How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Loved the atmosphere and lovely desserts here!! We tried their lemon mousse cake, and it was the best sweet that I ever tried before! Also Stephanie was so nice and kind :) Definitely worth to visit again!

My usual go to place is Zeppola’s for the bombolone and rolly croissants but I decided to check out Angelina’s. It was so disappointing. Both croissant and bombolones tasted stale. I just ended up wasting $30 on grocery store level past...

Hello everyone, From the day my boyfriend has introduced me to this place I loved it, the chocolate croissant was to die for, that is the only reason we visit the bakery, but recently it has come across my attention that the croissants are...

I went to eat a croissant (house specialty) at dusk. The croissant was hard, seemed old, and tasteless. The server was not friendly at all. Simple place, not cozy. I do not recommend it.

Crowded Space and Slow Service

Reviewers complain about long wait times, disorganized ordering lines, and cramped seating during busy hours.

Long Wait times for drinks given the poor organization + understaffed sales team

2★ · 2026-06-02

Service and people working there are great but the products and experience are bad. Nothing to what it is supposed to be... it is a generic place like or worse than Starbucks. Hard to find quality pastries and coffee in NY.

Good for

  • Quick grab-and-go sweet treats
  • Trying flavored croissants and bomboloni
  • Finding sit-down space on the second floor

Avoid if

  • Looking for budget-friendly bakery items
  • Hoping to avoid long lines or crowded spaces
  • Seeking specialty coffee drinks
