    4.5. Dropped in on Saturday around 6:30pm and picked up a couple pastries to go. The location is on a corner and walking into the store, what comes into view first is the counter with pastry displays and register. For pretty late in the day, I felt lucky there were still quite a few items left! Getting a cannelle was on my mind though these were sold out by the time I arrived, so a pain au chocolate $4.25 and an apple turnover $4.75 it was. For ease of transportation the staff member manning the cashier was able to provide an extra paper baggie for the croissant, though it's extra (I think $0.2?) for a larger bag with handles. Their quality is very consistent and delicious. Buttery, properly laminated and risen, I appreciated the dark chocolate in the pan au chocolate so it wasn't too sweet. The apple turnover was good as well, a little sweeter from the apple filling. So good, especially for the price!

    this bakery has such a special place in my heart. we've been buying birthday cakes from this bakery for the past year and everything we got (the napoleon, chocolate mousse cake, black forest cake, espresso 31) was delicious! i think the standout is definitely the espresso 31 as it has so many different elements (almond chocolate cake, espresso creme brulee, chocolate mousse, and chocolate pearls). there are lots of different flavors and textures that worked well together. the cake is so good that i've requested it for my birthday again after having it for my last birthday. the rest of my family tried it this time and really liked it too. we've also gotten other goodies like the brownie, cheesecake (amazing), carrot cake, and a roasted chicken and sirarcha sandwich and they were all good! this place is such a gem and we will keep coming back for sure.

    Delicious desserts. Had their croissants and palmier which were so yummy, flaky to perfection. Also go their sandwich with tuna but it was really hard bread. Tough to chew. There are a few tables and there is also a bathroom available. Their coffee is decent and so is their chai latte. I would go back if I ever in the area again.

    I am always willing to make the over one-hour trek to Cannelle LIC because of their premium cake quality and reasonable price. *Galette des Rois $30 L size Freshly prepared right before I picked it up, the pastry was so buttery, puffy and flaky. A rich almond paste was encased between the golden pastry layers. Surprisingly, the sweetness level of their frangipane is the lowest (compared to Dominique Ansel and Frenchette). Also the mini ceramic they hid in the king's cake was so adorable. What a cute surprise. I enjoyed it both warm and at room temperature, but I do prefer having it reheated in oven before serving to gain back the crispiness. The L size costed only $30 with 8 servings. The most affordable galette des rois I've ever bought. It can be pre-ordered online 24 hours before the pick up date. I also spotted that they sell S size ($20) in store, which is perfect for a smaller household.

    I've passed Cannelle a couple of times when I walked through Long Island City to the waterfront. On a nice, warm, Sunday morning, I had the chance to check it out and order a morning coffee and a baguette sandwich. The coffee was good and the sandwich was great (salami and cheese with mustard). Nice service and ample seating. Cannelle serves pastries as well, but the sandwiches looked too good to pass up.

    Almond croissant

    Great little bakery in LIC. I've been trying to go to the original one in Jackson Heights for a while, but they usually sell out of the primary French croissant items. Staff was very friendly. Area was clean. Nice music (not too loud). Not a ton of space. Would not recommend this location as one to bring a laptop and do work at. I ordered an almond croissant. It was excellent with a good amount of butter. They also had the cream on the inside. Will definitely go back. Very fair pricing

    We get cakes from here for special occasions at my office, which is not too far away and I always enjoy them. Everything I've had from here is nice but I really like the Gateau St Honore cake...it's really an incredible creation.

    Not much more to say but... Everything tastes as LIGHT AS A CLOUD! Items I've had: - Almond Croissant: very large, surprisingly light & crispy, not-too-sweet - mini Black Forest cake: again CLOUD - The Cannelle: believe the hype! buttery, vanilla, hits of rum. Sponge cake meets crumpet with a crisp shell - Carrot Cake & Red Velvet cake at a party: sliced, it might be small but Big impact! Great ingredients & flavors, raisins & nuts in the Carrot Cake, you can taste the quality, the cake looks dense but is again - a CLOUD. - Small Molten Chocolate Cake: (from a box of 12 at a party) VERY gooey on the inside (maybe 70%). Would have liked it to be a bit more cooked. Again tasty and not-too-sweet, quality ingredients. Open until the evening, which is nice. The space is a welcoming minimal wood design. It might be possible to work or have meetings in there, but feel the traffic in and out, of the mostly rectangle space, might be distracting. Wouldn't mind trying some other sandwiches or quiche for lunch and just a plain croissant. Decent prices for this quality. About a 15-20 minute walk from the Courthouse Square subway, but worth it! A very gentrified, now family-friendly area- between industrial areas. I think the NYC ferry stop is very close by though.

