The man working behind the counter today was a KING. My friend and I stopped by for the first time and it was really close to closing. I was expecting to just kinda get in, fuel my sugar addiction, and leave. But this guy was LITERALLY. SO. NICE. We had a great conversation with him, and he was even kind enough to offer us two donuts and some cookies on the house. Not only that but those along with everything else we got tasted absolutely immaculateeee 10/10

Came here for the cannolis. They're really good, answer the call, but not as flavorful as you'd want out of an authentic Italian place. This place is cash only, be on the lookout for that, considering most cash-only have switched over since 2020. Old cafes are awesome, and this old one misses some of the charm. I would try their cannolis again.Parking: Paid street parking, very limited, including on weekends.Wheelchair accessibility: Double door, one opens, flat interior.

Ordered a carrot cake for my wife's birthday two weeks before the date. When I arrived to pick it up, it was ready, beautifully decorated and it was a joy to interact with the owners of the bakery. The cake was perhaps the best carrot cake that I have ever had... no more Bredenbeck's for me, from now on Cafe Roma....

It is cash only if you're going to visit! I had a wonderful cappuccino and jelly donut! It felt like I was back in time before smart phones, able to relax with a group of people and chat the day away with the pastry and drink! I had a great time and highly recommend a visit. Please take time out of your day for a sweet treat here.

I love this place! They are so sweet and lovely. We get donuts here every week as a treat for the family and an assortment when we have family visiting from out of town. Can’t wait to try a cake for special occasion.

I bought a red velvet birthday cake that was incredibly delicious. The entire table was raving. The fellow in the shop was so friendly and cheerful. And he decorated the cake beautifully. Best bakery experience ever!

I bought a cheesecake and a chocolate birthday cake. Amazing!! The cheesecake was so so rich and creamy. I love how they wrote happy birthdayv and then a little design on top. The chocolate cake was so good, the flavor of the chocolate was just amazing, my daughter was trying to guess what kind of chocolate it was. This is the 2nd year I got birthday cakes there and will buy from them again next year!!

What they decide to make, they make well. The tiny crème puffs are addictive and pricy.

Cafe Roma has been operating since the early 80’s. They make fantastic doughnuts, pastries, cakes, and coffee/espresso. This place is the opposite of Dunkin Donuts. It’s authentic, has bigger portions, does the basics very well, and has friendly staff. I would continue to give them business and recommend them to friends. Get the jelly donuts.

Super delicious. Best eclair I’ve had in my life. The filling is amazing. Not overly sweet either. A beautiful little authentic mom n pop shop. Cash only!
