Crazy we never knew of this beautiful pasty shop. Everything looked delicious. The desserts were amazing. Anna was so accommodating and welcoming. Coffee was top notch. Loved the choc strawberry shortcake. Not too sweet. The cheesecake was so light and creamy. The biscotti was crunchy yet light. Will definitely come back. read more

Tried a strawberry cheesecake slice. The topping was your a syrupy strawberry glaze with jello layer. The cheesecake is not your traditional cheesecake. It felt like part mousse part jello part cheesecake. Not a big fan since I was expecting cheesecake. read more

ordered a graduation special cake for my son who wanted a graham cracker crust on a cheesecake and they still didn't get it right. when my wife went to pick it up they spelled my son's name after I went over it 3 times not that difficult for the amount of money they ask for unfortunately disappointed read more

Best cannolis . Super reasonable prices! Accommodating hours too. This is my go to place, but I have to bring something as a guest read more

This is the worst cafe in queens. The help is ridiculous inexperienced, they do not know how to make a coffee. The owner of Albanian decent , dislikes his Greek customers. He is a piece of living shit.The pastries are as stale as can be. I do not know how this business stays open with lousy , desserts, sweets , service and ambience. People do not know the low quality they are eating in this cafe.The other cafes in the area blow him away with a long stride. To all if the Greek community,,stay away from this lousy Albanian. read more

After walking by their enticing display on multiple occasions, I finally decided to pop in. They have a full assortments of small tarts/pastries, French macaron, cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. We went for an order of spinach pie, mini cannolis, red velvet cupcake, and a slice of cheesecake. The red velvet cupcake was so disappointingly DRY and tasted like it had been in the display for a week. Cheesecake wasn't bad - just if you were expecting a rich, thick, and creamy slice, you'd also be sorely disappointed. Their cheesecake was more on the light/airy side.. not bad if you know what to expect. The cannolis were pretty good, standard crispy shell, filling not too sweet. The one and only reason I would come back to this bakery - their spinach pie. I took this to go and ate it for breakfast the next morning after popping it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes and it was so good. Perfect spinach-dough ratio, filo dough super flaky. read more

Big selection of desserts. Quality is ok. I went in the afternoon but I guess it's fresh earlier in the day. The cream used in the desserts is good. The dough, crust etc wasn't as good. The galaktobureko had good texture and sweetness but it's not up there with the best. I'll give it another chance if I'm around earlier in the day. read more

I bought a Napoleon cake. I asked the attendant if it was fresh she responded that it was done today. I got home and I could even put the candle on the frosting was hard and the crust was so stale and it tasted terrible. I would avoid this bakery at all cost. Do not buy cakes here. they are expensive $40 and the cake went in the garbage. read more

I highly recommend Elite Pastries Cafe for custom cakes. I seriously ordered the same cake twice lol. I've gotten pastries and ready made cakes before and they were always delicious but never a custom cake until now. My son wanted an Octonauts cake for school so I was looking for a place that can do an ocean themed cake since I would get the figurines for the cake. I didn't want a fondant cake for 4 year olds. I showed the owner the picture of the cake I wanted and he delivered . We choose a funfetti cake with strawberry mouse filling. Very yummy and everyone enjoyed it. My husband and I were still craving that cake and when I asked my son what cake he wanted for his actual birthday he said he wanted the same cake. So we got it again :). If I need a custom cake I will def look to order from here again. read more

Got the wedding cake from Elite pastries cafe, only because it was a part of the wedding package from the catering. We provided all the decorations to go on the cake. Alex charged me additional money for him to put the decorations on it. The flavors were not what we discussed and were really terrible. When I brought the cake to him after the wedding to show him that it wasn't what we wanted, he said, the cake already gone bad that's why it takes bad. The wedding was on Saturday, this was Tuesday morning and that's what the cake tasted like on Saturday. He did not apologize or expressed any regrets about ruining the cake part of the wedding. I would NOT recommend this bakery to anyone for any dessert needs. read more

