La Guli Pastry Shop - 29-15 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria, NY 11105718.728.5612
N/W Train to Ditmars Blvd (last stop)
La Guli has been an Astorian institution for over 71 years--in fact, it still operates from its original location. An endearing pastry shop serving all your favorite sweet essentials, they offer custom cakes, pastries, cookies, gelato and everything in between. My mom and I walked in on Mother's Day to get a treat for my dad and our attention was immediately caught by the colorful marzipan fruit and the impressive-looking cannolis. Besides that, the entire shop was decked with all sorts of Mother's Day paraphernalia such as chocolate lollipops, cakes and even custom packages of chocolate covered strawberries.
I have to be frank, La Guli is pricey but the quality of their treats is so great that I highly recommend it. Here's a sampling of their goodies. A beautiful thing which has to be mentioned is that they sell homemade gelato all year round--not many pastry shops in the area could say the same.
Gelato (various flavors including chocolate, hazelnut and pistachio): $2.50 per scoop
Cannolis (regular or chocolate dipped): $2.25 - $2.50
Marzipan fruit: $22 per pound or $3.50 per piece
Apple Lattice Square: $1.75
Custom Cakes for Birthdays, Weddings or other Special Occasions: Individually priced
I highly recommend their cannolis and gelato--the scoops are large and I'm usually good with just one. They stay open pretty late both on weekdays (9p) and weekends (8p on Sunday).
