Villabate Alba

Prepare yourself for a visit to the wonderland of bakeries as this place is nothing short of amazing when it comes to Italian pastries, cookies & delights it's like walking into a Christmas bakery with all the colorful treats to choose from and did I mention gelato! An assorted array of Italian ice cream...yum! There's more! Fresh bread is made there along with expresso and other coffee beverages. If you haven't had the Vilabate Alba dessert shop experience don't hesitate and put them on your list of places to visit for all of your sweet & delectable needs.

Excellent find! I was cannoli shopping while in NY, trying all i could find and while in Brooklyn found this place! I didn't take photos inside since there were signs everywhere asking not to photograph or video, so I only have what I purchased and it was very very good! I ended up with a traditional cannolo, lobster tail and a slice of chocolate cake for the hubs. The cannolo was excellent, im always a fan of the candied orange rind, the filling was sweet, but not overly so and creamy, not too thick like icing. Ive never had a lobster tail, but always wanted to try one. The pastry dough is incredible and flaky, the cream not very sweet, so it would be easy to eat the whole thing! The chocolate cake also very good, but thats the hubby's treat! I asked for a double espresso sweetened with a little whipped cream on top, and it was espresso perfection. The gentleman behind the counter had a rich Italian accent and I felt like I was Italy, the smell of espresso and pastries was awesome! I will definitely be back when I visit again!

This is, hands down, the best, old world, Sicilian/Italian bakery in all of Brooklyn. You name it, they have it! It's always so busy that you know it will always be fresh and authentic ✨️ I got my usual line-up of seeded semolina, a few chocolate Cannolli cream Cannolli (sorry, but we got hungry on the way home and a half was all that remains), plus chocolate and pistachio homemade Gelato 😋 One more note: You just can't go in and not be overcome with the many display cases full of fresh baked items! Bring money!! You definitely will not regret anything you buy from the famiglia. Ciao!!

The bakery is located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. It opened in 1979. They sell cakes, cookies, pastries, breads and gelato. The bakery specializes in Italian baked goods. I purchased an Italian bread, cannoli and a slice of tiramisu cake. The order tasted very good and was well-prepared. Friendly and helpful staff.

This bakery is a Brooklyn staple and is another one that you have to try once. It is an old school spot but is expensive. The cookie tray I got was $50. Insane but the cookies were good. The sfiogtalle is always a favorite of mine and they do a good job here. It has a crunch and flakiness that you can hear all the way from NJ. They have all sorts of stuff in here too. The freshly baked breads were something I would get next time.
