Had the chance to visit on multiple occasions and I can start off by saying, their pastries are delectable. On each visit I've tried various selections. So far I've tried, the cheesecake brownie, linzer tarts, cocoa cupcakes, raspberry cheesecake, brownie and shortbread heart cookies. All their products are fresh and have intricate flavor profiles. For instance, I can taste a hint of almond in their brownies. Customer service is welcoming and there is always a line, but everyone is served efficiently. I really appreciate the entire experience when visiting. Kudos to the team here for curating a delicious culinary experience, and I highly recommend patronizing this fine establishment read more

The best Hamantaschen in the universe! Every year, I make a pilgrimage here in late Winter/ early Spring, around Purim (even though I am not Jewish), just to eat the Hamantaschen at Diane's bakery. Today, 3/7/26, Alex, the associate at the bakery counter, told me that the filling is a mixture of prune and apricot. The combo makes for a delicious dessert. Be sure to check the bakery out the next time you are in Roslyn Heights. You will not regret it because the vibe is so suburban chic! read more

I've been going to Diane's since 1988. I believe it to be the best bakery on LI! Everything is made with the freshest ingredients, no preservatives or dough conditions! Just total deliciousness! The cafe has great salads, quiche, everything is so yummy, and healthy! The service is great too! This place should get 10 stars! the ambiance is lovely, cozy, comfortable and beautiful plantings all around! enjoy your visit! your tummy will thank you! read more

Went looking for the best banana cream pie on Long Island, and I believe I've found it here. Absolutely delicious, fresh, and has the wow factor... memories of childhood. Everything here looked amazing but I was on a mission and I know now, the best banana cream pie is made here at Diane's Bakery. Excellent service and great presentation of all their bakery items. Highly recommend read more

Adorable baker with self serve breakfast. We came early and snagged a table. We opted for the BLT and the sweet potato BĘC. Everything was premade (in house) and heated up. Flavors were delicious. Coffee was fresh. We also got the apple crumb cake and biscotti to go. Super cute spot full of regular customers. read more

It's my go to place for angle cake and pecan pie! I don't even like pecans, but their pecan pie changed me! My entire family can't get enough of their pecan pie, which is steak house level good. Their angle cake is also unparalleled. Their food cafe is also a local favorite, a great place to purchase panini sandwiches or food boxes to go (great variety and charge by weight). The service is always friendly and fast. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you choose to stay. read more

Came in for a ladies' brunch. Salad bar was fresh, loved the tuna and chicken salad! We got pesto pasta and wraps. Our favorite part was the coconut cake (recommended by John, Diane's husband!) The bakery is a lovely mainstay and family owned, which imparts a homey and comforting feel. We can't wait to return. Outside seating on the patio was wonderful in the weather. read more

Happy to finally check out this place! It's in an interesting area but the store environment is quite nice. You can sit indoor for AC or outdoor for fresh air and vitamin D. We stopped by for pastries. There are lots of choices, too bad there were not label or menu for the pastry section, we had to ask the lady what's this what's that (awkward to keep asking and hard to understand her accent). I liked the two pastries we got, both have good balances among flavors, nothing overpowering. $9 for both the raspberry cheesecake bar (?) and apricot lemon crumb (?). Would like to come back to try savory food next time. Take credit cards & no credit card fees. read more

Go for brunch and sit outside. So many good healthy choices and French toast is incredibly yummy.

I bought a slice of chocolate cake here and angel food cake as well as a croissant Everything was flavorful. My favorite was the chocolate cake. it wasn't too sweet, yet was still fudgy!! Parking was easy to find as well around the bakery, so you don't have to walk far Will be returning soon read more

I hate it when bakeries make their desserts and goods too sweet, I'm glad this place bake their goods perfectly. Ordered the mini apricot raspberry pie and their chocolate swirl cheesecake. Both were tasty and will most likely make me a regular customer. Wished they labeled what their bake goods were through the window, but they all looked good. read more

We were looking for a quick light bite for breakfast and noticed the back patio yesterday, so we figured why not lol A little pricy and a little confusing. If you walk in from the street, you are in their bakery. Lots and lots of options, from crumb cake, pies and so many other baked goods. Walk down the stair and you're in their 'deli' side. I think there had to be at least a dozen salad options, bean, beets, chicken and so many more - everything looked delish. They have a chalk board for the daily specials. Must son got the challah French toast, he said it was good. I was hoping for the breakfast panini but they were either out or it wasn't available. Went with the breakfast wrap, which they toasted in the panini press - it was amazing. read more

