A fantastic, aromatic bakery. Open as early as 6am. Perfect for a quick cup of coffee and hot bread. They have delicious pastries, bread and cookies. My wife is partial to the glazed rolls and cannolis. Fresh french baguettes and Italian bread. Hearty Pumpernickel with or without raisins. If your in the area, highly recommend to stop by and pick up a pie.
The most inconsistant bakery in the past few months, different prices when i go in their alot of times as i was just in their today telling them that i was charged a lower price days ago and the clerk was extremely rude and should have honored that price as i have been a long time customer ( over 20 years ) Their prices have skyrocketed since theyve changed hands. The girls behind the counter are generally nice but the older woman with the short dark hair is one of the rudest people ive ever came across, shes the one that i almost got into an argument with. They lost me as long time customer. While i was there waiting to place an order, i overheard her speaking to a customer and when she hung up with the customer she was saying things under her breath that didnt seem very nice. Goodbye Stanly or who ever the new owner is, I recommend Pats Market down the road, prices and quality are better as well as attitudes or if your willing to take the drive, A & G Bakery in North Babylon, They are and have always been a great bakery, its worth the drive! Unfortunately i am unable to respond to your response so i will do it here. The price that i had told the rude clerk i was charged should have been honered but instead she decided to act the way she did. I was a 20 year plus customer of ur bakery. It wasnt the money which was about $1.50 additional, obviously which i paid, its the rudeness i will not put up with and being told to have a happy new year in a condescending way was not the way to handle it as i was walking out the door!...Let me also say that after my wife was informed of what happened, she will no longer be stopping by on Fridays to drop about 20 to 30 bucks to pick up donuts and rolls for our office!. As a business owners let me assure you, that older woman who works their, whether she is an owner or an employee, she is definitely not an asset to your business, thats not the way to treat loyal customers. Good luck to you.
Been enjoying Stanleys since 1964. The rolls did get smaller over the years but the quality didnt change. Wish they had social distance. The set up is everybody on top of you and no line. Same way as back then . the register area is cramped and 3 people are on top of you paying at the same register. Dont go on Sunday. Due to crowds. But delicious baked goods
Usually a great bakery, but they recently pulled a fast one and gave my senior Dad a burnt cherry crumb pie. He was embarrassed when he brought it to a lunch he was invited to. When I convinced him to bring it back, they exchanged it for him, but no apologies. Very disappointed.
Ive always loved the jelly donuts ,and have always recommended them to family and friends as the best anywhere. However theyve changed the recipe big time including the jelly.If you want a better one shoprite is now your best bet. The rest of their cakes and pastries as far as I can tell remain the same. Perhaps they changed bakers?
This bakery came through for my family when everyone else was booked up for graduation. The cake they made for us far exceeded our expectations and we also bought a French cheesecake that was amazing as well. For the 1st time in history we did not have a single dessert left over from our party. Not a crumb. My next visit to NY I will have to make my way over to my new friends at Stanleys Bakery. A Very Big Thank You to you all!!!!
Its Stanleys!! Perfect. Always is!! When back on the Island, its a must stop. Cheese Danish, Sugar Jelly Donuts , just the best. Same recipe for years. Im in my 50s, and still the same since I can remember as a kid!! Just love it!! If they have it , get a poppy seed coffee cake ring/ strudel/ cake. Yummy!!
Great bakery. Been around a long time. Soon old school places like this will disappear. But not this one. I only gave it three stars because everytime I go back home and visit I order lots of stuff as a to go order to bring back where I live now. Every time they screw it up and give sub quality goods compared to what is on the shelves.That being said I will continue to patronize Stanleys. It is still the best in the area for miles around. I recommend the horseshoe cookies.
All the buns are delicious specially jelly and creme buns. I ordered a carrot cake for my wife birthday party to my surprise it wasnt fresh. I return it and the bakery refuse to refund me..so i settled for another cake and they charged me 5 dollars more. I had no choice but to pay. Im very unhappy with the customer service. Im a long time customer.
Every single time I am in Long Island visiting I have to stop in. The staff is always friendly and some of the best cookies anywhere. This place got me drinking coffee again when i visited (trying to cut down) and caught me in a moment of self reflection where I wondered if I was visiting Long Island to see my family or Stanleys.
Long lines, and if you pre-order they have you wait in line with people who are ordering from the showcase. Normally there is a line to the left of the store for pre-orders, but none today (03-11-18). And then the entire order was not filed and I was told everything was there.

2022-07-08This was our first time trying this bakery for a cake order. I was so pleased that we were able to get the cake order in for July 3rd. A lot of bakeries werent accepting cake orders because of the holiday. The detail that went into the cake was amazing! Everyone at the party LOVED the cake! I couldnt stop eating it 🤭 we ordered a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. The icing is quite sweet, but we have a sweet tooth in this family, so we didnt mind it. Definitely ordering more cakes in the future!

2022-05-06There was a large selection of cakes, cookies, pastries and breads. I purchased some treats for a friend and got a small loaf of seeded rye. Staff was nice and boxed everything nicely.

2020-10-30Absolutely love this place. Many different options, a great breakfast sandwich, and the best jelly donuts I have tasted. Beyond that the staff was friendly even notice that one of the staff workers saw an older gentleman drop his item outside and she ran out in the rain to replace it. You cant beat that type of service.

2021-12-16Used to be undeniably the best bakery I’ve ever been to, but in the mid 2010s they changed their cake recipe and they have never been as good. The worst part is they deny having changed anything. They changed their jelly donut recipe as well - although that they actually admitted to doing. I was also sad to see they no longer sell their character cookies with the sugar heads. Nothing quite like eating one of those. Some products - although different - are still good, like the yogurt muffins, but as more things continue to change I get closer to considering other bakeries. It’s a shame because the place has so much charm and could be so great. Should be an easy fix…

2020-12-17I called ahead for a rainbow cake for a friends bd. It was all ready when I arrived to pay and pick up. Social distancing measures are in place to give you the warm fuzzy and the cake? It was delightful! So moist. The right proportion of cake to filling. The chocolate was not overwhelming. In a word, decadent.
