    Awesome bakery specializing in my favorite type of cookie! They had such an amazing variety and out of the box items that I was torn on what to order because it all looked amazing. (Just another reason for a re-visit) Can't wait to come back for more!

    Yummy black and white rainbow cookies, or what's left of them.
    Kris K.

    Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! I definitely recommend that you try this rather unique establishment. My beautiful sisters treated me to black and white rainbow cookies! So moist and delicious! Please make sure they are open before going. They do not have normal business hours. Everything is fresh and tasty.

    I've had this place on my radar for some time as this girl loves rainbow cookies. It has very limited hours so be sure to check the hours of operation before going. I love how they take preorders online and I ordered quite a few items in advance (nearly $100). They do sell a good amount of items in the shop but if you want to be guaranteed an item, it's best you preorder. They also had items not available online but in the shop so I ended up buying a two of those too. When I got there I was so excited and my order was ready for pickup. The two ladies working there was less than enthusiastic but they got the job done (almost a bit apathetic). When I said, "I wish you guys had more opening hours, I would come more often". I was responded with "We are a small business and can't work everyday". This was the tone of the visit. Rainbows are supposed to be happy! :) The classic rainbow cookies were very good and the other hybrid combos were good. Some items started to get a bit too sweet (especially those heavily drizzled with white chocolate)

    Best Rainbow cookies on the island!! And you need to try that Cheesecake cone... it's addicting!

    Irish flag rainbow cookies!!!
    Kaia B.

    My mom's coworkers were able to score some rainbow cookies from Uncle Joey's, and I was fortunate enough to try some. I can never go back to those dusty waxy and dry impostors from the grocery store. These were the best rainbow cookies I've ever eaten in my life. The raspberry jam is so fresh and sweet, and generously spread onto each layer. The thin cookie layers have such a soft velvety texture, and that smooth dark chocolate ganache on the top and bottom is literally heaven. It's all texturally so light and airy yet so packed with rich almond, raspberry, and chocolate flavor. I also love how they made the cookie into an Irish flag for St Patty's Day- it's the perfect marriage of the quintessential Long Island Irish and Italian cultures! I've been told to call ahead to place an order, because once they've reached capacity they close for the day. I will definitely be calling and making the trek out to farmingdale for some of Uncle Joey's magical cookies. They've sent me straight to rainbow cookie heaven!!!

    Came here after discovering them on Instagram! I'm a HUGE fan of rainbow cookies and I always try to get them when I'm visiting Long Island. I pre-ordered their classic rainbow cookies as well as a Linzer Tart, chocolate chip cookie, and a rainbow cookie cake slice. I also ordered the cannoli when I got to the store. Everything they offer is rainbow cookie themed so if you're not a fan of the tri-colored cookie, you may not be impressed but I definitely was! The Linzer Tart was my favorite because it was the perfect cross between a linzer tart and a rainbow cookie - it was perfect. It was soft on the bottom and the jelly was delicious. If you like jelly donuts, this is a great option for you. While I liked everything, I do wish the cannoli was freshly filled upon order and their rainbow cookies could have used more almond flavor, in my opinion. The rainbow cake slice did have the perfect amount of almond flavor though so I loved it. Definitely recommend if you love rainbow cookies as much as I do. And pre-order your items to guarantee that you get what you want!

    There aren't enough positive adjectives to praise this place. I mean if your shops name is rainbow cookie, then your rainbow cookies better be on point. Guess what, grand slam! Their options are endless. From the rainbow black and whites to the add ins on the cookies and cakes like crumb cake and cannoli cream, this place is a chubby Italians wet dream. Always great friendly service and ordering via social media and internet is a breeze. Try this place now!

    4/20/25. Great chocolate but some pieces had too much jelly!
    Stacey S.

    4/20/25. Someone brought these cookies to Easter so I can only comment on the taste. They are very good, and you can tell the chocolate is high quality. I love how thick the chocolate is too. My only gripe is that there was too much jelly (you can even see it in the pic). At times, it tasted more of jelly than almond. They are better than most locally, but I also do love those from Front Street in RVC. I would try other items, but there hours are ridiculous.

    The Rainbow cookies are too die for. They are the best tasting ones in all New York. When you walk-in this small unassuming storefront you are knocked over by the scent of these cookies. I think that the raspberry filling is what makes these cookies. He has branched out into collaborating with other bakers and giving us new combinations like the raspberry cheesecake Rainbow crumble bars, also delicious. No public phone number for the store so you got to DM over Instagram or FB if you want to pre order or check current inventory. Since this is a family business most times there's only one person manning the store.

