Buono Bakery is a Staten Island institution loved for their delicious baked goods. I love stopping by here everytime I'm on the island to indulge in their classic Italian treats. There is so much variety to choose from. They have several cases of freshly churned out desserts, cookies, cakes, pastries and everything in between. The space is small but what a delight to be in! Staff is super friendly and service is efficient. I highly recommend stopping by here and get your hands on their Italian cookies which are my favorite. Very cute Valentine's Day display as well, with reasonably priced and gorgeous cakes and desserts perfect for the occasion. read more

Always consistent and good service. Good selection of pastries. Been going here for years.

There cakes,pastries, cookies are excellent and the price is right. The people that work there are very friendly and the owners are pleasant

Buono Bakery on Hylan Blvd is far better than any other bakery I've ever gone to. I see the list of the top 10, been to them all. In my opinion they don't compare to Buono Bakery. My family has been going there for 40 years. Never disappointed. If you are chocoholic, you must try their BLACKOUT CAKE. Service is excellent. their shop is always clean and the fresh smell of their baked goodies makes you want one of everything! read more

There are so many positive words to use for this bakery to describe how delicious the treat are here, but the one I will use is "perfect"!!! Nothing better than having a nice come of coffee and a pignoli cookie from Buono!! read more

I've been to this bakery twice and both times were very poor experiences. The first time I had to order a cake. The women kept going into the back to get my questions answered. She went back forth back forth 5 times. Finally, another woman came out in a huff. Woah... relax. I was half going to leave but then she calmed down took my order for the cake. The cake red velvet and when I tasted it, it was both so sweet and so dry I had to spit it into a napkin. The cake was just awful and a complete waste. No one ate it except the birthday person who requested it. Can't give it one star, I have to give two Bc it's a small business. I'd love to come back and support it if the product and customer service drastically improves. read more

My favorite Bakery !! The service is amazing , the bakery is immaculate and I love that the baker actually comes out to say Hi! The strawberry shortcake is my favorite but my husband would say the pineapple cheesecake is his. read more

This bakery is a real underrated gem. It's a small bakery but it punches above its weight. My girlfriend got me a seven layer cake, and it was perfect. Just the right amount of sweet. The cookies are always a hit whenever I go over people's houses. And the bread is the type you reminisce about. Customer service is great. The staff is always welcoming and pleasant. read more

Had a request for a Zuppa Inglese cake, something that bakiers no longer make. The women on the phone knew just what I was speaking aboout and advised that she could make it however I wanted with whatever topping and filling. It was perfect and delicious. Just like I remember... Thanks for making it easy and even more so thanks for making it delicious! read more

They sold me a strawberry shortcake and there was mold on it. Came back next day cause that was the soonest I could get there, and showed them the picture and they didn't give a refund. Just go to Royal Crown if you want a quality cake with no issues. read more

Love this bakery. Super friendly. Our wedding venue provided the cake from here. We were a bit nervous since we never tried it before hand. Cannoli cream filling with strawberries. Delicious! We even saved a piece frozen for a year and ate it on our anniversary and it was still good! read more

Their cheesecake gets 2 thumbs up One easy question posed to the counter girl regarding another cake, what kind of filling is inside that cake? Response, I don't know, then she chuckled ha, ha, ha. Counter person not in the least knowledgeable regarding their products, and it shows ... youngsters. Therefore what you see here is what you get. I stuck with the cheesecake. You can see the toppings yourself. 5 stars for the cheesecake. I still don't know what was inside the cake I wanted to try, so no sale. Zero stars for the IDK read more

where they not only have the best stuff... but they know how to take care of people !!! usually when you write a review you write things like you have to try this or you must get that... i've been coming here for years and there isn't one thing i don't like ! so it comes down to this ... you gotta try...everything !!! all the italian goodies you know and mom's apple pie. (which is awesome btw) too !!! read more

I ordered my cake and cupcakes from Buono Bakery for my baby shower. Everything was perfectly made, fresh and delicious. All my guests raved about the cake (vanilla cake with French filling and chocolate moose with rosette decorations) they loved it soo much that they made extra orders the next day for their events! I am very picky about my vendors and I am glad I chose Buono Bakery for my desert table! Thank you Buono Bakery! Keep up the good work! read more

The cakes I get from here are always stale and way too sweet. But more importantly, girl at desk told me there was no rum in the cake however there was. They refused to give me a refund. Never coming back to this bakery read more

The st Joseph pastry was great. But they were small for the price. They should have kept them the same size as last year.

I've been here several times for cookies and cakes during the holidays and other family occasions. Each time, I haven't been disappointed. One of the best cakes I've bought from here was the Oreo Cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious. Their cookie platters are also great. I stopped by once on Christmas Eve in the early afternoon and there was a very long line as I expected. However, they had free coffee and cookies in the front for everyone waiting on line which I thought was nice. This bakery is a little out of the way for me since I live a few miles south but I keep returning because their pastries are incredible. The picture below is a beautiful red velvet cake my husband got for me to celebrate my master's degree. read more

In my quest for Staten islands best Cannoli this was the clear winner for me (sorry Alfonso's you've been fired). I've ordered a few cakes for birthdays here and they are always well received. I haven't ordered a cake in about a year because they are quite expensive (like all Staten Island bakeries) so I've had to make my own cakes but in a pinch I would defiantly come here for my cake read more

