    Thank you, Capri Bakery you did such a wonderful job. I had my father's 92 birthday celebration yesterday Sunday and everyone ate this beautiful cake. They said it was so tasty and moist and delicious. Thank you so much for your hard work and consistency akeeping your cakes so delicious! The staff at the store are very pleasant and hard-working.

    The receipt of the cake order
    Toya T.

    Today 12/21 is my birthday and I ordered a small the tres leche birthday cake the day prior on 12/20. I was asked to pick up the cake at 1pm the following day. Upon arrival the line was out the door and we patiently waited 40 minutes on the line. Upon getting to the front of the line, we waited an additional 15 minutes for a cake that was not ready. After the cake was brought out it was incorrectly made. We asked cashier for a refund and were told "we would have to return the following day to speak with Herman the Manager". The cashier reported they would correct the mistake in a few minutes. After clearly identifying what the cake topping should look like, by using one of their cakes as an example. It appeared things would be different and the cake was taken into the back to be corrected. The cake returned no longer chocolate mousse, but vanilla and missing the handwritten happy birthday. Infuriated, I was met with condescension and unprofessionalism. There's a clear language barrier and comprehension issue with the staff. The staff were moving around customers in the cramped space, not saying excuse me as they accessed their refrigerators which are located in the cramped storefront. I was hit with a refrigerator door several times as they assisted other patrons. Not one person said excuse me or acknowledged the proximity of closeness to customers. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, the 3rd cake was brought from the back to the front counter and finally resembled the original order. After packaging the cake for me to take home, the cashier asked for my only receipt. I asked for my original receipt to be returned to me. The cashier refused to provide the receipt stating I should take a photo with my phone. I firmly stood on receiving my receipt which was reluctantly provided. Unsure if they did "something" to the cake as I am rightfully skeptical and due to the poor customer service, I will not be eating the cake. To the cashiers, thanks for making sure you spoke Spanish and excluded me and other non Spanish speaking customers from your conversations. This does not have to be the standard of customer service. I would like to highlight I was serviced by Andrea the day before on 12/19 for a cake for a work party on 12/20 and the customer service was A1! To the manager Herman, you must do better with your staff. Additionally, you ruined my birthday cake and provided the worse customer service I have received in NYC for many years, which is Not Easy. Don't shop here unless you can speak the language or deal with incompetence. The service is terrible which sucks because the bakery does have good products. I added a photo of one of the incorrect cakes, the original receipt, and the store and staff today.

    My wedding cake was ruined. The cake I ordered was to have edible flowers and the cake itself was to be blue and white with gold acccents. The day of my wedding I pick up my cake and I'm met with a cake that had plastic flowers on top like what you see on your grandmothers dining room table. Because I was crunched for time I couldn't even stay and argue. I get to the venue and the whole cake has fallen to one side because there weren't those stick things in it to keep it stable. We had to cover the front with fake rose petals to cover it up. The service could definitely be better. They cater to their hispanic clientale and the rest of us are basically ignored.

    Capri Bakery was my destination today come hell or high water. I saw people waiting outside and then asked the man if he was waiting to go inside. He said they only allow four at a time as the space is small. After speaking to him I saw the sign on the door. I waited patiently taking photos of the beautiful cakes in the windows. When it was my turn to go inside I was overwhelmed by the choices. I decided on the small piece of cornbread. When I got to the counter I said I wanted a small piece of cornbread. I was charged $2.50 and I left. When I felt the bag it was really heavy and grease started coming through. I decided to go to the park and eat it right away. The piece was huge and very juicy and sweet. Naturally I ate the whole thing. I was glad I can cross Capri off my to go list. If I return I will try the strawberry cheesecake. The cupcakes look good too. Needless to say I won't be eating lunch today! If you visit Capri be prepared to wait in line. Also make it clear what you want. I should have told her by pointing to the item in the showcase. I have a feeling the small piece would not have been so sweet. Four Stars for cleanliness, organized set up, lots of selections, and very reasonable price.

