Horrible experience and owner is rude! We ordered the first picture cake and got the 2nd picture cake! The first photo was provided to owner and she has the screenshot of it on her phone!!!!! It was not blue like she said, it was teal as you can see in 2nd photo and nothing like the photo provided in first pic! She screamed and hung up on us twice! No way to treat a customer who paid alot for the cakes! Also, please note, we put the crosses on the cake, they did not provide! It was not pound cake like we ordered, it crumbled as we were cutting it! With rude customer service from the owner, we will not return, she lost a great customer who gave her alot of business but no more! read more

This bakery offers exquisite traditional Italian cookies, pastries and cakes that reminded me of childhood trips to NYC bakeries. The owner is charming and dedicated to pleasing customers. We bought several items, especially love their pignoli pine nut cookies. I highly recommend this bakery. read more

This is the worst place ever. I have regularly frequented several bakeries over the years with no issues, but this is my first and last experience with this one. I shared photos of the cake I wanted and gave instructions on colors to be used. Not only were none of my instructions followed, the colors they used for the decorations and words on the cake didn't even match. I left messages with them but they didn't even take the time to respond. With the prices they charge I expected better. If you want a cake for a special occasion I highly recommend avoiding Roma Bakery. read more

A true taste of Italy! Now that I've managed to taste my way around their shop, I am more than happy to give Roma a top 5-star rating. They run a clean shop, are friendly, know their regulars, and make some really good treats! My most recent trip netted me a handful of almond cookies and a tiramisu. Previous trips I scored a few of their mini-pies, various cookies, and more. Everything is/was/has been great. The tiramisu was on another level. Prices are fair, especially for the value in quality you are getting. As others note, a potential for best bakery in Blue Bell and a great small business to support! read more

Do not give this bakery any business. The customer service is pitiful. We ordered a cake for my dad's birthday and when we cut into it, it literally crumbled because it was so dry. Cleary overcooked. We planned on bringing it back the next day and showing them and asking for our money back. We decided to call first to give Anna a heads up. Well, she started yelling at us and threatening that she would call the police if we brought the cake in to her! She then said "Do not ever F*@*&$ call me again, I do not want your business ever again". HOW is this possible?!?! Anna has always been rude every time we try to work with her but this was the last straw. The cake was horrible and she refused to accept any responsibility and instead, cursed us out for bringing it to her attention. Please do not give Anna any business. read more

Roma Bakery Pastry Shop - VERY OVERCOOKED AND DRY! - Bakeries Near Me - Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

Just a very expensive under average quality cakes and cookies. Ordered online a tiramisu cake, 8" for 34.99. The order showed a 20% discount, up to $5, never applied to my bill, but... The receipt attached to the box stated: "promo paid by you. You provided the customer with a discount. You will fund this discount cost" Stupidity, idiocracy or what???? Also, in store, I purchased one pound of cookies listed for $ 19.99/ lb. Stated on display: 3% discount for cash payment. Cash paid. Discount never applied toward the purchase. Now, related to the products quality,.... Sub par, sub average, just the prices are 5 stars, nothing elese read more

I ordered here for a quick last minute party. Ordered the Tiramisu and the Fudge Cake. It came frozen-which is fine since I ordered last minute. But at $70.00 total I spent for the 2 cakes (smallest sizes), they were incredibly dry. Tiramisu: -barely any espresso used. - Cake gets dry QUICK. - This is NOT lady fingers. It seems to be a very light cake (like angelfood). -The top is pretty, but very little cocoa. They used the cocoa as a decoration to make flowers/whorls, so there is very very little of that cocoa flavor. -Looks like just a white cream cake with mascarpone in the middle. The mascarpone layer is nice-and tastes close to authentic. But that is it. Fudge Cake: Dry cake-it crumbles if it is out for any longer than a few minutes. Very sweet/sugar buttercream in the middle. Little chocolate flavor. The Ganache on top is pretty, but gritty like the sugar was not dissolved. read more

Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. One problem we had was we were overcharged. We ordered 4 each of two different pastries. When we checked our receipt later we realized we were charged for 5 of one and 6 of the other. Plus there was another charge we were not sure what that was for. We paid nearly $8-10 more than we should have. No prices are displayed that I saw, so we didn't catch the overage until after we left. Otherwise I would give this place 5 stars. read more

Wow what a dissapointing experience and during such a blessed time of Easter that no doubt this business profits heavily from. I took my daughter in this morning to pick out a special cake for her upcoming First Holy Communion. It was the first day my husband, myself and my daughter could all go together and we wanted to make it a special trip. It was quiet in the shop with only one person ahead of us. When asked how we could be helped I explained we wanted to order a cake for an upcoming Communion. The owner, seemingly annoyed, exclaimed "No No No not until after Easter" I said the event was after Easter and wanted to place the order now. She continued to shake her head saying "After Easter". She then rudely says "Well what do you want? I don't know what you want!" I assumed this would be the time that the person who gives the service would lend some advice or show some examples. Nothing of the sort. Just leaving us standing there as if we were doing something wrong. We had planned to purchase a large cake and many specialty pastries for the event and figured we would take some goodies away for Easter ,too. We left with nothing but a bad taste in our mouth. Honestly, they should be ashamed to have acted this way to a willing consumer, in front of an excited child, at this most sacred time of year. A complete disgrace. I only put a star because I had to.....it would be ZERO for me. read more

Please don't use Anna at Roma bakery. She's a terrible person. I was supposed to get married and my fiance had a heart attack. I came in on the 16th and she said the cake was made. This is impossible. The date was October 20th. I said please give me a refund. She is arrogant and refused to give me back my money. I had to pick it up and make a charitable donation to the Center Square fire company. All I can say everyone else was so nice and was understanding. I have been going to her a long time. Her prices are very high and not that good. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I can see the other reviews are bad stating the cake was dry and crumbled. She makes them 4 days in advance and the cakes are not fresh. read more

Ordered a special cake for a gender reveal baby shower. It was supposed to be pink or blue inside but it wasn't. When asked why it was wrong they said they didnt understand the instructions. If you dont understand instructions, you should call the person who ordered the cake and ask them. They ruined my wife's baby shower. This place charges a lot of money for their baked goods and has no idea how to do business. Order cake from your local grocery store its just as good and way cheaper. This place has no clue how to do business. To further prove my point, look at the business owner's reply below. I will make it even simpler and copy and paste his reply to this review. They messed up a cake, I wrote an honest review, and rather than apologize the owner responds with: "1/26/2016 *Noting better to do! U have a real job? I suggest u to find one u really need to fill up your time .notting more to say good luck & congrats for your stupidity ................" This is Roma Bakery's owner reply to my review. This place has ZERO clue how to do business and this response proves with 100% certainty that I am correct. Avoid this place at all costs, expensive over priced baked goods and rude unprofessional ownership. read more

I ordered a tiramisu cake to be picked up a few days before Christmas and was very disappointed by both the service and the cake itself. First, their system for serving customers is nonexistent. When you walk in, it's like a free for all with no organization for customers who are picking up versus ordering in store. The blatant disregard for customers' time is readily apparent. Second, they charge a surcharge for credit cards, which they don't inform you of at the time of order. I was also misquoted for the price of the cake. Third, the cake itself was underwhelming and overpriced. The ratios were all off. It's effectively a cream cake, with an enormous layer of cream and a very small layer of espresso/kahlua. I'm not sure there was any mascarpone at all that I could detect. All the people claiming this place makes traditional and authentic Italian is puzzling. If that's what you're looking for, go elsewhere. read more

THE BEST BAKERY IN BLUE BELL PA I have been buying their TIRAMISU cakes and fancy pastries for the past 20 years. The Tiramisu cake is fresh and moist. The cannolis with freshly filled ricotta cheese are excellent too. Roma bakery is the best bakery in Blue Bell. I highly recommend this bakery for cakes and fancy pastries for holidays and special occasions. read more

Baked goods are the best around, but you pay for it. It's worth the price so buckle up, you won't be sorry!

