Had a steak egg and cheese with extra steak. It was delicious and the vibe in the place was a really “mom and pops” kinda vibe I loved it. Seemed like a family business and the extra steak was truly extra steak, a lot of meat lol. Def going back for breakfast.

Been here twice now and absolutely amazing. Bought some of their cookies and tried a few pastries which were all great. The second time I tried their subs. I got the "George" (chic cutlet w/all sorts of goodness on it) & my daughter got a roast beef that was amazing, forgot to take a pic of hers but below is mine. Take a min to drive here and avoid the chain places for some really good fresh bites

I went here to buy some cookies for Christmas. They have a fair selection. I have to say that I was not impressed by the cookies at all. They seemed pretty stale, not crisp at all. The taste was just okay but they certainly weren't cheap. Service was good and parking is good. I haven't tried any of their other food but this was not a good experience.

While this spot is out of the way for us, it is an absolute must to stop in any time we are in the area. Before I even get to the food, the owner Louise and her son who helps run things are the kind of people who, when you walk in, it feels like you're walking in to Sunday dinner with the family. They're genuine and personable and take time to give each customer an experience rather than just a sale. Now the cookies and pastries... unbelievable. I come from a very Italian centric town and their deserts beat anything I've had near me hands down! The cannolis, the Italian pastries and oh god all the cookies. Its so hard to choose. Everything is fresh and very fairly portioned and priced. The stuffed breads are something you'll want to make sure to grab too since 1 will easily feed a whole family with a nice side salad. And the cherry on top - they even carry Foxon Park soda. 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up - whatever you need to call it. Don't sleep on this tucked away gem.Vegetarian options: There is a deli section where you can build sandwiches and stuffed breads like spinach and tomato.Parking: Plaza parking lot with lots of spacesWheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking is available and very close to the ramp that leads right to the door

Thought about having some Fried dough but not sure who served it. I have to say that is really awesome fried dough and I had both sauce and powder sugar and I felt like I was at a carnival. Excellent service and nice atmosphere. Definitely going back!!

I ordered an 8 inches Italian Rum cake for my dad's 80th birthday. They made an 8 inches Italian cream cake instead which cost $72! They had also left a message to pick up the cake at a later time on a wrong cell phone #, so not only did they write down wrong cell phone # but more importantly, the wrong cake order was taken. No apologies, nothing! Cake was dry and so not worth the $$$! I will never go back there again! I looked at prices of other items, and they are all high!

Just had lunch here, it's a classic Italian deli with prime location right by the ocean. The lady inside was very sweet & welcoming The rice balls are huge & absolutely to die for, stuffed with meat, peas and cheese with a generous drizzle of marinara. I'm not big on sweets myself so I didn't get any of the bakery items however my partner got a mini cheesecake from here which he said was out of this world. We'll definitely be back!

OMG I love this place - what a GEM. This is one of those places where you know the owner and people who work there put their heart into what they do. The location itself is super cute and has a little bit of quaint seating. There are TONS of delicious, fresh baked Italian confections & cookies to choose from, amazingly tasty and well-made cakes, and...fried dough! I ordered a birthday cake - there was a very nice selection of flavors and combinations, and they helped me come up with the perfect cake. I was impressed with how it came out - holy moly, so delicious! It's easy to find very fancy looking cakes that taste like...but Louise's made a lovely cake that I could really eat whole. Everything in there is sparkling clean, really nice breakfast, lunch and bakery menu, and incredibly friendly service. I love seeing women-owned businesses and celebrate their success. I hope to see Louise's continue to flourish!

Absolutely the very best service ever! Louise personally made fresh cream puffs, eclairs an zeppole for me while I waited as she had sold out what was in the cases! Wonderful service, kind and friendly! ?

There Fried Dough Is Delicious And They Give You Speedy Service. They Don't Sell Pizza, But Nevertheless Their Atmosphere Is Nice And Done Up. And They Just Got Remodeled. I Founded Louise's Homemade Food And Baked Goods More Than 30+ Years Ago.