    Not a chocolate cake at all

    Really upset and disappointed with this bakery. First time for me to use them and they are very popular in Harlem. I placed my order for a my sons 4th birthday. Set pick up time for 10am on Sunday and I showed up later around 11:20. Waited patiently in line for 10 minutes then another 6 minutes after providing my cake receipt, totally fine. Cake was very beautiful on the outside and exactly as I requested. My son wanted and that paper said chocolate cake with vanilla cream. I got a vanilla cake with vanilla custard inside....embarrassing for me when I tell my guest and son it's chocolate and it's not. I was going to return here for cupcakes because my sons actual birthday is on September 30th, but I will be going to a place that can deliver exactly what I want and pay for Oh here's a picture of my sons non chocolate cake

    Dry 3 leche cake
    Juan N.

    Came here to day picked up some cakes and a flan the flan tasted disguising and the 3s leche was dry as hell. Never had such a dry cake. Also picked up a quisito shit was hard too.

    Sold me a $150 ( burnt cake ) with a straight face. The cake was extra crispy to the point where you can see that it was BLACK. The outside was pretty but it was not edible. I live in another borough and did not feel the need to go there to argue with them. They Ruined my daughter's birthday.

    Sesame Street cake
    Jannee Willis ..

    THIS IS A LONG POST BUT VERY NECESSARY ONE. Ok now I would love to have given this business 5 starts but I just cannot. The cake was amazing and absolutely beautiful. However, my in house experience just was not as amazing. So on Aug 3 I went to the location 116th with my sister. A girl named Anais took my order. As we was completing the order my sister gave Anais the whole $220 which covered the cost of the cake. My sister wanted to smoke so she left the store. Anais took the money and had it alllllll around the counter and the table. Oppose to her "intelligent" self placing the money into the register after receiving it she continued to leave it out in the open. Me and her completed everything and I took a step back to leave and accidentally stepped on a man. So I turn around and apologize because I'm thinking I bumped into a customer by mistake but nope. I bumped into one of the neighborhoods usual crackheads. She tells me I forgot my receipt so I turn back around to grab it and while doing so the man ask me for $20. So I looked at him and asked him straight up" did you lose your MFing mind get the f out my face." Like the audacity. And while the whole time this is occurring Anais STILLLLL did not put the money in the register but left it on the top counter where the cakes are. So the man reached around me and grabbed the money and ran out of the store. I ran out behind him to see where did he go. People in the area knew him so I gathered information about him to provide to the store. I go back into the store to get my receipt and Anais is basically like no. And now I'm looking at her like she lost her mind. This human tells me I should had stopped the man. Now I totally lose it and go ham to the point my sister comes in and we about to drag her from behind the counter. A small lady comes out I'm assuming she was the supervisor on duty. She asked if I can at least call the cops for them. Now the nice person I am I call the police AND WAITED until they came to provide all information I had. The supervisor gave me my receipt and told me I will get my cake. I know I was going to or ima need my funds back. I told the officer everything and he said that it was not my problem (which I knew) because the business was in possession of the money. The officer also stated he surprised I even stayed to speak with them and I'm like I'm really a nice person and I do feel bad for the business but Anais needs to be let go or re train because she is a special kind of human. She was so smart. You see behind me. So you saw this man behind me up to no good and you said nothing.. then when he steals from you you expect for me to become a security for your store and stop this man and get the money while you stand behind the counter looking special ABSOLUTELY NOT. As I'm writing this post I'm getting upset all over again. Like I said to Anais I will say again here. 116 is the slums. If you don't know how to work in the slums then you need another job somewhere else. I can't believe I traveled all the way over to this place just to have such experience. I just want to thank the supervisor again for ensuring my son's cake was as beautiful as it was and for stepping in before I had to show her very special employee a very special time....

    Great bakery. The taste and designs are amazing! A go to for birthday cakes for kids and adults.

