In a hurricane people go to the stores and hoard milk, eggs, and bread. I think they are going to bake a cake! Me, I go right to the source, I get cheese cake! Cheese cake is the best thing after a day at the beach watching the waves! (though I don't usually eat cheese cake in the summer) I will make an exception for the storm! I am updating my review because I never actually took pictures of the classic cheese cake that I usually get. I just posted it. I ordered half blueberry half /strawberry. In my opinion there is nothing like a NY cheese cake! And Cascon is my favorite! read more

I have been coming to this bakery for many years and I love everything about it. From their bagels in the morning with my coffee, to the dessert selections. Warning! You can not stop at just one. My favorite are his mini Napoleons. I can eat the 6 of them in 5 mins. The girls behind the counter will help me make the selections for any event. The few times I saw the owner, he is always warm and sweet and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've bought a mini cheesecake from them and thought that was good, but not memorable. I wanted to give them a second chance so I bought a strawberry cheesecake from them. The cheesecake was ok, but not great. Firstly, the outside edges of the cake was hard, like it's been frozen and then sat out for a few days, not a few hours. The strawberry was just canned strawberry spread put on top of the cheesecake. The spread also didn't look fresh because when i cut into it, the spread which should've been syrupy was more gelatinous. Overall, I think I'll stick with La Cheesecake. They use real fruit on top of their cheesecake, and the presentation is so much better. Maybe just stick to their mini cheesecakes if you decide to go to Cascon. Those seems more fresh than the bigger ones sitting in the fridge. read more

Cascon cheesecakes has always been a go-to bakery for family and friends and it's easy to figure out why--their stuff is delicious! Exactly why my husband and I were so ecstatic when we found out that our wedding cake would be made by Cascon! We scheduled a tasting on a weeknight and met with one of the managers--I want to say his name was Joe? He was a sweetheart! I showed him the cake design I wanted and he said it would be no problem. He did advise us to ask our venue if we could get a 5th tier thrown in because of how pretty it looked with the extra tier. When our venue turned us down and was going to charge us, they still made it for us anyway! I was so grateful and touched by this because it really did look gorgeous. Although it may have seemed like a small gesture--it spoke volumes to us! When it comes to wedding vendors--they very rarely "throw in" anything. We chose vanilla cake with chocolate mousse and fresh custard with strawberries. It was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly moist and creamy and everyone loved it! Thank you so much Cascon! read more

10/3/20 - Best cheesecake around. I have been a customer for many years. The cheesecake is not cheap, but worth every dollar. The other baked goods look great too, but I just go for the cheesecake. Friendly service. read more

Ordered their cannoli filled rainbow cookies and regular rainbow cookies. Both were delicious but definitely prefer the cannoli filled. Going back for more soon read more

Walked in for the first time only to be greeted by the owner who helped me with my order. Told him it was my first time at the bakery and he gave me a rainbow cookie to try. Great customer service. Although I am not a fan of desserts, I decided to get the cheesecake sampler so I can try a piece of a few of them and my favorite slice was the cookie one and the strawberry. The other slices was just ehh. If you like cheesecakes, I suggest you come here. read more

For our wedding, we were sent to Cascon through our venue, Terrace on the Park, for our cake. After meeting with the decorator at Cascon and reviewing what we were looking for, as well as the tasting, we knew we were in the right place. On the day of the wedding, the cake truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend anyone to this shop for their wedding, or anything that you may need - the cake was not only beautiful, but it also tasted AMAZING! read more

I recently came to Cascon because of a recommendation that it was similar to a cheesecake baked "by your Nonna " , thought I'd give it a try. I had to give it a star down because the cheesecake was honestly solid frozen at 3pm. The staff was not the happiest, but I get it .. it's a Sunday you wanna go home . I understand that cheesecake needs to be freezed overnight but not at 3pm still. In regards to the cake, it was definitely creamy, but I think I need to go back on a Monday because it definitely wasn't the freshiest on a Sunday ... it started to get that shelf taste around it. The cake itself inside was super good, I just wish it didn't have that old flavor on the outside of the cake. I would say go to this place the beginning of the week. read more

