Not only was the design perfect (Rapunzel theme), it was DELICIOUS.

The price for this order was also very reasonable compared to many places. Absolutely recommend!

Another great stop! I love to find the best doughnuts in places that I visit. Harrison Bakery was…read moreone of those stops and I was happy I was able to find it. It was about 1.5 miles from my hotel stay in Syracuse. Upon entry (see the pics), you can tell it is a business that distributes the doughnuts out. The back of the store is busy with guys packing and wheeling loads in and out of business vehicles. I ordered six doughnuts. I chose glazed and cinnamon and then told the clerk to finish it off. There was no drinks or coffee, other than skim milk, which I got. It was good because it was freezing cold. Doughnut places in Mass like to charge 2 or 3 dollars per doughnut. This was not the case at Harrison Bakery. After I entered, it seemed like the place got really busy. When I returned to my car, there were alot of vehicles in the lot than when I arrived. Price: Cheap Vibe: Friendly Service: Great...3 employees ready to take orders Parking: Plenty Would I return: Yes, I hope to when I come back for Notre Dame Football weekend vs. Syracuse weekend in November '26.

It's definitely not the prettiest place, but it is clean and who cares when the pastries taste so good?! The employees were very helpful when we had questions about the pastries.

If you do not specify, the fruit inside is peaches. The cakes are not overly sweet, they are not 'sugary' cakes. Bakery can produce custom cake with short turnaround and are accommodating.

I have driven past this shop several times and always make a mental note to stop by. Today, a…read moreThursday afternoon around noon, I finally had a moment to stop in. Here is some information I gathered during my visit: Parking - small open lot in front of the shop but they have additional parking in the back. I stopped by on a Thursday around lunch and three other cars were in the front lot. Service - this shop doesn't seem offer a dine-in experience, it's more of a grab and go. The blonde lady behind the counter was cordial and helpful in my selection. Food - as soon as I walked in I noticed the glass cases full of delicious looking pastries. I practiced self control and only purchases one cookie. For lunch I bought the stuffed bread (their lunch special) with pepperoni. That stuffed bread can definitely feed three people. Price - my stuffed bread plus raspberry cookie all came out to $7.95 with tax. This is extreme reasonably priced considering how big the stuffed bread is. I'll definitely be coming back to try some more pastries.

Topped off with a cream filled cannoli that was delicious. If that's all I had I be sing the praises of Casa Del Pane. But.... I decided to take home a few of their cookie dough balls to try. Now, while my teenage son was all over these and dancing for joy, I found them a bit too sweet. Nothing wrong with the flavor or mouth feel, just too sweet for me. I'd definitely stop in for another slice or two of their Tomato Pie... But we're all different with our own unique pallets...I would suggest you give it a try for yourself as I did enjoy the totality of what I got...ESPECIALLY the tomato pie.

That proved so popular that owner Carrie Fanizzi had to move to bigger quarters at Northern Lights Mall in 2010. Two years later, due to a variety of economic and personal issues, Fanizzi closed up, then briefly had a retail outlet at Niko's Restaurant in downtown's Hanover Square, and then settled in for a long run exclusively selling cakes wholesale to restaurants. At the end of 2021, Fanizzi finally got back into the retail business. Big Mama's opened its own shop for the first time in almost a decade at 6598 Thompson Road near Carrier Circle in DeWitt. That's the former Pronto Joey's building near Joey's Restaurant. The wife and I had had Big Mama's cheesecake when it was being sold as individual slices out of other establishments and always enjoyed it. Once we saw they had their own spot, we knew we had to hit the up as well. We've had several different flavors from them and they're all great. They have the usual stuff you'd expect to see, but some different off the wall flavors you won't find anywhere else, like creamscicle. The space is small for customers, you just walk in right to a counter and order from the flavors they have. The employees are always very friendly, and slices are priced comparably to other places. I'd definitely recommend going and picking you up a slice. Or several slices.

We have also toured and partaken in quite a few different places that are completely gluten free and almost always leave underwhelmed... This bakery however does not fall into that category. The first time we came here my daughters were so excited to be able to eat whatever they wanted, that we went a bit nuts and ordered quite a lot of different things. Every single thing we had (muffins, cookies, cakes, cupcakes) was absolutely fantastic. We have since done special pick-up orders for birthday treats and we were again impressed with their fantastic customer service and wonderful foods. I can't say enough about this place and encourage anyone that cannot have gluten to give them a try because you will not be disappointed. The only negative thing about this place is that they are only open on Saturdays (unless it's a special order), but I am able to look past that since they are just getting started.
