Lety's Bakery and Cafe

My favorite bakery in Queens. For any special occasion, I always make a trip here to get one of their delicious cakes, all of which have been absolute bangers

We stayed down the block for three days and three nights and visited this bakery no less than three times because they are so amazing. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life is their lobster tail pastry. I didn’t know what I was missing before…it is perfection in a pastry. We also loved the chocolate milk mini cake and everything we tried seemed to be made with love. Lety is there day and night, and is so sweet and lovely. Amazing and I already miss it. We will be sure to return. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Simple, elegant, yet one of the delicious and tasteful cake was made for my baby shower by Lety’a bakery. The reason her bakery set apart for us is due to the personal experience that she provided. We ordered 2 tier cake, first tier was the carrot cake and second tier was red velvet. All the guests raved about the carrot and the red velvet cake, I was so happy with it!!! The delivery was on time, she kept me posted on any changes, overall exceptional experience. Definitely found my go to place for a custom cake from now on.

This little Italian bakery is amazing. The quality of the pastries, cookies and desserts would rival any in Manhattan or Rome.

Great selection of pastries, cookies, baked treats. I went with a latte this time but next time will get some cookies to go. They seem very popular to customers before and after me.

Have been coming here pretty much every week for two years. Best carrot cake and pignolies. Super friendly staff and my go-to neighborhood bakery for more italian-style desserts.

My family and I love this place and we usually get our desserts here and order cakes. The last few times I went the two girls who work in the front have been so RUDE. Any questions I had they were giving me an attitude. Not just to me, but I noticed to other customers as well. I noticed someone asking about a cake and they dismissed her instead of explaining to her nicely. I felt really bad seeing that. We love Letty’s but we are paying for a service and should be treated with respect.

This bakery is absolutely amazing! Their chocolate pound cake is irresistible--easily one of the best I've ever had. Everything here is delicious and incredibly fresh, from their pastries to other treats. I can't stay away from this place! Thank you Izabela

4/5 Tiramisu was really good. 4/5 Cheesecake was really good too. Very dense, but good. Wish my sister had gotten either of these for my bday, instead of the super sweet tres leches.

I recently had the best flan ever at Lety's Bakery. It was massive. We shared it amongst 12 people at a party and it was finished in about an hour. At least 4 people echoed on their own accord that it was the best flan they too have ever tasted. Lety's Bakery has really set the bar so high that I'm not sure I can ever confidently order flan from anyone else in New York. While I live on Long Island, I can so see myself driving over to Jackson Heights to make a special occasion even more special.

Thank you for my younger sisters birthday cake tiramisu she loved it and so did we. I love how you guys accept Apple Pay! Thank you so much for the great service!!!

The best dessert in Jackson heights. Love the lobster tails. I tried it once and now I buy it all the time.

The coffee at Lety's is always good, the service is great and the pastries are delicious. Coffee here is strong, I get ice lattes with cinnamon and it's always consistent!

I wanted a flan to bring to a gathering and my friend had purchased one from here and I was not disappointed, it was perfect looking, tasting and not too sweet which is what I prefer.

I stopped by with my family for a quick breakfast. Service was exceptional, served with a smile, there was no rush even with a line behind us. Food was delicious. The woman that waited on us was so patient and took the time to explain what the dessert was made of. Seating was limited because of the crowd. Price was low. I highly recommend this place, and definitely coming here again!!.

I only been to this bakery twice and I already can't get enough. The first visit I got the tres leche and flan, both equally delicious. What I appreciated the most is that it wasn't overly sweet. Todays visit, I've gotten the pistachio cheese, and lobster tail. The cream inside the lobster tail is perfect, just the right amount and once again not overly sweet. I love pistachios so the cheese cake is currently in first place for me. I'm looking forward to my next visit and trying something new and hopefully discovering a new favorite.

I absolutely love their Russian Tea Cookies! They're always fresh and delicious every time I visit.

Good place to get different variety of cakes, laterite's, coffee. I was able to order ahead and got fresh cake the next day.

Love this place. As the years have gone by, it seems to be more-and-more popular. Deservedly so. We especially like the strawberry shortcake.

Really really good cookies. Really really really good cookies. Really really really really good cookies. They sell their cookies by the pound. Buy a ton.