Been coming here for years, however the rudeness of their owners on the phone is horrendous. I called on the 22nd of December if I could order cupcakes for the 24 the response was and I quote,"NOPE not taking any orders" and then i was hung up on. Seriously you hang up on a customer? No worries I will not be going to your shop any more will go somewhere else. By the way was going to order 4 pounds of pastries, prepackaged cookies etc but whatever right your response would of been to hang up on the customer. Merry Christmas read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That's what Yelp says to the five-star rating. Frankly, I couldn't have said it better. Cascon Cheesecakes has been a staple in Queens since the '70s. Even if you're not close by, it's well worth the trip. I had the benefit of living in this neighborhood for several years where I could WALK to this place. That was dangerous. Since I passed through Whitestone the other day I decided to go back and treat myself (and of course my husband :) to cheesecake. Luckily for us, they still carry the mini cheesecakes, so I got a few of those. If we had to get a whole cheesecake (as if that would be a punishment!) we would have inhaled it in little more than a sitting. And I wouldn't be writing the review right now; I'd have my butt at the gym in spin class to make up for calories. Back to the minis...I got an assortment of flavors: regular, marble swirl, black forest, pumpkin and Oreo. Holy Moly. They are exactly as I remember them. Ridiculously fresh and creamy. If you're a Junior's Cheesecake fan, I beg you to try Cascon - you may switch teams and fall for them. In addition to the minis, you can get assorted cheesecake flavors in larger sizes, cakes, pastries, assorted mousse, and of course bakery butter cookies. And they're so nice here! LOVE this place. You will too! read more

Best Bakery Ever !!!! LOVE the cheesecakes & The Rainbow cannoli cookies are Amazing!!!!! The ONLY place to go is CASCON =) Don't look any further =) Thanks from the Santiago Family read more

This place does not warrant 4.5 stars for many reasons. The first reason, they are in the same general area as La Cheesecake, king of the cheesecake. The second reason, when you go in there, you don't get the feeling that their cakes are fresh. La cheesecake serves their cakes warm and give them to you right out of the pan, so you know they haven't been sitting around long because they're still cooling. In Cascon, they take the cakes out of their fridge, which doesn't make me feel good and to top it all off, the quality just isn't there and definitely doesn't match their "through-the-roof" pricing. Go to la cheesecake, no I am not a paid spokesman, I just speak the truth. read more

A disappointment on many levels. I have, over the years, heard rave reviews of Cascon's but having always been loyal to Stork's Bakery (which is now closed), had never ventured those few blocks further to try out Cascon's. That changed this week. I had the good fortune of winning a gift certificate for a large Cascon's cheesecake at a recent charity event. Using Easter, and a dinner for friends and family as a perfect excuse, I ventured over with my daughter. With a smile on our faces, we looked at the cheesecakes in the display case, and tried to pick from the many options. Saw that many of the other items (non-cheese cake) also looked pretty good. Woman behind the counter came over with a smile and asked how she could help. The smile immediately disappeared when she saw the gift certificate. She took it from me, told me to wait, and disappeared into the back. A couple of minutes later, she asked if we wanted anything else (the smile and cheerful attitude gone) and handed me a bag. I asked if we could choose which cake we wanted and she grunted no. So we took our spoils, and left. It was a big cheesecake, I'll give them that. But beyond it's size, it had nothing, really NOTHING going for it. 1) When I took it out of the box, hours later, it was still cold. Ice cold. Wonder how long ago it had been prepared and frozen. This was not a fresh cheesecake. 2) So maybe it's only my experience, but I'd never had a cheesecake without a crust. Boring. 3) it was tasteless. It felt like gelatin in my mouth. No sweet, creamy texture. It wasn't a luxurious, decadent , rich cake. It was pretty close to unappetizing. We cut the cake into thin slices, and not one person at the table finished their slice. Not one. What a disappointing end to a beautiful meal. Will I go back? No. Because of the cheesecake for sure, but also because of the attitude of the woman who served us. Can't imagine how this place has such great ratings, unless the cake they make in exchange for the gift certificates they donate to charitable causes is not the same as the cakes they sell. read more

