Cerasella

I was super skeptical about all the five star reviews but this place is legit. I’ve never liked Italian bakeries- always been a patisserie fan instead but this place blows any mediocre french place out of the water!! Pastries are bigger than other photos show. The sfogliatella came out fresh and the custard was so hot that it scalded my mouth. Love the candied orange in the custard. One of The owners was there and he is super friendly and chatty- he is from Napoli. He is a truly passionate about food and ingredients. The pear ricotta cake was divine- good balance of flavors. They wrap anything to go in a true Italian gift packaging. I felt like I was transported to Italy with all the Italians here speaking Italian!! And with the pastries, there is just So much care taken. I bet you think the owner paid me to write this review but I kid you not, this place is legit 😂and I write of my own free will

This place is amazing, a short walk from our hotel and definitely worth it. The owner is friendly, the coffee is great and the food is to die for. Do it. You won't regret this place

This is the best Italian bakery in Queens, the best I have tried in the states. The quality of the ingredients speaks for itself. Pastry in Italy is light and flavorful; you don't walk away feeling as if you consumed loads of sugar. You don't feel tired and sluggish 20 minutes later. This bakery represents a true experience of eating pastry in Italy. Congratulations and our gratitude to the owner, pastry chef and staff for their dedication and love towards their business and for opening a retail shop during Covid and persevering through, to make this a true gem in Astoria.

OMGGGG! This is the best Italian pastry and coffee place in New York City! ❤️ I absolutely love it! Their desserts and pastries are top of the line! Their Coffee is high quality and European style. It’s also in a nice area in Long Island City, you can find parking nearby and the ambience is pretty chill. They’ll make you feel like home!

An awesome, real Italian bakery. The best espresso in Astoria (and possibly the whole NYC) and proper Italian pastries and sweets! Totally worth the trip if you don’t love near it
