Cafe Roma Pastry

Every item I ever got from here the family and I loved… Ordered a custom cake for a graduation … It was outstanding…

Everything is delicious, but the best cream donuts ever. I probably shouldn’t even be posting this review because too many people might find out about the donuts…

Recently found this bakery while looking for a Birthday cake for my Gram who loves Strawberry Shortcake.
I called ahead and they were very helpful to figure out what size cake I needed. They did a perfect job on the piping for ‘Happy 90^th Birthday Grandmom’ that’s was impressive in itself!
The cake was delicious the filling was fresh and everyone loved it. I definitely will be retuning!

This place is so great, I had three cakes from here and each of them was sooooo good. Last week I needed to buy my brother and his fiancé a wedding cake, (very last minute) I went in there the day before this wedding early morning, explained what I wanted and my price range, and they made it happen in that short amount of time it was perfect!!! I came back the next day three hours before the wedding and it was beautiful, everyone loved it. I love this bakery it looks very old school but you would be surprised on what they can do. Ill def be back.

I have been dealing with this bakery for years. Very cordial and helpful when you call and order plus polite when you go into the store. Bakery items are very very good. Love the little cream puffs.

Absolutely the best products are always fresh very well made all the old Tyme Italian favorites Cannolis excellent donuts are unbelievable fruit filled cheesecakes dynamite Italian rum cakes I am telling all of you you will not be disappointed. And their prices are right on point
BELLA Café Roma Bakery BELLA.

Fantastic!!! Incredibly reasonable prices for heavenly cakes and desserts!

I needed a cake for my daughter’s first birthday and was not sure where to go. I live around the corner from café Roma and have passed it many times not thinking twice about it. After reading reviews on Unilocal decided to give them a try. They far exceeded my expectations, which is no small task given I am super picky! Everyone raved about the taste of the cake and I could not have been happier with the beautiful decorations! I plan on getting all my cakes from there in the future. Price was great too!

This bakery is awesome! I picked up a German chocolate cake here for a coworker’s birthday, and it was a work of art. I also got a carrot cake cupcake for myself, and it was adorable. There was a little carrot iced on top, after all! The cream cheese frosting was delicious; sweet but not too sweet. The carrot cake itself was moist and flavorful with plump raisins inside. Even better: no nuts! I can’t wait to go back and try something else, like the cannolis. They even have a few tables inside if you want to grab a coffee and savor your baked good on the spot.
Everything was reasonably priced. (The German chocolate cake, a 3-​layer cake, was only $ 16!) One thing I recommend is that you bring cash, because that’s all they take. There is an East River Bank ATM nearby, but chances are you’re not a member of that bank. Any fees are worth it, however.

My beautiful coworker brought in a German chocolate birthday cake from this wonderful Italian pastry shop today. It was absolutely divine! The best cake that I have had since moving to Philadelphia. Mind you… I am not even a fan of chocolate cake and this cake was chocolate on chocolate. It was 3 layers… with chocolate and coconut icing on each layer… chocolate shavings on the outside. Strong coconut flavor, but I love coconut! Next time my coworker passes by I’d love for her to pick up some cannolis for me… :)

Went in for a cannoli and walked out with a St. Joseph cake (riccota/​choc chip). Their filling is really amazing, with a slight lemony flavory and the zeppoli itself was light and airy. Together, it was better than a cannoli. And it’s priced right.
Update: Best cream donuts ever. Go early, they often sell out by noon.

Delicious pastries. If it wasn’t cash only I would go here much more often.

I want cannoli– I come here. They do it right. Empty shells on display, and stuffed after ordering. Thank you for being you, Café Roma.

Happened across this place solely because of Unilocal and now I’m in love! Amazing, freshly made pastries at HUGELY reasonable prices.

~Cash only~
Was craving cake, wanted the pound cake but went with the Italian Rum Cake because my mom likes rum cake. It’s multi-​layered: cake, chocolate filling, cake, icing, cake, vanilla filling, cake — I couldn’t figure out if the top layer of cake was a different variety, there were a couple bites where it seemed like it could’ve been a slightly stale bread, but it worked to add an exotic aspect. Icing was slightly too sweet for my preferences, but absolutely NOT the grocery store lard & sugar crap. My family scarfed it down in no time.
Also got a coconut custard bar that was HEAVENLY.
Overall, I am Very Intrigued, and will definitely be back to try more things! Plus the prices are good.

Café Roma is my go-​to place for all things sweet! Not only have they been a local business for years and years, but their prices are unbeatable (especially for this Manayunk resident, who really doesn’t want to pay $ 35 for a cake or pie!). Their pastries, cakes, pies, cookies (I could go on and on) are OUTSTANDING and their prices are so reasonable! I always get great service when I call and stop in, and during my last visit I was even given a free pastry! I absolutely love Café Roma!

My go to place for cakes, pies and cupcakes!
Even though I love to bake, there are sometimes when I don’t have the time to get everything done. When I need to go for that «homemade» feel, I order from Roma. The service is great, the prices can’t be beat and the baked goods are delicious.
And it’s not just for orders to go… On the weekends, the kiddos and I like to stop in for a treat (the sticky buns are great) and a coffee (for me, of course).

Wonderful ownership and staff, it is the place you can buy the best Pizzelle in town. Do not forget to try their pastry and bread.
Do you remember when you were getting your bread at the «Panetteria» somewhere in a small village in Calabria in the 1950’s?

Some people swear by Eiselen’s. I am adamantly not one of them. There is nothing better in Roxborough or Manayunk then Café Roma, and there are fewer places with nicer staff or that are more committed to the location and the customers then Roma’s is.
The danish are magnificent, and only .75 a pop. They have mini and big sticky buns, with raisins or nuts, and the little ones are only .25! Their doughnuts are gigantic and melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious. The filled ones are thick and cakey; the glazed, light and flaky! Cakes are made to order, although they always have some that are blank for emergencies (if you are lucky, there’s still one left when you get there) not to mention they always have delicious fruit desserts (sheet pies for slicing, and little personal round tarts, and custom order ones and oh! the list just goes on). Artery-​destroying cannolis. Tons of variations of butter cookies and wafers. Muffins that are full of fresh fruit; crumbly, and sweet without being overwhelming…
The café always has four or five old guys sitting around drinking coffee and talking italian, though sometimes there are some old greek (?) guys there, too. Back in the day, they used to sit there smoking, and even though I, too, smoke, there is definitely something to be said for the law that prevents them from doing so anymore. Much better place to relax, now :) I don’t drink coffee myself, so I can’t speak to the quality of their offerings.
Roma’s is my go to bakery for meeting graft, lateness bribes, birthday cakes, and special treats for myself that I wsh were a little more infrequent…

Don’t show up at 7:30 and get the fresh sticky buns! Leave them all for me.
