I was headed to Howard Beach and this was a top Yelp suggestion. There were all kinds of wonderful goodies that made for some great holiday boxes to drop off on my next few stops. What was really nice is that they were decorated in fall colors with fun little Thanksgiving touches. There was a wide variety of chocolate covered Oreos with turkeys, leaves, pilgrims and cornucopia. Graham crackers and Rice Krispies were also dipped and decorated. And, God, I wish I had saved a chocolate and sprinkle-covered Twinkie for myself!! Everything was tucked into unique pink boxes, which helps these treats stand out from the usual bakery fare. Next time I'm going for the chocolate pizzas, cupcakes, and beautifully decorated cakes. The young lady behind the counter was also the baker and she could not have been nicer. She was so helpful! From all of the items on display, it's clear she takes a lot of pride in her work. I can't wait to go back and stock up. Definitely check out this wonderful spot!!

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.

Hope they don't change.

I saw several other people's in the shop that were just relaxing with their coffees. The bakery seemed very chill and welcoming. I would return back if I'm in the area :)

I always feel like family when I step into his bakery. Thank you once again They also did my wedding cake included in these photos which matched perfectly with my decor and was everything I envisioned it to be. The cake tasted amazing as always so much so that my husband decided to feed himself a few times LOL. I think the photos speak for themselves when it comes to how delicious it was.

It's such a reliable option when you want something quick without sacrificing quality. Their artisan breads are baked daily, and the bakery section is impressive offering whole cakes, cheesecakes, and a variety of desserts and pastries. I also love browsing their coffee bean section. There's a wide variety to choose from, which makes it fun to try something new. If you're coming strictly for groceries, just keep in mind that some items can be on the pricier side. That said, they do run occasional specials, so it's worth keeping an eye out.

The aisles are very small. The selection overall is good as is the presentation, however The staff is extremely rude as as the management as a retired, disabled, senior citizen. I am in there. And this is not one time this is several last couple years when I decide to go to this location I've attempted to use my benefits card and I'm told to repeatedly use it over and over and over again, even though all the prompts say it should've gone through The staff and the manager make up excuses, but they're not able to accept the car today. This goes on and on I even show them a previous receipt that went through with a major balance on the card and no reasonable explanation. Other than that they don't want to use the benefits card. Again they disrespect, and just general, rude attitude would lead me to even say that they're discriminatory towards senior citizens Which is something I've never said before on any of these yelp reviews After the last two experiences here in early December 20 25, I'll not go back. I may pursue reporting them to the city authorities. I understand that bravo on 34th Ave. and 35th St. a sister affiliated It's amazing difference in the two locations. Food Emporium is an Emporium I will not ever go to again A bunch of losers

I had a cake-tasting party recently, and my friend brought a strawberry tres leches cake from Capy…read more I was blown away by how good it was because I've never been wild about tres leches and didn't even know other variations of tres leches (like strawberry) were possible. All the flavors and textures just tied in so well that it didn't feel overwhelming. The vanilla bread was indeed very spongy and had just the right amount of strawberries decorating it. Even though the fruits were glazed, it wasn't with the kind of glaze that's overbearing and sweet; it was quite neutral (as advertised). The 4 stars is only because I don't think one cake warrants a 5 stars; I need to go and experience the hospitality and other cakes first. Sadly, the strawberry tres leches cake did not win the cake contest.

But when I asked one of the employees for help, he looked me up and down and said, "Wait until it's your turn," in a really rude tone -- even though he wasn't helping anyone at the time. I later asked another staff member if I could speak to the manager, and she told me he was the manager. Honestly, I don't think a manager should be setting that kind of example. The cakes are amazing, but the attitude really ruined the experience.
