Cieslak's bakery in Lindenhurst is a hidden gem. Everything is DELICIOUS, fresh and made in-house. Family owned and operated. The prices are extremely reasonable. The box with the apple turnovers and 6 other goodies was under $20. The other box with the mini cheesecake and mini chocolate cream pie and 6 other goodies was under $26. Please support this business. You can call to check availability and have her hold items for pickup later in case it's almost sold out. read more

I was in the area and wanted a sweet treat so I decided to stop into this cute little bakery. The young ladies behind the counter were super nice and helpful. I opted to get the pastry they call a chocolate cigar and it did not disappoint. I warmed it up when I got home and had it with some coffee. If you love to support local small businesses, please give them a try. They have a plethora of options to choose from. read more

Old school and my #1 bakery. My favorite is their rye bread, which you can have sliced regular or thin. I also love their cupcakes. Though they don't always have them. The pecan ring is highly recommended. You could probably eat it all on your way home in the car. Also, in general, these items are not too sweet. People come from all over Long Island to go here. read more

Best bakery on Long Island . Lindenhurst 90 years in business. Cream donuts , jelly donuts, cumb buns, birthday cake and hard seed rolls. yum yum!, read more

This is an old school NY style bakery with fresh quality ingredients . Very few of these bakeries around anymore the one I went to in Queens closed after 90 years in business . I'm so glad I found this bakery as it's just perfect and reminds me of those old school quality bakeries in NYC . The cake were great cookies amazing and the chocolate cream pie soooo good I want to go get one now ! Also try the brownie you'll love it . I highly recommend this bakery read more

Food might be good but the way the owner the spoke to the employees while I was there would NEVER bring me back to that place! Unacceptable!! read more

Grew up coming here and while I don't live in the area anymore, this is always a stop when I'm back visiting and after a stop this morning wanted to give this classic family bakery some love. Everything tastes exactly the same as it did 30 years ago and there is no bakery that beats their linzer tarts or black & whites. My only lament is that they no longer make jelly tarts, which were my fave as a kid. Wellwood is lucky to have the deliciousness of both Modern & Patsy's but absolutely nothing beats Modern. read more

This is by far the best bakery on the Western Suffolk South Shore, nothing really comes close.

Boston cream donuts are amazing here. Also tried the linzer tart cookies and they were good as well. However the sprinkles sandwhich cookies we got were definitely sub par compared to Patsys. Wet would still come back to try more things to compare between the two bakeries as they are only a couple doors down from each other. read more

Greetings Yelpers, I have never been this establishment so my review is based on their Babka Cakes. They were brought as a gift to a function. Both Cheese & Chocolate Babka. ( sorry no photos as they went quickly) Both cakes were moist, soft & delicious. There was actually cheese & chocolate that you could both visibly see & taste unlike some Babka's I've had in the past elsewhere. If their other items are as good as the Babka cakes they must be really good. I would go just for the Babka. read more

We made it back to Long Island after 6 years. So much has changed but not Cieslak's Modern Bakery. It has been our favorite for years and still is the best. Everything from their rolls, breads, cakes, donuts and other goodies are absolute delicious. All of their goods are super fresh and baked to perfection and the cakes are pretty as a picture. We had to put in an order for our return to Texas including our daughters favorites. We left with 3 boxes full of goodies. Crumb buns, raisin buns, and bear claws. We would've ordered more but there was no place to put it. Buttered rolls for our trip to the airport. One of our carry ons was our package from Cieslak's. Everything was fresh when we arrived in Texas and was demolished within 2 days. Thanks, Eileen and team! Cieslak's is a wonderful family owned business! read more

Bought a $20 apple pie from Cieslak's Bakery for thanksgiving- the pie was terrible. Both crust and filling were a bad consistency and taste. Everyone who took a bite politely washed it down and didn't take another. No one could believe it was a "fresh bakery pie" because it was so bad. Very big let down & quite embarrassing. I have gotten plain loaf cakes from them many times that are always good but any time I get something other than that it is always terrible. Literally always - and the only reason I've strayed from the plain loaf cakes has been due to either impulse based on the look of something or just being hungry. Never again. read more

Ran into it because I was nearby. Great family run place. Nice fresh breads. Moist and yummy cream cheese pound cake. Glad I found it. Coffee Only so so. read more

Excellent bakery with many great options. The food is always fresh and the people behind the counter are great to deal with. Between here and Patsy's you don't really need another bakery. =) read more

Zero stars. Place might be a local favorite, but they can't process an order correctly when you order a week in advance. When you call to check on your order they realize they lost it so you make another one. Come to find out they can't process the second order because the "baker" never showed up for work. I am all for time off, sick time emergencies, but a simple phone call notification would have been appreciated. And don't air your frustration over the phone because you might get told "I can't deal with this tone". I am sorry I am frustrated, but you the bakery did not process my order and did not get a call to notify me you wouldn't be processing. Ridiculous read more

Thank you so much for creating my little sisters masterpiece cake for her baby shower!

Like the others have said .... EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whipped cream cakes are out of this world Chocolate mousse cakes are out of this world Ask them to make you the chocolate mousse filled, one vanilla cake layer, one chocolate cake layer, whipped cream covered cake. SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! The service is EXCELLENT they will even make you the cake the same day you order it!!!! Everything I ever got from them was absolutely delicious!!!!! read more

Completely agree with C D. This is a great family run bakery. Every now and then we see THE Mrs. Cieslacks (shes probably a Greatgrandma now) with her apron and big smile behind the counter, and her daughter filling the racks with right out of the oven goodies. Everything is fresh. The girls at the counter are very sweet. (lol) We always stop for their little cherry pies, a bite or two bigger than a single serving, but who cares because it's so delicious. read more

Delicious treats and pastries! Excellent customer service on the weekends. Always a line and always handled appropriately. Highly recommend the Apple Turnovers and Crumb cake! read more

I remember This bakery as Modern Bakery, and I ask you, How the hell can you run a bakery and basically not have it change for as long as I can remember (40 years+). I mean nothing.........the recipes, the counter, the screen door, the cash register. It's nice when memories can stay the same as realities. Thanks guy and and gals. Best crumb bun, jelly bun, custard bun,,,,,,crap I dig this place. read more

This is going to sound really stupid. I haven't even been to this bakery but my friend put out one of Cieslak's Philadelphia Fluff cakes (like a pound cake but infinitely lighter and tastier!) for dessert this week...and, well, here I am. On that one experience, I'll tell you, these folks know how to bake! Incredibly impressive. read more

They made a cake for us for a small gender reveal and it tasted amazing! One of the best cakes I've ever had from a bakery.

This is a staple to Lindenhurst and long island. They have been here for over 76 years and nothing has changed at all inside and with their recipes. Although you may overlook this from the outside, the baked goods inside are the same as they would have been the day they opened. No preservatives and still a family business (kooky and funny). If you want a classic bear claw, apple turnover, this is the place to go. It's especially delightful because it's all pure ingredients which you can taste when you realize how light the product is. Plus it's not overly sweet. Everything you find nowadays (especially supermarkets) are like pure sugar. This place is the best, when I go back to NY to visit, I always stock up on cookies. Can't rave about it enough. read more
