    I always love this lil, tasty bake oven cakes. Now that they have these lil bits" ( to small to be call bites) prepackaged due to COVID, it's a much easier process to pick what you want. They only give you a couple of options to choose from. I think that they do give you a good selection of those options, but I still would have preferred to pick my own individuals. Anyway from the package I went with, the lil bits were still moist and fresh tasting. Still delicious. For such small lil bits, my household felt that they had enough to share from and that it was very satisfying. By the way out of all the bakery in N.Y.C. that makes cupcakes, this place makes my husband's favorite, although he wish they were much bigger.

    Baked by Melissa treats are great for on the go. This is a great location at 2325 Broadway Upper West Side near places I visit. When I don't want to ruin my lunch I stop in here for one or two. I'm posting some of my favorite treats. I don't splurge with these very often. The owner/creator developed a one of a kind sweet. I hope she is successful keeping her numerous locations open. They do fit in with the take out trend. You can order on line and have them shipped too! That's my favorite way to purchase Baked by Melissa as gifts for my out of state friends! If you visit this location the employees are nice and knowledgeable. I've never had a problem with customer service if I get here early.

    Oh My Gluten Free Cupcakes (pack of 25)

    I've seen these cupcakes around for what feels like forever and finally picked up a 25-pack ($46) for a recent special occasion:) The gluten-free version contains 6 flavors: birthday cake, caramel, cinnamon, tie-dye, red velvet, and triple chocolate. My favorites were probably the caramel and triple chocolate, which both had really tasty stuffing inside and the chocolate quinoa brittle had the perfect crunch. They're definitely bite-sized treats that are on the pricier end but my family definitely enjoyed how whimsical and cute these cupcakes were! The location on the UWS is pretty small but very clean and service was so friendly. I was able to order online and choose same-day pick-up, which was convenient. My only wish is that hopefully they can introduce a few more unique flavors in the gf pack once in a while :')

    I tried their mini cupcakes and honestly felt like it was wayyy too overpriced and definitely not worth the hype. The cupcakes are so tiny you can barely even taste the flavors in that one tiny bite. The cupcakes got really dry after being in the fridge for one night. The guy working there was super nice however and very helpful as well. It was my first time trying Baked by Melissa since I had been recommended to try it by many of my friends. I wasn't a fan of it.

    Stepped in for a quick Friday treat and the sales associate was very friendly and knowledge of all the cupcakes. They had so many flavors and I was unsure of what I wanted but she was patient and gave great descriptions of each one I inquired about. I ended up getting a cookies and cream, a rainbow, a red velvet, a purple kind that had a cookies and creme filling, a double chocolate fudge kind, and another flavor that I can't remember. They were all really good, very small and good for 1-2 bites, but you know this when you come to Melissa's. I saw they have ice cream by the pint and I wish they would start selling it by the scoop

    Mini cupcakes won't make you heavy :D

    While when I was in NYC 3 years ago, I tried the Carrie cupcake in Bleecker street, the famous Mongolia. This time I am impressed by the innovation done by Melissa. They halved the size of normal cupcakes. And the rate categories are rather reasonable: 3 in box for one person, or a 6 bigger box for two share. We always thought cupcakes are sugary mountain, somehow Melissa is changing that. At least I am not guilty for finishing 3 of them by myself!

    I was tired after a long day out and about, my feet hurt from walking, I was dehydrated and feeling a bit sluggish, needed a pick me up and BAM...saw "Baked by Melissa." My spirits rose quickly. When you walk in, you're greeted by the most upbeat chick. What I love about the space and concept is that it's clean. All white, with just the mini cupcakes on display. Makes sense, you want the center piece to be the product. The owner used to work in advertising so I'm glad some of her aesthetics transferred over. That's why places like this and froyo places do really well. Because everyone loves to eat in white spaces. There's a refreshing quality to a space that feels open, new and bright. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a huge cupcake girl, but I do love mini-things. Mini cokes, mini pencils, mini anything. The size of each cupcake, no joke, about the size of a quarter. So, you can just pop one in on the go. I bought 3 cupcakes for $3. Okay, the price is exorbitant, but for the novelty and the flavor options, it's worth it. You have to try it! I got 1) S'mores, 1) tie-dye vanilla and 1) orange creme. I killed all three cupcakes by the time I walked out of the store and got to the next block. Cheers!

    Forgot to take a pic before I ate one -_-

The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
