In particular, the Black Sesame Brownie is a must-order. Biting into the brownie, you taste a thick yet creamy sesame chocolate flavor that is quite amazing. It manages to be creamier than a cheesecake brownie while being more decadent than a chocolate fudge brownie at the same time. The other desserts were also quite good in their own right: - Campfire S'more Cookie: a perfect chocolate chip cookie with a bonus of a marshmallow! - Matcha Chocolate Cake: white chocolate perfectly balances the Matcha flavor - Earl Grey Madeleines: the inclusion of earl grey tea adds a fragrance that deepens the butteriness of the dessert while adding a lightness that reminds me of Japanese light cheesecakes - Ube Pound Cake: Unbelievably moist with a pronounced ube flavor.

I wasn't there very long. It wasn't crowded, and I was able to get in and out without a problem on a Sunday evening. The server was super helpful, especially since it was my first time there. I don't like a lot of ice in my iced tea, and he was very accommodating, which I appreciated. I didn't need to sit down, but there was seating available, and the noise level seemed pretty average. Overall, a good first visit.

So I ordered 2 Highland Tea Latte today, service from the register was normal. But when I told her…read moremy instructions, it was no cheese foam, no cocoa powder, and no ice. I normally get this drink and the drink just comes out slightly less than it should be. Today, the one making the drinks had the audacity to really hand me two cups looking like this. I didn't realize I paid $12.52 for a cup that is 3/4 full. This is normally never an issue as they always give a reasonable amount, but I don't know what's wrong with the staff making the drinks today. Personally, I feel like I'm being overcharged at this point.

I'm glad to see that they had expanded to LIC since then my favorites here will always include their espresso cakes and gateau bretons. However, I decided to try something new the last time I stopped by this included a pistachio custard tart of some sort as well as the flan parisien. The former was absolutely delicious, with the pistachio custard, being fantastic and the shell of the tart being buttery and tasty. The flan parisien, however, paled in comparison. In addition to being so soggy, there was a weird apricot I believe jam on the bottom, which was offputting all in all, stick to the classics here but don't hesitate to try something that catches your eye. You might love it, but if not, you know not to try it again.

The sandwich had ham, pickle and cheese, the French baguette was crunchy with a nice balance with the other ingredients. The hazelnut chocolate pastry tasted like a rich chocolate that was smooth with touches of hazelnut. The layers of the cup were great to get so many different flavors in one bite.

This cafe deserves a CC CAR AWARD…read more I've came here a few times to study and I will say that I have nothing but good words to say about this establishment. The price is reasonable especially for Long Island. I'm also impressed with the hours, usually bakeries close very early. There are many options to choose from and the staff are more than happy to provide advice and recommendations. The Rocher dessert I got is definitely my favorite, its not bitter and especially sweet. The Hot Chocolate I got wasn't anything too special, but still good nonetheless. There is a Fruit Tart and Berry Tart, I believe one of them had custard cream and another had cream. Don't quote me on this but I think the Berry Tart had the custard filling. I also got this Dark Chocolate/Coffee cake, it wasn't my favorite as I'm not a fan of dark chocolate or coffee but it looked beautiful. The Red Velvet Cake was also delicious and crumbly. I asked for a recommendation from one of the staff with the prompts; chocolate and pastry. She directed me to this Chocolate Mousse that wasn't bitter and very much to my tastes. The muffins come in different flavors, ranging from apple cinnamon, blueberry, chocolate chips, and others I forget the name of. I personally got the Chocolate Chip Muffin and it was spectacular and filling. The Nutella and Pistachio Croissants are some of the bakery's most popular pastries, so I suggest getting them earlier in the day. The Croissants were flaky and the filling wasn't too sweet either. The Pistachio Maritozzo surprised me, as I haven't tried one before. I originally thought that there wasn't any pistachio filling and just the actual nut due to the cream blocking the filling but was pleasantly surprised by the rush of pistachio after you eat away at the cream. The Hazelnut Ice Cream was delicious, but it made my mouth a bit dry. I have no complaints with the Chocolate Ice Cream but I wished I got some toppings. Another little quirk I like about this bakery is the music. The first day I came I heard Pop and Indie like Sabrina Carpenter, The Marias, Shakira, etc. The next day I came I heard more underground artists and older music. Its always like a little surprise for me. I'm also very impressed with the lighting, its mostly the sun doing the work but it makes for very flattering pictures. I usually sit near the bathrooms with the pastry display showcasing the muffins, croissants, danishes, and other desserts. Speaking of bathrooms, their restroom is very clean and I like the color they chose! I believe it was a magenta. For my college students out there, the wifi password is 14ColdSpring!!! and the username is StellinabakerySY. The wifi is very fast and powerful; I've gotten service even when I was outside, across from the cafe. CC CAR BETTER THAN BEST

