We have been to the bake shop at least 6'times now after discovering it about 2 months ago. I desperately want to love the place but we have determined the only thing we like here are the breakfast biscuits. They are amazing... crushes! Crisp, delicate, creamy, savory... big enough to share!!!!!! They also make some killer coffee beverages! I won't say anything negative but the rest is just not for us... not fans of much or anything else and we have purposely had different things each time to explore the menu. Our palates are not aligned and that's fine - more and bigger is not always better. Cute inside and beyond welcoming staff.... Love the biscuits!!!!!! read more

A tale of two trips (with some pie in the middle) creates this review of Hometown Bakeshop. You see I completely forgot to write this place up back in July and after visiting them only a few days ago (for a different reason), I realized a review needed to be penned. A four star compilation with mostly positive things to say. Let's get baking. Well, that summer trip actually involved breakfast. My wife and I trekked over to Centerport (on her birthday actually), for a quaint breakfast inside this small bake shop. The menu and its enticing Insta pics really brought us here and so we got both coffee and a morning meal. That aforementioned menu is quite vast and with so much to choose from, we decided to split "The Famished Breakfast" which included all kinds of tasty options (eggs, bacon, pancakes, fried cheese, tostones, and more). To nitpick, some items listed and some that we got weren't exactly the same, but to also be fair, everything was delicious. Equally delicious might be their variety of savory pies. They have so many to choose from, but you have to either call ahead or be lucky with what they have. Two made their way home with us (the piggy mac and the chopped cheese) which were consumed shortly after our visit with both being dense and rich, but definitely tasty. Not as equally delicious might be their coffee. Yeah, I think I've turned into a bit of a snob as these days I'm looking for legitimacy in the coffee itself and not just some pretty pics and cool flavors. Though Hometown has quite a variety of options, I'd say that if you're looking for some strong coffee, this wouldn't be the spot. If you're looking for some great breakfast and crullers, well... And therein lies our most recent trip: crullers. Hometown doles out a plethora of cruller options, but only on Sundays. Get there early (like pre-opening by 15-20 minutes at least) to be sure you snag whichever flavors they're going to have (check Instagram). Knowing we were going to share with a bunch of other people, we chose a dozen to try, but heed my words, these things are gargantuan! Also, they won't last long in preserving so if you have any leftovers, don't expect them to be good past the day you bought them. But in the moment while they're fresh, you'll be in cruller heaven after one bite (especially if you try the death by chocolate one). Overall, hometown Bakeshop is a legitimate place for everything they concoct in an oven (throw in stovetop too). Yeah perhaps their coffee sounds better than it tastes, but that might just be me wanting something a little more coffee forward. Beyond that discrepancy, I'd gladly return to Hometown for breakfast, pies, crullers, or who knows what else? Come and get some! read more

Great pastry/ baked goods cafe. Small place with small awkward parking lot. Staff are friendly and answer questions. They have a. Pretty extensive menu , with lunch and breakfast items as well. But come early if you have something specific you want. They have lots of things but bake just enough for a day so they often are out of things. This is so everything is fresh. Like we got the last chocolate babka, and they didn't have the birthday cake scone with cream cheese frosting or pumpkin muffin. We came for brunch and they had a lot. Another time, an hour before closing they are out of almost everything. So keep in mind. I think you can call ahead and order . They won't give you just a cup of water, you MUST buy a bottle of water, a little annoying when you spend a lot of money, but oh well. Great food. read more

The options here are endless!! Small and tight parking lot so be careful. I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant so VERY tight for me. The service is very very good. I had a million questions since it was my first time. They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch items to choose from. I ordered an apple crumb pie and an eggplant burrata pie. They don't have apple crumb on the menu so make sure you ask... they only have apple on the menu. I initially wanted the sweet potatoes pie and the s'mores but they didn't have either :( I guess that's why they take call ahead. Good to know for next time. The ambiance inside and outside is very cute. Patio outside and countless tables inside. Lots of beautiful flowers outside too. Wide variety of ice cream, coffeee drinks, muffins, sweet pies, and regular pies. A L O T to choose from! Pricey though, one pie was $25 the other was $35 and the $15 lunch special of a sandwhich, drink and a side cake to $76 read more

