    two sandwiches on tin foil
    Stephanie A.

    Loved our "E" shaped 4 foot bread we ordered for our sons birthday. We would definitely order from her again the bread was delicious and did not get hard.

    Kaiser rolls   Plain

    Great old school Italian and French bread hot out of the oven. Unfortunately, I had to knock a couple of stars off due to the new ownership. They now have "Janet," who is rude, arrogant, and racist and is singlehandedly ruined what once was a pleasant experience. If she hates dealing with customers,just hire a teenager to work 4-7 .Apparently, Janet doesn't like to play on her phone/ computer and take care of paying customers ,so guess which one lost out? Several of my friends and neighbors have stopped going because of the hassle,and probably her idea to now limit the hours so she doesn't have to deal with customers. No longer 24-7 but closing at 5pm! No more stopping in after work to grab a fresh hot loaf to have with dinner! What a shame. The rest of the staff is actually very accommodating.

    To have a great business, you don't necessarily need to have a fancy store front. This place proves that. Known to my family as just "Ray's," this place has the freshest bread around. It is located off Merrick Road and can be hard to find because of its factory-like setting (if your not from the area.) The place alone is nothing to rave about. When you walk in, there are two desks where I guess the receptionist/bookkeeper sits. She also takes the money from customers. There is a pretty large bread "closet" to the left of the door. Each shelf is stocked with brand-spanken new loaves of Italian bread (with or without seeds), assorted rolls, and the newest addition, whole wheat Italian bread. I am sure they have more, but I just stick with the Italian bread. The coolest part is you pick your own. They provide the gloves and wax paper. Writing this review, I can almost taste the hot, flaky bread I have grown to know and love. I always get two loaves because I devour at least half of a loaf just driving home! You can't beat the price (two loaves are less than $5.) I never let a good sandwich go without Ray's Bakery bread!

    The best kept secret on Long Island. Great fresh baked bread and rolls 24/7. It's worth the trip.

    Best of luck in South Carolina. Assume our bread will still be here under new owners? Is that why new bread is being offered (like the brick oven loaf)?

    On 10/06 I have been driving by Sapienza since 2023 when I…read morestarted visiting Long Island. Being inspired by Amy G. I finally decided to make my way over. Entering Sapienza Pastry, I was flabbergasted at what I saw. I will get back to that, but first I must tell you how I was treated. Walking inside dressed casual, I see Sapienza decorated with pastry items and bakery items while immediately receiving a hearty welcome along with exemplary customer service engagement with a smile at Sapienza pasty. I mean, after all, greeting someone when they walk in, is good ethics for a business. I was waited on by one of the staff members and the engagement that I was given was- "beyond customer service interaction" and for that I am grateful. Sapienza pastry is your full service pastry go- to, there is no if's, and's, nor but's about that. Sadly it took me three years to find out. So there will be no more going to Floral Park. Sapienza pastry has everything, I am talking cookies, cakes, personalized occasional cakes, cheese cakes, cannoli's. They even have, (drum roll- this is where I was flabbergasted) NAPOLEON'S in variety!!!! Drop the spatulas and walk off!!! WHAT??? I was like a kid in Sapienza's pastry shop. I asked what the pastry was next to the Napoleon pastry. I was told that it was an old fashioned Napoleon. OMG are you kidding me!! I have seen one before but did not know it was old fashioned, I just thought people didn't know how to make the Napoleon pastry because I've only seen it with the icing on top. The Classic French Style-Mille-Fuelle- Napoleon pastry* is known as milli-feuille- stacked layers of flaky, crispy puff pastry filled with rich pastry cream or custard. It's an elegant dessert that is celebrated for its contrasting texture. HA- ELEGANT DESERT! It is topped with two layers of rich vanilla pastry cream/ creme patissière. This has always been a D'licious treat but very sweet yet enjoyable to taste. The Old fashioned Russian Style (Napoleon Cake)* assembled like a cake and constituted of 8 to 16 layers of thin pastry layers.This exterior is greatly different from the classic as you will see when as captured this image, it is completely coated in pastry cream and covered in a blanket of fine tasted pastry crumbs. NOW this is a pastry to die for. This is my new found love and I am so happy to have finally tasted this difference. I will now forever continue to delight myself in the old fashioned style asI did find it really d'licious and not too sweet. This is one of the real reasons that I love to Yelp, because I can discover delicious pastry shops and I can... Inspire more, Yelp more!

    I've loved the cannolis and rainbow cookies from here since I used to hang out in Elmont 20 years…read moreago and would stop here often. Recently I've gotten back into going here and I'm so glad I did. The staff is always very friendly. It's a small bakery but with a very good selection. I've gotten a few too good to go boxes from here within the last couple of months and they are extremely generous with the portions they give for those boxes. The first time they gave me a large box full of pastries, a box with four large cupcakes and two loaves of semolina. Went again last night and recieved a box with 8 large cannolis and a large apple crumb pie. The parking lot is very small and in front of the store, so if they're busy you may not be able to find a spot as there are definitely less than 10 parking spots.
