    I 1st went in 2020 after winning a Facebook contest and ummmmm the cookies were delicious! I usually try to avoid 1/2 pound cookies and since their location is out of the way for me, I haven't been since. But this week I was in the area and treated myself to a tiramisu latte and breakfast sammy. I ordered online and parked easily. It was a small plaza which was honestly packed but since I ordered ahead I got my food right away. It was delicious and the woman at the register was peppy. If I'm in the area, I would go back!

    One of the better bagel sandwiches in the area. Bagels are chewy, double egg is the default and excellent customer service. Coffee is good too. Always look forward to coming here for breakfast.

    Great little bake shop! Hidden gem and a hole in the wall! Great, friendly service. We tried the chocolate covered s'mores and they were to die for! I also bought some buckeyes and Italian lemon cookies for family as well. The cheesecakes in the case looked AMAZING! If you're in the neighborhood, stop in!

    Was in the area on vacation and was driving down the street and out of the corner of my eye, saw a purple sign that said Cookies... and in an instant had a HOLY SHIT moment... I have been following UCS for years on Insta and knew they were in NY but never realized WHERE they were (I live in Boston and like I said I was in town on vaca and totally forgot about where I was)... So I literally make an illegal turn right in the middle of the street (it was safe to do so, I promise) and pull right in... The shop is little, but in this little space there is TONS to buy, Trust me I think I bought it all. We got ice cream, too many cookies, the kids got candy, Pretzels, candies, just everything they sold. I was expecting the price to be insane and was shocked when it wasnt... Have been back 2 more times since originally trying them, the last time we went in the kids were super excited for Ice cream and unfortunately they ran out of ice cream that day, so if you are going for that, go earlier in the day! I havent had a bad cookie from there, and I honestly cant pick my fave - but the chocolate chip is just truly a good cookie, Great cookie actually!! We stop in now any time we are in the area, you should too... You wont be sorry!

    Very cute bakery in Rensselaer. When you walk in, you will smell the fresh baked goods out of the oven. Bakery treats are displayed all over the shop left and right, so many options and decision to choose a batch of cookies. This is a dessert lover heaven!! We opted for the 6pc cookies deal. The cookies are insanely large. Ice cream machine had a malfunction that day but id go back to try their ice cream another time WHAT WE ORDERED Choco caramel cookie Cookies n cream cookie Worm in dirt cookie Chocolate chip cookie Choco almond cookie Peanut butter cookie (I may have mistaken some flavors, I forgot the flavors) Peach green tea Peach lemonade (Lemonade was fresh squeezed, we saw the owner squeezing the lemonades) The lemonade was on point delicious for a hot summer day! I was surprised how good it tasted and doesn't taste artificial either. Expect fresh brewed teas and fresh squeezed lemonades!! They're active on social media, IG! Take pix n tag them on your IG!

    Chopped bagel and cream cheese on lightly toasted onion bagel. Dewicious!

    Cookies are delicious. Very small building. Better for takeout and to be enjoyed at home.

    Daisie's has grown. I was the first to write a Yelp review for this business more than 2 years ago…read morewhen it was solely a bakery featuring Daisie's awesome tres leches (3 dairy) cakes. Months later, Daisie began offering occasional meals. I know that it has become a full fledged eatery. What a nice menu! It wasn't very busy when my friend and I stopped in for an early dinner just before 5pm. The business is still very cute and clean. Daisie has added a lot of Mexican candy and snacks to her inventory. We came primarily for tacos. My friend had chicken tacos. I had chorizo tacos. They were on small soft corn tortillas and were as delicious as they were authentic. I also had an order of flautas. They were three crispy rolled tortillas filled with shredded chicken and topped with shredded lettuce, cheese and sour cream. They were good, too. So was the slice of tres leches which we shared. Daisie wasn't in but there was a very friendly and efficient young woman behind the counter who took our orders and served the meals. The dishes came out of the kitchen in a timely manner. It appeared to be well run whatever hiccups previously existed were gone. We enjoyed the meal and stayed so long that we almost ran late to catch a show. I left in such a hurry that I forgot my bag on a seat. I didn't get very far before I noticed my mistake. I called ahead and when I returned, the young woman welcomed me. There were no customers at the time, but she put my bag behind the counter for safe keeping which was reassuring. I was so grateful and she was so gracious, I insisted on giving her a second tip / reward as a gesture of appreciation. It was a great experience all around and I look forward to returning to eat my way through the menu. Thanks so much.

    We came in and picked up a bunch of pastries and desserts after this place came highly recommended!…read moreUnfortunately, my empanada was served not heated through, which was a bummer- though the flavor was delicious. The cream cheese guava pastry was amaze. My partner wasn't a huge fan of the concha, it seemed less fresh than everything else we ordered. Tres leches was also tasty. The highlight was the churro cheesecake thought, just so unique and flavorful and decadent!
