Strudel, macaroons, rugelach—it can be hard to find faithful reproductions of Old-World baked goods, but not when you have Scaresdale Pastry Center in your neighborhood. The bakery proudly serves a host of European-style favorites, from flaky croissants to eggy challah to a full range of Austrian-style cookies.

But their most famous treat is a Scarsdale original: filled with chocolate and dipped in chocolate and named after the famous star of stage and screen, the Sarah Bernhardt cookie is a local favorite. And the Scarsdale Bakery Center continues the cookie's legacy by serving it each day from the bakery's sweets-filled display cases. In addition to cookies and pastries, the shop also whips up cakes for all occasions. Popular options include multi-tiered wedding cakes, personalized birthday cakes, and raspberry mousse domes suitable for Passover and other special occasions.
