Also funny, I asked about gluten free muffins and she jokes about being an allergic to gluten free stuff ha! The cookie cakes ($10) are amazing! We picked one up to bring to my partners aunt and uncle! We also got a dozen donuts ($21)! My favorites were the apple fritter, cinnamon roll and the chocolate pączki! Can't wait to try their cannoli flavor next!! There is some seating available but it's limited! I regret not taking any pics!!

Great bakery with no bad options. Not in the best neighborhood. One of the very best in area.read more

They made the cookies, macaroons, both cakes that were served and mini pumpkin pies that were given as gifts for the guests. They also opened to enable us to buy goodies and I fell in love with the brown butter bourbon cookies!! They were 3 for $5 and I would have bought the 3 bags that were in the case, but a woman in front of me bought 2 bags so I was left with one. They have mini pies for $5 and while it was hard to decide (assorted cheesecakes, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, etc.); I bought a mini peach cobbler for hubby. They are the perfect serving size and he loved it! Both of the cakes they had at the shower (a chocolate and a yellow rainbow) were moist and delicious; the only downside is that we live so far away! But if we're ever in this area we will remember Park's Pastries for sure.

Pricing is on a digital screen above the front counter but you can't see it when coming in the side door. This is what I remember.. Cookies 3 for $5 Cupcakes $3 Mini loaf cakes $5 Mini cheesecake and cobblers $7 Macaroons 3 for $7 Coffee $1 Customer service wasn't the best so I took away a star. We weren't greeted when we entered and had to speak first. She didn't really say anything, give any suggestions or interact at all. For first time customers that kind of hindered the experience but thank goodness the treats did not disappoint.

There's something truly special about a bakery that has stood the test of time--and this one has been doing it right since the 1960s. With so many trendy, modern bakeries popping up everywhere, it's honestly refreshing to step back in time and experience what real, classic baked goods are supposed to taste like. Everything here is made with care--the cookies and pastries practically melt in your mouth. You can tell these recipes have been perfected over decades. The women working there are incredibly friendly and personable, which just adds to the charm. And if you're going for cookies, make sure you ask for the "Cookie Lady"--she really knows her stuff! Oh, and don't forget to check out the Employee of the Month... he's absolutely adorable If you're craving authentic, old-school bakery goodness, this place is a must-visit. read more

A gem in little Italy. Worth the trip. It can be expensive. Make sure to eat it fresh the first day or it would be a waste.

The lady at the counter was really helpful with describing the different cupcakes and what was in them. I tried the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake, which was absolutely amazing. There was chocolate chips inside the yellow cake and had a really delicious buttercream on top. There was also actual cookie dough on the top and inside the buttercream. We really enjoyed it! 9/10 rating for me. The second cupcake we tried my fiancé really loved the most which was cherry cheesecake. There was cherries inside the cake, and that was also delicious. 8.5/10 Both cupcakes came out to be a little over eight dollars total, but they run different specials every day and they also sell many other bakery items that looked amazing.

I gave them an example of a cake design that they replicated well. Blanca indicated that she wouldn't be able to do the complicated lace design on buttercream, but I appreciated that they took my example and ran with it. At our cake testing, I was a little disappointed in the number of selections, but ultimately we probably would have picked the same thing. The cake was tasty at our wedding.

Today my fiancé and I tried the confetti cupcake, and we honestly really did not like it at all. The buttercream tasted like super strong shortening or strictly butter taste. Nothing like any other buttercreams I've tried at other bakeries. It was not good. We also tried the strawberries and cream cupcake, and that was better than the confetti cupcake, but tasted unfortunately very artificial tasting, and neither of us were a fan of that either. The bakery has really nice cakes, everyone is friendly, but we just did not like the cupcakes, unfortunately. Cupcakes are around $3 each.
