The Nest is a beautiful bakery in Ridgewood, Queens. My family comes here for coffees, desserts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches pretty often. We have also bought plenty of special occasion cakes here. The staff is really sweet and welcoming, and there is some limited seating available as well. I love that they decorate for the seasons. read more

Came here to meet three friends for coffee on a Saturday at 11 AM. We easily found a table to sit. were able to have conversation easily. The table sitting next to us was not very loud, which was nice. the table next to us sat three people and there is a countertop that sits about another 3 to 4 people. most people came in to just take out. I got myself a chai latte and my friends got cheesecake and a Madeline, which they all enjoyed. all of their pastries and baked goods looked very delicious, hoping to try more next time just a bit tight on cash at the moment. The menu of drinks does not fully encompass everything that they make, for example I ordered a chai latte and that was not a menu item so there is flexibility on what they can make. read more

What a lovely little shop! I see a podiatrist around the corner, and I came here once afterwards to pick up a variety of pastries for a house warming I was attending the following day. They were the hit of the gathering and people couldn't stop commenting how lovely they were! Today after my appointment I dropped in for a little treat and a coffee and it was just as wonderful as when I came six months ago. I love consistency from a business, and The Nest takes the cake, this will be a staple in my visits to Ridgewood in the future! Treat yourself! read more

The Nest Fine Dessert - Pistachio Eclair & Iced Coffee - Desserts Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

So cute and cozy! The mirror was an odd touch to the bakery but I guess the goal was to make the bakery cafe appear larger. I used to live around here and we'd go here often to get the little pie which was pretty affordable. We'd get some other options too and they were not bad but the pie was the best. Service is good depending on who is working because I saw a strand of hair on the box which isn't as bad as on the food itself. But I'd still rate it 5.5 read more

I've been coming to this bakery ever since I discovered it 13 years ago . Every time I miss home I got there to get a cheese danish ! They have freshly baked goods ,baked on the premises!! Their sandwiches are insanely good and the coffee is all you need to get you back on track when the day gets harder! Service is 10/10 ,one time I ordered some cheese danishes and forgot to pick them up , 2-3 weeks later the owner saw me on the street and told me that I forgot to go pick up my order . Went back that day and got my danishes ( fresh baked ones). The bakery is always nicely decorated and has a great vibe! read more

Decent coffee and beautiful looking desserts. This place is popular with locals. I liked their cookies but there cakes and flan were too sweet for me. The person behind the counter was very friendly and polite. Mera's Tip: get a pound of cookies read more

so I recently moved to the area I decided to try out the nest out of curiosity because they had so many desserts to choose from. First day I went I was treated very rudely by one of the staff later to find out it was the owner of the place. She was not very kind welcoming and it seemed like she just wanted to get me out the store. But I decided to come back another day because I get that people have bad days but it was still the same issue. I also noticed she wasn't very kind to her employees which I felt very bad for them as well. And just to add their fruits on their pastries taste like they were downed in pesticides!! I wanted to like this place so bad but between the horrible customer service I received and chemicals on the fruits I just can't. read more

Such a lovely and warm neighborhood spot with great desserts and very friendly staff! I visited it a few times. Tried a variety of cakes and dessert and was never disappointed.

I saw on tell this looks like a good breakfast spot. Headed on over because Yelp said it opened at 7! I was "greeted" by a very nasty lady who says why you come in here? We open 8 o'clock and you need to leave. I asked if I can place an order for 8 and she reiterated that I need to get out. I don't care how good their food looks on Yelp but tbh the food looks like it's been there for two days. Too bad they didn't have a different manager otherwise this place would do lots more business. Feel sorry for the owner read more

Ordered a spinach pie and it was very good, i took it to go so i just reheated it in the air fryer for 6 mins. The spinach to cheese ratio was perfect it was only $3.50. Will definitely order again read more

This lil coffee shop packs quite a punch. It's a lovely spot to pop into and grab an espresso as a pick-me-up, or to sit down and have a cup of coffee with one of their extensive choices of pastries. The confectionaries are really good, so good that a friend of mine used The Nest to cater dessert for their wedding. read more

