Beautiful designs, perfect flavors, and they can whip up something amazing even on short notice for birthdays, weddings, or just because. I get custom birthday cakes here for pretty much every member of my family and they all love it. The tres leches is next level moist and delicious. We also like the caramel leches and the guava. They have a creamy and milky texture and taste great for any celebration. They are really large cakes so expect to have some leftovers afterwards for the next few days. They also serve good food with empanadas and other breakfast options such as bacon, egg, and cheese. Their mangu is really delicious. Pair it with some coffee. bottom line, This place is fantastic. Go get yourself some breakfast and pick up some pastries or a cake (Pro tip: Get there early for the freshest batches!)

I have severl options to choice from and the welcome inspo pictures. I have gotten custom made cakes to grab and go cakes and they are as equally good. Compared to the wave of IG bakers who now charge a mini fortune this bakery is CHEAP and gives you IG inspo cakes. No bells and whistles the bakery itself looks like what it is, a neighborhood bakery. Customer service is very simple feels very Bronx, mom and pop if that makes sense. I recommend 100/10 this bakery.

My wife brought me here for a birthday gift, as I love Dominican food, and this place didn't…read moredisappoint! You can't miss this place. This place stands out as this bright pink beacon below the tracks. On entry you're greeted by colorful pastries and cakes encased in light up glass cases like jewelry. It is a little tight to sit inside for parties bigger than two, but that's because it's pretty busy. The Coffee was excellent. No need to add sugar. It just tastes perfect with that cinimon that Dominican coffee is known for. The Tres Golpes was excellent, as was every other course my wife threw at me. The only thing to last long enough to be photographed was the Chimi, and my desert. The staff was very pleasant, outgoing, and surprisingly attentive for such a busy place. I'd go back.

I, too, was fooled by Instagram. We discovered this place the same way most people do -- through…read morethe cute, trendy desserts that look great online. I also wanted to support a local business. So my husband made the journey across town and brought home a few treats from Happy Cake, including a chocolate coffee dessert shaped like a Starbucks cup with a chocolate lid. When my daughter popped the chocolate lid off to eat it, we found mold growing inside the dessert. This is absolutely unacceptable for any food business -- I don't care if it's "my people" or not. For context, we bought the dessert on Sunday and discovered the mold on Monday. Fresh, properly stored desserts do not grow visible mold overnight. That means this item was already old, improperly stored, or handled without proper food safety standards. None of those possibilities are okay, especially when the dessert was meant for a child. We didn't bother driving all the way back to the store -- it's too far -- but we threw out that dessert and every other treat we bought immediately. I'm just grateful my daughter didn't take a bite first. I cannot trust the freshness or safety of their products and will not be buying anything from Happy Cake again. And if anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, I'm posting a photo so you can see exactly what we found.

One of the top Italian bakeries in NY and an absolute must stop when visiting Arthur Ave. You walk…read morein and you feel like you just stepped back in time to your childhood when more of these Italian American bakeries existed. Bread, cookies, and pastries are all showcased and it smells great. If you go during the afternoon during the week it won't be as crowded as it can get on the weekend. Everything here is terrific. Whenever I'm in the area I'll bring home a pound of assorted Italian cookies, I'll also grab rainbow cookies and cannolis. Their cannolis are terrific, some of the best in NY. Yes, NY, not just NYC. I think what makes their cannoli stand out amongst some of the best is their shell. It's always fresh and crispy. Their filling is a little more vanilla forward compared to other NY institutions version of the cannoli, so keep that in mind when trying one. I'll put it to you this way, if you like Italian pastries, especially cannolis make this place a destination to visit, give them a try and see how it ranks up compared to your favorites. And while you're there, take in the rest of Arthur Ave! Oh, I almost forgot. They have what my husband says are the best savoiardi cookies in the state. They're always fresh, soft, slightly chewy in the middle with a delicately crispy exterior. They're to die for with a hot cup of coffee.
