Paneorama Italian Bakery Corporation

I bought a chocolate cigar since the price was right but it was so bad I threw it out. It was a tasteless puff pastry were horrible chocolate that tasted like nothing. I wouldn’t even call it a chocolate cigar I don’t know what it was maybe a chocolate cheese doodle. All I know it was the worst one I’ve ever had.

i have gone to this bakery for years since i lived in the neighborhood. they have some of the most delicious italian breads baked on site and the best time to get your bread is in the morning when there fresh out the oven but you can get bread at anytime and will still taste good. you can get basilicata, puglia, ciabatta, sicily, and also you can get french style bread and there all very good. they also very good italian buttered cookies and very good cakes. on holidays for the past few years for thanksgiving and christmas i would specially order a animal shape style sicily bread you can get it seeded or non-​seeded and when i say animal shape bread you can get a alligator or turtle which i would get take a look at the photos posted. im sure there are other places for good italian bake goods but if your in the area stop by i recommended it.

They once sold me a hair with a cake around it. That’s a deal breaker for me and a «never again» kind of thing

Decent Bakery. Took it home to NJ. A lot of people loved the cake and the cookies. Nice find on Unilocal

I’ve been here a few times. My parents only go for the Italian bread and that’s it. They never go for anything else and I know why. The quality is lacking for the high prices you have to pay for anything besides bread. Did I mention I saw a roach on the table!

Old School bakery in my old hood!
Some family still lives near by so whenever we need a cake we go here. The cannoli and dulce de leche cakes are yummy and priced just right.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but if you live near by this place is golden.

Michael B’s review confirmed that I was suspicious for a reason.
I’d walked by this place a good 10 times, and I was always tempted, but somehow it seemed like NO ONE EVER BOUGHT THE STUFF… so I’d be getting year old butter cookies. But I was walking by and I wanted to go to my girl’s house after and chill with her fam… figured a sweet something might sweeten the deal.
I asked the lady in english what she suggested was… her reply indicated to me spanish communication might be better hehe.
She said cheesecake moved like… HOTCAKES…haha (is this a pun?)
So I went with a small ($ 12) marble cheesecake. It survived being in three boroughs and a cab and four trains pretty well, only a quarter of the edges cracked off.
Rich flavor, not dry, not wet, and went good with coffee.
I’ll go again… and steer clear of the chalky cookies hehe (sorry Michael)

This places does all their baking on premises, which generally suggests that the people running the place know what they’re doing and are offering really fresh stuff, but I can’t say if that’s the case here.
This bakery is located on a street corner, and each large picture window on the two sides of the building it occupies have large picture windows which were, when I went, blocked entirely by huge posters advertising, «We have St. Joseph’s Sfingi!» I’d never heard of this before. A quick google search later, it seems that a St. Joseph’s Sfingi is a traditional Italian Catholic cream puff with orange zest, chocolate, and rum. However, I was here early in the morning, not hungry for the large Sfingis, and they wouldn’t have survived the long trip back to my office. They did look very good, though.
Instead, I got a chocolate chip cookie. But it was terrible — very dry, and a little chalky. How the hell do you make a bad chocolate chip cookie?
To be fair, there’s a whole array of other products here, and many of them looked delicious. Future reviewers, help us measure the merit of this little bakery!
I, for one, was very disappointed, but I’m willing to give it another try if I’m ever in the area again.
