    Chocolate chip
    Avi S.

    My favorite place to get baked treats in the tri-state area!! If you are in the mood for amazing baked goods, or even to prepare an order for an upcoming event, Lex is the one to call!! I ordered some things for my office and everyone was in awe at the quality, taste, and love put into everything. I wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars!

    Monster Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Andrea G.

    I think the photos speak for themselves but these gigantic cookies were one of my favorite cookies I've had in NYC, and I've tried an endless amount. I personally enjoyed these cookies more than Levain Bakery. They were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside with the perfect balance of salty and sweet! Lex is so kind, responsive and friendly and she makes the most amazing baked goods!

    Oreo Donuts

    I have ordered several items from Alexa. I absolutely love her Challah bread but today I got her Oreo donuts and all I can say is she did NOT disappoint. These were so tasty and perfect with moisture and so TASTY!!!! If you are looking for a local baker who bakes with passion and will deliver to you look no further. Alexa and her baking are amazing!!!

    The "sweetheart" wedding cake Lex made for our wedding! Vanilla and almond flavored cake. Perfection!

    Stopped by to grab a couple cakes for a party. Got parking easily a couple blocks away on one of…read morethe residential streets. We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

    This bakery is amazing--everything is made in-house, and it always smells incredible when you walk…read morein. A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

    3.5 stars. TLDR - good service, but iffy about the food (maybe we came too late)…read more.. $7 - mini flans (ube, coconut pandan, mango, thai tea) $10 - "bigger" flan (ube only) $30 - 7 inch flan cake (ube only) $50 - 9 inch flan cake (pre-order only) $12 - halo halo $5 - various iced drinks, boba, lattes $3 - madelines (for 3 pcs) The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking (we got the lemonade). They are famous for their flan cake mix. The ones in the cooler were just alright. The flan was more of a custard texture (away from jiggly jello) which was good. However, the bottom cake layers had subtle flavors and were a bit stale. The flan tastes better when its fresh and not refrigerated though. Compared to other customer's pictures, I think the issue was that there was not much caramel sauce on the plate. there was not much liquid on the bottom of the plate so the cakes did not look moist for most of our flans. The halo halo was a bit small in size for $12 (jar is similar to a overnight oats serving size). ive seen other places price it at $8-10 for that size. Overall, it was a miss for me for my first time. Service was nice though. they did let us stay 20 mins past closing.

    We stopped by here for dessert since it was my birthday and close to the restaurant we celebrated…read moremy birthday at. We got the ube flan, ube Madeline's, ube cookie. We loved all 3! My husband and myself are particularly in returning to get their ube flan. It was amazing! Beautiful space! Service took a while but not too bad bc it's just one counter and only two person working at that time.

    Came back here after some time away. They didn't have the flan by itself anymore unless you bought…read morea big one. Not sure if they ran out of the small ones or just don't sell those anymore. I got the flan cheesecake instead and it was good though! I was skeptical but the two does work well together. I also got the berry napoleon and while the whipped cream is light, I prefer a custard and the layers to be crispier. I did get their butter cookies for the first time, and they were good. Parisi bakery still have the best ones in my opinion. I got the Italian cheesecake which I always do, and I think I like this refrigerated more. There doesn't seem to be a difference between cash and credit anymore.

    I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

    Ordered the milo milk bubble tea. I haven't had milo in decades! The service was very efficient…read more The bubbles weren't your traditional black round bubbles. These were translucent brown rectangles, and had the consistency of a firm jello. It was delicious. I would recommend it.

    As stated before, I finally came back to try the savory foods from Tea Cup Cafe!…read more Starting off, my fiancé ordered the Crispy Fish. The sauce that was served was absolutely delicious with the signature tanginess and sweetness of Thai food. The hot pot that I ordered was also enjoyed to the fullest! The food here was super good but also I love liver so I was glad they had a hot pot option that included that! After a delicious meal, we finished off with the mango bingsu which also was a huge hit! The bingsu was super fluffy and light! This meal was definitely worth it and didn't leave me feeling super heavy. The service was also great even though they were always full house with some parties waiting and only one person serving. I will be back next time to try their Thai barbecue which I saw people having and I could stop looking at! On top of all this, the server or manager even gave me a free Melona ice cream which I paired with the bingsoo after he saw that I was pregnant which I thought was super sweet. I don't live too far from here so I also want to add that even though I have not added a review, I always go to this restaurant to grab a coconut Thai milk tea to go (I am not even a huge Thai tea fan)! For some reason, I love the coconut thai tea from here and always find myself craving it.

I placed an order through her site and I got an email back the next day and we took it from there. Karen is so sweet and very professional, she contacted me confirming details of delivery the day before and she delivered the cake HERSELF the day of my birthday and gave me instructions on storage until the time of my event. Such amazing service! When I opened the cake I was blown away, it was absolutely perfect. Karen was so attentive to the details I wanted, I have this teddy bear I run an instagram for and she made him as a topper, it was SOOOO CUTE!!! On top of that, the dreamy design on the front of the cake was really beautiful. I ordered the earl grey flavor cake 6" petite, I highly recommend this flavor it was so delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful, the buttercream was nice and light, slightly aromatic with the scent of tea. I'm SO happy I ordered my birthday cake from Karen, she's made the perfect cake in so many ways and I've fallen in love with her work. Definitely recommend!