Lovely cute little bakery!!! I quickly stopped before dinner to get a dessert, and Lety's was on the way. Everything looks so delicious, and what a cute shop had to take some pics. The environment seemed very welcoming, and they do have wifi. I ended up eating the strawberry cheesecake, which was so amazing. I will be back to try more.

I've been here many times over the years and try to come back even after moving away from the area. Tip: if you pay in cash, they won't charge tax. This time around, I got the round Italian cheesecake ($19.50), a pecan tart ($6), and small Flan ($4). The pecan tart was good and the pastry itself was very crumbly even after a day in the fridge. I think the Flan and Italian cheesecake are the best things here and almost always get them. Flan is one of the best, if not the best Flan I've had in NYC, but strangely the small Flan tastes better than the big one (I bought one for a party before and it wasn't as custardy?). The Italian cheesecake doesn't have any fruit flavoring which is my preference. You can get it by weight but now they also have big versions for parties to my delight.

Great food. Good prices. Love their pecan pie. I ordered it a couple of days in advance, and they had it ready for me when I arrived.

Great place to get pastries! But the customer service needs to improve!! One female has an attitude that says if you don't like working there then quit!! The customer service needs to approve 100% .

Yummy Italian bakery in Queens. Great to find a real gem in the neighborhood. Coconut macaroons were to die for.

Can't beat this place‼‼‼ Always great pastries, espresso and Americano‼ love the ambiance. Wish this room was bigger...‼

I happened upon this place via a buddy of mine that is a Jackson Heights local and a foodie. This small bakery/cafe features a variety of desserts and cookies by the pound. Service was prompt and friendly. Everything looked delicious. I bought a few cookies and two pastries to go. My kids ate it all so I'm going to go with "it was delicious". I will return for more of those lobster tail pastries. So good!

The service was chill and amazing. The pastries speak for themselves. I visited twice in four days on my visit!

This a my campaign for Lety Bakery to bring back their delicious coconut custard pie! They've told me it's seasonal but it's too delicious not to have it on their regular menu.

Craving NOT fulfilled. I Google searched best tres leches cake in queens. This place popped up. I hate when bakeries mislead with this type of cake. Food: i came here for the tres leches and ended up ordering a mini cheesecake as well(glad i did). The tres leches was not real tres leches. Not moist or drenched in milk at all. Just tasted like angel cake with fruit filling. Where are the leches??? Very disappointed. BUT the cheesecake! That was amazing! One of the best I've had. No hard outer layer. Every bite perfectly creamy and cool(temp). the sauce drizzle gave a nice sweet subtle taste and strawberries were fresh and sweet! Go for the cheesecake if you come here. Their selection is not extensive. Price: $5 for mini cakes is a little steep. They also only take card with $10 minimum, so bring cash if not ordering much. Service: 3 ladies behind counter. All wearing masks and gloves. I was being attended and making decisions, the girl walked away mid service and then started talking to another girl behind the counter while i continued to wait to finish being serviced. I had questions about the types of cakes. Curt demeanor and inattentive service. Ambiance: it's a small bakery with 3-4 small tables that seat 2. Sanitizers on the tables was appreciated. Colors are inviting. Loved the chalk board menu. But over all nothing crazy. more of a pick up type of place. Won't come back for "tres leches" might go back for the cheesecake.Okay if you live near or in the area not worth a long drive here.

I had a mixed experience during my visit to this cafe. (Flan) This was amazing and I almost bought more than one serving! Well made and really tasty! Decent portion and decent price! (Flan Cheesecake) Extremely disappointed as it was literally a "Frankenstein" of a dessert. It was not a cheesecake that was flan flavored but half of a cheesecake with a half of flan stuck on top. Still tasty but felt a bit fooled purchasing it. (Iced Dirty Chai and Customer Service) First off, there are 3 different sizes/price ranges offered, but they only had large ice cups (the most expensive in the range) and then when I ordered it "iced", I was arbitrarily charged an extra $1-2 more (which is not listed on the menu). It also tasted so awful (like a spoiled sour taste), which I suspect to be the coffee beans. When I went to inform the staff, I was met with a minimizing statement that this was what "Dirty Chai" tasted like. No refund was offered nor an acknowledgement of my concern. However, if I liked the drink, the portion size was pretty great for a "Large". On the plus side, they have a really great variety of pastries and I think the pastries are generally pretty great!

