New York West Pastry & Bake Shop 10101 West Grand Avenue, Sun City, AZ 85351

"The pastries here are delicious and remind me of home. So whenever i need my fix, this is the place to go! The cannoli filling is perfect."

"What a great selection of sweet treats (tortes, pastries & donuts). They also carry freshly baked breads, rolls and buns. The carrot cake is the best I’ve ever tasted. The cream cheese icing is not overly sweet and the cake itself is dense and delicious. The staff is gracious and the owner introduces herself and shakes your hand. Old fashioned service is not dead!!"

"Let me start by saying I found this place on accident while at work. I must say I’m glad I found it. I stopped it once a week and fill up on goodies. From the picture below, you can tell many of them never make it home. I grew up in the Midwest and we take pride in our bakeries. This is the first place in the valley that reminds me I’m home. The place is truly nostalgic. The owners are good people. The place is clean and sweets are always delicious. Thank you and I wish you the best"

"NOTHING HAD PRICES NO MENU BOARD NO PRICES ON THE DONUTS PASTRY IS CAKES PIES. AND FROM THE STREET IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK OPEN WITH ALL THE STUFF PILED UP IN THE WINDOWS... YOU CAN HAVE SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING FOOD , BUT IF NOTHING IS PRICED IT'S HARD TO PICK OUT ALL THE ITEMS YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO SPEND.... I WAS TRULY SHOCKED IT COST $16 FOR TWO REGULAR DONUTS AND A BREAKFAST SANDWICH... JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES BELOW IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME ABOUT THAT LACK OF PRICING IN THE STORY..."

"I was really excited to try this bakery but it was a very sad experience. We stopped by at 5:30 am so we could get there right after they opened. Unfortunately, the operating hours were incorrect in Apple Maps so they were still closed when we arrived. No biggie, I submitted an edit to Apple Maps for change of hours while we waited for the bakery to open. I was a little nervous when we saw just one car in the parking lot. I would expect for there to be an entire staff of bakers to be there before opening but maybe they all came in one car, who knows? The cases were all stocked full of cookies, cakes, pastries, donuts, and breads. I was a little suspicious that the cases were so full at open with nearly no staff inside. There was an alarm going off in the back and it never got turned off the entire time we were shopping. The lobby was in disarray. It looked like maybe they were moving furniture in or out…just a pile in the corner. Old furniture was laying on the sidewalk outside the bakery as well. We got an assortment of items to try. Chocolate cigar, Raspberry Cigar, Honey Bun, Chocolate glazed donut, Cherry and cheese pastry, and a couple things I don’t know the name of. I didn’t see the name tag for them. Unfortunately, we didn’t enjoy any of the things we tried and threw the whole box away. The pastries were dry and stale, the chocolate fillings were really hard and it was something we couldn’t get through. The fillings inside all of the pastries were hard and ICE COLD. The pastries tasted as if they may have been frozen. The pastries weren’t light, fluffy, and buttery as a pastry should be. The pastry was dry, stale, and slightly chewy. We didn’t even taste some of the other pastries after trying a couple of the others. The textures were off. I did try to warm one up to see if it helped, but it was not good. The pastry just became more chewy and the filling was still cold and hard inside. It was just weird. The best thing that we tried was the chocolate glazed donut. It was soft and not stale at all. The chocolate glaze was a little bit too sweet, but it was still okay. Typical glazed donut, nothing particularly special. We also bought some buns to try. They are a little on the dry side right out of the bag. These might taste better warmed up. Not sure about that, but maybe. We tried their cookies…butter cookies maybe? No label on them at all. They weren’t terrible. I’m not a fan of this kind of cookie anyway. They tasted the same as every other cookie like that that we have tried. Light crumb, lightly sweet, not super buttery. We spent about $35 on the whole purchase. We would not recommend this bakery, unfortunately. We really had hope but are sorely disappointed."
