CakeBoiShop — Restaurant in New York

I love supporting local spots, and have wanted to support CakeBoi for a while. I finally tried it, and had a disappointing experience, but an experience that I think could easily be improved for the future. First, actually entering the shop to order we were greeted by 3 lovely workers — the girl who told us the flavors was so sweet. However, half the cakes were sitting out unrefrigerated during a hot day, and there was clearly no A/C. We were offered a choice between refrigerated or non to buy, and obviously went for the cold option, but I think it’s dangerous to just have cake and icing sitting out in a hot shop. On to the actual cake — it was good, but for an $8 price point and for as slim as a slice I received, it wasn’t worth it. Obstensibly, I think the cake is honestly just box mix, and clearly the baker’s hand comes in with the creative icing flavors, but I don’t think that should be the means for charging that much more. For reference, I can get a slice of a similar size of olive oil cake that I know is not box-mix for $6 at some cafes. Or I can get a slice double the size down the street also for $6-7. I hope this business considers re-evaluating some of these practices. I would love to support them again if these things change, and despite my review I think everyone should go in and form their...

I live in the area and always run by here when I think I’ve earned a sweet treat! I usually get a single slice of red velvet, but the other flavors I’ve tried are amazing as well, in addition to the famous Biggie cookies. The cakes are so moist (sorry if you hate that word, but it’s an important trait for cake lol) and the icing is delicious, creamy and tastes homemade — so superior to the chemically, overly sweetened taste of grocery store icing — so the combination of both makes for a perfectly balanced, sweet but not overly rich cake. The single slice servings are also very generous for under $10 — you can definitely share dessert with someone or save the leftovers for another day. If I have a party anytime soon, I’ll definitely be coming here to get a whole cake! It’s also locally owned — I was actually checked out by the owner’s mom today, who works in the store in addition to another job and is very kind, which is a big part of the reason I decided it was time to leave a review :) Just be sure to bring cash if you’re just getting a slice because the card minimum is $10 (though you can always just add a cookie like me to get over the threshold). Overall,...

This is my absolute favorite place for a sweet treat! I was waiting for them to come back and was elated when they did- all of the slices and the banana pudding are so good but I cannot say enough good things about the carrot cake slice. I went in everyday for a week until they had it and was able to try most of the other slices in the time being! They have unique flavors and never disappoint- the cakes are always super moist no matter what flavor. I also love that each cake has the perfect amount of frosting- I always feel like I have to scrape off some when I’m eating other cakes but the ratio is perfect on every slice. Anytime I have an excuse to stop by I do and always take my friends when I’m walking by and appreciate the friendly service! Thank...
