Pistachio cake!
Lucy M.

A friend ordered a pistachio birthday cake from here and I was so excited because I love pistachio and it's not used nearly enough by anyone, for anything. It was incredible! There are real tiny nut chunks baked into the moist and fluffy cake, and they seemed to be in the frosting too. I'm not a cake person, so I did take off some of the frosting from my piece, but that I ate a whole piece at all is a testament to how good this cake is. They sell individual pieces so it's worth it to come and give it a try!

They just miiiiiight be putting CRACK in this cake. It's so addictive and so good!

Okay, so i was able to cop a slice of the banana cake for a friend who was visiting from out of town. The owner/baker was SO NICE and even let me in this afternoon even though they were technically closed. The selection was limited (only cuz they weren't really open), so i wisely settled on the banana cake cuz i KNEW it was gonna be lit after having tried it last year. ::Spoiler Alert:: The cake was declared to be the best in the land. My friend actually put her hand to her forehead like she was remembering a lost love. Genuinely puzzled, with misty eyes, she exclaimed, "Oh my goodness - WHAT are they putting in this cake???" Having had some myself and also forced to wonder, i had no answer for her. We both just know that it's moist, sweet (without being overly so), delicious, and tastes homemade. i personally don't know HOW i'm gonna manage my new low-sweets diet with Cake Ambience putting out the quality of deliciousness that they've got going on.

Banana pudding cake DELISH. OMG so so good. Moist, fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. So good.

I honestly drove from Bayonne NJ hoping for the black cake. They were sold out . But the pistachio and banana pudding were a very pleasing surprise. Well worth cheating on my diet for. But I will be paying the $16 thru the Holland tunnel to return for this cake and hopefully the BLACK cake will not be some out. . So so so good

Carrot cake

What a neighborhood gem. I like my life simple. Just give me the cake and that's it. I stumbled on it and have been addicted to the place ever since. Don't expect a fancy ambiance, the only ambiance they are giving is that cake! All the flavors are good, so you really can't go wrong. I had the pistachio, banana pudding, and carrot cake. The cake is moist and the filling is extremely edible. It is not that store-bought Pillsbury icing (no shade). You feel like they put a little tenderness and love just to get the flavor of the icing right. My favorite is the pistachio, but I think this is the best carrot cake I have ever had. The raisins in that carrot cake stick out to me. #Repeatcustomer

banana pudding cake
marian t.

Small Mom and Pop style bakery that I can't get enough of! Moist, decadent cake with the right amount of sweetness! Second time getting both of these slices and I'm hooked. Service is always nice and quick. I need to try different flavors on my next visit but they are truly a hidden treasure!

I returned to Cake Ambiance and tried their chocolate cake for the first time. I wish I took a photo before I dug in because the slice I received was HUGE. I can happily say that it was the best chocolate cake I've ever had. I will definitely be returning.

1st time at the new location (ok, so I'm waaay late), I'm not really into sweets so following a bakery is some serious stuff. The outside looking in was like a typical baked goods shop, not what people are writing in their reviews. I was expecting the worst as I must admit, the last location was very sparse and didn't look as if a business was there, but this local I'm digging. The cases were still not full but better than the last location.....and NO, it did NOT smell bad, it smelled like cake and coffee. There was a rush for holiday orders so I booked and paid for mine today! A Banana Pudding Cake, a Sweet Potato cake and will decide on Monday to add a Peach Cobbler, Pistachio cake or if he can make a Bread Pudding Cake. He has a LOT of orders and Jude has only one helper so he will let me know then if he can add it. Everyone, come back!...you will see some small but very nice changes. This place is still a gem with some of the most delicious baked creations in New York State.....come ask for a taste or three or four then take some home. Glad they moved closer to my house and now I get to wow the family with freshly baked treats and very unique varieties of creations....oooooh wait, maybe we should try the red velvet cheese cake , hmmmmm. P.S.- check out my pics of Jude and the new place.... go ahead...yes, right now ;)

One day last year my boyfriend and I were walking past this place and a man standing outside offered us a sample. Ever since then Cake Ambiance has been one of our "go to" establishments. I feel like the interior is a little bit misconceiving. It's a small store front tucked away close to busy Flatbush; however, the desserts that this place pumps out are exceptional! On our 1st stop in we tried a few samples but the sweet potato pie/cake stole the show. It's got such an amazingly sweet but not overly sweet sweet potato taste. The crust is soft and chewy unlike an ordinary pie crust. The service is always quick and speedy. In the future I'd like to try more of their sweets; however, usually when I'm here I'm picking up several slices of the sweet potato pie/cake. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who has a sweet tooth or is in need of a special dessert to share with others.