This was such a cute spot! I was driving and needed a little afternoon pick me up and came across Diane's Bakery Cafe. It's located right across a parking lot underneath Northern Blvd and has plenty of seating upstairs as well as in their patio space. The front part is dedicated to their baked goods section, with the display windows stuffed with tarts and cakes and cookies, while the back part is more of their cafe section, with a multitude of paninis and salads to choose from. read more

There are better bakery and coffee choices in the area. The whole service model leaves a great deal to be desired. Prices are similar to many bakeries in the area but the product does not match in quality. Only in an extreme pinch but thats really hard to imagine since their hours aren't great. read more

Beautiful ambiance with social distancing. Additional Sheared outdoor swathing outdoors under a tent. Ample parking under the tressle. Helpfu wait staff, and wonderful bartenders making our group martinis with pomegranate. Food was delicious. I had ravioli with butternut squash. We shared dessert of angel food cake with sorbet that was perfection. A wonderful evening celebrating a dear friend's birthday. read more

I've been hearing about Diane's for the longest time and finally gave it a try a few months ago. I went back again recently for lunch. I wasn't disappointed either time... it's located in a convenient location elite parking, the staff was helpful, and the peach muffin I ordered to go was amazing! You can take but they also have limited seating. The store front sells their homemade goodies, and the rear has salads and sandwiches. From the outside it looks like an old-fashioned house and the inside is very quaint. Can't wait to return again soon! read more

Food is great! I really like their prepared salads and lunch items in the back. There are seats there as well as upstairs. The front has a very nice selection of pastries, pies and other desserts. The service is not great. They don't change their gloves at the front of the store when handling the desserts between customers. read more

Adorable spot inside and out but got a big chocolate-chip angel food cake and was not a fan. It was nice and fluffy but very sweet and my whole fam ended up throwing out most of it. Would still come back and try something else here, but definitely something smaller to try. read more

Diane's had very good cookies and tasty salad. Breakfast options were good; took some biscotti for the road and it was very delicious as well. If I could drive, I could go there more. Unfortunately I can only hitchhike to Diane's. read more

Love the space and prepared foods. The sandwiches and salads are very good. I also enjoy their coffee. We recently catered a party from Diane's and folks loved the food. Their pastries however are pretty blah. I have sampled a number of muffins- they are fine. They offer pre-packaged cookies. Their brownies are fine. I have to find something special at the bakery. read more

Very nice ambiance and engaging staff! Would recommend the chocolate pecan tart :) a must try for sure.

This is a lovely spot with a huge amount of outdoor seating spread over 3 separate spaces, uncovered but with some umbrellas. The tiny storefront is where the baked good are, in the back is a small salad/soup/iced coffee/tea bar where you are helped to build a salad bar type salad. close to 11 dollars a pound is a bit steep but the quality is very nice and the access to the patio's beats sitting inside a dim restaurant. There is an upstairs space as well, and a few tables for 2 around the salad area. I was taken aback at 2 salads minimally adorned with one iced coffee & one iced tea totaling 38 dollars, but when broken down it really is not that atypical to spend 13+ on a salad, then 5 on the drinks each... I enjoyed the whole experience, and met my oldest friend who lives in Great Neck, so it was a happy medium and I look forward to returning soon. There was a small space next door that was hosting a shower of some kind and it looked lovely. read more

The lemon bars from this bakery were touted by Alex Guarneschelli from the Food Network as the "Best Thing [She] Ever Ate," so I, of course, bookmarked it as a place to try when/if the situation ever presented itself. So, of course, on our North Shore excursion in April, we found our way there to try them... and a few other things, too. Oh man, I hate when things don't quite live up to the hype. Presentation wise, this adorable little bakery gets 8 stars. I loved everything I viewed, and everything looked so delicious and amazing. They had lemon bars, rugelach, cookies, cakes, and tarts. I bought a lemon bar, a regular brownie, cheesecake brownie, a little basket of rugelach and another little basket of cute little cookies. Apparently, they don't know Ina Garten... or even if they do know her, they don't follow her way of baking, which is to add SALT in all baked items. With salt, it makes the flavors pop like you wouldn't believe. Without it, they just exist, without dancing on one's tongue. So when I tried the rugelach from here, it barely had flavor. The cookies were very mild. The brownies, esp. with all that chocolate, had no pop whatsoever, just miles of chocolate with nowhere to go. As for the lemon bars, they were good, yes, but a bit much lemon for my liking... almost bitter. Overall, I was disappointed, and we ended up throwing out most of what was purchased, even the lemon bars. All because of the missing salt and/or minimal flavor. And if they DO use salt, it was definitely missing from the batches of sweets that I bought. That said, the texture and presentation were very good. They were just missing on flavor. That's kind of a big deal to me. Anyway, I feel bad for not liking this place more. I really had high hopes for here, but I like flavors to "pop." I am adamant about it. read more

Delicious little bakery!!! Bought the chocolate chip cookies and the cheesecake brownies .. will be back for more everything looked so good!

