    If you're into old-fashioned bakery charm with a huge variety of freshly baked goods and classic New York baked-good flavors, Riesterer's is a must-visit bakery on Long Island. Go early in the day for the best selection, and be ready for that authentic local vibe!

    Nutella cake
    Lynee G.

    I came here a few times in the past few months and I was disappointed. So much to choose from but the staff seem unfriendly. The premade cakes in the display are not priced and when you ask questions the staff seem bothered. The bakery is very mediocre but convenient when you live nearby. I picked up a Nutella cake for my husbands bday and a napoleon and pecan bar. They go heavy on the almond flavor so the cake was a bit overpowering - I didn't like the cake at all. The next night we had more than half the cake left and we decided to have a little bit of each dessert I bought the day before (the napolien piece and pecan bar and cake) keep in mind nothing was left out, it was refrigerated right away. Well we both spit out the napolien it was spoiled and the cake tasted rancid also. The pecan bar was ok but c'mon for all that money it didn't last more than one night? Makes me think these items were not fresh. Any other bday cake I've had lasts a few days after cutting into it. I give it two stars because their donuts and some treats are good but after this last visit I won't be back even though I live close by and it was convenient. Although I want to support my local bakery I just can't anymore.

    And Just Like That... A Fluffle  My surprise baby shower cake
    Nancy W.

    I was looking back at my past pictures and came across my cake from my baby shower from August 2023. At the time, I didn't know where it was from until earlier tonight. I looked at the name closely and saw Riesterer's Bakery. Thank you for helping in customizing our cake. At the time, my lil guy was born the year of the Rabbit. My husband wanted to surprise this saying on here, and many of our guests enjoyed the cake.

    I ordered a birthday cake for my mom's 100th party. It was perfect! Beautiful and delicious! It was delivered on time and with the kosher certification needed. It was parve mousse and ganache and tasted amazing! Thank you!!!

    When I called asking for a cake to resemble an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese...this could've gone very poorly. Riesterer's knocked it out of the park. Insane cake. Well done! Also I asked for bagel cookies. Also...perfection. AND everything tasted good too! Win win!

    Bridal shower cake
    Denise Y.

    Riesterer's Bakery was recommended to me by the restaurant where my daughters Bridal Shower was being held I was very impressed with the customer service I received when placing the order for cake I didn't have a picture of a specific design but explained my vision and they decorated it perfectly! The cake was delicious and the raspberry mousse filling was incredible If I lived in the area this would definitely be my "go to" bakery!

    If you have a sweet tooth, I advise you to stay as far away from this bakery as possible. But if you cannot resist then I recommend the cakes the cupcakes the pastries the donuts the pies the novelties the specialties the breads the crackers and pretty much everything on the lower shelves all the way up to the upper shelves and the shelves behind the counter as well.

    Birthday Cake
    Betty W.

    Fabulous service,. Flexible designer, extraordinary baker.. Punctual delivery. Cake ordered long distance for a local delivery. This is the bakery of my childhood. Now 95 years old it is a historical cornerstone to the surrounding vicinity and community. A much loved business institution still family owned and operated. Delivered to local care facility where the signature cake with strawberry filling with frosting (too hot for whipped cream) was enjoyed by birthday recipient and care staff. I'm happy to recommend and use them again.

    Unwrapped the goods. Here's some of what I got. Jelly donut and black and white cookie. Yum!

    Open for business. Must wear mask and social distance. Automatic doors welcome you in and out. It wasn't busy on a Sunday morning. Same great variety of cakes, cookies and pastries. Been following on Facebook and so happy they are open and contributing to serve the community in a safe way. Staff wearing masks. No gloves but all items are packed with wax paper into a bag. Didn't take pics as it's hard to when you just want to go in and out.

    Great family bakery

Their pastries are top notch, both in ingredient and aesthetics, but beyond that I am most impressed with the customer service at this location. They stand behind excellence and ensure customer satisfaction, and it shows in their demeanor and action when something is not 100% up to par. If you're looking for something delicious and beautiful, or a piece of cake, tart, or mousse that will impress, this is your place! It's worth every penny!

And now an even closer location in Plainview! Pretty soon they're gonna open one right in my backyard or something haha. It is a lovely spot for authentic French-inspired pastries and coffee. I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

We're not vegan, but as vegetarians we love vegan restaurants that have figured out how to make deliciousness out of plant-based foods. As tasty as the drinks were, it's really the vibe that I love. So random to find a place like this in our relatively normie area - maybe we can even find other weirdos like ourselves who also feel at home in a place that celebrates spooky fun like WBCH does.

    My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!
