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)?

Layers bakeshop - Gender reveal cake

For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. 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!

I reached out to Layers Bakeshop a week before my event. We communicated mainly via text, they were…read morequick with their responses. They were very efficient and took the time to answers all my questions. The cake tasted amazing and came out better than I expected. I did the raffleo flavor which was divine. I will 100% order with them again. Great people, great customer service and delious results.

I've been stopping in during the holidays for several years. This past Easter I was scolded for not…read moreordering in advance with such a large order. My order was $180 and only two people waiting after my order was already underway. It was the owner too which is disappointing. You'd think they appreciate business and check the attitude. Oh well. Lost a customer.

I used to visit Amato years ago and got custom cakes from them...and they were well made and tasted…read moregood. However, I stopped going because I ordered cakes and they were just done very sloppily and weren't worth the money I was being charged. Last week, I decided I'd give them another chance because I want to support local businesses and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I don't ever want to review a business to harm them but I really think they need to take some feedback and implement that into their business. I ordered a gender reveal cake, something small and simple and specifically told them to make sure the writing on the cake was done neatly as I remember one of the previous cakes I had gotten the writing was not neat. The person taking my order asked me if I'd like whip outside or buttercream and I asked what they recommended because I'd only done buttercream before and they said if you're doing whip inside then it's fine to do whip outside. I said ok. Placed my order and went in to pick it up. As soon as I saw the cake I was horrified. The writing was so sloppy and so was the cake. It was as if I made the cake myself. I asked them to fix the writing on top at least. They said ok the baker will fix it. She brings it outside and said it's whip so I can't do much but buttercream would be better (it was worse than when she had taken it inside) I said ok you can do it in buttercream no problem. Brings it back outside and it's still sloppier than ever. I said this is not neat at all, and she said well it's what I can do it looks just like the picture. I said no it does not ( I will attach the picture for reference) and the baker goes "well what can I do this is how I write?" In that moment I just knew they were not willing to help at all. I had already paid in full for the cake so I took it and left. Come home to see that this is supposed to be a gender reveal cake and you can LITERALLY see the icing inside the cake from outside. It doesn't matter if you pay $40 for a cake or $100+ you should be getting what you requested. This was a simple cake that they completely ruined. When I texted her the picture I emphasized that I'd like the writing to be as neat as possible, and I was reassured it would be. Also, if you as the professional know whip won't work as well, why not call the customer and discuss with them prior to ruining the product you are providing. The excuses did not make sense. I will not be returning. And I hope they can take this feedback and improve their cake decorating process. The cake went to waste and we had to improvise last minute.
