a variety of pastries in a box
Limi L.

I was craving desserts and this place was close by so I decided to give it a try. I got the eclair, strawberry shortcake, a brownie shortcake (forgot what's it called), and a foot long of homemade bread. The eclair and the shortcakes were just ok. The eclair pastry wasn't as soft on the outside and the filling didn't have much flavor. The strawberry shortcake was decent, the pound cake was moist. The brownie shortcake, however, was not good at all. The brownie was so dense and lack of flavor. The homemade bread was good, very fresh. The service was great and the overall price was reasonable.

Their Easter bread :)

We went over the easter weekend and everything was so fresh and good!! There was a line outside as the demand was high due to the holiday. Definitely recommend their Easter bread, cream puffs, fresh rolls and brownies!

a display of cupcakes

I ordered custom cupcakes for my daughter's 16th birthday. They told me I had to call their Trenton location to place the order but they can ship to their Mercerville location. I called and told them I wanted light pink frosting that was flat on top and then with the number 16 on half and half drawn with makeup. They said they can do it. Today, I called Mercerville to say I was on my way. I went there and no cupcakes. The lady was so rude and said they can't get in touch with the other location - "they don't pick up the phone". I called them and then drove to Trenton to pick up out of desperation. The cupcakes are horrendous- an embarrassment. No 16 and then just placed picks on each cupcake- even the wrong color... and I paid for a custom order... absolutely horrendous service, absolute horrendous bakery - thank you Italian People's Bakery - you ruined my kids special day! If I could do negative stars, I would!

This bakery is a part of a chain of Italian People's bakeries that used to be scattered around Trenton, Hamilton, Chambersburg, and Bucks County, PA. The main bakery is still located on Butler Street in Trenton and is the last bakery in the city of Trenton. Mostly everything is baked at the Butler Street location. I visit one of the locations every time that I come to the area. It's just hard to find bakeries with supermarkets taking their business. If you want fresh, baked goods that are not baked in bulk, support your local bakery. This bakery sells cakes, cookies, donuts, canollis, cupcakes, bread, and rolls, among other goodies. I bought 2 cupcakes today. They were $1.15 each but werre worth it. They were soft and fresh. Come early for the donuts though to get the best variety because they sell out quickly. One small note, the owners should consider moving the table in the middle of the aisle off to the side. It is hard to look at the pastries through the glass when the line forms on one side of the table.

Terrible service and the cake, cookies and cupcakes we purchased were terrible and stale. They do not bake in house. Go anywhere else.

Staff is rude, and the baked goods taste like something you'd buy from a grocery store.

The cake was absolutely gorgeous and my niece was over the top excited ... She actually got emotional when she saw it.

Thanks for making a special birthday even more special...

Upon arrival there were additional charges for plating cookies or simply putting the items on a tray that was not mentioned and after pointing out they kindly waived the fee for using a tray. I wanted to pay in advance that seemed to be a problem because they charge by the pound when i was given a physical fee over email. Conversation felt tense and like I was a burden but I had no choice with the event being so close. Upon picking up the items my family picked up the baked goods and told me the employees were rude and once again felt like a burden and made sure to tell us plating will be $7 for next time. which there will not be next time. Happy to give my $200 to another bakery with higher quality product and a happier demeanor. Rainbow cookies are literately cake not the traditional cookies and cannolis have no chocolate chips in them. Feedback was it was okay but not great. Most guests told me since changing ownership, quality had diminished. For $200 i thought they would be nicer and happy for the business but based on quality and how we were treated, we won't be back.

From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of authentic, homemade Italian cooking and the warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel like family. John, Michael, and Kevin put a little bit of love into everything they serve. They are knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and always willing to make recommendations. Then there's Babs, the "cleanup hitter," who runs the register with remarkable efficiency while sending every customer off with a warm smile and sincere appreciation. The selection of freshly prepared Italian specialties is nothing short of outstanding. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up dinner for the family, or planning a special event, every dish reflects exceptional quality, authentic flavor, and meticulous attention to detail. Their catering service is equally impressive, providing beautifully prepared meals that are guaranteed to make any gathering memorable. The sandwiches are simply phenomenal--generously piled high with the freshest ingredients and served on freshly baked Italian bread that elevates every bite. It's easy to understand why Dolce & Clemens has earned such a loyal following. And whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the pastry shop! Their assortment of traditional Italian pastries is the perfect finale to any meal--always fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Outstanding food, exceptional service, fair prices, and an unwavering commitment to quality make Dolce & Clemens a destination I'll return to again and again. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, incredible sandwiches, delectable pastries, or first-class catering, look no further. Highly recommended--on a 1-10 scale, they are easily an 11.

