Craig was absolutely caring and thoughtful! During my trip to Hunter Mountain, my partner and I found his Bakery in Tannersville. This is a MUST if you’re in the area!
The Key Lime pie is amazing! The airiness of the key lime with the whipped cream and lime rinds go so wonderfully with the textured crust.
Every item at his shop is hands down a gourmet version of your favorite!

Visited Tannersville this past weekend!
This place has the best key lime pie I’ve ever had. The crust is perfect. Devoured in 5 minutes (between two).
The chocolate pudding, chubby squirrels, biscuits, and chocolate cupcakes are a must try. Honestly, get one of everything if you can. I’d come back to tannersville just for this! And the owner was so kind and patient. Love love love!

Sandakan Bake is an absolute gem. The owner is nothing short of amazing — a true artisan whose passion shows in every detail. His pastries are works of art: beautifully rustic, handcrafted, and full of authentic flavor. From the towering whipped-cream-topped key lime pies to the golden, perfectly crinkled pecan pies, everything looks and tastes like it came straight out of a high-end European pastry boutique.
The atmosphere he creates is warm, welcoming, and uniquely charming — a mix of farmhouse elegance and old-world bakery magic. Every visit feels personal, and his kindness and professionalism make the experience even sweeter.
If you appreciate real craftsmanship, unforgettable flavors, and a bakery with soul, Sandakan Bake is an absolute must. Truly one of the best pastry artists around.

Incredible 10/10!! I love carrot cake and couldn’t wait to try this one. So so good and the owner was so incredibly friendly. Will stop in whenever we are in the area and can’t wait to have this slice again!

Delightful bakery in Tannersville! The cheddar and chive biscuits are particularly exceptional and Craig was very friendly and helpful in selecting our pastries.
We sat, sipped our coffee and enjoyed our baked goods with a cozy jazz soundtrack. A perfect Saturday morning. Can’t miss when you’re in town!

It’s rare that you find a place where the food makes you want to sit in your own little headspace, savoring each and every amazing little flavor, and textural profile, as it all awakens each taste bud from the all-around blissful, sensory experience you have from each bite.
The Key Lime pie with the whipped cream, was that amazing mix of sweet, tart, smooth and creamy accompanied by the buttery graham cracker crunchy crust. And the Cheddar & Chive Buttermilk Biscuit had the perfectly salted, cheese baked & flaky exterior, with the oh so buttery, soft & pillowy interior. And I hadn’t even requested it warmed up! I can only imagine how elevated it’d become then.

Must visit this small bakery shop! Unfortunately only opened a few days a week but worth the wait! Located in the small town of Tannersville location is perfect. Get some coffee and goods while exploring this quaint town or have a seat in the backyard while enjoying the scenery. Owner is pleasant to talk to; very sweet and loves what he does.
Word of advice try coming early as the lines tend to get long..fast. That’s how good it is! But they move quickly. For large orders owner might make accommodations. I did order in advance, of course a bit of everything he had made (every week is something surprising, different and delicious). I follow his instagram account in where I’m able to see the week’s menu.
My recommendations: Key lime pie tastes so fresh! But my favorite was the German chocolate cake! It tasted just right not too sweet that it overpowered the chocolate or coconut. Also you can taste the freshness in each item. Love love ! Highly recommend !!

If you’re in Tannersville, Shandaken Bake is a must-visit. Craig’s dedication and passion for baking shine through in every bite.
The care and attention to detail in each pastry, especially the delicious Chubby Squirrel, made for a truly special experience. We couldn’t wait to get home to try it—it was exceptional.
And the key lime pie. It’s truly a work of art ⭐️.
Thank you for the wonderful memories and warm hospitality; we look forward to returning!

We recently visited Tannersville, New York. We had asked our Airbnb hosts to send us a recommendation for a bakery, for a cake for my son’s birthday, and I am So happy they recommended Shandaken Bake! The cake was delicious and super cute too. We knew this was a place we had to come back to – we wanted to try all the baked goods we could. We went two other days in a row, and started off the morning with the most perfect biscuits. Both were excellent, but the Cheddar + Chive Biscuit was extra special. We ended up taking other things home with us both days, and everything was fantastic – the Chocolate Chunk Cookie, the Blueberry Buckle, the Chubby Squirrel, the Chocolate Banana Bread and the Banana Cake. We can’t wait for our next visit to the area because we know there are other goodies that we still need to try. Besides the taste, quality, and presentation of the baked goods themselves, the bakery is perfectly set-up for sitting and eating or picking up. It is a very well thought out space, impeccably designed not only for functionally for food preparation and customer service, but it is also a beautiful space. You have to see for yourself. The owner also couldn’t be nicer. We really enjoyed talking to him, and we appreciate his obvious passion for what he does. Go visit Craig at Shandaken and experience a culinary delight, or two – you won’t be disappointed!
