American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Such an amazing café and definitely a spot worth checking out! 🤍 Their cookies are SO delicious, fresh, and seriously addicting! 🍪 Their refreshers are super refreshing and flavorful, and the coffee is always so good too! The customer service is also so sweet, friendly, and welcoming. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing, and I definitely recommend stopping by and trying them out! 🥰 Problem Baker is truly the best and the owners are more than amazing!

🍪☕ Problem Baker absolutely lives up to its motto: Cookies, Coffee, Culture. The cookies were incredible, but the hospitality was what really won me over. Huge shoutout to Bilal, Bri, and Bayaan for making me feel so welcome! 🙌 Bayaan went above and beyond to make sure my latte was made exactly the way I wanted it. ☕ As a dad of a daughter with Celiac disease, I really appreciated Bilal’s honesty and care. While they don’t have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, he explained they can prepare two cookie flavors gluten-free with advance notice and takes every precaution to avoid cross-contamination. That level of transparency meant a lot. ❤️ I took home a six-cookie box with the S’mores, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal, 7 Layer, Oreo Cookies & Cream, and Brownie cookies—and they were a huge hit with the kids! 🍪 I will definitely be back for one of their cookie ice cream sandwiches next. 🍦 Great cookies bring you in, but outstanding people are what keep you coming back. Highly recommend!

From the drinks to the cookies, everything was amazing!!! The service is always a 10/10 with such a warm, family like vibe. They’re incredibly accommodating whether it’s fixing your drink just the way you like it or warming up your cookies to perfection. The team works so well together to keep the shop in tip top shape, and it truly makes you want to keep coming back. I absolutely love this shop and the owners!💗🍪☕️🍵

This place is truly a hidden gem! I can’t believe it took me so long to come by. If you enjoy real matcha and not the DD crap then this place is a must try. I only walked in with the expectation of cookies but turned out that their matcha strawberry drink is the best I’ve tried. Beats the spots in the city for sure! 10/10

This cute little shop located in the north shore of Staten Island, is definitely a hit. My mom wanted to try it and honestly it didn't disappoint. They had about 20 cookies to choose from my mom got the Dubai Chocolate cookie which was the perfect crispy edge and soft and delicious in the middle. The coffee was strong and tasty and the service was great and attentive. Just make sure you're ready to spend $20 for one cookie and 2 coffees although it is high in price, if stays consistent it's worthy. I wish them luck and will be back try the other flavors.see you there 💛
