Vaccaro's Bakery

This place simply didn't have it all together. I normally love Italian pastries and they seemed to have an abundance of it in their display, perhaps to the point of being overwhelming. I picked a chocolate cigar and a coffee, and the lady behind the counter was running around frantically all over the place doing more than she could handle. The baked good was unfulfilling and dry, and the coffee was standard. I hope they improve but this may be one place you ought to skip.

The breads are fresh every day, pastries you have a wide variety, and they just started baking pizzas.

Walked in to get some brownies, wasn't greeted. Then the person standing behind the counter said something I couldn't hear. Then he insisted whatever it was he said. When I asked him what he said, he forcefully asked if I wanted cookies.

I asked if he could answer some questions, which he answered: he told me that the brownies and cakes were at least a day old. Then he literally could not tell me the difference between two cookies other than that they were chocolate and different. It seemed like there may have been a language barrier, but this establishment might want to employ an English speaker as the main attendant. I'd much rather walk far out of my way to go to Martha's on Ditmars than struggle to order here.

On a side note, there was a cat living there, which did not seem too sanitary to me.