This place is immaculate and is always busy in the morning. Their coffee is awesome and although I avoid the sweets (and there's so many), I have tried their tarts. Delicious but SWEET! The owner, Beatrice is very cordial and hardworking. Beatrice and her husband improved this cafe so much from their initial opening about 10 years or more. It is a warm cafe and the Albanians, Romanians and other Europeans frequent this cafe daily. It has become an international spot for all people. Finally, the food is good and the prices have hardly inflated throughout the years. It is always a pleasure to meet friends and make new friends when I visit here. read more

With display cases chock full of every sized dessert, from the dainty Ladyfinger to the robust butter croissants, there is a sweet to meet everyone's palate. What impressed me the most was the charming decour and intimacy of being surrounded in classy quarters with all of the Italian treats. It reminded me of hilidays of years gone by when my family shared hours together around the table, having coffee and talking. As I was late for my quarterly review with my finance guy, (his review to be more specific) I ordered up a Chocolate Scone, a croissant and an Apple Turnover with a black coffee ---with the idea of washing 'em all down. Although an ambitious plan to eat them all, I fell quite short as the richness of the buttery croissant hypnotized my tastebuds and filled the pit of my stomach. Can't wait to return to a hungry or a snacking state of being when I'll be tearing into that white bag that holds the remaining treasures. Sweetest, kindest, mose lovely folks working behind the counter, you all have made me a customer for life. read more

Our son got married in NY and his fiancé picked out a cake she liked on Instagram page. I called from Oklahoma and ordered it. Owners were very helpful and the cake was ready and delicious!! Was a beautiful cake too. If in Ridgewood go to The Nest- pumpkin scones amazing as well. The atmosphere is nice and the people are even nicer! read more

This place makes one of the best croissants I've ever had. They also have amazing drinks and is a great place to bring a friend and relax.

The best danishes in town. They're sold out of my moms favorite cheese danish some evenings, so get there early! It's a testament to how yummy they area :) Everything my family has gotten from here has been fresh and delicious.. plus the staff is sweet. My go to for pastries in the area! read more

I love this place. I love the smell of their sweets mixed with the scent of coffee when I walk in. It always just makes me sooo hungry lol Their pastries and desserts are delicious. Never had a bad experience with them. And the service.... they are all so sweet and genuinely trying to make sure you are taken care of. Sort of makes me feel like at my mom's house! read more

Thank you for making our wedding cake! It was good and and it looked great. The good thing about this place is that they make cakes fresh, usually baked the morning of or the day before. Also posting another cake I ordered from them and some photos I took at their shop. In general, they have a very nice sense of aesthetics when it comes to decorating cakes. read more

As I was strolling by Ridgewood on a saturday afternoon, I noticed this coffee & tea cozy sidewalk place, that caught my attention to have a cup of coffee and taste one of their beautiful pastries. As I walked in I was fascinating by their cozy interior decoration, fresh flowers smell and warmth welcome from the young girl behind the counter. After telling her what I wanted, if you're seating outside go ahead I will bring it to you. Wow! That's a great customer service!! I sat down and really enjoyed my coffee as well as their delicious apple pastry. I highly recommend this unique friendly place. read more

This place has come a long way from what it was from when I was a little girl. Perhaps they're under new management now because it used to be a very sad, dead bakery. Flash forward to 2018. They now have a beautiful very COZY interior that makes you feel like you're away from the busy streets of Ridgewood for a minute. The name "Nest" fits the place perfectly From the cozy, home-like ambiance to the tasty beautiful looking pastries and desserts, they're doing it just right. They offer everything from morning sweets: ie varieties of croissants, danishes, muffins, turnovers, scones and biscuits, to desserts: ie gourmet slices of pie and tarts to a few things in between like spinach and cheese rolls, cookies and brownies. The few whole cakes/pies that they have on hand, look absolutely marvelous, but try not to get mad when the person in front of you snags it before you do since they only carry one of each of these picture perfect desserts. They also have a full coffee bar behind the counter to surely fill your morning caffeine fix. One thing I admire about this bakery is that they're a small establishment and they offer a lot, but not too much. Have you ever walked into a bakery (like Martha's) and took about 20 minutes to order because they offer literally almost every kind of dessert known to man? Lol Nest is not like that. Their display cases and shelves aren't overflooded and overbearing. The key is less is more, and they're nailing that right on the head. Sure, they might not have exactly what you're looking for, but they'll have something similar and if not, something you weren't even expecting that you can't leave without lol. I'd say nest is a gem of a bakery in Ridgewood and trust me, I don't use that word too lightly (cough*half of yelp*cough). read more

