Such a neighborhood gem! Always loved their amazing cookies and then I tried the flourless chocolate cake and the almond tart! Holy moly, that chocolate is so decadent and not overly sweet. I like to break apart the almond tart and eat it like a giant cookie. Buttery crust and the filling is soft and yummy. The owner is always nice and very sweet to chat with. I hate going to forest hills because of the parking but the treats are worth it! read more

Love their pasties! Been coming for years but I only recently found out why I love them. They use REAL nuts like almonds and walnuts. I got their almond croissants for hubby & I. Plain croissant for my kids due to nut allergies. I also got a carrot cake for myself (so yum! ) and rainbow cookies for family. Definitely will be back again! read more

Best bakery in Queens some recommendations are chocolate mousse cake , pecan triangle , brownies , key lime pie , peach pie .

Best rugelach I've ever had. And I've had many, from coast to coast, over my 53 years. Perfect texture and combination of moist and flaky.

Best scones. Very and tasty. The staff is very friendly. The prices are very reasonable.

CASH ONLY!!!!! We stumbled on this shop during the summer walking around, and I swear it is hard to compare to other places I been to because I love pastries.I learned that is family owned and the two sisters run the store baking all the goods in the shop hand made. I have tied almost everything that they have baked and it is hard to say everything AMAZING!!!! The ruglahs SMH heaven made, they are pop in your mouth size, filled with cinnamon and raisins and ugh the bet thing ever made. The service is so sweet and just feels at home like your mother or auntie made it at home. read more

Stumbled upon this neighborhood gem. Cookies were displayed behind the counter. If you see something you like and it's not shown, ask them if they have it! They stored their rainbow cookies in the fridge cause of warm weather. Cookie overall was delicious. The taste wasn't too sweet and they didn't use a ton of food coloring. Overall, great bakery! read more

Excellent bakery. The lemon bars are probably the best I've ever had. The lady working there was very friendly and patient. Will definitely be back! read more

Enjoying the BEST slice of cheesecake right now that I bought this afternoon. I always forget this gem is right here in our neighborhood as I rarely have cash, but it is SO good, it is worth making a point to have cash ready to come here on the regular. I might just have to do that!! So so good, and SO reasonably priced. Too bad there aren't more places like this around - but it makes me want to support this little shop all the more. Kindest staff too! read more

Ordered a chocolate cake with buttercream here and it was a disaster. So crumbly and dry. Falling apart after cutting it and not at all chocolatey. Had no taste and was stale. For a 6 inch she charged me $38. Not worth it. Tasted old. So so disappointed. When I called and told the owner and told her, she told me to let it defrost for a bit. She said something like she would check with the baker and call me. She never called me back. read more

I got a slice of apple pie and a couple cookies. The pie was very good, excellent crust. The lady behind the counter said everything was homemade and it's a butter crust, so heat it up before eating (which I did.) Cookies were also good. Ambiance is of a small bakery. I can't remember if they had seating, might only be a couple seats if they do. I'll be back to try more. read more

This neighborhood bakery has been around for as long as I can remember. I use to work across the street during JHS when there was a Baskin Robbins on the opposite corner. Situated next to Nick's Pizzeria, it was always a nice spot to take home some yummy desserts after a fantastic meal of exquisite pizza. For new year's eve, I bought four desserts for my family of six to share after dinner. The group favorite was Key Lime Pie, with Cheesecake coming in second. Chocolate Cake was good for a bite or two, but definitely too sweet for most people to finish a whole slice. The only cake that struck out with the crowd was the Tiramisu. Overall, a solid selection of sweets. If you don't know the history of this place, google up some articles online about the amazing owner. She is a very unique person who has developed a relationship with the community and continue to run this wonderful little bakery in a neighborhood that appreciates its small businesses. read more

Rahita is extremely kind and has such positive energy! I highly recommend coming to try their pastries! Sending love from California.

