Been to many cake and pastry stores/shops and this one has been most superior to all of the ones I’ve been to. Been going here for years now. Even there quiches are right on spot! Mauricio and Patty and there staff, thank you for always putting a smile on my face and satisfying my taste buds. Job well done.

A special bakery in a mini-strip mall in Scarsdale. Come here for the world-renowned«Sarah Bernhardt cookies» — a mix of coconut or marzipan and chocolate fudge-like cake(?) then dipped in liquid chocolate and hardened. The«by-the-pound» cookies were yummy as well; I ordered a small sample of the raspberry thumbprint. The challah could have used a bit of work; it wasn’t particularly fresh, nor particularly eggy the way I usually like it. Not a real connoisseur, though, so I’ll leave it to others to sample. The chocolate croissant(though probably should be renamed pain au chocolat as it didn’t seem like a real croissant) was appropriately layered, with nice chocolate filling inside and moderately flaky layers of dough on the outside. I’d like to revisit this place ad infinitum and keep trying new things. Wow. Wow.

The black and white cookies are totally tasteless of vanilla or chocolate flavor. They just taste sweet, and not a tasty sweet at that! I believe it was not fresh cookies. The lace cookies tasted OK and fresh, however, there were red small sweet chewy pieces in them that I’ve never seen in a cookie before and we’re not tasty. They got stuck in my teeth! The marble cake is a coffee cake style, which was so dry that we could not even swallow it.

This is such a great bakery. I love to visit every couple of weeks for pastries. The cookies are amazing, but generally out of my price range.

I’ve definitely been to better bakeries(especially at this price point) but there’s just something about this place — or maybe I just really like the things that I *do* like, which are the marzipan rainbow cookies and the almond/coconut macaroons. Other things I’ve had(cookies, babka, chocolate cake) were too sweet or one-dimensional. I don’t think they could compete with many of the bakeries in Manhattan for taste, but all the same I still like coming in for those select items. And sometimes I even like coming in once a week for them. :)

Scarsdale Pastry carries an amazing Danish confection called a «Sarah Bernhardt». This treat became associated with the Danish bakery Jespersen’s in Scarsdale decades ago, and luckily Scarsdale Pastry continued this Scarsdale tradition when Jespersen’s closed.(The Danes named the cookie in honor of the famed actress’s visit to Denmark.) It’s a small light macaroon dipped in dark chocolate with a ganache chocolate center. To die for!(just a word of caution — I believe Sarah Bernhardts might be seasonal, so check before you go.)

This is the ultimate bakery. Period. If this were in England, the Queen would provide this place with her Royal Seal of Approval. The style is Austrian, sublimely consistent. And with a tremendous variety of options, one will never, ever run out of tasty treats to try. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, this is probably not the place for you. If you appreciate how chocolate, pastry, fruit, and sugar can be combined in a thousand ways, this is your place of pilgrimage. Best choices: challah, breads, chocolate apple meltaway, marzipan(only place to find this kind), leaf cookies, and the Ultimate Cake: fudge cake with ganache icing. This cake must be 1000g of sugar per sq in. Their fruit pies are also beyond excellent. And they are the *only* purveyor of almond macaroons during Passover. The only drawbacks are the rising cost of sugar and your waistline :)
