In 2014 I was looking for a cake for my Husband's 40th and Mona went above and beyond. I told her…read moreall of his interests, hobbies and colors. The flavor we requested was a blue - red velvet cake. The cake destabilize was moist and delicious all of the decorations including the NY GIANTS football helmet was edible. Everyone raved about the presentation and taste. Couple of weeks ago after having a nightmare and many mini meltdowns because someone who said they can do the kind of cake I wanted for my 50th Birthday as a gift & then last minute told me they overestimated their talent and couldn't do it. Mon to the rescue....with a week left she not only remembered my husband's cake but had experience doing geode cakes. She was very helpful in giving her input on what filling would hold up and taste best and again the cake was beautiful. I have out of town family members calling me asking me if I have any left over to send them some they with pay for shipping. Lol. Mona, thanks so very much for your talents.

I was looking for a specific and special cake for my twin sisters bridal shower. I searched the…read moreinternet for New York City bakeries and compared reviews to the photos on Instagram and Facebook. I wanted the cake to be perfect for my sister. I spoke directly to Mona multiple times to assure that the Leopard cake was exactly what I wanted. She was so patient and so nice to speak with. The cake was not only what I had envisioned and asked for but SO MUCH MORE! Everyone loved the cake and it really made my sisters day even more special. All the guests asked me where I got the cake, not only because of the design but because of how delicious it was! I will definitely return to Mona and highly recommend.

I look forward to returning as a customer (I am from Syosset) very soon. They seem very friendly and, based on the line outside the store, very popular in the neighborhood. 'GREAT to know there's still a place to get this kind of baked goods in the general vicinity of my hometown.

I wanted so much to like Francesco's. It was our first time visiting and the bakery held an old…read moreschool charm, but after trying a variety of items, a 2.5 seems most fitting. The displays were filled with a nice variety of butter cookies, cakes, doughnuts and other classic pastries. Everything "looked" good, but the taste was just average. I would have pushed it to a 3 star review, but the young man behind the counter wasn't very friendly. The store was as empty when we went in so it wasn't like he was busy trying to take orders quickly. We told the young man that we would be ordering a variety of butter cookies and he looked at us annoyed and continued to serve us with a similar attitude. I guess maybe this is the expected service from the generation nowadays? I just expected more from a place that appeared so charming. The rainbow cookies seem to have anise in it, which is a bit odd for a rainbow cookies, and the chocolate coating was not very cocoa forward. It was also lacking jam. We were also really excited about the chocolate sandwiched butter cookies, but while the cookie itself was fresh, the ganache was missing the rich chocolatey flavor. Instead, it almost tasted like carob or some sort of diluted chocolate instead. The cookies itself were also not buttery enough, though they did taste freshly baked. All in all, Francesco isn't something to write home about and it's not a place I'd visit again.

Francesco's Bakery NEVER delivered our wedding cake…read more We ordered our wedding cake from Francesco's and called two days in advance to confirm delivery. The staff assured us it would arrive early, around 11:00 a.m. However, by 1:00 p.m. on our wedding day, the cake still hadn't arrived. When we called the bakery, they told us they couldn't get in touch with the driver. It took another hour before they realized the driver never had the cake and that it had been left at the bakery the entire time. At that point, it was around 2:30 p.m. Not only was this incredibly frustrating, but it also caused unnecessary stress on our wedding day--something no couple should have to deal with. Unfortunately, we had to pick up the wedding cake ourselves. Since then, we've spent the past week trying to get in contact with someone to address what happened, with no success. I asked for the owner's phone number and left a voicemail two days ago, but still haven't received any response. Overall, this was a VERY disappointing experience. I would NOT recommend anyone to order from this bakery.

Now I hope I heard and wrote the spelling right. I got an egg roll which at home found it a tad on the hard side but it's all good as I'll toast it. They have small round strawberry short cakes at 14.99! each and some slices that one can buy. The bakery has been there for a long time. Another of the many places to stop into when in the area.

I don't believe they have a milk bar where you add it yourself so usually they do it for you.. usually it's acceptable but the last time I visited, the barista barely added any milk and I had to go back and forth to try to adjust it with her blah. Anyway, I'm really here to RAVE about the spinach pastry that is out of this world. Anytime I'm in the area I either get one for that morning or save it for the next morning- perfectly crispy and yummy interior; I pretend it's healthy because of the spinach. My daughter also loves the muffins and cookies here and especiallyyyy the TV screen that has a slideshow of their different custom cakes. I always want to inquire about them but I assume they are pricey. We got just a slice of the rainbow cake and something oreo related but just thought they were okay too. Just reiterating that the spinach pastry is AMAAZZZZING and everyone should go try it. Also love the coziness of this cute cafe. The end :)