    Wow the desserts at this place are amazing. I loved them. They taste really good. Me who doesnt often like to eat dessert because I want to control my weight, i gotta say this place blew my mind! I will definitely order more often from this place : )

    Vanilla Panna Cotta w/ Passionfruit
    Samantha D.

    Bought a vanilla panna cotta with passionfruit to go on a Monday night. Didn't end up eating it until maybe 2 days later, but it was still pretty good. The panna cotta itself wasn't too sweet, and there was a good vanilla flavor to it. It was very smooth and creamy. The passionfruit syrup on top was so good. It tasted fresh, the seeds provided a nice textural contrast, and the tartness complimented the panna cotta really well. The price for the panna cotta wasn't terrible either. $6.50 for the panna cotta in LIC, is pretty good pricing for the quality and taste of it.

    I know it's a super bad pic.. Coco Traise (L), Praline (in the middle)
    Meghna S.

    Pretty cool french bakery in LIC. Impressed by the range of cakes and desserts. We got two cakes for my friend's bday. Coco fraise is filled with strawberry and coconut mousse, it was delicious and spongy with perfect amount of sugar. Though I wish they added more of real strawberries than the mousse. I'm conflicted about the Praline, it was a heavenly first bite but you can immediately feel the sugar rush hitting you. Too sweet for my taste. Nice bakery to drop by but only if you are in the neighborhood. I don't really think it's a lot different than any other average French bakery near you.

    Napoleon desert
    Molly Z.

    The salami/provolone & club sandwich are what dreams are made of. Like, seriously so good. Every pastry and macaroon I have purchased has also been delicious. Still keeping it at 5 stars since everything is so tasty, but only hurdle to mention: if you don't know what you want and want to browse and look at the case lines (bc everything is so pretty!) it is really hard to do so since the line is formed there. So if you can, look at pics online and have a general idea of what you want before. That is the only issue, especially since I always want to bring guests but that quick pace/no time to look way of ordering isn't for everyone. No one wants to eat their treats in a cloud of anxious energy ;)

    Idk what possessed me to order 2 cake slices. I had such a hard time finishing. I'm all caked out…read morefor the week. 3.5/5 Black sesame basque cheesecake $7- the 1st few bites are great, but the black sesame flavor gets too strong after that 3/5 Ice chiffon cake $7- decent however, I expected the cake itself to be softer & more moist, but it's a bit on the drier side, not sure if the milk powder dusting on top attributes to it 4/5 Vanilla matcha latte- $7.25- I've had their plain matcha before which is good quality matcha, somewhat bitter like it should be w/o tasting like dirt, you add sugar or flavored syrup, last time I didn't add anything which I regretted, since I do like a bit of sweetener, this time I added vanilla syrup which is barely sweet, wish I'd requested a bit more syrup 5/5 Service- employee is very friendly & informative, make sure to ask which desserts are gelatin free if you eat halal or kosher

    I've had my eye on this place for years - should have come here sooner…read more Black sesame basque cheesecake: my favorite of the 4 I tried. This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.

    To be honest this is my go to ice cream spot whenever I get hit with a craving after work or church…read more They have some pretty interesting flavor options and include some new ones every now and then. My personal favorites are the banana pudding and the ooey gooey butter cake but my friends swear by the snap mallow pop the flavor is very creamy so you definitely won't be disappointed if you love ice cream! Definitely give them a visit. Theres enough seating inside and a bench outside along with great people who are usually very welcoming when you first walk in. They do play music inside so if you want a quiet vibe not the place-- but it is 100% "ice cream parlor" vibes! One highlight I noticed a little kids playing area towards the back of the store so a great place to bring the little ones too!

    This was my first visit to Ample Hills Creamery and it will definitely be added to my dessert…read morerotation. I love that they allow you to sample as many flavors as you want and they have something for everyone. Honestly every flavor I sampled was so good that my friend and I shared the flight which gives you 6 mini scoops for $10. It's such a good deal in my opinion and the perfect amount of ice cream to share! Standouts for me were the banana pudding and mango but everything was delicious. Also huge shoutout to the girl working the counter on Friday morning! She's the absolute sweetest and made my day :)