Great find and will be returning to sample more soon. Particularly looking to try some pies when I have more room in my stomach. I tried two breakfast items: the hometown madame and the savory dutch. Both were balanced and had good flavors. The savory dutch is a tad lighter and was generally better for me for a breakfast item, but both were tasty. I did try a pistachio crueller latte but it was pretty weak on the pistachio flavor and I'm unsure what the crueller part of the name meant. Would pass on the lattes. It's a pretty bustling spot. Line is a tad confusing. Goes from the displays towards the counter rather than from the direction of the door. I wish the staff cleaned tables between users but it's kind of a self serve establishment. There is parking in both the front and the back of the building. read more

Such a cute spot! Everyone working there was really nice and took their time to explain. My bf and I came here for breakfast, we both got the hometown burrito and omg was it amazing. We loved how fresh everything tasted especially the tortilla. It was so big I couldn't finish the whole thing. I also got the birthday cake iced latte and it was delicious, I loved the garnishing on the cup. Would love to come back and try their pies! read more

This is a cute little shop in the tightest shopping center. They have limited parking. But once you get a spot, they have cute indoor and outdoor seating. The staff works quick. Inside is very small. They have pastries, sandwiches, soups and coffees. They have a beautiful spread of bars, such as the pumpkin bars, cheesecake (which I ordered), berry, blondie. They have doughnuts, they have this strawberry glazed one with a strawberry on top. Many types of pot pies/Shepards pies. If you like the classic chicken pot pie or even a brisket one that looked amazing. The muffins looked so beautiful and fresh. They had a case of soup and kept making more, looked so delishious. I ordered a veggie bomb, it was so good! It has a tomato on top underneath was pesto sauce. Inside it has some squash which was amazing. I loved it. As for the cheesecake and pumpkin bars, they were so good! Not too sweet. I cannot wait to go back and try more stuff! read more

This place is a local gem. It's small, but they have several tables, and you can dine in for breakfast and lunch. When the weather is nice, they also have a small outdoor seating area. Their freshly baked goods are amazing. I've never seen a bakery with such a wide variety of pies like this one. Both the sweet and savory pies are excellent. My family enjoys buying the savory pies for dinner, and we're thinking about getting some for our Thanksgiving gathering. We ate in for the first time as a family today. The last time I came here with a friend, I saw a woman eating a pancake served in a skillet and asked what it was. She told me it was a Dutch pancake. So today, I ordered it. It was called a "Dutch Baby"--a sweet pancake, although there's a savory version too. The staff asked if I wanted the sweet or savory one, and I chose sweet. It takes a bit longer to prepare a Dutch Baby than other menu items, but it was worth the wait. The pancake was fluffy and light. It wasn't very sweet on its own, but the raspberry jam and maple syrup added just the right amount of sweetness. It also came topped with butter, whipped cream, and fresh berries. It was delicious, and I'm so glad I ordered it. I'll definitely go back for the Dutch Baby--I want to try the savory version next time. Also, I've been thinking about trying different kinds of savory pies. It'll take a while to try them all because there are so many options! I feel so lucky to have this charming bakery in my neighborhood. read more

Small bake shop located in the heart of Centerport. It's hit or miss if you find a place to sit because the line is usually out the door, especially on the weekends! They have some great breakfast deals. Their biscuits are absolutely delicious! A friend bought a chocolate cake from them and everyone loved it as well. read more

Hometown Bakeshop - Cheddar biscuit with eggs, sausage and cheese. - Bakeries Near Me - Centerport, New York

Great little food spot and bakery I've been coming to for years. The items all have that homemade quality but are professionally concocted, they offer many unique savory pies and specialty items. The donuts are to die for. Like any good bakery items sell out quickly so you need to get there early. If you are dining in seating is limited and parking while ample can be tight so know all this before finding a reason to complain. Some of the employees can sometimes seem confused, not sure why but it seems to happen when placing orders which is done at the counter where you order and pay, the food and baked items make it all worth a trip from anywhere. read more

