New York Bakery Cafe - Astoria

I had tried cannolis before, and being Italian myself, I have high expectations. Unfortunately, the cannoli I ordered at this restaurant was a disappointment. The shell was soggy and the filling was terrible, lacking the traditional ricotta cheese. It was a truly unsatisfying experience.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of cakes, tarts, cannoli, and other baked goods and desserts. We tried the bierenteer and chocolate mousse, both of which were delicious. The late hours allowed us to stop by after our nearby dinner, and the place was bustling with customers. Clearly a popular spot with great offerings.

I used to frequent this bakery for their desserts, but in the last 6-7 months, the quality of their fruit-based desserts has become inconsistent. My latest purchase was disappointing. I ordered a coconut cake and a strawberry cake, tipped 20%, and spent about $15. When I got home, I found that the coconut cake was dry as usual, but the strawberry cake tasted rancid. I contacted the bakery about the issue but received no response. This lack of customer service is concerning. In the past, I had to return a multi-fruit tart because it tasted off, and the staff was unhelpful. I hope the bakery takes steps to improve the quality of their desserts and customer service.

I needed a last minute cake and it was the first bakery I found in the opposite. I decided to leches for the strawberries and it's one of the best cakes I've ever had. also the employees working there were incredibly friendly. will definitely come when I need cake for special occasions!

I gave them a try for the first time today. Since I was a stranger here, I was a little at a loss and awkward. But, the server who I think was Maria attented to me in a warm and friendly manner, and it made my coffee time comfortable. Also, their coffee and pastries were both great. I'll definitely come back soon.