Cake Cake Cake!

Wow.... The phrase "Never Judge a book by it"s cover" comes to mind when it comes to cake ambiance. This place is a true hidden gem in the Flatbush area. I usually travel the city to tasty treats and deserts but now I never have to again! Cake Ambiance makes some of the most decadent and delicious cakes I've ever had in my life! I love sweets! They are my weakness and this place is my heaven! The owner truly has gifted hands. His warm and friendly approach just makes the entire experience even better! During my visit he let me sample so many of his awesome deserts. So far I've tried the sweet potato cake, butter delicious, pistachio cake, the banana pudding cake, chocolate cake, pineapple coconut cake and the ooey gooey pecan brownie! Everything I've tried has been beyond my expectations. His sponge is one of the most moist and flavorful sponges I've ever tasted. I'm almost tempted to say this IS the best cake I've had and honestly I wouldn't be lying. His cakes actually taste like their ingredients, no fluff and nothing artificial here...! The banana taste like banana, the strawberries taste like strawberries, the snozeberries taste like...(You know where this is going) Get here! And get here fast! You can buy cake by the slice ($7) or whole cakes! Whatever you buy you won't be disappointed! Cake Ambience will create and ambiance of pleasure for your taste buds! Enjoy!

But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain -- A Beautiful Taste of Old Brooklyn!…read more There's something truly special about Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain in Carroll Gardens. It's more than a neighborhood establishment; it's a reminder of the Brooklyn many of us grew up loving, where people knew one another, conversations mattered, and a simple cup of coffee could make your entire day better. From its beautiful old-fashioned espresso machine and exceptional coffee--better than Starbucks or Dunkin', in my opinion--to its delicious cream sodas, this place captures the charm of the old Brooklyn soda fountains, where families gathered for egg creams, chocolate malts, and good conversation. But what truly makes Brooklyn Farmacy special is its people. Pete, his wonderful sister, and the entire staff bring warmth, humor, kindness, and genuine hospitality to everything they do. You walk in as a customer and leave feeling like a neighbor. Carroll Gardens still has that wonderful old Brooklyn soul, beautifully blended with the present. Brooklyn Farmacy embodies that spirit. In a world that moves too fast, Brooklyn Farmacy reminds us how wonderful it feels to slow down, smile, and simply enjoy life. A neighborhood treasure worth celebrating!

Tables for 4, and along the long counter in the front area; small counter for 3, and 2 round tables in the back, where the restroom also is. Got a reg scoop of Coffee bean- small scoop, with specks of coffee; and a Warm brownie sundae - small for the price of almost $17- 1 regular scoop of ice cream, flanked by brownie (was good, soft and warm), covered with fudge. Asked for whipped cream and cherry on the side. Missing the shaved chocolate. Atmosphere is not lively for a soda fountain but I loved the decor/old pharmacy items. Employees were just working, with straight-faces/no smiles.

This was such a fresh yet hearty entree. The insides of the eggplant are silky smooth and almost melt in your mouth. The muhammara is a nutty red pepper based dip that adds a strong punch of acidic yet sweet flavor while the nuts bring in an earthy crunch. Paired with the hummus from the salatim, it makes a very satisfying entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! They change the salatim and entrees regularly so I would be curious to see what they have at other times of the year.

It ended up getting the one with the spices in it and it did not disappoint. I also got the chocolate cake and it was perfect! When I was there it was not super busy, but there were a few people in the back chatting and eating and a few people came in, ordered and left. There is a small seating area outside, but mostly inside in the front and the back. There is a quaint bathroom that was pretty clean.

Both flavors were distinct. I loved the mango one as it actually tasted like Indian mangoes and the pistacho one actually tasted like kulfi. The consistency is imo so much better than gelato. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. The ambiance is cosy, lots of people just hanging out like at a 3rd space. The attention to decor is really good, the walls and ceilings also have this classy look and feel. The service was great. They let me try 2 flavors, and my husband 1.