The quality of the delicacies is superb The staff is wonderful Andy and Brian are wonderful, knowledgeable and very helpful! read more

I got the regular cheesecake from here. It was a huge one and i almost finished it in one sitting. After half of it was gone, all I could think was. What kind of black magic is this?! It was all cake and no graham cracker crumbs. So if you love cheesecake but is meh about the crust, this is the place for you read more

I really don't think I have to write a review on this place, it's well known enough for everything being amazing. Wish I lived about 6hrs closer! My advice to you? Do not go here if you are trying to watch your weight and make sure there is plenty of room in your back seat since you'll end up getting 1 of everything. read more

Once again thank you so much Cascon, and Brian for providing us with a fabulous assortment of pastries, cookies and a beautiful cake for my daughter's bridal shower. The guests were raving About the cake! We went a little unconventional with the filling, and everyone couldn't stop talking about it. Yellow cake, with a layer of Lemon cream - the kind you find in lemon meringue - and vanilla custard with fresh strawberries. What a combination! Also very very fresh. But most of all my daughter was thrilled and excited and loved it. Thank you again cascon for providing me with a memorable and delicious dessert for a very special day! read more

As Tina Turner's song says Simply the Best. I've had cheesecakes from other places in the area, from popular places, famous places, and supermarkets, and none beat Cascon. They also have Sugar free cakes and cheesecakes for those that need. I don't go anywhere else for my cheesecakes. read more

I was directed to Cascon after i had a cake from my own friends birthday and LOVED it and she told me she got it from here. Mustve misunderstood since when i called to order a cake, the guy had no idea what i was talking about BUT said he could do something similar and it woudn't be a problem. i got a 10 inch chocolate cake with tri color cookies layered by raspberry jam (or whatever it was, i forget..) for $40 and it was the best cake i've ever had. TO the point where my friends commented on how good it was and had seconds during my birthday. Can't wait to get more cakes from here. So worth the 20 minute drive from Elmhurst and thru shitty traffic. DELICIOUS read more

Have been to this bakery several times in past and have had delicious cheesecake and cakes. However, got a layer cake for my birthday today and the cake itself seemed stale, especially the bottom layer. It was not moist and creamy, rather it was tough and hard. Perhaps it was left over from the weekend,not sure but Very very disappointing to share with family for a special occasion. read more

The worlds greatest cheesecake. Period. A Whitestone institution that delivers every time you need selective goodies. If it's Italian-they've got it and all is delicious, fresh-and great prices! The Cheesecake ( did I mention it already) is the greatest. Plain cheesecake is always available, with custom cheesecake it's advisable to order ahead. Two sizes, but get the large. You know you'll be wanting more after the first bite I bring all sorts of goodies to my bakery deprived relatives in New Jersey. I like to remind them what they left behind. Namely Cascon. In any event, come and ENJOY!! read more

Love this place. Neighborhood gem. The best cannoli cake by far. I've ordered at least a dozen so far and always a crowd pleaser.

Thank you SO much for "baking us a cake as fast as you can!" With less than 24 hours, you duplicated a photo into a fantastic looking and incredibly delicious tasting wedding shower cake. And, the rainbow cookies were over the rainbow fabulous! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! read more

Their cannoli cream is the best in Whitestone and the cake itself was so moist and delicious. Everyone at our party loved it! read more

Oreo cheesecake is absolutely EVERYTHING! Point blank and the period! #crustless #morecakeplease

They sell sugar free cookies and cakes. I have had their sugar free cheesecake, pignoli nut cookies and rainbow cookies. The cheesecake and pignoli nuts cookies are great. Dont taste sugar free. Makes me wonder if it is true. It probably is. Just doesn't taste like it is sugar free. The rainbow cookie is okay. Not the same as the real one. I bought a sugar free cannoli cake for a friend....I'll have to steal a slice from her! And I'll let you know!...update....I had the cannoli cake...dry and tasteless. I had the pignoli nut cookies a few more times and it was extremely soggy. I dont know if there was a problem with the batch or if that is the way it is supposed to be. I dont like soggy! The seven layer cake with chocolate frosting didn't taste like chocolate. The cheesecake is decent. Still looking for a good sugar free bakery. read more
