Best sweet treats around

by bdee1977

The cafe setting is so fun to sit and sip a coffee and enjoy a little sweet treat. There are big picture windows in the front so while you're enjoying your desert you can watch the people walk by in Little Italy. It is a wonderfully romantic spot and everything is delicious.

• Pros: food & setting
• Cons: parking

I love this Bakery!

Great pastries, and good food.

It is a great place to take your kids.

This sunny, stylish cafe has been a Little Italy mainstay for more than 100 years.

In Short
Buttery homemade cookies, irresistible fruit tortes and creamy ricotta-filled cannoli set this cozy coffeehouse apart from its laptops-and-lattes competition. That, and soul: The Presti family has helmed this Little Italy tradition since 1903, but the remodeled blond-wood floors and sleek black fixtures make the glassed-in space contemporary. Non-bakery bites like wedding soup, sub sandwiches and pizza-by-the-slice (all less than $4) are as satisfying as people-watching from the wrought-iron tables.
