Long Island has a hidden gem bakery in Eastport — and it is one of the most whimsical, joyful spaces I have ever walked into.
Jerri’s Cakery and Queen Bee Bakes on Montauk Highway is the kind of place that makes you feel like you stepped into a dream. Oversized gummy bears hanging from the ceiling. Macaron and baguette shaped pillows lining the benches. And cookie bouquets so stunning I genuinely thought they were real flowers. I stood there for a full minute before I realized.
The selection is extraordinary. Cupcakes, cakes, sourdough, hot cross buns, rugelach, cannolis, brownies, seasonal breads, gluten free options and a rotating selection that keeps you coming back. And those dirty sodas — my niece said it best. And she was not wrong.
They even have baked goods for your dog. Because of course they do.
And Queen Bee herself — a friend I hadn’t seen in far too long — is every bit as sweet and joyful as the place she helps create. The warmth in this space is impossible to miss. This is not just a bakery. It is a whole experience.
If you are looking for something truly special on the East End — this is it. Jerri’s Cakery and Queen Bee Bakes has been quietly creating magic in Eastport and it deserves every bit of attention it gets.

Eastport Sunrises are the best sunrises!
Like how lucky am I that I get to drink my coffee and watch this every morning while I work? It’s like a magical vacation. Except for, you know, the work part…
And sometimes it really does just get too bright. Thank goodness for @paireyewear so I can still wear my prescription and have my sunnies on. Also guys everyone comes in thinking I own dozens of pairs of glasses. Nope! I just change the vibe with these cute little magnetic top frames I get from Pair.
And no I am not sponsored by them I just love them! My work outfit is the same every day it’s nice to add some personality to my uniform. This is my version of fancy jewelry!
Getting these organic white French sourdough sandwich loaves ready for @oceanfogfarm
Hit the farm stand to grab fresh bread and eggs and brunch is served! Don’t forget the flowers!!!!
Prosecco EVERYTHING!
Shoutout to Casey @thetipsyduck for always giving me the best recommendations. This prosecco was not too sweet and bonus it’s organic so it was perfect in prosecco marshmallows and prosecco rice crispy treats and prosecco mousse.
Love working with all the local businesses in Eastport to make magical things happen.
I have a guy!
Finding a good repair guy for bakery equipment is ESSENTIAL and William from @williams_mechanical is my guy! Now you have a guy! Call him I can’t endorse him enough.
Our 80 year old Hobart Mary went for the full spa treatment with William. She got fresh grease, a brand new electrical cord, and a bearing to keep her running another 80 years. When you rely on your equipment to keep business going knowing you have someone who cares as much as you do is imperative.
I have his number saved in my phone obviously but his card lives on the oven so it’s always where we need it! Grab the number and save it in your phone guys! @jerricakesdotcom and @queenbeebakesdotcom would never consider using anyone else William is our guy!
