Sal & Jerry Bakery Inc

My favorite bakery. Really good baked goods, amazing bread, and really fair prices. Not too over hyped like some of the other bakeries in this neighborhood. Try the almond biscotti, the napoletans, the proscuitto bread, and the broccoli bread… just as a start.

I come here most Saturday mornings for fresh bread and a couple of pastries.
Prosciutto bread, semolina, and the lobster tails are always on my list. The cookies are great to bring to events as a gift.

The best cannoli cake you will ever eat (may be better than the ones I have had in Sicily). This is dangerous.

I just found Sal & Jerry’s cookies (pre-​packaged) at one of my fav stores in Buffalo, NY. All I can say is «WOW». I bought the Fish Cookies and the Biscotti Napoletan. My husband will be lucky if there are any left for him when he returns home from his nine to five.
Both were tasty and there were more options. My absolute favorite today is the Biscotti. It’s a fruitcake and or spumoni in a hard, easily moveable, tasty treat.
Sal and Jerry, please send more of your goodness to The Market in The Square! Please?

Great pastries! Great Prices! this place is a wonderful neighborhood bakery shop that exceeds expectations!

I was recommended here and ordered a cake for a baby shower. Far exceeded my expectations, the price was reasonable, the cake tasted amazing and they worked with me patiently to make the perfect design for the shower theme.

I’m old school Brooklyn. I live in Staten Island. I still shop Sal & Jerry’s ! Bread, cookies, you can’t go wrong. Everyone will ask «Were did you get these, there the best»! P. S. Don’t forget I told you so!

Why come here when you have 25 other Italian bakeries within a one mile radius (especially with the mega bakery Villabate Alba just a few blocks down)??
It’s their breads. Their amazing breads. The lard bread, the olive bread, the spinach bread and the sweet onion focaccia. My friends can’t get enough of their spinach bread and I’ve started to bring them to dinners/​potlucks/​parties since everyone loves them so much. Just delicious and so so cheap.
Why else would I come here? Their delicious rainbow cookies, pignolies, and lace cookies make the trip worth it as well.
They are also super friendly here too. The interior may not sparkle like the other bakeries but it’s a solid neighborhood joint!

The prosciutto bread (their specialty) and Panna di Casa were both top notch. The sfogliatelli were reasonably sized (unlike the unnaturally oversized ones at, say, Mona Lisa II), and the filling was superb — not too sweet at all. A minor quibble — they could have been a bit crispier — but not enough to lose a star. Will definitely be back to try more of their selections. Cheerful service too.

This place doesn’t even deserve ONE star! I placed an order for a birthday cake. I wanted cannoli cream and banana custard on different layers. I don’t care who thinks that is a good combo or not, its what I wanted. Okay, so, I tell the baker himself that this is what I wanted. He agreed, all is well and I went on my marry way. So now I go pick up the cake, I’m told he only put the custard because he didn’t like the way the two flavors tasted. Luckily, he wasn’t there. I told the girl I don’t care if he liked it or not. He’s not the one eating it or paying for it! Who is he??? If I wanted salami and cheese in a cake, I should get it. if I’m paying for it then thats what I should get! NEVER AGAIN!!!

ok, I like bread, I mean I really like bread. and this is some of the best bread ive had here in Brooklyn, fresh and hot with a wide verity of breads. most places your stuck with the traditional italian bread or long french bread, which are yummy in their own rights but sometimes depending on your mood or what your making for dinner selection and choices are number one. Sal & Jerry runs a very clean place but sometimes the counter can get a little busy as this is a small shoppe.

This place is great! Their speciality breads are fantastic!!! Service is great and friendly! I especially love their tomato and onion bread!

If I could give Sal & Jerry Bakery 100 stars I would. Two years later I am still in love with this bakery and the people that run it. This bakery is run the old fashion Italian way. Everything is made fresh with love and care and it shows. I am from Boston and searched everywhere for a bakery that could recreate the bread that my mother made for us. She has been gone many many years and I searched for a very long time. I was so fortunate to have found Sal & Jerry’s. Gianni and his dad went out of their way to make my Easter complete again this year. On very short notice, I contacted them and asked them to make the «Ciccoli» bread that I grew up with and they came through. I can’t wait to enjoy it on Easter morning. This bread is incredible. It is as close to the bread my mother made for us as I could ever wish to get. This is no ordinary bread. This is a very old recipe for a very delicious meat filled bread that is very time consuming to make. I would recommend Sal & Jerry’s to everyone, even if they don’t live in NY.

My father grew up in Sicily, so we mainly eat only Italian food in my household. As a result, I’ve tried dozens of breads and baked goods from other Italian bakeries in the five boroughs and on Long Island and nothing compares to Sal & Jerry’s! This bakery is owned and operated by first-​generation Italian-​Americans who still use original recipes and baking methods from Sicily. My favorite item from Sal & Jerry’s is the semolina bread – you can tell that it has real durum semolina wheat from the nice yellow color and the distinct taste. It’s not like that dry white flour Italian bread you buy at most bakeries. It’s so delicious on its own that it doesn’t need to be dipped in olive oil or butter. The cookies and cakes are all incredibly fresh and use simple ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, real sugar, and natural flavorings like lemon, anisette, etc. While they still stick to the traditional Italian items, Rob from Sal & Jerry’s has a real talent for cake decorating and is introducing new custom-​decorated cakes and cupcakes. Check out their Facebook page for some of his latest creations!

I recently started going to Sal & Jerry’s. I too own a bakery and have gotten in touch with them through a mutual friend. Once i tried their stuff i could see care was put into each item. The owners care about what leaves their store… something rare these days.
The cookies are all awesome and melt in your mouth! They’re always fresh too and the jelly is always soft.
The lobster tails are a must have! The beauty of this place is that they don’t keep any pastry on hand. So if you want it they make it fresh. Their cream is unbeleiveable. It’s not like other bakeries where it’s like eating a pastry shell filled with a greasy substance they call «cream».
Recently I had a the sponge cake, the girl behind the counter recommended the plain (the have choc spong too) and it was so fresh and tasty.
I’m always impressed with every new item I try at S & J’s. Forgot to mention that the semolina bread is amazing too.
Enjoy!
