STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO TO ZEPPIERI'S BAKERY!…read more I thought I'd had great sfogliatella before...then I tried Zeppieri's Nutella Mousse Sfogliatella, and WOW. Not only is the owner the incredibly talented baker who was featured on a cooking show for making one of the best sfogliatella, but he's taken this classic Italian pastry to a whole new level. Imagine perfectly flaky, buttery layers filled with a rich, silky Nutella mousse, dipped in chocolate, topped with a dollop of mousse and a cherry, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Every bite is crispy, creamy, chocolatey perfection. This isn't just a pastry--it's an experience. If you're a Nutella lover or a sfogliatella fan, do yourself a favor and get one before everyone else catches on! Highly recommend! #ZeppierisBakery #Sfogliatella #NutellaLovers #ItalianBakery #DessertGoals #FoodieFind #WorthEveryCalorie #SupportLocal #BronxEats #BakeryPerfection

I was like a kid in a candy store. The service was pleasurable and nice. I ordered 2 fresh challah breads which are only made on fridays which was fine for me. There's nothing like fresh everything. The smells are amazing and I recommend them %100. It was a nice addition to my daughters birthday brunch spread.

Disclaimer, tapioca was sold out but I still ordered the matcha oatmilk boba tea. Didn't mind and it was sweet. There's variety of pastry options, ask for vegan options. They also sell fresh bread. My almond croissant was decent but it was microwave warmed. I prefer toaster for fresh flakiness. All and all this is a Togo cafe. I wish there was seating, enough room for at least two tables for limited dining. No public restroom but conveniently walking distance near two train stations.

They have tea, coffee and bottled drinks as well. It's a small Mom and Pop store whose owners (very nice people !) have probably been there for over half a century, with the business itself being there for more than a century. The prices are quite affordable. I picked up a cinnamon raisin walnut loaf, a croissant and a Boston cream doughnut. All were delicious. If you're ever over in this part of the Bronx, stop in to see this hidden old school gem, but stop in early because they close at 2 o'clock !

My discovery of this place is one of the instances of social media's power being used for good - as it was there that I discovered this place existed. Judging by what I saw online alone, it looked like a place worth checking out - so off we went. I know it sounds cliché, but Narciso definitely fits the definition of old school. From the faded sign out front to the no frills interior, it's really the bakes that are the main attraction point here. They have a good selection of breads, pastries, and cookies to choose from - so we decided to get several items to get an idea of what they offered. I sampled the apple turnover, blueberry cheesecake tart, and Linzer tart. Everything was really good - the consistency and flavors were on point; I was particularly surprised at how fresh everything stayed even the day after they were purchased. The prices were also right - I don't think I know of any other place you can get cookies for $8/lb anymore. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at Narciso. They are definitely under the radar, but now I know they're hear I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Small neighborhood spot with many flavors of ice cream and house made water ice. After an entire…read moreday of eating pizza the water ice drew me in. I was stuffed but needed something sweet and water ice is a favorite so I couldn't and didn't resist. It sits next to a pretty popular pizza shop - Louie and Ernie's so I'm sure they get a lot of traffic. It was busy while we were there and while I only had the ice, I would go back for it. It hit the spot and the service was quick and friendly. Several options for sizes displayed for ease of ordering and while I didn't take the time in the crowded store to peruse there appeared to be quite a variety of cookies and chocolates available as well.

Today I went in to place an order for a cake for Saturday and was told they are not taking weekend orders. For a bakery that sells celebration cakes, refusing orders for the busiest celebration days of the week is frustrating and disappointing. Loyalty clearly means very little here. After years of supporting this business, I will be taking my business elsewhere. They have lost a longtime customer.

The menu has options for coffee and tea lovers alike. My go to order has been Iced Matcha. It's high quality Matcha and mixed well. They do serve it unsweetened but they have simple syrup and sugar at a stand by the door if you want to add it yourself. I have also tried the seasonal coffee flavors; all were hits. The pastries are freshly baked and they sell some artisanal snacks too. My favorites pastries are the almond croissant and cheese danish but you can't go wrong with any of the choices. There has not been a time I've come by and received poor customer service. The staff is genuinely kind. If you're in the neighborhood or just want to pop by this quaint cafe, I'd highly recommend it. P.S. They have a few tables outside when the weather is warmer.

I ordered a cappuccino and, for the first time, decided to try the Rum Baba. I'm glad I did. The pastry was incredibly soft, perfectly soaked with just the right amount of rum, and had a light sweetness that wasn't overpowering. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The staff was happy to answer questions and made me feel like a regular, even though it was my first visit. The shop has an old-school Italian bakery feel that's becoming harder to find, making the experience just as enjoyable as the food itself.

I've always walked by Egidio Pastry Shop but now I'm on a mission. I need dessert to carry through out the weekend. Walking inside, it's nostalgic feels from my childhood. Freshly baked Sicilian treats that are proudly on display. I ask: Do you sell Italian bread? I'm told no so I'll gladly take a pound of biscotti. I zero on my favorite, almond biscotti. I ask for a few fruit and nut biscotti as well. Somehow a filler was added, it wasn't even biscotti?? It was a flat, flavorless cookie. I would have enjoyed sesame cookies but I wasn't asked. It was just jammed into the box unbeknownst to me. I don't have these problems in Brooklyn, uncool. There was a cute nonna in front of me ordering Italian pastries. She's directing the counterperson who's preparing her box: I'll have one of those, two of these, while eating a mini cannoli. First time here, I'd like to try the pastries on my next visit. Egidio Pastry Shop, until next time!

I, too, was fooled by Instagram. We discovered this place the same way most people do -- through…read morethe cute, trendy desserts that look great online. I also wanted to support a local business. So my husband made the journey across town and brought home a few treats from Happy Cake, including a chocolate coffee dessert shaped like a Starbucks cup with a chocolate lid. When my daughter popped the chocolate lid off to eat it, we found mold growing inside the dessert. This is absolutely unacceptable for any food business -- I don't care if it's "my people" or not. For context, we bought the dessert on Sunday and discovered the mold on Monday. Fresh, properly stored desserts do not grow visible mold overnight. That means this item was already old, improperly stored, or handled without proper food safety standards. None of those possibilities are okay, especially when the dessert was meant for a child. We didn't bother driving all the way back to the store -- it's too far -- but we threw out that dessert and every other treat we bought immediately. I'm just grateful my daughter didn't take a bite first. I cannot trust the freshness or safety of their products and will not be buying anything from Happy Cake again. And if anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, I'm posting a photo so you can see exactly what we found.
