Laurentino’s Pasticceria Caffe

Amazing bakery!!! Absolutely a go-​to pastry shop. We had fruit tarts, cannolis and chocolate dipped strawberries — all fabulous! Can’t wait to go back!

My favorite is the chocolate dipped raspberry filled chocolate cookie. If you like chocolate and raspberry, it’s a must try. Seriously addicted to this one!

This place has pretty decent cheesecake. My husband and I were out to dinner and had a cheesecake craving so after a quick Unilocal search, we found Laurentino’s. We got a small oreo cheesecake, a plain topped with chocolate, and an almond one. The oreo was the best out of the three. It had decent flavor, but was very dry. Overall, all the flavors were pretty dry. The plain topped with chocolate’s flavor was a little more lacking than the oreo and the almond literally tasted like nothing. There was s light balance of sweet and tanginess you expect from cheesecake with the oreo, but not as much in the other ones. If you are truly craving cheesecake, this is a bad place to get it but know you won’t get the best. The prices can’t be beat though. VERY affordable.

Love love the chocolate moose cake! Didn’t get to take a picture but my family loved it. It’s so rich and creamy and so perfect. My family is picky and they are not easy to please when it comes down to sweets. My husband loves the flan cheesecake. I have tried a lot of goodies from here from the Italian layer cookies, horse shoe almond cookies and coconut macaroons and they are all yummy. I love coming here this place puts a lot of Italian bakeries to shame.

My go to place. I’ve been going here all my life, since I was a kid. Literally since the days it was known as Park Slope bakery by the previous owner. We were pretty close to the old family but then they sold it and moved to LI. So glad the quality remains even now. Love this place! Has a coffee shop feel to it now.

Excellent chocolate mouse cake. The rainbow cookies were also very yummy.

My only hesitation in writing this review is the fear of oversharing NYC’s best kept secret! I just walked 20 blocks in the rain to get some cannolis from this place. Which I promise you are the best in the city. I’ve tried many. But that’s not all. Everything I have tried here has been superior: the custard-​filled pastries, the tiramisu slices, and wow the cheesecake I took to my uncle’s birthday was gone in seconds! The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

I bought my son cake last year here it was delicious! Im going order my husbands cake here!

Laurentino’s is my go-​to for stocking up on cookies or pastries to bring to dinner parties or when entertaining. It seems to be the only bakery in the area that I’ve come across where you can buy desserts in bulk.
I have yet to try all of their selections, but I will say that I brought the raspberry-​filled butter cookies dipped in chocolate to a dinner party. My friend tried one and mentioned that every time she’s had one of these kinds of cookies in the past, they must’ve been stale, because these just tasted extremely fresh, and I totally agree!
Doesn’t seem like a place that I’d sit around for coffee and dessert, but it’s a great take out option for sharing with others.

Spontaneously dropped by to pick up some desserts on New Year’s Eve only
to be treated with poor customer service. I asked the counter lady if I can have a specific cheesecake that was in the front of the glass window, since the strawberry on it looked fresher. She chose the one in the back (not sure if she misheard me or just ignored my request). After she was putting it into a box for me, I realized she chose the wrong one, so I asked her if I can have the one in the front instead. She proceeded to tell me with a slight attitude, «it’s the same thing. The one in the back is actually fresher.» i decided to let it go and stick with the one she chose since I didn’t want to bother her, as she had packed it for me already, only to hear her talk to another employee about me in spanish as I heard the word «cheesecake» and «frutas» in her speech. Not only did she not respect my request as a customer, but she went to talk crap about me immediately after, which I just found plain rude.

Very affordable bakery with above average taste. Their chocolate covered strawberries are only a dollar and are delicious. Good coffee. Friendly staff. A neighborhood must !!

Ordered a full size cheesecake for my boyfriend’s birthday. I requested blackberries and blueberries on top and it was just beautiful and so delicious! The person I spoke to on the phone was very helpful, and the price was half of what a Jr’s special order would’ve cost. The cheesecake was just spectacular. Thick, creamy, not too sweet, the fruit was delish. Everyone loved it!

