    Cannoli Dip
    James I.

    Ever since we moved to Howard Beach I'd come to Pasticceria La Torre to get pastries for my family. I want to say it was about four years ago when we first tried their cannoli dip & that was it. A wrap for at least the holidays. Lol. Last two years I'd get two, one for my side & one for my wife's side. Our family might not let us in if we don't bring the dip. So I HIGHY recommend if you are a cannoli fan. I'll most likely be back for Christmas to grab two. I've also randomly gone in for coffee & a cookie or something like that. I've never had a bad experience here. Around the holidays they can get busy, but the wait is never too long and not worth it. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The ambiance is what you'd expect for an old school bakery with holiday decor. Two thumbs all the way up!

    Lopsided and no strawberry. But was okay.

    I asked for strawberry and chocolate pudding. It was okay. The service was great. Service was good. I wouldn't say that's a layer of strawberry

    Cannoli cake with what was supposed to be " gold sparkles"
    Kristie F.

    Two stars because the girl at the counter really tried to help, the price was fair, & the cake did taste good... however ..... I placed this order for my daughter's baptism. The theme was gold and white and I asked for gold sparkles. My cake came with a gold cross and Pink on it. When I first saw my cake it had CHUNKS of GOLD FOIL.. not sure what that was about but it looked like my toddler did it‍.. when I was where was the gold glitter (that was on my order sheet) they said they didn't have gold glitter. I was confused as to why this wasn't mentioned to me when I ordered. The girl said she can remove the foil.. when they did the cake came out with more pink and extra frosting she then said you really want glitter? And then brought the cake out as appeared in the picture which looks like someone spilled tumeric all over my cake. What a disappointment! I could no longer now share my cake on the dessert table. She did mention if I was upset to contact the manager the next day, however this did not fix my problem for the day. She was kind... the baker tried but my order was very messed up. Very very disappointed as cakes are a great piece of decor for a party

    9 inch red velvet cake with way too much buttercream frosting. Gross

    I placed an order for a 9 inch red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream for my girlfriend's birthday and this is what I received. The cake looked how I wanted it aside from the writing. It looks rushed and I asked for gold frosting on top not yellow. When it came to trying the cake, it was terrible. It tasted like plain yellow cake, and not even good yellow cake. It was very dry, and they put a mountain of frosting (which tasted like store bought vanilla icing) in between the layers. From what I thought, buttercream should be a little softer that this frosting that they put. I'm highly disappointed with this cake. $40 for frosting with a side of cake is ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend.

    I hate dismissive staff at any establishment!!! I walked in to the store, good a couple of minutes i did not get any response from behind the counter. The girl didn't say anything, working on her laptop. I stood over there, didn't say a word to see if when she will respond. Then without turning around she is asking me what do i like. I said a strawberry shortcake, she packed it and i left. I am telling you guys, you will be really sorry one day, when you don't have any job!

    A disaster cake with horrible writing

    First let's start that this is the second time John has disappointed me. The first time the same thing happened as well as him making a 7 year old BOY cry because he put flowers on his fake when I did not order flowers for the cake. This cake in the photos was ordered for my birthday and it was a disaster. The hand writing was awful and the cake was super dry and full of frosting with hardly any cake as shown in the photos. When contacted by John he was the most unprofessional and unpleasant person I've encountered. He totally disregarded my complaints and did not care to apologize passing the blame on me and stating that he even put extra frosting and that he can do what he likes with the cakes he makes since I did not put on the ticket that I did not want certain things done. He mentioned in 39 years he's never had a complain but reviews say other wise. His attitude was not of someone who owes a business not of someone who cared that their customer was not pleased. Never experienced this before with a bakery.

