Conti’s Pastry Shoppe in The Bronx has been creating high-quality Italian baked treats since 1921, when Augustino Conti opened the business in The Bronx after working at somebody else’s bakery. Today, the bakery, under new ownership since Conti’s grandson sold the business in 2001, continues to specialize in delicious Italian pastries that include cannoli. But it is also the go-to bakery in the borough when local customers need to buy a customized cake of any kind, for a birthday, wedding or any other occasion, or want classic French pastries such as Napoleons or cream puffs. Online reviewers praise the bakery’s cakes, cannoli and other treats, along with the quality of its service.

Zeppieri & Sons Italian Bakery has been producing quality baked good for the community for more than 50 years. The family run business was founded by Carmine Zeppieri (also known as “Butchie”) in 1968 and first served only bread. But after Carmine and one of the saleswomen named Ann fell in love, the two created a family, and their sons were helping run the bakery by the early 1980s. The store blossomed into a full bakery with ten bakers, offering the best cookies, pastries, pies and cakes alongside their bread. From holiday-themed treats and customized cakes for special occasions to a classic cannoli to take for the road, any sweet tooth will love Zeppieri & Son’s Italian Bakery.
