Updating my review from 2 years ago - I decided to give Layers another try and bought two different…read moreflavors of "brownies" and 2 pints of ice cream. To start, they "brownies" are not actual brownies. They are individual slices of cake. I didn't notice this 2 years ago but having it again last night, the Cadbury brownie tastes like a layered sheet cake made from box mix. The frosting on top wasn't too sweet, but certainly doesn't carry the richness of Cadbury chocolate. In a slice this simple, there's really no place to hide and paying that much for something that taste like it was battered out a box is not worth it in my opinion. The Dubai chocolate slice tasted better, but tbh, the Dubai chocolate cake from Costco not only tastes better but has a better price point! I was really excited to try their ice cream - I loved their flavor choices, but that's where my fondness pretty much stopped. The pints were pricey and taste super home made (not in a good way). The ice cream was hard and while it tasted like sweet cream, it was definitely not churned enough to carry a smooth texture. They pints were Van Leeuwen prices but the taste and texture was far from quality ice cream. In this case, I much rather pick up a pint of Hagen Daz, again much better price point and better quantity. The store is pretty but I won't be returning.

Be careful when ordering from this place…read more I ordered an engagement cake and paid the full amount through Zelle. I specifically requested delivery at 5:30 PM, but the cake was not delivered on time. They barely answered their phone, and after many calls, someone finally responded and promised delivery by 6:30 PM. Because of the delay, I had to ask all of our guests to wait before eating, and the photographer had to stay longer since the engaged couple needed to take pictures with the cake first. The cake was not delivered until 8:00 PM, after the party was already over. I was later told that the driver had serious health issues and was in a coma. While I am sympathetic to anyone facing a medical emergency, the bakery should have communicated with me honestly and made alternative arrangements instead of leaving me waiting for hours with no clear information. To make matters worse, the cake arrived partially melted, and they used artificial flowers for the decoration without informing me beforehand. The final product did not look as expected at all. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially for such an important event. I would not order from them again.

I asked so many questions and she answered them completely and with a smile. The place gives this horribly rainy day a burst of sunshine. It's bright and clean with fun things to look at one the walls. There are a few tables, but I took what I wanted to go. I wound up getting 6 ice pops (paletas?) ranging from Mango to Jamaica, which is Hibiscus, which I love. Alexandra definitely made this a great experience. She told me weekends and Mondays are crowded. I told her I am retired, so I can come during the week. She said that she hoped I come back. I definitely will. You should too.

I got a couple things from Francesco's and so far not impressed. I tried one of the two macaroons and it was just awfully freezer burnt, then took a little nibble of the second one the same.

Well Kimarley L. beat me to the punch with a first review. I went to Get Baked NY today at 9am…read more Note: Tip/ This is IN Franchescos bakery to the left upon entering. Jamie a pleasant young lady, was working there. She was please to see that first review from Kimarley L. as I shared with her and it made her day. She shared information with me that Sandy is the person she works for and rents out the space for this Cupcake counter. The cupcakes are baked with the same ingredients that are used for the other baked goods at Franchescos Bakery. They do serve coffees and have a variety of cupcakes along with packs for 4. I got two beignets today, a whipcream and strawberry and a custard one. I ate into the one and found while there is a fresh strawberry on top the inside is gloppy with more like jelly strawberries inside. The whip cream is hard and not fluffy. Have not tried the other one yet. Perhaps other types will be better. Something else to note , the windows need shades or blinds. When the sun comes in everything in there gets hot . The credit card machine ( at 4% ) paper cost is very hard to see in the bright morning light. An update today, got my complementary cup cake today from many sport themed choices. I chose the baseball. I noticed and noted cupcakes in the bakery window. Jamie noted that theirs are medium-size not with filling and they a select amount of character cupcakes as well. Where's as the Get Baked ones have filling and are the large size.

The prices are super reasonable, i got 12 cookies for ~$13 and each one was really good. They came warm, with a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft inside. My favorites were the double chocolate chip cookie and the regular chocolate chip, but my friend really liked the snickerdoodle. I also got the iced latte for $6, which is a really good price for Nassau County! The inside was also such a vibe i loved the yellow chairs and the vibrant interior - there was so much seating. It was also so interesting seeing how they make the cookies. I will definitely come again I am absolutely obsessed!!!

We were driving around Hicksville killing some time between events and drove by "Thin Cookies"…read more Curiosity got the better of me and I made a U Turn and dropped in. Ambience - feels like a utilitarian kitchen or company lunch room. The kitchen is clearly visible in the open layout and you can watch the staff making the cookie dough. Food: we ordered the 6 cookie box. I asked for Peanut Butter, but they ran out. I settled for chocolate chip and Kit Kat. The cookies were all thin, leading me to think it would be brittle like a cracker. I was pleasantly surprised that they were so soft and chewy. Must be the butter! TL/DR: thin cookies creates small portion cookies that don't make you feel guilty when you eat more than one.

Something about coffee cooked for a long period of time actually gives it that "rich smooth taste". I ordered their raspberry cheese cake. It was actually delicious but the portion was a bit smaller than what I was expecting. Atmosphere inside comfortable and active with new patrons walking in. I opted to sit outside which made me feel like I was in NYC at a ritzy Cafe next to Central Park. It was quieter and relaxing. *Parking lot is Huge and shared with other stores. Use exit number 3 for a traffic light to cross over Wantauh Avenue. *Bathrooms; are two and both co-ed. *Final thoughts Pardon my "FRENCH" but the French Workshop was just ok for me. They didnt have scoopable ice-cream on hand which would have been nice next to my cake and their coffee wasn't on par in regards to a "RICH BOLD TASTE". No free coffee refills, no porcelain cup, and no silverware. The only metal your going to get is the steel tray your desert comes on. Perhaps something to consider ? *The Review Guru Long Island NY

Very cute, bright and sophisticated French bakery that operates more like a cafe. I don't expect…read moreplaces like this in my hometown, so I was happy surprised when I was looking for a place to meet a colleague that was close to my father's house. And they have a few vegan options! Don't expect macarons nor tarts, but that blueberry croissant I had was so delicious. It was more of a whole grain pastry than a traditional buttery croissant but because the blueberry filling was so sweet, I was happy for a less decadent pastry. I love that they have a nice array of coffee and matcha drinks too. I'm pretty sure the word has been out for some time now, but when that Starbucks line in the parking lot is just too much, The French Workshop is a better option (however, on a rainy Saturday in May, that line inside was considerable. People know what's good!) There's plenty of seating, too and if you are good at pretending, you almost feel you're in Europe (ignore the suburban strip mall that surrounds you).
