Looking to purchase a birthday cake I didn't have time to make from scratch and I really want better than a grocery store cake. So I scrolled bakeries on Yelp and saw photos of Borrelli's shelves with cakes available for sale. Perfect! I hopped in the car and Wow, do they have a lot of cakes for sale! There are several display cases with cupcakes, pastry, donuts, cakes, calzones, spinach pies, breads. So much deliciousness. The person I was buying a birthday cake for does not particularly like cake so I wasn't quite sure what to get. They do sell the large frosted cookies, but I wasn't sure that was quite right. Then I saw it. Tiramisu! A great big round Tiramisu cake! Yes! We stuck some candles in there, sang happy birthday and cut it along the lady fingers around the edge. A 'two finger' slice or a 'one finger' slice made serving easy. And OMG, this is SO. Good! Creamy, coffee tiramisu cream with layers of lady fingers in between. Not too sweet, lots of coffee flavor. We easily got 12 servings and everyone loved it. Even the non-cake eating birthday recipient. Yay! There is no price list posted in the shop so I ask for the price of the item I was interested in. Credit card sales have a small transaction fee added (one dollar for my order) or use cash to avoid the fee. The entrance does not appear to be wheelchair accessible. Not sure if they have a different entrance? But there is a curb between the parking lot and the door. Just fyi. There were three staff members out front when we arrived to assist customers. Two were working with another customer and I spent a good deal of time checking out all the display cases and talking with my husband. No one interrupted my perusal. When I looked up to ask a question a young woman made eye contact and assisted me with my purchase. Very pleasant to speak with and she quickly boxed up my cake and wrapped it with twine. All together an excellent experience. read more

I stopped in to get my son a cookie cake for a special event with some added goodies on the side. The cookie cake was soft, chewy and delicious with really good frosting and candy eggs. The lemon square was stuffed with lemon filling and the crust was baked perfectly. The double chocolate cake was perfect with the wine and was just the right size for an after dinner dessert. read more

I recently went into Borrelli's to grab stuff for Valentine's Day. I was there around 8:30 and they already had a line. It moved pretty quickly! The employees were friendly enough and I loved the large array of options available. My top item was probably the lemon bismark, the donut was super fluffy, the combo of whipped cream, and pastry cream was spot on. I also wanted to give a calzone a try, it was hard to narrow it down! I ended up going with chicken parm since I knew it was my husband's favorite. He loved it! I appreciated that they used large pieces of chicken and the sauce was super flavorful. I look forward to heading in here again and bringing my son! He will certainly have a hard time making a decision with all the deliciousness. read more

Borrelli's has the biggest selection of pastries and bakery items I've ever seen. I originally went in just for one apple square... but if you check out my pictures, you'll see I left with way more than I planned -- and zero regrets! Their spinach, olive, and cheese bread is hands-down the best I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and addictive. What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. Truly one of the kindest people in business. I had tried to visit twice before -- once they were on vacation, and the other time they were renovating. When I finally made it in and mentioned it to the owner, he disappeared into the back and came out with two apple squares on the house to make up for the missed visits. That level of customer service is rare these days, and it made me a customer for life... or at least until I go on a diet! read more

You can't go wrong purchasing good old fashioned bakery goods! Can't walk out of there with just one item! Everything is delicious!

I appreciate having this little bakery so close by. They carry a decent assortment of tasty pastries, calzones, zeppoles, cakes, and breads. I only wish they carried gluten free options as well. The girls at the counter greet you warmly and patiently pack each box of your chosen delights like a game of Tetris and tie up the box expertly with string. Although this place is a bit outdated, it has character and reminds me of my childhood. read more

They always have an amazing selection, never out of anything, and they're always happy to separate cold and counter pastries, their prices are very fair and reasonable. For the most part, they're happy and friendly. I don't really appreciate being asked "anything else?" after each thing I ask for, as it really feels like I'm being rushed and hurried. read more

Bought the cutest cupcakes yesterday. Hamburger and hot dogs themed. Adorable and a hit with the grandkids. I bought 2 kind of cannoli's also that were delicious , Pistachio and choc chip I would pass on the carrot cake, the frosting was not true cream cheese frosting. All in all a great bakery in town. read more

I have a love/hate for this place. If it's busy....risky parking. My car got dinnged last visit. There is no ordering system, so I've gotten the wrong box. Pastrys/calzones are delicious, cakes are pretty but not appetizing because the frosting has freezer burnt/ thawed taste. So, if you go....go when it's slow, and stick to pastry/ breads. read more

I've been to this bakery a couple of times now, thanks to my coworker who absolutely loves it and has even ordered my cakes from here. Their chocolate cake is a 10/10 rich, moist, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the mocha cake, but personally didn't taste much mocha flavor. The mini cannolis, though, are another 10/10 crisp, creamy, and perfectly sweet. There are so many options to choose from, and I'll definitely be stopping in anytime I'm in the area! read more

