"Italian-American bakery and café established by Renato Poliafito in October 2019, offering a variety of pastries and baked goods."

"At the northern end of Vanderbilt Avenue is Ciao, Gloria, an Italian American cafe known for its breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. The pastry case has black and white cookies, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, banana bread, and a whole lot more, including custardy bomboloni on Saturdays. Its popular breakfast sandwiches are available all day; they have a slab of frittata and can be topped with prosciutto, avocado, or bacon for an additional charge." - Eater Staff

"If you couldn’t glean from the name already, know that Ciao, Gloria specializes in Italian pastries and cookies like biscotti and amaretti, but there are plenty of brownies and full birthday cakes, too. You don’t have to tell them it’s not you’re birthday until July. Go to their website here to place your order." - hannah albertine

"Unlike most Brooklyn coffee shops, this one in Prospect Heights has all of the food motivation you need to get you out of bed. From the prosciutto, egg, and cheese to muffins that taste better than whatever the “Muffin Man” is whipping up right now, the menu at Ciao Gloria is full of stuff you’ll actually want to order." - nikko duren
