Love this place. Only place I'll buy pastry from. Been going here for close to 20 years and you can't go wrong. Love the Zeppoles they make during St Joseph's Day and Easter holidays. Three different styles, the traditional one with the custard style filling, one with ricotta cheese and one with Bailey's Irish creme liquer in it. The rest of the pastry is terrific also. Custom birthday cakes come out very nice. Frosting is so-so but you can change to whipped cream or butter cream frosting if you prefer. I believe there's an extra charge though. Like one other reviewer stated about the calzones/logs be careful if you are looking for meat free. The staff behind the counter don't know for sure what's inside 100% so they guess and many times what wrong. Better off special ordering them if you know you'll need some ahead of time. read more

This bakery went under new ownership in October 2019 and it's definitely an improvement in my opinion. The cookies are great, cannoli are the best I've had, and the savory items (spinach ring OMG) are delicious. I live in Providence and go out of my way to get here. read more

I have used used Borrelli's for my baby shower and my boy's 1st birthday. Both times I was extremely happy with not only the overall look of the specialty cakes I ordered, but they were absolutely delicious too. Everyone has always been a pleasure to work with. Would absolutely come back again! read more

Very yummylicious treats every time I go there! Great pizza chips, too! So tasty! Cakes and pastries are fresh and delicious!

Borrelli's is the "go-to" bakery in town if you want something indulgent and quick without being super fancy in my home. So when it came time for my daughters baby shower, I thought Borrelli's would be just fine. I brought in an invitation with a design that closely matched something they had created before. I asked for the design and colors to be more feminine, the baby's name on the cake, and the cake to be marble. I placed the order along with a deposit three weeks in advance. The day prior to the baby shower, I received a call saying they had sold out of the marble cake and was unable to provide what I asked for. I had to select a smaller cake or a different flavor. Really!? Unprofessional at best and clearly too late to go elsewhere. The next morning when I picked up, the girl was extremely unhelpful in answering why they couldn't fulfill the order correctly and took a mere $15 off a $150 cake. Furthermore the name was written in white on the white cardboard cake holder and the box was inadequate to transport the cake so they cut the top off. Sadly, we won't be patronizing this business again. read more

Went to my sisters for Christmas and someone brought a spinach pie ring from borrellis. Absolutely fantastic. Extremely fresh and packed with cheese, pepperoni and spinach. I have to make a trip to Coventry to try the other goodies they offer! read more

Great local bakery. Love the donuts when they have them, raspberry twists, and their bread is always fresh!

I've bought about 5 birthday cakes from them now and have enjoyed them all, but today I got the chocolate mousse cake and.... OMG. It was super moist, incredibly rich. It was just an AWESOME chocolate cake. read more

Best pastry shop ever! From the cakes to the pizza strips to the calzones.... i love it all!!!! Great prices and people are all very friendly! The new owner is doing an amazing job!! read more

Worth the Drive!! There's this guy see, let's call him Georgy. Georgy is a punisher. The type of person who loves to torture others with food but not just any food, pastries and cakes from Borrelli's. Before this guy starts bringing their stuff around, the only other Borelli I ever heard of was a fine shirtmaker in Naples. It is tough to paint this picture so that you can perceive the true nature of Georgy. First he brings this cake last summer to our get together that is a scale replica of a Classic Burger - picnic style. Sesame bun, yellow cheese, bib lettuce and burger patty. Now when I say scale model, it really looks like someone carved this out of foam and spray painted it, movie style. They even added giant plastic ants - also to scale - to simulate those big black ants that are always running over the top of state park tables. Imagine if you will, a group of 11 people, late afternoon, smoking cigars with just enough time away from lunch to need a little sugar snack. Who's going to mutilate this cake that looks like it won some award on TV? What if it is just all sugar and no taste? Who gets to take home the ants? Can you begin to see the devious nature of the one called Georgy? Anyway, the cake was sliced up and enjoyed. Surprisingly not very sweet but extremely flavorful. Frosting was rich without the vegetable shortening aftertaste, cake inside was moist with its own tasty-goodness. A true balance of flavor, sweetness and moistness. So as the months pass, there are the Crab Cakes, Turkeys, Snowmen, Halloween Cakes, fruit tarts, carrot cakes, an apple pie that I would do prison time for as well as hundreds of small format pastries and cookies. They all have the same attention to detail and prepared by people who understand when not to over sweeten their cakes. All of this from the simple store front in Coventry. Enjoy read more

