Don Dean Bakery — Restaurant in New York

If you happen to be in this part of Sunnyside and are craving something quick, Don Dean Bakery is a solid option to go to. I actually have tried a couple of times in the past week to go here after work, but I keep missing them as they close at 6pm. Finally, I decided to go before work and got to try them out today.

I was hoping to try out their pan de yuca or their pan de yema but both were out when I went. So, instead I ordered a couple of the Bunuelos (cheese fritters), Conchas, chocolate croissant and apple pie.

Both the chocolate croissant and apple pie were good. Each had a nice flaky texture and were not overly sweet. The Conchas was also very good, albeit very messy to eat. The bread was soft, sweet and went well with the white topping. The Chochas also came in a chocolate version but I did not try these. The Bunuelos were okay. It had a nice crunchy crust but tasted a little bland to me.

I would like to come back and try some of their hot food like the empanadas and tacos. If only they did not close so early in the day!

I have not had everything on the menu, but this had been a great place for me to stop and grab a bite after work early in the morning. Unfortunately the other day while I was there sitting down I saw atleast 4 of the most tiniest of roaches, like the size of a spec, but for me this could be signs of an infestation and who knows how it looks in the back, just thinking bout it made me lose my appetite ... As far as the food goes, the empanadas are just ok, but for 2.50 ya can't complain, the green sauce helps with the flavor, just don't add to much cuz it's a bit spicy, and the BEC was also just Meh, not too pricy tho. So I guess food wise I'd say it's a good Lil spot price wise, just don't expect the best meal ever, I also enjoy the fact that they have a free bakery basket, but who knows for how long those items have been sitting for!?! I really hope this place gets this roach problem under control!! Maybe one day I will return but for now it's a...

Awesome empanadas. One of the best green sauces I have tasted. Now for the bad.....they charge you 50 cents for every extra one they choose to give you. I went there yesterday for iced coffee. It was 4 dollars....problem was they charged me 50 cents EXTRA for half and half. Seems like they put BS surcharges just to make extra money. Did I mention the roaches.....they can be seen on the pastries in the left showcase. Spend more time cleaning and left time stealing and you will get better ratings. It's a shame....they got off to a good start when they opened a few years ago, but laziness and greed has gotten the...
