New to the area but we've been invited to two birthday parties where they purchased the birthday…read morecake from here. One of my kids' birthdays is coming up so I decided to keep that going. I haven't tried too many cakes in the area so I can't truly compare to give it a full 5 star rating BUT the comments I hear a lot of is they use fresh fruit in their cakes. I usually get birthday cakes from Asian bakeries where fresh fruit is expected so that was an interesting comment to make from my POV. The fruit birthday cakes I've had from here are pretty good. Not too sweet and the most interesting fruit fillings I've had in cake - banana! Among other fruits. The cake isn't as light/airy as I'm used to but not bad at all. The buttercream is on the sweeter side for me but okay if you eat it with the cake and don't leave it until the end. It's not a terribly thick layer. But the cakes were super colorful and it's a lot of food coloring with how saturated the colors are. Your mouth and tongue will be stained if you're not careful. Having said that, I ordered an Oreo cake because that's why my kid wants. BUT I did request that instead of buttercream on the outside, it'll be whipped cream. Still buttercream on the inside though. I'll update this review after the party as it hasn't happened yet. This is a shop that sort of takes you back when you walk in. It's located in a corner shopping center of sorts and they have a shared parking lot so no need to hunt for parking. It has a nostalgic feel with display cases along much of the length, refrigerated sections for drinks (some were Asian which surprised me) and ice cream cake. Plus a wall of candles and birthday cake decorations because they do take a lot of orders for special occasions. No extra frills and nothing for decor's sake. There was a steady line when I went on Sunday morning. Two doors, one designed to be the entrance and the other the exit (but there isn't a police so use whichever door, but the line starts at the entrance door). As you walk up to the counter, someone will help you out. They've got all sorts of things from pastries to cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cannoli's, pies... even a tres leches section that was woefully empty. The only thing is for some odd reason, there are signs of what the items were, but absolutely no prices were posted in the display cases. At least none that I was aware of. I was passed onto the manager to take my order. It took a little time because I'm pretty sure she also decorates cakes and some people were waiting on them but I eventually got my order in. A 9" Oreo cake (for up to 16 people) with whipped cream exterior and birthday message is about $75. I added on a tres leches on a whim - they sold out early but a new batch just finished so I got one straight from the kitchen - was roughly $10. Receipts are old school, orders taken on a paper pad with a carbon copy given to you. I've had a number of tres leches cakes before and this is one of a kind! Deliciously moist, whipped topping - and the cake is halved. In between, they put fruit in there! Plus a maraschino cherry on top and cinnamon dusted over it. It was nowhere near "too sweet" and I rather enjoyed it. A lot. In fact, I'm thinking of calling in to see if I can get some for the party for the adults. My picky daughter loved it. Overall, I have a pretty good impression of this bakery and I'm looking to trying more items over time.

Upon entry, I believe I was met with a cashier by the name of Noah. He was so pleasant and vibrant explaining all the different bakery items and everything that went into the coffees that we requested. There were so many items to choose from. I was so overwhelmed, but by the time I walked out, I walked away with some goodies. The coffees were delicious and so were the bakery items. I really enjoyed how this place was open on a Sunday, as where I'm from most of the bakeries and cafés are generally closed on Sundays and Mondays; so it was nice to be able to find a really good coffee and a muffin on a Sunday afternoon. I will definitely come back anytime I'm in this area.

Prior to that, Mr. Cioffi was the head pastry chef at Sardi's restaurant in NYC, and other well-known restaurants in NYC before that. They are famous for their rugalach, flaky butter pastries rolled with raisins and apricot or raspberry jam, cinnamon and walnuts, or chocolate chunks. At eight to a pound, these little jewels pack a sweet punch. I've been eating bagels all my life. I teethed on them as a baby, Unlike many cardboard-flavored bagels, these have a subtle, yeasty flavor like a hot soft pretzel, and the ideal, chewy density. For me, these are the best bagels anywhere around here. Swiss Pastry Shoppe also bakes a variety of breads and rolls fresh daily. I like their pumpernickel and rye breads. You will also find seasonal holiday specialties here, challahs for Shabat and for the Jewish holidays, and panettone and beautiful stollen at Christmas time. Open Wed-Sun. 7:30 AM. Best to get there early. Their baked goods are made in small batches, and often sell out quickly.

We were in a rush, so I only got to sample two of the cookies, but I have plans of dancing around the menu on my next visit. The chocolate chip cookie was an 8, because it tastes really good, and I like how they did a different spin and made it very dense in the middle. It's like you're biting into a chocolate chip cookie Mountain, and still remained soft through and through, very impressive/ nice touch! The strawberry crunch cookie was the true star of the day, on a scale of 1 to 10, this cookie was 100 easy!! it was extremely soft, and moist, just how I like my cookie ;) but seriously, this cookie slapped on every level, from the white filling and the cream on top, to the sweetness of each delicate bite. Seriously, I'm talking about the cookie still. All in all it was a great experience and Idefinitely will be returning to try more of the desserts as well as some of the items I saw on the menu.

They have a wonderful selection of sweets - especially the raspberry, apricot, and chocolate filled sandwich cookies. Also pastries and breads. All the traditional stuff and then some.

Prices may be higher than some expect, but we've found it worth it for their selection of what we like. Have not yet tried their prepared foods. There is no seating, so this is a grab and go place. Traffic can be a bear depending what time of day you go there - but if they have what you want, it's totally worth it. We'll be back...(over and over again!)
