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.

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!

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.

They have a good selection of Bundt cakes, actually I've never bought one because my Mom used to make a chocolate one that was super delicious! So of course I ordered a chocolate chocolate chip individual "bundtlet" my granddaughter ordered the strawberry cheesecake swirl "bundtlet" both come with white drizzled icing ! These little cakes were super delicious and very moist the icing is sweet and goes well with the chocolate chip & strawberry cream cake! I must mention the service ! At 6:00 pm there were several people on line and only one guy behind the counter named Kyle he was so friendly and explained the different types of cakes they have sugar free Bundt's too. He served everyone quickly and with a smile ! I'll be back and u guys should stop in for a treat! Large lot for easy parking

Bundt Believe the Hype--These Cakes Are Everything…read more I don't even know where to begin other than this: Nothing Bundt Cakes makes some of the best cakes I've ever had. Truly. I am a chocolate and red velvet person through and through, and I don't play about my cake. Outside of a standout red velvet from a favorite Harlem bakery, these are hands-down some of my favorite cakes--period. The red velvet bundt cake? Incredible. Moist, rich, perfectly balanced, and that icing (I'm guessing cream cheese, but honestly, I don't even care what it is) is just chef's kiss. It's sweet, decadent, and exactly what you want when you're craving cake. And then... the Biscoff flavor. Listen. That cake was on another level. I had it during a seasonal run, and I'm still thinking about it. I actually liked it more than chocolate--and that says everything. It was that good. What really stands out to me is the consistency. I've had Nothing Bundt Cakes in different cities and states over the years, and it is always the same: soft, moist, flavorful, and just done right every single time. I was first introduced to them through birthday gifts (shoutout to the people who knew what they were doing!), and I instantly became a fan. I didn't even realize there was a location near me until recently, and when I found out there was one nearby, I was genuinely excited. I've been to this location twice now, and both times delivered exactly what I expected--amazing cake, great quality, and that same signature flavor I've come to love. Are they the cheapest? No. Are they worth it? Absolutely. If you love cake--real cake, good cake, great cake--go to Nothing Bundt Cakes. You will not be disappointed.

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.
