This place has a lot of potential. The service was okay, and the space could use an update. The lobster tail pastry was really good, but the cream filling wasn't great. The rest of the stuff we got had a bit of a fridge taste and smell. The baked goods just didn't seem fresh. read more

I fear the glory days of the IPB are now behind them. Back in the 80's my mom would get fresh bread, rolls and dessert items - especially holiday favorites. Today was a summer day and we came at the end of the day - don't do that. Come in the morning, the minute they open. No sfogliatelle any more. All the cannoli are pre-filled. Nope. Not impressed. read more

Went here today 6/25 and this will be my last trip here. The Italian bread I bought was one step about supermarket bread they didn't have garlic sticks and the kids behind the counter need work on dealing with the public what's the deal why are there only kids working there and what happened to this place read more

Living in Southern California, one of major things we miss are the excellent breads and rolls of the Italian bakeries in Chambersburg (Trenton). Today, I headed to this IPB to pick up two dozen hot dog rolls (5/5) for lunch. I was disappointed that the store was not as packed with goodies like it used to be. There was plenty of selection among the rolls and bread. Service was very good. Plenty of parking in this small strip shopping center. read more

Visited on 12-21-23 between 4-5 PM. Asked the girl behind the counter if there was any sfogliatelle. Seeing as I'm not Italian, I'm sure I butchered the name, so I understood why she initially didn't know what I meant. Proceeded to pull up a picture on Google to show her what I wanted, and the response I received was simply "no." No what? No there's none left in stock today? No we don't sell that anymore? (It's listed on the website, see pic) She refused to elaborate and left me awkwardly standing there. Then as opposed to asking if there was anything else she could help me with, she ignored me to turn and gossip with the other girl behind the counter about a customer who had just been in the store. So rude and unprofessional. My Italian boyfriend grew up patronizing this bakery, & I wanted to surprise him with his favorite pastry for Christmas. Told him and his family what happened, & they were very disappointed for me. We will be finding another bakery to patronize from now on. read more

Italian Peoples Bakery - Levittown - the menu - Bakeries Near Me - Levittown, Pennsylvania

Picked up snowflake rolls on Saturday for a party on Sunday. I asked if they are really soft and was told yes. Sunday I opened the bag and over half of them were so stale that you would have killed a person if you tossed one at them. The balance were very soft. Did not have enough for the party and had to use bread! SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE FOR SELLING TRASH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOSSED. 2 people were working .. one very nice and the other had the most miserable expression on her face that I have ever seen. Clearly she did not want to be there. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I haven't had the Italian People's Bakery since I was young, but I was in the mood for something sweet yesterday. After looking at their large selection, I decided on my favorite - rainbow cookies. I absolutely LOVE rainbow cookies, they even had slices of rainbow cake but I knew I couldn't finish that off yesterday. I paid for my cookies and made my way to the car, deciding to try a cookie on the way home - WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. These cookies were solid as a ROCK - the chocolate on the outside almost hard enough to chip a tooth, absolutely no flavor between the cold hard chocolate, cake part or the jam between, and the texture due to being froze was that of a cold, hard wet sponge. I understand these cookies are time consuming to make and not always going to be fresh, but completely frozen - they should have been left outside of the display case and not sold for the day. 2 stars because the huge selection of baked goods and customer service. The young lady working behind the counter on a Sunday Afternoon promptly greeted me upon entering me and showing me all of their delicious goods. I now wish I would have just gotten a cupcake, and after eating my favorite baked good completely frozen, I'm not sure I'll be back to ever try another one of their eye appealing baked goods. read more

went in to buy some bread, turned out pretty good! cannolis not so much, I bought a few and they were easily a 5/10. the shells were flaky and the cream filling was alright read more

Came to get a cupcake for my sweet tooth craving and it was seriously the biggest waste of $6 ever! We bought a chocolate and a pumpkin spice and both were freezing cold. The frosting was extra thick and overly sweet, I was really not impressed. The girls over the counter were also not helpful. We were trying to pick out specific specialty cupcakes we had to point and after she picked up the wrong one, we said, "No, actually the chocolate on chocolate" a huge sigh as if it was the biggest bother. We waited to get home to have our cupcakes, and I was highly disappointed. I don't know if anything is even baked on the premise, since for a mom and pop bakery, it didn't smell delicious like most bakeries do. I will not be returning. read more

With everything that is going on today with this Corona virus i was extremely surprised is seeing that employees were freely touching everything WITHOUT GLOVES and not hand sanitizing or washing hands between customers. i made a comment to young lady who may have been only 17 and she said "yeah they should make us wear them". Considering how everyone is aware and walking into target and supermarkets cashiers are using gloves and those who aren't are hand sanitizing in between customers. read more