My husband and I moved to the neighborhood 7 months ago and decided to finally give Laurentino’s a try due to the extremely high Unilocal ratings. Unfortunately, our experience was NOT the 4 – 5 star experience that we were expecting.
Last night, we had just finished dinner at Monsignor’s (5 star experience!) and decided it was a perfect opportunity to finally try Laurentino’s since it was right across the street. We walked in & were the only patrons besides one other person, so they weren’t busy at all. We had a few questions and the woman working behind the counter was able to answer them. I wouldn’t say that she was rude, but she wasn’t overly friendly either. We ended up ordering ¼ pound of Pignoli cookies, a single piece of cherry pie, and a single serving of flan. She asked us if it was okay to put everything in a box and we agreed, and our bill came to $ 10.
We arrived home and put the box directly into the fridge, but waited until today to dig in. We opened the box only to discover the flan was missing.
So I figured this is an easily solvable issue. I’ll just call them and tell them it’s missing. Obviously the girl must’ve realized that she didn’t give us the flan since it would’ve been just sitting there on the counter, right? Well I’m sorry to report that they did not offer us the missing flan or a refund, instead they questioned me for 4 minutes and then put me on hold for another 8 minutes until I finally gave up and hung up! I know a lot of you are probably thinking that I’m making a huge fuss over a $ 2 – 3 piece of flan, but it’s not the money, it’s the principle of it. I was a first time customer who paid good money to eat their product. It’s bad enough that they took my money and failed to give me the product, but then to handle my complaint the way they just did is simply inexcusable! I’ve been working in the service industry myself for over 20 years and I would NEVER handle a complaint with an interrogation followed by putting a customer on hold until they hang up! If I could give them ZERO stars I would!
As for the desserts we DID get — the cookies were good, the pie was bad.

This place is simply a diamond in the rough. The fifth star is really for the value. The price on their extremely tasty items take me back to the 90s and that’s a good thing in today’s over-​inflated food prices. If you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by.

Rainbow cookies are good. Butter cookies need more butter. Cakes are usually too sweet. They sell italian pastries but they are not so authentic…

Great coffee, tasty cookies, mini-​cheesecake, and the best part… chocolate covered strawberries! I wish the dipped bananas. This place is super affordable too so it’s dangerous.

Best cheesecakes ever! I went into the place for the first time a while ago, and I’ve been going there a lot ever since for cannolis, cookies, and of course, cheesecake. So friendly, too!

Customer service was outstanding! I needed to deliver desserts to a friend and the Laurentino staff were so helpful! Thank you so much!

This place is simply divine. So much so that my out-​of-​town sister requires me to bring her a few of the mini-​cheesecakes before she’ll let me in the door when I visit — she maintains their seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake is legit the best she’s ever had, and who am I to argue?
This past weekend I stopped in with a friend who was visiting from out of town, and being indecisive as usual, we basically bought one of everything… typical. One might a sweet tooth like that would lead to both an instant sugar coma and a pretty large hole in the wallet — but even I was shocked at the crazy low prices here. We had cannolis, cheesecake, mousse cake, chocolate strawberries and a few of the italian cookies and everything was just delish (not to mention again for round two for breakfast the next morning…)
Literally my only complaint is the fact that I wish they made more savory breads (I can only begin to imagine what they could do with a foccacia) — but honestly I still hardly need an excuse to pop in here. Their baguettes are great (even the whole wheat — which is no easy feat in my opinion), and the service is great. Love it!

Went back and had them put together a box of mixed goodies for a Fourth of July BBQ I was going to…
bunch of mini cheesecakes, some mini cannolis, mini eclairs, and a red velvet cupcake for the mrs.
Someone else said it was «the best Red Velvet cake they had ever had» and she’s a huge fan of Red Velvet. Everything was great, as usual.
