We got married last year and we are STILL getting compliments from our guests about how amazing our…read morewedding cake was, and rightfully so!! We did a complimentary tasting with Pedro to decide what flavors would best represent us in cake form and it was such a cute experience. We decided on a quilted 4 tier cake with white buttercream filled with vanilla mousse and dulce de leche. The flavors were absolutely perfect and the cake was so visually appealing. I'm drooling just thinking about it lol. Thank you for creating such an unforgettably delicious and truly beautiful cake for our winter wonderland wedding!

Unfortunately, the visit did not meet the level of cleanliness, professionalism, and personal…read moreattention that we are looking for as we were making a decision for my daughter's wedding. When we arrived, we noticed flies inside the bakery, as well as a spill on the floor. We were then asked to sit directly in front of the area where the spill was located, which was uncomfortable given the circumstances. In addition, our interaction with a staff mmbr felt very rushed. She spoke extremely quickly, and the presentation came across as somewhat rehearsed and impersonal. We understand that she may have been trying to efficiently walk us through the process, but we were hoping for more of a personal consultation and a genuine sense of care and enthusiasm for such an important part of the wedding. The place needs an all around makeover. Btw, The cake was plain and the frosting was nothing to brag about.

Over the years their…read morerotating menu has now included other desserts in addition to cookies such as cakes, pies and brownie creations. Some flavors I find can be either hit or miss depending what it is. I recently like the Martha Stewart collection they released this week. There was a special deal they were also giving out two chocolate chip cookie thins for free. The thins were perfectly soft and chewy. Just enough saltiness to the sweet. The coconut layer cake had light fluffy layers like a cloud. It was just enough sweetness with layers of light creme and shredded coconut and toasted coconut on top. Service from the employees is usually good. They greet every person who enter the store saying welcome to the store. So always a great customer service experience.

In 2014 I was looking for a cake for my Husband's 40th and Mona went above and beyond. I told her…read moreall of his interests, hobbies and colors. The flavor we requested was a blue - red velvet cake. The cake destabilize was moist and delicious all of the decorations including the NY GIANTS football helmet was edible. Everyone raved about the presentation and taste. Couple of weeks ago after having a nightmare and many mini meltdowns because someone who said they can do the kind of cake I wanted for my 50th Birthday as a gift & then last minute told me they overestimated their talent and couldn't do it. Mon to the rescue....with a week left she not only remembered my husband's cake but had experience doing geode cakes. She was very helpful in giving her input on what filling would hold up and taste best and again the cake was beautiful. I have out of town family members calling me asking me if I have any left over to send them some they with pay for shipping. Lol. Mona, thanks so very much for your talents.

All the guests asked me where I got the cake, not only because of the design but because of how delicious it was! I will definitely return to Mona and highly recommend.

As new customers who recently moved to the area, we shopped at ShopRite in Bethpage twice, and…read moreunfortunately, both visits left us disappointed with the checkout experience. During our first visit on a Monday afternoon, the store was fairly busy. When we reached the checkout, the cashier offered no greeting, no communication, and rushed our order through the register. What surprised us most was that there was no assistance with bagging our groceries. Having worked in the supermarket industry myself, I found the lack of customer service and basic courtesy disappointing. We left the store confused about whether customers are expected to bag all of their own groceries, as no one explained the process. Because of that first experience, we assumed this was store policy and were prepared to bag everything ourselves during our second visit. This time, the cashier was somewhat friendlier and at least greeted us, but the checkout process felt very rushed. We had 43 items and were actively bagging our groceries while my wife completed payment. Before we had finished organizing and bagging our purchase, another customer was directed to the checkout lane behind us and began moving our items aside to make room. The customer appeared frustrated, and the situation made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. Once again, there was no assistance from the cashier and no explanation of how customers are expected to manage bagging while the next order is already being processed. What made the experience even more frustrating was observing several employees elsewhere in the store appearing to have free time while customers at the front end were struggling to keep up with the checkout process. If the store's policy is for customers to bag their own groceries, that should be clearly communicated. If it is not the policy, then additional assistance at checkout would greatly improve the customer experience. We understand that retail is challenging and that stores must operate efficiently. However, customer service, communication, and courtesy still matter. Based on our first two visits, the checkout experience felt impersonal, rushed, and unnecessarily stressful. We hope management will review the front-end operation and consider ways to make the checkout process more welcoming and customer-friendly for both new and returning customers.

I was shocked to be charged $15 for a regular grilled chicken sandwich on a roll--nothing fancy, just a basic sandwich. I called to question the price, and they admitted it was a mistake and said no one should be charged that much. Yet when I was in a rush heading to the beach, they still charged me that amount. This kind of pricing is unheard of for such a simple item, and it shows a serious lack of customer care. I have no idea what happened to this place, but sadly, it's not what it used to be. Definitely won't be coming back anytime soon. And it isn't about the price anymore, the entire establishment has become a money hungry place. It's so unfortunate how downhill this place has gone. I don't care if I $20 for a sandwich but the fact that it's grilled chicken on a roll and now they say they charge an extra $1 for a roll is beyond me. Customer service has gone completely down the drain here. HORRIBLE on their part. Being a life long customer, Pauly would never allow this. Ever.

Not a dense and chewy bagel but a smooth, tender and easy biting experience. There can only be one place in NY for this perfection - Il Capo di tutti I capi - the Boss of all Bosses; I'm writing about Bagel Boss. The original location that is open 24 hours and has been doing this for over 120 years. I did get a toasted everything bagel with butter ( $3.53) and it was outstanding. The coffee was hot and fresh and the employees making the egg sandwiches tonight were having fun as we somehow got into a conversation about Mike Myers's character Fat Bastard in the movie " Austin Powers". Great proactive and respectful crew here. Love them! Bagel Boss Hicksville has so much more - a whole section of delicious sweets and goodies - black and white cookies, rainbow cookies, black and white muffins every type of muffin imaginable, halvah bars, raspberry twists.......! What makes his location also very unique is the quality and versatility of their salads that they prepare. Their seafood salad is out of this world. The salmon is crazy delicious. ( video posted from November 2021). They just remodeled and created a beautiful, big, easily accessible open space by the busy counters. The dining area is warm and cosy. There is also seating outside. The restrooms ( separate for men and women) are immaculate and well stocked with HOT water. I love the old school water pouring metal jug by the hand wash sink in the dining room area. Most definitely the Boss of all Bagel Bosses!