I lived in Roslyn for nearly 2 years, this hidden gem is only 2 minutes away from me and I can't believe I've never came here before! I've been going to Buttercooky Bakery for awhile now to get desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings but after visiting Diane's Bakery today, I won't be returning there again. I came here on Super Bowl Sunday around 9am with the intention of getting a good pecan pie to eat after dinner. I actually did a Google search and this place popped up 2nd on the list, 1st one was way too far. Upon entering, I was fascinated by everything I saw behind the glass and throughout the store. Diane's literally had every kind of dessert out there (well maybe not every kind but you know what I mean)- scrumptious looking pies, cakes, tarts, muffins, butter cookies, brownies & breads even nicely packaged baked goods for on the go and gifting! You'll definitely find something good to satisfy your sweet tooth here! Not to mention, there's also a cafe in the back with a variety of salads, sandwiches, soups, paninis, quiches and weekend breakfast too plus 2 floors of seating. I got a freshly made pecan pie that was just brought out and ate half of it while watching the game. Honestly the best pecan pie I've ever had! So good! The last one I had was from a farm store around Halloween time and it was atrocious! This pecan pie was not overly sweet, smothered with delicious, crunchy pecans on top and the crust was my favorite part- so flakey and flavorful that melds perfectly with the filling although it was a bit runny and sticky. Last but not least, the girls working there were very friendly and helpful. The place looks simple on the outside but inside, it's another story. There's a parking lot and plenty of street parking available. I can't wait to go back next week to try more of their desserts as well as their weekend breakfast and cafe items! read more

Small bakery, select fewer nice items. So for non commercial, original good quality a good find. Saw a cake there that they used to have more than ten years ago in their once Syosset location.. Nice chocolate with ganache. Could see it was the same .. was good then.. But went with grab and go brownies and a pecan tart. Good as expected! read more

A truly hidden gem! It's literally tucked away in Roslyn under a bridge. If I didn't glance to my left while driving, I would have never realized it was there. Thank you to fellow Yelpers for your reviews of this place. Before discovering this place, my go to pie spot was Briermier Farms way out on LI. I'm so happy to find a place closer to home with amazing baked goods. You're greeted with the yummy smell of freshly baked pies, cookies and treats when you walk in. They have a nice selection displayed. It was hard to decide what to get. Thankfully they have a few pies that are sold in a smaller size. I decided to get a strawberry rhubarb pie, a banana cream pie (bc of the reviews on Yelp) and a slice of coffee cake. All were delicious, but I really enjoyed the strawberry rhubarb pie. The crust was so tender and flaky! I think I could've finished the whole thing on my own! They also have a cafe in the back that you can sit down and eat in. I definitely will come back for more pie and to try their brunch! read more

We go here a lot for lunch and during covid they started pre packaging ever so it was not what we loved. Now that covid is over we are able to get a little bit of this and that again so we are happy to return for lunch. We need the bakery to go back to selling individual cookies again though. We love a quick sweet treat after lunch and they are still selling everything prepackaged. Big no no for us. Please bring back the single cookies so we can buy what we like. read more

I've been back here several times now and each time I enter this small, crowded bakery, I bring home a delicious pie. I've tried a variety of their pies and the most memorable ones are the triple berry pie and pumpkin pie. Their strawberry rhubarb is disappointing. Service is usually quick and served with a smile. 4 stars. I occasionally will stop by the cafe and grab a healthy salad. I wish I could say the service was fast and friendly on this side but it's really not. When I came in last Sunday, I ordered my meal from a bunch of teenagers who clearly didn't enjoy their jobs. I was met with a lack of enthusiasm, cold/ distant responses and scanty portions. The service was painstakingly slowww, even the lady behind me was shaking her head. The line formed almost out the door not because of the salads but because of how slow the pace of the service was. I've never been to an establishment where it looked like the staff was made up of immature, rude kids. Thank goodness this place served good food or else I would never return. I'm not sure if it's because the boys in the cafe are poorly managed or if the cafe just hires boys that have no work experience; however, they need to reconsider revamping the team. I hope they fix this. This is really a 2 star review because of the absence of service but I added +1 for the food. read more

