Martha's Country Bakery - Astoria

I love this place but something was just off tonight. We were a large party, seated after 20 min which is great for a Saturday night, seated in the area where the take out line is. Anyway, we sat for a good 10 min (maybe more) and had to ask the manager when someone was going to come take our order. She was shocked that no one came to our table since she welcomed us on our way in so she knew how long we were sitting there. The server came and took our order and brought out water. We were served without utensils. We thought he was coming back with them but he never came back so we had to ask for utensils. Then we were ready to go and waited forever for the check. Upon getting ready to leave (still waiting for my credit card to come back) i asked another server if i could get something to go. She tells me sure join the line. WHAT?! I just dined in and now I have to wait in that long take out line to get something to go??? I asked for my leftovers to be packed and when i got home i realized some of my items weren't packed . I am not accustomed to this type of service at Martha's. I come here often. I dont know if they have some new staff working there or whats going on exactly but it wasn't a pleasant experience. We couldn't wait to get out of there tonight.

A superb place to try cakes and desserts. the staff is super friendly. a small note : the cakes are too dense, so two can share one slice

I love there desserts! If you are in Astoria you have to visit

Service is great& friendly. Some of the items are not that fresh but overal everything is delicious at this place!

Thank you for making my daughter's favorite cake (red velvet reality, she wanted for her birthday peppa pig and it was awesome.. I had to travel with the cake to new jersey (bc this is the only cake my daughter eats and the manager offer the cake frozen since it was hot this way the cake could survived the 2 hours trip. Update again: Better much better .... I can give back my 5starts to this place again
