But once we tasted the banana bread, pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cake and tres leches cake, all doubts disappeared. The tres leches was perfectly tasty and moist, not dry at all. Most tres leches you get are sitting in a moat of condensed milk, topped with unimpressive frosting and sandwiching painfully sweet cake. THIS IS NOT THAT. Their ratio is spot-on. When I tell you that this was THE BEST TRES LECHES CAKE I'VE EVER HAD, I'm not exaggerating. Staff was friendly. And the banana bread? Delicious with a crisp, golden crust. The chocolate cake was straight from the Willy Wonka factory. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy and delicious. Buttah Bakery may not look like much from the outside, but the treats definitely do not trick!!!! Can't wait to go back.

The table sitting next to us was not very loud, which was nice. the table next to us sat three people and there is a countertop that sits about another 3 to 4 people. most people came in to just take out. I got myself a chai latte and my friends got cheesecake and a Madeline, which they all enjoyed. all of their pastries and baked goods looked very delicious, hoping to try more next time just a bit tight on cash at the moment. The menu of drinks does not fully encompass everything that they make, for example I ordered a chai latte and that was not a menu item so there is flexibility on what they can make.

On top of the 10/10 ice cream, the staff was super nice letting us have samples/being so patient with quite a long line. All in all, can't wait to be in the area again to visit Ice Cream Window.

Bakeri is Ridgewood's treat palace!…read more I love a little sweet treat! And the people who work here are literally the nicest people ever. It's really the best way to start your day or a little pick me up in the afternoon. This place is closed Monday so don't even think about it. The weekends are kinda nuts too but there's also more specialty items that are here only on the weekends. So still worth the traffic jam. I have tried so many yummy treats from flan to classic Christmas cookie tins. I love the classic cookies here. My boyfriend and will normally pick two and split it. I love the hazelnut one nut also a sucker for an oatmeal choco chop. . And we are suckers for a seasonal scone. Obsessed with the veggie frittata. Every once in awhile I do snag a sandwich. Always a nice change of pace. There's like one table inside and one table outside with some benches. Normally we are doing pop ins so I don't always sit. When it's nice out, it's nice to enjoy a treat outside We do a walk in the morning and love popping in to see what's calling our name. Recently we have been partaking on the Pumpkin Spice Season. It's like a warm hug. This place brings me so much joy! And now that the holidays are around the corner, I'm excited to see what is coming up, will there be pies in my future. Also big shout out for the window artist. So impressive. Always loving the details.

I waited until the last minute to place my order on a Wednesday, and the staff assured me it would be ready by Sunday. I really appreciate their accommodation and the quick turnaround. The cake was fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced. The icing was not overly sweet, and the way they incorporated the tres leches soak was done in a way where it didn't compromise the structure of the cake. Even though the birthday girl only had a small bite, the rest of the guests loved it. Several people even asked where the cake was from because it was that good. I look forward to my next cake from them.