Haven't had anything I didn't like from Hometown Bakeshop. Pies, savory and sweet (must try) breakfast burritos with the homemade flatbread (delicious) Scones (Birthday, my favorite). The savory or sweet dutch baby.. YES!! Just go you won't be disappointed Hardworking staff, can get crowded on the weekends but all worth it!! read more

Hometown Bakeshop - Birthday and Biscoff Scones - Bakeries Near Me - Centerport, New York

This place is the sweetest, best little place. I can't believe it took me this long to try it! I ordered the lemon cream meringue pie which is to die for. You have to order it in advance, which is super easy to do online. Their website is great. The other pie I've had is the white chocolate raspberry pie. It is amazing, truly one of the best I've ever had. That they had in stock and I bought on a whim when picking up my online order. The place is a small, with a few tables inside. Each time I go in there's a few people eating lunch, and a line. Go early in the morning, if you want the best selection! Everything is fresh so when it's gone, it's gone. My next step is coming back for one of the savory pies! read more

The food was incredible and large portions. The drinks were amazing I added an extra scoop of matcha and the chai was perfect defintley strong notes of cinnamon. The service was quick and efficient, even with a line it never felt hectic. We sat outside to enjoy our meal and it was a beautiful day outside I have to give this place a 10/10. read more

Burnt butter and salt pie, to know it is to love it. Also try their savory pies. Really can't go wrong with anything here.

I will not be spending another penny here again. I had a very disappointing experience due to a mistake made by the staff. Part of my order was forgotten, and when I brought it to their attention, I simply asked if they could make it. Instead of resolving the issue promptly, the manager told me they had "47 tickets" in the back and that I would have to wait 30 minutes for the missing item--despite it being their error. This response was frustrating and unacceptable. What made the situation worse was the manager's attitude. The way she communicated lacked professionalism and basic customer service. When a business makes a mistake, the least they can do is handle it respectfully and efficiently. read more

we waited over 30 minutes for our egg sandwiches only for them not to have bacon on both. we paid extra for the bacon too. super disappointed read more

The cinnamon roll was ginormous it was so delicious and was more than enough for two people. I ordered an omelet with a garlic whip sauce. I really liked the flavor of the garlic sauce but I could've done with less. The portion was good and there were lots of options for breakfast foods and for pastries. There are a good amount of seats if you want to sit down and eat there. read more

Not the average bake shop more like grandma did the baking!!!! Love this place! ( I drive in from Medford) ! Worth the trip! read more

Finally got up early enough to get some Sunday crullers. These things are massive and very dense since they are also filled with cream inside...if you think you need a dozen, no, you don't. Honey glaze, chocolate, strawberry shortcake, banana cream, all delicious although I could only have a bite (and I have a huge sweet tooth so that's how you know these things are sickeningly sweet) Haven't been impressed by other products here...scones and muffins are dry and bland. Brownie felt like a big slab of fudge. Egg sandwiches are doused in butter. It's always either way too crowded or they don't have any food left. Crullers worth it if you get there early enough. Otherwise, meh, overrated read more

Hometown Bakeshop - Bakeries Near Me - Centerport, New York

Such an anxiety provoking environment. The line, is before the menu or the case of options. You can't see anything you want to order and you don't know what they have and dont have. On a Sunday, a little before 1pm they were already out of their advertised crueler donuts that I came for. I ended up getting a donut just with some sugar on it, a pistachio crueler iced latte and a bacon egg and cheese on focaccia. There are so many tables in such a little space, like 20 when there should be 10. The line of people is literally on top of all the tables and everyone standing waiting is leaning on them. If you sit closer to the to the entrance door, it's even worse and suffocating. You could hardly squeeze through between the tables to get to the pick up section. Slow to prep the food and drinks, I understand the breakfast sandwich but the drink took forever. I spilled some of it trying to get back to where we were sitting. They put only like 2 ice cubes so the drink was warm quickly. While the sandwich was pretty good, I'd def never plan on eating or drinking inside here. Wish they would figure out some way for crowd control, like have the line half wait outside the cafe and then call people in when there is space. I would only do take out and try to see if they do call aheads. A good breakfast sandwich doesn't isn't worth being packed like sardines and eating like that too. read more