Found this place by just driving by it. Any time I'm in a new state I see a bakery I stop !! We ordered a cookie, pizza slice they call it, and the log. Now wasn't paying attention cause we just said what we wanted or should I say thought what we wanted. The log was huge !!! I thought it was a little thing but after I paid I was like what is this thing !! I guess we wanted the small roll and we got a huge sammich !! Now at first I was like we should say something, but we would have only gotten a credit back and I don't live here , so when we got it back to the hotel we tried it, best mistake we ever made !!! It was an Italian cold cut " log". The taste was excellent, the bread was superb, the ingredients were on point. The slice as they call it had an excellent taste to it . It's like tomato bread but it was great the crust was crisp the flavor was on point, the bread was soft, the sugar cookie w/ the frosting was great as well. If I lived here they would have a customer for life. If I'm ever back this way I'll be stopping back !! It's a definite try if in the Coventry Rhode Island area. Stop by and get these items , you won't be disappointed!! read more

Went in and bought 1 spinach ring...the price was $45??? My fault for just handing the employee my debit card and not paying attention to the price until I saw the $45 debit from my bank account. The spinach ring was good, but IMO it is not worth $45! Won't be buying that again! read more

Fantastic place to get a custom cake. I have used them several times, most recently for a checkerboard vanilla/chocolate for our Gigi's 90th. She was so delighted and everyone agreed this cake was delicious. Super fresh cake, fluffy frosting and a great design!! For my son's birthday we ordered a Cookie Monster cake and he loved it. It turned everyone's mouth blue which he loved even more . I also love the variety in this bakery, so many different kinds of cupcakes, cookies, pastries. They have cake pops and donuts as well. It's nice when you want to bring a selection of things to a party or when you're entertaining. Staff is quick and friendly and I love the old school vibes inside. This it a place you just pick up and go with, no seating. read more

Whoa. I'm so glad they are not around the corner. Everything looked amazing. My eyes were everywhere and ADHD kicked in. I ended up getting a chocolate cupcake with lots of smooth buttercream frosting (exactly how I like it), a piece of cherry topped cheesecake for the hubs and an amazingly decorated sugar cookie. Well, the cupcake didn't make it home. The hubs raved about the cheesecake and I will be digging into the gorgeous cookie later. I WILL BE BACK. read more

Borrelli's Pastry Shop - Gorgeous sugar cookie. I'm gonna break in and eat alll the buttercream. Maybe I'll apply for a weekend job. - Bakeries Near Me - Coventry, Rhode Island

We've used Borelli's for our birthday cakes and bread for years, but have been growing more and more disappointed in the quality. This weekend they gave us the wrong cake order. We ordered a yellow cake with strawberry filling and buttercream and absolutely no chocolate. We get there and they have boxed a strawberry shortcake. my husband explained the mistake and they tried blame it on the person who took the order and to replace it with a cake from the case but they only had chocolate cakes or were decorated with chocolate . He expressed the birthday girl cannot have chocolate again and accepted the strawberry shortcake. He got home, we explained things and it was fine until it's time to cut the cake and it's covered in chocolate shavings. There's no way they didn't know that when they handed the box over and were made aware of the allergy a second time even if the person who took the order didn't write it down. my husband was cool calm and collected in the store presenting the information just hoping they would fix the order. They weren't trying to get rid of a Karen, they were just further trying to hide their mistake and wanted him out before he noticed. We called and there's nothing they could do. Their answer was that we got what we paid for. Well, we didn't get what we ORDERED and the person the cake was for, the only person that it mattered what cake we got couldn't eat the cake! We went from the disappointment we'd grown used to, to angry real fast. I understand why that woman got arrested for returning and throwing her cake on the floor recently. I wanted to do the same. Especially after speaking with a manager after waiting two days to speak with one and having to keep calling back just to hear "you got what I paid for." read more

In and out over the years , a lot of good bakeries to choose from in RI. But these guys have come back to the first stop for me, good , plentiful , fresh selection of pastries . Don't feel like cooking they have good pizza and calzone selections. read more

The best bread around!!! The desserts just get better every time I'm there. The service is always great which makes coming back that much easier! 10/10 read more

I am not sure why this place call BAKERY here is my story, i ordered the birthday cake for a friend n i asked if rainbow cake or velvet then the lady who served me said we can only do Chocolate Flavor, Vanilla flavor in my mind said i think Walmart better than this place, then one day someone gave me some cup cakes that bought from this place , the cup cakes so dry within 2 days like a solid rock. I think this place need to try to expand, improve and being creative the way the cakes are made. That what the bakery should be. read more

The service was excellent, I had ordered a spinach ring that was ready to go when I arrived and couldn't resist the zeppolas so I picked up 2. Everything was delicious. It was worth the drive from Wakefield read more

Strawberry shortcake is where it's at! Cheesecake is pretty good too little too sweet from my liking! Only two things I've tried so far! The service was good! Just employees aren't knowledgeable about the ingredients! read more