Great for breakfast or lunch. Delicious croissants and muffins. Also really like the buffet for lunch as you can have as little or as much as you want. Flight of stairs to get to the bathroom /more seating (except for outdoors) is the only down side. read more

We love Diane's BUT we don't always get to order what we want because they're often sold out of our favorites -- like chili and tomato soup... If they always had what we wanted it would be perfect. Bc it bums us out when we have to pick something else we give 4 stars. *We love everything, but don't recommend the mac & cheese -- it's too dry after it's heated up... EVERYTHING ELSE chef's kiss. Four stars when we can't get what we want, five when we do! read more

I'm a Roslyn resident and I come to Diane's all the time for coffee and baked goods. I invited new moms and dads from the Roslyn school today for a gathering at Diane's this morning to support local business. We had about 12 people. Sat outside at the patio where the shaded area was. Everybody all bought coffee and pastries. We arranged the tables and chairs in a long row so we could see each other. We were told by Diane, the owner, that she wasn't happy that we rearranged her tables and sat together in a row. Why? The place wasn't crowded with other guests. We all bought and paid for goods. I couldn't help but thinking that because we were all Asians?! I bet if it was a bunch of Jewish parents she would greet and welcome them with a smile. She could ask us kindly to put the tables and chairs back once we finish, which we did at the end. But with the unwelcoming remarks I will never come to support this business again. I don't say this lightly but I felt it was racism in every way. I'm truly disappointed. I like Diane's but the owner was truly unkind. read more

Wonderful food. We get their cookies for almost every major holiday and we absolutely love them. Look forward to them all year long. But the management and the service is abysmal. In the age of COVID-19 there is No Excuse not to have social distancing measures in place for an indoor operation. Period. It's a small and crowded bakery... so it's even more important they take this seriously. They don't. They need to make people wait on line outside. And they just fail to do this. If they're not careful, the state will fine them thousands of dollars, and the state will be right to do it! read more

If it were only a bakery it would be 5 stars. All of the pies are absolutely amazing. Strawberry rhubarb is always a go to. The plum tart had an almond custard or marzipan - can't remember, but it was out of this world! The cookies - i've been eating since age 5 and they are so buttery and filled with goodness, they melt in your melt. The food is pretty good - great for on the go (gets a bit loud if you're planning on heading here for a weekend brunch) Always love the salmon and chicken. The salads are ... eh, not bad but not great either. Hubby loves their drinks. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday and this place was crowded, with barely anywhere to sit. We had to sit outside even though there was a light rain. That being said everyone that worked there was very nice and it was relatively easy to order. I had half of the quiche Lorraine, and a cup of their turkey chili. The quiche was absolutely delicious. Their is just something so great about eggs cheese and ham all nestled into a delicious flaky pie crust, it really just warms the soul. The cup of turkey chili was not as good as the quiche. It was very flavorful but for me I would have appreciated a bit more spice. Overall though the flavor was very good. Diane's bakery is a very cute cafe in Rosyln and definitely worth trying. I really wish I got a chance to try some of their pastries becuase they looked absolutely delicious. read more

I often go here for quick brunches or to grab a sweet treat, and absolutely adore Diane's for both their bakery section and kitchen/lunch section. The two golden stars of Diane's are definitely their 1) Turkey Chili and 2) Cheesecake bars; I actually dream of them sometimes. If you are not a fan of sweet chili with lots of beans and meat, and/or cheesecake bar, not too worry, because every other baked good is also amazing, and their salads, pastas, etc, are also very solid. Location wise also very nice! There is a parking lot, seating upstairs and downstairs, as well as a cute little outdoor patio for when the weather gets warmer. Things do get quite pricey here, but all my food has always been quality and consistent every single visit. Food: 9/10 Place: 8/10 Price: 5/10 read more

You can't go wrong with Diane's baked goods. This time we had the Apricot Almond Crumb Cake and Cinnamon Walnut Rugelach. So buttery and delicious. Perfectly cooked. I took off a star because they guy helping us was a little rude and not very helpful. After the crowd died a bit, we went back for a brownie and Raspberry Cheese crumb cake, the o woman who helped us was much nicer and congenial. It was almost as if the first guy didn't need to be that nice because Diane's will never have a shortage of patrons. It's probably true because their baked goods are that good. If we hadn't gone back for additional goodies to take to go, we wouldn't have met the woman who made up for the first guy. Anyway, I'm a fan of the food but this isn't the first time I thought the staff was gruff and not very friendly or helpful. Perhaps they are used to the patrons being rude. When i ever happen to be in Roslyn, I do pop by and I would recommend. Just know that you might get someone rude; you might not. read more
