"Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro's bakery, known for a variety of cookies, cannoli & elaborate cakes.
Had a friend that really wanted to visit here and overall I enjoyed what I ordered. I got a Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake. It was really rich, sweet, with lots of different textures. It was almost like eating a peanut butter cup but with Dubai chocolate flavors and cheesecake. I definitely wasn't able to eat it all in one sitting but definitely a good option for someone who loves sweets. My other party members really enjoyed what they purchased (think they got canolis). Happy that I got the chance

📍 Benji’s Buns, West Village NYC Okay… updating my original review because I went back for Mother’s Day and this time got the 6-pack 👀 I went around 10:30 on a Sunday morning and surprisingly there was no line, which was a huge win 🙌 After trying more flavors, I can confidently say the specialty buns are definitely where Benji’s shines ✨ Some of these were REALLY good.

We arrived early on a Saturday morning to get bagels before our flight left. This cute little shop instantly captured our attention just based on the delicious smell of freshly made bagels. We asked for some recommendations from the server and she was very helpful. They have quite a favorite of bagels, but we were also impressed by the variety of cream cheese options. Everything we ordered was delicious. We loved it all.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock most New Yorkers have at least heard of, if not experienced Magnolia Bakery. I tried them today after not visiting for a few years simply because I know they are always there down the block from my office. I agree with a few of the reviews when it comes to their money maker the Banana Pudding. It’s changed over the years and not the chunky, hearty dessert year I remember as it seems like they are cutting corners on the ingredients. In this economy I can’t

Been a few times and everything I've tried is great. Not too sweet, and super unique! The matcha Souffle, mochi donut, salt bread bagel and jam jars are my top picks on the menu. The matcha Souffle was fun and instagramable, but it wasn't worth coming back for. I would return for more mochi donuts and salt bread bagels. Though they display the bagel is only available until 11am, sometimes they do offer it afterwards, so be sure to ask at the register. The butter is perfect and reminds me of the

Venerable outfit offering its famed cannoli & other Italian desserts, plus espresso, since 1892.
Walking into Ferrara Bakery & Cafe felt like stepping into a classic piece of old New York Italian culture that somehow still survives in the middle of modern Manhattan. The moment you walk through the doors, you’re hit with the smell of espresso, pastries, sugar, fresh cannoli, and that unmistakable old-school bakery atmosphere that immediately makes the place feel warm, alive, and authentic. What I loved most is that Ferrara doesn’t feel manufactured for tourists — it feels like a place with

I took my girlfriend to try what are, in my opinion, the best cookies in all of New York, and it was an absolute success. We went there mainly because of the social media hype and, surprisingly, it was 100% worth it. The cookies are always freshly baked, warm, and perfectly thick on the inside. We tried the original cookie and the triple chocolate with dark chocolate, both of them incredible and exactly as good as everyone says. We also had a specialty coffee to go with them, which was a great

Straightforward, neighborhood outpost for grab-&-go bagels, sandwiches & java drinks.
A friend told me I had to try this place while visiting NY, and it definitely lived up to the name of the spot (I even tried a few other bagels nearby to compare). Plenty of bagel option, including gluten-free, plus a wide variety of cream cheese flavors, sandwiches, and loaded bagels. I ordered The Jack Special on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, and it was flavorful and filling. Service was quick, even with a long line… just be ready with your order when you get to the counter.

I was visiting from Chicago and stopped by Martha's Bakery in Forest Hills after hearing good things about their desserts. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegan options available. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's not always easy to find a bakery with such a strong selection of vegan treats, so that was a big plus. The bakery itself has a warm, inviting atmosphere and is a great place to sit and enjoy coffee and dessert. The only downside wa

Sad to see fall be gone, wish fall weather could just stay forever. Venieros is a really great place for some Italian desserts. It is authentic and the pastries taste delicious! The pastries have a rich and authentic taste to it. It’s also not too expensive. They go by the pound, and you can try a variety of different pastries. The fruit tart, eclair, and cannoli came out to be $2 each, while the cheese cake was $6. The cheese cake and pastries tasted really good. Overall, the pastries were real

Visited Magnolia Bakery in the West Village while in Manhattan, and this spot absolutely lived up to the hype.