Was looking for a birthday cake for my mom. Looked at some nearby bakeries and ended up choosing Elite Pastries due to the good reviews and wanted to try something new. I called the day before and let them know what I wanted - the lady on the phone said she would prepare the name plate for me. I arrived early, there was no line and cake was ready with accurate name plate. Price was reasonable. I selected a tiramisu cake, because it was different than your usual birthday cake. While the flavor wasn't my favorite (was cinnamon heavy) and it contained more cream than "cake", it was still good and enjoyed by all. The cream thankfully wasn't too sweet and the dark chocolate topping helped offset the cinnamon. Overall experience was hassle-free and I was happy to support a local business. read more

Its a nice cafe to take a break with friends and enjoy some treats. Greeks items, cakes, cookies.... Cakes got a slice of red velvet cake. It Was good but it had a strong hint of lemon in every bite. I did not sense enough cake. They were a little heavy with the cream cheese frost. But to each's own I guess. I will go back and try the carrot cake next! Heard that was a fav. read more

The miniature pastries were mouthwatering. After lunch at Thai Social, Val brought me to have dessert at Elite Pastries Cafe in Bayside. Between the two of us we had chocolate covered strawberry, pistachio macaron, fruit tarts and lemon meringue pie. Valerie drank a cappuccino and I had a single shot macchiato. Elite has a fairly large space with indoor seating nicely spaced apart and a unisex restroom. We had an enjoyable time. With an array of tempting cookies to choose from I bought three varieties and have been savoring the tender biscotti with tea every day. read more

If you know the Bayside area, you know that Martha's Bakery is the big name brand "famous" bakery in the area, but this pastry and dessert shop should be just as well known and famous, they have delicious desserts and pastries that are way more affordable and reasonably priced. They have full size desserts ,and my favorites are the mini pastries. I get a mini blueberry tart, a mini Boston Cream tart and a mini Canolli every time I go in. They have chocolate covered strawberries also. They charge you by the weight/pound of what you purchase. They have coffees drinks also. They make cakes to order for special occasions. Their pastries taste fresh and delicious. There are two young ladies who work there in the evenings and they are very courteous and helpful. I hope a manager comes to help them lock up the store at night for their safety. Their store is across the street from Food town on Bell Blvd. I would definitely recommend it read more

Was on this block and decided to stop by and pickup some pastries. Got ekmek, fruit tart, almond cookies and a cupcake. OMG do not get the cupcake! Taste stale. Not sure if it's because of low business or what but it tasted stale, hard cake and terrible tasting frosting. Hopefully the other items which are their stable still taste fine read more

A local shop which has been in the neighborhood for over a dozen years. A lot of people prefer coming over here than go to to the overcrowded MARTHA'S COUNTRY BAKERY or THE FRENCH WORKSHOP further down the boulevard. Those bakeries are local chains with about 4 locations each. I purchased a Napoleon cake and an Oreo cheesecake. In my opinion both those desserts tasted very good. Next time I'm here I'll get some Greek desserts. read more

Bought a few pastries from this bakery as we were walking through the area. We had the Boston creme, cookies and cream macaron, raspberry macaron and mini fruit tart. The mini fruit tart was the most decent although the tart shell tasted store-bought. Both macaroons were a disaster, the raspberry especially had a very artificial/chemical taste. The Boston creme really didn't need the chocolate icing or caramel swirl on top, it was overkill and didn't mask the lack of flavour in the creme filling, the cake of it was too dense. I would not recommend :( read more

If I could give this no starts I would. I went to the bakery today to pick up some pastries for my family and they were stale and had mold on them. I called the store and they claimed that the moldy galaktoboureko we received was fresh. Clearly, the pictures say otherwise and I don't plan on ever coming here again. read more

I am relatively new to the area; however, I've started to get a clear picture of the pastry shops around here. I liked all of them, but The Elite is unbeatable! The service is really the way it should be (please improve it, French Workshop), but we go there for the pastries, and they are really excellent! So we decided to take the risk for a big family event, according to the theme, and ordered an avocado cake, which turned out to be a real hit! The shape and color were perfect, as was the deliciousness of the cream! We ordered four different types of desserts, and those went even faster than the cake. Great, great, great! read more

