Stumbled on Reisterer’s by chance. Passing by, was intrigued by the extra-wide storefront.
Are they really there, or is is this just space grab?
Turned out, this place has 94 years’ historical import. And, it shows in the a affinal interactions we saw with every patron (of course excluding us).
Their assortment and quantity of off-shelf dairy/dairy-free cookies is mind boggling. Surely must be selling all of it (that’s where 94 years’ muscle memory whacks new age data modeling!).
And that’s the lesser part of expansive display. Cakes – for all occasions, and no occasion – appear to be the mainstay. Fair selection of celebratory stationary complements the stuff behind glass displays running from end-to-end.
Coffee dispensers (hot and iced) are just there. More for those desperate to get a caffeine fix, than as a competing revenue stream.
Seating for 25, including on the counter, also appeared to be just there; reflecting changes in consumer preference.
‘Nostalgia Wall’, with photos from each decade, stood out as a beacon of history and tradition. How we wish they made it more of a cynosure (hardly any additions in last 7-8 years) with proper framing, protecting from the onset of weathering.
To us, store fixtures and floor looked like on the verge of obsolescence. Time for a reboot. That is, with renovation finances and stringent requirements of Kashrus certification permitting.

Outstanding local bakery. They make the best carrot cake. Also recommend their Napoleon cake & donuts. Seasonal cheesecakes are also fantastic, usually made to order.

These cookies we received as a gift were very underwhelming. Can’t speak to other pastries or atmosphere as we were just given these cookies for whatever reason. Wouldn’t travel there to investigate any further. They look like they would taste good but they lack any flavor. Very boring.

The cakes are horrible and have freezer burn and ice flakes in the middle. I spoke to a manager and she was very accommodating and offered a new cake but it is still frozen

Best. Cake. Ever!! I came to Reisterer’s bakery a week ago because I wanted a really special custom cake for one of my closest friends. I decided to come here because I saw some of their custom cakes, and I felt like they could really capture my vision for the cake.
I visited the store in person to see if I could talk about the cake with someone. I met Dalia, an incredible employee who guided me through the whole emailing process on the cake. I sent them inspiration photos, and I included details about the flavor of the cake along with text I wanted to get on the cake. To say the least, my expectations were blown through the roof!! The communication was incredible, they frequently kept in touch and gave me updates on the cake, and informed me on anything I needed to send them to help. (Such as photos) They were so patient with me, and I ended up getting the cake a few minutes before closing time because I was busy with work, but they were so patient and understanding. I truly appreciated that. The cake was so beautiful and tasty, too! I think anyone who lives in LI, or even in NYC should give these guys a try someday. It’s worth it. I will be coming back very soon.

We had a simple nutritious lunch of soup and a roll, followed by dessert. The wraps are generous and delicious. The coffee is very good too. I often buy cookies or parve cakes for Shabbat.

Came here for the first time. Picked up a variety of pastries to taste and tryout, to see if they would be a good fit for my families thanksgiving day pie.
Their pastries are absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.
