They have the best Philly Fluff cake of anyone!! Been going there for years and the quality is still very good.

Ok let me just start by saying that I'm from Philly and it has nothing to do with Philly. However, OMGGGGG. Philly fluff is amazing, delicious, tasty, soft, and every other word you could think of to describe good cake. Whenever there is a celebration in the office, Philly Fluff is a must! This review is useless, gotta try it for yourself. One time there was half a cake left and I finished it over a week. I could have did it in one day, but just in case my coworkers wanted some I had to pace myself. read more

Natale's Summit Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

What can I say.......I love me some good cake and cupcakes. The BEST coconut cake I have ever had in my life. Definitely worth the drive to Summit from West New York when in need of a special occasion cake. I bought one for myself for my birthday in October. My friends made fun of me all weekend due to the price I paid ($36). Sometimes you just need to treat yourself to a beautiful thing, that's how I live my life. Picked up my daughter's birthday cake here on 2/1 for a weekend function. Basic chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. Simply fabulous cake, super tasty and moist. Frosting is outstanding, as well. They are known for their Philly Fluff, but trust me.....every single thing here is fabulous. There is always a long line (moves quickly though). That is very telling as to the number of repeat fans they have. Long live Natale's Bakery!!! read more

Overall I love this place and the desserts are very good. A very traditional old time bakery. The checkerboard chocolate cake is a crowd favorite. Anything with crumbs is divine. Just not a fan of the prepackaged cookies. Even though they do claim these are packaged every day, some of the cookies were not fresh..many other alternatives to choose from and I would do t read more

The bread and baked goods are pretty good here but the woman who works behind the counter is very rude, rushed, and generally unpleasant to deal with. Please be a little nicer to your customers, i know your busy but you don't need to be so rude to others. read more

Wonderful bakery with exceptional service staff! Ordered a cake for my wife's birthday that was both gorgeous and delicious! She LOVED it! We will definitely be coming back and ordering all of our family special occasion cakes from Natalie's bakery. Brava! read more

Amazing baked goods and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and quick service . You will not be disappointed!

The place is cute, but bought a cake from the display case for a birthday. The cake was nicely decorated. Unfortunately, it was way too sweet and really REALLY dry. So dry, that after we served about 1/5 of the cake, no one wanted to take the rest. We ended up throwing it away. I would have taken it back but the bakery was closed for a couple days. Honestly, very disappointed. I may go back again and see if I have a better experience with pastries, but won't order a cake again. Everyone talks about this as the go-to bakery so maybe my experience was a fluke? read more

All about that fluff! Someone brought the philly fluff cake at hubby's work and next day we trekked down summit to get 2 of these cakes! The drive was sooo worth it. It's like a bundt cake that's moist and not too sweet. The powdered sugar on top makes it even more enjoyable to eat. I must mention their superb customer service as well. They gave my son 3 halloween cookies to try and it's very rare nowadays to see mom-and-pop shops as welcoming as this place. Highly recommend the philly fluff cake! I do have my eye on the fruit tart to try next. read more

We went on my husband's birthday and picked out a handful of different pastries at random out of the case. The guy that was helping us was so patient with us and walked us through all of the options available, as well as any possible allergens. Even though we also just got pastries, he brought out a little chocolate disk that said happy birthday and was customized with my husband's name on it. Then, he even gave us a few extra treats at the end just because it was our first time there. I can't begin to express how positive our experience in Natale's was and the food is just as wonderful - all of the pastries were delicate and airy and so fresh. We'll absolutely keep coming back for all of our special occasions. read more

Top shelf desserts! The Philly Fluff is a must. It is superb alone. Add fresh fruit for a treat. Please also try the key lime pie. A taste of Key West Florida. Your family and friend will thank you. read more

Magical Italian cookies! Also musty try's: rainbow cookies, almond cookies, and Fluff cakes. read more

PHILLY. FLUFF. CAKE. If a cake was served in heaven, this would be it. There is a reason this cake has fluff in its name and it's because it tastes like how I imagine a cloud would taste. I don't know what magical science the bakers use, but it has the PERFECT balance of softness, moistness, sweetness, and of course fluffiness. The powdered sugar on top is QUALITY too and just melts into your mouth. I rarely enjoy powdered sugar, but it just works for this cake. Someone described the cake below as a cross between angel food cake and pound cake and that's the most accurate description. Even if you're not a fan of either (I'm certainly not), the Philly fluff cake will change your mind. Try it with your afternoon tea or add a spoonful of fresh jam if you're feeling snazzy. read more

Natale's is the go-to bakery for any occasion. The Philly Fluff is a classic and a great treat to take to any party. All of their food and baked goods are amazing. We are partial to the quiche made on Thursday. Fresh bread, cupcakes...and the checkerboard square cake! Yum. read more

Just a superb bakery which, in twenty years, has never disappointed. Recently tried a Black Forest cake and asked where THIS iteration of that classic had been all my life. Nearly took therapy to break an addiction to their fresh French rolls. The best in town. read more

Hardly needs a Yelp. Longstanding best bakery almost anywhere, a pride of Summit. So beloved that when there was a rumor ten years ago that it was being sold, a serious effort began among drs at the nearby hospital to buy the place and keep it open with the same bakers and family recipes. Tons of highlights, so good that items routinely sell out. Just try getting a key lime pie late in the day or at holidays. etc etc. Perfect apple strudel. Etc etc. Go! read more

