We've been to Alpine Pastry Shop several times over the years, and it has never disappointed…read more The bakery is located in a large shopping center with a huge parking lot, but finding a spot close to the store can still be challenging during busy times. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the quality has always justified the cost in our experience. One thing that stands out is how helpful the staff is. They're always willing to answer questions and help you choose something based on your preferences, which is especially helpful given the large selection. On this visit, we tried four Rainbow Cookie Donuts and four Cannoli Rainbow Cookie Donuts. While both were delicious, the clear favorite among our group was the Cannoli Rainbow Cookie Donut. The regular Rainbow Cookie Donuts were very tasty but extremely sweet, while the cannoli version had a better balance of flavors and was more enjoyable overall. Whether we're picking up pastries for a special occasion or just stopping in for a treat, Alpine consistently delivers fresh, high-quality desserts. It's become one of our go-to bakeries on Long Island, and we look forward to coming back.

The inside Rainbow cookie is moist and dense.

I am surprised to see the negative reviews of Park Bake shop on here honestly. We have been coming…read morehere since we moved to the area 5 years ago and this is honestly one the best we have ever had. The negative reviews are kind of funny because of what people are complaining about. One guy went here to get coffee? No, this is not the place to get coffee, walk in the door and see that, it's not what they do. I don't think they even have an espresso machine here. I do have to admit that Park Bake shop does do breads and bagels but they are not very good. I tried once or twice because they looked good but the taste just isn't there. But what they do well is cookies, cakes, and pastries. Pretty much anything in the cases are excellent. All the cookies are awesome, always fresh, and all reasonably priced. I love Park Bake shop and will continue to come here often!

Good breakfast and better coffee. The staff were all so lively and welcoming. Made suggestions as…read morewe were first time guests. I had a breakfast croissant and an iced caramel latte. Yes they have non dairy options. Prices were reasonable, with cash and card options. Lastly, the setting is so cafe appropriate. The food options are displayed well and the menu is an easy read. The restrooms are clean as well as the dining and guest area. There is also parking and seating out front. I must return for another visit. Really enjoyed my time there.

Sweetwaters Coffee in Smithtown has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. From the moment…read moreyou walk in, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The space has a cozy, creative feel! The artwork on the walls adds a personal touch and gives the café a relaxed, inspiring vibe. It's the kind of place that makes you want to open your laptop, sip your drink, and settle in for a productive afternoon. I ordered the sugar-free brown sugar latte, and it was absolutely fantastic. It had just the right balance of rich espresso flavor and smooth sweetness...not overly sugary, but still comforting and flavorful. You can tell they really care about the quality of their drinks here. The fact that they offer sugar-free options is such a thoughtful touch for those who want to enjoy something indulgent without all the sugar. They also offer dairy free alternatives. They also have a great selection of baked goods and pastries to go along with your coffee...everything from muffins and cookies to croissants and other treats that pair perfectly with their lattes and teas. It's nice to have something fresh and tasty on the side, especially if you're stopping in for breakfast or a mid-day snack. One of the things I love most about Sweetwaters is the seasonal menu. They have creative fall drinks that bring all the cozy flavors of the season; perfect for chilly mornings or afternoon pick-me-ups. It's clear the staff takes pride in keeping the menu interesting and fresh. The staff themselves deserve a special mention. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely kind. You can tell they enjoy being there, which adds so much to the overall experience. The music was also a fun surprise...hearing "The Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Show while sipping my latte definitely made me smile, and the rest of the playlist kept the energy light and enjoyable without being distracting. Another bonus: there's a drive-thru, which makes it super convenient for busy mornings when you want great coffee without leaving your car. All in all, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea in Smithtown checks every box -- delicious drinks, tasty baked goods, cozy atmosphere, great music, friendly service, and a creative environment. Whether you're looking for a comfortable place to do some work, meet up with friends, or just unwind with a great cup of coffee and a pastry, this café is a gem. Highly recommended!

Nice little bakery nestled by the train tracks in St James on Lake Avenue. The renovation really…read moreopened up the space and made the entrance more inviting. However it's hit or miss purchasing Kaiser rolls. It's amazing how quickly they "sell" out by 11am while there are plenty of plain and sesame seed rolls left to purchase. Additionally the size of the rolls had gotten smaller while the price keeps increasing now $1.00 a roll half the size of a roll from other bakeries and deli's. Apple turnovers are very good but again expensive ( flour going up I guess). Staff always friendly and welcoming but I wish someone would run numbers on roll sales so there'd be some Kaiser rolls left to purchase. Varied selection of cookies, pastries and pies and there's a coffee station for those needing a caffeine fix.

First time here and looking for the best sweet treat. Coming here towards the end of the day is…read morenot the best as many of their items are gone. With an ideal location across the street from the St James train station, I can understand why doughnuts and muffins would be gone. Smart! We picked up eclairs, Napoleons, cream puffs and cannolis to go. The black and white cookie looked really good so we'll come back for that as I'm always on the hunt for the best. The cannoli is a small size and has a distinctive nutmeg flavor. I am not crazy about the green sprinkles though. Crunchy though. The eclair is filled with a custard and the chocolate was discolored. Not sure why. It was okay. I have had the Napoleon or cream puff yet so we will see how they hold up the next day. The store has a nice variety of goodies including decorated cakes, cookies and breads so please give them a try.

I vowed to get to this bakery that is quite a distance from my home. Sadly, I just heard that they will be permanently closing their doors on December 26, 2025. With that being said, I wanted to make sure I got there to get their rainbow cookie crumb cake for one last time! I made a special trip on my way home from work. On this late Wednesday evening, I stopped in to find the LAST piece of rainbow crumb cake for the day. While they had plenty of the regular crumb cake and red velvet crumb cake, it's the rainbow cookie crumb cake that is my favorite. BTW, I recommend going earlier in the day to ensure you get exactly what you want. Luckily they still had what I just had to have. Additionally, they have a bunch of other baked goods. In the cases there were cookies, cakes, cheese cakes, lobster claws, Napoleons, cupcakes, etc. too! The homey bakery space is roomy with a table of baked-good trays to go in the center of the store. Since I was the only person in the bakery, the girls were attentive and accommodating.
