Villabate Alba

Drove over an hour just to try this authentic Italian bakery and it was absolutely worth it. My husband loved the espresso and my hot latte was perfectly made. The focaccia was fresh and delicious, you can tell they make everything there daily. We bought a variety of pastries and breads to try, and the pizzette was WOW. Also grabbed some Italian cookies and blueberry pie to take home. Haven’t even finished trying everything yet, but already know we’ll be back. If you want real authentic Italian breads, pastries, and bakery vibes, this place is a must.

Prepare yourself for a visit to the wonderland of bakeries as this place is nothing short of amazing when it comes to Italian pastries, cookies & delights it's like walking into a Christmas bakery with all the colorful treats to choose from and did I mention gelato! An assorted array of Italian ice cream...yum! There's more! Fresh bread is made there along with expresso and other coffee beverages. If you haven't had the Vilabate Alba dessert shop experience don't hesitate and put them on your list of places to visit for all of your sweet & delectable needs.

I already knew their cookies are excellent. Today I tried 2 flavors of Gelato. Omg that eggnog with fruits is amazing. Must return.

This bakery is AMAZING! Everything they make is amazing. My biscoff cake was a big hit. Everyone loved it. It gets extremely crowded and parking is difficult but so worth it. The prices are good too.

Excellent find! I was cannoli shopping while in NY, trying all i could find and while in Brooklyn found this place! I didn't take photos inside since there were signs everywhere asking not to photograph or video, so I only have what I purchased and it was very very good! I ended up with a traditional cannolo, lobster tail and a slice of chocolate cake for the hubs. The cannolo was excellent, im always a fan of the candied orange rind, the filling was sweet, but not overly so and creamy, not too thick like icing. Ive never had a lobster tail, but always wanted to try one. The pastry dough is incredible and flaky, the cream not very sweet, so it would be easy to eat the whole thing! The chocolate cake also very good, but thats the hubby's treat! I asked for a double espresso sweetened with a little whipped cream on top, and it was espresso perfection. The gentleman behind the counter had a rich Italian accent and I felt like I was Italy, the smell of espresso and pastries was awesome! I will definitely be back when I visit again!

This is old school Brooklyn Italian as it gets! Great cannoli's, pastries, cookies, cakes, and bread. It's a true experience. Give it a try!

We visited this large Italian bakery located in central Brooklyn which had all the pastries, cookies, gelato, espresso and ices, cakes cookies anyone could want. They had prosciutto bread and Italian breads as well. It is well worth the trip but you have to be patient for the service because they’ll be waiting on you to make decisions from all the choices you’ll have from whipped cream lobsters, cannoli, cakes, cookies, gelato and ices. Make the trip UA you won’t be disappointed.

This bakery is a Brooklyn staple and is another one that you have to try once. It is an old school spot but is expensive. The cookie tray I got was $50. Insane but the cookies were good. The sfiogtalle is always a favorite of mine and they do a good job here. It has a crunch and flakiness that you can hear all the way from NJ. They have all sorts of stuff in here too. The freshly baked breads were something I would get next time.
