50 Best Bakeries in Bronx

“If you’re ever in the Bronx and you don’t stop at Gino’s Pastry Shop, you’re missing out on a piece of real New York history. This Arthur Avenue staple has been serving up authentic Italian pastries for decades, and it’s exactly what you want from an old-school bakery — no frills, just flavor and tradition. The cannoli? Legendary. They fill them fresh to order, and the shells are crisp, flaky perfection with creamy ricotta that tastes like it was whipped up by someone’s Nonna in the back. The sfogliatelle and lobster tails are equally iconic — sweet, buttery, and loaded with filling. Don’t sleep on the rainbow cookies either — they’re dense, almondy, and always spot-on. The shop itself is cozy, with that classic Italian-American charm. Gino and the crew treat you like family, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Prices are super fair for the quality, and it’s cash-only — so come prepared. Bottom line: Gino’s isn’t just a pastry shop, it’s a Bronx institution. Worth the trip, worth the calories, and worth every bite.“

“I immediately noticed that this is a homemade patty. Not your traditional flaky Jamaican patty with excessive shortening or butter cut into the dough. That being said, for the lack of flake, there is no shortage of flavor. What a delicious bite. The beef and the chicken were both tasty and well seasoned.

I did not stay inside of the store longer than two minutes at most. Extremely efficient customer service.

I ate the patties too quickly and was unable to provide a photo for this review.“

“love this place! the people are very nice and friendly“

“Crepe House is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with great quality ingredients. The crepes are amazing, and the service is always friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Omar, who always provides excellent customer service and makes every visit a great experience.“

“This has to be the best Burek in town.“

“Used to go the Mount Vernon shop when I was a kid, then after the fire and they moved to the Bronx..followed them down there- EVEN when the current owner bought from the gentile older man from MV... "Paul" has kept up standards. The Coco Breads are THE BOMB - I'd know, I was taught to make them at the bakery my Granny worked in Mo'bay every summer! A MUST HAVE !!!! Go out of your way. Brave the parking situation. DO IT, you will not regret it!“

“I’ve ordered cake for my events several times, and they have never let me down. Always punctual, and the cake stays fresh even the next day. So far, it’s the best Dominican cake I’ve ever tried, and the 4 Leche is amazing too. I highly recommend it!“

“Beautiful homemade cake and very delicious! I ordered for Mother’s Day after seeing good Google reviews, and they did not disappoint. The cake looked amazing, tasted fresh, and the service was excellent. They even sent me a picture before pickup. Highly recommended!“

“I love Zeppieri's Bakery. The lobster tails are the best and they make seasonal cupcakes and cookies that are out of this world. The bread is the absolute best!!!! The ladies at the counter are kind, even when super busy, polite and knowledgable always cheerful and sweet. I adore this neighborhood gem!“

“Having Italian Grandparents and mother, they always had cookies and Struffoli around their house in Jersey during Christmas. I’m so thankful to have found Artuso’s! Their cookies and Struffoli are awesome. Artuso’s has helped bring back memories! Thank y’all! A very satisfied North Carolina family! Merry Christmas 🎁🎄“

“Madonia brothers bakery was excellent to try the staff was friendly and helpful and management could not do enough to help me out the customer service excellent and the bread rolls cakes slices pies and sausage are fresh made every day and melt in your mouth“

“Experience was great!“

“Don’t be fooled by the smallness of the place. The breakfast sandwiches are some of the tastiest I’ve ever had. I was looking to order a cake for a birthday, and I was impressed by their photos on Instagram as well as the flavor of the slices they had for sale (one of which I received as a gift). I provided a picture of what I wanted and they did not disappoint! Besides looking beautiful, the cake was moist and flavorful, even days later. Highly recommended!“

“Cakes are just as delicious as always !! So grateful for the Valencia Crew for organizing a trip to multiple cities in Florida !! So many Boricuas showing up at all locations ! Truly special ! Valencia is #1 ….. not hurry up and open up in Palm Beach !“

“Grew up in the area and was sad that our go-to Chinese restaurant closed down. We decided to try out the bakery/cafe that opened in the location, and we were happy to find a great addition to the neighborhood!
Before we even entered, an exiting customer proudly shouted to us that this was THE spot to go to. Our server, Louis, was very friendly and attentive to us. We were also pleasantly surprised that the matcha we ordered actually tasted like matcha and not just pastel green-colored milk that some places in the area have served. We'll definitely be coming here again.“

“Must go. Had breakfast here and the owner just brought out an assortment of food. Everything was sooo delicious. Everyone else was a regular who came in and got themselves some self serve coffee. Off the beaten path, will be discovered when infatuation shows up here one day.“

“Paradise on Earth, still the best👍👍“

“Delillo pastry shop is one of those neighborhood gems to sit and enjoy exceptional coffee and pastries that are out of this world in quality. We highly enjoyed their Eclairs and Cappuccinos. They also sell a variety of Torrone flavors and we bought several as a gift for family.

The shop employees were so nice and helpful as well. This is truly a great place to stop and sit either inside, or out on the patio, and enjoy true Italian pastry. The only downside is that our stomachs ran out of room!

It was nice to know that they also ship out of state! We will certainly be getting more in future.“

“I’ve been going to this bakery since 2016 when I was 14-15 years old, I unfortunately can’t go as much anymore, but I will alwaysss love this place. I love the owners and ofc the delicious baked goods. The sizing and affordability is just so unbelievable considering how expensive everything is this day….this spot is the definition of a hidden gem. Praying for more longevity and success for the owners 💜“

“It was my first time coming to this place. I saw the video on tiktok so I decided to give it a try. I bought the steak sandwich and the chicken sandwich delicious. Both of them. I also had orange juice natural juice that they squeeze right there on the spot and I also had bread pudding which is not good. The taste is horrible and I also had that Dominican cake that is made with milk. It was all right. Would I go back? I definitely will go back but I would not buy dessert. I did not like how it tastes“

“The dominican cake is delicious 😋“

“Amazing bakery!!! I couldn’t be happier with the birthday cake I ordered from this bakery. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. They captured every detail flawlessly, and the cake itself was beautiful. I want to especially acknowledge Marisol for her exceptional customer service. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly patient, ensuring everything was exactly right. Her professionalism truly elevated the entire experience. Thank you for going the extra mile, Marisol.“

“I Love to shop at the independent vendors of this retail market. All of the vendors offer exceptional quality products & great customer service.“

“Can you consider using actual strawberry puree, or whatever of fresh strawberries on top of your cheesecake? I don't like the artificial strawberry flavor jelly type thing on your cheesecake sold in Bainbridge. Also have bread pudding with and without carmel sauce. Puerto Ricans like myself, and other Hispanics do like with carmel sauce. I don't know who of Mexican background told the woman working there that Hispanic don't like with sauce. Maybe that particular person, or Mexicans but not all Hispanics. Can you also make scones, lobster tail pastry, muffins, stuff you can have for breakfast on the go? The store mostly just has desserts for later in the day(cookies,cakes).“

“The grub is great but the staff are slow. I initially couldn't find the location while in the area, which nearly got me lost, but had to do some searching only to find that it was a hole-in-a-wall. As with the other AA's usually the food is expensive, so only go occasionally. Also, they should start posting when they are out-of-stock when a product is requested. It could save a headache.“
