I got a white chocolate dipped canoli with half banana pudding & half cookie butter. My friend got the pistachio dipped canoli with half pistachio filling and half banana pudding. We also got some Italian wedding cookies. This was a cute little bakery attached to the Sicilian Butcher restaurant. The staff was friendly & attentive and willing to give us sample flavors of fillings.

They have many different flavors and I decided on Belgian dark chocolate. This gelato is not super sweet but has an amazing flavor. I could eat a bucket of this! It's that good! Wife had a scoop of the sea salt caramel and she loved it. We also got a traditional cannoli. They have a large assortment of Italian pastries and cakes. Highly recommend this place for your sweet tooth. Yelp needs to have a 6th star for this bakery!

We will have a standing monthly order from now on!

Finally stopped into this bakery when I was on the east side of town. There isn't great signage but…read morethere's lots of street parking nearby and the maps takes you right to it. Walking in the girls working that day were so friendly and helpful. I ordered an assortment of pastries. Cinnamon roll, strawberry puff pastry, chocolate chip cookie, cupcake, strawberry cream pastry and pistachio cream filled pastry. Prices are fair and there's so many options to choose from it's a bit overwhelming because I'm indecisive and want to try everything lol The pastries were all fresh and the ingredients were as well. The cream fillings in the pastries were fluffy and light. I wish the strawberry choux bun had a stronger strawberry flavor as it really tasted like just cream as well as the pistachio pastry. I'll have to try a mini pie and other goods next time I'm around!

Went in to give this place a try after reading some reviews. Probably won't drive out of the way to…read morestop here again. We ordered a few different things to give a fair review, and honestly overall this place is just ok. Not horrible, just not that great. We had.. *sausage roll * ham and Swiss *cinnamon roll (regular) *cookies and cream cup cake *raspberry pop tart *chocolate chip cookie Sausage roll pastry dough was good, but the meat inside was not very flavorful. Ham and Swiss, the ham was just a single thin slice of deli meat. The cinnamon roll also missing something... maybe more sugar and better quality cinnamon? Perhaps salt in the dough? I'm not sure how they prepare theirs but definitely looked better than it tasted. Raspberry pop tart was my favorite item! Husband had no complaints on the cupcake.

I was only in the mood for pastries, but I would love to come back to try their quiches and coffee. There's a decent amount of seating, but not sure how busy it might get on a weekend morning. I opted for a kouign amann and a chausson aux pommes, which is like an apple turnover. Everything looked reasonably priced. The kouign amann and the chausson were perfectly flaky and hit the spot. I wasn't able to eat both pastries the same day, and I felt like they still held pretty well the next day. So glad I got to try this place and I'll be back!!

You order at the counter from the selection of quiches and pastries which are labeled with the price and description. Once you order, they'll heat up your selections as relevant and bring out to you with silverware. They also didn't mind cutting some of our items in half for sharing. We had the Malmaison quiche ($9.50, with bacon, ham, herbs, tomato), a ham and cheese croissant, and a lemon danish croissant pastry. The quiche was so fluffy and delicious! And the ham and cheese croissant was excellent. Very flaky and lots of fillings. The lemon pastry was good but I don't think I was in much of a sweets mood. Can't wait to come back for more!

Truly the most underrated Asian bakery in the area (and my personal favorite as a Canto girl!)…read more First off, BF Bakery 100% offers the softest milk breads around. You won't be getting dry bolo bao or pastries with an underwhelming amount of filling. Their traditional HK pastries are perfect and consistent every time. Lesser known fact: they've been killing the pastry fusion game. My favorite is a pastry that blends curry, pork sung, and green onion milk breads into one. They also have a milk bread loaf that's half green tea/red bean and half coconut. I think they've even had pork sung red bean once which is admirably wild?? Their latest releases have also been phenomenal. The flaky, sesame-covered radish and spring onion pies taste like they're straight out of a dim sum restaurant, and the salted cream custard bun was so aromatic and creamy. Also worth noting that BF Bakery has long since previous reviews resolved any fly issues. All pastries are bagged, and even free samples have been in sealed containers. So convenient to also be able to check out at the grocery registers if the line gets long!

We've only been to the one in Old Town Mesa, by the fine art theater. Just glad its not next door, because I'd start living there! Not to sound like a hoity toity food snob, (kind of like when someone says they are not a "conspiracy theorist," but then they go into great lengths about conspiracies -- I'll be a snob here. Their pastries and breads are next level. They aren't just baking an excellent product (which would be enough to make me happy in area that lacks artisan bakers) they are "crafting" baking art. I hate to compare to the European Bakery craft (because there are plenty of great American bakers) but Europe does have that as a trademark (at least France, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.) If all I ate eat each day was one of their croissants, it would be enough - theirs just flake away from the outside, and then a tender airy sourdough inside. Pain au Chocolate - excellent. Croissant - excellent. Oh -- Chocolate Chuck cookie - unbelievable. Best I've ever had. Chewy, buttery, crunchy. Not caky. I'll be heading back for sourdough bread and other goodies. No photos - I eat the goods too fast.

I know they're vegetarian, but I wanted to double check with her. She responds as "vegetarian means no meat, right"? All employees working at a food establishment should know what vegetarian means. This was quite baffling to hear. I asked her for a new slice because the one that was out on display was visibly burned and the other slice was touching pepperoni from the meat pizza. As mentioned, I'm a vegetarian. Therefore, I could not have either one of those slices. She proceeds to say that's how the pizzas are. They are slightly burned because they are so sourdough. While I can accept this answer, I do not accept the fact that she would not be willing to give me another slice as a paying customer. She insensitively said she can't give me a new one until all the old slices are taken up. She mentioned that this is their procedure. According to this, they are saying that they will not provide a proper product unless the old, damaged product, or unacceptable by the customer is used up first. If this is their business model, then it is apparent they do not value customer service. This business should have the competence to understand that if they want to sell a product, they cannot sell it in a condition that the customer is not satisfied with. Most importantly, being a vegetarian, they should have the sensitivity to understand that if a slice is touching the meat product then they cannot consume it. And again, the employee completely disregarded my health and religious beliefs by not accommodating me. You usually won't encounter problems when you're just trying to buy bread. However, it reflects on the business's employees greatly when there is a problem and they do not value customer service by resolving or accommodating the customer's satisfaction. I will be switching to Noble exclusively. Especially since it's so readily available at the farmers markets and stores.