    I normally avoid giving bad reviews to small local businesses. But I truly just had the absolute…read moreworst experience at this spot today... It's Eid so my sister and I came here to buy 6 bubble teas for the family (Around 5:45) When I ordered it, the cashier laughed in my face sarcastically. I asked her why she laughed and she expressed "cause I'm gonna have to make them now" um hate to break it to you babe but that's your literal job??? I did feel bad since she was the only one behind the counter at the time, so I changed my order from 6 to 4 bubble teas. I sat down with my sister and we watched as 3 other parties ordered and received their drinks while we still waited for ours. After quite the wait, I went to the pickup area to ask if our drinks were ready yet and they were ready, just sitting there for a while. I guess she didn't think to notify us that our drink is ready? I mean she saw us waiting so I don't know why she couldn't let us know. Such blatant disregard for customer's time. Maybe I'm spoiled by the amazing service I get at Chaiwala. I kind of regret going here today because on top of that, one of my bubble teas was filled literally halfway. I get that I ordered a regular size for two of the drinks and maybe they only had large cups but even then, what I received was waaaay less than what the regular cup holds. And this regular sized drink had waaaay less bubble tea than the other regular sized drink I ordered. I don't know if she did that on purpose or out of spite... but it did feel like it. Just look at the pictures I attached and see for yourself. Also, I asked for no ice and it definitely had ice in it. And as if it couldn't get any worse, my brown sugar milk tea was just milk with a tiny amount of brown sugar at the bottom. I defffffinitely did not get what I paid for and it really is disappointing. After such a long wait I didn't want to mention anything, so I took the drinks and left. But looking back, I really should have requested a refund. It was abysmal and I shouldn't have received such horrible products because I'm a paying customer like everyone else! It's astonishing how bad that one cashiers service was, I really think the owner should train his staff on common courtesy, it's not his fault but it's impacting his business. But I will say the other staff members are generally friendly and have great service, so maybe just train this girl. A couple of friends and neighbors here and there have also mentioned moments of off-putting service they experienced here, or similar inconsistencies with the product FYI.

    In the mist of a four day summer's heat wave that plagued and gripped New York City which became…read morehotter than California's Death Valley, I needed a cool down with bubble tea. This Kung Fu Tea is located in Howard Beach, Queens, NYC and very accessible by MTA NYC Transit buses Q52 SBS, Q53 SBS, Q41, Q21 and QM15 at Cross Bay Boulevard. My visit at Kung Fu Tea was good. Kung Fu Tea's slogan to name themselves as "America's bubble tea." The sales associate suggested passion fruit green tea to coincide with the high heat climate which I took to the heart. This young male sales associate was friendly and welcoming. Passion fruit green tea, medium $6.00 I like this passion fruit tea. My order was correctly fulfilled with 30% sugar and regular ice. Again, I highly despise extreme sweet drinks for the high sugar content volume and agree with former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg's limiting sugar level initiatives consumption of sugary drinks. Again, Bloomberg would be proud of my sugar intake level. Kung Fu Tea has my favorite topping grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 which refers to as "herbal jelly." Toppings are $0.75 but for grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 it was worth the price. I was elated that my grass jelly was the only topping embedded and no other annoying topping as passion fruit seeds. I wish the ice sustained my drink for coldness during my MTA NYC Transit bus ride home. I also wish I can purchase a bowl of ready made grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 as a dessert. I dream of many dreams... Order fulfillment for efficiency and accuracy are on point. There is one large Japanese maneki-neko 招き猫 beckoning cat prominently displayed high near the ordering counter blessing the business, greeting customers, serving as a good luck revered position and decoration. Very adorably cute and beautiful cat.

The bakery was turned over three times there's a different owner. Do you own this bakery still or do you not? And as far as sky offering me 10% on my next purchase, like I said in my review, I will never purchase from there again. The cake was disgusting. I don't have to lie about it because I could buy that cake and 100 others from that bakery. It was the point that my friends purchased that disgusting cake for $55 that wasn't even worth $10 and it was STALE !! so keep your 10% whoever you are because like I said when I called they said they have no clue as to who you even are and you're on this Yelp answering people's reviews? Lol keep your comments to yourself and about your fraudulent remarks. The cake was purchased for my birthday. my friend called on a Monday they told her to call the Wednesday before only to find out that you said they make the cake the same day that she's picking it up ? So why call 3 days before? Makes no sense. Enjoy your day whoever you are. I c u changed you're name ?
