    a cake in a pie tin
    Brandon Y.

    God, this is the BEST fucking rum cake I have EVER had. It's the perfect amount of dense, rich, moist,buttery, and sweet, and the edges have the most amazing caramel-esque flavor. They'll come down to NYC occasionally for a street fair or food festival and I love getting it then. As I'm typing this, I'm about to order 3 more online just because it's that good. Seriously, give these a try if you can get your hands on one. P.S.: The first ingredient is sugar, which I find absolutely hilarious lol

    I ordered a Gourmet Caribbean Rum Cake for a friend that lives in NY (I am on the West Coast). He and his family have raved about the rum cake here, saying it's the best they've ever had. It was very easy to place an order online and it was delivered much sooner than I had anticipated, which was a nice surprise. I did request that a note be included with the rum cake but the recipient didn't receive one. This was a little disappointing as it was a special occasion. I know it was a minor detail but when you pay $45+ for a rum cake + shipping, you would hope a note request would not be missed. I understand that things happen but I emailed the bakery about this and they never replied to me.

    It's been several years since I've written about the place that sells fantastic rum cakes, and I'm always tempted to buy one as I pass them in the Colonie Center Mall. But recently they have started mentioning on Facebook that they also have cinnamon rolls. I've never noticed the rolls at their kiosk in the mall, so I was enticed by their Facebook post announcing that cinnamon rolls are sold on Tuesday and Friday at their main office in Troy for local delivery or pickup. The only catch was that you had to call to place your order by noon the day before. Oh, and they are only sold by the dozen. This worked perfectly for me since I had an appointment a few blocks from their office on Friday. I arrived at the agreed upon time and was requested to have a seat in the reception area since they had sold out, had to make more, and were now packaging my order. I had no idea what to expect. We hadn't even discussed price on the phone. Since this bakery supports a worthy cause, The Redemption Christian Academy located in the same building, I was prepared to NOT haggle. When the box of rolls was brought to the reception desk I was somewhat startled at how large it was. It probably could have held a full sized sheet cake. Looking through the acetate window in the top of the box I saw 12 large rolls, larger than the buns at local supermarkets, but about the same size as those that I like from my Clifton Park Italian bakery. When I asked how much, I was told $30, the same that I would have paid at the C.P. Italian bakery for twelve individually purchased buns. You could tell that each roll had been baked separately from the others, not sharing a common tray, because all the side surfaces of each roll were golden brown from unrestricted access to the oven's heat. There was plenty of cream cheese icing on each roll. Each roll is just about a meal in itself. The bread portion has a nice flavor and there is a decent amount of cinnamon and brown sugar filling in each roll. I chose to put my roll in the microwave for a few seconds (15?) and found that it was a challenge to try to eat it in my hand. I resorted to fork and knife. While I didn't find the rolls to be overly sweet, they are very rich and filling. My only negative comment is that two of four that have been eaten at this point appeared to have been under baked in the center. The rest of the rolls are now in the freezer for future enjoyment. (UPDATE) These cinnamon rolls are even great the next day at room temperature!

    Whenever I'm at certain flea markets or street fairs, I always pick up a few of their rum cakes. They're the absolute best I've ever had and I've had my share of rum cakes. This year, due to covid, so many events have been cancelled and I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to take home a couple rum cakes for my family and I. Then I decided to see if they had a site and to my absolute delight, they did. The cakes are a little more expensive than I'm used to and you have to pay shipping but let me tell you, just do it. They're absolutely amazing and not something you get everyday. I was a little concerned that I'd receive a beat up cake due to shipping but that's the opposite of what I received. The cakes were packed in a box with packing peanuts and the cakes themselves were sealed in plastic, within their plastic containers. The cakes were perfect. They were moist and I really had to force myself to stop eating it! My whole family absolutely loves them and I didn't even mention that they offer a gluten free rum cake, which is why I was able to partake in the absolute delight of this amazing rum cake. For the regular rum cakes, they have a variety of flavors. I think I'll start ordering these for holidays and special occasions.

