Campbell’s Bakery

We got two cakes from here for two different events, and although they tasted fine, the experience negatively outweighed the taste of the cake.
The cake we were supposed to pick up at 3pm (confirmed in person and on the phone) was not ready until past 4pm. The bakery also lost the image that we needed on the cake. Worst of all, they were not sympathetic or helpful at all.
Most definitely do not recommend going this way if you need cake for a special event. I’m sure it would be fine to just swing by for some casual treats.

Campbell’s Bakery is a neighborhood landmark located near the corner of Suffolk Avenue and Brentwood Road, in Brentwood, NY. Campbell’s is widely known for their superior tasting, excellently decorated baked goods, ranging from Tres Leches Cakes, to their pies, breads, pastries, cookies, and seasonal specialties.
Campbell’s decorating skills, and uniquely presented cakes, easily rival the «Cake Boss» of TV fame. Everything is always fresh and tasty here. I have never been disappointed!
Because of its popularity, the lines on the weekends can be daunting, but certainly worth the wait. And it is nowhere near the wait times at the airpotrs these days.
Once you have sampled Campbell’s Bakery, you will agree that it is the best of the best.
I’ve been a fan for nearly thirty years, and Campbell’s just keeps getting better and better.
Be certain to go out of your way and sample real baking at its finest.

Best 3 Leches Cake of Long Island! I had taste many cakes from diferent Bakeries, but Hands Down this is the Best One!

This bakery is one of the best bakeries on Long Island. A lot of people talked about this bakery but I had to experience it for myself. I have never went to a bakery and the line was hanging out the door. I’m wondering if they are that good. Yes I did taste the strawberry cheesecake and their tres leche. It was super delicious. Now I see what everyone is raving about. Everyone should try it.

Rude, clueless and unprofessional. I called to place an order, spoke to 3 different people who you’d never know worked for a bakery. Then the girl I spoke to goes to order not what I asked for even tho she repeated back what I had sent her. When I called back to confirm (keep in mind I was still beyond nice even after all their confusion) as they tell me to hold on I can hear them talking about me! The one girl says its that girl with the «cake pop order» and you hear «ohhhh my god really, uh ok» I’m sorry am I bothering you??? You don’t mind if I check to make sure my order is correct do you? Then I get told the manager will call me to finalize everything. Guess what — NEVER heard back! I took my business elsewhere. SCARY to think this place does the rivieras cakes for weddings and desserts. I would never trust them. Beyond rude and unprofessional.

Folks are always excited when I bring treats from Campbell Bakery. They have a great range of sweets like cookies and cupcakes and their tres leches cakes are legendary. I would give them 5 stars but today’s visit was awkward. The young ladies at the counter are always helpful and friendly, so it was uncomfortable to hear the owner screaming at the them while we were in the front. He said something like, ‘I’m paying 3 people and getting the work of 2!!!’
We know the sweets are consistently good and let’s hoping that screaming is very rare.

Once again they came through with the famous Tres Leches Cake for my Birthday !
Delish,

This was the vendor the place I got married used for the cake, at the time I thought I wouldn’t care enough to pay extra and go someplace else but I wish I did
Cake was dry and terrible– I knew it would be as we didn’t even eat what they gave us for tasting
Hoping it would look pretty but it didn’t and it came with the wrong colors

We had used Campbell’s bakery for our wedding and this is the only vendor with which we have had a less and pleasant experience. We got married at Château La Mer which contracts out to Campbell’s and another bakery. Our advice, chose the other bakery. Initially we were excited to go to Campbell’s because of the good reviews. We have made an appointment with them some weeks prior to the wedding and were happy to arrive to do the tasting and select a cake. Their staff was really friendly and sweet. They had two catalogues and they explained that some cakes were included in our package and some cakes required an additional fee as they were an upgrade. The additional fee was indicated on each page of the catalog as pictured.
We were adamant about selecting a cake that did not have an extra fee associated with it. We picked the one on the left (ID#: AK-​340) which did not have an extra fee. Once we made the selection and began filling out the paperwork the owner stated that in order to have the same flowers that are pictured on the cake we must add a $ 75 fee. I explained that this cake did not have a tag indicating that there were additional fees associated with it and it was in a booklet with the few cakes that were included with our package. The owner, Greg, stated that the cake is included and that the flowers are not and that Château La mer should have informed us that most cakes require additional fees. Furthermore we were treated to a shouting match where we were told that the owner works 90 hour weeks and does not work for free. As a special courtesy he said he would reduce the price to $ 45. This is when I had called Château La Mer and they were gracious at handling and resolving the matter from that point on. We did get the cake that we chose on our wedding and it tasted wonderful. I just wish that we could have arrived at this point without being treated rudely by the owner.

