Fritzie’s Bake Shop

This place is pretty good. For catering they never disappoint. I love their Tocino and their BBQ a lot. I would come back for sure.

This is a decent bakery, with really impressive bread and coffee in good price. But compared to other Filipino places, they provide only a limited selection of main dishes. There was only one soup and one vegetable dish to choose. The ambience is OK.

Five stars for the food. If you don’t wanna cook, can always come here to buy authentic Filipino food
Four stars for the price. (Doesn’t give you much ulam for the price.)
Three stars for the service. The main lady is «mataray» or rudish. Or has an attitude. I come here for breakfast all the time after work and she’s always asking so rudely, always rushing you to order even though there’s nobody behind you to order. I don’t like it. I prefer going to renee’s for breakfast but they don’t open early enough. Krystal’s would have been good too but today they didn’t open at 8am.
So four stars in average.

I tried their chicharon that comes in a round aluminum, omg it was sooo good! I think it was melys chicharon.

I like this place they have a very good selection of dishes. Overall the food is good a little on the greasy side. I like the breakfast very inexpensive. Out of many items early in the morning.

I went last Saturday 06÷13÷15 to picked up my lechon which I ordered 3 days prior to my birthday occasion. I called before I went there to confirm my order for pick up and they said yes. When I get there the lady took my credit card and charge my card right away. After few minutes the lady told that my order was given to somebody else. I asked her how did that happened since you confirmed that with me and charged me right away? I told her that your reason is unacceptable! How could you run a business like this ruining people special occasion! And they even have the nerve to asked me if i’m willing to wait for an hour and a half to make a new one and I asked her directly are you sure you can do that and she can’t even answered me. After that I told her to give me credit on my card. I strongly not recommending this place to anybody for their poor service! If there’s zero rating here that what they deserved! Shame on you!!!

Didn’t try the main dishes, but the Bitso-​Bitso (Filipino donut) was phenomenal! Fresh, warm & delicious! And ONLY 50 cents!!! Worth the 5 stars for sure!

Excellent fast food. But be careful about purchasing baked goods. Check for expiration dates.

After my work in Manhattan I always come here to buy cook food in bulk, the food was great, it’s just that they need to be careful on scooping the food outside its service container, there are incident that I order food and drops of it are going to other food items, I know they follow the temperature set by the department of health but they just need to be careful on causing cross contamination, because it’s not just the first time it happen. I myself can tolerate that, but they need to be careful with other costumers who cannot tolerate that. I will still come back here because I believe that there is room for more improvement…

This place is okay. It’s a hit or miss. They have good selections. A lot of its foods are swimming in oil and of all the times I came back (I live a block away) their customer service was horrible. They aren’t attentive, which led me to walk out several times.

Weird experience. Walked in here to get a few ensaymadas. When I went to pay one girl was standing behind the counter turned away and doing makeup or something. The other guy back there also just stood there without really doing/​saying anything. As somebody who worked in food place before, it seems unprofessional to just stand around/​do your makeup while there are customers at the register. Finally a third girl in the back noticed me and quickly ran over.
Ensaymadas were okay nothing special. I prefer Krystals down the street.

If I could rate this place lower than this, I would.
We always do parties during holidays and birthdays, and living in NYC and being busy with work and stuff, we always order food to serve. We ordered three trays of different viands from their menu for Christmas, one was ‘Bistek’, the other was Dinuguan, and the third which was the disaster: KARE-​KARE.
To cut the story short, they had sold a spoiled tray of food and expecting no repercussions from it. Not even apologetic when my friend called them up to inform them about it, they shrugged their shoulders on it implying that it was our problem not theirs.
Probably because they know we were Filipinos too, our concerns wouldn’t matter.
Just check out the pictures I’m adding. Such a disappointment.

I frequented Fritzies for over a year now and recently I have gone back after a 3 month lull. What a disapointment the past four times, including tonight. The selection was awful, the same line up day after day, with no new dishes. Same old stuff every day. If the taste and freshness were decent, I would not have written a negative review. They are missing one chef and what they do is make a HUGE load of the food and store it in a tubware waiting to get cold and old. The quality of the food has gone downhill. The rice tonight was old and dry. I don’t recommend. I probably will not be going back anytime soon.
Fritzies you need to bring the good old days back! You are losing customers! The food and selection desperately need major upgrades.