    Goodway Gourmet were present and onsite at my company location selling rumcakes. I have to say, these are the best rumcakes I've ever had. There is so much variety of rumcakes and the texture is just perfect. The rum is not overwhelming and although it is sweet, it is the perfect amount of sweetness. It was honestly a hard decision to just pick one flavor so I ended up with 2 rumcakes (Coconut and Carribean) to go home for the holidays, and..... it's already gone haha. Note: you can store it in the fridge for 6 weeks and the freezer for up to a year as they are packaged. I brought one to 2 different holiday parties and they were devoured right away. Thank you Goodway Gourmet for the delicious rumcakes and I'll definitely be stopping by when I'm in the area!

    Ran into Goodway Gourmet at a Street Fair in Hoboken, there was a line the entire time, so out of curiosity stopped by for a bite and bought the Chocolate Raspberry Rum Bundt cake immediately! They also carry Malibu, Coconut, Banana and other flavors. The absolute best Rum cake I've tasted, dense, moist, flavorful and you can actually taste the rum. Perfection.

    After taking my kids to the aquarium and Dino exhibit in Rotterdam square mall I saw this bakery from a distance. I said to the family "let's go get a treat!" I didn't expect to walk into a rum cake emporium! I have to say I'm not typically a fan of rum cakes. I've had many a tortuga rum cake in Grand Cayman and they are always too strong in rum flavor for my taste. And I'm just not generally a fan of alcoholic desserts BUT upon asking for something else the owner was quick to offer a sample, multiple even! I was delighted to simply find moist, deliciously flavored cakes. Ones that have enough flavor on their own to not even need frosting. We walked away with two rum cakes, brownies and cinnamon rolls. The owner/baker was so friendly and excited about his products. I would buy from him again and again. I wish him and his wife all the best of luck in their new location!

    Encountered Goodway bakery goods at the Atlantic City Wine and Food festival. Although they serve a variety of baked goods I tried their rum cake and instantly fell in love! Super big hit at the AC food and wine--- kudos to Goodway Gourmet, a family owned business that has been around for quite some time. I definitely recommend their cakes, especially because it was always served with a smile. You can also order their baked goods online via PayPal where you can see pictures of all their baked goods! YUM- Caribbean rum cake!

My wife and I stopped in on a warm winter morning and got a few baked goods and two drinks to try. I had a rosemary vanilla latte and chocolate pistachio sourdough bun. She had a masala chai, and olive/feta/rosemary focaccia. We started with the bun & focaccia. The bun pulled apart nicely and had the subtlest hint of sourdough. The chocolate wasn't overpowering and matched the pistachio flavor nicely. It was a bit messy but delicious nonetheless. The bun was deliciously moist in the middle which was my favorite part. The focaccia was thick and full of flavor. Personally not being a huge fan of olives, I think the chunks of olive were a bit too large for my taste, but that's personal preference. I won't take points off for that. The drinks came out after a few minutes. The latte that I got had some nice art on top, and the rosemary taste was very pleasant. The chai was also quite nice, I like the taste of masala as well. My wife got oat-milk with it which gave a nice nutty flavor to it. Staff was very pleasant, as well!

It must be difficult for a bakery like Bella Napoli to be profitable at their size, but I'm happy that there are still bakeries like this around. Their slogan is the selection brings you in and the Taste brings you back - and I would say that is true based on the wide selection of breads, cookies, pastries, and cakes that I saw at the Troy location. What brought me in to Bella Napoli was the opportunity to buy fresh small hot dog rolls to go with Helmbold Small Franks. I also bought an Italian bread and boston cream donut. The italian bread is the kind of italian bread that you grew up with if you grew up in the greater NY area - crispy crust with soft white interior and pillowy crumb. It went great with some spiedies and I'm looking forward to using it to wipe up tomato sauce when I make pasta for dinner tonight. It toasted nicely and maybe I'll make some garlic bread too. Boston cream pie donuts are one of my favorite donuts and I always try them whenever I visit a new bakery. The boston cream donut at Bella Napoli was good - not bad, but not great. The cream filling was good. The texture of the donut was a little dense, but not bad. If the donut texture had been lighter, I would have rated it as great. The only minor issue was that the chocolate glaze had a developed a little crusting, but that probably means that the glaze was based on sugar instead of using corn syrup - which I appreciate.
