I was recommended to this bakery from a friend because they make vegan pastries. I needed a vegan cake for a friends birthday, and was not expecting the high cost $94 for a simple design, when I arrived to pick it up it's a great cake but I had to send it back in because it was missing the ring on the bottom and I requested the cake to have white flowers not yellow and they made them yellow anyway. It was suppose to look like the welcome home cake from the coraline movie, I took it as it was but I had to make sure they at least put the ring on the cake for me. read more

I came here yesterday mid day to pick up some bday treats for my husband. He was excited to see I got a box of 7 layer cookies because they're his favorite, but he could have broke his tooth on how hard they were. Days, if not WEEKS old stale. I could not even break these cookies apart with my hands. What an embarrassment. I've absolutely never experienced this from a bakery before. (You can see how dry and stale they are in the photos. Can't even deny it.) read more

Mark's Bake Shop is tucked away in a small plaza on Richmond Rd. We have seen this shop in a few blogs with good reviews and I had to see for myself. It's super cute when walking in, it was packed with tons of different baked goods. If you want to stay and have your dessert there, they have a few tables in the middle to sit. They have pies, cookies, cakes, cannolis, coffee, breads. There is just so much to choose from. We looked around and settled on some minis that were in one of the cases. It didn't have a tag and we thought they were cheesecake and didn't find out until after she put them in the box. We asked like three times. We also got a cookie, a Nutella pretzel cookie. The baked goods are reasonably priced. The minis we got were strawberry shortcake, carrot cake, Carmel chocolate, chocolate with pecan, red velvet, 7layer, marble with cannoli and cannolis. I will start with the Nutella pretzel cookie. It was messy, super hard to eat and I thought I was gonna crack my tooth. I wouldn't get this again. The cannolis were still crunchy. the cream tasted like it was ricotta mixed with butter cream. They were good but different. I enjoyed the carrot cake. It was moist and tasty. Shortcake was the same. Chocolate cakes were a little dry and sweet, same with the 7 layer. Red velvet was little sweet. The marble was good same with the cannoli cream. Overall, MBS is a good alternative to your usual shop. There was some hits and misses here but I would def give it another shot. Parking in lot, also street parking (355) read more

I went here frantically looking for carrot cake for a loved one's birthday. Remarkably bear carrot cake bites did the job perfectly. They were just the right amount of sweet and moist. Often with carrot cake, inferior places will mask lousy product with the cream cheese topping, not this place. It was wonderful. We got other cake bites too and they were all perfect. I'll be back. read more

Ordered for a 2nd time. Got a funfetti cake. $28 Can order online - so easy Added instructions for writing on cake and they did just what I asked Everyone is still masked - thanks for taking care of yourselves and your community The cake is really good and generously filled and topped w like cake pop bites on top. It's really sweet but that's funfetti. I wish the cake was a tiny bit moister but overall a great cake from a great bakery FYI parking lot is a little tight read more

Mark makes the most awesome donuts that might compare to Voodoo Donuts. And the entire check came to $27.50 for five donuts: s'mores Nutella, Boston Cream, Peanut Butter and Jelly,, Maple Bacon and French Crueler AND a chocolate cake that says "Happy Birthday" no extra charge. I contemplated getting a cake at Lady M for $100 but then they wanted $5 to write happy birthday on the cake. Ridiculous. That turned me off of Lady M so much!!!! Mark's bakery does not charge anything to write happy birthday on the cake, plus they appreciate my business a lot more. Just say no to rip offs. Support small businesses. read more

My brother in law raves about this place and I came out of my way to come here on 4th of July to bring a cake to a BBQ. So glad I did! First, they were open on 4th of July, so I find their hours convenient. The parking lot was spacious. Upon entering, we were offered samples of Potato Chip and Chocolate chip cookies. Not a typo - Potato. Chip. Cookie. Pretty interesting concept and a fun idea if you need a treat or are bringing cookies to someone. Yes sometimes you NEED a cookie. No judgements, big is beautiful. The salted caramel chocolate cake was the real star. Moist, unique and flavorful. You can get 6 generous sized piece from this cake or 8 skinny person pieces or 4 my kind of pieces. Either way, I was very impressed with how delicious it was. Only $16 - I've paid much more at other bakeries for cakes I could not even eat. I could tell everything was freshly made. Great customer service was very friendly and professional. We'll surely be back for these excellent baked goods at very reasonable prices. read more

Had a Nutella s'mores donut for the first time Phenomenal! Very friendly workers all fresh delicious desserts!

Good cake,just wish the outer rainbow cookies were moist and not dry. Could be the holiday rush orders affected this as they did have several orders lined up. Will give this business another try soon. read more

Everything I've ever eaten here is absolutely amazing! My only complaint is that I left a $600.00 deposit on a cake, and the girl at the counter charged me for a cup of coffee . I actually had to charge it because I gave her all my cash. I thought that was a little petty. read more

I requested a Peanut Butter Cake-- the day before the birthday event. I requested specific coloring, such as writing on the cake. They followed it. I have no clue how it turned out. That day, I picked it up; I was SO GLAD. It was so marvelous, and it made my day as bright as it was for the people I invited for the birthday. I am glad I found this place. On top of that, the person (a friendly young woman with no name tag) was so pleasant when we talked about the store. I recommend anyone who has had difficulty finding a good bakery visit this place! read more

This post asks what could improve. Everything!!!! We got a custom cake for my husband's 50th and it was horrible, sorry Not SORRY !!!! We spoke to a beautiful girl named Rosanna she took the order we wanted chocolate cake with raspberry filling and chocolate mousse icing.. Well for starters we picked up the cake seen it for a split second before a different girl that day of pick up boxed it. We brought it home and Went out to dinner came home with my family and friends to have the cake we took it out of the box the icing was all cracked on the sides then after singing and cutting into the cake the cake was dry and tasted like boxed cake the icing was butter cream and not mousse and there WAS NOOOOO RASPBERRY FILLING !!!!! which was even more disheartening to top it off it said on the receipt no returns or exchanges what kinda BS is that if something isn't right a business should rectify it. So this is why I'm putting Mark's bake Shop on Blast he ruined my husband's 50th birthday,with a cheap cake read more

Great food and the staff was helpful in their input on what to try. The little carrot cake was very good! Great pick.

