If you haven't tried the cannoli cream filled cake, you're missing out!!! I called 3 days prior to the day I needed the cake and they were able to fulfill my order. My only complaint is that I told them the time I'd be coming and when I arrived it wasn't ready so I had to wait 30 mins. It's the first time it ever happened in my years of being a customer here. I wish they would have called me to let me know. But it's okay, it's a great business with friendly employees and great product.

All we did was pick flavors, shared a picture where we got the inspiration, and then...it was there at our wedding exactly as we envisioned!! We had colors, fresh flowers, etc. It was beautiful and contemporary! We even got feedback from our guests that the cake was far as wedding cakes go, really delicious! We took the topper the next day and shared with everyone again! Let's be honest - a wedding cake is the most important cake in your life. And I'd highly recommend Vincenzo!

Our wedding cake that Vincenzo made for us was absolutely gorgeous and incredibly delicious! We…read moreloved it and all the guests were so wowed by it too! First, I have to apologize for my terrible camera skills and Vincenzo because his cake is a hundred times more beautiful in person! The wedding cake I purchased from Vincenzo was, honestly, such a good deal. Vincenzo was the very first cake maker I approached. I approached several other high profile luxury cake makers after but I either did not find enough value or tasted horrible. Julia Fedorova's cakes tasted really awful among a million other problems with her. Ron Ben Israel's cakes are too expensive--it did not make sense to go with him when you are essentially getting an extremely similar cake for much cheaper with Vincenzo since Vincenzo worked under Ron Ben Israel. Therefore, I circled back to Vincenzo, convinced he was the right cakemaker to go with. I was not wrong. This was the best deal ever. I cannot believe that even my husband--who has thought that every cake I have ever gotten him has not tasted good--actually loved the cake and could not stop eating it!!! It's been a week since my wedding and my husband is still asking me if it is possible to just order a huge regular cake from Vincenzo so he can have more cake! Likewise, My brother, who normally doesn't enjoy sweets, also ate most of his cake! Honestly, if I ever need a fancy cake again, I will not think twice to go back to Vincenzo. We are so happy and so glad that we purchased Vincenzo's cake! No regrets!

But Sal's is bringing the rainbow cookie into the 2020s with all sorts of innovative variations, including a rainbow cookie coffee cake and a variety with canoli cream replacing a layer of jam. In the end, our favorite was still the classic version. Although I had the same complaint I frequently have, which is that the chocolate layer could have been a little more generous.

Unfortunately, everything tasted stale. The crumb topping was so dry it turned to dust, and the cake itself was extremely dry and difficult to swallow. The chocolate-covered pretzels also tasted stale, and the chocolate had an old, off flavor. I was disappointed, especially since I was bringing these items to share with my coworkers. Their reaction was unanimous: not good. I expected much fresher products and a better overall experience. I called and the girl was like. OH, sorry I will tell my boss. But we do make it fresh every morning. No, I don't think so. The girls seem angry and the place was not kept up, like it once was! So sad. So many bakeries on the island. I won't be going back there.

You can def find them from their cute sign out from that says Coffee and Flowers!! When walking in it's a really nice modern set up. A coffee bar to the right and in the back a beautiful flower refrigerator. With a large window with fresh flowers and women making flower boutiques. This cafe is really thoughtfully set up. When we walked in there was a gentleman standing behind the coffee bar who greeted us and answered all our coffee questions. He was extremely nice and helpful. They have an array of different coffees to choose from. They also have desserts and homemade chocolates. All coffee is from Brooklyn Roasting Company. An artisanal coffee company out of Dumbo Brooklyn that specializes in speciality coffee from different parts of the world. We decided on a flat white with real caramel and an iced caramel coffee. Also we got an oreo cheesecake. There is limited seating but we did get a seat inside. The coffee was delicious smooth and rich. Extremely creamy. Perfect cup of coffee! The cheesecake was delicious. We also got to try the homemade chocolate Bons bons. Which would be fabulous for this up coming Valentine's Day. They were dark chocolate currant and white chocolate crisp. They were super delicious . A nice crisp out side and creamy inside. I really enjoyed them. I met the owner Olga and some of her staff. She was absolutely amazing. She seems to be extremely passionate about what she does and it shows through her flowers, coffee and desserts. This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood.

My favorite is the plain donut with a hole middle and chocolate icing. The pastries such as the danish are only worth three stars since I prefer the French standard. It's too hard and the flavorful fruit is sweeter than I prefer. The 4 stars are for the simple doughnuts with a hole in the middle. The custom ones are too dry or perhaps old. Examples include the apple cider donut and the one with red and green cake inside, covered in chocolate icing.

The donut is not pictured because once we peeled the wrapper off, it looked like disgusting slop. That was the third item we tried of the three we purchased and I was just angry. My dreams of sweets became a nightmare. We saw the Cookie Monster Rainbow Slice on IG a few months ago. While on Staten Island we decided to stop in and try a few things. The brownie on the top of the cake was extremely low quality. Did they just get cosmic brownie and stick it on top? Honestly, that would have been much better if they had actually done that. The cake was moist, but had a very odd flavor - it tasted like almond extract or almond paste. I don't understand how that belongs in this cake, but I guess someone thought it was good. We usually get our seven layer donuts from Alfonso's and we will continue doing so. This was a serious miss. We were disappointed because everything looks so good on their social media/ website. We will certainly not be returning. I won't be fooled twice by pretty pictures.