Definitely a must experience local bakery. Beautifully decorated with a fairly nice selection of desserts. Price point is fair given the quality and overall look of the treats. read more

My husband and I found this place during the middle of the pandemic when most Starbucks were closed. I'm so glad we did because this is our go to place when it comes to coffee and desserts. The desserts are always fresh. The service is always pleasant and fast. Try The Nest you won't be disappointed. They always make my iced mocha latte perfect! read more

More of a bakery with desserts than coffee shop but a great place to stop when you are craving something sweet. I have an allergy to the nuts so there were a lot of delicious looking items I could not have so I settled for the cheese paste Ry, chocolate cookie and linzer cookie. For me the cheese pastry and chocolate cookie were good, freshly made but lacking the wow factor I thought they might have. My favorite of the three was the raspberry linzer cookie. They also have good coffee. Friendly staff that was very helpful with my allergy and when I was indecisive. I will be definitely bringing my but loving family here when they come to visit. read more

a massive Nutella Linzer tart cookie and a perfectly made cappuccino can do wonders when you're still waiting for your car work to be done. there's only so much randomly walking around that even I can do until I feel the need to eat again! a fine array of mixed European baked goods in an cozy coffeeshop await you at The Nest. a bit of every corner of Europe in a delicious, sweet little package. I just can't say no to Nutella, plus I clock in enough running mileage to warrant eating a cookie as big as a baseball glove - like I say, REAL workouts, REAL rewards! it was fantastic. friendly service, though a bit harried on a very hot day when everyone wanted an iced coffee drink and they wanted it now. read more

I love this little bakery! Came here on a whim one day and had a slice of their pecan tart and a macchiato. The pecan tart is so good. They actually but pecans throughout the filling so it's just not a sugary filling with a layer of pecans on top like most other pecan pies/tarts. I enjoyed it so much that I returned a week later to grab a pecan tart for thanksgiving. They have a wide variety of pies and pastries and everything looks so delicious. The macchiato was enjoyable as well. The best part is that this place is affordable. The whole tart cost only $15. This bakery truly is a gem. read more

This bakery makes the best damn tiramisu I've ever had IN MY LIFE. On par with that is nearly every other dessert they make. They've got some European style desserts (walnut apricot wafer things), great coffee and tea, etc. decor is cute too- they take cards. This place has been around for 20 years.- if you live in the area, make sure they're on your list. read more

Everything that we have ever gotten from Nest has not only been delicious but really really high in quality from the way it looks to the smells and obviously the taste. Had to get a last minute cake here one time and the fruit and cream used in the cake was second to none with all of the ingredients 100% fresh. So good! A crime not to try at least something from this place whether you have a sweet tooth or not read more

This bakery used to go under another name, but same rude owner. In fact, she's a bit psycho. While the products themselves are good, the female owner is very selective on who she is nice too. If she doesn't like you, then she'll find a reason not to have you as a customer. Which is a shame. Even if you're a private business, you should treat all customers with care unless proven otherwise. That's okay. Plenty of other bakeries in Ridgewood. Lady. You do know that your behavior does get reported on the internet. read more

Delicious pastries and cakes. My favorite are the peanut butter and jelly blondies and the spinach rolls. The ice coffee always hits the spot. They offer a punch card promotion. After 10 coffee, ice tea, or mojito (non-alcohol) you get one large free similar drink. Important note. No decaf for regular coffee purchases. Decaf available on lattes and cappuccinos. My new go to spot. read more

The Nest is really great place with one major design flaw. They never have sugar containers available for customers to use. When I ask for light and sweet it is never sweet enough. A simple fix would be for me to grab an easily available sugar container and sweeten my cappuccino to my liking. Unfortunately they have no containers and force you to ask the nice lady at the counter for sugar packets. This gets very annoying when it happens on every visit and I have to cut customers to get her attention for sugar packets. NEST MANAGEMENT please leave some sugar and cinnamon containers out for your customers to use . Otherwise this place is great. read more