Let me preface with the fact that when you enter a bakery or deli outside the state of New York, one should lower your expectations drastically... That said, this bakery sucks. It is barely a Bakery when the shelves are not filled with pastries. I walked in looking for some crumb buns, or crumb cakes, and they did not make them... Really? I asked about fresh breads and they had a very limited selection. The fact that some counters were totally empty was sad. I asked about linzer tarts, I don't think they knew what one was. I recommend the owner of this bakery go to a NY Bakery, take some notes and return to RI with the best of the best. They could stand out if they had more to offer, but when I can get the same items at stop n shop, that's silly. I want to go to a good bakery so that I can get what I can't get or don't want to get at stop n shop! I'm tired of being disappointed at all of these places around here! I'm hoping this place can do better. I will stop in again to see. read more

Borrelli's was my first bakery when I first moved to RI several years ago. Since then, I have moved closer to Providence but still find myself in Coventry on occasion and stop in for the odd nibble. When I first went there I was wowed by the freshness and the 'local' atmosphere. It was great to see folks come in just for bread. The locals also go here for the cake and pizza strips and calzone / pies. While my experience has taken me all over RI and I have found other places that do the odd thing better, this is still a steady, consistent quality place that is perfect for Coventry. It iIs nothing fancy (unless you are looking at the cakes), but it is all high quality. So if you are a Pastry snob, this might not be your place. If you are someone that loves RI and all of the bakeries that she has to offer and you love the 'local' connections, this place will be right up your alley. read more

Yummy muffins, complementary coffee and the best birthday cake designs. Everyone was very sweet and pleasant! read more

Borrelli's Pastry Shop - Farm cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Coventry, Rhode Island

Came in a few weeks ago for a huge assortment of breakfast goodies. They did not disappoint, as I've had them before but hadn't purchased myself. It was all reasonably priced and packaged well, they'll tie boxes for you (but I opted to not bother - ties just get in the way of them going into my mouth faster). I recommend warming certain ones up if you can. Anything lemon is my favorite - there was also a nutella chocolate braided.. thing.. that was amazing. I plan on ordering some cupcakes for my baby shower from here - and also a cake for later this summer! read more

My wife and I go to this bakery every Saturday for our sweets for the week. Long line or short, this place always provides amazing service. They'll answer all of your questions and are always patient. I can be picky with my sweets. Amazing treats all around and definitely try their Reese's Cupcake and fresh Italian bread, you can't go wrong! read more

I think Borelli's has the best pastry's/ cakes in town by far. They have been in business for as long as I can remember and they have a great selection. Everything tastes very homemade & fresh and the prices aren't bad at all. I will continue to give you business Borelli's!! read more

The Birthday cakes at this bakery are really wonderful. We have always been a patron of the bakery for brownies and lemon squares. Recently, we ordered a birthday cake with all whipped cream frosting for our Mother's birthday. The cake came out decorated lovely and the textures and taste of the cake was complimented on by everyone. We are a family who has a tradition of making a layered white sponge cake birthday cake for everyone's birthday decorated with homeade whipped cream. So to have to subsitute a bakery cake was an uncomparable alternative to the real thing. But Borrelli's really passed the test. In the future, when we do not have the time, I will order a birthday cake from here again. At another party, my friend's came over, and I had someone pick us up some brownies and lemon square. They saw the box and instantly asked what we got with wide eyes, as their italian family loved Borelli's cakes as well. read more

Why do all the creme pastries taste like lemon? Ricotta zeppole, cheesecake, ricotta pie all taste like lemon. My family is Italian true immigrant Italian and there is no strong lemon flavor in those pastries. The Italian bread is good. That's it. Anything else I've tried I've regretted eating. read more

Called 4 times and placed on hold immediately...told the person the fifth time I did not want to hold. I tried to ask if they would hold an Italian bread for me, and they wouldn't. I try to go to local businesses, but this is why they are falling prey to BJs and Stop & Shop and the like. I tried, you didn't. read more

We ordered my sons college graduation cake and it was the hit of the party! It was very delicious! It was a marble cake with whipped cream frosting and chocolate mousse filling. The only thing was they did not have a box big enough for the cake and I had to bring it home with an open top. Luckily it was not raining and I did not have to stop short on the way home. Make sure that boxes are provided for any size cake! I will continue buying my cakes here. Thank you! read more

This is a great bakery - like a bakery from my childhood! Lots to choose from! Everything is delicious! You can't go wrong! Love that it stays open until 7:00 p.m. read more

These Zeppole rock! Thank you! We had the traditional, the Bailey's, and cannoli filled Zeppole. Each was outstanding! Lots of love in each one! read more

