Whistle Stop Desserts — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

Their products are usually on point, when fresh. The apple pie is great and most of their pies and cakes are very well-done and consistent. I have two bones to pick. Being a fellow CIA alumnus, I appreciate customer service, the backbone in the hospitality industry. Sometimes they miss this mark. They will absolutely NOT make substitutions, even for sensitivities for something extremely simple as omitting walnuts in a product. I get it it, for allergies they can't guarantee that cross contamination won't happen because it's in the house, but it's not that hard to leave the walnuts out on a special order. Speaking of which, why can't they make a custom birthday cake? We're not looking for a Buddy Valastro fondant monstrosity, just some choices for cake variations. It's a special order for Pete's sake. If I have to order 2 weeks ahead, tell me, I'll wait! Second, the pies are great when they are fresh. It's happened many times (we go frequently and gamble on quality because when we get lucky, the pie is that good!). At times, the pies have been previously frozen (especially Apple) , which is just such a let down. It would be great (and good business practice for transparency) that they would honestly say that "these have been previously frozen " so you know what you're getting when you're expecting a fresh pie. I have to say, it's still a great bake shop, but it was better in many ways before the transition of ownership. I know it's the same family, but it's not the same. For example, being closed on a Sunday is a major disappointment since we now have to eat day older desserts because they were bought on Saturday and worse if they were...

Hello world, if you ever visit long Island and don't try this bakery, that's just a tragedy...

I'm considered a food critic in my house,and I disprefer biased information or reviews. This is not the first time I've been to this bakery, and I'm trying to withhold some of my excitement but yes I would absolutely recommend this bakery to try atleast once if you're ever land in Long Island.

One word that comes to mind is the bakery is rich, and very full.

Warning : this is not your regular bakery stuff! You are entering this world of flavors at your 9wn risk.

Highly recommend : I'm assuming everything but what I always get are the raspberry and apricot bars and the canolis

This visit we tried the above and : Lemon poppy + apple crust muffins, Plane cream cheese cup cake and a chocolate peanut butter cupcake.

Thank you for reading and enjoy your...

The owner has to be the cheapest person around. I ordered a birthday cake a while back and I asked for a plastic birthday sign, after paying a lot for the cake he charged $1.50 for it! Then again I had an incident recently I ordered a crumb cheese cake which I’ve ordered numerous times however when I went to serve it there was no cheese in it and very dry. I called and explained to the girls that work there who are very helpful and they told him about it, now this was February 15th and then they went on vacation. I called today and I was told I should have saved the box (are you kidding me) I threw it out. That’s not how you conduct business and I will never go there again and I’m going to let all my...