I came here by chance and so glad I did! I was hunting for a place to get a birthday cake for my sister's birthday and came across this gem so I decided to check it out. It's a small place, but the staff is very friendly and kind. I decided on the flan cheesecake, something I've never seen anywhere else and it is AMAZING. I've actually come back again for another birthday just because it was so good. I initially thought it would be something in the middle, but it is really just flan and cheesecake on top of each other. But it is a perfect balance of the flan and cheesecake, and is absolutely delicious. It's a bit messy though because of the flan, make sure you get it in a bag because it will leak. Highly recommend everyone trying it! One thing though, because it is so unique and in high demand you should call ahead of time and place an order to make sure they have it. Sometimes they run out.

You can tell Lety's takes pride in everything they make. Every Lety's cake or cookie or dessert I've brought to an event is met with praise. And the staff is always kind and quick. They're often open on holidays when you need to bring someone to a relative's. We're lucky to have them in the neighborhood.

Came in on my way home after dinner. It was late so they were definitely on the end of day supply. There was a little bit of a line so that gave me some hope that the desserts would be good. They have a few tables to sit but not a lot of space for a crowd. I got the brownie and the Oreo cheesecake. I tasted the brownie it was moist and soft but nothing crazy not the best brownie ever but good and the same with the Oreo cheesecake. It was covered in Oreo crumb but is just a plain cheesecake. It's soft and creamy and a decent flavor but not the best ever. The price is decent for the quality not too expensive it was 9 ish dollars for the two items

I went and brought here today for breakfast to buy my favorite pastry which was the almond pastries with different fillings! When I got it, it was fresh from the oven, smells really good, tasted quite sweet and delicious! The service there was extremely quick to get my order really fast! The place is also really nice, welcoming, friendly and clean too! Finally, I would definitely come back here for another baked goods or anything else! :)

The dessert were delicious and great service We're recommend the carrot cake and flan cheese cake

They make everything in house except for the bagels. They have the BEST FLAN in Jackson heights hands down

Not only was this place super clean, cozy, and bright.. everything is absolutely delicious and more than affordable. Everyone behind the counter were super kind and helpful in getting us the perfect cake at the last moment. Can't recommend them enough.

Need more people at the counter. Looong waits & disorganized and the have a B rating!

My favorite go-to bakery in Queens. This is the only place I've been to with flan cheesecake and it is the best! My go-to almost everytime. Sometimes they don't have it out so you might need to ask for it. Everything is soo good. The carrot cake, mousse, cheesecake, cookies, croissants, everything it chefs kiss. You can't go wrong. There's a few seats and the vibes inside are good and the staff is super sweet. Highly recommend!

Wow wow wow I've been passing by this dessert shop all the time And never paid attention to. I wanted to check their cake today and OMG Their cheese cake was so good and caramel cake was heavenly soft and lovely sweet. I heard about a story of this shop, owner used to work at Veniero cheesecake shop in the city. I know now, why so many people love to come to this Hidden Gem. So happy check out this lovely shop!!

After getting off at the station I needed coffee and bagels. It only was a few blocks. Lety's is a favorite place in Jackson Heights. Coffee is very underrated because it's good. The baked goods are their main thing. Coffee and bagels go together good at breakfast. I got a cortado. This is about $2 and they can use non dairy milk. It had some nice spice in it. On display were their baked goods and pastries. I got a bagel. These are about $1 each. It only had the plain flavor, so that made this an easy choice. This wasn't anything that special, and the jelly was the best part. I might come some time again. It might be useful if ordering something for a party. They have good looking fruit tarts.

Lety's is such a great spot in Jackson Heights. It's charming, comfy, and has incredible pastries! We love the rainbow cookies and their croissants the most! The butter cookies are just so delicious, especially during the winter season! Highly recommend visiting this place

Came here this past weekend to try some of the desserts , and they were okay. The tart and eclair had this really thick filling , which we didn't like. The puff pastry was good, fresh and super light. The cannoli was cute, but the filling wasn't the best. The have some really food cheese cake, I absolutely love the almond cheesecake from here, it is a must get!

Needed something sweet after grabbing Birria-Landia tacos and Lety's fit the bill. The rainbow cookies were okay, and the pignoli cookies and plain cheesecake were decent, but the real star was the lobster tail, which was incredible. Get that for sure!!

I went early on a weekend and they had a good selection of items and it wasn't too busy. $26 got me an almond croissant, pignoli and Russian tea cookies (all pictured). Both of the cookies were PHENOMENAL, the almond croissant was just okay. I would definitely come back!

