I knew what she wanted because I always order a cake with half choc. pudding, half custard for my Job when we have an event and they get it from here. Anyway I digress. I placed an order for my daughter's 21st bday and I have a vision cake that I created with the help of AI. The first picture. The person taking my order was very transparent and informed me that because I used AI the cake will not be exactly as I I visited but they would do their best........DROP THE F'&$*! MIKE!!!!! (Photo 2) Needless to say Riesterer's did not disappoint once again.

Cupcakes are supposed to be light, fluffy and moist. This was hard as a brick. Why would you sell this to a customer? When an 8 year old won't even eat it...... Should I also mention taking cash and working the cash register and then touching food without washing hands or gloves? Unsanitary Childhood memories destroyed.

Many minutes later parked the car and went to the shop which notes open until 8pm and call if door not open. I went, it was closed O(see pix) I called and left a message. I did some shopping in a few other stores in the area and then left. More than two hours later I got a phone reply that they were out. Clearly. Must be a business landline. What I was told from one of the other merchants is that they take orders and do very nice specialty cakes. They also have their own agenda of when they are there and not. So for other bakery needs go to the bakery down the block at Riesterer"s. I did. I can not say how good Sunflower bakery foods are. If I should have a need for some particular specialty cake that another bakery can't make, I could always their number. Other than that I have nothing else to say,

There was an elderly woman sitting in the back watching and waiting for anyone to enter. I walked in and she was quick to assist. I noticed my favorite cookie baking in the sun's rays and I had to give it a try. I've been looking for the best black and white cookie since my last favorite bakery closed down over ten years ago. I have to say that this is it!!!! I am so stoked. I'll definitely be back again. As soon as I paid for my cookie someone else walked in behind me and was quick to place their order right after. I'm not sure, but it might be cash only or cash for under a certain amount. I looked through the shelves of cookies and saw some other varieties my family and I enjoy. I'll have to taste those later. Happy eats!!

There was a constant long line of customers during our wedding cake tasting. Bakery items are fresh and good quality. My favorite item was the hazelnut eclair and chocolate eclair with vanilla cream.

Tables are small and each fit 2-3 people at most. Overall, I would recommend this bakery!

Stepping inside of this magnificent dessert emporium I became perplexed by the variety of desserts and pastries that were very desirable and readily available. In the words of Vinnie Barbarino, I'm so confused (IYKYK). It's a different setup that causes the line to move faster than it used to, I see the improvement. The ordering is done in one place and cashing out is next to it, in the same area. You still walk in and head straight to the display cases where you pick you pleasure. I did not pick my names sake only because it slipped my mind due to me being focused on breakfast. No, I don't eat cakes for breakfast. I picked up a couple croissants, apple turnover, a couple of cheese Danishes, and an almond croissant. Service was prompt and the employees were attentive as well as pleasant. I like how they approach the counter and inquire about your status versus staring at you letting you try to figure out if someone is going to help you or not. At the check out, there's the coffee station or tea. I ordered 2 French Vanilla coffees, to say the least the French vanilla flavor seemed distant to none. On the second trip it was exact same coffee request with the same results. An improvement needed is to have different sweetners for the coffee. Not everyone wants white sugar or sweet n low. Since the vanilla syrup is not sweet enough, another liquid sweetener can work. Nonetheless this was such a sweet experience! Inspire more, Yelp more!

Now I've known about them for a while but this was my first actually ordering from them. I called on a Saturday at about 3pm and Jermaine answered the call, both literally and figuratively. I nervously mentioned I needed a cake for the evening.. by 6pm, as I needed to be in Williamsburg by 7:15pm. He responded not to worry as they had a beautiful 10'' double chocolate, oreo cookie, multi-layered cake that would fit the occasion perfectly... my heroes! The gf and her friends absolutely loved the cake and were wow'd by how pretty, big and delicious it was. We had 7 people at the table and even after some folks took big pieces to go, we had nearly half the cake to take home!
