Rockaway Beach Bakery for Donuts, Crumb Cake and Coffee

Pick up donuts and crumb cake at a Rockaway Beach bakery where cyclists refuel at a small counter over coffee.

Know which bakes to grab first.

🍪 Crumb Cake and Original Cookies

Fresh bakes come out daily at The Fat Cardinal Provisions, a cozy Rockaway Beach bakery on Beach 92nd Street. Locals return for the donuts, fudgy brownies, original recipe cookies, and moist crumb cake, with scones and pies rounding out the case.

Many drop in for sweets to go, though a small counter inside leaves room for a morning pastry and a cup of coffee. Cyclists riding through the Rockaways treat it as a regular refuel stop, and friendly service keeps the room warm. The kitchen also specializes in custom-made cakes for a later celebration.

The shop opens at 9 AM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, closing at 6 PM. Saturday runs from 8 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with Wednesday as the day off at 196 Beach 92nd Street in Queens.
