Bella Palermo Pastry Shop

If I could give this bakery 10 stars, I would without hesitation. The Italian rum cake is to die for, the carrot cake is one of the best I’ve ever had, and the black and white buttercream is delicious! I come here often to pick up cakes for special occasions and an assortment of Italian cookies to bring home to my dad. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly! This bakery is top notch.
Updated to include Photos of Italian Rum Cake, Carrot Cake, Black & White Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, and Pina Colada Cake - highly recommend any of these!

Let’s start with all the folks who work there, so nice. This is one of the best bakeries I’ve encountered. Muffins great, pastise Di Notte great and we just had their Pina Colada coconut three layer cake and it could be the best cake I’ve ever had. Love this place, glad it’s close by.

First time using Bella Palermo Bakery for my mom's 80th birthday party. I was beyond pleased. The cake was beautiful and exactly how I wanted it. Everyone at the party commented on how beautiful it was. And the taste was amazing, fresh, moist delicious!!!

All the pastries were fresh n very good. Girl was very nice too.

Oh my goodness! Their Tres Leches cakes are so good! I got a coconut one for my dad’s birthday and it was DELICIOUS!!😋😋 I need to go back to try everything else!!

I ordered a cake for a bridal shower for a dear friend of mine and the cake was absolutely stunning! I was so impressed. I received numerous compliments about it, with some people saying that it was the most beautiful cake they’ve seen for a bridal shower. The cake itself was tasty & fresh. The ladies at the shop were easy to work with and it was overall affordable. I would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be using them again!

Great local spot! Only have gone a couple times but everything from the bread/ rolls to pasties I’ve tried have been great! I’ll be back!

I love this bakery! Everything tastes and looks wonderful! Maria is the best, she makes us feel welcome and goes above and beyond to make sure we have a good time! My kids also love her, she is great with kids! We have a great time coming in, it's a great family place. I also love the staff, the girls are great and sweet! Everything is also very fresh and tasty!

I ordered a cake for approximately 35 people and can't begin to describe the amazing work they do. I gave them a picture of what I wanted done and received a cake in turn that came out even better than the picture itself, and surpassed what I had even imagined. Not only a beautiful cake, but moist, fresh and delicious. The girls at the counter that took my order were amazing, patient and took all the necessary steps to make sure that what I wanted was delivered. Even the staff when picking up the cake was so accommodating, asking if i need help getting the cake to the car because it was heavy. A truthfully amazing experience, that made the birthday party it was ordered for. Thank you!!!!

Very friendly woman helped me out with a cake! Thank you.

Best Cappuccino! Fresh ground and Deelish! Maria and her staff are awesome and do an amazing job! Empenadas, sandwiches and homemade soup are great!

Fantastic bakery! Ordered my wife's 50th birthday cake here and it was better than expected.

Delicious empanadas.
All the favorite Italian pastries and cookies of your dreams. Plus a fresh, daily soup. Leaving the store with numerous small, neatly folded paperbags instills a reassuring sense of well being for short money

Purchased a tiramisu for my boss'father for his birthday.. I found out that hands down they absolutely loved it. Better than the other (more expensive)cakes he has tried. He states Palermo's was fresh and moist! Omw to pick to pick up some flan for the office!

The best Italian bakery on earth. I have been going to the one in Elizabeth new Jersey since I was a baby. I love their Italian cakes and pastries. Even though I have moved to Pennsylvania then Delaware, I still come home for Bella Palermo,My favorite bakery.

Just ordered a cake for my sons 1st birthday, we did a "where the wild things are" theme. I provides a tiny picture off of my phone and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Couldbt tell the difference between the picture and the the cake they made. Thanks guy!

This is a terrific neighborhood bakery that knows their customer by name. The bread and rolls can't be beat. If you need a cake it's better order a day before. They sell out fast.

Bella Palermo did a most amazing job creating a cake for a retirement party. Not only was the cake delicious but it was a beautiful creation that they reproduced expertly from a photo, thank you!!!

Superb cakes, pastries and cookies

Great little place but the taste is big. Coffee and espresso along with the best cookies and pastries. The display of desserts will make your mouth water.
