Alfonso's Pastry Shoppe

"I just stopped in there for the first time today. When I came home I found the cookies to be just terrific, and very fresh. I bought 1/2lb each of taralle, savoiardi, crocagnoli, and fig cookies in addition to two raspberry rugalachs. They were all excellent and they taste and feel far fresher than those at most bakeries I've been to I look forward to stopping by again the next time I am local and wanting pastries!"

"Has been a part of the neighborhood for years. The products they produce are well made and we never had an issue. The fresh breads are great. We particularly love the Meat Bread. Prices are extremely high (40 dollars for a 2 pound of cookie tray). A 5 pound tray had a price of 98 bucks!!!! INSANE Personally I think bakery prices are way too high recently, The staff are very friendly and helpful. Owner or manager seems very hands on and looking for improvements."

"I have only had their Sugar Free stuff And it was delicious. The cake had to be preordered which was okay. They only needed 24 hours notice. There was enough options to not feel stuck. The pastries were good. No after taste or anything and were the actual size of a normal pastry not extra small cause they are special made. My only complaint would be the sugar free cheesecake was crumbly not smooth. And the sugar free cannoli filling was gritty not smooth. I’m guessing because sweeteners don’t melt the same as sugar. HOWEVER it did not stop me from enjoying the cheesecake or cannolis"

"Love this place! Always have delicious fresh cookies and pastries. I make it a point to be there early on Sunday and holidays because they sell out the bread quickly. There can be a line out the door at times, so expect a bit of a wait, but totally worth it!"

"Seems like the quality is declining. Got half Italian Cheese cake and OMG, it looked like it came out of the trash or it has been in someone’s basement for a week. Not only the visual condition of it was disgusting, but it tasted like a cardboard mixed with a shoe. I was very disappointed and feel like I was robbed and paid for something that went straight to the trash. In addition the bread has been hard and didn’t seem to be fresh. It is disappointing that the prices go up and quality going down."
