My friend ordered a cake for delivery from here TWICE cause it was so good. We tried the Ferrero Rocher cake and it was delicious. If you're a chocolate lover or a chocolate-hazelnut lover, this cake is perfect for you. It's rich in chocolate flavor but the cake itself isn't dense at all. It was soft and fluffy, a bit more crumbly than I'd like, and the frosting is delicious. It has grounded up hazelnuts in the chocolate frosting so the flavor really stands out. It doesn't feel heavy either since it's not a super decadent chocolate cake. I'd love to try their other cakes too!

This is definitely not a place to sit and eat but rather take to go. They have a good selection of cupcakes and limited cake selection but the pricing is fair for the cupcakes which are $3.25 each. If you pay by cash then you get 4% of your entire purchase. The guy who helped me was nice and friendly the service was good overall. Picked up 6 cupcakes for my friend's birthday which was about $22 with tax (credit) I didn't have cash to get the 4% off lol. Parking is abundant and it's free as they got their own parking a lot which is shared with other stores as well. I'm not fond of cupcakes at all but my best friend is and according to her " The Ferrero Rocher just kill me now because that was sooo freakin' good I practically swallowed it whole despite wanting to savor it slowly. I've never loved red velvet flavor I just like it fine but wow this red velvet was the best I've EVER HAD". Well I'm glad my best-friend is very happy and in love with these cupcakes!!

Awesome goodies

Layers Bakeshop is a fantastic bakery tucked away in Elmont (much smaller location) and a Westbury location as well (much more spacious with seats). I got the lotus biscoff cake for my Mom's birthday and it was affordable and absolutely delicious. I loved the cheesecake/cake/lotus biscoff cookie proportions if that makes any sense haha. The employee working there was also super helpful and patient. I'll 110% be back for more special events that call for cakes and just in general (heard their sundaes are awesome)!

Can you see how dry and stale this mini cake is? So disappointing!

I'm super disappointed in Layers Bakeshop. I ordered a piece of Blondie cake as well as a carrot cupcake, and unfortunately, neither was fresh. They both tasted super stale! I'm wondering if they thought they could get away with selling stale pastries to people who order online?

There's not a lot of cupcake places that have frosting that blow me away. I usually find cupcakes with frosting that's too hard with heavy buttercream, which is there more for the decoration or visual appeal OR frosting that is too sweet where you taste and feel the actual sugar components crunching between your teeth. When I do find cupcake frosting that is decent...the cake itself is usually dry or bland. Layers cupcakes have BOTH! Their cake texture is moist and possesses the flavor of its cupcake name and their frosting is light, airy and delicious!!! I love their cupcakes in its entirety! The employees there are always really nice as well which is a huge plus and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend and have already been back a few times.

Double chocolate chip cookie recipe is a 9/10
Mr V.

Cookies taste homemade nicely bake Ice cream is good quality and taste good Wish they had more flavors Cake texture is 8/10 and the frosting on the cake is 8/10 I need to try all cake flavors then I'll update my review on the cake recipe but for Now 8/10 is what I'll give this bakeshop. Nice customer service All residents in Elmont and queens should go support this bakeshop Layers bakeshop is actually authentic and gives that homemade delicious taste Would recommend to anyone

Brownie
Evan C.

I had a sweet tooth and "Layers Bakeshop" was on my radar. I've noticed the place before, however, today was the day I was trying it! Parking lot isn't big, but for a small bakery, it was okay. The outside, didn't scream bakery to me. The dark colors almost made it invisible. If it wasn't for the sign, I don't think I would have noticed it driving by. Inside was much of the same. No energy, it didn't feel like a bakery. At the counter I was helped by a great guy. I asked what brownie he recommended and I went with his choice. He asked if I wanted a spoon because this thing was more like a cake. Again, I took him up on his offer and left with a spoon. Now let me say, if he baked these brownies out of a truck, I would buy it! It was fluffy and delicious. He definitely nailed the cake texture. I really enjoyed it. Next time however, I have to try to get this brownie home. Imagine heating it up and putting ice cream on top? As a matter of fact, I need to wrap this up.....I have a date with fudge and vanilla.

Rafaello Cake
Aleena A.

Ordered through doordash and it was a delightful Rafaello cake! I love the variety of flavors and the taste was amazing - very decadent and lush and the cake lasted, and loveeeed the cream cheese frosting. I had a slice of hummingbird cake from Magnolias recently and it paled in comparison.

My delicious cupcakes/ Name of bakery
Zuleika P.

Absolutely wonderful!! Light, airy & delicious. Very small location but the service was very nice. Everything looked so good ( reason I brought 4 different items for myself ) I wish my sister was closer for this sweet treat. I will definitely be back for more cupcakes & brownies.

Shurovi P.

100% would recommend this place. I buy it for every single dinner i go to when its at a friends or familys house. My go to cake is hands down the malteasers chocolate cake. Their Biscoff cupcakes are also absolutely delightful. I called on NYE to get the cake and the owner was sweet enough to go pick it up on very short notice from their other location as it was not available at the Elmont location. Their customer service is truly outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Lotus
Shawnie J.

