I simply loved the cannoli and lobster tail pastries . They're amazing! Pair it with a cup of coffee and keep walking, New York!

Edwulf

World famous due to TV show, bakery offers several pastry and cakes to eat in or take away . Canoli , lobster tail and cheesecake are top options. Take a ticket to be serviced!

Nice place, b patient service a bit slow Had small 3" strawberry shortcake $7.50 & asked for 3 spoons to share,was good had better.They pak everything in a box to go not nec., 4 all, waste of paper!

Inga Bergmann

A lot of fancy stuff to look at. My red velvet cup cake was delicious. Atmosphere in bakery very uncomfy..

NEIGHBORLY NOTARY NYC

A party of 10 from Italy and everything was delicious except the red rose cupcake that tastes like spray paint.I know sugar roses and that was toxic. Luv you cake boss, but change the red rose recipe.

Ellie Manduriao

Tiramisu is my favorite here... The best tiramisu i ever tasted. Love the white chocolate mousse cake and cheese cake as well . They're all pretty good. Always a long line ...

Natalie M

Cupcake and cannoli were amazing! Wait is a little long but a lot of people take a ticket and then leave so it does go by quicker than you'd think!

MC

The pastries look more delicious on TV but reality I didn't like them at all. The tasting of cannoli are not yummy. They look chemical

Stephen Neill O'Brien

I don't know....I waited a bit....dumbest way to wrap something....big mess....the taste was GREAT!!! Good stuff..try not to be so cute with the packaging.

Eduardo Stimamilio

Get ready to wait! The 4 times I've been there, there was at least 30 people ahead of me. But it was totally worth the wait!

Well , for a guy that makes all those beautiful cakes all day long on discovery channel, it was a dissappointing experience. Strawberry cheese cake tasted dry and eclair was dull. Expensive pricing.

Carla

I had no idea they opened up a shop on 42nd street! As soon as I saw this place I had to try their cannoli and they did not disappoint. The cannolis here r delicious ♡

Georgie Castilla

As seen on TV , Buddy 's cakes , cupcakes and cookies are SPECTACULAR. Try the peanut butter cookie and thank me later!

Sam S

While I was here when it was still called Cake Boss, not much has changed. The Napoleon is a big hit with everyone who's tried it and is my go-to.

Lorna Gonzalez

I had the Boston Cream Tower, delish. Take a number as soon as you walk in, I didn't realize it till a number was called. :-)

J.C. Bowman

Great to experience and food. Love the croissants .

Cathy Caltabiano

Lobster tail was very good. Super busy, but the staff was friendly and fun. Glad we stopped!

K. cappa Way

You better love cupcakes , love the person you give one to or be rich. $9 for a cupcake is absurd .

Luis Bourges

My opinion is that eclaire is better than the cannoli ! Thats just me!

Jacob Ford

Though primarily inedible, the giant Buddy bobblehead might be the best thing here.

Randy Dorman

Lobster claws and cannoli are even better than expected.

Ceren B

It was my dream. I realized. OMG... All deserts are amazing... You must taste... :)

Paul Smith

Cakes were good but the service at this location sucked! There were employees just walking around and chit chatting with each other when there was a long line of people waiting

Dasha Kozhemyakina

Perfect strawberry cheesecake and very nice personnel... I'll definitely come back here))

Emmanuel Valencia

We got a regular cheesecake but it was really basic and over prized. Just try any other bakery around the city .

Sam Atassi

Do not go there during holidays. They run out almost out of everything....no canoly , no cupcakes , no eclaires , just great $9.50 mini cakes !!!! Still awesome experience.

Jess Maya

Apple pie is good. Strawberry cheese cake is ok. I didn’t feel like ‘going to heaven’ while tasting but it’s ok. A little bit expensive .

Randy Dorman

Cannoli and lobster tails are the best.

Vg Krish

Had eclair and coffee .. Can't say its great. Just another cake shop

Janice Wojciechowski

White chocolate mousse cake is amazing. Don't get the cupcakes -not worth it

Shakeena Green

The cannolis are the BEST!! Avoid going after 5pm on weekdays

Deb

Expensive and didn't really please my taste, chocolate truffle was hard and too sweet for me. Tried to share with a friend but still tossed out the whole thing

Brenn S.

Ridiculous lines ! Be sure to be near the counter or you'll miss your number

Tallyn Wesner

Even if it looks crazy busy, stop in! They're super expeditious.

Emily Brown

Cupcakes are super fluffy and light ????

Eduardo Diaz

The only gluten free option is the chocolate truffle ...

Allegra Jacobs

There's always gonna be a line . But it moves fast! Super fun place if you like the show!

Claudio Grosso

Try one lobster tail . Its terrific.

Halana Mendonça

I liked the cake but it's expensive .

Dana Kim

Really crowded but worth the wait. Lobster tails are to die for.

Pau Calderon

I had a cheesecake slice for almost 12 dollars, expensive for the thing if you ask me

L!

Run away from this place! It is crowded and although the cannoli looks good it tastes awful. The cupcakes are just regulars. Go to Magnolia Bakery , save your money and time and be happy!

Carolyn Clement

Vying for a chair can be difficult, but the cake is yummy! Coffee is reasonably priced, too.

Erin Terry

Cannoli are amazing!

Sandi Dunlap

The cupcakes were good. I had a Napoleon and the puff pastry was tough.

Marcelo Salgado

You have to try the canollis . <3 <3 <3

Aaditya

The cakes , the cookies , the brownies ... Everything basically! Expensive though.

Ellie Manduriao

The best tiramisu i tasted!

Kaity Chan

Popular by demand or cus its jus celebrity bakery . Ive had better pastries but it does have more of a homemade feel to it

Javier Ballesteros Villanueva
