Used to love going to their "store" in Bay Shore and load up on low priced baked goodies LOL (some went in the freezer); raspberry danish--yummeee! Black marks $1 each, red a little higher
It's still there, but with very little inventory and lots of other things which I can get for less on sale (if I wanted to buy them) - not worth the trip anymore IMHO.

Long gone, although I think until pretty recently the sign was still hanging up on their old office building in Glen Cove.

Is the factory still there in Bay Shore, or is it just an outlet (like in Mineola)? Somebody told me it closed, haven't been down Fifth Avenue in quite a few years now.

Last time I was there (last year) it was still there but could be closed now; I remember there was talk about it. So I'm not sure

Like I said, i was by there last month and still smelled the freshly baked goods.


as far as buying from thier store, did it once and never again. they sell the returned product from the stores a day b4 expiring and sell t through thier factory store. disgusting!
