Italian cheesecake for my birthday yesterday! OMG- incredible!!!…read moreI see now that my mom bought a cake here in the past- makes sense- repeat customer because delicious!

As an avid baker, and sweets connoisseur, I'm always looking to find new bakeries or home bakers…read morethat elevate what I can do myself **I'm looking at you The Egg Suite, The Crumb Picker, and Elisa's Niece's Cafe**and I was really looking forward to trying this bakery. Well let me just say that this was an atrocious experience from start to finish. I will NEVER return to this bakery. The girl helping me didn't know if the tiramisu was made with mascarpone or whipped cream or if the Napoleon had pastry cream, custard, or whipped cream. Usually you can tell by looking and that should've been my first sign that something was off. I just assumed that she was new and she was super sweet and apologetic so I forged on. I ordered an Italian cheesecake, cannoli, a single serve tiramisu, and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was soft and a little chewy and the quality of the chocolate was on point. When I opened the box that the cheesecake was in, it was filled with a viscous brown fluid that in my 5 minute drive home had actually accumulated enough to soak through the cardboard bakery box. I immediately knew that either there was too much butter in the crust, there was a water bath issue, meaning the crust was not properly sealed against the water bath or the water level was too high, OR, the cake was old and prolonged refrigeration was the culprit. I brought the cake right back and quietly showed the counter employee the issue...there were customers in the store and I was not looking to draw attention to this issue. The worker was appropriately apologetic and brought it to the back...and that's where everything quickly deteriorated. The owner came out accusing me of dropping the cake, which didn't happen and also had nothing to do with all the oozing brown goo, and then proceeded to insult and demean me in front of the other customers. He said I "obviously wasn't Italian" and therefore "didn't know anything about Italian cheesecakes." When I shared that I was actually born in Italy he quickly shifted to degrading the region my family and I are from. He then said "oh do you make cheesecake every day like we do because if you don't, you don't get to have an opinion." He went on and on while I just continued to request a refund for the defective item. To be fair and transparent, I would've probably overlooked the dripping crust if the cheesecake tasted amazing but it tasted like it had spent a few days too long in the fridge. These days spending close to $40 for a small cake is somewhat of a luxury. I appreciate all of the bakeries and home bakers who are persevering in this difficult economy and continuing to produce quality products. I absolutely understand that nothing is perfect and mistakes happen and when I'm at fault, I take responsibly and hold myself accountable. I do not yell, demean, and insult customers like this owner did. There are too many wonderful bakeries and home bakers that stand behind their goods and deserve your patronage and hard earned money. This establishment is NOT one of the them. As multiple other reviews have stated, it seems that when things are good they're good but when they are bad, this owner is rude and takes no accountability. I do wonder if he would've spoken to my husband in the same manner that he spoke to me but we'll never know because no one I know will ever step foot in this establishment again. Also, the cannoli shells were totally soggy on the bottom. A true Italian bakery would fill individually per order.

I won't say anything negative but the rest is just not for us... not fans of much or anything else and we have purposely had different things each time to explore the menu.

I was on my way to Huntington and decided to stop here for some breakfast and pastries. It was a…read moreFriday morning and wasn't very busy. While I don't always expect an overly cheerful greeting, the service was very plain and lacked a smile. Even when I mentioned it was my first time, the staff seemed indifferent. I ordered an egg and cheddar cheese biscuit and a small coffee with sugar-free French vanilla and almond milk, which came to $15. I also picked up two mini pies for $14. The breakfast sandwich was okay, but for the price, I expected more cheese and a bit more flavor. However, the mini pastries were absolutely delicious! I would 100% come back just for those. The store itself was very clean. Iba de camino a Huntington y decidí pasar por aquí para comprar desayuno y repostería. Era un viernes por la mañana y no estaba muy lleno. Aunque no siempre espero un saludo súper alegre, el servicio fue muy simple y sin una sonrisa. Incluso cuando mencioné que era mi primera vez, el personal se mostró indiferente. Pedí un 'biscuit' de huevo y queso cheddar y un café pequeño con vainilla francesa sin azúcar y leche de almendras; el total fue de $15. También compré dos mini pays por $14. El sándwich de desayuno estaba bien, pero por ese precio, esperaba más queso y un poco más de sabor. Sin embargo, ¡los mini panes dulces estaban absolutamente deliciosos! Volvería al 100% solo por ellos. El local estaba muy limpio.

This review is long, long overdue. I come here about once a week. Today was the first time I tried…read moretheir chicken parm and it was very good. The bread at the bottom was a tiny bit soggy but honestly it's what I expect from gluten free bread and any suet if moisture. At least it didn't rudely come apart like some other gluten free sandwiches. The seasoned fries were a bit on the salty side; I would try the sweet potato fries next time. I have bought their frozen mozzarella sticks before; the flavor is perfect but unfortunately they fall apart a little too much. Anyway, the true gem of this bakery are it's baked goods. I highly recommend the loaves and muffins. So far, I've had the blueberry crumble, cinnamon crumb, corn, lemon poppy, and gingerbread loaves (the gingerbread is seasonal but they said they do special orders). None of the loaves missed even a bit. I really like the focaccia and the challah when they have it. The bakery itself has a nice cafe vibe. I enjoyed hanging out there.

I wanted a funfetti cake and the one they had readily available had lovely sunflowers on it. The woman working was so sweet and put some writing on the cake for me. The 6" cake was about $50 dollars which seemed a bit high, but I think its pretty standard for a bakery. The cake itself was very moist and absolutely delicious and I would give it an A+. The cake I purchased for her birthday from another local bakery last year was really dry, so I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. The buttercream frosting was where I felt the cake fell a bit short. It tasted like pure unsalted butter and had almost no sweetness to it, so we ended up just eating the cake center and leaving the frosting. Unfortunate for an expensive cake but based on the other reviews I'm wondering if it was just a one time error. I don't think I would get another cake from there, but the rest of the baked goods and empanadas looked awesome so I will definitely be bake to try those!