Hate to recommend their chicken pot pie because we are usually too late to buy one . Best Pot Pie...even better than homemade

Yelp should start using a zero-star rating. In an attempt to explain my issue with an order, the owner was disrespectful, abrupt, and graceless. Have you ever gone to your car dealership for a repair, and been told NO ONE has ever had this problem, and their cars are the best and favorites, AND it must have been something YOU DID? No? Of course not, because that would be poor customer service. Hope you never have a problem with this bakery's order, because this is how you will be treated. read more

Hometown Bakeshop - This Fried Chicken & Biscuit was SO delicious. Just look at the amount of chicken they put! - Bakeries Near Me - Centerport, New York

Lovely food, but very hectic. It may seem harsh to drop a 2/5 rating for a location with great food, but I attribute this to the hectic, claustrophobic and anxiety inducing atmosphere. What was once a special pleasure for my partner and I has turned into a negative experience where it's just not worth it anymore. I can get past the mayhem of trying to park in the undersized and packed parking lot, but the internal operation needs love from several angles - from speed of service to the seating experience. Either the seating area needs to expand into the vacant area next door or the seating should be removed entirely for a pick-up/ take-out operation or bar-height perimeter seating to allow for better flow. In many ways this bakery is trying to take on being a bakery and a brunch spot, which might be possible but not with the current configuration. On Saturday mornings especially it is overwhelming to come here, even as we have adjust our schedule to arrive earlier it seems as other have done so as well. The space gets jam packed with folks sitting down and even more so attempting to do take-out. I wish the bakery continued success, but the experience just isn't worth it for me with the claustrophobic atmosphere. For pies, I recommend the amazing eggplant burrata and short rib. For sit down foods - the hometown breakfast, the raspberry jam and bread are amazing.. I wish they sold the bread! For grab and go, they have an awesome two-for-twenty deal that includes 2 sandwiches, 2 iced/hot coffee, and 2 donuts or 1 cinnamon roll. For picky little ones, the plain bagel bomb is quite good (warmed up is best). I Don't recommend the BEC bomb at all sadly (very underwhelming experiencd). The grab & go 2-for-20 option was my last meal to enjoy here, unless something changes with the seating experience I don't anticipate coming back except for a pie to go. read more

The donut scene can be very competitive on long island and hometown just took first place I'm blown away at how delicious, huge and soft their donuts were. my husband was obsessed with all of them we genuinely couldn't choose so as a group we picked several of them and cut them all in to shareable pieces! 10/10! NOFODOCOs top competition read more

Rude staff. Manager was super nasty. The messed up our order (forgot to make some of it) told us we had to wait 30 min for them to get through the other 47 orders ahead of us when we were before then to begin with. Also the pies and muffins are super dry. Food always sucked but this is lasts straw. read more

Amazing pies, especially apple, Banana crème and coconut. S'mores bars are delicious. Cinnamon buns are the best.

Ordered two pies. Short Rib and a Chicken Pie. The instructions given for the Short Rib pie were 320 for 20 minutes. 2 and 1/2 hours later, in a wolf convection oven the pie was luke warm inside. Called and spoke with the owner who was beyond rude. She would not let me explain why I was dissatisfied, instead she talked over me rapidly in a loud tone. I spoke to the manager a week prior who told me the cooking instructions that I was given were incorrect. The owner upon hearing this told me she works for me and does not know the cooking instruction for their pies. I spent over $80.00 for 2 pies. The Chicken pie when served had absolutely no chicken in 2 of the slices. It was all potato. The owner scoffed and laughed when I told her this. I do not believe I have ever been treated so rudely by an owner of an establishment. From the reviews I have read here I see that I am not the only DISSATISFIED customer. Do not bother going there! read more

