    red velvet donuts
    Jaclyn H.

    you haven't lived until you have tried these red velvet donuts from cake chef! my favorite thing on their menu as well as their chocolate chip scones (sell out so quick so be sure to grab these ASAP on the weekends)

    Coconut Custard
    Simon W.

    Ridiculously awesome rings and shoes! The coconut custard and apple rings are the best items on the menu. Both versions are stuffed and the fillings are delicious. It does straddle the line on being just a little too sweet I'm told but for my taste, I don't mind my sweets being too sweet and think it is perfect. I would definitely find myself dropping by for these anytime especially the apple. One of these would definitely feed 10 or more people. The Red Velvet is pretty good as well but not exactly my favorite. I do prefer a moist cake but in this case, perhaps it is just a little too moist and crumbles a little too much in my opinion. I'm no expert baker but maybe there is a little too much shortening or oil in the cake base. A little less might lead to a cake with a little more structure and body in my opinion would be ideal. Regardless of your preferences, the prices can't be beat in this day in age. For what you pay, the value is the best for any bakery in the city for sure.

    One of the best bakeries in Staten Island ! Fantastic cakes, pies and cookies and pastries. Their ring pastries are beyond great! The coconut rings are a hot hit. Get there early or they're out very soon! Ladies behind the counter are always smiling, they're quick and proficient. Definitely Give them a try when you're in the neighborhood!

    Strawberry shortcake.

    Their red velvet cake and donuts is the best out of this bakery. My father and I are obsessed with their coconut custard ring danish. We ordered every horseshoe and ring danishes (all flavors) from them, they do not disappoint! I would order a ring or horseshoe to a friend's house and they love it! My mother loves their strawberry shortcake. For my dog's 3rd birthday, we got her a strawberry shortcake and she absolutely loves it. Dairy Queen she is. Everything they make is FRESH! One thing I want to add, everyone is wearing a mask these days, as a person who has a hearing loss it is difficult to understand what they are saying and I would write down my orders. They are super helpful. There's no one bad experience from enjoying their bakery goods or their customer service! This is CASH only bakery. Bring cash or you can't order.

    Custom cake
    Paula K.

    I called a week before needing a cake asking if they could assist in making a custom cake for me. After talking on the phone and sending in my inspiration pictures through email I was set. I was able to drop off the deposit for the cake a few days after. On the day of picking up my cake there was one small error with the writing that was easily fixable and fixed within a few minutes while I waited on premises. I don't blame them, I had a few different requests and it could be easily misunderstood. Overall the cake was beautiful. It turned out exactly how I wanted and pictured, we even gave the cake its own photoshoot! It was also a lot taller than I expected! I didnt know it would be a double decker and that was a very pleasant surprise. The cake tasted good; we got chocolate cake with chocolate filling and strawberries. It was nothing too memorable or flavorful but overall a good dessert. Next time I might inquire more about flavors and fillings to decide what I prefer. Only downside is that they are cash only, but not worth lowering their score for... I'm really happy with the experience. Also worth a mention their cookie with 3 jams reminds me of a cookie I adored as a child and it was the first time I tasted something similar to it in 20 years, It was amazing. Id make the drive for the cookie alone.

    I love this place till I got a cake for a friend's mother in law bday with moldy strawberries and raspberries. Very disappointed and it was my fault not checking the cake before the lady put it in the box. I though they are professional and they honest, never thought they will serve spoiled moldy fruits to they local customers. Please check your cake before leaving the store. This kind of service is not acceptable in the food industry.

    Apple Tart
    Sarah C.

    This place is INSANELY affordable!! I ordered 5 cookies, a cupcake, a cannoli, a cheesecake and the giant apple tart for only $34.... Cookies - they price them by the pound so they're super affordable. I loveeeedd the braided cookie. It's probably one of the best I've ever had. The sprinkle cookie is filled in the middle with some sort of chocolate filling, not too sweet! I believe the white powdery cookies are Italian wedding cookies, I love the Greek version but these seemed a bit nutty for my taste! Still pretty good Red Velvet Cupcake - right off the bat, it looked super moist but the color threw me off, it's really bright red so you know there's a lot of food coloring but hey, that's what red velvet is!! I broke it apart and ate it like a sandwich with the cream cheese frosting in the middle. It had the perfect amount of frosting and it was extremely cream cheese-y which contrasted nicely with the cake. 5/5!! The Apple Tart - My family LOVEs this!! But I always skip it because it's not sweet enough haha it's definitely a less guilt tart!! I just think if I'm going to waste calorie eating it, it should at least taste good or to my liking!! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the neighborhood!!

    Delicious Apricot shortbread cookie about $1.20

    Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV

    I understand the hype, now! The square zucchini pizza is sheer perfection.. rice ball parm also…read moreseriously delicious ... their desserts are simple Italian standards and they are also soo delish! Given them a try , you won't be disappointed !
