“ Hands down the best black and white cookie. William Greenberg was recently at the Sunday Funday event for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and they were absolutely delicious. William Greenberg catered our event for the second year and have to echo my sentiments that they are incredible. Highly recommend! ”
“ The linzer cookies and raspberry thumbprint cookies are amazing! They remind me of being in Switzerland. I love the palmiers, too! Black and whites are still delicious after all these years. ”
“ Theres a line, so you know its got something! Hamentaschen were good. Didnt get some of their newer flavors although they sound interesting indeed but the standards prune, poppyseed, apricot were delicious. ”

“ I made an online order from California and there was a mishap with the delivery address. After a few attempts of correcting it someone contacted me to apologize for the mistake and they made sure I received my order at the correct address. It was a gift for someone but I got to try the Black and White cookie and it was delicious! It was my first time trying one but the person I gifted them to is a connoisseur and gave them a 1010 and will now be ordering from here as well. I will also be ordering for myself as I am a former New Yorker and miss certain baked goods with this authenticity. I appreciate how they handled everything kindly and professionally and am satisfied with both the service and the product. ”
