Their rainbow cookies tasted just slightly better than ones you pick up at a supermarket- they even had those telltale chocolate sprinkles. If they hadn't been so fresh I would have sworn that's where they were from.
Omg service was slow when I stopped in the other day. They did have a long line but I think I waited 20 minutes to get my Irish soda bread ( it was good FYI) didn't try anything else but must be good if line was long. Will have to try more goodies next time.
They have Irish soda bread during St. Patty's, and it is delish! Donuts are made fresh daily here, too! This bakery has been around forever and is basically a neighborhood fixture. I don't live in the area, but I used to go to school in Maspeth, and this place pre-dates my time there. They are extremely friendly here and the baked goods are impressively fresh & tasty!
A little quick explanation into the 3 stars.
5 Stars for being an awesome mom & pop shop where everyone knows the owners.
5 Stars for bright smiles and kind customer service.
4 Stars for pretty good quality bagels (not sure if they bake it themselves) They are crispy, airy, sweet and chewy.
4 Stars for great Iced coffee
3 Stars for the lack of cream cheese on them (maybe that's a good thing)
2 Stars for the glacier pace they serve patrons. If you're in a rush to catch a bus or if you're already late for work, you should think twice about coming here. They sorta move like snails. It took about 15 min from start to finish. Maybe a bad day, but they need to change the production back there. Two dedicated cooks, 2 servers and 1 cashier. Right now, everyone does… well everything.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the neighborhood, but Glendale Bakery has a special place in my heart. Firstly, their pretzel rolls are the best. Perfectly crispy and salty, while nice and soft on the inside. Their regular rolls are delicious too. They don't make 'em like that out here on Staten Island. Their breakfast sandwiches are always spot on. Probably because of the rolls. Honestly, I don't know what it is about those rolls, but trust me- they are good. And of course, I have to shout out their chocolate cream pie, which makes an appearance at every family gathering. It's not a holiday without a chocolate cream pie from Glendale.
Glendale makes solid breakfast sandwiches in the area! Like others said they still have the 70's decor with wood paneling but something about that is what i like. All of the girls/ladies are very nice! Seriously there is a sign behind the register that says " Customers come first. Everything else can wait" . For that service alone- they deserve 4 stars! If only every place was like this! Anyhoo this is the low down. Coffee is good but not strong. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the garlic,swiss roll that they started making not that long ago. Oh my god seriously I've never had a roll that I loved as much as this one! Get it for any type of sandwhich or alone! Lastly, the pretzel rolls with (cream cheese) is off the hook. I've had various pastries and nothing has ever been bad.
