If you want delicious, fresh Italian desserts this is the place to go. I'm going to have to pace myself, the cannolis are life changing, the custard filled cornetto is also top notch. I thought the lobster tail was ok but man, was it beautiful! Run don't walk...ha ha!!!

I was so excited about going here when I read the reviews. A real Italian bakery here near Taylors!…read moreBut alas, I was extremely disappointed. Yes, it was true that no prices are listed, but I didn't mind that if it was good pastry. As an Italian American brought up on NYC pastries and bakeries, I DO have certain expectations. I was overjoyed that they actually made cassata cake and they had tiny ones, too. I chose one of those and my husband got the Italian cake. Two items, just under $20. The cake was boring and dry, the cassata was a chunk of dense ricotta, two tiny flavorless flecks of chocolate, no as promised rum or cake, for that matter, and just a fondant icing. Zero flavor. Definitely not the cassata cake of my childhood and defining birthday cake of my family for 5 decades. Will not be back.

The cafe is to the left upon entry and the bakery and display is to the right, and what a display!…read moreA Greenville staple for over 75 years, they moved to this location in 2002 and have been named by Southern Living Magazine as the #4 best bakery in the South. The old adage that "we first eat with our eyes" is on full display here; pictures cannot do it full justice. And the smells of the bakery and cafe add to the sensory experience. The bakery side infuses flavors in their treats with flavors wash technique (typically on unbaked products and based on egg and cream mixture) that ensures moist and tender cakes or pastries. One example, for the forthcoming Kentucky Derby they had a cake washed with mint and bourbon that included a mint layer of icing and a bourbon based layer of icing inside the cake to achieve a "mint julep" cake. Of several items we purchased, mostly the cake part is standard white cake with flavor added and very nicely decorated. If one were to judge just on taste, it's essentially a good white cake, the "wow" comes from the decoration and somewhat the flavors. Heavy on the icing. But that is the decadence many want, and it looks great. I had the key lime pound cake and it was good, but a lighter example compared to Granny's (my Granny), so that's an unfair comparison, but it was lighter than anticipated and Granny's isn't the only pound cake I've had. The key lime was more subtle than the visual and mostly came from the glaze. The visual was so good, I asked if we could buy by the slice and the staff agreed to slice up a full cake for my slice and since they were getting low on pre-sliced available pound cake options. My wife loved it all! They do have take and bake casseroles and the cafe side has great sandwiches, an admirable Reuben if I remember. We must come here more often as it is very good and convenient and Granny took here recipe to the grave years ago, (RIP).

I went in for some pastries and everything was laminated and a chocolate chip cookie. Nothing really stood out and everything looked like they left it in the over for a few minutes too long. Everything was baked hard and looked close to tasting bitter and over done. I know some bakeries claim that's the French way but we're not in France. We can not borderline burn things. Anyway I considered the almond croissant But it looked skimming like 4 sliced almonds on top and I just knew the inside wouldn't have nearly enough filling for me. I finally settled for a baguette since I was already there and made the drive from Atlanta, I had to buy something. The baguette was decent and had a nice sour Dough flavor. No complaints about it Service was ok. Felt a little dry over all but nothing horrible or great.
