"Open for just over a year, this burgeoning bakery empire (two locations now open with three more on the way this year) recently started offering 24-layer cakes. Cakes this large are typically dry and crumbly, but their renditions are impossibly moist and tender. From head baker Arlander Brown, formerly of Librae Bakery and Liv Breads, they have a “Beauty” (lemon curd, blueberry ganache, and vanilla bean whipped ganache) and a “Beast” (chocolate cake layered with dark chocolate ganache and rum syrup). They now offer them everyday as part of the evening menu, from 5 to 9 p.m. in Long Island City." - Mike Chau
"Somedays has become the big Queens bakery opening over the last year. The creativity here is unparalleled: One day you might find an elote danish, another a Greek sausage roll. The classics — even just a plain croissant — are great here, too. A follow-up location debuted in LIC, and more are in the works, spreading to Manhattan and beyond." - Emma Orlow
"For a great plain croissant with an ultra-flaky exterior and a bright yellow interior, head to Somedays Bakery, which opened in Astoria in 2024 (there are several other locations in the works). There’s also an almond croissant, black sesame tahini, pistachio lattice, strawberry hazelnut, and more, for between $5 to $9." - Robert Sietsema
"Somedays, an Astoria bakery that opened earlier this year from the Chip City Cookies team, is famous for croissants in over-the-top flavors like pistachio-raspberry jam and black sesame. It has become one of the buzziest bakeries to land in Queens in years. A second Somedays Bakery will debut at 4630 Center Boulevard, near 47th Avenue, in April." - Emma Orlow
"Astoria has a new bakery from the people behind Chip City, where you can get all sorts of laminated pastries, and smoked salmon croissant sandwiches. Somedays on 30th Ave has been open on weekends for a bit, but is now open from Tuesday to Saturday." - will hartman