    I don't even know how we have been part of this community for over a decade and never heard of this place! Sure my doctor had something to do with it! Someone gifted us some sweet treats bc they know we love rainbow cookies! The perfect gift and saves us time and money making the trip to Fortunado's. We got the traditional rainbow cookie Rainbow cookie Boston crème doughnut Rainbow cookie doughnut filled with

    A rainbow cookie lovers dream!! They have so many different desserts with rainbow cookie incorporated into the desserts. My favorites are the black & white rainbow cookie & the rainbow crumb cake. I've only gotten individual items but I definitely want to get a cake there next time I'm shopping for one! Make sure to check the store hours before going because they are closed certain days of the week.

    everything from here was to die for. i will absolutely be returning. we got the rainbow cake, black and white cookies, and a cheesecake crumb cake. the only thing that's strange is their hours but there was a line to get cookies that's how AMAZING everything is. moist cookies and they aren't cheap with the raspberry jelly and that's what matters most to me when getting rainbow cookies.

    Joanna D.

    Definitely the best rainbow cookies I've ever had but their hours are just horrible, I'm surprised they get any business with their hours. They also do not have a phone number for ordering, only can order through online social media which is very frustrating. Would love to order again but a bakery that's only open until 2 on a Saturday and 12 on a Sunday is almost impossible.

    Very cute, bright and sophisticated French bakery that operates more like a cafe. I don't expect…read moreplaces like this in my hometown, so I was happy surprised when I was looking for a place to meet a colleague that was close to my father's house. And they have a few vegan options! Don't expect macarons nor tarts, but that blueberry croissant I had was so delicious. It was more of a whole grain pastry than a traditional buttery croissant but because the blueberry filling was so sweet, I was happy for a less decadent pastry. I love that they have a nice array of coffee and matcha drinks too. I'm pretty sure the word has been out for some time now, but when that Starbucks line in the parking lot is just too much, The French Workshop is a better option (however, on a rainy Saturday in May, that line inside was considerable. People know what's good!) There's plenty of seating, too and if you are good at pretending, you almost feel you're in Europe (ignore the suburban strip mall that surrounds you).

    I wanted so much to like Francesco's. It was our first time visiting and the bakery held an old…read moreschool charm, but after trying a variety of items, a 2.5 seems most fitting. The displays were filled with a nice variety of butter cookies, cakes, doughnuts and other classic pastries. Everything "looked" good, but the taste was just average. I would have pushed it to a 3 star review, but the young man behind the counter wasn't very friendly. The store was as empty when we went in so it wasn't like he was busy trying to take orders quickly. We told the young man that we would be ordering a variety of butter cookies and he looked at us annoyed and continued to serve us with a similar attitude. I guess maybe this is the expected service from the generation nowadays? I just expected more from a place that appeared so charming. The rainbow cookies seem to have anise in it, which is a bit odd for a rainbow cookies, and the chocolate coating was not very cocoa forward. It was also lacking jam. We were also really excited about the chocolate sandwiched butter cookies, but while the cookie itself was fresh, the ganache was missing the rich chocolatey flavor. Instead, it almost tasted like carob or some sort of diluted chocolate instead. The cookies itself were also not buttery enough, though they did taste freshly baked. All in all, Francesco isn't something to write home about and it's not a place I'd visit again.

    Francesco's Bakery NEVER delivered our wedding cake…read more We ordered our wedding cake from Francesco's and called two days in advance to confirm delivery. The staff assured us it would arrive early, around 11:00 a.m. However, by 1:00 p.m. on our wedding day, the cake still hadn't arrived. When we called the bakery, they told us they couldn't get in touch with the driver. It took another hour before they realized the driver never had the cake and that it had been left at the bakery the entire time. At that point, it was around 2:30 p.m. Not only was this incredibly frustrating, but it also caused unnecessary stress on our wedding day--something no couple should have to deal with. Unfortunately, we had to pick up the wedding cake ourselves. Since then, we've spent the past week trying to get in contact with someone to address what happened, with no success. I asked for the owner's phone number and left a voicemail two days ago, but still haven't received any response. Overall, this was a VERY disappointing experience. I would NOT recommend anyone to order from this bakery.
