    Cornbread, apple pie square, strawberry something
    Steve A.

    I parked by the Scrabble sign at 35th and 81st. It was replaced. :( So I walked up to Northern Blvd. to get picked up by a friend and decided I'd grab a bite while waiting. Had the following: * Corn muffin / cornbread: I would call it Southern style. Not very sweet, the sort you'd dip in BBQ sauce (but none of that here). I prefer that to the sweeter, moister Northern style, but now you know. * Strawberry... dairy... something. Didn't put a name on it, just pointed to it and had it. Vanilla custard I think? Call it that. Absolutely wonderful. Two entire strawberries chopped on top. Plenty of custard below held in the crust. Delicious and plenty to it. * Apple pie square: Really cheap for how much you get! Plenty of apples in there, it's carb heavy but a nice loaded snack if you should like sweet apple pie squares. Service was friendly, personable, they forgot to ring up the apple pie but they got it right. You point, they'll pick, you take, you eat, you smile. Without busting your wallet. Bring a 10 or 20 and go to town in here!

    Box optional. 1/2 LB of assorted butter cookies at $11.99 per LB.

    Legitimately a great bakery with a variety of items from butter cookies to elephant ears to fresh rolls to bread to sandwiches to cakes, cupcakes, flans, custard, and gelatin. Oh yeah and they make and serve beverages as well. Service is quick and friendly with a smile. You can buy in bulk or in smaller quantities but good luck with deciding on how to keep your order small. CASH is king here so save your cards for another time. They open pretty early and close relatively late so be sure to take your time checking out all of the goods because there is a lot! Definitely check it out if you're anywhere nearby in the area.

    Great little bakery in Jackson Heights. Very limited seating , but authentic place to grab a fresh pastry and coffee. The young women behind the counter are very nice and are very fast when the line starts to build up.

    They do make one very good bread: the large round wholewheat. Funny thing is the small wholewheat is not as good.

There was a tray of Tee-Doy decided not to buy any of them because they were all hard. Got 2 of the fish sandwiches and 2 of the chicken sandwiches. The prices for both sandwiches and bun have jumped up since January. I stopped here to get items for family and relatives/friends. Not impressed with their chicken sandwiches for they were hard and there is tendon in one other chicken sandwich has area that was not edible. The quality definitely not what it use to be here. There were lots of seats and tables for patrons to sit. Notice less foot traffic at this store.

I decided to try their Coconut Pandan cake which was enjoyable except for the jelly they had in the middle. The cake itself was pretty moist and the cream had a nice Pandan flavor. The Portuguese egg tart is what you would expect from one of these bakery's, very basic but it was nice and flaky. The milk tea was also okay, we asked for less sugar so it was not too sweet. We also got the sesame mochi to go and this was delicious! Definitely the best thing I bought from this bakery. The sesame paste was nice and strong but not too gritty and the mochi was super soft. I have to go back to grab another when I get the chance!

I got the flan cheesecake instead and it was good though! I was skeptical but the two does work well together. I also got the berry napoleon and while the whipped cream is light, I prefer a custard and the layers to be crispier. I did get their butter cookies for the first time, and they were good. Parisi bakery still have the best ones in my opinion. I got the Italian cheesecake which I always do, and I think I like this refrigerated more. There doesn't seem to be a difference between cash and credit anymore.

    I love Lety's Bakery & I'm glad it has been in Jackson Heights for a while & many years to come…read more The employees there are always very sweet & everything I've had there was great, some more than others of course (like the flan & rainbow cookies stand out more than other things to me). Everything I've tried so far has been fresh as well. The one important thing to note though is that the flan cheesecake is amazing (who even came up with that haha) & I do think the textures do mix well BUT only when eaten fresh. In short, do not take the flan cheesecake to go as it does not travel well at all, even if it's for a short distance. Simply enjoy it inside the cafe instead :).

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!

A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. 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!
