On top if this they tried to double charge me for the order saying that my card transaction didn't go through when I did.

Just poor communication and quality and customer service overall.

One of the top Italian bakeries in NY and an absolute must stop when visiting Arthur Ave. You walk…read morein and you feel like you just stepped back in time to your childhood when more of these Italian American bakeries existed. Bread, cookies, and pastries are all showcased and it smells great. If you go during the afternoon during the week it won't be as crowded as it can get on the weekend. Everything here is terrific. Whenever I'm in the area I'll bring home a pound of assorted Italian cookies, I'll also grab rainbow cookies and cannolis. Their cannolis are terrific, some of the best in NY. Yes, NY, not just NYC. I think what makes their cannoli stand out amongst some of the best is their shell. It's always fresh and crispy. Their filling is a little more vanilla forward compared to other NY institutions version of the cannoli, so keep that in mind when trying one. I'll put it to you this way, if you like Italian pastries, especially cannolis make this place a destination to visit, give them a try and see how it ranks up compared to your favorites. And while you're there, take in the rest of Arthur Ave! Oh, I almost forgot. They have what my husband says are the best savoiardi cookies in the state. They're always fresh, soft, slightly chewy in the middle with a delicately crispy exterior. They're to die for with a hot cup of coffee.

I would buy from here again but maybe on special occasions. Thumbs up for me! Happy Yelping!

We chose this spot for a family reunion, and they made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was incredible. I had the Pork Chop Scarparo--perfectly cooked and full of amazing flavor. The pasta was spot‑on too and cooked just right. I had the garlic and oil side dish which was simple but delicious. There are plenty of great places in the area, but Antonios definitely deserves a spot on your list. It made our family gathering feel special, and the meal was unforgettable.

This is a well known bakery right in the heart of the South Bronx! (BX Stand Up!) I've brought the…read moresame cake from this place years ago. The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

Stopped by Artuso after eating at a few stops on and around Arthur Ave., and was excited to satisfy…read morethe sweet tooth. As soon as you step inside, you're taken by how large and how clean Artuso is. It is very well lit, and all of these things make it very easy for you to focus on those glass cases full of sweets. Their selection is extremely large and contains all that you would expect (biscotti, rainbow cookies, b&w's, pignolis, etc) as well as Italian ice and various other treats. The line moved fast, and the workers were extremely helpful as we ordered our rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies with cannoli cream. The pignoli were great...they had that signature almond taste, just right. Very enjoyable. And the cannoli cream center was a nice touch, and very good as well. The rainbow cookies were ok. Admittedly, I have a very high bar for rainbows, so I hold them to a high standard...and they were good, just not as flavorful/almondy as I particularly prefer. In all, Artuso is a great stop. A perfect post lunch/dinner spot to grab a quick snack to cap off a meal. Definitely check it out.

This is a review of the after-hours Bodega pickup for S&S Cheesecake, on the corner, not the actual…read moreBakery. Went to pickup a Cheesecake late in the afternoon in August 2026, after S&S was closed, after seeing the closed sign at S&S proceeded to the Bodega, I politely asked the employee, where I could find the S&S Cheesecakes that they sell, a very rude employee barked at me with a response that I did not understand, after that uncomfortable response, I looked behind me and noticed an unmarked freezer in the middle of the store, I went over and opened it up, and amongst a bunch of random unrelated items I noticed what appeared to be a few Cheesecakes. I pulled one out and asked another employee if this was a plain cheesecake and did they have any with toppings or fruit, once again I was responded to, with a very angry and rude tone of voice that I could not understand. No Cheesecake is worth the trip to the Bronx to deal with very rude employees, that made the purchase transaction awkward and for a small 7" plain frozen Cheesecake at $30 a very poor experience, also no options as far as toppings or bigger sizes available. If you can make it to the actual S&S Cheesecake when they are open during their limited hours then it is totally worth it. However, as a long time lover of S&S Cheesecake who used to live blocks away as a kid in the 70's, and now I live in CA and have visited S&S many times over the years while visiting family in Manhattan and Long Island, the past few times I have been unable to squeeze in the time to make it to the Bronx during their business hours and started going to the Bodega during and the subsequent years after COVID-19, and have been highly disappointed in the rude and overly nasty employees as well as the lack of quality in the frozen Cheesecakes, each of the times, dealing with the Bodega. In the future for myself, and recommend for anyone else thinking about it, only visit S&S Bakery directly during business hours, if not skip it and spend your hard earned money at other options available especially in Manhattan.
