The custom design was stunning and exactly what we asked for, and the cake was fresh, moist, and delicious -- our guests couldn't stop raving about it. Everything there is always fresh and truly scrumptious, and the owner is a gem: kind, patient, and clearly passionate about her craft. I highly recommend Sugargirl for any occasion and hope anyone reading this will support this awesome small business. P.S. The cookies with the sprinkles are not to be missed! ( A note from my kids)

For being a "tres leches" they should be embarrassed. This is not the first time getting a very dry cake from them. It's literally a hit or miss there and this last time may keep me away. Or perhaps until I need a last minute grab. Unfortunate.

The Treats were fresh tasting, just sweet enough & wonderfully dense; nothing like the mass-produced, commercial kind sold by the cereal company. Jessica is a hard working mom, musician & baker & we highly recommend her & Sweet Note Bakeshop.

In Kingsbridge running an errand and saw Sugarboy, a bright confection decorated bakery café, so…read moredecided to stop in to see if they had a "relleno" - a roll filled with either cheese or cheese and ham - something I regularly enjoyed from the bakeries in my old Washington Heights neighborhood. Sugarboy's cases are filled a nice selection of mouthwatering deserts - masterfully decorated Cakes, Cupcakes, assorted Fruit Tarts, Cookies, and Rugelach. All visually enticing! Beyond some breads, they also offered large Rellenos, both with and without ham for $3. What especially impressed me was both their Rugelach and elegant Mini Danish selection, all for 3 for $1.50 - a perfectly priced small treat! (Also good if you're into portion control, given how scrumptious they look, but want to just have a tiny something to satisfy your sweet tooth!) Decided on two Ham and Cheese Rellenos, plus a Chocolate and two Nutella (YES!) Rugelach. They heated up the Rellenos so I could eat them right away. The reason I gave Sugarboy 4 not 5 stars is only because I discovered when biting into them on the subway that they weren't fully heated throughout - in fact a little chilled center, concerning considering they had ham. Other than that, all was delicious! Would recommend stopping by Sugarboy, but next time in the neighborhood I'll test out the Mini Danishes, especially the Cheese and Guava!

I ordered their classic carrot cake with raisins. The cake was moist, warm, and not too sweet. My only pet peeve is I wish the cake was two layers so that the frosting was in the middle as well. I would have also appreciated a tangier cream cheese frosting. All that to say, it was not the best carrot cake I've ever had but it was pretty damn good and they're a Bronx institution.

Came by here on a random night and decided to try a gluten free pastry!…read more Let me start off with I'm unfamiliar to vegan, gluten free eats but that's because it's not my usual choice (I'll admit I'm not the healthiest haha) and I just haven't gone to the right place up to now. This place is IT, just TRUST me. I had their cinnamon walnut babkin (super cute!) which is a mini babka. My first time trying this and I loved it. Location: Right in the heart of Riverdale BX, it's around the corner behind the Pearl Dynastea (right in the parking area). It is a bit easy to overlook so keep an eye out, once you go in you go down stairs. Eats: Lots of different options to buy, from muffins and cookies to sourdough. I believe they have a frozen section for those who want it for later. There is a menu for coffee also! Pricing is fair. Atmosphere: Very local, very family oriented. It's cozy and it feels like you've entered a friend's baking area, no need to rush. I believe it was the owner who was there that night, she explained and helped me choose. All in all, if you're looking for a solid gluten free, vegan, celiac safe, non - GMO treat, come here!

I'm completely in love with this celiac-friendly, gluten-free bakery in Riverdale! It's a…read moremust-visit, especially for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Derek and Monica, the fantastic husband-and-wife team running the bakery, have created something truly special. From the moment my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by their warm atmosphere. They are incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about their work, which is evident in everything they do. The bakery has a wonderfully family-friendly vibe, and it's clear that Derek and Monica genuinely care about their community. They even introduced us to their beautiful daughter and their adorable eight-month-old puppy, which added to the cozy and inviting feel of the place. It's rare to find a spot that welcomes both kids and dogs with open arms. Derek was so sweet to us and our dogs, Luca (a Husky) and Henry (a Field English Cocker Spaniel). Outside, he introduced himself to us and our dogs while we enjoyed our delicious treats. Derek was especially kind to our dogs, handing out treats and even giving them a piece of their special sourdough bread with our permission. They loved it! As we left, he gifted us a loaf to take home, which was incredibly heartwarming. Now, let's talk about the bread! The sourdough is simply amazing--can't recommend it enough! It's a game-changer for anyone needing gluten-free options. Plus, it's vegan, non-GMO, and soy-free, demonstrating how thoughtful their baking is. For those with celiac disease, finding a bakery that offers safe and delicious gluten-free options is rare, especially in a big city like New York. This bakery fills a significant need for a group that often struggles to find great options. Derek and Monica are doing a fantastic job providing tasty and safe food, which is a big win for the Riverdale community. Living in Riverdale for 19 years, they understand the community's values. Their bakery is more than just a place to buy bread; it's a community hub that fosters a sense of belonging. In a family- and dog-friendly neighborhood like Riverdale, a business that shares those values is invaluable. Hearing about their journey to starting the bakery really highlights how their time in the community has shaped their vision. They truly make Riverdale an even more welcoming place. It's super important now more than ever to invest time and energy into purposeful businesses that make a difference. If you're looking for a tasty treat or some great coffee, definitely swing by this bakery. You won't regret it! You'll also be supporting a place that is actively involved in the celiac community. Even if you're not gluten-sensitive, their food is so delicious that you'd never guess it's gluten-free, vegan, and soy-free. So, treat yourself and help nurture both your body and your community by stopping by!