Do not ever go to Roma Pastry Shop Roma Bakery in Blue Bell. We ordered a cake there for a special birthday party, very specific about what we wanted and when we went to pick it up, it wasn't decorated. It was quickly decorated but airbrushed, not what we ordered at all. My mother expressed dissatisfaction with the way it looked and the owner of the bakery Anna Sciarra threw the cake on the floor in front of my mother and cursed her out of the store. Disgraceful to say the least. Awful. Please don't patronize this place. Ever!!! read more

I have been buying almond cookies here for years and loving them, but just two days ago I bought two pounds, and they had no almond taste at all. When I called to ask about it, the woman that owns it just said "maybe you ate something before the cookie, sorry" and hung up on me. I have also seen her be extremely rude to another customer. Used to be 5 stars, now 1 read more

The owner is extremely rude and abrasive. The product is literally inedible and they could care less about customers. I think the woman owner must have a mental issue given how rude she was. I will make sure no one in area ever goes there and will do my best to make sure this business closes. Stay away from this garbage !!! read more

I love Roma Bakery! The cookies here are better than any I've ever had; whenever there is a special occasion I bring their cookies to celebrate. They are a notable hit every time. But it's not just that, the owners are passionate about their craft and are fantastic to see and talk to every time I visit. Best bakery I've ever experienced! read more

I'm a big fan of Italian bakeries, and this is one of the best. Their tiramisu cake is always a hit, but Roma is by no means a one product shop. Everything there is delicious. The rum cake is awesome, and even the cookies are remarkable. If you're there around Christmas, check to see if they have panettone. It often sells out, but don't miss it if you can get it. The people at Roma are nice, the baked goods are delicious, and they usually have a good selection of stuff pre-made if you're entertaining and didn't get around to placing an order in advance. It's worth noting that Roma is not cheap, but its quality easily justifies the price. read more

I went to the bakery in person and ordered a custom cake for my daughter's birthday. They sketched out a great design and we talked about the wonderful flowers and honeybee decorations I wanted for the cake. This was a very pricey cake, but the first time I have ever ordered a custom cake and I wanted it to be a center piece. The cake I got looked terrible. The entire cake was air brushed, looked blurry and unfinished. I had wanted fondant decorations, not anything drawn on. I called to discuss to figure out where the break down in communication happened, as the cake looked terrible even for an air brush attempt and the owner told me that there was nothing she could do and hung up on me. I have never experienced such horrible customer service. I hope no one else has an experience like this. read more

I recently ordered a cake here for my boyfriend's birthday and was severely disappointed. I hadn't known anyone whose ever ordered from here but for a small bakery like that that has been open for 20+ years - how could it be bad? I placed an order over the phone, which may have been my demise, with a lady who had a hard time understanding me. I asked for a cake that served 4-6 people...just a small guy. The lady told me they had one of those. Turns out, the same cake that serves 4-6 people is also the same cake that serves 8-10 people. Fail. I asked for no flowers. It had roses everywhere. I was told it would be $18 which I was almost okay with but I ordered it anyway hoping it'd be this delicious, little Italian cake. It ended up being $21 plus tax. The icing was uber sweet. The cake was good, but I expected much more. I felt like I could have gotten a cake like that at Giant and been just as happy. Both employees I dealt with had such broken English - very strong Italian roots - that I had a hard time understanding them and, I'm sure, vice versa. Overall, really disappointed. Maybe it was my fault for ordering over the phone but this just didn't work out for me. read more