    It takes a lot to blow me away with cake, sweets and treats but I have to give major props to this bakery for their delicious cakes and desserts. I tried only a slice of their cake 2 years ago at a birthday party and I loved it. I then again tried it 3 weeks ago at another birthday party with my sister in law and it left me wanting another slice for home. Sadly, she left the Tres Leche cake in the car and had to toss it out the next day. Today, my husband got me my very own 10" round tres Leche cake from Capri Bakery and I couldn't wait to cut a slice and sure enough I was blown away and it was so moist and delicious. I can't wait to dig into this cake all week long. It's definitely not lacking anything, from design to the not so overwhelming amount of tres Leche milk inside of the cake to the frosting flavor, it's just all so darn good. I will be getting all my birthday and holiday cakes here from now on.

    They did my husband and my gender reveal cake in 1 day! Very convenient and well priced!

I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

So far I've had the chocolate dipper, double chocolate dipper, Brooklyn creme, vanilla creme, strawberry creme and Boston creme. They never disappoint. All of the staff members are efficient and sweet, even when the shop is busy. Even if there's a line or they are making a bunch of orders, their service is consistently extremely fast without sacrificing quality. Their matcha latte and regular coffee latte are also pretty good. The cups are adorable. The interior is the old diner from back in the 90s style, and surprisingly they have a decent amount of seating considering how small the establishment is. Run, don't walk!

They were young, energetic, and a hard working bunch, Eastern European sounding . They are fierce in their added charges at the register- the likes of which I have never seen in the coffee shop/ donut world. First & Last visit. Too mich of a culture clash. How I was treated here would not fly or last One minute in North Shore Nassau -.But here in Brooklyn this is a bustling coffee & donut shop with all seats taken and a line for take out. Donuts & coffee both good - Good. Experience a no go. They were pre- occupied with added fees. it's all they mentioned with each donut picked. It went like this - "A dozen doughnuts please" and I began pointing at quite regular looking donuts (all in the same rows) or so I thought. " thats a dollar extra" ( boston creme) hm ok " thats a dollar extra" ( coconut creme) hm ok " thats a dollar extra" ( boston creme stick) hm ok " thats a dollar extra" ( french cruller white icing hm ok " thats a dollar extra" (french cruller chocolate icing) hm ok " Two small coffees also please " HM are those the small?? I kid you not they were TINY kid sized The cup size I have never seen before. They must special order them for samples or something. Ok so "They are wayyy too tiny so - medium please" Out came the typical small sized cup - Hmm so ok. Let's ring and go I'm thinking. Next the woman is struggling with a paper by the register trying to figure out the coat of this dozen donuts (plus five with her added $1's) - then more struggle and I said " it's a dozen plus $5" thats $29.50". "Oh no you don't have a dozen". Apparently the extra $5 disqualified my "dozen". I know what you're thinking but No- no special donuts from some other case - no coffee rolls etc - i'm a NY'er and know a donut from a special roll etc. You need to buy five more for a dozen. "Oh? No, I have a dozen and am paying you five up charges as you stated." Next thing she is ringing the donuts individually Plus the extra $5 Which makes NO sense. But gets her another added $5 or so. Why would they keep quoting me add ons to my dozen if no dozen existed once you added a Boston creme etc. She raced to the manager. The Brooklynites thought ne a mean old lady for saying you're overcharging me'. The manager flew over - a young man huffy and emphatic that the five very ordinary donuts that were $5 more converted my dozen to a different price per donut. Then they said something funny to me - "would you like me to take those out and give you regular donuts?". No. (See update for more) " No those are the ones I want " but you just over charged me - I'll take them. But you are overcharging me. Thank you. Holy mackerel - just glad to be on the way out WITH the donuts of course- I was not furious or anything- and the donuts were never at risk- I'd not walk out on the donuts - My advice is to be more transparent in pricing and not deem very basic donuts special donuts - making your customers feel ripped off.- Better just to charge more for the dozen. And.. like other shops put any supposed special donuts in a special donut area - like coffee rolls, big fritters etc. That's how it's Typically done. This is New York! You can't pull that here. This is a place where people pay $6 for a good cookie. They are not cheap. Don't be weird at the register. And those cups Come on - are you KIDding me - pun intended. I left holding on to my wallet a lot tighter. And that is not NYstyle. I felt like some war was on and was ready to start stacking change. I'm also half Italian! So for me - This was one weird cheapskate experience. So that's my review. --------------------Update - Follow up to reply ------------------------------- Hi Demetrios, Thank you for replying. I generally stay positive on reviews. Like I said it was the aggressive way I was treated that was the no go for me. What I left out of the review was worse! For instance - your counter person began reaching to open the box saying she was taking out donuts to replace them with others. She grabbed the box and actually began getting ready to fling donuts around. It was totally weird. Had she actually not stopped trying to untie when asked I would have not taken them. It weirded me out. You say you keep the business the same since 1993? Well where is the Jelly Stick? A New Yok classic. So much for keeping it the same. Its on the sign over the counter and you don't make them any more .. so It is Not the same as it once was. Got ya! jk. And no.. no no.. I am Never mean or rude... just willing to say something. Ok so the coffee.. if its really $1 I get it.. its a nice gesture to your customers... they had something like that in Montauk.. a tiny beer for $1 at a place called Liar's Saloon. So ok.... right on you. Update /3

