    A beautiful bakery with a cafe. Got to meet and chat with the owner. Trying to get her to Brooklyn.

    Out in Harlem on a lovely rainy day and stopped in to explore. So happy we did. My daughter got a slice of red and white which is a layer of red velvet and a layer of vanilla. It was delicious. The service was great and there is a cafe attached that has coffee beans you won't find everywhere else. When the weather permits, you can enjoy your goodies at the tables outside.

    They're an easy Four Stars once you eat their cookies! Make My Cake has the best selection of cakes that you can purchase by the slice. The price keeps going up but it's definitely worth it. I have to get mine too take home. My daughter gets hers to go too. It's a rare treat I'm sad to say. I love the cookies the best because I can eat the cookie on the way home. The bag was so cute I saved it!! We have a location closer to home. I definitely stop in for something special no matter which location I'm near. Customer Service is always tops!

    Cupcakes. I was very excited to get these cuk cakes. They looked delish. When I got home make some coffee and was ready to go. When I took a bit they were dense and dry. Not sure if I had a bad batch or they are just dense and dry. Totally disappointed . I also got a peach cobbler, it was more pie then cobbler. It was ok, nothing to brag about. It was missing something, like lemon zest. It wasn't balanced at all. Oh well. Red Velvet Cupcake Lemon Butter Cupcake Double Chocolate cupcake Chocolate Butter Cupcake

    If I take a trip down memory lane, Make My Cake's design really got a hold on me. My twin sister and I had just finished having tea at Serengeti after a long exercise session over on the East side. Backdrop is cute with Pinks and Browns. Shelves are stacked with old-fashioned knick-knacks. Glass shelves and pastry stands full of Sweets. Display looked decent and decided on keeping it simple with a cookie each. Taste was o...k- but really- nothing off the wall. It was a nice little trip. And Make My Cake has a cute style going on......but it's not as good as I thought it would be.

    I have gotten several items including the Red Velvet cake, cupcakes, and the key lime pie. This week we had the double chocolate cake and it was a huge hit. A guest even texted me about it afterwards. Highly recommend.

    So I went back today and got the half red velvet, half buttercream cake and it was PERFECT. It has buttercream and cream cheese frosting. I definitely rescind my comment about flavors not being unique, this was so simple yet so brilliant. Once again I had really excellent customer service and the people were extremely kind and helpful. I would love it if they had a cake rewards program

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

    Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

    What a delightful surprise! After working late and attending an event after work, one of my…read morecoworkers suggested we stop here because they loved their cookies. I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