This Italian bakery is a little jewel in Blue Bell, PA. I've been to LOTS of Italian bakeries all across the U.S. and this by far beats all of them in terms of quality and flavor. They have the BEST tiramisu cake EVER. I first had the cake at a friend's house when I was a teenager, and no tirasimu I've had since then has compared. The cream is very light, hazelnut and coffee flavored, sandwiched between light fluffy and moist cake layers. It's not too sweet, but perfectly delectable, not drenched in liquor, and SOOO GOOOOD!! Their cookies are also DELICIOUS!!! Any of their mini cookies stuffed with jam (raspberry, strawberry or apricot) with a thin coating of white chocolate or milk chocolate. The cookie part is just fluffy and light, melts-in-your-mouth-GOOD with the perfect amount of jam inside, all so soft but the crispy chocolate cover makes it SOOO delicious and unique, a perfect soft cookie with the crispy chocolate shell. YOU MUST STOP BY HERE if you're in the area. Get their tiramisu cake and some of their jam-filled cookies. SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The worst customer service you can imagine... I understand there is a language barrier because I grew up in an Italian household, with two fluent speaking Italian parents, grandparents , etc., right off the boat. But seriously , have some courtesy! This "lovely" woman cut me off while taking my order, rushing through because she had just opened and was VERY busy . If that's the case, please, take my number and call me back. This cake was suppose to be for my child's christening.... I want it to be right! And their pastries are so average from what I've tasted one time. Not to mention there's never a soul in their parking lot. I will never give them business. They have no idea how to deal with people. Obviously I canceled my order... The only reason I tried ordering from this dump is because logistically it made sense for our event and where we live. I'll go where my business is wanted and appreciated. Not a place that has arrogant owners and employees. If you want authentic, legit Italian specialties and decent friendly people , go see Nonno's bakery in Hatboro, Pa! read more

This is my new favorite dessert destination! I don't even know where to begin with them. I was looking for an Italian rum cake at the last minute and they made it fresh for me. When I went to pick it up I decided to grab some tiramisu and chocolate mousse and those were also amazing! The staff was extremely helpful & friendly. The desserts were all a hit at our party & they had a wide selection. I will definitely be going back! read more

Roma Bakery is right next door to Trinacria. My friend bought one of their tiramisu cakes for me, which was one of the sweetest gifts ever (and literally). It wasn't too shabby! I am not a fan of sweets - especially tiramisu - but everyone else who had a slice was pretty excited about its light texture, and the fact that part of it tasted like ice cream. I'll have to check out their other offerings so I can inflict cakes upon others. read more

Purchased a pound cake for a birthday celebration and the icing fell off the sides- after all the years of purchasing birthday cakes this has never happened before. Called the next day to let the bakery know what happened and asked what type of icing was on the cake. I was told it was buttercream and needed to be refrigerated. I suggested that perhaps the store should let patrons know this when they picked up their cake as I didn't know it had to be refrigerated. I was rudely told that "well now you know" and hung up on. My family and myself have purchased numerous items from this bakery all of which have been absolutely delicious. We will have to seriously reconsider whether we will purchase again due to the rudeness and poor customer service. A simple apology would have sufficed! read more

I have always loved coming here right before a holiday and getting a few pounds of their butter cookies and a tiramisu cake. Recently, I've discovered their mini desserts, which are just amazing. Try the tarufini and the ricotta tarts! The owners here are always ready with smiles and can make you just about any baked creation. I should also note that my family will only get our tiramisu from here. read more

This my favorite bakery, hands down. The staff are extremely nice and talented. Every item I've ever bought here is extraordinary.

Amazing authentic Italian bakery right in my hometown. This place has been here for ages - I don't know why I haven't stopped in before now. Perhaps I thought a bakery in small town Blue Bell, PA couldn't possibly compare to the bakeries of the Little Italys in big cities I've visited. What a fool I've been. I ordered a tiramisu cake in a personal cup for $3.99. This was the best tiramisu I've ever had. It was decadent and creamy but impossibly light. It was just slightly sweet so that you don't feel sick after two bites. I also had four mini desserts: blueberry pie, lemon pie, cream puff and ricotta tart. Each was so tasty and again, not overly sweet. I really liked the chewy orange zest bits in the ricotta tart and the lemon pie filling was perfectly smooth and sweet/sour. They also have custom decorated cookies for order, some airbrushed with designs. These looked only slightly cheesy like airbrushed tshirts you get at the shore but I bet they are very tasty since they don't have all that too-sweet icing on them. They do take credit cards but with a minimum of $19. I will definitely be back soon to sample more of their goodies. read more
