If you ever need a speciality cake, please come here!! Padoca has a huge selection of baked goods and cakes that you're bound to find the perfect thing for your occasion. If not, they also do customized cakes! I ordered their golf themed cake for my husband's birthday and the cost was super reasonable (~$110) and it was ready for pick up on the morning of my scheduled date. Ordering online was easy and if you had any questions you can contact them through email. The cake came out better than expected and included a little mobile golf cart which was soooo cute. The cake itself was delicious too! I highly recommend Padoca and will be ordering from them again!

I absolutely love this place. They have the best coffee on the UES. The PDQs are amazing. I get them fresh and also their frozen cook-at-home bags...my kids love them so they are a real life saver when out of breakfast ideas! I would also recommend the chocolate chip banana bread muffins and loaves. I am not gluten free - I eat these because they are delicious! I had been eating them for years before I even noticed the "GF" label on the bag. Now I get them for all my friends who ARE gluten free. The molasses cookies and strawberry muffins and apple cakes - when in season - are amazing as well.

I can only attest for the cookies here! When I am in a mood or want a sweet treat I go to padoca for their gooey chocolate chip cookies! It's huge, perfect chew to crunch ratio. I dare say this is the best cookie in all of nyc

Second cake we ordered this month: six-inch hotdog cake - orange olive oil cake with vanilla mascarpone filling. I have to say, it might be better than the chocolate cake. Best, moistest olive oil cake we've ever had. And look at the adorable hotdogs !

Padoca Bakery saved me when I needed a last minute all black cake for my bff bday party. I didn't want to spend a fortune either. This bakery did me right. I was able to place an order online for pick up which was an absolute life saver. The cake was absolutely delicious! I got a vanilla cake with vanilla mascarpone and it was so moist and delicious! Thank You again and I can't wait to try your other pastries in the near future!!

Always smiling employees whenever I stop by. Got the pao de queijo and it always hits home. Don't forget to ask for a warm one (if they have any) because they are always much better warmed up! Their apricot cherry scones are also amazing if you're looking for a sweet treat!

I ordered a small sheet cake from Padoca Bakery for a baby shower. You place your customizable order on their website and then can send a separate email with any specific instructions, such as what you'd like for an inscription and any notes about delivery. I did local delivery, which is $20. They were very quick to confirm the details from my first email. On the day of, I was able to track delivery, which I appreciated. The cake looked great and tasted even better! I had ordered a small pink sprinkle celebration sheet cake with vanilla cake and silky Biscoff cookie butter filling/vanilla buttercream. The cake was moist and flavorful, with the cookie butter filling tasting mostly like caramel. It was a thick cake, so I'd recommend leaving it at room temperature for the full suggested two hours before serving. I highly recommend Padoca Bakery for any of your bakery needs! The pao de queijo are great too and I can't wait to try the brigadeiros next.