The lobster tail here is AWESOME. The fruity napoleon was pretty good... The rest was ok

I enjoyed the chocolate cupcake with my daughter, hot coco amd a late with oat milk. All delicious.the staff super friendly. Limited seating

Pastries were fresh and delicious Small shop so you may have to wait a little longer if it's busy. Shop was clean with a few seats I recommend this bakery

First time trying this bakery and it was really delicious. The lobster tail dessert is what dessert dreams are made of and I will be back for more . The cannoli was very creamy and it really reminded me of the ones I gotten at Little Italy.

I know I said that I would never be back, but during the pandemic I was visiting a lot of local places to show love and support and this place was one of them. I have become addicted to the almond croissants with the almond cream, they are delicious and are always sold out because everyone else in the neighborhood loves them. Today my sister in law showed up at my house and since it was her birthday I ran out down the block and got a Tres Leches for her. I was told that the price was $35 which I found a bit pricey because to be honest with you I knew it was not going to be a great and the cake was small, I still decided to buy it because it was a last minute thing. I ended up getting a Strawberry Shortcake, or something like that. It had zero milk, so it was a "Zero Leches." It has way too much cream, not enough actual cake, The pieces of fruit inside of the cake were huge, and it didn't even taste that good. The inside looked like it was falling apart, the fruits must if been so heavy since it mainly had fruits and cakes. I am so disappointed, but I should of known better! Had I knew that my sister-in-law was coming to my place I would've just baked a cake and I am sure it would've been cheaper and way better. This time, I am giving it a three starts for the almond croissants and other small things they have there, also the rude girls are gone, so there is a much better customer service but I DO NOT RECOMMEND this bakery for cakes and stuff. Also, the fact that the employee was certain that it was a Tres Leches cake, I complained to her that it was a bit pricey for the size of the cake, she said that their tres Leches are juicy, it have a lot of fruits in it and milk and are not like the regular Tres Leches that other places sell in the area. I even had to wait like 12-15 minutes because they were "finishing the Tres Leches" and for her to give me the wrong type cake is beyond unacceptable, plus look at the handwriting of the person who wrote "Happy Birthday" on the cake, it looked like it was written by a five year old. I bake at home often so maybe I'm being a bit harsh but considering that this is an actual professional bakery, and business I definitely expected better results even though the cake was just $35. When I saw that the cake was on a flat plate I thought it was strange because usually Tres Leches do not come on a flat plate but since she assured me it was it was a Tres Leches, I bought it. What a waste of money, smh.

I've loved Lety's from the beginning! I always say it's impossible to get anything bad there. BUT I can tell you what is bad - the afternoon counter girls! One has the personality and speed of a snail. The other one acts like she's doing you a favor! I'd hate to see a great business and very welcomed addition to the neighborhood ruined by bad staff.

Small bakery where neighborhood locals tend to stop by. Was lucky enough to get a table because there's a public school across the street. The pecan tart was enjoyable w/the large pecans&not that much filling, not making it too sweet which I liked. I regret not getting a hot coffee b/c the iced coffee wasn't worth the price. Also disappointed there was no wifi&no bathrm.

Best Cheesecake! I've had cheesecake from many places and this is the only spot that makes it just right. Every bite is taste like heaven Also, the raspberry mousse and chocolate mousse combination desert is another favorite and the perfect combination

Lety's is a truly gem in the Jackson Heights neighborhood. It's dangerously close to my apartment so I stop by roughly once a week to pick up treats, but my husband and I can't get enough. Amazing rainbow cookies, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, carrot cake, and much more. I can say with confidence you won't regret it.

My friend introduced me to this place several years ago. They gave very good iced coffee. It's strong because they add espresso to it and do not overfill your cup with ice. You are definitely not getting watered down coffee. I usually have some of their cookies or a slice of their carrot cake. It's all pretty good but I just love the coffee. For two dollars a cup plus 75 cents if you choose to have a flavor your getting high quality that compares to other places that will charge you five dollars for some ice and very little coffee. I've also had their flan cheesecake which is heavy but so delicious. It's creamy and has a nice bite to it. Their cakes and cake slices aren't expensive either. I will keep coming back here especially for their iced coffee. I saw their coffee cake today and it was calling my name but I had to be good (saving those calories for vacation). Mera's Tip: save a couple of dollars by getting your iced coffee here.
