    Black-and-white cookies are as essential to New York cuisine as bagels and pastrami sandwiches. For the best, head to Glaser's: The cookies are cakey, with a schmear of the famous frosting. Read more

    Almost everything is incredible, authentic, like grandma baking. Especially recommend the danishes, the pies, kitchen sink cookie, and earthquake cake. Great little cookies too.

    Yo when a bakery has been been around for 109 years it's amazing but to be here in the UES in NYC even more so! Apple crumble pie: Crazy! Apple rhubarb pie:Bananas! Black and whites: Outstanding!

    TRY EVERYTHING. I’ve been coming here my entire life, and they never disappoint. My favorites are the cookies—except for the black &white, because they frost instead of glaze, which is blasphemous

    Best black and whites in nyc. The icing was so moist. Another amazing treat I had here were chocolate chip cookie squares, which I possibly liked even more.

    Friendliest staff. Everything's delicious, but my favorite's the kitchen sink cookie. It has everything, including potato chips, and it's magical.

    Black and white cookies are unbelievably good. But they're closing up shop in July (owners are retiring) so time to start stockpiling cookies

    Omg the rainbow cookie was the best I've ever tasted. Like unbelievably fresh, homemade, and perfect meld of flavors.

    Established 1902 and continuously family owned and operated with some remodeling. The coal oven was originally in the basement, but moved upstairs in the 1950s.

    B&W cookies are the real deal - they're not as pretty as the ones at William Greenberg's, but they also don't cost $5ea. Snag some minis for the road, too.

    Their B&W cookie is really different, and good value at 2.50. Worth the trip.

    Everything a bakery should be and more. Chocolate Pudding Pie like my grammy used to make and sourdough on Wednesdays that barely makes it to Thursday at our place. But the best thing? The staff!

    So the Dept of Health closed this place 12/23 siting a number of issue. Nostalgic place for sure but health standards need to be net, regardless.