What a gem of a bakery!! Maybe I'm just used to high bakery prices because I've spent the last five years living in NYC + Jersey City? The prices at Natale's were extremely reasonable. I picked up a large chocolate cake for 12.99. And this was a big boy, I'm talking like a Brucie from Matilda type of chocolate cake. Something like this would have cost at least double at a bakery in Jersey City. They have a TON of selection- pastries, tarts, pies, merengues and any sort of cake that you could imagine. And every combo of icing and filling flavors available too, which I loved. Once my cake was selected, they sweetly offered to write a personal birthday message on the cake. While I waited for the baker to do that in the back at least 5 employees asked me if I was being helped. Although it was crowded when we walked in, they were extremely efficient and had me in and out in less than five minutes. Although service, efficiency, prices and selection were all ace, it's time to talk about the best part- how the cake actually tasted. Just like everything else, the cake was flawless. Thick layers of chocolate butter cream icing spread between several layers of moist vanilla cake. If not for self control, I could have probably eaten five slices in one sitting. If I lived closer I'm sure that I'd be in more, but for now I'll just have to dream about the amazing chocolate cake from Natale's! read more

Popped into this bakery this past weekend and it was a 10/10!! Their prepackaged cookies looked so good and well presented. We walked on over to try some of their larger sized cookies and pastries and they were all delicious. Big fan of the large peanut butter chocolate chip cookie to satisfy my sweet tooth! read more

Great local spot, been around as long as I can remember. The only place I know nearby where you can buy the dried bread husks used to make Tuscan panzanella. Parking can be dodgy, but the staff is wonderful once you get inside. read more

I got gifted a whole Philly Fluff cake. The cake was delicous, albeit a little lacking. The constancy is somewhere between angel food and pound cake. No major flavors in play, and a little bland. I added homemade raspberry preserves and that brought it up to 3 stars read more

Plain cupcakes. Buttercream frosting. To die for! I'm a short term resident so this indulgence is short lived. But until then......

Philly Fluff! Buy it! Eat it! Repeat! :) P.S. grab a ticket when you walk in and wait for your number to be called. Somehow I missed this and was confused for a couple of minutes. P.P.S there is a parking lot next to the bakery. read more

COVID 19 Review - Since moving to the area, we haven't found the "perfect" place to get desserts. We've been moving around from bakery to bakery- but I think we have a winner. We had a last minute outdoor get together where we needed to get a cake. I stopped by Natale's Summit Bakery and now I know why the reviews are *****. First off I would like to say with COVID they only let 4 people in the store at a time, which I think is great. It is really quick in and out for most anyways, so if there is a line no need to worry. They had an amazing selection of desserts and it was so easy (and cheap) to get a really good cake, that everyone was raving about. Also would like to add, my husband love canoli and gets one at every bakery he goes to, he said these canolis were the best! Highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Have Long been a fan of Natale's Bakery but today I left the store feeling very uncomfortable. We waited outside in a short line and then we were let in by a young person wearing a bandana, barely covering his face. As we were waiting for our order to be packed up, I realized there had to be at least 12-15 people in the small shop, all walking in front of each other with no social distancing. A few Employees behind the counter were not wearing their masks correctly, pulling them down below their nose. And last, but not least, we were handed a pen to sign our receipt that had not been sanitized or wiped down from previous customers. As a health care worker, you need to do better. You have an amazing business, you just need someone to come up with a better system to keep both your customers and your staff safe. read more

Omg - stopped in today (12/31/2022) to pick up a Apple Pie and noticed a guy behind the counter on the danish side (his hair - looking like straw) was touching the danishes and donuts as he wasn't aware of it, (his actual hair was touching everything). Omg - the extra nutrients that I wasn't planning on seeing especially in a bake shop where the food handlers should be wearing hair nets or bakers hats...Natale's - a Summit tradition that ought to get their "act together". What a disappointment... read more

Best bakery in Summit!! Reminds me of the traditional bakery's I grew up with in Brooklyn. Definitely my go to place for holiday desserts! They have the best morning pastry's selection. You can't go wrong with their desserts. My favorite is their homemade strawberry shortcake cake, iced cookies, Italian cheese cake and Italian pastries. They also make delicious quiches on Thursday. read more

Awesome bakery in town and it's always packed. We have had multiple options here. Among our favorites are the must get Philly fluff cake...it's a bundt cake which is light and creamy with a layer of powdered sugar on top!!! Yum. Also, great mini pastries such as cannolis, eclairs, napoleons, or cream puffs. Good cupcakes in a variety of flavors. The bread here is also amazing. When you enter be sure to grab a ticket first...and be prepared to wait!!! read more

Natale's Summit Bakery - Yummy - Bakeries Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

Great pastries very delicious breads and the breads are very delicious too. The staffs are amazing too!

Natale's seems to be very popular in this area. Many regulars stop in, it seems to be the go to bakery. All of their desserts seem to be very decedent, rich, and creamy, that have their customers coming back for more. The first time I stopped in, I actually passed it because the sign kind of blends in with the wall. Anyway, the reason I stopped in was to pick up a cake for a coworker I preordered for. My coworker wanted a Tres Leches cake. I personally don't know why my coworker asked for a Tres Leches cake at this spot because that cake is a Latin style cake, and this bakery is very Italian. The cake was not Tres Leches at all. Not even close. I would never recommend buying that type of cake here, however, their moose cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, cannolis, etc are great. I like this bakery overall, I just think it was a mistake to order that type of cake here. Definitely try out their other desserts though. This place is rated well for their delicious Italian cakes! You can't go wrong with those! read more

Really underwhelmed by the turnovers here, they were SO bland and you can barely taste the filling and some of the tarts barely had any filling in them (very skimpy). We tried the lemon, apple, and cherry. Also tried the apricot cookie-like pastry which was also pretty bland. Perhaps the Italian cookies are better, but whatever we tried was below average. There must be better bakeries in the area! read more
