Cake Jars... it's the only picture he sent!  :(
Stephanie C.

I'm in Boston and wanted to send my son at Adelphi a birthday treat to his dorm. After striking out with a few bakeries (no call-backs, meh reviews), I stumbled on Sydney's Sweets--and thank goodness I did! I spoke with Jermaine, who was fantastic. He not only helped me figure out what to order but even hand-picked the flavors, including a special one just for my son. When I couldn't reach my son to coordinate delivery, Jermaine was calm, flexible, and gave me options without pressure. Zero Stress, all kindness... That kind of service is rare. The cake jars were a huge hit--even the roommates' moms messaged me to say how much they loved them. My only complaint? They didn't ship any to me! Next trip to campus, I'm stopping by Sydney's myself! Food Network winner, amazing treats, Black-owned business, and customer service that goes above and beyond--highly recommend!

Strawberry & oreo cupcakes

Here we go, So, my sister informed me about this bakery that people were raving about on Instagram. Since I was in the area, I thought maybe I would try it out . I really wanted to see what the rave was about. Spoke with one of the owners . Very nice guy. This place is located in West Hempstead in a small shopping mall. If you are driving fast you can miss it. This is not a eat in bakery. It's for pick up only. Let start with the banana pudding cake. This cake was amazing it was very smooth and had the exact taste of banana pudding. Sweet potato cake - I was really excited about tasting this one. However, I was a bit disappointed. This cake wasn't moist like the other, and the frosting was too sweet, which actually was overpowering the taste of the sweet potato. As for the apple pie cake, I haven't tasted it yet, but I am sure it will be a great tasting piece of cake.

My Birthday Cake
Sherry S.

I visited Sydney's Sweets over the weekend to get some cake slices and cupcakes. I ordered the red velvet cupcake and chocolate Oreo cupcake. I also ordered the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake, Oreo cookies and cream cake, Chocolate cake and Sweet Potato Swirl cake slices. Everything was so delicious. The cakes were well prepared, flavorful and moist. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The store was pretty busy since everyone was coming in to pick up some sweets. The inside of the store was very nice since they had some recent upgrades. I'll have to return another time to take advantage of the cake bar. Whenever I need of some delicious cakes I'll be visiting Sydney's Sweets.

Thank you Sydney for the beautiful and delicious graduation cake. The cake was so pretty we felt bad cutting it but I must add, it was just perfect. You did an amazing job.

Sweet potato pie!
Laura C.

Sydney and Jermaine are geniuses. Culinary, confectionery and gastronomical geniuses. Last year I attended a YEE event hosted by them and we got a sampling of many of their cakes and pies. When I tasted Sydney's sweet potato pie, I was transcended to a different astral plane. This was seriously one of the best forkfuls I have ever put in my mouth and I vowed this needed to be on my Thanksgiving table. And that's exactly what I did. I called a week and a half before and placed an order for a pie. Sydney's requires pre-payment, and they take your card info the phone but are happy to accommodate if you come in person before hand to pay since they aren't really a retail bake. After placing my order on the phone, I confirmed with them when I would be dropping by to pay and it was easy peasy. Some might say... easy as pie. I picked up the pie the day before Thanksgiving and was greeted by Jermaine who was chatting with some other customers picking up their holiday delectable. The total vibe was so welcoming. Dessert is always the hardest part about a holiday. You always want to save some room but the entrees and apps get in the way. Well, that wasn't going to happen this time. I saved some room, did crunches in between and had two slices of the pie (along with some other desserts). I savored the damn thing, eating it slowly so that it could just stay forever in my mouth and heart. Sydney is a genius. A bonafide genius. That's all I can really say. And now, with a forlorn and heavy heart, I move into the space where the sweet potato pie one again becomes only a reality in my dreams as I wait out the next year for it to come around again.

Jermaine, head baker and owner

I attended the Yelp Night at The Museum - A Food Art Show event in which the Nassau County Museum of Art was open to Yelp Elite members at night for a private viewing. Sydney's Sweets served cake samples as part of the event. Their red velvet cake was delicious... moist, flavorful, delicious cream cheese frosting. BUT... The coconut cake with coconut cream frosting..... Do yourself a favor and order yourself a cake or a dozen cupcakes of this. It was moist, excellent texture, flavor was perfect. I could have eaten a whole cake of it by myself. The head baker, Jermaine, was friendly and welcoming, taking time to speak with us about his business and offerings. The only sad thing about this is that I do not live anywhere near the bakery! But this cake was so good, I will likely make a special trip so that I can experience it again.

Good quality cake and pricing. They really do put a lot of time and effort in making their cakes. Get ordering! You will not regret it.

I've been a fan of TFW since the opening of their Bayside location, and i absolutely love the…read morelocation here at Garden City. Their pastries are top notch, both in ingredient and aesthetics, but beyond that I am most impressed with the customer service at this location. They stand behind excellence and ensure customer satisfaction, and it shows in their demeanor and action when something is not 100% up to par. If you're looking for something delicious and beautiful, or a piece of cake, tart, or mousse that will impress, this is your place! It's worth every penny!

I frequent The French Workshop and love everything they have to offer…read more Started with the one in Bayside. Then a closer location in garden city opened. And now an even closer location in Plainview! Pretty soon they're gonna open one right in my backyard or something haha. It is a lovely spot for authentic French-inspired pastries and coffee. I've had everything here including cupcakes, brownies, croissants, macarons, cookies, madelines, etc. I've also come here to get a small cake for special occasions. It is also a very nice place to come with friends and enjoy a coffee and pastries. The elegant, pristine interior with marble accents and beautiful displays creates a welcoming Parisian vibe. Perfect for a quick treat or relaxed sit-down. I love the cookies here, they're soft and chewy unlike the Plainview FWS I always leave with a giant bag of 5 of every different flavor of cookie(chocolate chip, nutella, oreo, pistachio, etc) because the texture is so soft and smooth. My new obsession is the fruits of the forest cake. So delicious! Its a must try!!! It gets packed in here, but the line moves quickly! If you haven't tried FWS yet, what are you waiting for?

My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

This is by far my favorite ice cream/ gelato place! I always tell my friends and family about it…read more The place itself is so cute, with seating on the inside and outside. The staff as well is great as well and friendly. Their gelato is delicious with various flavors. The coconut is my favorite! They also have cakes, sorbets, and coffees. Visit before the summer is over!
