True family business. They care about the food, service, prices. Always willing to accomodate a customer. Love tbe cream puffs.

This is an older bakery. They don't have a huge variety of baked goods but they do have a cooked food section in the back. I love how they have rugelachs in many flavors and biscottis as well. I'm unsure if the croissants and butter cookies are made on premises. The croissants were good but tasted generic. The rugelachs tasted a bit old the each time I had it. I thought it was a bad batch but it seems to be that way every time I get them. The last time I got them they were hard and difficult to bite into and tasted stale. They were pretty expensive too. For $14.75 per pound, no cookies should be old. read more

I love that Vito's is a short 10 minute walk away. A couple of my favorites are the corn muffins and apple strudel. Quick tip, you can find the apple strudel in the refrigerator directly across from the display case. I did not know this previously but their pumpernickel bagel, which only costs $1.00 is also quite good. read more

I am super disappointed after just trying a few items from this bakery. I can be slightly biased since I worked at a great one in Bensonhurst (Angelo's) when I was in HS, but this stuff was not good. The lobster tail was definitely old and the cream tasted like some type of industrial cleaning agent! I thought maybe it was my taste buds after giving birth not too long ago, but I know it wasn't our stuff because we use fragrance free soaps. I was also unimpressed as the cream is supposed to be french cream and it was this gross whipped cream. Then my husband tried the strawberry shortcake. The cake was definitely stale and when I asked him about the cream, he said the same thing about it tasting like some kind of soap or chemical! I am glad it seems like they clean their equipment, but grossed out that it's not well rinsed. That or they use some gross chemical crap to make their cream! The seven layer (rainbow) cookies are $18.50/lb and were fine I guess. Nothing special, but also just small things like not cutting off the edges. That part was a bit gross and crunchy and just doesn't present well. On top of that it was $13.50 for the lobster tail, strawberry shortcake and 3 pieces of seven layer cookies - totally not worth it for us throwing away essentially the whole lobster tail and half the cake. I miss my old bakery and if they were still open, that would be the only place I'd go. I wish I could like this place because it's close to our pediatrician, but unfortunately, I don't think I shall be back. read more

Vito.. what's with the no pictures sign? I have nothing but love for you! When I'm in Brooklyn, I need a little sumthin sumthin. Cannoli? Nah. Espresso and biscotti sounds about right. Walking in, Vito's bakery is best described as a place you want to be locked in for the weekend. With a spoon. Everything looks deelish! Lots of choices to satisfy my afternoon craving. But I spy with my little eye a freshly made nut cake. I see the different choices of biscotti. Vito, I would have went wild in this place. Cash only?? I ask for a double espresso and a piece of nut cake. The woman behind counter asked if this was the right size cut. She weighs it and gives me the goods. This transaction is not happening in Long Island!! Vito's bakery is a true Italian bakery, the smells alone are intoxicating. Fresh breads, Italian cookies, ready made cakes in the ice box. I think I just described heaven.. My buddy is with me, he's from Texas. He doesn't know what I just experienced. He's looking at the cake I bought, I didn't share! It was really really good. (Pinkie to lip) It was picture worthy.. Come to Vito's bakery for the best Brooklyn has to offer! read more

Got cannoli in the afternoon. Shells were stale, cream was turning sour. I know they fill them to order, but it seems that the shells were at least a day old, and cream even older. read more

I came strictly for the lard bread and chose this spot based solely because it was close to where I was staying. This is not like the lard bread I've had before. The woman said they only had the small size and I bought the last 3 because I promised to bring it home from my vacation. I'm glad they only had small because it was a waste of money. There were a few huge chunks of ham and I couldn't taste any black pepper or cheese. If you're looking for lard bread go to Mazzola Bakery! Mazzola uses a heavy hand of prosciutto, cheese and black pepper. read more

I always get my cold cuts here. I dont have to tell them how to slice the meats. They always cut them perfectly for sandwiches. Nice and thin. Never had any problems with whatever I purchased here. Ray C. read more

Vito Bakery Inc is a few things: a bakery, a deli, and a mini supermarket. The food is excellent. It may be a bit pricy, but the food is delicious. What I really appreciate is that if you are in the mood for cake, you don't have to buy the whole thing. You can walk out with a slice or two. The heroes are also huge and can be stretched to two meals. The problem is the service. The bakery itself is not very big. Instead of one person at the deli counter and other staff at the register, the employees ran back and forth while the line got longer. The owner seemed more concerned with schmoozing and barking orders at her staff rather than helping out. read more

I love this bakery because they make the best Italian bread and Italian cookies. I just tried their Irish soda bread and ot was also great.