I am new to the South Jersey area and I'm in search of good bakeries. I saw an advertisement for Italian People's bakery online and decided to order a birthday cake from there using a Groupon voucher I purchased for $18.99. I specifically ordered a 1/2 sheet vanilla cake with buttercream icing. I decided to place an order at the Mercerville/Hamilton location. I was not pleased with my cake. I am a cake decorator and could tell that my cake was decorated by a rookie. The borders were crooked and the flowers were not proportionate to the size of the cake. This wasn't even the big issue with me. I just wanted a cake that tasted good. Boy was I unimpressed with the taste. My cake tasted like white, not vanilla, box cake. It was sort of dry too. The icing didn't have a hint of butter flavor in it. I will not recommend this bakery location to anyone who is looking for a pretty and good tasting cake. I gave three stars because my overall experience in ordering the cake was okay. read more

I went into the Levittown store to place an order. And Jenna was rude and unwilling to help me. When I tried to explain that I calleD earlier that day they said I could go in that night and place the order. I then called the main office to complain that the people were unwilling to help (been over a week). Never got a call back. If I could of put zero stars I would. I would tell anyone to go there. Just horrible people. read more

Ellie is the worst to deal with. Very rude and we try to avoid ordering on days she's working. The rest of the staff is polite. Ellie never tries to accommodate anything or make customers happy it seems when we are there. She's miserable. It's a shame. read more

We ordered a cookie tray for 26 people on Friday for pick up on Sunday. The employee helped us pick out a tray size and bow color. I called on saturday to verify the order and add canolis onto the order. Our order was not ready when we came to pick it up on Sunday. Instead, they tried to sell us a week old holiday tray sitting on the clearance table. Disgusting. . We just ordered cookies from the counter to go. They were thrown in a box and mostly broken by the time we got to the party. We were offered no discounts on our order and the only alternative was old cookies. We will never come back here and will actively discourage people from ordering read more

The Italian People's Bakery is located in the shopping center at the corner of Bristol-Oxford Valley Road and Woodbourne Road in Levittown. I'm told that there are other stores in New Jersey, as well, but this is the location that I am familiar with. The bakery is a stand-alone building that looks like an old Pizza Hut (the same kind of roof) in the H Mart shopping center. The People's Bakery makes some of the freshest, most delicious bread in the Philadelphia region. Most Italian rolls are really mass-produced nowadays (even Amoroso's), but the rolls here provide a glimpse into what the Italian bread of Philly must have been like decades ago, when the bread was still handmade. They have hoagie rolls, large loaves of bread, and every other kind of Italian bread imaginable. They also have desserts (so watch your diet if you come here because you won't be able to resist!). Unfortunately, bread doesn't stay fresh long, so I suggest picking it up the same day you intend to eat it. This place gets 5 stars in my book for affordability and amazingly yummy baked goods! read more

This place has the best rolls when they are fresh! They are soft and firm perfect for sandwiches. My family gets them every holiday dinners and for cookouts! They are extremely busy around the holiday time - have waited 1 hour plus for rolls (yes 1 hour plus - I really love my grand mom and her Christmas dinner otherwise I would have went to the grocery store to call it a day). Their pastries are ehh okay - hit or miss I find. I would never order the canollis. I thought for sure Italian people + bakery = good canollis but nope not so much. Stick to the rolls and you are good to go. read more

Bought a ton of Italian cookies, went to eat them and they where completely stale and dry. The rainbow cookies were pretty... ok. Very disappointed. read more

Italian Peoples Bakery - Levittown - Need proper silverware , plastic will shatter. - Bakeries Near Me - Levittown, Pennsylvania

Horrible! I purchased a cake for my child's 4th birthday party at the levittown store! Apparently the cakes come from Trenton. Not only did they spell my kids name wrong,an easy name (Monica) I ordered butter cream and they gave me whipped cream! I picked the cake up before the party, they offered to remove the name (which I had no time for as I ordered a cake for a specific time) or don't get it. The owner carmen said he'd give me $5 dollars off; I said no, he gave me $25 off... I took the cake as now we were running late; we discover after that is was not the right topping; I called to complain or get an apology...... Carmen ignored it and never called back; his staff tried to make excuses! Will never order again! read more

THE BEST!!!! We bought a 1/2 sheet cake and a bunch of rolls and bread for my daughters baby shower and just had the most pleasant experience... a young woman (named Skylar I believe) helped us; I gave her the theme and what I wanted written on the cake, and they just did such a great job! I knew my daughters shower would bring tears of joy, but I didn't expect to shed them at the bakery! And on top of that, Skylar had written such a sweet note wishing us a great shower. Customer service like it used to be! Italian Peoples will be my only bakery from now on! read more

Well having been a customer for years today you lost my business all my neighbors business, all my associates at work and their family's business. And anyone who reads this. So my wife gets all her rolls there and for years buys a seeded loaf and has it sliced and no issue. Today however, your assistant manager told her she wouldnt do it and when my wife said they always do it she said I am the assistant manager and I said no. Really well now take your cookies bread and cancel all our orders for today and the future. read more

This is the BEST place to get bread of the Italian variety. I absolutely love the dinner rolls, I could seriously sustain my own existence on nothing but bread from Italian People's Bakery. They make the kind of bread that is so good it doesn't even need butter. read more

