Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

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!

The cake was at the venue before I arrived, so I didn't have to worry about delivery, which was particularly helpful since the party was in Manhattan. The cake was a huge part of our 50th birthday celebration, and I'm so glad we used them. Not only was the cake flawless, but it also tasted good - it was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I would definitely use this company again, you won't be disappointed.

The Super Mario decal was not centered and there was a wrinkle on the left side of the decal. It appears that the wrinkle is from a break in the cake and there was an attempt to cover the mistake. When mentioning to the staff the mistakes, I was presented with a "sorry". As a patron who has used this company for over several years, I am highly disappointed in the quality and response. The quality of this cake appears to be one of an amateur and not worth the $90 spent. Please review the photos shared below.

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!

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,
