Parisi Bakery — Restaurant in New York

Im writing this to hopefully gain the attention of the owners/bakers of this establishment.

You have a bakery in a neighbourhood were a large amount of the population has grown up with traditional sourdough bread. Meaning the standards in terms of bread, are pretty high. So deciding not to make that in this neighborhood is a horrible mistake. And the owner/management should reconsider.

Every time I step in, I am overwhelmed with disappointment, because everything is just the same in terms of texture and flavor. You claim to make “sourdough” bread, but what you make is NOT sourdough bread, because clearly you have skipped a few steps to hasten the process of making it. Therefore creating a weak and non-existent crust.

I assure you that if you make the smart decision and craft REAL sourdough bread, you will have LINES in your bakery wanting it and eventually selling out of it on a daily basis. I have to ride to Brooklyn to get proper sourdough bread, because the bakeries in ASTORIA, have failed miserably to make...

Coffee and almond croissant is amazing. Service is awful. I ordered iced latte with oat milk. Lady took my order and then said : wait a minute and went to do smth. After a while she returned back, confirmed order, charged me and made me (!) regular ice coffee with regular milk. When I told her it wasn’t my order, she started arguing with me, trying to convince me “the first time you said, the second time you did not say “ And then : I did not even charge you for oat milk

Well, first of all we would not have this kind of issue, if you would take my order only once, right? And listen at the first place.

Then, she finally stopped being rude and decided to up-charged me extra 2$ for oat milk.

2$!!!! Since when I pay 8$ for coffee and croissant and have to pay extra 2$ for not my mistake? It was the last time I come to this place. Very rude and inappropriate way to communicate...

I don’t know about many things at this shop, but my roommate and I love their cheesecakes.

They are an Italian baker and also my Italian friend knew this place. Once she wanted to buy a whole cheese cake for her friend’s birthday, and looking for the best option which suited on her budget. She was i midtown and tried to check some places, but she ended up buying at Parisi and very satisfied with that.

When I had some for the Valentine’s Day, I think they had a decorated one with strawberries on top on it. This time she couldn’t find it but had a option to put candles on it.

Good tasty and reasonable, just right off the subway. Perfect local cheesecake in Astoria. (They do other cakes...
