If you’re looking for the best bread in town and don’t mind a side of mild emotional abuse, this bakery is the place for you.
The Bread? Life-Changing.
The moment you take a bite, you’ll wonder if you were born in the wrong century, because this bread tastes like it was handcrafted by medieval monks using ancient secrets. Crust? Perfectly crisp. Inside? Fluffy, warm, and borderline spiritual. You’ll want to buy extra just to apologize to your past self for ever eating store-bought bread.
The Staff? Hilariously Rude.
Ever been judged for your pastry choices? You will be. Ask a question, and you’ll get a look that says, “You seriously don’t know that?” Order too slowly? Expect an exaggerated sigh. But somehow, it adds to the charm—like a grumpy grandma who secretly loves you but would never admit it.
Final Verdict
Come for the unreal bread, stay for the comedic hostility. Just don’t expect warm smiles—unless you count the warmth of a fresh baguette smacking you with judgment. 10/10 would get roasted again.

Great place for fresh bread. So many different flavors to choose from. Came here for the olive bread. A little salty. Generous amount of olives. Semolina was delicious. Went with one of those large black and white cookies for a late snack.

Best bakery in the Bronx!

The best Cannoli in Little Italy! The Cannolis here are filled fresh and are the best in Little Italy! The filling is super creamy and perfectly sweetened. Not overly rich either. The shell was perfect! Service was friendly and quick. Their other baked goods especially the biscotti looked tasty. I have to go back to try them..

I was so excited about this place! I could not wait to try the olive bread. I was quickly let down when I realized that they utilize additives in their bread. If I wanted poison in my bread I would go to the grocery store and purchase “insert big brand name here”. I was let down when I read the additive Potassium bromate. This is an ingredient listed on the bag. Potassium bromate (KBrO3) is an oxidizing agent that has been used as a food additive, mainly in the bread-making process. Although adverse effects are not evident in animals fed bread-based diets made from flour treated with KBrO3, the agent is carcinogenic in rats and nephrotoxic in both man and experimental animals when given orally. I guess if you don’t care then it won’t matter though. At least they were transparent about it. In a good note the service was exceptional! But I won’t be back.

My coworker knows that I’m an olive bread lover, so as a gift, she surprised me with a loaf from this place. I’ve had a lot of olive breads in my life, and I must say this is by far the best I have ever had

Amazing bread and deserts. Always fresh out of the oven. The tri color cookies/ rainbow cookies are phenomenal. It’s cash only but worth the visit. Excellent bakery
Cash only place. Service was ok, same with the bread and pastries. Much like other establishments on Arthur Ave - not sure that it's worth the trek, which includes a 20 minute walk from the subway stop to get there.
Prepare to be ignored if you are a hijabi. Staff were friendly to everyone else though. I’ve had better cannolis anywhere in the
