    When you have a special spot near home it's hard to share. This cozy cafe has so much decadent deserts I want to visit every day. The employees are patient with my taking photos and asking questions all the time. There is a small comfortable counter. Very small!! A table in the back. Narrow space getting in and out. It's best to go early or take out. They are open seven days a week from 6am to 9:30 pm. Hard working business. You can order cakes or select one on the spot. They have cupcakes, cookies, cannoli, cheesecake. I thought I died and went to heaven... Check out my photos and their web site. If you're up early you may run in to me some morning. I admit I haven't made a special cake order. I would forget the negative reviews and try for yourself. It's all good to me! M

    I come to this bakery every morning to get my usual coffee and toasted buttered bread or bacon egg and cheese. Everything tastes delicious. The service is alright. They're really busy in the morning so the wait is a bit long at times. The only thing that irks me is that one of the employees/server ALWAYS messes up my order. I get it, it's busy, you have a lot of orders to get to.. but it's every time. I call in advance so when I arrive I'll just have to pick up my order and be on the go. I hate having to wait for my order to be done all over again. Or the fact that it was never being started on to begin with.

    Exceptional service and great prices at this East Harlem gem! Got a custom cake for my brother's birthday in 48 hours (I did give them more notice). Long story short the cake was a huge hit! Exactly how I wanted. The best part it was moist and delicious (we chose vanilla buttercream!)

    Tres Leche sweet 16 cake My daughter and all  LOVED our cake.  Just need to remind them /the Leche to pour on the servings.

    Best cake tres leche All flavors I have ordered Custard Vanilla butter cream And the chocolate cake

    Everything look deliciously fresh, however the coffee and pineapple cake were slightly stale. I did go there late, but it is still no excuse for anything being stale. I bought a few items but only remembered to take picture of the. The 3 leches cake tasted pretty good, but it's kind of hard to mess up when it's soaking in sweat sweet milk. It's is quite conveniently close to Mt Sinai Hospital, so its worth stopping in if visiting someone.

    3.5 I guess.... The cakes are a hit or miss...the first cake I bought, it was excellent. The 2nd cake I bought..it was kind of dry, like if it was over baked... Also their cake selection varies...I was hoping to pick up an 8" Oreo cake but there were none available. I guess I should have ordered it. Also, if you order it, it's a little more expensive...(just 3$ more for the 8") The workers do take their time working...

    Cute little spot to grab an espresso and a fresh cannoli or slice of cheesecake. Great addition to the neighborhood! Also, breakfast until 3pm with fruit smoothies and pancakes... So delicious!

    OMG!!!! They met all of my expectations and they blew my mind with this beautiful, gorgeous cake!!!! Thank YOU a million times!!! First time ordering a cake from this bakery and I first read all of the yelp reviews & I am NOT disappointed with my cake. The staff was very friendly and patient with me when I went in to order the cake. The cake was very DELICIOUS and not overly sweet. All of my guests complimented my cake and loved it! Will continue to order my cakes here for future special occasions.

    This bakery ruined my daughter's Sweet Sixteen by messing up her cake. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!

    After my last post I decided to stop by the bakery in the hopes of finding the manager. He wasn't there, as usual, but I was greeted by Alicia who after hearing what happened to me and noticing how upset I was, gave me a credit for half the price of the cake. It didn't make up for the frustration and aggravation, but all I wanted was for them to make it right and, because their cakes are so fresh and flavorful, I accepted the credit. Problem solved.

    I ordered a spiderman birthday cake for my son in March of this year the baker was very patient explained what size the design would look better on and helped to get my moneys worth with another design then the one I originally picked It was a two filling cake too the design was neat it the cake didn't taste like it was to much icing, it wasn't gritty, there was an equal amount of filling and mo ist going to get another one but with all new things there's room improvement customer service skills can be worked on bit overall I was pleased

    Finally decided to try this place after walking by it for years. I refused to try this in the past,…read morebecause I didn't like how many items they put on display. It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

    Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.

The quality of the shot was excellent, smooth, bright, and really clean. The bar setup itself is super unique and very minimalist. They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.
