We went there today for the first time. It's a small place with a few tables and comfortable chairs to sit and relax with a cup of Rising Star coffee. A single counter at the back of the room clearly displays the days offerings. I couldn't help but try their stuffed grape leaves, zucchini balls, and rice pudding. All of it looked marvelous. Can't wait to get home to try it all. The owner, a very pleasant and helpful woman, explained everything to us without hesitation as we asked question after question. If you long for Greek bakery, or just any bakery, give them a look-see. FYI... update: I just had everything I purchased for dinner. It was FANTASTIC!!! I'm definitely going back.

Whenever I want to be transported to a makeshift European bakery, then I come to Breadsmith. Mind…read moreyou, I've never been to Europe but that's beside the point, haha. The breads at Breadsmith are fresh and made daily. I don't come here often but I should. I love walking inside to the delightful smell of fresh breads. I first tried one of their breads, the Rustic Italian bread in January 2019 when I bought it from Nature's Oasis in Lakewood, a little cafe and convenience store (see video and picture below). I finally visited Breadsmith in October 2021 and I've been back a few times in 2024. I've bought their white Country Buttertop Bread ($6.75) which can be bought sliced or un-sliced. I've also had their Honey Wheat (I believe that's the name). Both tasted so fresh and good. After 3 days, their breads will start to taste stale because they are made without preservatives. Next time, I'll ask if I can get a smaller loaf of bread instead of such a large loaf because I can't finish a whole loaf by the 3rd day. They also sell muffins, cinnamon rolls, honey, etc. I haven't bought any of those but I've had their pepperoni roll before which was just fine and slightly expensive. I wish they sold croissants. Come here for the bread and stay for the friendly customer service. I'll definitely be back. The cost of all their breads are reasonable. TIP -- They offer a customer loyalty punch card. After you've bought 12 loaves, you get the 13th for free. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 41/150 total reviews in 2024 - 691 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 2 June 2024

My Mom loved their freshed baked Vienna white bread, as she would buy a loaf once or twice a week. She would also buy a dozen donuts, especially when compa y came over. I used to ride my bicycle up close to their store front window and they had a real pretty lady working their named Pauline. If i saw her there i used to wink at her, as i road by the window. (I was only 9 or 1o at the time). Every now and then she would wave me in and give me a free donut. So i have very fond memories of growing up with Becker's Donut shop right around the corner on Miles Ave, near East 138st. My favorite donuts were the cream filled ones. Yummy!

The blueberry cake donut was flavorful, and you can tell it was made with real, fresh blueberries. It was moist which can be rare to find in a cake donut. I also really liked the cinnamon apple donut, it was glazed with just the right amount and the cinnamon flavor was good and not overwhelming at all. I wish there was a little bit more apples but that is okay. I did not get to try them all but everyone around me said their donuts were good and tasted fresh. I definitely want to go by and stop in person! Give this place a try if you are in the area.

My son and I picked up a variety of pastries to take with us. We really would have loved one of the refrigerated tortes, but we would not be going home immediately and I was concerned about that being with us on a hot July day. We'll just have to come back and try it next time. This is a very clean and organized little shop that has been around for awhile. I love these classic locally owned gems that you just don't see as much as you should. I love their unique pineapple/walnut Linzer torte. Quite tasty. Of course we tried the apple and the more traditional raspberry hazelnut too. My favorite thing we tried was hands-down the lemon bar. That buttery texture complements the tartness of the lemon perfectly. Well done, Farkas family. Can't wait til our next visit!

Everything looked thoughtfully prepared and inviting. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing, with plenty of seating -- perfect if you want to sit and unwind for a bit. The barista was so pleasant and made delicious drinks. My sister kept it classic with coffee and cream, and I treated myself to a cinnamon vanilla maple syrup latte... and let me tell you -- it was just yummy. What really stood out to me was the service. We accidentally came in through the back and asked if we could bring our pup inside. Although they kindly said no (which we completely understood), they let us know that out front they offer a bowl of fresh water and puppy treats. That extra thoughtfulness meant so much. I also loved that they provide games to play while you're there and have a display filled with beautiful gift items if you're looking for something special. Definitely worth checking out. It's the kind of place you'll want to linger in.
