Serpe & Sons Bakery

My dad’s birthday was yesterday and I needed a high quality cake in a pinch. I picked out a cake called death by chocolate and it is probably the best chocolate cake Ive ever had, unlike grocery store cakes, this one was nice and moist and the icing was actually delish and not that weird icing the put on grocery store cakes. The staff were so polite and nice, specifically the woman in a cheetah print cardigan, she was very patient and kind.
Overall really impressed and will be returning.

We live in MD and drove an hour to get to Serpe & Sons. WELL WORTH THE DRIVE!

We're originally from NY, and miss the high quality Italian Pastries we got there. I've had a craving for authentic, traditional Napoleon, so we thought we'd try Serpe & Sons.

The Napoleon was incredible! Brought us back to our childhood! The cream had the perfect texture and sweetness, with beautifully crafted phyllo dough layers, and the vanilla royal icing with chocolate drizzled on top was phenomenal. My mouth is watering just remembering the taste.

We didn't stop with just ordering Napoleon! We had a sausage loaf which we loved. Similar to a Stromboli, but the sausage was crumbled, and the cheese was creamy and delicious. I tasted it cold first, and I really liked it! But it's exponentially better heated. SO good.

We had little bite-size pies/tarts (pictured). DELICIOUS! We tried key lime, apple, and cherry. Each was as good as the next.

We weren't fans of the mini cannoli,, but to be honest, we didn't expect to. They're pre-filled, and the cannot shell gets soft. But the cream was delicious.

The cream puffs were great, as were the cream-filled clams!

We'll surely be back!!a. You've got to try this place!

Awesome mom and pop place with a huge selection.

A lot of restaurants in the area use their bread.

Italian and rye bread is excellent.

Need to get my hands on a t-shirt!

Stopped in this morning to grab a birthday cake for my wife and some tomato pie... Since it's "pie" I think it's ok to eat for breakfast. :-) yum!

I have gotten atleast two Birthday cakes from here. They were delicious. The staff is always polite and attentive to what you are looking for.

Well the tomato pie is always on point. I just got some of their jumbo steak/sub rolls and omg they are so soft. They tasted amazing using them for my home made steak sandwich. My girl friend said we are also going to use them to make home made french bread pizza

I ordered cupcakes at last minute for my moms birthday. Serpes was very accommodating and had them ready with short notice. The cupcakes were very delicious. Thanks for making my moms 92nd birthday very special. Their tomato pie is also very good. I recommend them very highly.

Serpes is and always has been a very good and consistent bakery . Red pie hasn't changed a bit . Cannolies are still the best . Pepperoni rolls on time .. baklava, brownies,tarts and cookies all are very good. Tried the carrot cake and it was moist and tasty.

Excellent bakery. Lots of variety. All very tasty. Easy parking.

Absolutely worth the drive to go get their awesome Tomato Pie. The taste is amazing and it’s hard to stop eating!

During the holidays, the shop is always busy. This year, the line was out the door and all the way across the side of the building. However, the Serpe's team did a wonderful job at keeping the line moving. The staff was friendly and helpful. The tomato pie was good, as always. The Italian pastries did not disappoint. Products were fresh and delicious. Recommend visiting if you're not planning to make your own homemade pastries.

Serpes never fails to deliver when purchasing the most delicious birthday cakes! I highly recommend the chocolate with white icing but all types are worth a try. They also offer a great selection of rolls & sweets. Staff is friendly & helpful. Call ahead to make sure they have the special item your looking for because it's a popular local bakery and items go quickly!

Great bakery. I always order my wife's birthday cakes from here. They're really detailed and the butter cake is amazing. You can literally smell the cake as soon as you walk in the room. I've also had the tomato pie and it was good.

Just had some of their tomato pie. i know tomato pie and when i say Serpes tomato pie is the best i ever had, i mean its the best. I live in the Philly area and ive had tomato pie from many places in the drea. Serpes is wort the trip to Elsemere. Thanks to Joe Cannova for turning me on to this place

Serpe & Sons is something special.

The tomato pie is phenomenal- about the best I've had, and tomato pie is one of my favorites since I was a kid. I also tried the sausage filled bread, which was just perfect. All of the desserts were delicious as well - tarts, carrot cake, and of course cannoli!

I was raised in central PA in a small town that was mostly Italian. We had 6 or so little Italian bakeries and I grew up eating their tomato pie. It has been so many years since I've left that area, but this took me right back. I went on to live a majority of my adult life on Mott St in New York's Little Italy and the sweets at Serpe & Sons bypassed the expectations they set.

Although I live 2 hours from Serpe & Sons, I will be back, and I'll be back often. A friendly team and a great experience.

This is the second time Serpes has come through for us last minute when other bakeries did not. Thank you for yet another amazing cake. We got so many compliments on how delicious it was, and you made my 5-year-old daughter so happy. You have our family’s business exclusively from here on out!!

Serpe's is always a great experience. Whether you're just looking for a morning danish, fresh bread or a pie they always have a great selection. Now they have Italian food specialties, Woodside ice cream, all kinds of stuff. I never leave without pepperoni bread!

I've used this bakery on several occasions. Most recently, I received cupcakes from here, for my birthday. They were SUPER DELICIOUS and the cake was the perfect consistency. I will definitely be using them, again. I definitely recommend these folks to anyone, especially for special occasions. If you want it done right, get it from Serpe's!

I walked in around 2pm on Sunday no other customers in the shop about 6 people came in 2min later the staff was very quick to wait on people we were out of there real quick they have the best Tomato Pie and really great rolls. I wish I lived closer I ❤ Serpe's Bakery

This is the place to be for baked goods! Their tomato pie is the best! I picked up a birthday cake and it was awesome! Homemade cream cheese icing is so good! Definitely worth a stop!