Here's my review. We've been there TODAY half of an hour ago. Bought pies and pastry. Girl working in bakery said our total is $92. After she saw we are surprised she said sorry it's $55. After we asked her for the receipt she was nervous (which means she knew she was lying)... but she gave the receipt. Then we recalculated piece by piece and voila: the real amount is 40 bucks. Looks like she earn good "tips" on regular basis. And finally she didn't even apologize and wasn't nice at all. 4 stars to bakery and minus 3 stars to employee = 1 star read more

This was my first time here with my boyfriend although my boyfriend comes here often. He has always mentioned how the girls there are super rude but the pastries are good. So I decided to come for the first time and I must agree with him. We were not greeted the right way and when we order our cakes not even a thank you for coming or anything like that. I am super disappointed. read more

My Wedding cake looked NOTHING like I wanted , it was so sloppy and looked horrible. I'm so upset. It also was very dry inside , not satisfied at all. read more

My uncle with his big heart, purchase a custom made cake with a very old picture of my mom when she was two. My uncle is a big fan of this place and brags about there dessert. I know it's located in Staten Island but he came all the way to Brooklyn just to put a smile on her face. One slice of the cake was more then enough. Creamy and just the perfect amount of sweet. The cropping of the picture was just perfect and made her cry.. She was a happy customer! read more

Very expensive compared to other pastry shops in the area. As an example, the Easter cake was $22 compared to $12 just a few blocks away

I bought a pound of vanilla/chocolate cookies (they look like gingerbread men a bit) and they were really awful compared to other places I've bought them. I can't pinpoint it but there's an oily/greasy taste to them, almost overcooked, that lingers in the back of your mouth - it's not pleasant. Service was prompt and the girls were courteous, I guess it depends on the day you're there looking at the other reviews of this place. It's a shame since I do like to support local bakeries but Bruno's further up Hylan Blvd has a much better selection and the cookies taste like they're supposed to. read more

Not sure why businesses dont understand how important customer service is, the girls in the front are clueless diane from the back is super rude, she rather turn away business than answer questions about her products. Bought a birthday cake through a caterer, frosting was sloppy and it was cracked. This is suprising as she said cakes were made the same day as the affair. Ordered miniature pastries to be delivered the same time as the cake and the chocolate was melted and the cream seemed a bit stale. When i called to confirm the order which was prepaid , again girl answering the phone was clueless, also heard diane yelling in background. Rather go to royal crown. read more

One of my favorite bakeries. I love their seasonal treats. Great cookies and cakes. They have really good homemade chocolates.

AMAZING! I fell in love with the first bite of cheesecake + brownie during a birthday party. I need to visit and try everything else read more

A perennial favorite .... an Italian American institution on Staten Island ... Frank's the best ... the girls up front are sweet .... the biscotti and pastries are all they should be .... the sesame seed Regina cookies terrific , quarasemale almond biscotti, hard and crunch, are as good as any of the best in NYC and the fig crescent cookies , they melt in your mouth .... highly recommend .... the best huge rum babas, my favorite ... well , it's all my favorite .... great honest Italian baking no pretense .... great people.

Been coming here for over 30 years Best Italian/American Bakery on Staten Island. Their pastries and cakes are all top notch. You will not be disappointed! read more

Small but nice neighborhood bakery. Their muffins and cupcakes are delicious - great for breakfast or late snack!

weee! cheesecake! weee! cupcakes! weee! cannolis! weee! birthday cakes! weee! Italian cookies! affordable, delicious and a lot nicer than most Italian Bakeries i've been too... i'd say Buono is a great place. their service can get a little spotty sometimes because of all the young HS Italian chicks who work there. for the most part, they're nice--- but i've heard a few "huff" and "puffs" whenever i change my mind about what to get. read more

I was not happy at all. When I walked in, both girls behind the counter had their heads down doing whatever on their mobile phones. I had to approach the girl to tell her what I wanted. I was not acknowledged by either of them until I acknowledged them. I was the only one in the store! The cupcakes were stale, the cream puff and eclair cream was very stiff and not tasty at all. The only item that was edible was the cannoli. Sorry.... Never again. read more

So I ordered a Birthday cake from this bakery on October 13th well in advance of when I needed for Tuesday, October 17. I wanted a specific theme on this Cassada Birthday cake. I proceeded to give the clerk on the phone all the instruction right down to the color of the icing used for the writing of Happy Birthday. When I arrived today, nobody was in the shop other than a young woman behind the counter and said I had ordered a Birthday Cake and she proceeded to the case where ordered items were stored. She showed me this generic cake with summery yellow roses with electric blue icing for the writing that DID NOT look like anything that I had ordered. I asked if they could redecorate the cake but this other olive skinned person came out and said I can't. Mind you it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She said the bakers went home. I proceeded to argue about the point of ordering and paying for something you want and this bakery turns around and gives you a generic Birthday cake that was poorly decorated. She said the cake would be on her but after arguing with the woman I said give me the cake as I simply could not order another anywhere for same day. I reluctantly paid the woman and took the cake home. Mind you I had to hear the other half who was whining about what this bakery did for a special event. After having served the cake, it was not like anything that Buono Bakery had done in the past. The cake was dry, had no rum and the cannoli cream was flat. Totally disgusting. Never again for this bakery. What a total waste of money, time; not to mention the aggravation of the end product. I was truly embarrassed to serve this cake. I'd think twice about ordering from this place again. From now on, its back to Villabate/Alba in Bensonhurst. I think this bakery has unfriendly help that seemed quite defensive actually. Perhaps she know what she was sticking me with..Total garbage. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Been here numerous time. Each time I got amazing service. The cheesecake was out of this world. Especially the Oreo cheesecake. Many other options. Would definite continue to go back. read more
