I stopped here on a Sunday morning to indulge myself to some baked goodies!…read more This was the closest place to try so I came in and ordered their croissant, cranberry scone, and blueberry muffin. The croissant was very delicious. I enjoyed that with my coffee! The cranberry scone seemed a little old and sure tasted that way too. The blueberry muffin was excellent. The service was good and got my order quickly. The bakery has been around for a long time but it's refreshing to know they still serve good pastries.

Please read to the end. One of the counter girls there made fun of my disabled friend. Even…read morethough, they made a mistake with my order and wouldn't give me my money back. My friend lives near by this bakery and I asked her to call and get prices for me. She was quoted $15 for 12 mini chocolate cannoli and $6 for 2 cheese loaves of bread. I agreed and she went to pay for it. Two days later, she gets a call saying the price is wrong and the cannoli will be $15 more. I called and told them I had already paid because the price made sense to me but I was not going to add $15. I could bake and was trying to save time but for $30, I could make my own. The counter girl told me I would not get a refund because they don't do that. I made it very clear that "they" made the mistake and I had a "paid" receipt which they should honor. She said she was going to speak to the manager. Since I didn't get a call back, my fried stopped by to get my money back. The counter girl was extremely rude to my friend and said the manager wasn't around or answering the phone. My friend waited and as she was waiting, the counter girl became annoyed and made fun of my friend calling her "crossed eye". How dare she made fun of someone's disability??? My friend was very upset and told her " I rather by crossed eye than a bitch!" Also, that she was going to write a bad review. The counter girl once again made a remark asking my friend if she even knew how to write. Unbelievable! What kind of person is this? No one should be made fun off or put down because they have a disability. All we wanted was our money back since they made a mistake and would not honor what I originally was quoted and already paid for. I called to speak to the owner but he's apparently never there. I thought maybe he wasn't aware of his employees treatment of customers. But my friend went back to speak to him and the same girl told her the owner didn't want her coming back to the bakery. Mind you, she has spent years going there. At the end, I got my money back but the way my friend was treated was extremely disrespectful. She did argue back with the counter girl but anyone would defend themselves when you are being called names and made fun off.

I purchased mini-eclairs for client luncheon and they were STALE. This was NOT the first time…read moreeither. I've been going to this bakery for over 48 years. This is the VERY first time I called to complain. When I called this morning, the Owners would not reimburse nor offer something in exchange, unless I "brought them back as proof" claiming she "just ate one from this morning's tray and they are fresh; and the same ones I purchased yesterday morning." She then stated, "these are the same ones being served for Easter Sunday." Okay, so if you claim to serve "fresh pastries" and Easter Sunday is a week away, HOW on earth can they be "fresh pastries?" WHAT A JOKE. After 48 years, this bakery has now lost a very loyal and long withstanding customer.

Bakery Boys of New York absolutely nails it with their sesame cookies!…read more They're perfectly balanced -- crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with that deep toasted sesame flavor you just can't fake or get anywhere else! They're so good that my father now asks me to ship them down to him in Florida because there's nothing even remotely close where he lives. Per my father "These are the kind of cookies you don't forget, and once you've had them, everything else feels like a downgrade."

The table sitting next to us was not very loud, which was nice. the table next to us sat three people and there is a countertop that sits about another 3 to 4 people. most people came in to just take out. I got myself a chai latte and my friends got cheesecake and a Madeline, which they all enjoyed. all of their pastries and baked goods looked very delicious, hoping to try more next time just a bit tight on cash at the moment. The menu of drinks does not fully encompass everything that they make, for example I ordered a chai latte and that was not a menu item so there is flexibility on what they can make.

Omg this was so damn good but it was very intense and on the sweet side but man this was so good. Eat this with some tea or coffee to tone it down. This is a must get. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=hYxUn_61aZq8ZQqzDIuMSQ Chocolate Babka- Turns out there are a few different types of chocolate babka here, there was the classic that comes in half a loaf, there is one that comes in a half loaf with some powdered sugar on top, and there was another one that was like a chocolate chocolate babka that came in a circular loaf that looked like cinnamon buns and had more of an intense chocolate flavor. I went with the classic and I was very happy with with the version here. I would easily come back just for this. I thought it was great, not too rich or oily and not too sweet. I thought this was an easy eating babka. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=-IrBczFaxKcUckdikQ-KfA Raspberry Hamantaschen- Turns out previously I only had subpar ones because the one I had here were amazing. The cookie dough part was made so well, it had such a nice texture. It wasn't too dry, not too crumbly, it was made just right. The raspberry part was ok, it tasted like raspberries but the flavor was a but light. Carrot Cake- This was good but kinda plain. The cake part was nice and moist but I felt it needed more flavor. Like it needed more of a carrot flavor or something. I was thinking if they made like a banana walnut bread with the same texture of the cake, it would have been amazing. Mini Black and White Cookies- Thought these were OK. To preface, I don't normally love black and white cookies because they don't even feel like they are cookies but the taste and texture was ok.
