Who knew?! As an avid follower of their Instagram account @thecookieshopli, I stumbled upon the…read morefact that they actually have a storefront tucked away in a strip mall not too far from me. It was their IG post inviting followers to come down and grab a free slice of their vintage meringue cake that made me come to their storefront realization. That aside, this cute little cookie shop specializing in macarons, cookies, tarts and cakes. Upon entering, it's got a very warm, welcoming vibe. The friendly owner was there creating a beautiful masterpiece and happy to chat answering my questions about their menu. Everything looked so beautiful. I was given my free slice of vintage meringue cake and I purchased two macarons. I got creme brûlée and white chocolate raspberry. They were both yummy. I'll be honest in that little treats are a bit pricey for my everyday budget, but I can see splurging for special occasions. I would also consider ordering a cake for a special occasion. Their presentation is on point.

The rolls had about one cherry piece inside and were quite dry like day old or more pastry. These rolls were $8 each and for that price, I expected something filled with cherries and fresh but instead, they tasted like a prepackaged roll from the grocery store. I am including a picture of the cherry custard roll which is sliced open to show the lack of fruit..... I hope the cupcakes for tomorrow will be much better!

Now, where do I begin regarding the food? The baguettes are sooo good, freshly baked, perfectly crunchy on the outside and light and airy on the inside. The pastries are incredible, and there is always a wide variety of choices! The only downside, if you can call it that, is that you need to get there early because they sell out quickly! I'm a longtime happily satisfied customer!

We've been to Alpine Pastry Shop several times over the years, and it has never disappointed…read more The bakery is located in a large shopping center with a huge parking lot, but finding a spot close to the store can still be challenging during busy times. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the quality has always justified the cost in our experience. One thing that stands out is how helpful the staff is. They're always willing to answer questions and help you choose something based on your preferences, which is especially helpful given the large selection. On this visit, we tried four Rainbow Cookie Donuts and four Cannoli Rainbow Cookie Donuts. While both were delicious, the clear favorite among our group was the Cannoli Rainbow Cookie Donut. The regular Rainbow Cookie Donuts were very tasty but extremely sweet, while the cannoli version had a better balance of flavors and was more enjoyable overall. Whether we're picking up pastries for a special occasion or just stopping in for a treat, Alpine consistently delivers fresh, high-quality desserts. It's become one of our go-to bakeries on Long Island, and we look forward to coming back.

I wish we had a spot like this in south Florida. I definitely bought more than I needed but it was…read moreso worth it to bring these tasty treats back to Florida with me. I tried their viral rainbow cookie donut and rainbow pignoli nut cookie. They seriously were the best of both worlds, the rainbow cookie and donut combo is perfection. While everything was so delicious and I wanted one of everything, I couldn't for the prices. They are on the higher end but it was worth it for a one time experience. Also, the staff was not the friendliest. They seemed they didn't want to be bothered when I asked for recommendations. We were the only customers until 1 other came in after us. Otherwise everything was great.

My last visit (Friday afternoon) I ordered a Medium Wintermelon Milk Tea (you can get it without the milk), Grilled Chicken Garlic Noodles and a Grilled Shrimp Rice Bowl. Everything was delicious and very flavorful though I felt the Garlic Noodles were a bit on the saltier side and the Wintermelon Milk Tea was a bit too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth). There were a lot of flavorful chicken pieces and the shrimp came with about 7-8 pieces, also very flavorful. They have 3 different sauces that I was given since I was eating there and just returned it to the counter once done. My favorite of the 3 was the more liquidy one though they all tasted great. The place is located in a strip mall with a lot of free parking. There's some seating inside and one small table outside. It's spacious and clean. They have great background music playing and their unisex bathroom is spacious and clean as well. The food came out in a reasonable time and the staff (I'm assuming maybe the owners) were also very pleasant.

When I asked my daughter, "when did that get there?" She responded, "it's new and I hear it's pretty good. We should try it if you're in the mood for bubble tea." Once inside, there is nice seating if you are looking to sit a bit. Looking up at the many choices on the board, the folks behind the counter immediately asked if we were ready to order or needed assistance. As I inquired about the differences between the drinks I was torn between, my knowledgeable server thoughtfully explained the drinks and how I could also customize my sweetness level. The high level of customer service for a mall shop was quite refreshing and more of a reason I would come back. I ultimately chose Sweet Sunshine: mangos and lychee mixed with jasmine green tea, with lychee jelly. If you're in the Smithhaven mall looking for a bubble tea, I'd recommend stopping in and giving Black Pearl Bubble Tea a try. My drink was served up quickly with a smile. Upon receipt, it looked so yummy and I was so excited to try it that I forgot to take a photo. It wasn't till I was half way through and in the car that I remembered.

I'm not one to write bad reviews but this place is definitely off my list. Local to home I figured…read moreI'd try it out since Alpine had a line out the door on Saturday afternoon before Father's Day. Initially we had ordered two rolls and was told no we ordered three so we shrugged it off. I'd also like to note we were paying with a debit card and it's slightly cheapest with cash. The black and white cookie looked delicious so I opted to get one of those. When being rung up we had sticker shock. $9.31 for 1 large black and white cookie. When I said something about it the girl said she'd put it back but we felt bad so we said "no that's okay." because we both felt awkward and it must be pretty special. The apple turnover was $5.20 and lacking apples. We actually threw it in the garbage after 2 bites. All in all the items were not good and not very fresh tasting in our opinion but to each is their own. I honestly with all due respect feel some places are really price gouging since the pandemic. I get that people lost businesses and all but this place is less than a year old and the prices were not justified and not worth it might I add. I wish them all the luck in the world but don't have high expectations for this place. Sorry.
