There was a constant long line of customers during our wedding cake tasting. Bakery items are fresh and good quality. My favorite item was the hazelnut eclair and chocolate eclair with vanilla cream.

Tables are small and each fit 2-3 people at most. Overall, I would recommend this bakery!

Stepping inside of this magnificent dessert emporium I became perplexed by the variety of desserts and pastries that were very desirable and readily available. In the words of Vinnie Barbarino, I'm so confused (IYKYK). It's a different setup that causes the line to move faster than it used to, I see the improvement. The ordering is done in one place and cashing out is next to it, in the same area. You still walk in and head straight to the display cases where you pick you pleasure. I did not pick my names sake only because it slipped my mind due to me being focused on breakfast. No, I don't eat cakes for breakfast. I picked up a couple croissants, apple turnover, a couple of cheese Danishes, and an almond croissant. Service was prompt and the employees were attentive as well as pleasant. I like how they approach the counter and inquire about your status versus staring at you letting you try to figure out if someone is going to help you or not. At the check out, there's the coffee station or tea. I ordered 2 French Vanilla coffees, to say the least the French vanilla flavor seemed distant to none. On the second trip it was exact same coffee request with the same results. An improvement needed is to have different sweetners for the coffee. Not everyone wants white sugar or sweet n low. Since the vanilla syrup is not sweet enough, another liquid sweetener can work. Nonetheless this was such a sweet experience! Inspire more, Yelp more!

Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

This is what made me come back and order again this year. Unfortunately my expectations were not met this time around. The cake was nothing of what I expected when I went through the design when I first placed the order. The digital art that was placed on the cake and the fondant job were not neatly done. I'm afraid of what the cake would have looked like had I not supplied them with some decorations. Needless to say I was disappointed and will not be using them again for any custom cake jobs. I definitely did not get my money's worth.

All tasted really good, especially the cannoli! Their cannoli cream is not too sweet, just perfect! The cream puffs were good too! I definitely want to try other ones as well! They also had cakes, cookies and more and the price was great too! The large cannoli was $5 and the cream puffs were $16 per pound (I paid around $2 for two cream puffs). This place is small so you can take out and try! I'll definitely come back for cannoli and other pastries!!

It's a small spot but loaded with well-curated goods and comfort. It's nicely designed so you feel relaxed while shopping. I went on a day that they were having a holiday pop up, so there were other local vendors exhibiting their goods. There are lots of wellness goods such as aromatherapy and essential oils, handmade items, and plenty of items that are perfect for gifts. They do flower arrangements, have a coffee bar, and you can order a few desserts there too. In addition, I spied a calendar on their wall that says they do classes for things like garland making, candlemaking, flower arrangements, etc. Would be cool to check out eventually! My only little nitpick is that barely any items had the price disclosed and I hate when I'm browsing and can't really assess how much I'd be spending and have to ask each time. I like putting together gifts comprised of various things and sticking to a budget so this was annoying. I'll definitely be back though and spend a little more time when it is a little less chaotic inside!

The Super Mario decal was not centered and there was a wrinkle on the left side of the decal. It appears that the wrinkle is from a break in the cake and there was an attempt to cover the mistake.

The quality of this cake appears to be one of an amateur and not worth the $90 spent. Please review the photos shared below.

I nervously mentioned I needed a cake for the evening.. by 6pm, as I needed to be in Williamsburg by 7:15pm.

I'm still a fan of Farine despite them not making the Magnano bars anymore. I used to run to…read moreJackson Heights just for Chef Magnano's desserts. This Hillside location is much closer to my hood but it doesn't quite offer the same goodies. Menu for the baked goods is smaller and incorporates the Indian style desserts, very sweet stuff but delicious. Surprisingly still, they are serving fried chicken, fries and burgers. I see a brunch menu as well on the weekends but I have yet to try. This visit, grabbed two lattes, one Napoleon dessert to stay and three others to go. My kiddos wanted the red velvet and strawberry cake slices. My hubby opted for the Tiramisu. They open pretty late considering the area, daily close at 10pm. There's ample seating in the bakery but don't get too comfortable, I'm sure given the volume of patrons and the # of tables; they will need the rotation of customers to ensure there's room to sit. The hot food was pretty popular while I was there. But this visit was all about the baked goods for me.
