Janie's Life-Changing Baked Goods

"Got the signature pie crust and toffee nut cookie. The signature pie crust did not disappoint and was delicious. Street parking available in area. Note that there are no seats for this shop."

"The triple berry pie crust cookie was INCREDIBLE, a delicious and unique dessert like no other. I also had the half baked chocolate chip cookie. It was soft, chewy, and crunchy and the chocolate itself was really good too. Cheap prices too which makes it a go to spot."

"I’ve heard recently about this cute bakery in the UWS. A much needed visit was in the works. It’s small bakery, nestled in a residential area. The display of goodies had so much to offer! I decided on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Croissant. Oh my!!! This dessert is just intense in a good way. Flaky goodness wrapped in chocolate chips and cookie dough (plus lightly heated from home) is just heavenly! If you’re in the area please pay them a visit and you won’t be disappointed!"

"$3/ cookie; but they’re medium-sized (in diameter) and generous in volume (height) and rich with ingredients, textures and flavors. So I’d say that I know a lot of New York specialty bakers who would charge significantly more. I’ve been in and out of the UWS since 2018 and I never noticed this place. Reportedly, they opened at this location in 2020. They have another location in WV. The shop is tiny, you can fit something like 3 customers in the store at once max. It’s on W 80th just off Broadway and you enter the store by walking down a small flight of stairs from the street. It has the cookie display glass and it doesn’t look like they sell anything else. Maybe coffee/ breakfast beverages but i didn’t see any other pastries is what I mean. I got the sweet potato cookie because that seemed quite special. It was delicious —the texture was perfectly executed: it was soft and tender on the inside but sturdy and held together; the flavor pairings were interesting and delicious; and it wasn’t excessively sweet which I appreciate because that can often be the case. Excellent cookie. However I do not think I will go back, mostly because of the limited array of pastry types to select from. e.g. I would love to see cinnamon rolls or challah or cruffins or babka rolls or donuts etc. with the same flavor options. That would be great ! :)"
