I chose the cheesecake almond toffee cone and the rainbow cookie cheesecake and both were very good. I found them both to be a tad bit too sweet but they are sweets, after all. The almond toffee cone is a really ingenious idea and I loved the idea of the crust of the other cheesecake being rainbow cookies. I'll definitely be back to try other things in the future.
ordered a half sheet cake for my wife's retirement party and everyone coul stop talking about how great the cake was. chocolate cake with fresh cut bananas and whipped cream! great job Ciro's thanks for adding to a memorable evening!!!
The best Italian bakery I've ever been to! Their Pinole nut cookies are really incredible. I've tried other Italian bakeries all over Brooklyn and Queens. Can't hold a candle to these! Maria does a spectacular job!
During my late teenage years my baby sister worked here afterschool so you know this was totally nostalgic for me to be passing by the area early on an Easter morning ride back from NJ. As I got closer I called because it was a holiday and absolutely delighted to be helped on such a beautiful day in the neighborhood. **They are cash only** Several cars were doubled parked towards the end of the block picking up flowers so I parked a few doors down and stepped inside. They had a beautiful tray of assorted pastries which I failed to take a photo of and I just HAD to have it. It had cannoli, cheese cake, cream puffs the works! I was looking for a birthday cake for my Puerto Rican granny and chose an Oreo cake over a strawberry shortcake and surprisingly I did not get clobbered over the head by my mother lol. She looked unpleased when I removed it from the box but when she ate it. I was like bang boom TOUCHDOWN! She said it was soft and moist and fluffy and light. The chocolate had the perfect amount of sweetness I must agree. Plus I already won when I brought home some Easter bread for the family to share. The only comment I got there was why didn't I buy a bigger loaf. I bought a cute little slipper shaped one with one egg and they had many options which was great. I see folks were coming in and out for cappuccinos and if I wasn't already wire from an early morning drive I would have Indulged. The cake was $25, the tray $20 and the Easter bread was about $10 if I can recall. I had 3 baby shower cakes from here 17 years ago and that's how good they were then. Super happy to see them still thriving and pumping out the good stuff. Only thing I will say is what's with the writing? I was hoping for classic script and the weekend crew gave me a very scribble "Gramma" in red. My family was like why did they spell it like that. Me- I was shocked like who buys a cake and doesn't look at it after they put in the writing was I in Lala land or what. Next time I'll check.
Excellent pastries, great coffee, and beautiful store. We got LOTS of goodies here. Favorites were cannoli and sticky buns. Even my daughter's ridiculous coffee monstrosity was able to be recreated here--which is saying something. Excellent place and open early for those of us with kids who don't know what vacation means.
Ordered a strawberry shortcake for a birthday. Overall the cake was pretty tasty, not too sweet. Thought it was kind of weird to decorate the cake with little chocolate nibs, and thought that the cake and lettering could be a little prettier.
My surprise birthday cake from this bakery .... and I must say it was one of the best cakes I've ever had , so moist , fresh and beautifully decorated . #AMAZING !!!
This place smells SO GOOD. Came in here with a few friends after eating next door. The staff members were very professional and fast. There was a wide assortment of cookies and cakes to choose from. I've never seen a bakery with so many different options of the jelly cookies that are half dipped in chocolate. (my favorite) This is the perfect cookie heaven to go to! I also really loved their rainbow cookies. There are a few tables and couches in the front for people to wait in. Parking is a bit difficult outside, but it is worth finding parking for!
