Lasalle Bakery

This place fell off, I used to love their strawberry shortcake and cannolis. I pre ordered a strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries for my mom’s birthday. It was ready on time and they wrote «Happy Birthday Mom» for me. When we got home and sang happy birthday I noticed that the cake was not as good as it used to be. The strawberries weren’t fresh and the filling was mostly red goo. I’m so disappointed in Lasalle. The cannolis are still delicious but other than that I will not be returning.

We got some cannolis, a red velvet cupcake, and an onion roll. The cannolis were good, but unfortunately the red velvet cupcake tasted like a plain cupcake, and the onion roll was bland.
It was also kind of strange when I went into the shop the owners just stared at stared at me and said nothing. They also have a sign saying they have Italian ices, but they don’t, even though it’s summer.

The treats here are always stale and the customer service is atrocious. So rude and snotty. I’d rather travel elsewhere for baked good. So not worth it.

Great place! Stopped here on Mothers Day. Had great selections and was still out of there quickly. Price is average pricing for bakeries in the area. Staff was friendly and swift in the service! Will make this my go-​to bakery now. Better than driving all the way to Williamsbridge.

Pros:
— streusel apple pie (crispy buttery crust and apple wasn’t too sweet)
— large selection of pies and pastries
Cons:
— pastries are dry
— coffee was meh (keep in mind that this is a bakery)
Bottom line: good pie but only worth it if you’re in the area

Visiting Ny for the holidays my sister in law told me the Banana Crème pie was excellent. So I decided to buy a bunch of cakes for my holiday visits there. I got Boston Crème pie, Banana crème Pie & a Canoli cake, some pumpkin pies. The crème pies like the boston crème, and banana crème were made out of this horrible light fluffy fake cream stuff (Kind of like Fluff, although Fluff might be tastier)
There was nothing creamy about these pies, and how do you skimp on bananas for a banana crème pie? Bananas are cheap! WTF?
Everything I bought tased like cheap supermarket bakery cakes. The Canoli cake was a miss, the cream was horrible, the taste generic. The pumpkin pies were the worst, they tasted like it was someones first attempt at making them. I brought the pies to 3 house in 2 days, no one liked them and they all ended up in the garbage, even the pumpkin pies which my family usually inhales. They were that bad. I mean even a halfway decent cake someone would take home with them but no one wanted these things. I was so dissapointed. I spent $ 75 bucks on cakes that went in the garbage. Booooo Lasalle Bakery! Take a baking class and learn how to make some good cakes!

Delicious cookies (so light I can eat wayyyyyy too many of them), focaccia pizzas, and wonderful capuccino. I love this place. Neighborhood gem.
