Gian Piero Bakery

Yum! Stopped in just for rainbow cookies because I had a craving and left with a box full of treats😍 Everything looked and tastes so yummy and fresh. Definitely recommend stopping in.

Incredible bakery. I enjoy their bread, their cannoli’s and cheesecake. I try cheesecake from different places and the cheesecake here has a great balance of flavor. I like to pair it with a black ice coffee no sugar, cappuccino if i feel like crashing out or just plain water. The best! The seats outside make it really comfortable in warm days. Makes you go like “wow I really am in Astoria” Nice place for a date

A bakery that excels on every level 🥇🥇 Authentic Italian breads, pastries, & cookies. Walking in gives you the aura of being outside NYC. Warm hospitality with a smile 😊. I was ecstatic with all the goodies on display. Took me a while to decide what to indulge in. The apple tart was outstanding and so were the lemon eclairs. Love the outdoor seating with church bells tolling from the corner. BEST of the BEST 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I come here often for Italian pastries and breads. And the one thing I look forward to every year is their Saint Joseph's pastries which are both only available around the holiday of patron Saint Joseph. The Saint Joseph is a puff pastry filled inside with cannoli cream and topped with a dollop of cannoli cream on top and the Saint Joseph sfingy is a puff pastry filled with custard and topped with a dollop of custard and some candied orange peels and cherry. Yesterday I went to pickup some of each and when I got home and opened the cake box the Saint Joseph looked like they forgot to put the cannoli cream inside and when I lifted off the top half of the puff pastry I saw a small low profile swirl of cannoli cream only in the very center not even covering the whole width of the bottom half of the puff pastry, and the same for the same for the Saint Joseph sfingy. I'm not sure if it has to do with the high prices of eggs but they could have at least put on enough filling in a single layer to cover the whole pastry base so you won't bite into a completely dry rim of pastry before actually getting to the filling that makes it worth the once a year wait. And for 3 of each version totaling 6 pastries little over $31.00. It was disappointing.

I’ve been coming to this place for a couple years. It’s been consistent with the flavors and the people that work there are very kind and polite. I understand the price of the cookies because you need to weigh those by pound. That makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is that you’re now charging by pound for your pastries. I don’t see any other bake shop in Astoria doing that. My most recent purchases of the pastries have been charged by weight and it’s now more than double the price. That’s just greedy.
