Delicious, delicious pastries and cake at very reasonable price. The ladies at the counter are the nicest I’ve ever met.
Cozonac cake 10/10 would buy again. Freshly baked. My house smelled delicious the day we brought it.
The hungarian Dobos cake is the best one I have ever had. Staff is very friendly. It is best to go there during the week. Sunday the store is open but the bakery is not and the pies are not fresh.
The best cakes, cookies and pastries are only here at Nitas Bakery. I love the Amandinas cakes!!
Very kind staff to help a new guy out. I asked what everything was and they were happy to oblige. Cheap coffee, great authentic baked goods.
Delicious Strudel and Vanilla Tart (not sure about the real name). Many options and reasonable prices. Definitely worth checking this place if you are in the area.
What a wonderful local, family run bakery with delicious deserts. I always stop by when I am in the area.
Love this bakery....One of the best in the neighborhood.....friendly staff best rainbow cookies and great fruit tarts.......great prices on everything
ITS THE BEST BAKERY IN QUEENS IF YOU LIKE ROUMANIAN DESERTS GOOD EASTER COOKINGS
My friend and I frequently visit Nitas European Bakery on the weekends and the pastries and other items are well prepared. The pastries are not excessively sweet which can overpower your palate. I went back to try their Greek spinach pie, and it was exactly the way its made in Greece - crispy with a generous amount of spinach. Most importantly, the prices are very reasonable and everything is fresh.
A must stop for me when I am in New York, great Romanian cakes
They have really good stuff, very yammy. Its just not much glamorous place but cleen, they need to invest to remodel a bit, plus not that close to subway.Theres always people in this place, that fact tells you something - they have really good stuff.Parking is difficult around here.
Nita’s Bakery is authentic! A must try if you’re ever in Sunnyside. I visit this place regularly, and I am never disappointed when I try something new. Their pastries are always fresh, and the staff is kind and friendly.
Its a must try.their products are not overly sweetened which is always a good indication they dont need to hide a lack of taste. the taste is there for you to enjoy the experience.
What an amazing place to get good quality cookies or cake. They got fantastic creamschnite, it made me cry how good it is. Remind me like Im in Samobor during the carnival. Lady that works inside is always helpful and in good mood. My neighbors!!
Nita’s Bakery is my favorite. Affordable and delicious sweets, pastries. My go to for Colima and colaci. The ladies are always so nice and welcoming and even took my order Friday for a Saturday morning. I highly recommend it!Mulțumim pentru ca ne faceți sa ne simțim ca acasă, gustând din bunătățile de la cofetărie!
Great quality baked goods, staff is wonderful!
Brought my sons birthday cake from here. Not only was it beautiful it tasted amazing. Cheese Danish was pretty spectacular too.
The first time I walked into this place was in 2003. It was terrific back then and I’m happy to report it’s only gotten better. It reminds me of bakeries in old Montreal; reminds me of bakeries in Eastern Europe: Hungary, Poland, Vienna. Everyday I walk my dog and it requires so much will power to not drop in everyday and get pastries, and yet—I go at least three times a week, buying: croissants, cheese danish, apple square, poppy square, opera cake, rugelach, and a box of cookies. I would give this place ten stars.
Great bakery - everything is delicious! I can only imagine how difficult it must be for the staff to have to remind customers to wear a mask. It is highly appreciated when everybody, customers and employees follow the mask rule.
Nita’s never disappoints. I rushed in to order a last-minute cake for a next-day 30-person party and not only did they quickly help me out, everyone at the party (or at least the 1/3 that approached me) was asking me for the name of the amazing bakery that produced the cake. Great customer service, delicious products and I’m going to have to agree with one of the other reviewers, probably one of the best NYC bakeries.
Amazing bakery with a large assortment of cookies, cakes and pastries. Of course there is an equally impressive amount of delicious Romanian treats available. I found the prices to be extremely reasonable, and the folks working the counter were extremely warm and inviting.Custom and fresh daily cakes are also available. Try the Romanian Dobos & Amandine- DELICIOUS!
