But once we tasted the banana bread, pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cake and tres leches cake, all doubts disappeared. The tres leches was perfectly tasty and moist, not dry at all. Most tres leches you get are sitting in a moat of condensed milk, topped with unimpressive frosting and sandwiching painfully sweet cake. THIS IS NOT THAT. Their ratio is spot-on. When I tell you that this was THE BEST TRES LECHES CAKE I'VE EVER HAD, I'm not exaggerating. Staff was friendly. And the banana bread? Delicious with a crisp, golden crust. The chocolate cake was straight from the Willy Wonka factory. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy and delicious. Buttah Bakery may not look like much from the outside, but the treats definitely do not trick!!!! Can't wait to go back.

5 Stars - Beyond Amazing 100-Day Cake!…read more I simply had to leave a review for Junction Cake Box after they created the most stunning 100th Day cake for my nephew! I gave them some basic ideas since I'm not very creative--just light blue color, cute animals, and that it was for a baby boy's 100th Day. They absolutely ran with it, creating a cake that was way more stunning than I could have imagined. It tasted so good too! Accommodation, service, cake quality, and price all get a solid 5 stars from me. They made the process so easy, and the result was spectacular.

I placed an order through her site and I got an email back the next day and we took it from there. Karen is so sweet and very professional, she contacted me confirming details of delivery the day before and she delivered the cake HERSELF the day of my birthday and gave me instructions on storage until the time of my event. Such amazing service! When I opened the cake I was blown away, it was absolutely perfect. Karen was so attentive to the details I wanted, I have this teddy bear I run an instagram for and she made him as a topper, it was SOOOO CUTE!!! On top of that, the dreamy design on the front of the cake was really beautiful. I ordered the earl grey flavor cake 6" petite, I highly recommend this flavor it was so delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful, the buttercream was nice and light, slightly aromatic with the scent of tea. I'm SO happy I ordered my birthday cake from Karen, she's made the perfect cake in so many ways and I've fallen in love with her work. Definitely recommend!

They have cookies, cakes, pastries, rolls, bread, coffee, and entire cakes available for you to walk out with on the spot. Their pretzel rolls are very popular so you have to get there early for those. Every time I've come here, even before their brief closing I was always met with a warm welcome. Very clean, I've never had a bad item as I've heard has happened at other places. Definitely worth taking exit 19 (69th St) off the L.I.E. to come try their great selection.

I only know it exists because I walked past it. In an area with very limited restaurants, this place is unique and interesting, not to mention DELICIOUS. It is truly a breath of fresh air. Though small, the restaurant is clean and comfortable and the staff is extremely friendly and pleasant. The prices are very reasonable. Me and my boyfriend ordered the rotisserie pork belly combo ($40) which comes with a two lb log of pork belly and three sides- we chose the mac and cheese, the adobo fried rice, and the pickled vegetables. The pork is extremely tender and juicy and permeated with smokiness. The outside is crisp and the rich fatty layer melts in your mouth. Perhaps it needed a pinch more salt, but topped with the accompanying sauce, it was quite flavorful. The Mac and cheese is not my go-to style of mac and cheese, but I couldn't stop eating it. The cheese sauce is thinner and it has some pieces of onion which ramp up the savoriness of the dish. I especially appreciated that the elbow pasta was not mushy at all, and still had a nice bite to it. The bread crumbs and crunchy croutons on top were a perfect complement. The adobo fried rice was pretty good, but probably my least favorite part of the meal. The sauce is drizzled on top and if you mix it well it's fine but otherwise you end up with a lot of bland unseasoned rice on the bottom. There was also a few crunchy dry clumps of rice. It wasn't bad though, I still ate quite a bit. The pickled vegetables were so well balanced and provided a much needed refreshing crunch to this rich heavy meal. This was too much food for two people and we were hungry! This combo would easily feed three. I will certainly be returning, possibly even frequently. I can't wait to gather up a few friends to try their kamayan feast, served on banana leaves which looks decadent and incredible.

Cozy Spot with Fresh, Authentic Flavors…read more The dining area is quite small and a bit cramped, which made sitting down a little challenging. However, the food more than made up for it. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. I had the lumpia, which was delicious, and the Halo Halo was just right--not too sweet, which I appreciated. The standout for me was the greens--absolutely my favorite dish of the night. The service was friendly kuya's behind the counter. Parking is on the side streets, but I was able to find a spot fairly easily. I'll definitely go again--if I can get parking!

However, the staff were also super warm and accommodating, and the quality of the items we got (gluten free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes) was great. The actual cake bases of both types were moist and flavorful. I could've gone with a little less frosting and more cake, but it made for a very aesthetically pleasing topping with the vibrant colors, sprinkles, and glitter. I kept getting strong hints of rose flavor from the pink frosting on the chocolate cupcakes so I'm not sure if they infused it with that. Overall, a great little spot, and really a savior for procrastinators looking for sweet goodies to take to a gathering when other last-minute ideas fall through!

There's usually a line of some length during peak hours and especially around the holidays. You can tell by the sheer volume of baked goods and cakes available in their window displays that they sell a lot daily. This location is on the main drag of the little downtown section of Forest Hills, the baked goods in the front window display connect to a tall and long glass counter along the left side of the store that extends almost to the back. At the back middle and along the right side of the wall there's seating for about two dozen people at small cafe tables. They carry an assortment of traditional cakes (full and sliced), pies, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee/tea drinks. A wide variety of flavors in each, so you're bound to find something sweet to satisfy most here. They are a classic bakery so from what I can tell, they don't carry items that are gluten, dairy or nut free. I've purchased their apple pie, fruit tart, berry napoleon, red velvet and chocolate fudge cakes from this or other locations in the past and they're all solid choices for desserts to share with a larger group, though I find a lot of their cake options to be on the richer side. My most recent encounter with their cakes came in the form of a slice of their seven layer cake $9.95 which is thin layers of yellow cake alternating with chocolate cream mmm pretty tasty, and their caramel cake $9.95 which had a layer of chocolate cake in the middle, sandwiched by caramel cream and white cake on either side. The latter had a pronounced caramel flavor that was enjoyable though a bit too much cream for me. My preference would be for their chocolate cakes over other cake flavors here. Their apple pie is one of my favorite apple pies anywhere tho!