Old school is what comes to mind upon entering this long time tiny bakery at the far end of the shopping Austin Street in Forest Hills. No flashy cakes adorned with pink cream roses or anything of that nature. I came in mid afternoon. It did not appear there was a wide selection. The woman behind the counter asked if I needed anything as I kept looking at the offerings. I asked what that was as I pointed in the glass counter. She suggested I try the almond tart, as it was "not too sweet". I took her up on that and now can't wait to go back to get some more. read more

The decor of Bonelle Pastry Shop is humble and narrow-spaced. They serve a great variety of pastries, desserts and cookies freshly with reasonable price. We got their almond croissant and marble pound cake. It's was decent but without the delicate flavor. The texture of croissant was soft with no layers, not my type but my husband loves it. The marble pound cake was in great balance of chocolate & vanilla and not too sweet. It's not the best bakery but definitely a bakery that reminds people of the neighborhood of Forest Hills. However, they take cash only and we were concerned about this during the pandemic. read more

One would walk right past this gem of a bakery without realizing how good all the desserts are!! My favorite is the strawberry shortcake and flourless chocolate cake. My kids go almost daily, I admit. The lemon meringue is also delicious. I'm not a dessert or baked goods person generally and I love their stuff!! Not overly sweet and the homemade whipped cream is amazing. read more

I was walking around Forest Hills Gardens/Forest Hills with a few others and I happened to pass by this place and it looked on the outside like a good old fashioned pastry shop so I stopped in for pastries for later. After looking at some of their cookies, I went with their plum tart after asking what it was and the woman working there saying that it had an almond filling (yep I'll get this) and another person got a slice of blueberry pie as it also looked fantastic and they are in season. The prices were very reasonable, being $4.75 for the rather large tart and $5 even for the slice. Both were fantastic so it's hard to pick my favorite between the two. The almond filling which reminded me of marzipan went well with the tart plums and the sweet streusel topping. The blueberry pie was probably the most filled one I've ever had with a very light delicate buttery crust. I prefer a slightly more done crust but that's just personal preferences. Both were in short excellent and very reasonable at their prices. Very good local bakery and I can see why they have a following. read more

Amazing shortbread cookies! I love their carrot cake slice with thick cream cheese frosting and nuts and raisins in the cake too. Come visit this bakery instead of Martha's next time! Cash only! Going to have to try the key lime pie next time seeing all these reviews now. read more

This is one of my favorite pastry bakeries. Even though it doesn't push out the volume it once did, it is still yummilicious!!! Got my standard apple turnover which is a fave of the house. The almond croissant is back with the previous recipe (or baker since the last one I got before this was different and I was disappointed) so I'm happy. Decided to pick up the chocolate muffin which the kids like. Tried the cheese danish and the consensus was it's another hit. Always recommend going here for a supply of bakery snacks, especially for weekends and holidays. It always puts a smile on our faces. read more

This is just for the eclair - I wish I could have loved it given the charming shop owner and how she professed that it just came out. But alas the whipped cream (rather than custard) tasted chemical-like and the pastry itself didn't have the texture of an eclair. Maybe the other pastries are much better, I might give this place another try based on her charm alone. read more

This is a great bakery right next to Nick's pizza! Cash only, reasonable prices, and the crust is amazing on the key lime pie. It's a little sugary but then it is key lime pie...we bought this for 5 people and that's what was left! Going to go back and try other things. read more

It's so nice to have a bakery in the neighborhood with delectable treats and sweets. One of my favorites are the lemon bars, they are out of this world! Every time I come here I always pick up the cinnamon raisin danish and whatever type of scone they have left. I've also picked up a variety of muffins for my Mom and family that are into muffins and they were quite happy with them. Besides the regular menu, I love that depending on the season there's always something new to try. Come prepared with cash because they don't take card. Sometimes I think this is a good thing because I would probably buy everything in sight! read more