Best bakery ever, so happy I’ve found it ❤️ Tasty, fresh, not too sweet. I’m starting to get addicted to this place ❤️
Excellent cakes and cookies, highly recommended
A neighborhood and community classic. My favorites: pateuri cu ciuperci.
Great pastry selection, probably the best if you, like me, have sweet tooth... BUT the staff is the worst with customers; usually in a bakery you expect very friendly staff... I asked what some things were and they were very rude and seem bother by my asking... I tried to break the ice by smiling and asking the cuisine ethnicity and apologizing for not knowing pastries names; it didn’t work!... therefore the 4 stars!! Advice for management: get your people some customer care training!
You walk in and its immediately the best smelling bakery in the city. The staff are nice and theres tons of pastries and bread to choose from. Worth a trip
Very rude . I’ve been a long time customer , yet, I will tell all my friends and family in sunnyside to not go there. Unless you are Western European the service they offer is terrible. Honestly good pastries but repugnant, miserable, and terrible people.
Ive been going here for years, the pastries are amazing!! They even did two gender revealing cakes for my twins and they came out perfect!!! The owner really puts her heart and soul into the food and the service, thanks Carla!!
One of the best bakeries in NYC. Absulte great tasting pastries, cookies, cakes and more. Everything can be ordered, or bought directly at the bakery. Very friendly staff. They also have 2-3 tabkes and chairs to enjoy a short cafe brake. Love it!
Love this bakery, they have that you h of home made. Large variety of cookies and pastries. Amazing during the holidays, they always have pies, tarts, themed cakes you name it. Reasonably priced and decorated nicely. Packaged neatly in boxes.
I love this Sunnyside gem! Amazing sweet breads, & cookies. Smells heavenly inside too :)
Heaven!!! Cakes, cookies, cozonac (the Romanian version of brioche or panettone) freshly made with the delicious taste of just how my mother used to make them. Been going there for years and always their pastries, cookies and cakes are exceptional. Highly recommended!
I was served dry, probably day-old pastries, while other Romanian native customers were served the freshly made baked goods. It seemed to me the bakery discriminates against Americans. The reason Im sharing this, is because I speak Romanian, and while I was waiting in line, I heard the conversations between the cashiers and the Romanian customers in front of me. The cashiers would hand the bags of pastries to the Romanian customers assuring them that they were receiving hot and straight from the oven goods. The service I received was horrendous as well. All in all, this bakery has offered me disappointing products and service. What made my experience disgusting was that I got to experience their deliberate and intentional deceiving practices against English speaking people, such as myself. Shame on you and your staff - have you forgotten that you came in this country as immigrants, and that this country and the American customers have helped you realize your dreams when your own native country mistreated you? English speaking customers: please save yourselves the aggravation of dealing with such a horrible establishment, because their pastries are not that great either.
I did order4 day before Dec 24. They told me to please come 10 o clock. When I was arrived I see the huge line front of the store. Why I was order if I have to wait 1 hour’s to pick up my orders and pay !!!! This is take only 2 minute!!! This is Unprofessional and on organizer they should have to do to line who’s going to the store and buying the stuff and the other line who’s order already and they have to just pay !!!!If they are very busy ....!!!!!why they are not do this this . And I have to pay Only Chase!!!!
One of the best ethnic bakeries in Queens. I make sure to stop by each time when they are on my way to Brooklyn for freshly bakes spinach pie which is to die for, and an apple strudel. Service is great, and responsive. You can observe the entire baking process as the kitchen is open to all customers.
Fantastic bakery,the one place that I have to travel to 2 hours for a wonderful pice of cake.I buy about 20 pieces at the time so I can share w family and neighbors.Real good ingredients and the cookies are made w great ingredients not veget able shortening that sticks to the roof of your mouth...Thank you for bringing me back the the only good part of my childhood in Romania.If you are a born American please try it and taste what luxurious ingredients taste like but please leave behind the awful supermarket cake taste that you have been conditoned to.
