Stephenie DimakopoulosJuly 9, 2013I feel cool when I get a ticket for my place in line. Good cupcakes, too.
Olivia PritchettAugust 22, 2014This place is completely overrated. I stood & observed the staff & only 2 seemed to be pleasant. Also the food is not that great & the prices WAY over-the-top. Go to Little Italy instead.
Nancy ChungApril 19, 2017paid 11$ for a single serve cheesecake cup w strawberry that kinda tasted like it was supposed to be healthy (like it waa made with tofu). not goin back... getting my cannolis in little Italy
Elisabeth GuptillJune 25, 2015SAVE YOUR MONEY. Totally not worth 30 minutes in line. Honestly the cupcakes and cookies tasted like something you could buy at the grocery.
Filipe PalmaAugust 24, 2015Quality bakery items, but extremely long lines and disorganization is a turn off. Be prepared to wait 20/25 minutes for a cupcake when busy
Sara BakraaSeptember 1, 2014Save your money and calories ya'll!! Go get a lemon cake from starbucks better!! 😥🔫
Srinivas VasudevanMarch 26, 2015There is only one counter and always a slow line. I had to catch a bus, so left the place as the line was moving really slow.
Paige CJune 22, 2015Not authentic at all. It's a shame how commercialized Buddy has become. The baked goods were very disappointing and anything but "original."
M WolpertFebruary 24, 2013Chocolate mouse cake is dry and overpriced. Buddy do you ever taste this mass produced stuff? A tasty cake tastes better.
Howard WongApril 3, 2013Holly crap this place is expensive small cheesecake for $9.50 be prepared to cough up more cash then usual. And stay away from the cookies they are just blah
Andrea LevyApril 5, 2013Don't go in but do check out the oversized bobble head Buddy on the. 8th Ave side!
Majed AlashariNovember 17, 2017Poor cup cake. Very long queue & finally average cake. Doesn't worth visiting
Fred GeigerMay 5, 2013Overpriced? People say that? Do you know you are on 42nd and 8th? This is prime real estate... What'd you think, that you'd go to a mom and pop bakery? In Times Square? Musta been tourists....