Craftsmanship of their cakes is pretty outstanding. The designs always come out nice with lots of details. This place is really great for ordering custom designed cakes for special occassions. Just make sure you order it way in advance to give them enough time to execute professionally. The canolis I had the other day was awesome too. They have many other selections worth checking in if you havent done so! read more

Can you say awesomeness? Some of the best pastry I have ever had. The service was fast and friendly. The selection seems endless. Everything is fresh. I gained 5 pounds just looking around! Go there, no disappointments!! read more

Love coming to this bakery shop! They have never disappointed me! Everything always tastes fresh and is made fresh! The people who work there work hard and are pleasant! Parking can be crammed but is definitely worth a stop in! They have weekday specials and make some of the best custom cakes I've ever seen! read more

I've ordered from this bakery multiple times and each time I am not disappointed. They always have a beautiful selection for everyone. My favorite item to date is the cannolis! They are delicious! read more

This place was voted Lil RI's best for a reason. The first time I went here was a couple years ago for St. Joseph's Day and some Zeppole. They were the best I ever had. Perfectly puffy but the custard was to die for not to sweet, a hint of citrus. If your going to have a Zeppole this is the place. I live in New Bedford now, by my BFF lives in RI. We decided to stop by here yesterday to see if Zeppole was in! Not yet in a few weeks probably the very nice girls behind the counter informed us. They were very sweet and though we don't have an allergies she pointed out every potential allergy something might have "that contains peanuts" etc. Super awesome and helpful if I was shopping for something to bring to a party and just above and beyond what she would actually have to do. So nice. We decided on some Canoli with pistachio. OMG. Best I've had outside of Mikes in Boston!!! I'll be back soon for that Zeppole!!! read more

Borrelli's Pastry Shop - Yummmm everything is delightful! EVERYTHING. - Bakeries Near Me - Coventry, Rhode Island

I have been going here for years and the thing I notice is consistency. I am not a cookie/pastry fan but they sure do look good. I go there for their spinach pies, pizza strips, and Italian bread. My favorite is the spinach ring. If you like spinach pies, try the spinach ring. It's big and oh so good! read more

They are overpriced for what you get, italian bread is so small for the price, the bismark, was stale but charged regular price. The other owners were the best. Everything is small but the price. read more

Love how they are open really really early. I work at a dealership and needed 35-40 Cannolis. The lady who was helping me was very quick with everything. I was in and out! They have a large selection. read more

The best pizza strips in RI as far as I'm concerned. And, many great italian pastries. The calzones are great, and zeppoles can't be beat. They definitely favor cash patrons over those paying with credit, which is a little annoying, but other than that, nothing but good things to say! read more

Calzones are the best i've ever had in RI. The desserts are fair. The peanut butter cupcake is moist and very tasty and never to the point of being overwelming. I can't say the same for the red velvet the frosting had a very strange taste it was almost a citrus flavor, def not the cream cheese consistancy I'm used to. read more

There are some many better bakeries in this small state. Why do people settle for less? The baked goods are of the same quality as if I went to Stop & Shop or BJ's. read more

Been going here since a little girl. Haven't visited in years but had a craving for their delicious spinach roll! It still tastes the same. My other faves of theirs are the fig squares and lemon squares-they are stuffed! A bit on the pricey side but hey. To top it off, we're Italians and I look forward to my annual zeppole-the original kind! read more

Thank you so much to Borrelli's for making our daughter's Baptism cake! I gave them a photo of the cake I had in mind and it came out pretty much identical, not to mention delicious! The ordering process was easy and I got so many compliments on how beautiful the cake was. We also love Borrelli's for their reasonable prices on pasties and cakes for any occasion. read more

Great selection of pastries Danishes cookies and more. Without a doubt the best place I've found in Rhode Island since moving here 12 years ago read more

I was very disappointed with their blueberry pie! It barely tasted like blueberries and the crust was like cardboard. I assumed the pie would be delicious like most of their other items but I was totally wrong. The pie went in the garbage!!!! read more

Came in for Italian bread on Thanksgiving Day hoping to get a greasy baked loaf. My husband came home with two loads of yesterday's bread. Yes it was not fresh you could absolutely tell. When I called there they said it was backed today. Even if they baked it at 2am it would have been fresher. Have been there multiple time and bread and pastry has been old. The girls there all have a snobby attitude as if to say just buy it it is ok. This is what happens when they are the only place open on Thanksgiving in the area. We really need another bakery in Coventry!!!!!! read more