If you're seeking Italian pastries, cookies or cakes you've come to the right place. From the moment I walked into this small, local bakery on Avenue U, I basically wanted to buy and eat EVERYTHING like the cookie monster. The bakery was decked wall to wall with a massive selection of cookies and pastries. Now I know what pastry heaven is probably like. In addition, there were numerous cakes in the refrigerators against the wall, most notably strawberry cheesecakes and strawberry shortcakes (vanilla and chocolate). I came in here on a weekday to look for a cake for a birthday, specifically a strawberry shortcake. There are plenty of bakeries, Chinese and Italian, in the area, but I didn't need anything fancy. I just needed something that looked delicious, well-made and fresh. The main reason I chose them was due to the number of photos they had on their Yelp page. From looking at their Yelp photos, I knew they had a decent selection to choose from, so I called in the day before to see what their stock was like and the woman was very friendly and helpful, letting me know that they always had strawberry shortcake on hand throughout the day, so that was good to know and was convincing enough for me to swing by. On the day that I visited to purchase the strawberry shortcake, I couldn't have had a better experience here. In the 10 minutes that I spent inside, I asked the woman behind the counter numerous questions about their cakes, regarding how big they were (6 inches), how many serving it contained (about 8) and, most importantly, the price ($16 for the whole shortcake). She answered every single question like a champ and I made my purchase immediately. On top of it, she asked if I needed any writing on the cake, so I wrote down what I needed written and it came out perfectly. Prior to my departure, we had a brief conversation about the other cakes they had on display and she couldn't have been any friendlier. As for the strawberry shortcake, it was a little on the sweet side for my family, but I loved it. It was the type of strawberry shortcake that was made with strawberry jam filling in between cake layers. Although the best strawberry shortcakes tend to have actual strawberries and cream within the layers, I didn't actually mind the jam at all. The cake was a bit heavy on the cream, but it was all very tasty when eaten together. I will definitely come back to try their other pastries and cookies ... and maybe even another cake. read more

Love their bread and jelly filled cookies but their pastries always seem to taste old I tried different days still don't taste fresh! The cold cuts and their hero's are good. Girls at counter not too friendly! Place not clean the back floor by the deli is dirty like they don't sweep or mop? For a bakery they need to be spotless! read more

The staff girls working here are super helpful and sweet. I've been an occasional customer. I like their rainbow cookie. My review is in disbelief how the almond paste cookies with the nuts are FREAKING $75/lb.... $75!!!!! I'm in disbelief. I asked when i paid and called back to ask again for the price. Mind blown how expensive these cookies are. Over$3 for a TINY little cookie. It didn't taste any different than most bakeries in Brooklyn. read more

Vito Bakery Inc - Most expensive almond paste cookies ever!!! 75lb - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cash only, no ATM. The younger ladies behind the counter were very friendly/nice. The older obvious owners were cold and looked like they'd be standoffish if engaged. The assorted Italian cookies were solid NY Italian bakery cookies. The cheese cake (American style cream cheese cake) was old and dried out when cut up to serve at home. Disappointing. I wouldn't bother going back as there are 2-3 other fantastic Italian Bakeries with 20 mins drive of here. read more

Glad to have this Italian bakery in my neighborhood. good price too. I love their cheese cake but I only can have it once a while. As the cakes are too sweet, if they reduce a bit sugar will be perfect. read more

My experience with Vito's bakery is very disappointing! $2 for one tiny cannoli. I bought 2 cannolis which were very hard and didn't taste good at all. Apple strudel was horrible as well, soggy and stale. So I was ripped off and received horrible stale pastries which ended up in the garbage. By the way their cold cuts section is awful as well. Those sandwiches are beyond cheap! I won't be back and I don't recommend this place to anyone! They don't deserve even one star. This place SERIOUSLY SUCKS! Everything at Vito's bakery is expensive and old. They don't throw away stale food, they sell it to customers! read more

This place used to be a lot better years ago and much more affordable, perhaps it's been under new management because the customer service that used to be top notch have been lacking and sometimes rude. Seems people now have to wait a while for service even when there's like one or two people in front of them and it seems every few times I've been here a customer is getting scolded at by the same lady who is I'm guessing the manager? There used to be a giant chart of cake sizes, servings, and prices displayed in front, but that's been taken down. Prices have increased and the cake quality seems to have changed, won't say the taste is bad, but it's different than what it is used to be. I would say some cakes have become a bit too sweet. We also used to pay about $30-35 for a 9 or 10 inch cake with flower decorations, but the price seems to have jumped to $40-45. Prices used to be reasonable when you wanted to swap out certain ingredients like which type of cream you wanted, but it's like they add another $5 just for that now. The pastries are still good, like the rainbow cake and cannolis, etc. , but the cake prices are too much. read more

Best deli sandwiches ever!!! I've been a loyal customer since the 80's cheese danish's and cookies are so delicious! Service is awesome!!

