Stanley’s Baker: East Islip 

Consistency has been key for this South Shore sweet shop, Stanley’s Bakery has been serving breads, pastries, specialty cakes and even some amazing breakfast sandwiches for more than 70 years. A classic favorite is their jelly doughnuts, which are known to sell out pretty quickly. Fondant may be pretty but customers who opt for buttercream aren’t settling at all. It’s light, fluffy and makes any occasion extra special. Don’t pass up on their quiches and our favorite, their fresh made bacon, egg sand cheeses on your favorite roll.
