I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

I got reminded…read moreabout this bakery recently so dropped by one day, got a pecan pastry and inquired about cakes. They have no website/price list but the gentleman there gave me his card and said he can give info upon inquiry (though seeing a list of cake flavors, fillings, prices would be easier for me when ordering). He did say 7" cakes are $21. By the following week, I needed a cake and ordered by phone a Strawberry shortcake - 8" $38, good for up to 14 people...great price. The next size at 10" is $70+. The icing was not too sweet, and the cake/decor reminded me of 90s cakes, which we didn't mind. We liked that the cake was soaked in the strawberry flavor plus the fresh strawberries in the filling (we compared to a couple of other bakery's SS cake - where the strawberry can be tasted in the filling but not really in the cake by itself. The other cakes were more fine in texture though).

The bright yellow of the mango and the purple of the ube are unique, as well as the exotic flavors. The cake itself is light and sweet without being cloyingly sweet and the cream is not as heavy as American or Italian style bakeries. We also ordered their Filipino style empanadas with different meat fillings, 2 each of chicken, pork & beef. If you buy 6, you get a bonus empanada, but they threw in 2 extra ones this time! Each meat flavor comes in a slightly different shape to tell them apart. They are baked and not fried like some other meat pies, so the crust is more pie-dough-like instead of crispy or flaky layered. The chicken empanada is just like a handheld pot pie and tastes exactly like one, too!

I grew up with this place in Astoria and to this day, it still holds a special place in my heart (and my taste buds!). The moment you step off the N or W train at Broadway, the mouthwatering aroma of fresh bread hits you--and trust me, it's impossible not to be lured in. Even if you're just driving by, that smell will have you parking the car just to grab a piece. It's that good. This bakery is an absolute staple and continues to thrive while so many others have faded. It makes me genuinely happy to see Parisi still going strong, serving up some of the best, most authentic, fresh-baked bread in all of NYC. I've loved this place my whole life and continue to do so. Parisi isn't just a bakery--it's a part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Long live that unforgettable smell, the warmth, and the love that goes into every loaf and love shown by the family of staff to each and every person who walks in.