With so few of the Brooklyn Italian bakeries from my childhood still around this one is a treasure to me. I stop here occasionally for their butter cookies and from time to time I have tried their other products. Everything is delicious! I once sent my nephew to pick up a order of cookies and of course he went to the wrong store. I noticed immediately because the taste of their products are always so fresh and delicious. The staff is always so friendly and often I'm allowed to sample new items. The only down side is the parking in the area - hard to find. read more

I love this Italian bakery in the heart of a mini Chinatown. The place itself is very clean and the service is very fast. The prices are pretty good as well but that's not why I love this place. I love it because of all the selection they have to offer! Their French and Italian bread is baked fresh and they have mini whole wheat Italian bread! It's great! They also have cream puffs stacked together and chocolate covered cream puffs. There's also a lot of cakes and just a whole ton of selection- I wish I could eat it all!!! Everything is baked fresh, which I absolutely love. They also have like savory dishes like pasta and salmon- not sure how long they've been refrigerated but looks good! read more

Love love love love love love ! After delicious Vietnamese food on the same block, it's mandatory to stop here for deserts to take home. Everything here is great, & we all have our favorites - mine is the biscotti (sorry - basic, but so good)! Usually less of a wait than Michael's, & some of the other old school bakeries around here, super friendly staff, & also sells prepared Italian foods & Italian sodas in the back; they also have super fancy cakes, including beautiful wedding cakes, etc. Its a joy that they are still here & not a bank branch or dollar store. read more

Store is tucked away along the Avenue U restaurants and businesses. Inside are a vast display of assorted Italian pastries, cookies, and loaf breads. The lady behind the counter was polite, told me to point to the pastries that I wanted since there's no signs on them. Pastries looked Insta-photo ready, but the taste lacked freshness. The Strawberry/Chocolate mousse cupcake was a bit hard to eat. Cream puff also tasted a tad stale. At $3 per piece I was expecting good quality products; slightly disappointed. read more

Passed by this place manyyyy times for over 10 years. The other day I decided to give it a try because I needed to get a birthday cake at the last minute. When I tried that cheesecake, I hit myself because I asked myself why did I not try this place sooner!! The cheesecake was fresh and it was amazing.... all my friends that tried it were so shocked! I am going to be back to this location again to try other types of desserts. read more

Small hidden gem on avenue U. I randomly stumbled upon this bakery when I needed a last minute birthday cake. We got the strawberry cheesecake and wow was it good! The second time I returned I got the chocolate layer cake and was less impressed because I only like a certain type of chocolate cake. However, it only cost about $12-$15 for the big cake so no complaints here! I will be stopping by for pick me ups in the near future to try all the other goodies, and they have a lot! Don't forget try their rice balls, deli in the back of shop. read more

Back again last week. This time I tried to convince the owner to open a shop down in Naples because the area is so under-served when it comes to pastry shops. Schiavdel was delicious as usual, cream didn't have much lemon zest, but was still great. Tried the red velvet cake slices and they were also very good. read more

Their bread is delicious, I'd give it a 4. Their pastries are decent. I'd give them a 3. Cannolis are freshly filled daily. Vito's is also one of very, very few Italian bakeries in the neighborhood. Their cheesecake, however, isn't the greatest, and their Italian cookies are "just ok". Their tricolor cookies, or rainbow cookies, definitely leave something to be desired. My biggest problem with Vito's, and why I wouldn't be able to give them anything higher than an overall 2.5 stars, is that I've seen Beatrice, the owner, and her daughter, treat their employees incredibly poorly, on more than one occasion. I also don't like how much bread they throw away on a daily basis - sometimes as much as 20 loaves. Why not donate it to City Harvest? If it weren't for these 2 huge qualms, I'd give Vito's a 3.5 based on bread, cookies, and pastries, but considering how they treat employees, and how much food they waste, I'm gonna stick with a 2.5. Also important to note that they do not accept credit or debit cards. read more

My experience was different than my husband's from a few weeks ago. He said he got a rather rude counter clerk and he refused to go inside with me but told me to be ware of the rude woman. Hubby warned: "Stay away from vanilla cookies, get butter cookies only!" *tip: cash only I walked in and was greeted and was quickly given attention. I ordered authentic Italian butter cookies. The staff was friendly despite it being so busy. I ordered 1lb of cookies for us and 2lbs for my elderly Italian neighbor who's adorably friendly and sweet. She had family over so I wanted there to be enough for a few of them. I was given my order ASAP and it was $30 for everything including the smiles from all the workers. They wrapped the neighbor's cookies in a pretty cellophane package with ribbons and Easter eggs. I will be back--my husband, traumatized by the rude staff when he went will only enjoy the cookies from a 2nd party exchange.