I was craving something sweet checked out a few reviews and decided to give this place a try. I'm not impressed it was mehhh, very clean location and cute interior decor. The cashier was calm just doing his job so no complaints about service. My family enjoyed their cupcakes maybe I should have gotten that instead of the layer cups. Not sure if there will be a next time unless it's to try a cupcake.

Packaging from store

I attended a friends party on Saturday & called Bill on Friday to get a cake for the venue after the original order fell through. Bill was accommodating, motivated & had the cake I ordered delivered to the venue for a nominal fee. Everyone loved the red velvet cake & the design & that is why I'm updating my review to 5 stars. The Layers Bakeshop staff was helpful, the cake was great & they went above & beyond to assist me the customer! Many continued blessings & well wishes to this bake shop

Front counter

This is the 2nd location that recently opened up. It's not as busy as the Westbury location. The space is also smaller and I feel like the side refrigerators are out of place. The KitKat bars on the KitKat cake also looked old and broken where you can see the wafers through the chocolate. The staff was really nice. First time we tried the Kashmiri Chai which came from a machine behind the counter. I don't recommend it but would try some other option one more time. I thought they would make it fresh or something from the back. We enjoyed the Lotus Tres Leches. The Lotus Biscoff and Ferrero Cupcakes were on point and had the same consistency as the Westbury location.

Now I've known about them for a while but this was my first actually ordering from them. I called on a Saturday at about 3pm and Jermaine answered the call, both literally and figuratively. I nervously mentioned I needed a cake for the evening.. by 6pm, as I needed to be in Williamsburg by 7:15pm. He responded not to worry as they had a beautiful 10'' double chocolate, oreo cookie, multi-layered cake that would fit the occasion perfectly... my heroes! The gf and her friends absolutely loved the cake and were wow'd by how pretty, big and delicious it was. We had 7 people at the table and even after some folks took big pieces to go, we had nearly half the cake to take home!

Very pleased with Sydney's Sweets. I had a vision, and they nailed it. They were professional and…read moreresponsive, communication was great, and they understood the assignment. The cake was at the venue before I arrived, so I didn't have to worry about delivery, which was particularly helpful since the party was in Manhattan. The cake was a huge part of our 50th birthday celebration, and I'm so glad we used them. Not only was the cake flawless, but it also tasted good - it was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I would definitely use this company again, you won't be disappointed.

On 10/06 I have been driving by Sapienza since 2023 when I…read morestarted visiting Long Island. Being inspired by Amy G. I finally decided to make my way over. Entering Sapienza Pastry, I was flabbergasted at what I saw. I will get back to that, but first I must tell you how I was treated. Walking inside dressed casual, I see Sapienza decorated with pastry items and bakery items while immediately receiving a hearty welcome along with exemplary customer service engagement with a smile at Sapienza pasty. I mean, after all, greeting someone when they walk in, is good ethics for a business. I was waited on by one of the staff members and the engagement that I was given was- "beyond customer service interaction" and for that I am grateful. Sapienza pastry is your full service pastry go- to, there is no if's, and's, nor but's about that. Sadly it took me three years to find out. So there will be no more going to Floral Park. Sapienza pastry has everything, I am talking cookies, cakes, personalized occasional cakes, cheese cakes, cannoli's. They even have, (drum roll- this is where I was flabbergasted) NAPOLEON'S in variety!!!! Drop the spatulas and walk off!!! WHAT??? I was like a kid in Sapienza's pastry shop. I asked what the pastry was next to the Napoleon pastry. I was told that it was an old fashioned Napoleon. OMG are you kidding me!! I have seen one before but did not know it was old fashioned, I just thought people didn't know how to make the Napoleon pastry because I've only seen it with the icing on top. The Classic French Style-Mille-Fuelle- Napoleon pastry* is known as milli-feuille- stacked layers of flaky, crispy puff pastry filled with rich pastry cream or custard. It's an elegant dessert that is celebrated for its contrasting texture. HA- ELEGANT DESERT! It is topped with two layers of rich vanilla pastry cream/ creme patissière. This has always been a D'licious treat but very sweet yet enjoyable to taste. The Old fashioned Russian Style (Napoleon Cake)* assembled like a cake and constituted of 8 to 16 layers of thin pastry layers.This exterior is greatly different from the classic as you will see when as captured this image, it is completely coated in pastry cream and covered in a blanket of fine tasted pastry crumbs. NOW this is a pastry to die for. This is my new found love and I am so happy to have finally tasted this difference. I will now forever continue to delight myself in the old fashioned style asI did find it really d'licious and not too sweet. This is one of the real reasons that I love to Yelp, because I can discover delicious pastry shops and I can... Inspire more, Yelp more!

I've loved the cannolis and rainbow cookies from here since I used to hang out in Elmont 20 years…read moreago and would stop here often. Recently I've gotten back into going here and I'm so glad I did. The staff is always very friendly. It's a small bakery but with a very good selection. I've gotten a few too good to go boxes from here within the last couple of months and they are extremely generous with the portions they give for those boxes. The first time they gave me a large box full of pastries, a box with four large cupcakes and two loaves of semolina. Went again last night and recieved a box with 8 large cannolis and a large apple crumb pie. The parking lot is very small and in front of the store, so if they're busy you may not be able to find a spot as there are definitely less than 10 parking spots.
