Since their commencement, the bakery has produced fresh baked goods daily. The bakery has intricate architecture, wide planked floors and extremely high ceiling’s. It was built originally by Diane’s brother, Albert.

Cater to who?
Most of Diane’s frequent customers are locals from Roslyn, New York. However, people will come from all over Long Island to try one of Diane’s famous pastries, or their hazelnut coffee that you can smell from across the Roslyn pond. Most of the regulars know the staff by name, or at least by face. Most residents of Roslyn regularly go to Diane’s, or have at least been before. Diane’s is reasonably priced and has the most unique pastries and baked goods in town. The bakery is good for walk-ins, catering, take-out, and is kid-friendly. Overall, the bakery has been a staple for the north shore community, a reliable place to get coffee and a scone while you catch up with a colleague, or a post-workout healthy meal with your goof friend.

The Sweet and the Savory
The bakery prepares muffins, cookies, pies tarts, rugalach, cakes, muffins, scones, breads and more. Each baked good is made from scratch and in tiny batches because the mentre here is that a small batch makes a huge difference [2]. Additionally, all of their splendid baked goods pair beautifully with their freshly brewed coffee. Diane’s has a wide selection of savory foods as well as their renown sweets.

Diane’s bakery recently opened a prepared foods section in the back of the store. Here, they have a lot of fresh, healthy food options for lunch or an early dinner. The prepared foods are just as high quality as their baked goods, usually forming a line through the back door and around the store. During the summertime especially, the place is absolutely packed. They have all different types of ‘clean-eats’, like salads, salmon, chicken, mixed greens, vegetables, etc. There are spaces to eat outside on their patio (which seems to be a hit during the summer), booths by the prepared foods area, and about 15 more tables in their cozy upstairs seating.
