Reviews for Ferrara Bakery & Cafe in New York, NY
As far as the gelato goes, it's okay. But they have quite the array of pastries to choose from. I wish I wasn't so full I'd try... more than just the gelato. The cherry flavor (the white/purple one) was delicious. But I'd stay clear of the mango one. Don'tknow if it's because it has been sitting out longer than the other flavors, or maybe there is an obvious consistency issue dueto the mango's properties that make it this way; but the mango flavor felt dry, if that makes sense. Kinda like that lastquarter pint of ice cream in your freezer when it gets frosted over. Read more
Very delicous!????????. For the first time in the three years that I live in the USA, I ate real Tiramisu at Ferrara Bakery &... Cafe. I tried this dessert in dozens of restaurants and cafes, and only here I was able to find a delicious, not sugary, soft,non-spreading Tiramisu with a pronounced taste and smell of coffee and coffee liqueur. In addition to Tiramisu, my sister and Ibought a few more cakes. Everything is very delicious. Of the 5 selected desserts, I like Tiramisu and Lobster Tail the most. Lobster tail is amazing. When I ate it, I felt a combination of crispy puff pastry and inside it a delicate, gourmet cream thattasted like custard with cream. It's an indescribable feeling. The cafe is cozy, the staff is on top - they are attentive to theguests, they work smoothly and quickly. The toilet is clean. Next month I will be back in New York and the first thing I will goto this cafe is for a cup of tea with delicious cakes. Thanks a lot to the owner of Ferrara Bakery & Cafe, for his respect forpeople. Read more
I am a dessert lover. I love to try different desserts and bakeries. I was passing by and wanted have a good quality dessert in... the city. I picked this place because it had almost 5K on average of 4.4 reviews. But, I figured even that much review could bemisleading. I had a napoleon and a vanilla cake. Both turned out very disappointing. White Vanilla cake was fresh but had verylow quality; the cake was heavy and crumby. Napoleon was not fresh, and it probably waited at least one day in the fridge.Otherwise, the cream they used inside wouldn?t have been dry out. I also had a chance to taste two complementary cookies aftercomplaining about the Napoleon, but the cookies weren?t good at all. I had way better stuff from less famous places. I think aplace like this famous and old should have better quality. Whoever says this place has delicious desserts haven?t tried a gooddessert yet. Read more
Got a cup of pistachios gelato. Little pricey. Taste dense and nutty as well as thick, not too sweet which is good to me. But... after a few spoons of it just feel too rich and couldn?t take in anymore. Located in little Italy area, people get in line forthis bakery. Read more
We got the lobster tail pastry out of curiosity. The price is higher eating in the cafe when compared to getting it to go but it... is fully worth it to sit down and enjoy it then and there. The lobster tail itself is gorgeous and full of powdery sugar andoozing with delicate creme (again very messy if you're planning on eating it to go). Spectacular dessert if you enjoy somethingthat is not sickeningly sweet. Read more
Delicious food! Once you have your first bite, you'll be tempted to order more. The confections in this bakery are heavenly! The... beverages on their menu are delicious as well. I ordered tea with lemon sorbet in it. It was served sort of like a float butwith tea instead of soda, and sorbet instead of ice cream. It was SO refreshing on the palette and complimented the cake well.Staff was friendly and service was fast. Great place! Read more
A nice bakery and Cafe. Lots to look at, so many treat to choose from. The staff was friendly. The pastry was fresh and tasted... delicious. The one downfall and the reason for a missing star is that there were no prices listed anywhere and I was shockedwhen I got to the cash counter and was charged over $23 for three chocolate cannoli.

Historical Italian bakery (since 1892) with tons of pastries (both Italian and some french) and decent gelato. They have a sit... down option as well, where the pastries and gelato are presented in Instagrammable fashion. They also sell alcoholic beveragesincluding liqueurs and prepacked pastries. I had the gelato (decent but pricey $8) and torrone (very good for a $1). They haveabout 15 flavors (4 vegan sorbets). They do not allow sampling but most flavors are standard. The texture was smooth but was notin the form of scoops (like chunks instead). The taste and flavor was good (had the chocolate and blackberry). Read more