The mousse and tiramisu are a chocolate lover's friend. Lots of Greek original food and desserts including yogurt. Enjoy

Stopped by for a coffee, very large variety of pastries. they all looked so good and fresh. I had the nescafé coffee and loved it, the girls helping were so kind. There's quite a number of people who come here for breakfast, seems like a hot spot. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

We hired EPC to do our wedding cake. Set a time to meet with Alex the boss, within an hour or so he had a handful of flavor samples ready for us. After we made our selections, the rest of the correspondence was all over text - easy peasy lemon greasy. And sure enough, on event day, the cake was on time + on target, exactly to spec. Big hit for all the guests. I don't plan on remarrying BUT if you have a wedding in your future and are reading this... do the smart thing read more

Delicious light and fluffy cake, would def come back here for another friends birthday cake

Elite Pastries will never disappoint! I ordered my wedding cake and table desserts from them. My guest were soo happy and enjoyed every bit of it! When I entered Elite, it was very reassuring that everyone is extremely kind and patient. DESSERTS Are very special to me, so I take a while to make up by mind. Along with my wedding order, I requested some customized cookies. These cookies are generous size and delicious! I was so happy to have them on my wedding day! Thank you so much Elite Pastries! read more

This place is so legit when it comes to creating some delicious and beautiful pastries. The strawberry cheesecake is one of my favorites, mousse like texture, the cakes are just like the Campbells soup slogan's, "Mm, Mm, good!" The mini fruit tarts to the cannolis everything in this place is righteous! There is a reason they call themselves "Elite Pastries" They earned it!!! read more

Bakery/Cafe located conveniently on Bell Blvd.. has a large selection of pastries and desserts. Their variety of choices and different flavors rivals Martha's Bakery. Taste, however, is a whole different matter. I came in here one day cuz I was craving cupcakes, and my go-to cupcake bakery, Teaspoon, had closed for the day. Elite Pastries does not have a large selection of cupcakes..only about 6 flavors to choose from, including red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, carrot and some others. I asked the ladies working there, "When were these made?" They replied that the cupcakes just came out fresh like 15mins before I walked in. Okay cool. I bought 4. Now these aren't the small cupcakes that Teaspoon makes; these are fairly large cupcakes. Back in my car, I started on the vanilla cupcake. First the cream icing on top. HOLY CRAP, that sh!t was sweet! Now.. I have a sweet tooth. I LOVE cupcakes! At Teaspoon, I can easily eat a dozen on my own! But the icing on top of that vanilla cupcake was so sweet, it was borderline disgusting ((I'm not sure how to word it..hopefully that makes some sense..loll)). I couldn't finish it. So I used my spoon and scooped out the icing on top and proceeded to the cupcake itself. Dry as fcuk. Not good. Disappointing start. Next I try the chocolate cupcake. Same deal with the overly sweet icing. Scooped off the icing and proceeded to the cupcake. Not too bad. Moist, good chocolate flavor. So vanilla is crap. Chocolate cupcake tastes good. Now, I'm not trying to say this bakery is crap. This review is based solely on my experience with the cupcakes, and it only warrants 2 stars from me. I will definitely go back and try some of their other pastries and cakes. But no more cupcakes for sure! read more

Elite Pastries Cafe - Avoid the cupcakes... Extremely sweet frosting.. - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Decent bakery in the area. There's a great variety of options to choose from but I got their tiramisu and their cheesecake, along with some rainbow cookies. The tiramisu was pretty good but the cheesecake was very mediocre and I was highly disappointed in it. There was barely any crust (which is crucial to a good cheesecake for me) and the flavor just wasn't there. The rainbow cookies and the other selection of cookies that they have are priced by how many pieces you get and it gets weighed. The rainbow cookie was dense but I liked it like that. It had a good chocolate coating on top with some type of cream between the layers. All of the options are affordable and there's also plenty of seating inside as well. The staff is also nice. read more

It is my regular coffee place. The cakes are delicious especially Tiramisu and Chocholate Mouse cake..

I love iced coffee so I tried so many places but this place tops it all.. Beside, it is so inexpensive as well.. it's only $2.25.... it went up from $2.00 and it's big. read more