I love coming here, their desserts are absolutely amazing (they taste the exact way as they do in the best dessert shops in Romania) and the ladies behind the counter are always so friendly and easy to chat with!
DO NOT BUY CAKES FROM HERE.As of Dec, 2020 the quality have gone down a lot. The cakes are old and too sweet that it hurts your head. I hope it doesnt make me sick because the cakes are so old.
Excellent. Its very affordable, I cant get a hot coffee and crispy croissant anywhere else for $2.25. I find the staff friendly too- lots of selection and you can smell the baking way off from the shop.
Fresh everything but getting too expensive.
This little bakery is a gem! The ladies behind the counter were so kind and helpful. If you’re in Sunnyside, be sure to pay them a visit. You won’t be disappointed.
For those looking to reexperience traditional Romanian pastries and cakes this is as close as it gets. I think the type of sugar they use makes the difference. In the US most sugar is derived from corn whereas that in Romania is derived from beets. So this alters the taste somewhat.
East European bakery. Not bad. Good products and quite affordable. Staff is nice too. Pay them a visit
Delicious cake, lovely people, and great prices! Thank you for making my graduation day sweeter :)
I just LOVE their products. The cozonac (Romanian pannetone style sweet bread) is very good. The patées (cheese, mushroom and meat puffs) are my kids favorite. I personally like the Amandine, the Diplomat and the Savarine.The kremschnit (Napoleon pastry) is delicious also.
The BEST Romanian bakery in NYC! Great assortment of delicious cakes, cookies and pastries at reasonable prices! Highly recommended!
Excellent bakery for all your cake and cookie needs!Not like mom used to make...its better at Nitas!If youre having friends over for dinner, you cant go wrong with one of the cakes that Nita offers. They are all delicious and will leave you wanting a second slice! Im a chocolate lover and have a hard time deciding between the Dantela and the Joffre. For a lighter cake, try the Mango Mousse. Thy are all amazing cakes.If you are looking for a traditional bakery that knows what they are doing, look no further than Nitas European Bakery.
Good place too buy fresh stuff
Delicious Romanian cakes and cookies. However stuff arent friendly as expected in such a sweet place. Make sure you have cash, they dont accept credit cards.
The Best Bakery ! Indulge lavishly, your life deserves Nitas Bakery.
Their cookies arent amazing, but the cakes are rich and gorgeous to look at. Plus, everything in here comes at highly reasonable prices. $16 Black Forest cake? Heck yeah!
Wonderful, original Romanian cakes and pastries recipes, always extremely fresh, reasonable price, birthdays cakes or different occasions, 2-3 coffee tables inside for a quick sweet tooth stop
Really good Romanian pastries. Most pastries are made with rum, so if you dont like rum in your pastries, then this is not for you.
Delicious cookies/baked goods. They will make custom cakes for you at decent prices. Service can sometimes be an issue.
That is not too many Romanian bakeries in Queens so this is one of the best which I love to go and indulge on my memories from home because there will always prepare the home made bakes they have a nice variety of fun homemade panettone and many more sweets , you can have a nice coffee and start sampling some of their stuff as you make up your mind if you going to order a cake or panettone and they make amazing miniatures of pastries and pies.
I come here often and i have no regrets. Even i am from Brooklyn. The sellers are focused and give you all infos u need about their products. I am Hungarian so these tastes are not far from me.. ;-)
The best pastries and confections in New York. Old world style. Not for the diet conscious 😉
My favourite bakery in the whole of NYC. Best Pateuri cu ciuperci and their Richard and Opera cakes are so so good.
No one in the area makes better cakes and cookies, especially the Romanian kinds. Our favorites: mini pateuri, tort de amandina, savarine.
Authentic Romanian Bakery! Been shopping here since 1980. Delicious prăjituri (cookies ), meat,fruit,cheese pies, cozonac (panetone).
Love you guys! ☺ 🙏 ❤
My favorite Bakery in NYC since 2008. Always great service with delicious cake and Bakery items.
This bakery is very good, very clean and they have very fresh and very delicious products. Love them.
I was visiting from Romania and I have to say, it beats most local bakeries. If you want a delightful treat, this is your place!
