Martha's Country Bakery - Bayside

Martha's land bakery is an amazing place to get dessert and bakery goodies. they also have a cappuccino and beverage section. You are a few tables to sit and eat or have your drinks. This 0lacw very typically very crowded. So if you want to dine, you'll get there early or prepare to wait. There is also a bathroom to use.

I've ordered here a few times. Depending on the time you arrive at this bakery, there can be a long line or no line. While strawberry shortcake is my favorite, I decided to try their red velvet hot chocolate and red velvet cupcake. They did not disappoint! I thought it was cute how the cupcake had heart shaped sprinkles to celebrate Valentine's Day! Highly recommend.

First time here- went with a few friends. Pretty open on a Wednesday around 3-4pm. Ample seating. It looks like they have an incredible amount of desserts and drinks to choose from! They also have vegan options. We tried their brownie and chocolate chunk cookie with ice cream. The brownie is on more of the cake side, and contains walnuts. The cookie was a decent size (think Applebees' old cookie sundae but for personal size). They were both served warm with vanilla ice cream! I'd definitely go back to try more options!

I rate this place 4 out of 5 stars because the desserts are really hit or miss. I would say most desserts are above average, some are out of this world, and the rest are not very good at all. I have been here a few times and this is my first review of the place.Let me start by saying there are a lot of tables inside and it gets very crowded after dinner time. There are not many sit-in dessert places on bell blvd so many people come here. You may be inches away from the next table but the seating is comfortable and turnover is quick.This particular time that I went, I ordered a slice of berry pie with ice cream and a slice of triple chocolate mousse cake. The berry pie had a crumb top which was nice and toasty. The berries gave the pie a nice tart flavor while the crumb topping added a nice textural component. The flavors of the pie complemented the scoop of vanilla ice cream. The mix of warm and cold and tart and sweet is just amazing. The triple chocolate mousse is made of a layer of white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate mousse sandwiched in between layers of dark chocolate cake. I typically do not enjoy desserts that are overly chocolately but somehow this cake breaks that rule. All 3 chocolate mousse layers as well as the cake are rich in chocolate flavor without being achingly sweet. I don’t think I could have finished the piece in one sitting but the few bites I had were heavenly.