We ordered the classic Banana Pudding along with the Carrot Cake Pudding, and both were incredible. The Banana Pudding was super creamy, light, and full of fresh banana flavor. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and texture, and you can immediately understan

I usually get their small fruit tarts which is one of my favorites, so I had my boyfriend preorder a 10in for my mother for Mother’s Day… we were so disappointed. The cake had a thicker than normal layer at the bottom, which tasted raw. Not enough custard to balance out the fruits or the base. I felt as if I was eating a raw cookie with a bunch of fruits on top. More effort could have been put into it.

I got it today. I was very excited because it was going to be a "pasalubong" for my trip to the Philippines, and it really disappointed me. I held onto it all the way home to see the cookies and take a picture, but when I opened it, there were only 11 pieces when I had ordered 12 pieces, which is what is supposed to be in a Party box. The lady recommended me not to get the cookie with Ice cream on top as it will melt through out the trip. I will never go back to that store again. Very disappoint

Ess-a-Bagel is a true NYC classic! Very tasty bagels with generous portions that actually leave you full. The ingredients tasted fresh, the bagels had great texture, and everything was packed properly without being stingy. You can immediately understand why this place is so famous — it delivers that authentic New York bagel experience. Busy atmosphere, fast-moving energy, and food that lives up to the hype. Definitely worth the stop if you are in New York and want a proper bagel done right.

The cozy, rustic-chic atmosphere feels warm and inviting perfect for a relaxed morning coffee or a sweet treat after dinner. Their fruit tarts are legendary fresh, buttery, and piled high with seasonal berries. The cheesecake is creamy and rich without being too heavy, and the red velvet cake? To die for

Love the vibes and that they have Methodical coffee, but noticed that many of the tables are unbused and dirty. My iced matcha latte was pretty good but it took them a while to make our drinks and I saw the barista argue with a customer that they didn’t order their drink iced. Baristas could have had a better attitude.

Levain Bakery absolutely lives up to the hype. After hearing so much about their cookies, I went in with high expectations and somehow they still exceeded them. The cookies are simply incredible: perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and gooey in the center, rich without being overly sweet, and packed with flavor in every bite. They're substantial, indulgent, and somehow manage to feel both comforting and unforgettable at the same time. I've had cookies from countless bakeries, but Levain's are

Her energy and attentiveness really stood out — she confirmed everything and our food came out in minutes. Carolina’s service is the reason I’ll keep coming back. A1. If you are in the area and decide to come here. Ask to be seated in her section. You won’t be disappointed. Happy Customer ❤️

Famous for their Banana Pudding! I’ve always loved their banana pudding. Came to this location to grab their standard pudding and also the pistachio banana pudding, which was a great change in taste and texture. Tried their mini cupcakes, which were decent. Did not have a good experience with the lady at the banana pudding bar, as she was a bit rude. Otherwise, no issues. A bit of a line, but expected. Price is a little bit high but reasonable for the brand.

Other flavors we got were s’mores and chocolate glazed with sprinkles (go Knicks!). One of my family members wanted cinnamon and they didn’t have that on display but the servers were kind enough to dip a donut in cinnamon sugar and give him what he asked for! They also had bar stool seats which were awesome. It also has to be the most

These qualities are becoming increasingly rare in the service industry. Karen’s disposition was the same for all the tables near me. If Karen isn’t at her top salary range she needs her raise.

Good lord. This was the best breakfast sandwich/bagel ive ever had. Stuffed bagel with egg cheese and sausage. Amazing. I got the last vegan stuffed bagel and then they slapped a sold out sign. It was about 1230pm on a thursday when I ordered so try to get there before then! Inside is quite small with only 4 seats. Luckily the weather was nice so I sat at a table outside.

This review is specifically in regard to their oxtail omelette . I was so excited to try it as I’ve heard good things from people who’ve tried it at the other ihop location that does it. But it was disgusting. Majority of the pieces had huge chunks of fat in it throughout the omelette (as pictured) and the entire thing was inedible as a result of that. It’s so expensive for it to taste so horrible . I do not recommend!

I did find the two chip chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookie to be too chocolatey and sweet for my preference.