The Cheesecake was a little underwhelming in that I couldn't really taste the cheese flavor. The Strawberry Shortcake however, was really tasty.

Previously had met friends there for a pot of delicious Moroccan mint tea, mini opera cakes, and more. The not-so-nice staff member (Thursday 6pm, 7/30/2026) had trouble figuring out what I was pointing to in the case ("Cassis!"). I tried to look inside the box to check the quality after I think she got the right one. She immediately put a sticker closing it. I asked her what's the name of this cake (thinking I was ordering it wrong) was and she said "?Strawberry??" & smirked. After I paid and stepped outside, I looked in the box and the cake is nicely uneven. Went in & aked for a different piece and she wouldn't let me. I said that it was "for a birthday!" She said no and then looked slightly outside. I think the young male owner was sitting outside - probably should've asked him first. Got a Pan Suisse & that was good. The top row of Middle Eastern lavash bread & honey, French baguette sandwiches looked great. I'd like to try more, but I'm not sure if I would go back. The worker (Thursday 6pm) seemed to cater to locals - guests & their visiting parent, same dialects. Sad.

While in the area for bubble tea, I broke down and caved in to my sugar craving even before I got to the bubble tea store @_@ (see my separate upcoming review for YAAS Tea)...the little plump round ice cream-filled mochi characters on their logo were too cute to resist! Walking into the store, I was astonished by the size, there is an open foyer area with shelves of unpainted ceramic figurines in the shape of popular labubu, Sanrio and other cute characters. Apparently they hold paint nights here and you get a free scoop of gelato with a figurine purchase. They range from $15-25 per figurine and combo packages are available. Seems like a pretty good deal. There's plentiful seating for about 2 dozen people available at tables seating 2-4. On the right side of the store there's a counter with ice cream display and ordering counter. In the furthest back are a few claw machines. Getting to the ice cream :) ordering my matcha ice cream $6.00 in a mochi wrapper +$1.50 was easy with the staff at the counter, they answered a couple of my questions and let me film them wrapping the mochi. The matcha flavor was a good strength, you could taste the grassy, lightly bitter flavor of the tea. The wrapper was thin enough and chewy, it did remind me of the skin on the frozen ice cream mochis bought from the store, a little thicker, definitely more fresh. If a couple things, 1) I would say it was kinda hard eating this with a plastic spoon, the mochi was getting stiffer due to the cold. I had to really dig in with force. 2) where the mochi skin overlapped there was quite a bit of it to get through, a little dense at the end. Otherwise I enjoyed this treat!

We chose: - Black Sesame - Matcha - Biscoff - Cookies and Cream - Ube All the flavors above were excellent, except for Ube. This was disappointing since I really love Ube but it has no Ube taste at all. It tasted more like cotton candy with fake sugar. It was the one ice cream we couldn't finish and that's rare for us. Avoid this flavor and go with the Vietnamese Coffee. Other option was vanilla. We split a mochi ball with biscoff filling. The mochi was just all right. It hardened the longer it stayed on the ice cream. I probably wouldn't get this again but it was worth a try. The inside of the place is pretty spacious with a few claw machines in the back. They also randomly have Paint Night on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when you get to paint a figurine (labubu, hello kitty characters, and more)! Seemed interesting and at the right price point, I may consider it!