One of my favorite pastry shops in forest hills. Totally under rated. Tasted more items from there including the cheesecake, which is really good and not dense. I would say the crust is too sweet for me and tastes like pure brown sugar mixed with some spéculos. I prefer cookie based dryer crusts. The daquoise, a chocolate flourless almond base layer cake w/ frosting was decadent but too dry. Very rich and sweet as well. Although I'm happy to help out local businesses, I think it's a bit expensive for 2 slices of cake given the small slice of cheesecake ($10 for a daquoise slice and a cheesecake slice) read more

A French bakery in Forest Hills that offers the staples of French sweets. Upon entering, I hollered several times "excuse me" for the owner/associate to acknowledge my presence which the woman did apologized twice "sorry, I did not see you." I was glad the woman rectified her gross error of being heavily engrossed with her smartphone clicking away Facebook or YouTube as opposed to servicing patrons while on the job in a business workplace. The glass encasement of mostly full baked goodies I opt for the classic French éclair of $3.75. The size of the pasty was a good four inches which is expected for $3.75 each. The inside filling was too rich, too heavy whipped cream, but, disappointingly, it was not light nor sweeting custard cream. Nota bene: Cash only. read more

Everything is super fresh and tasty here. I don't get why the lines are out the door at that other Austin St bakery when this gem is just down the street serving up absolutely superior baked goods. Great rainbow cookies that taste like they use quality almond flour not just almond flavoring. Delicious rugelach too! My family and I did a side by side taste test and the better ingredients and care in baking are reflected in these baked goods. Also really friendly service. read more

My family and I have been patronizing Bonelle for years. It's Indian owned offering French pastries that are absolutely mouth-watering. The owners and staff are pleasant and knowledgeable, and the shop is small but filled with the most wonderful aromatic baking scent. If I could bottle up the baked goods smell I would. Bonelle uses the freshest ingredients and they're almond croissants and cheese danishes are light and moist and super delicious. I'm so glad they survived the pandemic hope they continue to thrive so more people can enjoy this special shop. If you live close enough please go and support them, you won't be sorry. read more

As a self proclaimed French-o-file, how did my itty bitty favorite French-ie bakery evade getting inked sooner? Sultry sugary cookies hold prominent display ground as the other pastries fill in and around. At least two to three times a week I stop in for the wonderful coffee and a croissant or a hard roll of sourdough or fennel. The croissants are the best around wether chocolate filled, almond or just plain. Theres not much in the way of seating but I find that a positive attribute as its never noisy inside and its easy to get in and out. read more

I'm an expert, believe me. i have sampled them all, Martha's is ok, but Bonelle is the absolute BEST. try it and thank me later. the sweet older ladies working there are so nice. You have to look at the MENU. the best stuff is downstairs in the fridge. KEY LIME PIE is the best on earth, better than Florida. it is real key limes, so light and fluffy..the best crust,graham cracker type. the cheese cake? OMG. so light, the carrot cake, the chocolate bomb? all the stuff in the fridge are the best, the stuff is always fresh, tastes like France. bless them, this is wayyyy better than Martha's, who tends to be just sweet, cream, heavy, sweet, big... Bonelle is elegant, refined and tastes sooooooooo good. get the key lime pie. read more

Underrated and under appreciated. This small neighborhood bakery does everything very well. The owners have a so so reputation but I have always been treated nicely. I know this isn't politically correct around here but I think they have my favorite almond and plain croissant. The breads are always fresh, cookies you can't go wrong with any. I have yet to have a cake from here but that will change soon. read more

Love their Fresh Pastries- You can always get fresh ones from there. I just realized that I have been going there for over 16 years.

My Grandma Dorothy always said, "A house guest should never show up empty handed." My go to item for making sure I have something delicious to bring is Bonelle's Rugulach , usually a mix of chocolate and raspberry. At $20 for a pound the cookies are not cheap, but they always are well appreciated. The owner is a hoot, a very nice woman who apparently is a neighborhood fixture. read more
