Half the box of cookies because I finished half as soon as I opened it. The pumpkin cookie is seasonal.
Clarissa B.

I cannot get enough of this bakery's cookies. Even from outside the store, you can smell their divine baked goods. My favorite cookies are the ones with the maraschino cherry in the middle - I could eat an entire pound of them in one sitting if I let myself indulge fully. I usually get a bit over half a pound of cookies and find their cookies to be moist but wonderfully crumbly at the same time. Their cookies with the long sprinkles, the raspberry linzer sandwiched cookies, and the triple colored layer cookies are my favorite. I really don't want to start competition with other local bakeries because they all bring something unique to the Astoria table, but I prefer this one by far to others on Broadway, despite selection being mostly cookie-focused. I have yet to try their bread because I'm so hyperfixated on their cookies. The cashier is always quite nice and bears with me as I try to numerically qualify how much of each cookie I want. It goes something like "six of those on the left with the cherry in the middle - five of the ones with rainbow sprinkles - the long rainbow sprinkles! etc...". I think I'll check if they each have official names next time so I take a little less time, but they've been so accommodating. Anyway, I'm glad this place exists so I can get my cookie groove on as often as possible. Also to note: This place has changed the cherry cookie game for me - I can no longer go elsewhere for them because they're top tier here.

Good bakery in Astoria to grab a bag of baked goods and sweet treats to bring home, along with fresh breads. Well priced and tasty. Their rainbow cookies are really good! Black and whites too. Breads, cookies, pastries you can't go wrong.

Display case.

Always quality, since forever and a day. The bread here is always so good. Stop by and try some you won't be disappointed.

I stumbled onto this place on my way home after a huuugggee meal at Astoria Seafood. I wanted something sweet and a cup of coffee. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I ended up here. It's an unassuming storefront, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's also small without a lot of selection, so I was worried I wouldn't like it. I ordered a slice of their raspberry crumb cake, a few mini eclairs and a cappucino. The raspberry crumb cake is out of this world! At first, I thought it would be dry because the cake portion is so big, but I was wrong. The streusel on top is amazing as well. It adds a nice sweetness and crunch. My husband loved the eclairs and ended up bringing a box of them home. My lesson learned: never judge a book by it's cover. I'm glad I discovered this place and have been back even though it's so out of my way!

There was one person at the counter taking/filling orders (she was very nice and helpful) and one person making drinks (coffee/tea). There was a short line, but it moved fairly quickly. I ordered some chocolate rugelach, cinnamon rugelach, and cheese & cherry rugelach ($2.75/each, except the larger cheese & cherry ones for $3.50/each). I love, love, love their chocolate rugelach. It's flaky, buttery, chocolately, and tender with some crispy edges. The cinnamon ones were good, but the chocolate ones are my favorite here. The cheese & cherry rugelach were delicious and fluffy with the right amount of sweetness and filling. I've previously had some of their other items, and can also recommend the dark chocolate babka (which I was lucky enough to purchase one time while it was still warm), the pistachio cherry croissant, and the spicy cheese stick. I will be back to try their other items.

It had just two slices of meat and two slices of cheese. No wonder thet asked if I wanted it heated. This was my first visit. There were six people working, but there seemed to be very little teamwork or direction. The cashier, who seemed like she might have been new, was by far the highlight of the experience. She was friendly, patient, and the only employee who made me feel welcome. The woman I believe was the manager had a noticeably aggressive attitude toward the front-end staff. After an awkward moment trying to figure out who I was supposed to order from and then asking the price of a soda, I commented that the process was confusing. She simply rolled her eyes, which was disappointing and unprofessional. I also observed employees handling food with bare hands, which wasn't reassuring. I work next door, and now I understand why so many of my coworkers told me not to eat here. I was hoping they'd be wrong, but unfortunately my experience matched what I'd been told. This version is more likely to be taken seriously because it focuses on specific observations rather than insults, while still making it clear why you were disappointed.

We were going in to the MET for a tour and only had time for something quick. Angelina was the perfect stop except I've been spoiled with the other two locations I've tried that are much larger, appealing and has more variety. This was a pretty hole in the wall location (in comparison to the others) and I wasn't super obsessed with the quality of the doing (again, in comparison to what I already know of Angelina). I'm not sure if they bake everything in house but it does feel more like they get smaller batches of things maybe frozen and then stick them in the oven and fill them. It doesn't taste the freshest, the croissant dough isn't as pillowy, crispy on the outside and full of layers and flakes that I'm regularly used to. I'm always happy eating anything with nutella so that was still a win, wish it was more in line with the regular Angelina experience. Also, they don't have the same amount of things and as extensive of a menu, so just know before you go :) No bathrooms either it seems like!

The young woman who helped me was so friendly and informative. I decided to try the fall spiced cookie with Valrhona chocolate. I took one bite and WOW--it was fabulous. I immediately remembered why I don't come in more often: you can't have just one bite! I went back to the counter and said I wanted to grab a coffee to cut the sweetness of the cookie--a great pairing, coffee and cookies. She handed me my coffee and directed me to the station where I could find the Splenda. I thanked her and said, "But I need to pay for this," and she simply told me not to worry--the coffee was on the house. It was such a small, unexpected gesture, but it genuinely touched me. There was something so warm and gracious about the way she did it--no fuss, just a little kindness offered to a customer. Those moments are rare, and sometimes the smallest gesture can completely change your day. This one certainly changed mine. I hope no one gets in trouble over my cup of coffee! The cookie was fabulous, but it was her warmth and kindness that I walked away remembering most. Thank you, Levain Upper East Side, for a really lovely experience.

It's slightly soft in the center but crunchy on the outside, and has sufficient mix in ingredients (chocolate chips, walnuts, etc.) Fav is def the chocolate chips and walnut. I did find the two chip chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookie to be too chocolatey and sweet for my preference. It's a little hit or miss, but when it gets too busy they just grab it from the tray so the cookie is either warm or room temp, versus at a diff location ive gone to they heated it up and/or grabbed it from a fresh tray. Workers are friendly and there's some seats and areas to stand and enjoy your cookie! :)

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

It didn't take long for the order to be ready and it was all packed in an insulated bag. Inside, there are a few tables and countertop seats.

The tarts are golden and have crispy layers. It just melts in your mouth. They are also a good size. The matcha latte boba was also very good. NaiSnow is definitely worth checking out!

I brought a box of them for my lunar new year party last year and people at them up! I was also skeptical of the tiramisu and matcha tiramisu egg tarts cause I was afraid that it'd just be too much going on, and too sweet, but I was wrong about both! It definitely wasn't too sweet and the texture of the cake on top is soft, and the custard underneath blends well as well. It doesn't feel too heavy at all, though of course it's heavier than the egg tart alone. l've tried the drinks and I remain a HeyTea stan, but they have some interesting and healthier drinks that are more fruit-forward which is my thing. I do like that they change it up often though.
