I was in search of a sweet treat and decided to try Funny Face Bakery. Funny Face Bakery…read morespecializes in personalized cookies as well as classic flavors like chocolate chip, sprinkle, cookies and cream, and Crumbfetti. Since it was just me, I ordered the four-pack of mini cookies for $8.00 and a black and white cookie. The four-pack included chocolate chip, cookies and cream, sprinkle, and Crumbfetti. You can choose whichever flavors you want, so you can get all chocolate chip or mix and match from those available flavors. The chocolate chip cookie was my favorite! It was warm and delicious. I also love black and white cookies, and this one didn't disappoint. I especially enjoyed the chocolate side of the cookie. Overall, I would definitely order this combination again.

Must try: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate!…read more Why: Well dang, this place has been on my list for a while and I finally got to try and loved it. Truly thin, soft, and chewy! I had my doubts that a thin cookie could still be so soft and chewy packed with sweet deliciousness but they def proved me wrong. I got a box of 6 to try and I did love the originals the most: Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate. I also tried Snickerdoodle, White Chocolate Macadamia, Lemon Crumble, and KitKat. Snickerdoodle and KitKat didn't totally come through for me with their respective flavors but still good. I devoured the Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate and took a bite of all the other ones to taste. I ended up saving some for the next day and they were still soft and delicious! Notes: Small shop with one kiosk on right or you can order from cashier. I used the kiosk and cookies were ready in nearly a minute. They have a few high tables with chairs in front if you want to enjoy on the spot. I ended up taking mine to go so they gave me a bag for convenience. I like the box design that divides each cookie making it easy to grab and eat. The wall with all the messages was hilarious - some fun messages about their competition Crumbl that's across the street.

I saw a TikTok video about this spot and how good the cookies were. Unfortunately, to me, they are…read morenot worth the hype. From the look of the cookies I thought they would be crispy but they were soft... they tasted fine but not worth it for me. I ordered a half dozen - three chocolate chip, one double chocolate, one red/white/blue and a snickerdoodle. Service was alright, you order from a kiosk and then once your order is ready they just hand it to you- it was super fast.

Benji's joins the battle in the stiff cinnamon roll competition and I hadn't heard tooo much about…read moreit compared to other cinny roll spots popping up over the city so I wasn't sure what to expect. But wow. I really really enjoyed how soft, pillowy and chewy the dough was on these cinnamon rolls. We got the regular one with vanilla icing, the blueberry pancake one and the biscoff one and they were all pretty good but the vanilla icing one was where they truly shine. It is a cream cheese frosting so it's got a bit of that funk which is really enjoyable but their dough is something else. It's so airy, chewy, voluminous, it's literally like biting and then chewing through a cloud. I was chewing for a really long time unexpectedly and I really liked it. The blueberry pancake one got better the next day after all the components softened and became more homogeneous. The biscoff one was excellent too; if you like cookie butter from TJ's you'll LOVE this. I will say I think this place makes a better cinnamon roll than some of the more hyped places out there and is DEF worth a visit!

I was looking for something to eat for a quick breakfast and stumbled upon Benji's Buns. I love…read morecinnamon rolls so I went ahead and spent $11 on an original glazed cinnamon roll. The shop is small with a few chairs to sit and two tables, so it's more of a to-go shop. The employees behind the counter were really sweet. The rolls are huge, so for the price I think it's fair. First bite, I noticed that it tastes homemade (which ofc is a good thing). The bun itself kind of had like an oat flavor to it and the glaze wasn't too sweet either. I really liked it because it wasn't overly sweet like Cinnabon where you feel the sweetness linger in your mouth. Next time I'm in the area, I definitely want to try the more interesting/adventurous flavors.

