If you happen to visit the North Shore of Long Island, stop by Junda’s Pastry Crust & Crumbs for a tasty treat. All of the goods are made with locally grown produce and the finest ingredients. With such naturally good and special ingredients, you can really taste the difference in each and every biscotti or roll. The charming country bakery is an East End favorite for its luscious fruit-filled pies and crispy breads. Nestled in the heart of the North Fork wine country, the shop is a welcome treat for locals, as well as those in town enjoying the vineyards, beaches or antique shops. In fact, Junda's bakery is located in a refurbished 1700s farmhouse, which lends even further appeal to this rustic dessert hotspot.

Popular treats featured at Junda's are the mouthwatering linzer tarts, dripped in chocolate ganache sandwich cookies, and (cool for kids) holiday, flower and animal-shaped cookies. The sweet haven is owned by Helen and Christopher Junda. Chris, a renowned pastry chef, has worked at swanky hotels (The Plaza and Garden City) and top of the line country clubs (the Westbury). At their European style bakery, the Junda's cook up everything from traditional breads and rolls to scrumptious Italian pastries and apple or cheese strudels.
