Delightful Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in New York

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Delightful Bakery and Café warrants one. This establishment, which previously operated at 84-60 Grand Ave, Elmhurst, NY 11373, was poorly run then—and unfortunately, nothing has improved since their apparent move to the new location.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted not with warmth, but with the rude and dismissive attitude of the owner. Customer service is clearly not a priority here. The coffee tastes stale, as if it’s been sitting for hours, and the pastries are no better—dry, old, and clearly not fresh.

I would never eat here again, and I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable giving any of this food to my children. It’s a shame, because the name suggests a charming and welcoming place, but the reality is far from it. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your coffee and pastry needs.

I also want to state that the review posted seem only oddly similar. Proceed with caution when looking to spend...

DO NOT BUY if you want fresh baked goods So I go into the place and there are these strawberries on top of some cup cakes! I ask. How fresh are that! The lady tells me that if I want fresh baked goods I need to order ahead. By the way, she said this very rudely but I’m still chilling at this point…. I ask ohh so how fresh are the strawberries 🍓 she proceeds to catch an attitude and tell me that they are a week old but I will not be arguing with her about it since she saw me having a heated conversation over the phone. I told this lady that my conversation over the phone has nothing to do with her and all I’m asking is about the freshness of the products. She tells me all bakeries products are a week old and proceeds to walk away. She had a condescending tone as if I’m supposed to be okay with her talking to me like that. Horrible customer service and definitely horrible baked goods if you going to have a strawberry covered in chocolate that...

If you are looking to reward your mouth with something very tasty and delicious, there is no better place to visit than Delightful Bakery and Café on Grand Avenue in Queens. A dear friend (see photo) who spoke highly of the owner introduced me to the bakery. As a fanatical cheese Danish lover, it was my logical first pick along with a medium coffee, light with half and half and two sugars. The coffee was spot on, and the Danish was outstanding, with a generous amount of cheese nestled inside the soft, well-glazed pastry. It was a meal by itself. I can’t wait to test drive some of the other oven-baked creations on my next visit. If you are struggling with blood sugar issues and want to give yourself a well-deserved taste treat, this is the place to visit. Be sure to bring a trusted friend or a ton of self-control... you will need it. Remember to eat...