Mark? Should I even call you Mark? I feel like we are hardly on the first name level. I don't see us getting there anytime soon. I came in and tried a cake. The girl at the counter said they are made fresh daily. Mark, the cake was clearly not made that day. The frosting was rock hard and the cake was crumbly, dry. For almost $30, skip it and go to a bakery that bakes their items fresh every day and actually does it. read more

I want to start by saying this wasn't my first bad experience.. I had my sister get 2 cakes for Christmas Eve, both were stale and tasteless. The confetti cake was the worst dessert at Christmas Eve! The rainbow cookie cake was tasteless and the edges were so hard you couldn't chew on them. Last time buying from here I don't care how close it is to my house! read more

My husband and I decided to order a cross cake from Mark's Bake Shoppe for our daughter's baptism. You can order the cake directly from the website but my husband called to ensure we get what we were looking for. The cake was absolutely beautiful but it was half stale. My husband and I had very hard pieces, some of our guests had fresh pieces and the others had a mix. We were very disheartened since the cake was beautiful and we paid a decent price for it. When my husband informed the bakery the following day, the bakery said they make cakes fresh weekly for the weekend and to bring in the cake. That clearly was not possible since the event was the day prior. Not sure what that would do. read more

In the past, I have bought my family's birthday cakes at Mark's.with problem at all. They all have been delicious This time around we ordered a custom cake for my daughter's birthday. My spouse went to pick it up. He took a picture of it and texted it to me to make sure this was the cake I ordered. After singing Happy Birthday to my daughter, I started to cut the cake. I was having a hard time cutting the cake. It was hard. When we started eating it was so dry. I was very disappointed and upset because I paid a lot of money for this cake. I was looking forward to eating this cake. I do not think I am going back to Mark's again. Now in search of another bakery. Lisa, SI read more

FABULOUS! Whether you live in the area or not, you owe it to yourself to visit this truly gourmet bakery. Glazed jelly donut and the carrot cake are so delicious, they should be illegal.

Not impressed - girlfriend stated it's an amazing place. Best carrot cake & cheesecake -purchased the cheesecake and it was basic & also expensive - went back and they had a delicious cheese danish. It has a pinch of cinnamon in it. - did I mention that they are lil overpriced? read more

I Love Mark's bake shop. Everything always fresh! They have unique bakery options. Staff is always very nice and respectful! If i can offer a word of advice. Mothers Day brunch $ 40 a person, seems a bit high for eating on plastic plates, cups, knives and forks. I hardly was able to cut my breakfast. Mind you everything was tasty and staff were friendly. But a little extra pampering for the Mom's is needed. They did give the Mom a card with offer for cup of coffee and free pastry. read more

Came here to pick up some desserts for Easter after reading all the wonderful reviews. We opted for the German chocolate cake and a raspberry almond danish. The chocolate cake was phenomenal! Everyone loved it! I'm not a huge fan of chocolate but I am now a fan of this cake. It was incredible. I wish I'd known about Marks sooner! I didn't have the danish, but the guests who did said it was very good. We also tried the maple bacon donut while we were at the shoppe, and omg that alone will keep anyone coming back!!!! read more

was given 0.73lbs of cookies for the price of 1lb. i glanced away when the scale said 0.73 and thought i would get charged less. then when i didn't i thought they had put more in after i turned away to pay while the girl was sealing the box. i checked when i got home to make sure and sure enough it was 0.83lb including the box and tape. horrible! stealing from customers is an actual thing read more

My favorite place for Jelly donuts, stopped in yesterday and they were out of cinnamon sugar jelly, had other selections. Mark had overheard the conversation and asked me how many I wanted, and could I wait a few minutes. He came out a few minutes later, with just made-still warm donuts for me. I can't say thank you enough. I also bought some carrot cake cupcakes which are excellent. Many thanks and compliments read more

I am new to Staten Island. I wanted a good pie for Thanksgiving so I decided to give Mark's Bake Shoppe a try. First, the shoppe is very cute. It is small, but appears extremely clean and the sweets look delicious. We ordered a few rainbow cooks and a crumb apple pie. The servers were a couple of young girls who were very nice and attentive. One of them even gave us a couple of free donuts since it was late in the day. As to the pie, it was delicious, just like I like them. It was had a coffee cake top with apples in it. It had a lot of tender apple pieces in it and it was perfectly sweetened, but not too sweet. The crust was buttery. It was a solid delicious apple pie. I would definitely get it again. read more

I called ahead last minute to see if they had a ready made German chocolate cake. They said yes. I came in about an hour later to pick it up. The girl at the counter asked what kind of cake and filling I wanted which was odd. She came out about 10 minutes later. I paid about $20 for the Cake. We ate it within the hour. The chocolate layers were beyond stale, the frosting looked like German chocolate frosting but it sure didn't taste like it. No coconut or Carmel-y flavor could be found, just sugary sweet. No one ate it after a bite or two and I had to toss the entire thing. Quickly whipped up brownies and stuck a birthday candle to serve guests. I won't return for more stale products. read more
