There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

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!

I got the flan cheesecake instead and it was good though! I was skeptical but the two does work well together. I also got the berry napoleon and while the whipped cream is light, I prefer a custard and the layers to be crispier. I did get their butter cookies for the first time, and they were good. Parisi bakery still have the best ones in my opinion. I got the Italian cheesecake which I always do, and I think I like this refrigerated more. There doesn't seem to be a difference between cash and credit anymore.

I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

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!

The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

They have all usual items - bubble tea, sponge cakes, steamed buns, egg tarts, premade sandwiches, and more. I've had a few items from here and they were all fresh at reasonable prices.

You can get congee, rice noodle rolls, and even a bunch of dim sum items (dumplings, beef balls, siu mai, etc.). You can easily pickup a lunch or dinner from here.

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!

The guava pastry was also just a tad off, with its puff pastry being a bit dry and not crispy enough. With that said, the Chorizo was pretty good when hot.

I was looking for a small treat, so I ordered a small hot chocolate, a beef empanada, and chorizo with a mini arepa. I also ordered a dozen mini bunelos to enjoy at home! The bakery is consistently busy, and throughout my time there, there was always a line of 5-6 people waiting to place their order. Most people were doing lunch special takeouts. I ordered the beef empanada, which was nice and crispy. I thought the filling itself was too mushy for my liking. It feels like the potato and meat were pureed, which is not the consistency I usually expect. The chorizo and arepa were pretty good and what I expected. The small cup size for the hot chocolate... is pretty tiny... lol And the hot chocolate was made with dark chocolate, which I don't particularly enjoy, so I asked for milk. The cashiers gave me no issues when I asked for more milk, which I appreciated! The mini bunelos were my favorite! They were delicious and yummy and the perfect treat to share with family and friends. While I liked the decor and the ambiance, I do have to give their food another try because I do think it was just ok. I can get better empanadas elsewhere. Their food is decent if you don't mind waiting and would like a cute cafe to sit in. This area of Queens is FILLED with so many Colombian bakeries, so my rating is what it is because the competition is tough in Jackson Heights!
