This has to be one of the most creative little bakeries I have been to!! It's a tiny shop tucked…read morein Old Howard Beach, just steps from the JFK/Howard Beach station. I was headed to Howard Beach and this was a top Yelp suggestion. There were all kinds of wonderful goodies that made for some great holiday boxes to drop off on my next few stops. What was really nice is that they were decorated in fall colors with fun little Thanksgiving touches. There was a wide variety of chocolate covered Oreos with turkeys, leaves, pilgrims and cornucopia. Graham crackers and Rice Krispies were also dipped and decorated. And, God, I wish I had saved a chocolate and sprinkle-covered Twinkie for myself!! Everything was tucked into unique pink boxes, which helps these treats stand out from the usual bakery fare. Next time I'm going for the chocolate pizzas, cupcakes, and beautifully decorated cakes. The young lady behind the counter was also the baker and she could not have been nicer. She was so helpful! From all of the items on display, it's clear she takes a lot of pride in her work. I can't wait to go back and stock up. Definitely check out this wonderful spot!!

I stopped in to grab a birthday cake. Upon entering I wasn't greeted so I said hello to the…read morecashier. The only person that was in my view. She never responded. Another person walked near where I was standing and asked if they could help me. I asked her the flavor of a particular cake, then selected the cake I wanted. She asked if I wanted happy birthday on it and I told her yes. She asked the cashier if she could ring me up. She asked if I was paying cash or card, I told her cash. I gave her the money, she gave me back my change then walked away from the register and went in the back, she never said thank or anything else. The young lady that was helping me put my cake in a bag and thanked me for coming in. I asked her name because she was very polite and displayed great customer service. Her name was Angelica.

Been patronizing this Bakery since 1989; lived in Howard Beach for 20 years When the original…read moreowners a father and a daughter team ran it for years that's when sugar bun was a 5 star + bakery !! Now in my opinion it's at best-of-three star bakery Café ; everything changes new owner he's not so friendly prices are through the roof; the staff that he has he's very blessed because they are very professional friendly and fast..... Coffee is fantastic; their baked items are very good; prices are insane..... I get it we all know that inflation is up everywhere & on everything but a cup of coffee and my favorite a tea biscuit toasted with butter and jelly $7.00 that's insane.. I still patronize this business on special occasions and holidays like i said all their bakery items are good but for a everyday breakfast stop definitely not.... They do offer Breakfast & Lunch they have a full kitchen & menu; They do have plenty of seating; Parking out front on the boulevard it's a hit or miss; we have commercial trucks so we can't use their parking lot in the rear.... I do recommend if you're in the area; But would I drive out of my way to get here Nooooo Sir !!! Best Regards, Greg D & Family

She told us if the coffee was too bitter after trying, she could add more syrups/sugar/flavor etc. There were many flavor options and really wanted to try them all. Cheesecake was delicious! The fruits were fresh and the cheesecake was creamy and thick. We also got cupcakes and my favorite was the passion fruit tres leche. So good, never thought of seeing those flavors together. The croissants are perfectly crispy and have great flavor! We had the ham and cheese, the plain, and the guava. Very unique and again so good.

Any thing you can think of.... Butter cookies anything. Go here! Once you eat bread or Italian cookies from this place you will hate the people that get to live near here. The service is great. The ambiance is all New York should be. Nice people that don't waste your time. Get in and get out! Enjoy!

There was a large display of items available, which made it seem like many of the pastries had been sitting out for a while. I mentioned the issue, but unfortunately the owner didn't acknowledge my concern. It's disappointing because I always hope to support local businesses, but freshness and customer service are important. Don't spend your money here!

It wasn't bad tho it did have crunchy edges. Wasn't sure if that's how it's supposed to be but it wasn't bad. Just not what I expected. The brownie was very rich and it took me two days to eat it because of that. Guess that's good cause I enjoyed it for longer. This was $3 so not too bad. Lady at the register was very nice so no complaints there. I also love walking in cause the smell is yummy. Lol! I think I'll slowing try more items since the brownie wasn't bad.

Stunning cake made by rose valley cakes for my head nurse's retirement party at Bellevue Hospital…read more I showed the owner my cake topper that I made and he knew exactly how to design a cake that not only tasted amazing but also complimented the theme and vision I had for this event. This is the third time I am using this company for a major event and they never disappoint me. Thank you to Balbinder the owner who is always professional and friendly. I always feel like family when I step into his bakery. Thank you once again They also did my wedding cake included in these photos which matched perfectly with my decor and was everything I envisioned it to be. The cake tasted amazing as always so much so that my husband decided to feed himself a few times LOL. I think the photos speak for themselves when it comes to how delicious it was.

It's such a reliable option when you want something quick without sacrificing quality. Their artisan breads are baked daily, and the bakery section is impressive offering whole cakes, cheesecakes, and a variety of desserts and pastries. I also love browsing their coffee bean section. There's a wide variety to choose from, which makes it fun to try something new. If you're coming strictly for groceries, just keep in mind that some items can be on the pricier side. That said, they do run occasional specials, so it's worth keeping an eye out.
