We opted for Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake…read more Okay, so you know how a lot of cakes these days look amazing, but when you bite into it you're underwhelmed? Well, that is NOT the case with Baked by Emily Rose. Not only did we love the cake, but several of our guests said that it was the best wedding cake they've ever had. Also, the cakes were gorgeous. Emily used real white roses to garnish the top. It looked amazing. My only regret is that we were unable to take pictures. Emily, if you're reading this, you're doing the same cake for us on our anniversary! 5/5 - Absolutely recommended.

Patsy's is without a doubt, an absolute gem- and in a geographic location known for outstanding…read moreItalian food, bakeries, and pastries, etc....Patsy's more than holds their own. First off- they without a doubt, hands down, have the best rainbow cookies ever. They are the measuring stick I use to gauge all others, and I've yet to find a comparable match, or one that approaches. I stopped by this afternoon to grab a couple pounds, and the quality, taste, price were just how they were when I last had them...exceptional. While the rainbow cookies are certainly amazing, Patsy's is no one trick pony. They have a huge selection of tasty cookies, cakes, pastries, cannoli, fresh bread, Italian ice, and a host of other treats. The ambiance can best be described as that place where you go and instantly feel comfortable....you feel at home, like a regular- even on your first trip. Go on a Tuesday and it feels like a Sunday morning when everyone is going in early to grab bread for the evening's dinner. It's that place, and it's perfect. The service at Patsy's is impeccable. I was there at 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon, and there were at least 4-5 workers behind the counter masterfully taking orders, boxing and wrapping goodies, and ensuring all customers needs were met quickly with minimal waiting. Whether you're local to Lindenhurst or Long Island, or from far away and just in the mood for a great bakery (and rainbow cookie!) experience...you have to give Patsy's a try. You won't be disappointed!

We got married last year and we are STILL getting compliments from our guests about how amazing our…read morewedding cake was, and rightfully so!! We did a complimentary tasting with Pedro to decide what flavors would best represent us in cake form and it was such a cute experience. We decided on a quilted 4 tier cake with white buttercream filled with vanilla mousse and dulce de leche. The flavors were absolutely perfect and the cake was so visually appealing. I'm drooling just thinking about it lol. Thank you for creating such an unforgettably delicious and truly beautiful cake for our winter wonderland wedding!

Unfortunately, the visit did not meet the level of cleanliness, professionalism, and personal…read moreattention that we are looking for as we were making a decision for my daughter's wedding. When we arrived, we noticed flies inside the bakery, as well as a spill on the floor. We were then asked to sit directly in front of the area where the spill was located, which was uncomfortable given the circumstances. In addition, our interaction with a staff mmbr felt very rushed. She spoke extremely quickly, and the presentation came across as somewhat rehearsed and impersonal. We understand that she may have been trying to efficiently walk us through the process, but we were hoping for more of a personal consultation and a genuine sense of care and enthusiasm for such an important part of the wedding. The place needs an all around makeover. Btw, The cake was plain and the frosting was nothing to brag about.

I had ordered a birthday cake two days ahead of pick up time in late March. I ordered a whlte half…read moresheet cake with butter cream frosting. I had ordered blue birthday frosting decorations. Well, upon pick up I opened the box to inspect. It all looked good but the decorating could have been a little more. I mean not to question their strengths or weakness, but it could have used a little fluff rather than just a cluster of blue roses in the in upper left corner and Happy Birthday A_____w. It was half sheet cake with lots of space to work with. Anyways, when it came time to cut the cake for service, the cake crumbled under the weight of the knife. I was overseeing the process and the cake cutter was trying his best to achieve a decent portion intact, but with litte success. I immediately tasted the cake before it went my 40 person party. It was moist and flavorful but it crumbled to the touch. I couldn't put my finger on what was causing it, I felt like something was maybe missing from the recipe. It was later in the day when it came to me the answer to my problem. The cake it self had been made fresh, then frozen, thawed out, frosted and decorated. The freezing of the cake made it crumble at time of service. Very disappointing. I didn't last minute order this cake, so why they used frozen cake for my order I cannot understand. Convenience for them I guess, but I was not informed that previously frozen cake would be an option. Each and every piece of cake just crumbled on the plate and presentation was horrible. We were stuck with an inferior cake. I will not be returning to this bakery.

We go on great Italian bakery hunts whenever we go into NY. We visited a bakery earlier in the day…read morethat will remained nameless here, and had disappointing pastries. Our main goal is always to find a fabulous cannoli- they failed- but Capri did not. Capri had delicious cannolis! We bought two big boxes of cannolis and ate them for three days after we drove back to our home state. We also bought a box of an assortment of pastries and cookies. They tasted good every day. We would definitely return. We didn't give 5 starts because the bakery itself lacks a little quaintness and magic. It's a bit generic and bland and could use some refreshing and imagination.

This is a small and quaint bakery so it is a take out place just FYI. They have long hours usually 6:30 AM to 7pm on weekdays.

A perk here is you can order for delivery if you do not live locally! Check out their website!