This was my second time visiting the pastry box. My first…read morevisit was a pleasant experience, so I decided to come back. When I walked in, a tall male employee greeted me, which I appreciated. It's always nice to be welcomed. Before I chose what to order, I first asked if I were to get a cinnamon bun would I have the option to get it warmed up. The employee said no.That honestly surprised me because I've never been to a bakery that won't warm up a cinnamon bun or other pastries. The cinnamon bun looked extremely dry like it's been sitting there for long hours and just needed a little warm up to look ooey gooey again. A warm pastry makes a big difference, and it might be something worth considering offering in the future. Since I didn't get a chance to really look at the pastries during my first visit because I was with my child and we were in a rush that day, I took about a minute to browse the display this time literally 1 min or 2 mins the most. The shop was completely empty, so there wasn't anyone waiting behind me. While I was looking, the employee just stood there the entire time silently. Not once did he offer a recommendation, mention what was popular, or try to make conversation. Instead, when I finally decided on a large chocolate chip cookie, he gave me a look that made me feel uncomfortable. It came across as if he was thinking, "Wow, you took that long just to choose a cookie?" That's genuinely how his expression looked. It made me feel judged and rushed over something that should have been a relaxed experience. I've worked in the restaurant industry for 5 years, so I know customer service can make or break someone's experience. Even on days when conversation didn't come naturally, it was still part of the job to engage with customers, make them feel comfortable, answer questions, offer recommendations, and break the ice. Or even just asking how the persons day is going. Those small interactions go a long way in creating a welcoming atmosphere. Customers shouldn't feel judged for taking a moment to decide what they want, especially if I'm going to spend my money there, If anything, that's the perfect opportunity to connect with customers, and make them feel welcome. I hope the bakery considers encouraging employees to be more engaging and personable, because positive customer interactions are a big part of what brings people back. Unfortunately, this visit completely changed my impression of the bakery. I won't be returning because I didn't feel comfortable with the atmosphere. For reference, the visit took place on July 17, 2026, at approximately 5:25 p.m., in case this feedback helps identify the interaction I'm referring to.

The staff was not necessarily "inviting" but they did answer all the questions I had politely~…read moreeveryone seemed pretty busy even well into the afternoon and the cookie definitely seemed to be the star of the show . Not sure if it was a fresh batch but there was a full tray of warm cookies and I had a nice bite. The cookie is crispy on the bottom and chewy on the top, relatively thin all throughout and very decent sized. The flavor is not bad, buttery. Not the best cookie in nyc in my opinion (I'm spoiled and biased to Orwashers right now-- can't beat that browned butter flavor they have) but it's worthy for everyone to try! Personally the highlight of the cookie for me was the texture itself, pretty addicting and highly enjoyable. I would say it's worth trying for all who are curious and consider themselves a chocolate chip cookie fanatic. I also grabbed some other pastries like the Buddha hand loaf (matcha loaf with strawberry buttercream) and the yuzu olive oil cake. I liked the yuzu olive oil, the matcha loaf was a slight bit dry but the strawberry buttercream was AMAZING. Would buy that buttercream alone if I could. The spot is really small with just a few seats so don't expect to sit with a big group!

In June I was so excited to see Strawberry Shortcake back on their menu. I missed it last year…read more Unfortunately it was too soggy for me and just tasted like a mouth filled with jelly, soggy dough.

It was decadent, had great texture and great strawberry flavor. - Their midnight banana bread was also delicious, with a subtle banana flavor coming through and pairing very nicely with the rich chocolate flavor. - The corn Oreo was a very interesting rendition of the classic treat and honestly worked pretty well. When I went, there was no line since they had just opened and the service moved efficiently through their small store. While there is no room inside to eat, there is a park nearby where you can grab a seat and enjoy their delicious baked goods.

I went for the first time today, but since I was planning on walking home before trying the pastries (there is no seating at the bakery), and since it was a fairly warm day, I thought it might melt by the time I got home, so I ended up getting some smaller, more compact treats. Brown Butter Blondie: Personally, I didn't need the walnuts, but the texture and flavor of this were excellent -- it's gooey and chewy and tastes of rich brown butter / butterscotch. Choco-toffee cookies: This cookie sits squarely at the top of some NYC chocolate chip cookie rankings, so the expectations were high. I thought it was very good, but it doesn't quite top my personal list. The best parts are the crunchy exterior, which has a slightly over-baked, crisp flavor, along with the light dusting of salt flakes on top. The middle is more doughy but mostly consists of medium-dark chocolate chunks. I didn't really taste the toffee, which was too bad, because I love toffee. Malty lime bar: A key lime pie in bar form, this is a next-level pastry. The lime 'custard' is thick and creamy, and perfectly tart, with just enough sweetness to add balance. The graham cracker crust is buttery and lightly salty, and the sugary zest sprinkled on top makes it pretty and grounds the flavor a bit. I was here on a Saturday around noon and waited in line for about 5-7 minutes. Not bad at all!