The baked goods from Borrelli's are always, always amazing (in my opinion)... We stop in when in the area - or when we can courageously breach the traffic to get into the parking lot! I have been coming here for years... and upon our pick=up visit on 3/15/2024, I was really taken aback by the negative response of the staff when a customer asked about having another box ... she was then told that she could "buy one", but boxes were allotted by purchase amounts... This woman spent over $75.00 - give her a box...and a smile? Unfortunately, these are the "little" things that cause folks to take their business elsewhere... i hope that does not continue to happen in Borellis'.. this is the third time something rather ridiculous has happened in the time we were in the shop... If such occurs again, I will truly - kindly - voice my opinion and leave without purchasing my longed for Borrelli's goodies! I hope it does not come to that! read more

Used to love this place and get pastries and muffins from here all the time. Unfortunately they must've change some thing and now everything you get from there taste like it's been previously frozen. read more

Everything is good some things are great. Never had anything I didn't like. Highly recommend the pizza. Easy to overlook but won't disappoint. Prices are more than reasonable as well. read more

I am about to change your Monday's like you never thought was possible. Mondays at Borrelli's is Spinach Pie Monday which means Spinach pies are only $1.99 each. We went for a ride and decided to head to Borrelli's for Spinach Pies. When we arrived, there was a short wait outside the door. A few customers were allowed in the bakery at a time, while the rest waited in line out front. One in, one out. Very covid safe. It was spinach pie Monday so we got spinach pies. You can choose between spinach and olive or just spinach. They are perfectly golden, the crust is delicious and the filling is plentiful and tasted very fresh. I may or may not have also purchased a cannoli and man was that good. Oh, and let's not forget the pizza strip for the ride home and the funfetti cake roll slice for afterwards. Honestly, everything we had we really enjoyed and I am excited to go back and try a couple (or a few) of the other things. read more

Did not get full order and didn't realize it until I reached my destination 5 hours away. Called and spoke to manager when returned from wedding. They would not make good on error insisting I had received full order. Been a customer for 20+ years. Not sure the cost of a tray of calzones is worth losing a family customer. That's not the customer service I would expect from such a popular bakery read more

This is an updated review based on business practices and gross lack of customer service and innovation during covid. I pre-paid and ordered a cake ahead of time on Father's Day. However, despite doing so, Borrelli's makes you wait in the same long line as everyone else looking to spend 20 minutes asking about every pastry and choosing and then paying in the beating hot sun. Shame on Borrelli's for a lack of innovation and thinking outside the box. Many other businesses have prepaid Lines or options for prepaid customer. There is no reason that I should have to stay in line after paying for a $39 cake. Don't offer the option to order and pay ahead. if there's no other convenience. Complete disappointment and waste of my time. I will be going elsewhere in the future. read more

Place is a hit or miss so this should really be 2.5 stars. Sometimes the pastries are fresh and Sometimes they taste stale. My go to is the brownie with nuts and chocolate cream pie. Be sure to order ahead during the holidays. read more

Just had the pork pies. Crust is flaky and not overpowering. Filing is just like mom made. I warmed in the air fryer in the little pie plate. Toaster oven would work well also. Great portion for a single person. read more

I guess I keep coming here because it's convenient ... or perhaps out of habit ... or perhaps because it's the only game in town (unless you count the bakery department at Stop & Shop). It goes something like this: The wife sends me here; the wallet takes a huge hit; we both end up underwhelmed. Most recently, I went here a couple days before Christmas, hoping to get a tiramisu cake for the Christmas Eve party my wife was hosting. Now, I have to give credit where credit's due: Borrelli's has a tremendous selection of cakes, pies, cookies and other sweets. Also, they have plenty of staff to wait on customers, so even when they're busy, you are in and out pretty quickly. Parking is very limited; the lot is narrow, and close to a crazy-busy section of Tiogue Avenue. I have seen several near-accidents from people trying to park there. At least I have wised up, and now park at Centreville Bank next door. Anyway, I spotted a tiramisu cake in the display case, but it was much bigger than I wanted. The girl waiting on me said they might have a smaller tiramisu cake in the back. After a few minutes, she brought one out and began boxing it. I asked how much it cost and nearly gagged when she told me it was $30! So, I settled for a Boston cream pie (cake) for a slightly more reasonable $18. Wifey couldn't wait until her party to try a piece, but found the frosting to be thick and overly sweet. I didn't have a piece until two days later, and it didn't fare well in the fridge. It basically fell apart and left me, as they say, curiously unsatisfied. So, I think I'm done with Borelli's as far as cakes or pies go, but I will probably make my pilgrimage there once a year for zeppole or cannoli on St. Joseph's Day. And, as happened to me on my last visit, I'll probably jar my spine again leaving the place, because there is no warning (or perhaps not a prominent enough warning) of the sudden drop-off as soon as you step outside. After all, I don't go there often enough to remember this hazard. So yeah, thanks a lot, Borelli's ... you may not be getting as much of my dough from now on, but my chiropractor probably will. read more
