By the Way Bakery

A friend from Westchester (NY) had gifted me several almond cookies years ago, pre-pandemic. Although I loved the cookies, at the time, I felt that I couldn’t justify the trip. I live in Bergen County (NJ) and although I had not ventured to the Bakery, i never forgot how incredible those cookies were. I had had some BTW items purchased at Whole Foods but they weren’t the same (although I do adore the Madelines from there). This Saturday, the stars aligned and my husband & I made it to the shop in Hastings. OH MY! We purchased a bunch of goodies to freeze. My favorites? Amy Cake and Blondies. I still love the almond cookies but…. SO WORTH THE TRIP! So worth the price - gluten free, dairy free, & kosher. A HUGE part of my AMAZING experience at the bakery was the fabulous help - SHYANA was THE BEST. She was extremely helpful, friendly, kind, & patient with my questions and indecisiveness. Although we had placed an advance order, being in the shop with all these edible beauties was overwhelming - we bought more while there. It took years for us to get there but we already plan to go back within a couple of weeks. The entire experience of the BY THE WAY Bakery is over the top - from their adorable shop, cute packaging, lovely to look at and delicious to eat baked goods, and top staff = Shyana. Many, many thanks! Be back soon!

Super cute, small, gluten free and dairy free bakery with a couple of locations in NYC and one in Westchester. I've also seen their cake slices sold in Whole Foods in Manhattan. My favorites from here are the coconut cloud cake, and the brownie. I thought the cream puff was a bit disappointing since there was no cream inside... The raspberry bar also had a super delicious and fresh tasting raspberry filling, though it kind of fell apart as you were eating it.

At least twice a year I have major events that call for great deliciousness. This bakery takes the cake! I will never stop buying from here.
