During the time we spent in the Bronx, we came to this pastry shop two times. Once for gelato and…read moreonce for cannolis. Compare to other cannoli shops on Arthur Avenue this place had ample indoor seating. One of the times we were here, we even saw a giant group of Bronx firefighters enjoying some dessert. Definitely a good sign that this place is worth it. The mango gelato was really refreshing on a hot summer day in New York and I really appreciated that the cannolis were available in small or larger sizes. After a day of sampling as many cannolis as I possibly could on Arthur Avenue, I was glad to have the option of eating a smaller one. Top-notch spot and I would definitely come back

Right next to Casa della Mozzarella, we stopped in for a cappuccino and a treat and ended up…read moreleaving with a tiramisu and tres leches. I was a bit disappointed that the tiramisu was very light on flavor, especially in the ladyfingers. However, the cappuccino was delicious and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The tres leches was divine... one of the best I've ever had. The servers are all very sweet and talkative! The shop has seating inside and outside, it's a charming little spot.

But this unassuming bakery steps from the last stop of the A train is not just a neighborhood gathering spot, but rather a destination-worthy purveyor of some of the best cakes in the city. For a recent celebration we ordered a red velvet as well as the chocolate ganache cake. While I expected the red velvet to be my preferred option of the two, the chocolate ganache was absolutely stunning, with a decadent texture and richness. We received multiple comments from guests asking where we had sourced the cake, none of whom expected the answer to be Inwood.

I love frozen yogurt to satisfy that "I need something sweet" crave after a great dinner because it's lighter than ice cream but the toppings keep it from falling flat and literally just being frozen Chobani or something. This location was so clean and organized. The woman behind the counter was so funny, and made great conversation while I was super indecisive about what toppings I wanted. Thanks girl! 10/10

It was my first time, and i enjoyed it…read more Im a very simple customer, so i didn't bother asking for "samples". It's common sense, when you read the labels you'll be to figure out how it'll taste. I grabbed myself a cup, and started putting in different flavors. I kept it basic: vanilla, peanut butter, strawberry with a crazy mix of random toppings. The people working there seem nice, but i wish they had a condiment bar that had a supply of napkins and utensils available for the guest.

They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites! He also had the gnocchi and I don't think he took a breath while eating it. Definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

The Mediterranean salad had no tomatoes or cucumbers which is pretty standard in a Mediterranean salad. No bread came on the side. Typical Italian restaurants will always provide a bread on the side. The chicken was ok. The seafood pasta lacked flavor. It's as if the seafood was just boiled without lemon, butter, wine etc. it had no flavor ! I requested utensils and to go items (plates, napkins) and the ordered came with nothing. Big disappointment won't be returning.

The moment you walk in,…read moreyou're surrounded by the smell of fresh espresso and classic Italian pastries that have been delighting customers for generations. I ordered a cappuccino and, for the first time, decided to try the Rum Baba. I'm glad I did. The pastry was incredibly soft, perfectly soaked with just the right amount of rum, and had a light sweetness that wasn't overpowering. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The staff was happy to answer questions and made me feel like a regular, even though it was my first visit. The shop has an old-school Italian bakery feel that's becoming harder to find, making the experience just as enjoyable as the food itself.

I've always walked by Egidio Pastry Shop but now I'm on a mission. I need dessert to carry through out the weekend. Walking inside, it's nostalgic feels from my childhood. Freshly baked Sicilian treats that are proudly on display. I ask: Do you sell Italian bread? I'm told no so I'll gladly take a pound of biscotti. I zero on my favorite, almond biscotti. I ask for a few fruit and nut biscotti as well. Somehow a filler was added, it wasn't even biscotti?? It was a flat, flavorless cookie. I would have enjoyed sesame cookies but I wasn't asked. It was just jammed into the box unbeknownst to me. I don't have these problems in Brooklyn, uncool. There was a cute nonna in front of me ordering Italian pastries. She's directing the counterperson who's preparing her box: I'll have one of those, two of these, while eating a mini cannoli. First time here, I'd like to try the pastries on my next visit. Egidio Pastry Shop, until next time!

I've passed this shop so many times and wondered what exactly it was - is it ice cream? is it…read morecandy? what is it? lol One random day, my partner and I decided to google it and we were excited to learn that it is a candy/bakery shop. As a newcomer to Yonkers, I was especially happy to learn what's in my area. I decided to stop in on a Saturday afternoon to check it out. Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted warmly by a woman whom I assume is the owner. The shop is small but filled with a variety of treats and almost anything you can think of - ice cream, candy bars, lollipops, candy themed gifts, and drinks, as well as baked treats like cupcakes. I specifically wanted to try the cupcakes because they claimed to have a #1 best selling blue velvet cake. I ended up purchasing 2 lollipops and 2 cupcakes (blue velvet and vanilla). The blue velvet cupcake was just OK, in my opinion. The cake was soft with a nice buttercream frosting, but nothing that blew me away or stood out to me as THE best I've ever had. I did not end up eating the vanilla cupcake due to an unrelated illness later that weekend. Nonetheless, it was nice to finally try this establishment out. In terms of service, the woman who helped me was super sweet and kind. She also thanked me and wished me well upon leaving. The store itself appeared clean and organized and I really liked the variety of offerings. Some of my favorite childhood candies were readily available and overall pricing was fair. I'd return in the future for their candy selections but I don't think it would be my go-to for baked goods. Highly recommended otherwise!
