I just moved to Rockaway from Brooklyn and was looking for a solid pie shop (having been spoiled with Blackbird Four Twenty and Petee's). This is the answer. Pie-wise the Coconut Raspberry is stellar. The Cocount almost gooey, deeply textured pie filling contrasting with the slight tartness of the raspberry is delicious. The crumble is also stellar. I also really liked the honey goat cheese biscuit and the malted Chocolate chip cookie was stellar. The vibe of the store is elite bakery with some witchy gift shop vibes thrown in, selling candles and the like. Service was 10/10 and the lady by the counter was kind and helpful. I will definitely be a regular here as long as I live in Rockaway! read more

Friendly bakers in Rockaway beach alternative to the " Italian cookie" bakery . Also sells local homemade candles in this prettily decorated space . Stopped in and picked up a dozen & 1/2 cookies ( sold by the dozen / not by the #) great find! Absolutely AMAZING jelly donuts. read more

Nice people and delicious goodies. I especially like the plain brownie and the coconut raspberry jam pie is to die for.

I ordered a 7in round layer cake for my daughter's bridal shower. Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream. The cake was delicious, it looked exactly the way they said it would after I gave a description of what I wanted. The staff in the store was more than helpful and it was easy to communicate via email. The cake was ready at the agreed upon time. I definitely recommend Fat Cardinal Provisions and I will use them again for future party needs! read more

Went there for the first time and bought the scones. They were super fresh and great texture. The honey/goat cheese - it was very good, but didn't get much of the goat cheese. Bacon/cheddar, which had a subtle corn bread flavor and bacon bits were really good not salty, but again there wasn't much in the way of cheese. Third was the lemon raspberry or some berry and that was good too! The server was very nice, helpful, and space is tiny but super cute. This is a great food option for a neighborhood with not too many freshly made options so we need to do our best to support it. read more

Pleasant employee, great prices, and the pastries are always fresh. They have a little area outside to sit and enjoy the scenery, while drinking a cup of tea. Always a positive experience when I go. read more

My fav bakery they have been making cakes for me for the last six year Friendly Quiet place to drink a nice cup of coffee and enjoy their amazing pastries outside when the weather permits read more

The only thing worst than the tasteless bakery products are the burn outs working here. I wouldn't let them wash my dog let alone touch something I would eat. Stop&Shop cakes are just as good and they take your order Todd read more

I ordered two cakes for my wedding. One a three tier wedding cake with a beach theme and the other a 8 inch carrot cake. They both were delicious and beautiful.

I've tried to order a custom cake three times in 18 months, based on the reviews. The first two times I tried to order 4-5 days in advance. Very reasonable. Was told "sorry we're booked and can't make your cake". Last week, I ordered 7 days in advance for my daughters 16th, not a huge cake, just to feed 12 or so. Told "sorry, we're booked. Can't make you a cake". I will NEVER step foot in this bakery. I will NEVER try to order a cake again. 7 days notice is enough to make a small cake. Grew too fast and forgot why they are where they are. I'll buy an Entemann's before I give these jerk offs $2 of my money. read more

My mom ordered a cake through them for my bridal shower this weekend-delicious and gorgeous. She said they were so easy to work with and truly captured the theme PERFECTLY! I'm very picky about cakes and it was amazing! We will be ordering pretty much everything through them moving forward-thank you for the sweet ending to my shower! read more

Fat Cardinal made our wedding cake and it was absolutely tremendous! Delicious flavor for the cake that matched exactly what we asked for, and the frosting was incredible. We sent them a picture of a design we liked and they matched it so well, it was beautiful. We got compliments all night about the cake's flavor and design, and we enjoyed the leftovers every night for a week after! read more

Look no further: if you need a delicious pastry, this is the place for you! If you need a custom cake to look like the Rainbow Road in Mario Kart, this is also the place for you! We went in, just two weeks before we needed the cake, described what we wanted, and with no problem, were off on our way-- not before grabbing a cheddar and bacon scone which was out of this world. Conversation from this point was done via e-mail, which is always greatly appreciated. The cake was delivered promptly at the time we needed it (which was at night at a local bar). EXCELLENT customer service and DELICIOUS cake. The cake was a big hit and truly impressive! read more

This little bakery is found in the back of Uncle Louie G's Italian Ice shop. I didn't know it was there until one of the Uncle Louie workers pointed it out. I'm glad they did. I tried a brownie and it was chocolaty, and moist, and really, really good. The guys working the counter (not sure if they're the owners or not) were also really friendly. I would definitely go back to try more of their desserts in the future. read more

When I saw there was a bakery near me with such a cute name I was intrigued. I drove by this place many times without a clue it's inside Uncle Louie's. The bakery is towards the back of the store which has a cute little country feel. They had a lot of nice choices but I got the molten chocolate chip cookie. It's a lot thicker than an average cookie but it was loaded with chocolate chips. There was chocolate in every bite and let me tell you it was delicious! I wish they had coffee to go with it but they didn't at the time. They also have my favorite- S'MORES but in a pie! I want to try that next time. read more

Delicious! Everything my family has bought or ordered from this bakery has not disappointed! The service is also impeccable. We will definitely be visiting often. read more
