Top Bakeries on Staten Island

Winter is here and let’s all be honest… we dig into sweets a little bit more! Some even refer to Winter as hibernating season. As we cuddle up during the winter time, we find ourselves craving desserts more than some would say in Summer. I definitely can put my hand up as well for that one. If you have a big sweet tooth, then just keep on reading because here are the top ten bakeries on Staten Island in no particular order. From custom cakes to delicious pastries and cookies. One of my personal favorites that I like to try from each bakery would be the famous red velvet cupcake!

Royal crown is located on 1350 Hylan Blvd and there was never a time I was in Royal Crown and it was not extremely busy! In my opinion, it is pretty well known for their chocolate loaf (in that matter, any of their breads). Walking into their bakery always smells divine and every single item in there always looks like it was just made. I usually treat myself after my meal with a cappuccino and a slice of their classic cheesecake. Their large cannoli’s are definitely a major hit as well. With plenty to choose from, another great option are the rainbow cookies. I never have a bad experience with the food or service when I go there!

Buono Bakery is located on 1117 Hylan Blvd and they have been for some time. This classic bakery is quite famous along with the most outstanding reviews. They have a cannoli dip cream dish which is a major craving of mine from time to time. You’re extremely lucky if you get your hands on one! They make all certain types of wedding cakes and delicious pies. The latest pie I want to try is their banana cream pie. The perfection Buono bakery carries in their work is phenomenal.

Alfonso himself taught his son everything he was learned in Italy. The importance of tradition and classic features is the key to why it is still successful till this day. Alfonso’s son Anthony continues to maintain his father’s dream in baking pastries and giving outstanding customer service. They take just about any custom cake order you can imagine. My friend once ordered a cake for her son’s 5th birthday. It was better than she could imagine. The thought, creativeness, expertise, and taste were all 100 out of 10!