Ok, fair's fair. In my last review I mentioned how the sweets weren't as good as the breads. Well, we gave them another shot with the Cherry Danish/Strudel and it was very nice. Nuking it for a few seconds made it like it just came out of the oven. Perfect. read more

The sweet rolls here are just delicious. Toast them lightly in the oven for a few minutes and spread with a thin layer of unsalted butter. The exterior forms a super thin, crispy shell and the inside is light, warm, and fluffy. Just a light schmear of butter is enough. You won't need anything else, including jelly, since the roll has just the perfect amount of sweetness. The sesame kaisers are pretty good too, especially when paired with roast turkey and gravy; the exterior is slightly crispy with plenty of seeds. The mini sticks are a great option if you love the crunchy crust; I have, on occassions, just nibbled on one for lunch. They are also great with mozzarella and prosciutto sandwiched in the middle. Prices are great and kaisers are buy a dozen, get 1/2 dozen free on Tues and sticks are BOGO on Fri (I'm pretty sure although not 100% - it changes sometimes). However, because everything is baked fresh, I wouldn't recommend stocking up unless you have a group event. read more

The BEST wheat rolls ever!!!. Lightly toast them in the oven so the outside is slightly crunchy but the inside is warm and doughy. Orgasmic :) read more

We happened to be in the mood for canoli's and drove right passed. Their Italian Rum Cake looked great, but I wasn't going straight home so I will try next time. Boston creme puff was delish and nice and cold on a hot summer day. Canoli's were also good, not great like Termini's in S. Philly but still decent. I hope to try the breads and rolls next time, as well as all the single serve pastries...Really missing that Tiramisu now too! read more

An excellent, clean bakery with lots of traditional Italian bread and desserts. The bakery is reasonably priced, and they even offer specials and coupons. read more

It was a shame because I really wanted to like this bakery. Especially after reading the reviews and moving to the area, I was looking forward to coming here. After walking into the door and seeing the assortment of goodies in front of me, I waited for someone to help me. Two women saw me and blatantly walked away from me. Another younger girl was cleaning the bread case and saw me and was the only one nice enough to help me. After requesting for two canolies (one for myself and another to take home as surprise to my sick boyfriend), the nicer girl went in the back to prepare them for me. Granted, there were 30 minutes to closing but this is still unacceptable behavior for the two women to just walk away from me as I walked into the door. While the canolies were being packaged in the back for me by the third girl, a young family walked in and they too were ignored by the first two women. Soon they turned and left without buying anything. I was appalled by the rudeness and only bought the canolies because the third girl was nice enough to help me. After trying the canolies, I have to say that they were pretty good but I will not be rushing back to the establishment because they could take some lessons on customer service. read more

We moved to Fairless Hills from Philly 8 months ago. Apparently suburbia does not seem to know what a hard roll is. How can an Italian bakery NOT sell hard rolls, or maybe they think they do, but trust me, they don't. I have to travel 15 miles back into the city to get a decent roll. If a bakery feels inclined to put the name "Italian" in its name, the least they could do is produce a good roll, an Italian staple. read more

If you want rolls that are packaged the day before and are hard then go here. When you complain to the idiot behind the counter about the hard rolls they just say have a nice day and walk away. When you call and place an order for a holiday they tell you it's a minimum of 3 dozen rolls and you have to place an order if you want rolls but yet while you're waiting in line people can come in and get what they want, they lie to you just to make you order. Nothing like the one in Trenton or Ewing but the ones in Trenton and Ewing actually care about their customers and the quality of what they give customers. read more

Good bread and clean establishment but the customer service is deplorable. I wish i was exaggerating, but when I asked if they made a certain kind of cookie the older woman just stared at me. When I repeatedly myself she said "what?" and then asked the younger lady working if she knew what I was talking about. She then questioned indirectly whether my father could afford the loaf of Italian bread he was buying. read more

I have to say that if this was based on product quality I would have given probably five stars. But their customer service is horrendous. I walked in Easter Sunday and picked up a ready made pie and proceeded to a register where I saw a girl finishing with a customer. When she was finished she turned her back and walked away. This was after making eye contact with me knowing I wanted to pay for the items. Needless to say I turned around and walked out. I've purchased from here before and liked their quality but I can find equal quality with much better service. read more

When I lived in Levittown, the Bakery wasn't there yet. Sad. Fortunately, I still have family back there so whenever I go home to visit them, this is the first stop! And whenever my sister is coming out to see me, she will always bring me rolls (the 1/2 torps are my favs). She has also brought out dozens and dozens for partys that I've had (the latest being my daughter's party to celebrate graduation and engagement). The guests were all asking were they could get the rolls also and were disappointed to learn that they were from a bakery 2 hours away!! LOL read more

I was surprised to read some reviews that were less than 100% positive. We have bought our rolls here for years. The half torps are especially good, either seeded or plain, with hot or cold meats and cheese. The wheat rolls are a delicious healthy alternative, and they also have frozen pizza dough that I like, both white and wheat. I have never had any complaints on service. These girls work hard, even on holidays. read more