It’s a neighborhood staple for Brentwood folk like myself. I HAVE seen people drive from all over the island after their Tres Leches cake, and I certainly have city friends who appreciate me bringing over a slice when I visit them in the city.
Mom and pop, intimate, and affordable. The fresh cannoli are so good. The cookies too. Stop in!

Used for my wedding. One word delicious!
They made the process easy and quick. Barely needed to think about it! They took care of everything! We could barely decide on a flavor after tasting cause it was all so delicious!
We decided on red velvet, a personal favorite. I’m very picky about my red velvet as it is very easy for a bakery to make it dry; boy was I wrong, it was so moist and delicious even the left overs the next day.
The cake was beautiful. My only suggestion is to bring a color sample for them as I did not and the color was what we spoke about though a different shade than I pictured because I never specified. That was totally on me but no one noticed but me and It was a gorgeous cake!

Finally a good bakery in this town. Usually the bakeries are these Salvadorian bakeries where all of the pastries are dry and just different shapes and colors of the exact same thing. This place is different. AMAZING. The cannolis are dangerously good.
The only thing sweeter than the pastries are the charming ladies that work there. This one with the blue/​black hair– dayuuuuum. Keep her away from the ice cream cake. She can melt all that stuff!

Completely love this bakery, everything taste delicious!
Everyone should go and buy their cakes, pastries, pies & danishes there

I decided to order a tres leeches cake for my baby’s first birthday since they had soooo many good reviews! I am originally from Mexico so I know tres leches extremely well!
I called on the pick up date to verify my order and the woman on the phone was EXTREMELY rude! She said ugh I am with another client wait until I check! Then, I waited and waited while I heard her getting a personal call on her cellphone from her aunt! She was gossiping and left me on hold! I hung up and called again and the next person was actually nice!
The cake looked awesome but tasted ok. It has a lot of cream filling but it does not taste like tres leches at all! They do a very good job at decorating the cakes but I was not impressed at all with the flavor.
Also, they only accept cash!

This is the stop for all my bakery needs. I have only ordered cakes through Campbells bakery. The tres leche cake is on point. Sometimes i stop by to buy a slice for my husband and i of tres leche cake and its amazing. The staff are very friendly. Ive had my quincenera cake done here 10 years ago and my sisters quincenera done here also. The only down fall its cash only

Totally not worth it. My daughter ordered a cake here for her wedding and paid good money expecting to have a great cake. The wedding cake was one of the worst that I’ve ever had and I have had some bad ones over the years. It was dry and tasted like nothing. When your daughter is having a wedding you expect the best especially when your shelling hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a cake.
Also, the customer service was HORRIBLE. When we went in there to order the cake we actually found ourselves apologizing for asking for something. It was like my daughter was bothering them by asking questions about the wedding cakes.
Save you money, I’ve had cake from BJ’s that tastes better and at least I don’t have to deal with attitudes from customer service..

Have been in Long Island for years and this year I decided to give this bakery a try. To words. «Ooh. My». Cakes are so awesome. I’m a baker that is why I don’t frequent bakeries because I make my own. Since I have been dieting there is no cake baking in my house and this is my alternate. Tres leche cake is moist but not super moist and it has a cannoli cream on the inside. Walking In this bakery I gained all my weight back. The almond cheese Danish are heavenly.
This place is a hidden gem in brentwood. It’s a must try.

Tres leches cake is always on point! Every time I go even when it’s not a holiday weekend it’s busy. Have to try the dulce de leche and the Dominican cake as well but the tres leches is that good that I always get it. Also ordered for holidays and they do an excellent job decorating.

5 stars just because of their Tres Leches cake! Couldn’t wait to try it and it did not disappoint! My students got it for me so I cannot comment about the place itself or the staff, but if you have a hankering for some tres leches cake… look no further!

Three words. Tres leches cake.
Had it here for the first time, never had a better one from anywhere else.

I was told to come here for some Tres Leches cake and I ordered one. Well my wife ordered me one from this place for my Birthday. I had this cake at a party and always remembered how good the cake was. It is a creamy, milky, sponge cake, with filling, your choice of fruit if you desire. So I wanted it for my birthday.
I loved the cake and so did my mom. I do not know if everyone else liked it but I got the cake I wanted for my Birthday and I enjoyed it ALOT.
The bakery did not look to bad. They do have your typical items.
1. Assorted breads
2. Pastries
3. Turnovers
4. CAKES!!!
5. Some Spanish items I do not know, but looked really good.
I gave this place a 4 just for one cake and I guess I will go back to for other items in the future.
