Leli's Bakery & Pastry Shop

Great pastries and pies! I highly recommend this bakery. They have a variety of savory and sweet pastries, and both kinds are very good. The sweet ones are not overly sweet, which I really like. They're sweet in a balanced way so I can actually taste all the flavors, not just sugar. So far I've tried about dozen different things, and it's my goal to try all of them eventually.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Leli's. I last minute had a baker cancel for a large event due to a personal emergency, and with less than 48 hours until our event, Leli's swooped in. Not only were they pastries they provided delicious, but they were a pleasure to work with! I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I gave it 3 stars for the nice man working with a broken arm behind the counter with a sling and cast on.
However:
Coffee was mediocre.
Certain cookies were better than others.
The pecan pie was a challenge. I tried to like all of it. There's a lot to choose from but my choices had to have been met with: better recommendations. Rode from Ditmars to this place with hopes of a good pastry experience sadly it wasn't worth the stars on Yelp.

Love the rainbow cookies and coconut macaroons. The owner is so incredibly nice and friendly. I always look forward to stopping by to say hello and bring some of my favorite sweets home to longisland to enjoy w family

Best napoleon I've ever had, and I don't usually like napoleons! The laminated pastry game is top notch here. It's not the cheapest, but everything is clearly made with care. The owner was very kind. Very happy to support this spot, especially in an economic climate that's especially tough on small local businesses!
