When in the area the pastries are a must with a cup of coffee. All freshly made and a variety of Italian and traditional pastries

Morrone Pastry Shop & Café 2349 Arthur Ave. Bronx, NY 10458 Cartocci This Sicilian spiral shaped donut is coated with sugar and filled with ricotta cream. I wish there was a tad more ricotta filling. Otherwise, it was love at first bite.

So so good- got some pastries during a festival. Defs on the pricey side but worth it for the quality. Really can test the quality and absolutely delicious. Service was quick and able to get sweets fast. Had rainbow cookies and cannolis!!

I had an almond horn ( one of my OG favorites) with a cup of coffee.

For those of you who grew up in the boroughs of New York in the '50s and '60s, you will know exactly what I'm talking about when I mention the local bakery, especially if you are Jewish or Italian! Every ethnicity had their own neighborhood and their own local stores. There was an Irish neighborhood off of Kingsbridge Road, there were the Italians north of Boston Road and there was a Jewish enclave by Pelham Parkway and Allerton avenue. That's where I was! Every Friday at 5:00 p.m. my loving grandfather would pick me and my brothers up in his green plumbing truck and head over to Allerton Avenue and double park while he went into Saperstein's Bakery. We were so excited because we knew he would come out with a treasure trove of goodies. Onion rolls, rye bread, donuts, cinnamon rolls and challah. Off we would go to Grandma's house for a Friday night. Shabbat dinner with all of our favorites framed by all the goodies my grandfather got at the bakery. Every Sunday evening, my grandparent's would park by our apartment and we would all walk up Allerton Avenue to Gino's for an authentic Italian dinner. On the way back we would stop at Lanzetta's Italian bakery for Italian ices or biscotti or a delicious Italian cookie. Those were the days! Well, the Irish are gone, the Italians have mostly gone and the Jews have gone except for a little pocket of Italians in Arthur Avenue which is where I found the bakery with my friend Amy. It's about the only one left in the neighborhood where at a time you could find a bakery on every corner. I was visiting New York last weekend and promised my trainer a black and white cookie and was looking for a little nosh myself, so Amy and I headed over to Morrone's on Arthur Avenue which is just a few minutes from her house. Although it missed the excitement and flavor of the old days when the bakery was filled with old ladies behind the counter, kids and families picking out pastries and cookies and cakes and smatterings of Italian being shared amongst the customers, It still had all of my favorites. I drooled while I looked in Morrone's glass showcase filled with rainbow cookies, cannolis cinnamon rolls, Italian bread, and on and on and on. I got DeMarcus his black and white, I bought myself one of those big Chinese cookies. You know the big round ones with the almond taste with the big chocolate drop in the middle? Amy and I could not quite figure out why they are called Chinese cookies, nor could the lady working behind the counter, but we seem to have a recollection when we were kids that when you got your dessert at a Chinese restaurant, you had a choice of ice cream or one of these Chinese cookies in a smaller form. The sweet lady behind the counter put it all in a box. She tied it up with string like the old days and I was on my way. It's such a weird feeling when you go back to your old neighborhood. The store shells are the same and the outside looks familiar but as soon as you step inside you can feel the difference. I know life marches on but I sure do miss the smell and sounds of the old ethnic bakeries when I was a kid especially when I went in there with my mom or grandparents and knew they would buy me a Charlotte Russe or a cannoli! Before it's too late, head back to your birthplace or old neighborhood if you can. Walk the streets, check out where you lived, go into one of the old stores. It's emotional but affirming. It all goes so fast, my friend. Always stay connected to your past. It's who we are today and drives us for what we want tomorrow I'm glad Morrone still exists and I'll be back with Amy next year when I come up for my Broadway show, White Castle hamburgers and something from Morrone for dessert. Sounds good to me!!

I said I wanted the 7 inch Italian style cake.

Emily was horrible on the phone when I explained she gave me the wrong thing. She was yelling at me for being upset. I traveled 3 hours round trip to get the cake I needed. Her attitude was come back and get it. Her customer service is unacceptable. All she kept saying was she a made a mistake. Well I made mistake giving her a tip. Still waiting to hear from owner. I want my money back I need the Italian style cake. My trip was to get this

$6.50 STALE pastry

This is the second time I received something stale from this bakery. When I say Stale, it wasn't just a day old, it was clearly 3 or 4 days old. OK Morrone, you stole $6.50 from me, but it's the last penny I'll ever spend in your overpriced bakery.

