I sent the baker a Pinterest photo and she exceeded my expectations!“
