I visited this place for the first time this afternoon.
I bought two desserts; the apricot crumb square and the creme brûlée. The apricot crumb square's crumbs were soggy; and the filling, disgustingly sweet. The creme brûlée was mediocre.
On the counter was a free sample of a pecan-chocolate ring. There was nothing nearby it to serve yourself with, so anybody wanting a taste would have to pick it up with his or her bare hands. I had to tell the counter person to put out a serving utensil for sanitary reasons. She thanked me for my "good idea".
She also told me that she is the daughter of the owner and that the place opened in April. I was the only person in the store.
Before I left, I asked the young woman for utensils to eat my desserts with. She gave me a fork, whose tines she touched with her bare hands. I had to tell her that she should not do that.
I hope this place gets inspected soon by The Suffolk County Department of Health Service. The bakery would definitely FAIL the critical element of "Good Retail Practices" .
I will never visit The Copiague Bakery again. If I never go back there, it would be too soon! If I could give them zero stars, I would! read more