    If there ever was a perfect donut, Caroline's is the place to find it. The dough is fried, but airy…read moreand light, not at all greasy. Filled donuts are bursting at the seams with custard that tastes like egg yolks, cream, sugar, vanilla and little else. The orange cream cheese donut is generously frosted with, I'd guess, a mixture of cream cheese, marmalade, powdered sugar, and cream. Based on what we've tried, the donuts at Caroline's are old fashioned, unadulterated and excellent. I recently picked up four donuts for the fambly: the aforementioned orange cream cheese, creme brulee, Boston cream, and raspberry glaze donuts. This was in the afternoon around 4 p.m. and all of them were perfectly, wondrously fresh. The person at the counter (the male proprietor, I think) assured me in his charming French accent that they freshly fry donuts several times a day. Creme brulee was the fan favorite with the hard, crisp, sugar shell on top cracking delicately under a knife to reveal a loose, rich, custardy filling. But across the board, donuts were beautifully made (both aesthetic and delicious!), and well frosted / glazed / filled. The raspberry glaze by itself was a touch too sweet for our tastes, but applied with restraint so the overall effect was balanced. We are not in the donut market very often, but have had this place bookmarked ever since my esteemed Yelp colleague, Alan S., reviewed it last year. Now that we've tried these beauties, I think we're going to find many excuses to be back (e.g. for Hannukah sufganiyot, anything round for Lunar New Year, anything fried for Diwali, anything that can support a candle for birthdays, etc...).We really like this place and we suspect you will, too.

    For so long, the Upper East Side was in desperate need of a really good donut shop. I'm not talking…read moreabout Dunkin, although there's a time and place for that. I'm talking about an establishment that makes high-quality gourmet treats. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to see this one opening in the neighborhood last year. I have been to Caroline's several times since it opened its doors to the public. I've tried a few of their items, including the glazed twist, Boston creme, coffee donut, and strawberry filled. The glaze twist is one of my favorites. It's wonderfully sweet while not cloying, and I especially enjoy topping it with the Bon Mama berry jam I have at home. The Boston creme is truly made with love. It's sufficiently stuffed with creme and topped with a thick layer of chocolate ganache - the expensive stuff! The coffee donut is also delicious. Of everything I've tried, the strawberry filled was my favorite. You can tell their strawberry compote is homemade and not too sweet. The dough is light and fluffy and generously coated with granulated sugar. What a treat!
