We ordered our wedding cake from Lestis and were beyond impressed. Being that the cake was parve, we were worried that it would be dry, as many other parve wedding cakes we have tried in the past. It was not!! It was delicious, and all of the guests loved it! When we came in for the cake tasting, we were impressed with the unique flavors Lestis offers. We chose the espresso and truffle flavors. In addition, the whole team and Lestis were accommodating when we kept changing the design. They helped guide us and bring our vision to life. Even the specific sugar flowers we chose were perfect. We are extremely happy and would recommend Lestis to all of our friends.

This was not only the most magnificent cake, it was moist, fluffy and extremely delicious.

I'm looking forward to ordering another masterpiece for my next occasion. Best experience from ordering the cake to the delivery.

Th cake was a hit! It was beautiful. It was perfect and absolutely a hit! Delicious cake. Beautiful decorated. Right on point with my request. The best part on my end was the communication and advise. Avi made it so much easier for me, he helped me decide, offered advise and opinion, consulted on my likes and dislikes. I used them for my month era 50th last month and did not hesitate to call again for my own 30th this month. I'll post pictures !

custom ordered kosher pareve 3 tier wedding cake and a full sheet cake that matches the vanilla Mousse filling in the 3 tier cake . Cake was delivered to wedding venue and the cake tasted and looked outstanding.

A lot of people rave about their croissants as some of the best in NYC... but their kouign amann…read moredeserves even more hype! I got lucky and snagged the limited blueberry pie croissant on its last day. Their croissants are literally perfect. Light, airy honeycomb interior, a super flaky exterior, and a deep golden brown. I might just start making regular trips to South Slope for these pastries! Their chef Claudio was so friendly! He even offered to help us cut the pastries in half, which is how we got those flawless cross sections. *Blueberry Pie Croissant $11.5 The croissant was stuffed with blueberry jam and whipped vanilla cream! You could tell the jam was homemade with so many real blueberry bits, and they didn't hold back on it! The oat streusel on top was so good I was picking up every last crumb off the plate lol. * Kouign Amann $5.5 What really blew me away was their kouign amann... the outside is crunchy, sticky, and coated with a generous sprinkle of sugar. It's super buttery and pulls apart perfectly with gorgeous honeycomb layers. *Ham and Gruyere Croissant $8 I usually go for savory pastries, so this one's a solid pick especially for breakfast. They were all gone by around 10 on a weekend.

It is bright, airy, and calm in that effortless way great bakeries have. There is an open kitchen so you can actually see what is happening behind the scenes, which immediately builds trust. You walk in and it smells like butter, sugar, and real baking, not artificial sweetness. Now the pastries. The croissants are the star for a reason. Perfectly laminated, flaky on the outside, soft and rich on the inside. Not greasy, not dry, and not overly sweet. Just balanced and thoughtful. You can tell these are made by people who care deeply about technique and quality. I tried a few different items and everything felt intentional. Nothing felt mass produced or created just for social media. This is the kind of bakery where you slow down, sit with your coffee, and actually enjoy what you are eating instead of rushing out the door. Yes, there can be a line during busy hours, but that comes with places that do things right. The staff is efficient and friendly, and even when it is crowded, the energy stays relaxed and welcoming. Miolin is not trying to be trendy. It is simply very good at what it does. If you appreciate well executed pastries, clean flavors, and a beautiful space to enjoy them in, this place is absolutely worth a visit and a repeat visit. Highly recommend...

This review is WAY overdue... I needed a cake for an event at work. Something that spoke to my…read morestore, the event itself and of course tasted good. Bites Bk was my 1st choice, but due to timing I looked elsewhere. Lo and behold I ended up calling Claudine anyway... because my heart and belly wanted some of her cake. She took my call, brainstormed with me and came up with THEE perfect cake! I am normally anti fondant, due to its lack of taste. Claudine assured me taste would not be an issue... of course she was RIGHT, or I would not be writing this review! The cake became the centerpiece of my event, receiving positive reviews from my guests and coworkers! Months later... I was fortunate enough to work with Claudine on yet another event. This time we went the way of foods for a baby shower. Two words: JerkTains! If you havent... stop reading and order NOW! The sweetness of the yellow plantains combined with the jerkiness (yes I made up a word) of the meat... I knew this was going to be a hit! But you know, yoi cant just order ONE thing right? As a fan of Claudines work, I gave her the okay to bless us with custome cookies AND chocolate covered oreos, all within the colors and themes of the event! I cannot wait to host another event. I mean, if they start doing meal plans IM IN! Claudine you NEVER disappoint honey! Bites BK for ALL of your catering needs! The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Had I known how great BK Bites would be I could have spared myself HOURS of fretting. Claudine really knows how to run an excellent business. She has a responsive and professional staff who showed up promptly with the array of beautifully prepared appetizers I had chosen. They were even ABOVE and beyond serving and setting up a raft of additional catering items my daughter had required. That was one aspect of the job I was quite concerned about, but I need not have worried. Claudine is very responsive to the client and took charge of our every need for this event. She even showed up personally with her crew to get everything in place before our party. The food was excellent too. I love the variety of appetizers we picked. (fruit skewers, beef satay, caprese skewers and cucumbers w hummus along with empanadas.) You don't need to worry about a thing when BK Bites is in the job! thank you, Claudine!