Fritzie’s Bake Shop is a Filipino bakery as well as an eat-​in place for people who want a meal. I didn’t sample the meal deals yet, but I have been eating the pastries. When you come in, there is shelving with pastries wrapped up and other pastries in plastic containers .The wrapped pastries all contain a small card, listing the bakery, product and ingredients. It must be very time consuming to wrap each pastry with tiny card inserts into each wrapper, but I must admit, it is much more hygenic then leaving the pastries out like most of the Chinese bakeries do. They have mamons, hopias, banana pound cake, chocolate pound cake, pound cake, ensaymada, pan de sal, star bread, and other goodies. For the second time, I came when they brought out bitso-​bitso (donut) and I couldn’t resist and had it both times, when they were fresh and still very warm. Their banana pound cake looks like a small brick, but when you actually eat it, it is light and airy. The mamon is much smaller than Krystal’s, but I like the taste of Fritzie’s mamon better. The texture is delicate and the sponge cake very refine. They have a good variety of pastries on the shelves, I spent some time just ogling the pastries and soaking in the sight.

This time, I’ll be sweeter. I invited my bf here and we ordered 1 three combo meal w/​soda & rice and shared it. It’s enough for us because we had a hearty lunch meal and the time came by for dinner was a little bit early. But anyhow, the food was not salty but perfectly seasoned and tasty. We also bought some pastries which I know would be liked. He intends to bring in to work to have his co-​workers be introduced to Filipino pastries. My favorite and you’ll like it too is Hopia Ube!

Its a misleading name. but Fritzies is really what Filipinos call «turo-turo»…meaning point-​point. They have all the savoury dishes all ready made and all u do is point to it and its served up! No wait. no figuring out menus. Just good food FAST! They open at the crack of dawn and the workers are friendly and helpful and the prices are very affordable. And yes they have baked goods… which are very good. The only thing i wish is… when will NYC… uh, no… when will America get a Filipino Restaurant with Filipino décor (not chinese or japanese) and a fully 100% Filipino menu?

Some of the staff are not too knowledgeable about the products that they are selling. They sold me a birthday cake that was tough as a rock and dry.
I don’t want to completely knock the place and hope they do better service to the non-​filipino crowd in the future.

They have tea and durian cake. YUM.

The name is misleading because they serve more than baked goods but also hot meals. It’s a casual and clean joint within this one-​block mini-«Flip» enclave, but worth a stop for lunch/​dinner if you’re not in the mood to cook and just have a home cooked meal. My mother picked me up and we had an early dinner here yesterday after my hard day of saturday cycling and we each had the combo meal for $ 7.60 which is a complete meal and drink and comes with a selection of three entrees. Where else can you get that? I decided to come back for lunch because I had to pass up brunch and lunch with my running pals b/​c I’m the only one who had to do a horrible Sunday long run and I’d feel guilty drinking my mimosa knowing I was supposed to do that. I’ve only had their «brazo de mercedes» and rate it OK, because I’ve had it better someplace else. That’s one of my many fave «Flip» desserts.

I was on my way to visit my friend who lives 3 blocks away & i saw another friend on the street, who then recommended me to this place, which outside wasn’t really that appealing — -nothing much really, just a basic food place that has made do with less frills & design to attract attention to a chunk of the captive market in this area — -i decided i’d like to have dinner before proceeding to my friend’s place.
well, my simple dinner turned out to be great! of course, this is not home style cooking — -mainly dishes that have been adjusted to meet taste buds of the whimsical market (who always demands so much in exchange for so little amount of money to pay LOL). they had this meal package where you choose among what’s prepared and ready for the day — -i had 3 varieties of meat (pork, beef) dishes that could have caused me more cholesterol troubles but why should i care at that time? i mean, it’s seldom that i get to have these dishes unless i’m with other Filipinos… so i took the chance LOL.
service was OK, attentive, actually… i just hope the staff are actually having fun doing their work — –they have that awkward look, & trying too hard to please (and attempting to win us all by not saying anything off, thus they look not so authentic) — -just enjoy the work, and it’ll show — and speak up what’s in your mind, guys! LOL we’re now in the US.
