They cost a pretty penny, but I'm able to present my lovely wife, who has a gluten allergy, with a cake for her birthday every year now. This bakery caters to pretty much every dietary restriction actually. We're just lucky to have such an accommodating place so close to our home. Service is great, staff is friendly. They let you put down a deposit and show you the completed cake before you walk out with it. We've already bought 3. Was pleased with every one. If you're a baked good lover with a food allergy or dietary requirement, definitely check this place out.

Very knowledgeable. I wanted a small vegetarian cake. They did not have a small cake. All the caked were like $40 and up that would've been too much for my occasion . in any case she said I can do something for you. She took three slices of the cake. Put them together and write happy birthday for me. What a wonderful job she did nicely decorated she put it on a gold platter and in a decent box. I had to take two buses to get there but it was well worth it . my sincere gratitude to this staff for her extraordinary service. Keep up your pretty smile and stay healthy. God bless,

Stopped in for dessert with my daughter…read more I got the Pistachio mi feuille and my daughter got the Raspberry mi feuille. I have to say. Mine was better haha, but both were delicious. The layers were flaky. The cream, exceptional. Such a wonderful Pistachio flavor. Sweet enough to curb any sweet tooth. Service was easy. We ordered at the pastry display and they brought our desserts to the counter where we also ordered a Lavender lemonade. It was so good. Starbucks Lavender has nothing on theirs. The ambiance was nice. Some camped on their laptops. Others running in for a quick bite. Beautiful dining area. Very comfortable, as well. The booth couches are a nice touch. We will most definitely be back!

I had stopped here on Mother's Day to pick up some pastries. I was surprised to see a long line out…read morethe door. The ambiance of the venue was nice and the service was okay. I ordered the strawberry tart, lemon tart and pistachio Mille fille. I really appreciated the packaging and the takeout bag, which made it seem very high end. The pastries were all pretty good and were HUGE. The tarts are very similar and the pistachio Mille fille has a subtle taste. It was reasonably priced. My only complaint is the checkout process. It was slightly disorganized but I think it was mostly due to the amount of customers they had that day.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for pastries and matcha. Inside has seating and the place was clean…read more Service was good although I had to wait a bit but not long to complain about. Pastries were so good and fresh. Had a few different types such as almond croissants and mini cinnamon croissants with caramel sauce. I also had iced matcha latte with almond milk which was good. The matcha is on the sweeter side so I didn't need any added syrups. I'd come back to to this location for sure.

First off I don't want to diminish the popularity of Martha's Country Bakery and their growing…read morefollowers. I was there again today. My experience is STILL relatively the same. The tables are close enough and small enough to hear what your neighbors are saying to each other, imagine what they think of you? LOL I noticed speaker music was playing a bit louder then the last time I was there. The fact that patrons have to shout over each other while sharing speaker music doesn't help with the ambience of enjoying a delicious cake over an interesting conversation. I ordered something new this time, a delicious lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Why didn't I see that description on my check? Strange. I also visited their website online, and noticed a lot of Stock Ai made photos and videos. I even found the website hard to navigate as well because it wasn't loaded with actual cakes and up to date pricing. So quite honestly the online website wasn't helpful with what they had in the shop. * Perhaps a future improvement between tables might be an above head moveable divider which actually could provide some privacy. Something I guarantee would be way more inviting than the current seating arrangement. The Review Guru Long Island NY

There are Martha's Country Bakery stores all over NYC, but not all Martha's are created equal…read more This one in Bayside serves one of my favorite winter drinks, the White Hot Chocolate and it is not available at all Martha's locations. It is super sweet and even sweeter with whipped cream. It is unlike any hot chocolate I've ever had. Get it. For dessert, I like the Pineapple Shortcake, which is available at the Forest Hills Martha's, but not in Bayside. I thought I saw it once, but it turned out to be a Lemon Meringue cake. Instead, I'll go for a slice of Apple Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, Blue or Red Velvet cakes or the Oreo Mousse. If you would like to enjoy your cake and coffee in house, there is table service. There are plenty of 2 topper café tables, but if you have a bigger party, they will park a bunch of them together for you, if it's not too busy. If you get here before 8pm, tables are readily available, but it can get crowded as the evening progresses. We were surprised recently, when they sat 6 of us with no wait. They are open before the crack of dawn at 6am until 1am on Friday & Saturday nights. I imagine that the ovens never cool off and the bakers are there on the overnight shift to bake plenty of cakes ready for the next day. It's not unusual to still have a line to order out at 10-11pm and the display cases are still packed with cakes & pies.

I had a custom cake made here in 2016 in the shape of a guitar. I think the owner at the time was…read morethe one who created that cake for me. The design, detail and precision were so incredible. This is what made me come back and order again this year. Unfortunately my expectations were not met this time around. The cake was nothing of what I expected when I went through the design when I first placed the order. The digital art that was placed on the cake and the fondant job were not neatly done. I'm afraid of what the cake would have looked like had I not supplied them with some decorations. Needless to say I was disappointed and will not be using them again for any custom cake jobs. I definitely did not get my money's worth.

The term "Paris Syndrome" describes a psychological state of severe shock experienced by tourists…read more(in particular, first time visitors to Paris) who suffer immense disappointment from unmet expectations. Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

Ordered the bowl because the person assisting me couldn't tell me much about the consistency of the eclair. The tres leches bowl has fresh strawberries and blueberries on top. Peach could be canned, but I don't mind either way. A solid tres leches overall, but not remarkable. It's just pretty, with fresh fruit.

Elite reviewers pride ourselves on honesty; the good the bad the ugly and the awesome. Well while the cookies which were really minis at a 1 dollar each are delicious, a jelly croissant donust was stale. We did go back and get a sorry along with a comperable substitute. Upon going home our cinnamon rolls were stale as well and the 7 layer cake while looking great as does eveything here was highly dissapointing. It was a Monday and perhaps they were selling stuff that did not move over the weekend, then make less or sell at half price, but do not defend this as a one off mistake.

For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!
