Horrible , I would never recommend anyone here, you would think its a great bakery because of previous reviews and the long history this bakery been around, I purchased Halloween cookies for my sons kindergarten class remind you these are 4-5 year old kids, the cookies look nice the kids was excited to see the cookies and eat them to find out that the cookies had MAGGOTS all over them not was i just embarrassed, hurt , ashamed i cant describe the feeling i had when this happened, immediately, the cookies had to be taken away and returned to this bakery that would sell something like this to a value customer and all they had to say is that it comes in the boxes sometimes , I cant believe this, so if you continue to buy from this bakery please check your items, please I would ever want this to happen to anyone. read more

I'm such a donut lover... and I was told this place might have what I wanted...a fresh baked old school Boston Cream donut with pudding/custard inside. I got exactly that, and took some fruit pastries home with me and I'm still dreaming about their deliciousness. They have a really huge selection of pastries and cookies and donuts. I'll be back for sure!!! read more

I have been coming here every now and then for their specialty cakes, red velvet, tiramisu and chocolate mouse. They all taste really good and well liked by my friends and families. The staff are friendly and very accommodating for your needs. You can pre-order cakes and pick up the next day just to make sure you'll get what you want because some are not available all the time. It's a little pricey as compared to the commercial cakes from Stop & Shop, Waldbaum or BJ's but it tastes better like fresh off your grandma's oven. I mean, it tastes like made from home. read more

Strawberry cheesecake.......love it, get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Soooooooo good! light yet rich and refreshing!

It is so beautiful in there. Apple Pies are so good. Love the place

I work at a restaurant and riesterers always makes the cakes for us! For so long I see them making deliveries to us and even calling to confirm orders so I figured I should give them a try and boy was I happy I did! I bought so much for the first time from a cake to small cookies because It really gives you a taste of home made items! I go in all the time now after work since its on the way home because I'm hooked! Its really difficult now a days to find a decent bakery that excels in all areas of desserts! Definitely go in- you won't regret it! read more

Been coming here for decades. They have great stuff for my kids (will upload a pic next time), and kosher options too. It's a family favorite, definitely give them a try. read more

Great bakery Over the years everything has gotten so small I understand rising cost but I would rather pay more for a donut than get a tiny one Either way everything here taste great read more

We are hosting a birthday party for my Sister-in-law tonight and Riesterer's has come through for us! My sister in law's favorite car was a light blue Volkswagen beetle. I found a cookie cutter and asked if they could make favors for our party. I called many bakers and either they couldn't do what I needed or the cost was astronomical. Riesterer's price was reasonable and they did a fantastic job. The cookies look great! We also purchased a seven layer cake for the party. All my guests raved about the cake. It was delicious and not too sweet. read more

Riesterer's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

Extremely happy!!!They made my boyfriend a very amazing 40th Birthday Cake. We happened to drop it walking into the venue. Immediately drove it back to the Bakery & they fixed it. They did such a good job you would have never known. Will defiantly be returning read more

I went in person to this bakery and selected a beautiful cake from their book of designs. I order the exact one my daughter wanted for her birthday. The cake we picked up a few days later looked nothing like what I ordered. My daughter was extremely upset. The bows on top tasted like they were made of cardboard. All of the kids spit them out. It was pretty embarrassing. I will definitely be looking elsewhere the next time I need to order a cake. read more

Riesterer's Bakery is extraordinary. I will begin by saying that I do not write reviews or give feedback on anything- but I will make a one time exception. I have been a loyal customer for nearly 15 years. The establishment is clean, every employee is polite and helpful, the product is outstanding. Riesterer's selection of cakes, cookies, pastries and breads is phenomenal. Everything is hand crafted and freshly made with care.There is always a wide selection of irresistible treats available when you walk in- and none of them will disappoint. Just beyond delicious. Choose any cake they have and take that first bite. Pause for a second to savor how delectable it is.. flavorful with a delicate crumb, the decadent filling... it's an experience. Not only has Riesterer's made multiple birthday and special occasion cakes for my family, they made the single most important cake of my life- my wedding cake. It was absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. They went above and beyond what my expectations were. Several guests went back for second pieces because it was that good. My husband and I have a little tradition. Every year for our anniversary we order a small cake that's decorated like our wedding cake, and every year it has been perfect. Needless to say, I will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come. read more

My one stop for any cakes or cookies or celebratory goodies!!! Great staff and very helpful I love their cookies assortments

great place, just be sure you get it FRESH! some stuff gets stale and it's sold anyway....

We have been going to this bakery for as long as I had lived in the area. It's always been a bit pricey but that was overlooked that is until recently. We moved away to NC and a friend asked us to bring her back some Kaiser rolls so I called and ordered them speaking to a very affable person on the phone but when we walked in to pick them up the woman working there glanced up saw us and continued doing what she was doing with never a word of being with us in just a minute or anything, noteworthy also is the fact that the place was totally empty of customers. After about a minute or two of me hovering and looking at her, a gentleman walked in she immediately walked over to him and her exact words were "Can I help you sir" he looked over at me and told her to take care of them first they were here before me. We were speechless at this point never expressing indignation nor resentment, the woman grudgingly came over and attended to us with an attitude. Needless to say was the last time for me. Sad to say this was blatant prejudice and you can guess that we are people of color and the gentleman was not. read more

Ewww I never understood why people like this place. I lived in West Hempstead most of my life, only two blocks away from here and I wouldn't ever go in there to get something. My family would go out of their way to a different bakery. read more

My family has been going to this bakery for years. It USED TO BE EXCELLENT! The decorating skills when you order a cake is rushed and sloppy! When I asked what happened to the skills of the decorators, they got pissed. It's rushed and unprofessional. The Owner comes out and says " I'm the boss and I do the decorating take it or leave it" Oh really??? Is that right?? After being a customer for 25 years it's glad to know that you are ruining the legacy that your grandmother built! Do your Job correctly and you won't have complaints! After spending $50 on a cake it should be perfect NOT THROWN TOGETHER LOOKING LIKE YOU WERE BLIND FOLDED WHILE DECORATING IT!! Correct me if I'm wrong the look of presentation is what's in to eating the food besides the smell and so forth! What a RUDE,NASTY UNPROFESSIONAL BRAT WHO IS ABOUT 50 that acts like a 5 year old ! I'll spend my money else where and I will let everyone know they are not the same as before. NO WONDER ALL OTHER LOCATIONS CLOSED ITS NOT WORTH THE TRIP OR HASSLE!!! read more

My Nephew ordered a cake for his daughter first birthday he paid over five hundred dollars for the cake and the bakery did not deliver the cake he had to pick it up well the cake was ruined it was a sham we didn't have a cake to take pictures with his daughter on her first birthday. I just think that if you are selling cakes that are as costly as they are you should deliver and set them up . read more

Bought four brownies in this place. Got home and found the girl put them in a box that didn't fit. She put the two brownies with soft icing on top over the other two like a couple of dominoes. Besides that, the box wasn't high enough so the icing soaked through the top of the box. read more

Had some delicious cookies and cake there- A really excellent kosher bakery!

Heard about this bakery from a celebrity who lives on the West Coast. I drove quite a distance to pick up a special cake for a very special someone. The cake was devine, the service was friendly and just all-around wonderful. The design on the cake was a work of art as I had requested pink buttercream flowers. Just wonderful...Many thanks! read more
