The team LOVED the cake so much that we ended up placing another order for the same week Their customer service is great and everyone is so kind! When it was time for pickup, I was honestly surprised at how big the place actually is. It's a bakery AND a deli, they do catering, and they even have seating inside! The ambience is very New York feeling It literally made me feel like I was back at home. And they really have EVERYTHING in there! They have iced lattes like cookie butter, pumpkin spice, and so many more flavors. Pies, cookies, cakes, pastries, ALLLL the desserts you can think of. Everything looked amazing and I wanted to try one of everything I definitely will be back for a sub, and everything else of course! Bova's Bakery whoooo??

I came here for baklava and was pretty impressed by both the bakery and the retail area. If you…read morehave Greek people in your life, this place is worth the trip for imported treats and baked goods. I did notice they also had a refrigerated section with prepared foods like pastitsio and moussaka. It's a small shop, but very clean and has very interesting food at every corner. Everything was very fairly priced. The baklava is la carte. I got a small assortment of about 7 small-medium sized pieces of baklava and my total came to under $20. The girl behind the counter assured me that the majority of what I bought stays fresh for weeks or even months and she gave me storage tips for the custard I purchased. I will def be back!

Service was friendly and prompt. It looked like food is served from another window and drinks are ready at the end of the counter. Looking at the display of treats, so many things looked so good! But as we can't try them all in one visit, we ordered two of the Citrus Blueberry Corn Slices and two Sticky Bun Lattes (iced and hot). Those corn slices I can write home about. Or better yet, post about it on Yelp! They were moist and not crumbly, the blueberries added an extra pop of juicy flavor and paired so well. It was the perfect snack. The Sticky Bun Lattes were a great warm up for the opposing grey rain sky. Sweet hot caffeine, is there anything better?

Look for the adorable little red truck outside and you've arrived at Fatties!…read more It's such an interesting concept, they sell savory and sweet items all in a ball like shape. There are a couple breakfast "chubbies" with things like eggs, cheese, and sausage. There's a Mac n' cheese chubbie, snd 3 flavors of Fatties (aka cookies). Drinks and ice cream are also available, I ordered a Nutty Buddy fattie and it was warm and delicious! I did have 1/2 and saved some for the next day but I think it's best when it's warm (as all cookies are!). I would've loved it if they had more than three flavors to choose from since they also offer cookies by the dozen, and it would be more fun to have a bigger variety in your box, but regardless, what they do have to offer is yummy.

Also, the cinnamon bread is absolutsly delicious- have them slice it for you! Reminds me of childhood. Yes, it's sketchy on the inside. They aren't going for ambiance here.

Everything I have ever had there is ok at best, and the prices are exorbitant. My experience is hit-or-miss with the service -- there is one woman who works there who is hostile and insulting, very weird. Other times, the counter staff is just inept (friendly is nice, but friendly and inept is not). They do things like pack savory items with bakery goods and more than once I have opened the bag to find a complete mess from an exploded donut or from icing all over the packaging of a sandwich. Speaking of sandwiches, the bread has been burned on my order more than once and the filling is so skimpy you can barely tell its there. I know we're all shocked at rising food costs but charging $11 for a small sandwich with barefy any filling is not fair. Other local shops are not fleecing customers this way. Do not recommend.