I have had the honor of not only tasting Samatha's delicious cakes, cake pops, and cookies at my…read morebaby shower, but also of working with her prior to her starting her own business. Samantha is professional, sweet, charming, and super talented. For my baby shower, Samantha created a beautiful spread of Dulce De leche cake, cake pops and adorably decorated cookies (rattles, onsies, champagne glasses) for my baby shower in late February. All of which fit perfectly in the theme of twinkle twinkle little star mixed with she's about to pop theme. Through out the event guests asked me who made the cookies, cake, and cake pops because they were so good. The decoration was classy, elegant, and festive. In just one bite you can tell her ingredients are top notch. The cake and cake pops were unbelievably moist and had the perfect balance of sweetness. Yes, it's months later and I'm writing this review now. Motherhood has rushed over me like a stormy wave of physical and emotional intensity that has changed my life forever, but those cake pops and cake still float through my mind as a pleasantly sweet memory that I still smile to myself about.

I contacted her about 2 weeks before my event and thought I would not be able to book her due to short notice. Samantha is the definition of professionalism. She contacted me via phone after my email and we went over what I wanted. She allowed me to make changes and did not appear money hungry. It was so easy working with her and I will be recommending her to friends and family. When my cake was delivered, it was packaged beautifully. When I unboxed my cake, I was stunned. Her work was amazing. Booking Samantha for my daughter first birthday party was a great idea. Thank you so much! I felt so bad cutting into the cake but it was even more delicious to eat. I will be using you in the future. Your cakepops were also great!

Hit or miss with several of the bakery items. Some are tasty, others dry out pretty quickly. I…read moreshould not have to put an hourglass on the counter when it comes to purchasing this stuff. I also find a lot of it does not hold well. The cookies crumble quickly and the apricot hamantashen is fairly bland. I also got a raspberry one that is decent. Their black and white cookie stands up well to most others in the city. They also proudly sell Linzer tarts, which I had to get, and hopefully it holds up. If not, it will not bring this review down any further. I know what this bakery is without having to do that. I will stick with Cuccio's.

The space is small and dark, but everything is clean and well maintained. I remember thinking "Regina" owned the bakery when I first went inside lol, but I learned that it just means queen in Italian. As for the food, I tend to stay away from black and white cookies outside of Jewish bakeries as they're often disappointing, but these are right on par! Soft cookie, solid, but soft icing. Exactly like a Jewish bakery. The rainbow cookies have spongy cake and the right amount of jelly between layers. The chocolate isn't waxy as often happens in refrigerator cases. The pignoli cookies are another winner, although I preferred the pignoli free version, the amaretti. Chewy on the inside, a little crunch on the outside, just like they should be. And a light dusting of powdered sugar. Jam cookies and crystal sugar sprinkled cookies were similarly delicious. Apple turnover was full of apple and yummy filling, without tasting fake or preserved. Nothing at this place lasts long enough to need to be preserved! The muffins are inventive. I don't even think I covered everything... I got way too much and yet not enough. That's my only gripe is that some of the stuff I look forward to is sold out lol I really have to try the Cannoli! I know, I know... Marie is a wonderful host, as was the employee who served us. They will describe any dessert for you and box it up how you want it. They'll even make recommendations. I decided to write this review now because I can't stop thinking about going back.

And I had to come twice just for this pastry: BLACK SESAME & OSMANTHUS ROLL.   Eater has recently recognized Breadivore as the next-hype bakery. Located on a quiet street in Park Slope, it is very low-profile compared to other viral bakeries in Brooklyn, but their bread and pastries are definitely top notch.   The space gives cozy vibes with some comfy seatings and long display shelves. They sell mostly French artisan bread and pastries, but some with an Asian influence.   *Black Sesame & Sweet Osmanthus Roll $6.25 Inspired by black sesame tangyuan, the owner blends flavors she'd grown up with into European baking. It was nutty, slightly savory from the black sesame and floral from the osmanthus syrup. I really liked the flakiness and subtle sweetness. They only do one batch every day. It was sold out when I arrived at 10:30 on a Sunday, so I tried my luck again on a Friday morning. So worth it! *Cardamom & Cinnamon Bun $6.25 The bun was still warm when I got it, spiced with cardamom and cinnamon. It was shaped into elegant knot of laminated dough. The laminated layers made it special, with a glazed top sprinkled with Swedish pearl sugar, and a soft, fluffy center. From this day onward, a regular cardamom/cinnamon bun could never satisfy me anymore.

We shared the black sesame kouign amann, the classic croissant, and the aged cheddar roll. The…read morekouign amann was thick and had almost a doughnut like texture. Pretty rich too. I'm still seeking at pastry more similar to what is served at Kouing Amann Bakery in Montreal. Croissant was my favorite. Light and flakey. Would be a go to spot for me if I lived nearby. At this point NYC has to have surpassed Paris as the best croissant city in the world. The cheddar roll was an interesting savory pastry. Robust and tangy bites of cheddar mixed in with some peppery bites as well as some thick doughy bites. It was like three in one with the variety. This pocket of Park Slope has become one of the best destinations for bakeries in NY!