The good: My brother sent 2 boxes of these pastries home with my mom when she flew back to California from New York. I was delighted to get some authentic Italian pastries! When I think of NY, I definitely think of Italian food. I like that the pastries I got were made with natural ingredients and no artificial colors. I tried a cheesecake-like little muffin-bite, an almond mini muffin, a crunchy layered pastry (sfogliatelle) that I once had in France, and one other tan pastry that I don't know the name of. All weren't too sweet, were nice textures, and were something I'd order again. The bad: I wish I was able to try their cakes. The interesting: They sell gift cards and apparel online. They also do wedding cakes and custom designed cakes. The sfogliatelle I had here tasted better than the one I got in Paris because it wasn't as hard/stale.

Stopped by here for dessert after Dominick's because the pastries looked attractive. Ended up being disappointed by what we got. The dark chocolate Oreo cheesecake ball tasted a little sour like the filling inside had gone bad. The chocolate mousse eclair was okay but not that flavorful.

The cakes here are delicious. They are known for the Boston Cream pie but everything is great…read more The workers are courteous & professional. In a part of Morris Park that's changed, Conti's is a great asset. My constructive criticism on Conti's. I ordered 2 cakes online. Paid in full for both last week. They gave me a pickup window 9AM. I show up early & there's a big line. I ask a worker & she says there's 1 line. She states there's 1 line for picking up a cake paid in full, ordering a new cake, getting coffee, getting pastries. Guys NO GOOD! Why pay in full & order a week prior? You should have 2/3 lines. 1 line picking up cakes paid in full only. 1 bread line only. 1 line for new orders. I mean this criticism as constructive

a pound of cookies went from $15 to $22 in a year. I understand the economy is bad, but 10 cookies…read morefor $22?? that's highway robbery. I remember when Conties would price the specialty cheesecakes to $30-$35 max. a 12inch pistatchio cheesecake is $46???? i know for a fact the employees dont get paid enough for the price of a cheesecake to increase that dramatically. one of the girls said the pies/cakes are made a week before they're sold, so the price on soon to expire pastries is insane. for $46 dollars I can get a larger and better quality cheesecake in Manhattan. The ladies behind the counter look unhappy and find every request to be inconvenient. this place is definitely ripping you off. UPDATE: I opened the box of cookies for my friend, she reached for the first cookie and as soon as she took a bite, she pulled out a blond hair from the cookie. $22 dollars for cookies full of hair. I'm never going back.

Delicious cakes -- Our cake was stunning, and was literally the most delicious wedding cake ... We…read morecontinue to hear rave reviews about it I just ate another bite today!! I just wanted to thank you personally for the wonderful cake you created in honour of my 50th birthday. I was so impressed and so was everyone else!!! Your attention to detail is incredible and very much appreciated. From the individual blades of grass, delicate little flowers, strands of hair blowing in the wind and the specs (how on earth did you do those?!) It seemed such a shame to have to cut into it, but I'm glad we did because the cake itself was a delicious light sponge with a delicate orangey tang and creamy butter icing, just perfect and just what I wanted J. Your creativity and artistry really made my party-meal special and I would certainly recommend you to all of my friends without hesitation. Rest assured that we will definitely be using your services to plan future family celebrations.

I'll start with my whole family & I have been a Valencia fan & customer for more than 40 years …read more I can say hands down all their cakes are fantastic. I went to the 9 w W burnside ave Bronx NY I ordered 2 dozens cupcakes I wanted that traditional Valencia taste. To my disappointment they were tuff so dry nobody even attempted to finish one. I call the store mine you I wasn't asking for a refund never mentioned that . I believe she was the owner didn't take it well . She said & I quote well maybe everyone didn't know how to eat them . We should've cut them & inverted them smh i said kids here we're not going to do that . Then she raved on how many orders a day come in& out and how one customer byes everyday that cupcake . Again I was polite reassuring her I loved Valencia & I said I wasn't trying & to insult her but she didn't for once apologize or take responsibility for her product or business. I'm so disappointed . She was so defensive & dismissive . Won't go there anymore .