The most delicious croissant one could have, staff are friendly, but gotta go there early to get fresh stuff
Best Romanian desserts, Dantela and Savarina is to die for my favorite, but not to neglect other cakes from their selection
Just did a walk in to see what they had. My eyes went right to the apple strudel . OMG 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 heaven wrapped in filo dough . Nita dont stop making them
This a must for each visit I do in Queens. I love their cookies and pastries.
Better dobos torta than usual. Seems like a nice neighborhood place. Good service. Sounds like they speak Romanian if you like, but also English.
Everything is always fresh here. Ive been going to this place for decades and quality has stayed a constant. The staff is always friendly and willing to go out of their way to serve.
Awesome bakery, prices are cheap and the rainbow cookies (a personal favorite) are some of the best Ive had in NY.
Great selection of sweets and very reasonable prices.
Delicious fresh european cakes and pastries! Great service! A special place not a regular bakery.
Exquisite romanian bakery; no additives in their pastries and cakes. Good prices and very large assortment of cakes.
Worst customer service ever.We are on 2021 they don’t except credit card or any other payment method.
Very good service! It makes a difference when the staff are so helpful and friendly.
Spinach pie at 8 am each morning, the best. All fresh baked goods are amazing.

2022-01-23Quaint little Romanian bakery. Easy walk from the 7 train. Lots to try. Id suggest stopping by if youre in the area and in the mood for a pastry.
Review №2
2022-02-12The poppy cake wasnt too sweet and had a nice spice note. I intend to come back and try some other pasteries on display should I find the chance to pass by.Its still cash only.
Review №3
2020-08-31Got a birthday cake (Doboș) as well as cremșnit and amandine and pateuri cu brânză from this bakery, and it brought the taste of home to my house! Delicious food! And they were very accommodating and helpful in getting it to my apartment!
Review №4
2021-01-25This is a lovely bakery with affordable prices. The ladies behind the counter are really nice and kind. This place is cash only and the assortment of pastries is huge. I got two big squares of pecan pie plus a dantela cake for 6$ to celebrate my dads birthday. Delicious. Even their packaging is cute.
Review №5
2022-03-05The staff here are very friendly. They were eager to ask me what I wanted to order and I didnt know. Everything they have looks fantastic, but I eventually decided on the chocolate mousse. They do only take cash, which is a mild inconvenience but something to keep in mind.

2022-01-27This place was good. I wanted to love this place. Who doesnt want to have another bakery to go too.I went in ordered a cake asked how much she said 25. I said ok then she said 35. What? Why more? Didnt understand but took it anyway.I had to order cookies cause they looked good. One that stood out was chocolate dipped sandwich cookies they were great. The others were ok.The cake was good. But I go to some really good italian bakeries that charge less for a cake that size and tastes better.But if you live in the area hey its not bad. Youll probably enjoy it!!
Review №7
2021-12-24I grew up with this bakery. As a Romanian living in the neighborhood it really means a lot that they’ve been up and running for so many years and have not changed their exquisite recipes. I hope they never close, this is a place that extends through generations. The staff is wonderful and all the baked goods are just amazing. There is always a line going out the door down the block the day before Christmas- all Romanians waiting to buy their Cozonaci! :D
Review №8
2022-01-11Best party and special occasion chocolate cakes, chocolate cherry bonbons, and an amazing assortment of small (one portion) european cakes. My go-to bakery when its time for a special treat.
Review №9
2019-12-07This place has awesome “cozonac” (aka Romanian babka), “savarine” and “amandine”. The ladies at the counter are very friendly too.
Review №10
2021-11-17If you are going there to check out what they have, make sure you give yourself enough time.There are many delicious baked goods here, including cakes, cookies, and chocolate covered strawberries. These items, however, are not labelled with names but with numbers Because of this, you will need to ask the staff there what each item is but the staff is very patient and explained each item I asked about. Good quality baked items overall for a good price.I am not sure why but they happen to have menus of other nearby businesses on display (I picked up a restaurant menu here).
