I recently visited The Lab and I have to say 10/10 experience!…read more I tried their homemade strawberry lemonade first. It was definitely on the sweeter side (I even added ice to balance it out), but it was still really good and refreshing. No complaints there at all. Now let's get into the desserts because that's what really matters! I grabbed six cupcakes for $15, which is an excellent price. Here's my honest breakdown: * VIP Bree Funfetti - Really good! * Strawberry Shortcake - It was okay. * Strawberry Crunch - Good! * Cookies & Cream - Also okay. * Blue Velvet - Not really my favorite. * Butter Cookie - 10/10! My absolute favorite. I also tried the Remix Brownie, which has cookies baked inside. I truly enjoyed it. It had a brownie layer on top and more of a cake-like texture at the bottom. It wasn't too dense, super moist, and just overall delicious. I did warm it up in the microwave but I warm up most of my desserts anyway and that made it even better. On top of the food being great, the service was awesome. We had a few laughs, and the vibe was really welcoming. Next time I'm definitely going back to try the banana pudding and the cookie butter pudding. Amazing prices, easy parking, great service, and delicious desserts. I will absolutely be back!

International Women's Day and Soulfood Sunday! What is a…read morebakery Monday-Saturday adds soulfood on Sundays. The menu rotates as I thought I would have catfish nuggets. The order was turkey wing, green beans and candied yams for me. I only wish it was two turkey wings. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. My son had honey BBQ chicken wings with a double order of mac & cheese. He said the Mac & cheese was creamy and the wings good. My daughter, the salmon aficianado had me taste the crab stuffed salmon, Mac & cheese (requested green beans but I got her yellow rice). She expected the salmon to be split open versus a line of crab atop the generous piece of salmon. Two stools to the side and a bench at the front windows to await preparation. Very pink inside. I opted to add four cupcakes (strawberry crunch/red velvet/blue velvet/chocolate-chocolate) and house strawberry lemonade to wash down my meal and it hit the spot.

I just want to start by saying I'm in California and this is for the service experienced as my…read moreparents' report that this cake was awesome. I remember going here growing up until I left NY about 10 years ago. The cakes are beautiful, great selection, not overly sweet, and something for everyone. I find it reasonably priced. It is not like some fancy French patisserie shop, but very good. I am reviewing this based on the customer service. I live in CA and wanted to place an order for my dad's birthday. I received a call from them shortly after placing the order informing me they were out. We were easily able to choose another cake, I explained to the lady on the phone that I was in CA and ordering it for my dad. She asked what colour I wanted the writing. At almost 2:30 Eastern time, she called again asking what time I would pick up because they were closing, and wanted to be sure they would keep it fresh. I truly appreciate it. In my ignorance, I did not even check what time they closed - so the fact that they closed at 3 was surprising and a bit early, but that's on me. So - thank you for the good service an attention in trying to make something special for my dad, though I can't be there with him right now. I can report that my dad, mom, and sister really enjoyed the cake and as we remember. They live in Rockaway Beach, and going through Crossbay Blvd is usually one of their routes home.

Another person walked near where I was standing and asked if they could help me. I asked her the flavor of a particular cake, then selected the cake I wanted. She asked if I wanted happy birthday on it and I told her yes. She asked the cashier if she could ring me up. She asked if I was paying cash or card, I told her cash. I gave her the money, she gave me back my change then walked away from the register and went in the back, she never said thank or anything else. The young lady that was helping me put my cake in a bag and thanked me for coming in. I asked her name because she was very polite and displayed great customer service. Her name was Angelica.

(P.s. reheat in a toaster oven next day if any are left): The semolina loaf and the assorted Italian cookies were very good. Next time I'm out that way I'm dying to try the cannolis, which I read in the reviews were also very good. The ladies were very nice, place was well kept and clean. Old school Italian bakery. Hope they don't change.

The presentation of the cake was absolutely beautiful and exceeded my expectations. Unfortunately,…read morethat's where the positives ended. The cake itself did not taste good at all. I ordered a vanilla cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling, but the filling was extremely minimal--barely there. The cake was also very dry and not moist whatsoever. This cake was for a special occasion honoring my mother, and she actually described it as "disgusting," which was incredibly embarrassing given the event. While the bakery clearly excels at appearance, the taste and quality did not match the presentation. I was very disappointed.

The variety of treats offered is truly impressive. Everything that I have tried is beyond delicious. From fruit tart, polish donuts, poppyseed roll to wafers. The coffee is great as well. What I love is that the items are not overly sweet so you really taste all of the other quality ingredients. Each item is a masterpiece, showcasing the skill and passion of the baker whom also happens to be a nice guy. I now go in weekly to pick up some items as I have become addicted. Do yourself a favor and grab a cup of coffee and any of the baked items. It will make you happy!

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!

Service was quick and efficient nothing to complain about. Will definitely stop again if I'm in the neighborhood.
