In addition, they have sitting in the covered exterior where there is also access to the Restroom. I'm pretty much addicted to their Cafe au latte and the Berry Napoleon!! So delicious!!

Just saying. It's crazy after 10:00pm! But so much fun!! I'm a people watcher and some of the outfits, make up and attitudes are so great!! They come from all over. Martha's Rocks!!

I ended up getting a slice of Tiramisu and one slice of lemon meringue. Both were excellent, but the tiramisu was wonderful. You could definitely taste the coffee in it, and it was rich and decadent. They also offer coffee drinks, but given the recent brutal NYC winter cold, I wanted a hot chocolate instead, which was exactly the warm and comforting drink I needed. I would say around 4 stars.

Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit.

Hands down the BEST bakery in Astoria. Everything is fresh and delicious. Plus the staff is nice.read more

The cannoli on top was delicious but the rest of the cake fell short. The cake itself was dry and crumbly and had an odd flavor. The cheecake wasn't cooked all the way through it seemed so it was a goopy mess in the center so the whole cheesecake slice had fallen flat by the time we got home. There was an almond cake slice we took home as well and that tasted more citrus than almond. It was good but nothing to write home about. Took home some tulumba as well and that was very good. The guy helping us didn't seem to really know too much about the cakes or what was a customer favorite... But at the least he was handsome. Maybe their Greek specialities are what they are primarily known for, if so, I'll be back to try those and re-review.

We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

I was initially lured in by the good Yelp reviews. I liked that I could do everything online, I had a particular vision for what I wanted my birthday cake to look like and they communicated with me via email that could make my vision come true. I had a birthday celebration at a restaurant, which I asked The Evercake to have delivered directly to the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the restaurant had the cake before I even got there. The cake was very cute and did look like what I had pictured. But...what I majorly disliked was the actual taste of the cake and being misled about what the contents of the cake would be. I selected the strawberry shortcake option for my cake and what I got was not what I thought it would be. I think it's quite normal for a strawberry shortcake to have like...real strawberries in between the layers. My cake didn't really have that, and if it did it was hidden in all the strawberry jam that there instead. I was not a fan of the cake texture too and the cream outside of the cake. Overall I felt so sad that I was feeding this to my friends and I told them that they didn't have to finish it because I wasn't going to either. So embarrassing :( Would you believe that this flop of a cake was nearly $200? And that's after the 10% coupon. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because it wasn't completely bad, but the cake not tasting good was the biggest thing for me. I would have preferred it the other way around at least, like if the service was so bad but the cake tasted amazing, but unfortunately that was not the case for me. After digging through the reviews some more, I found that this happened to another customer as well. I wish I had seen their review before ordering a "strawberry" shortcake from here lol dang

They just opened at the end of April to early May 2022. From the name of this shop, i naturally assumed they only sold pastries. Aside from pastries, and to my surprise, they also sell diner fast food (i.e., burgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, etc.). I had no idea. The name can throw one off. People would naturally think it's a pastry shop. It's an interesting mix of fast food and pastries. They have a decent selection of sliced cakes/pastries, which include red velvet, creme brulee, strawberry shortcake, and tiramisu. I believe they also prepare large cakes for special occasions like birthdays and weddings. I was really happy with my purchase and would totally return. The place is clean, has seating, and the cashier was really nice. It's also just nice to see more variety of stores opening in this area. The north side of Queens Blvd in LIC is seriously lacking in options. The flavor to the pastries were lite, which i enjoyed because sometimes you just don't want pastries drenched in sugar where it's enough to kill a charging elephant in Africa. It all tasted great and the cream puff with the vanilla filling was to die for! The hot food was really good also. It felt refreshing and not oily at all. I got the banh mi chicken sandwich, along with some appetizers. All were really good. Come check this place out and SUPPORT them!

The orange creamsicle ganache and the passion fruit pastry were the top sellers. Eventually, we'll get to their brunch. But if you're looking to get fancy desserts as a gift, highly recommend this place.
