It is St. Joseph's Day. I have never had a zeppola and it's about time I did. So off we went to…read morestand in line at The Original Italian Bakery. The bakery has a small parking lot with about half a dozen spots. A policeman was on duty today to direct cars to the Walgreen parking lot next door when this lot was full, and to let them in when spots were open. As the line of people waiting outside the door to get in was constant, this was very smart planning and much appreciated. Some folks seemed to know St. Joseph's Day was very busy here and had placed orders in advance. These smart shoppers skipped the line and quickly came back outside with their orders bagged up. The line moved pretty well with four shop assistants helping customers. Only about 10 guests, max, fit inside at a time. Once inside bagged breads like sandwich rolls were on shelves while calzone and other meal pastry were in a case. Then, there were three cases full of zeppola. During our visit they had chocolate, pistachio, ricotta and original available. We got one of each. I cut my first zeppola in half and see the cream filling sits all the way down into the pastry. These are firm enough to hold in your hand and bit into. The pastry is very much like that in an éclair. Firm while being light and airy. The original filling is a lovely custard. The chocolate is a fluffy cream base I believe. Both were very tasty. I have two more to try and am looking forward to them. Between these tasty pastry and other items they had for sale there, we'll be back. You should check them out too.

My husband and I were influenced by a few posts we saw mentioning Pastryland's zeppoles-…read morespecifically their ricotta cannoli version. We stopped in yesterday (Sunday morning around 10 a.m.). This was our first time inside the bakery, so we were looking through the fridges and front cases. There were only three other customers in line ahead of us. I asked if they had any ricotta zeppoles, and the woman seemed irritated that I asked and shouted, "NO." They didn't mention whether they had run out or if it's a specialty item that they only make until St. Joseph's Day. I also noticed that they don't have prices listed for anything. The total for a regular zeppole and a bag of pizza dough came to about $9. The zeppole was tasteless and soggy. The pizza dough was equally terrible. Will most likely not return. Also note that the parking lot currently has a massive pothole near one of their entrances.

The carrot cake and banana crème are my hands down favorites, but the lemon cake is very closely behind. Even items like scones that aren't typically amongst my favorites, are made very well.

I ordered an apple tart and a small piece was $7.50! Yes, it was good, and the cream was wonderful, but paying about $2 per bite is outrageous. The value of their drinks might be a little better. I ordered a Cortado and it was delicious. The volume of liquid wasn't too low. $4.25 I would give it 3 stars, but I know not everyone is good with money and many are willing to pay these prices on the east side Providence. The staff was nice, but nothing over the top.

This trip, my dad decided to take my husband and me on a very important "bread journey". We went down a few small roads that led to... a bread shed filled with the most wonderful, fresh-baked goods. We grabbed a classic sourdough, the roasted garlic sourdough loaf, and some cookies. Honestly, I would drive here every weekend if I still lived here! The sourdough is truly phenomenal. The roasted garlic loaf is a masterpiece. It's fantastic when toasted up with some roasted tomatoes and pesto. Just be warned: it's so packed with flavor, it's also a great way to ensure people stay a respectful distance from you all day long (hello, garlic breath!). I also got to try the banana bread brownies. I could do without the frosting, but the actual banana bread base is perfection. This is a great little spot to fulfill all your carbohydrate needs. It's best to follow on instagram to see what will be available for the weekend and either placing a pre-order or risking it all and stopping by when the shed opens to see what you can grab. Everything is so tasty! Five stars for the best bread shed I've ever been to.

We ordered a large lemon blueberry cake for a friend for his wife 50th . We got in the large line before 11 . We asked for our order and we get a few additional items.. I asked for a bagel and the boys said sorry it's after 11. I said we were in line before that he said no I just can't get a bagel by itself. And then he goes to get the cake when he comes back the writing on the cake looked like a five-year-old wrote it. We just spent $65 on the cake and I'm embarrassed to give it to the family. My husband then asked the manager if she could take a peek and maybe fix it for us. She first said I am sure this it is not a blue lemon and he said yes we special ordered it and when she opened it we were right and she then said well we don't usually write on them. He said we can't bring a cake like this? So she had an attitude again and said well then you will have to wait. Very disappointed today.
