3.5 stars (I want to…read morepreface that my review is for a single rainbow cookie, so take it for what it's worth; I just want to make sure that I have a record of it as a place I have tried.) I absolutely adore rainbow cookies, so I was thrilled to see a platter of them from the Paulanto Bakery at a party that I was attending in the area. Since there were several appealing desserts on offer, I only grabbed one of the colorful morsels, but I just found it mediocre. I felt that there was not enough chocolate around the edges and the coating that was there seemed more like light, milk chocolate than it did like the traditional rich, dark chocolate. I also thought the cookie would have benefitted from more almond paste or even a dedicated layer of marzipan. With that being said, it was very fresh and had the perfect consistency. If I see them again, I will gladly give them another try.

The first time was during the pandemic and it was understandable why they would close early and why the baked goods weren't up to expectations, however, the following few times afterwards were a hit or miss. Sometimes the cakes were overly too sweet to the point where my teeth hurts. But maybe that's just my preference so you can discard. You might love sweet sweet cakes but sometimes it is the perfect sweetness. However, the one thing that I find difficult about the bakery is the level of freshness. It's a gamble! On 3 different occasions I have asked the counter girls (who are all very nice btw) if the pastries were baked the same day. Out of the 3 visits there was a young lady that was extremely honest and told me which was made today and which was baked yesterday. I appreciated her honesty, and at that visit, the cakes that were baked same day were delicious, fresh and soft totally 4.5 stars. However, the following next few visits it wasn't that great. I would ask the same question and another young girl would answer it was all the same day which is not true because out of the slices I bought (and four cake slices this past week) only half were very soft and fresh. The other two were stale and some of the cream was sticky. I mean is it annoying that I ask ? Sure. But if it was all baked same day and have consistency I wouldn't need to ask all the time. I keep coming back hoping I get fresh cakes every time. I do love that they close at 9 PM so if you are very desperate for something sweet, then they are the spot to go to. Otherwise, this place is a gamble, hit or miss, which is unfortunate because I live so close to here, I can always walk down the street. The store itself is efficient with many counter assistants, fast service, they take card or cash and the prices are very affordable. No places to sit but it's alright. Unfortunately I didn't finish any of the slices in photo. $18 down the drain. Maybe I'll get better luck next time.

The bakery itself has an old-fashioned charm and a nice variety of cakes, pastries, cookies by the pound, donuts, and cake pops, which initially seemed promising. We bought two Valentine's Day cake pops, one large Linzer tart cookie, one Oreo cake slice, one strawberry shortcake slice, and one carrot cake yule log slice. Unfortunately, every single item tasted stale and hard, and had a strange refrigerator taste. Nothing tasted fresh, and it was a big letdown considering how good everything looked. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this bakery based on our experience.

It's super tiny inside and only 3-5 people can comfortably stand to order. We got a few cookies and were on our way! Their cookies are all in the ~$4 range which is pretty fair for these specialty flavors and good quality cookies. My favorites in order were the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie, the Banana Pudding Cookie, the Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie, and lastly, the Ube Cookie. The Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was gooey, sweet, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm a sucker for banana so I very much enjoyed the Banana Pudding Cookie. You taste actual banana! This is 10x better than the one Magnolia Bakery has! The Matcha w White Chocolate Chip Cookie had a gentle bitterness/umami flavor that was offset by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The Ube Cookie was also good but surprisingly the ube didn't shine through as much here. All in all, you will not have a bad bite here and it's all a matter of preference. So glad I finally stopped by!

As I made my journey to Ulta, I saw this intriguing bakery with bright lights and bright pink colors. I made a mental note to stop by on my way out, which I did. Cee Cee's Cupcake Palace is a black and family owned business in the mall. They seem to specialize in these massive cupcakes with some flavors being named after some of our favorite soul food desserts, such as sweet potato pie and banana pudding. Those are the two flavors I decided to buy. Service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. The cupcakes themselves were just okay to me. I like moist cupcakes and these were a little dry. The toppings and fillings helped add a little moisture to the cake. Nevertheless and overall, it's a pretty solid spot. It's not something I'm in a rush to return to, but would be willing to try again at another time.

They have a wide variety of super unique flavor combos like Snowball, Gingerbread and Brooklyn Black out. Counter staff is friendly and service is quick. Like everything in NY it's on the expensive side with cupcakes ranging from $4-$5. They also don't seem to price by 1/2 dozen or dozen so it means if you want a dozen you're paying at least $50.

I wasn't greeted, and when I asked for a cupcake, the employee behind the counter responded with a noticeable attitude. When it came time to pay, I tapped my card and the employee simply walked away without saying a word. No receipt. No thank you. No acknowledgment. Just walked away and left me standing there. There's also an extra charge for paying by credit card, which would be easier to overlook if the actual service were remotely welcoming. And then there's the cupcake itself: dry, with icing that had already crusted over and cracked. At 10 a.m., that is not what I would consider fresh. For something so mediocre, the attitude and lack of basic customer service were especially disappointing. I've heard people in the neighborhood raise concerns about BIPOC customers being ignored or treated differently at this establishment. I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but unfortunately, my own experience left me understanding why people might have those concerns. I won't be returning. There are plenty of bakeries where you can spend your money and receive both a fresh product and basic courtesy. Save yourself the disappointment and go to the Korean bakery on 86th instead. Friendly service, clean environment, and genuinely fresh baked goods that aren't overloaded with sugar. That's what a bakery experience should be.