Meh not a fan but I continue I was warned it was expensive, it's not. So I bought a few prepared meals, simple meals just to get a feel for the food.

The sauce was lacking and not sure what the meat was in the meatballs Still have a chicken Marsala entree and a few fried chicken cutlets that I am in no hurry to eat but will because I don't waste food My visit here was disappointing and now that I have tried the I will continue to find other options to become my go to Salumeria The baked goods looks good maybe I will give that a shot I'm a sucker for good Canoli Update 9/17 the fried chicken cutlets were tasteless, ate one saving 2 to grind up to give to the dogs The Bruschetta was also tasteless.Its like food you would get in my parents assisted living facility no seasoning on anything. Why bother?I grew up on food like this and it is a really poor representation of the way these simple preparations should taste.

3 and 3/4 stars…read more Someone said a "slice of Boca"? No, not quite. (Although "not Boca" isn't necessarily a bad thing.) However you look at it, the comparison is inflated. The latte was good (not delicious), but a tad watery with a fullness of flavor missing. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and the place was busy, but not overwhelming so. Tables were full, but it was only a short wait for me to place my simple order (by coffee shop standards) of a small, vanilla latte. However, once my order was taken (yes, the wait-server was pleasant) and I paid, I was left to figure it out. First time in and so I didn't know what the deal was: do I wait where I am? Pick up at a different counter? Ok...but where? Does someone call my drink out when it's ready (there's no put-your-name-on-a-cup thing -- which IS annoying, but apparently can be more handy than I've previously thought)? Is the order stated when the cup is placed down? The person who waited on me had vanished into a gaggle of chatting and giggling girls behind the counter, so I asked another customer. (FYI: you wait at the perpendicular counter to your left of the register.) No big deal, but it's one of those "little things" that separates the four stars from the five. I moved to the "wait" counter and observed a few drinks being placed down -- all beverages in similar cups -- and had to (again) ask someone else for help (i.e., which order was mine), as the barista who made my drink put it down and then disappeared into that gaggle of girls. (Also minor, but another separator of the three and three quarter stars from the four.) In short, the latte was good, but not the best. The service? Ok, but not the best. The ambiance? Again ok. Maybe because I've lived in SE Florida for more than 20 years, but it definitely does not have that true Boca feel. Nonetheless, given the options in the area, Hamilatte is a welcome attempt at something different, and definitely a preferred choice to Starbucks. I will return if I'm nearby, but I won't go out of my way (as I do for a truly 5-star establishment).

I'm updating this and adding a star for a few reasons. The first of which is to counterpoint…read moresomeone's overly negative one star review. Really dude?!? This made from scratch bakery that pretty much has something for every taste, and several options for those craving Eastern European comfort foods is only worthy of one star? This is likely the consumer who thinks Poppy's are a good brand. And also a knee jerk reviewer who wants something for free based on changing this review. If you really didn't enjoy why not 2 or 3 stars? I reserve 1 star reviews for places that have given me food poisoning, and so far that has not occurred, anywhere. I had the pleasure of working with Wally at a different business. He is a kind and generous guy who would bring his Sunday leftovers from the market to this other store. EVERYONE there loved his food and were able to taste almost all of his desserts, and even pierogies. On my recent visit I came for pierogies for myself and stuffed cabbage for a family member. I had the potato cheddar and enjoyed them very much. The filling tasted like freshly mashed potato and cheddar, and little if any salt. I'm ok with this because when I prepare them I'll pimp out with sautéed onions and thick cut bacon. I think Yelp readers are savvy enough not to take 1 star reviews by novice reviewers too seriously, and I really hope they will try the Pie'd Piper.

I got the hot cross bun because I don't think I've ever had one. It tasted a bit stale but it was still good. And the cream cross on top was excellent. I've gotta go back to try everything else out when it's fresher. Tasty & the price was right.