Enjoy the custom egg sandwich option. Your choice of bread, egg preparation, vegetable, cheese, and condiment. I tried cheddar biscuit with over easy egg, pull pork, caramelized onions, white cheddar and smoked aioli. It was excellent ($7.50). Also worth trying are the savory pies. A detailed description of each can be found on the bake shop website, and with at least 48 hours notice you can schedule a specific pie to be available. This time we enjoyed Piggy Mac (pulled pork topped with Mac and cheese) and Bubbe (brisket topped with potato latkes). Each had simple heating instructions attached to the box lid. read more

Disclaimer: I went against the grain during my visit and picked up a lemon scone. It wasn't bad. Buttery and had a nice sugar-lemon glaze on top. But I wish it just had more lemon flavor to it. Even with a bit of lemon zest in the dough, once the frosted layer was finished, all you were left with was a plain scone. The lemon on top too, was an actual sliced lemon (so please don't eat that unless you're ready to pucker up). Ill be honest, I wasn't really impressed with my offering. But, I think I may have to come back to try their more popular fare to give them a second chance! read more

I came to this place after seeing it on TikTok and Instagram. The Instagram has many followers so I thought must be popular but the photos they post glorify it. This place is kind of a hole in the wall. Extremely small. Parking lot small. Came here just before 3pm they no longer serving food. I ordered the birthday cake latte after seeing it on the Instagram. I'd say 6/10. Didn't taste a lot like birthday cake not that good. My friend got banana foster latte, he said it was okay. The appearance of the lattes were very appealing the taste not so much. The service was awful!! 4 young boys who seemed to give no care in the world. I asked what the banana foster latte was and was blatantly ignored... my friend ordered a biscuit. He waited 15 minutes for it, got nothing. Had to ask again for the biscuit, they completely forgot about it and ended up giving him the wrong one! Overall extremely disappointed and would not come back here. read more

However, this is the only coffee spot that I have been to that had a variety of dairy and non-dairy creamer/sweetener options for the customers to use as they desired. I wish more places had these options available. I was able to enjoy a flavored coffee without the need to get a specialized latte. read more

Awful Experience -- Rude, Unaccommodating Management This was my second time at Hometown Bake Shop in Centerport, and both visits have been terrible. The first time, the wait for food was ridiculous. But today truly sealed the deal -- I'll never be back. I'm eight months pregnant and had just driven an hour home from a funeral. I stopped in because it's close to my daughter's school and I just wanted something simple -- a buttered roll or piece of bread. Nothing fancy, nothing unreasonable. The worker at the counter was very kind and clearly uncomfortable, but she explained that she wasn't allowed to sell me a roll because of the owner's "rules." Apparently, they "didn't have enough" -- whatever that's supposed to mean. They would have served me one if I ordered a sandwich- I think. Let me be clear: the employee was doing her best and was polite. The problem is the owner or whoever makes the decisions there -- someone who clearly doesn't understand customer service or basic decency. Refusing a paying customer a simple buttered roll, especially under the circumstances, is absurd and downright bad business. I won't be returning, no matter how convenient the location is. It's run by someone who's unaccommodating, inflexible, and out of touch with what it means to treat people kindly. I'll gladly take my business -- and recommend others do the same -- to any of the far better establishments nearby. read more

An unbelievable bakery... being gluten free I rarely get to eat muffins or bake goods. I was taken to this bakery and now I'm in bakery heaven. They don't offer a lot of gluten free muffins - the Harvest muffin and Flourless Chocolate mini cakes are available almost everyday. The good news is that with 48 hr preorder you can get most items. I only wish they had a system for shipping to Pittsburgh, PA. Love this place read more

Cute little shop and the kids behind the counter are great but not really delivering the hometown egg sandwich experience i hoped for lol. Egg sandwiches but no rolls is crazy to me! Otherwise the sandwich was fine. Clearly made with care just not the way I like. I like a roll because it's dry and soft and doesn't add any fat to an otherwise heavy sandwich, but the english muffin i ordered it on instead came out like a butter-toasted texas toast. Everything behind the counter looked great, and I don't rate family businesses below 5 stars. read more
