Superb Italian bakery with petit fours to die for Mmmmmmmmmm Recommended
I visit this wonderful shop at least once a week. Everyone there is so kind and I absolutely LOVE the rainbow cake!
Lovely little pastry shop in Grammercy. We had chocolate croissant and mini cannolis.
Sexy ass macaroons. I ate that shit with my mouth parts.
Not many of these old school family style bakeries are left in NYC so when I happened upon this one in the neighborhood that I work in I had to drop by for some cookies. Maybe it was the large bakery chef statue standing outside the entrance that drew me in. That, or all the delicious looking stuff in the windows. La Delice Pastry Shop has been doing it right since 1935 and is a long-time mainstay in this part of town, Kips Bay. In an era where it seems that the city is getting rid of and losing many of its old-school, iconic, and cultural mainstays it’s always reassuring to discover a few of these places still surviving. To me, there is nothing like real bakery style cookies made the old-fashioned way, and not just pumped out by a factory pre-packaged and mass-produced.

I love the worn look of this place - as if stepping back in time to the 1950's. From what I heard the place has been around since the 1930's so they must be doing something right. The large glass counters contain and show off all types of goodies - cookies, cakes, cupcakes, assorted pastries, etc. When you walk in you are surrounded by buttery baked goodness - walls of butter cookies to the left, all types of pastries straight ahead, cakes and other treats such as rugulach, fun cupcakes and brownies on the right. You gain two pounds just standing there and inhaling the bakery air!
The butter cookies here are some of the best. I picked up a half pound for $6 and they were devoured last night over coffee. Light, crunchy, airy, chewy, buttery goodness all rolled into one. Some dipped in chocolate, some filled with raspberry, some plain, all yummy. Just a note - this place is cash only! Also, I did not experience any of the bad service by the people behind the counter as other reviewers here have noted.
Yeah, I really need to go back on a diet soon. Until then, I am going to enjoy stuffing my fat face with this buttery goodness!
