Sal & Dom's Pastry Shop

Sal and Dom’s went above and beyond in creating the perfect cake for my bridal shower! From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful, turning my vision into a stunning reality. The book-themed design was breathtaking, with intricate details, delicate florals, and elegant gold accents. It was truly a work of art! Not only was the cake beautiful, but it was also fresh, moist, and absolutely delicious. Every guest raved about both the look and the taste! Sal and Dom’s exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend them for any special occasion!

Excellent cakes and pastries, light and moist just like outta be. Happen to be in the area? This is a place that you must visit, highly recommended. Saluti!!!

Here we are again said I wouldn't shop here but thought we give them another shot..First time was a carrot cake that was all cream. The actual cake part was maybe 3/4 in thick the rest was all cream. When back for a strawberry short cake the word short really came into play because the cake was about 7-8 inches tall 6 inches was cream..Not sure what's happening to this place..but man has it gone down hill. The bakers need a good talking too before its too late. in response to owner..if you read it right.. its says its all cream or frosting hardly any cake 6 to 7 inches of cream 1 and half of cake..

I love this bakery. Nice selection of cookies and pastries. There snacks are delicious and affordable. You definitely get great quality for a fair price.

Bought excellent sfogliatelle, mini strawberry pastries, éclair, and butter cookies here today, as well as the best cannoli I've had in years. The shell was so crispy but light and the cream was smooth and flavorful.

Some of the most scrumptious delightful desserts you'll ever taste. Wonderful Owners Too!!

This place is really good bakery to buy pasties the only problem that l have is that in the back where they make the pasties l dont see them wearing gloves and that is a no no for me. The lady that works there or owns it l see her in the back not wearing gloves and she also takes care of customers touches money and doesn't wash hands. That's is the downfall but otherwise is a very good place to buy cakes etc all is fresh. Now and days people should wear gloves

This bakery has been in the area since I was child and from their boxing it says 1956. I recently went to pick up 2 sets of cookies and 2 Flans for the Thanksgiving dinners I was attending. Both houses loved each of the things I brought. The workers are very polite and thankfully the line was not long at all like some other bakeries I've been to in the Bronx.

Pastries are always fresh and extremely tasty. Have been coming here for years especially in March for the feast of St. Joseph. If you go here once you will be hooked. Sal E. New Rochelle

This is a long standing Italian bakery that has been around since 1956. They are well-known for their rainbow cookies, so I went with those and also their Italian butter cookies. Both of these were very fresh and absolutely delicious. This is a humble family run place with very basic decor. However, it is the quality of the food that matters. And its high quality is the reason this place has been open for almost 70 years!

Ordered a Carrot Cake for a Birthday The cake was 95% Cream. When we cut into it we couldn't believe what we saw.. each layer of cake was about 1/2 inch.. so in total we got about an Inch of cake and the rest was all Cream... I've gotten regular Italian cakes from them and they were good.. But this was crazy.. No one could eat it.. Did nothing but apologize to our guests

My favorite local bakery. Great value here. Been enjoying their cakes and pastries for decades. So glad they're still around and appear to be going strong.

The best bakery in the northeast Bronx, lobster tails are great, nice staff helpful. Also the Italian bread are the best. Cookie melt in your mouth, cannolis are good. You need pastry cakes or cookies it the place to go.

Best jelly donuts I have ever had ! The cookies are also good, fresher than many other Italian bakeries I have tried.

Thank you so much for making my daughters birthday beautiful Victoria's cake was outstanding

I was in NY and needed to purchase a cake so I came here. When I was trying to decide on what to get there were 2 customers who were RAVING about how delicious everything was and how much I was going to love it but I was not impressed with what I got. One lady told me they have been in business for 50 years & that she had been coming all her life. I enjoyed the cannoli, the cream was different from anything that I've had it reminded me a bit of a coconut cream which I really loved. The slice of cake tasted like a dry pound cake with less flavor than a usual buttery pound cake so I threw out more than half of it. I also purchased a vanilla cake with Bavarian cream filling which I would rate a 3.5/5. The cream was good but nothing to rave about. I wonder if the things I got weren't their popular items but they do have a large selection of cake & desserts for reasonable prices.

I love everything about this bakery from the cookies to the cannoli's to the cheesecake! The staff is very friendly and accommodating even on a busy holiday. I would definitely recommend going to Sal & Dom's!

The cupcakes are to die for!! I will order for every occasion I can think of and I am never let down, my friends, coworkers, staff at child's school all ask where did I get the cupcakes from. They are so light fluffy and most importantly they are moist and full of deliciousness. Whether it is the chocolate or the vanilla ones you will never go wrong, and they will decorate them with any color frosting. It's a win win for me.

Search no more for your favorite Italian style pastries because Sal and Doms will be your new favorite bakery. Delicious, homemade pastries, eclairs (all fillings fantastic), cookies, and New York style cheesecake will have you coming back again and again. My husband had a foodgasm when he tasted the big chocolate topped, flaky, whipped cream eclair--I had to snap him out of his tasty trance . This family owned business aims to please in service, quality and value. PS- Try the YUMMY lobster claw pastry too!!

While most people would think to flock to Arthur Ave when looking for an Italian bakery in the Bronx, you cannot rule Sal & Dom's out. My family, friends, and I have been customers of theirs for years - and in my opinion other bakeries don't hold a candle to their offerings. Like most Italian bakeries - Sal & Dom's offers the essentials: cannoli, lobster tails, sfogliatelle, and a large variety of cookies. Their American offerings shouldn't be overlooked - they have a lot of mini pastries, sweet breads, rolls, and traditional cakes as well. I love their sheet cakes - the sponge is so airy, and you can choose from a large variety of creams, custards, and fruit as filling. Usually I'll opt for whipped cream frosting because it makes the cake super light. Besides the cakes, you really can't go wrong with anything Sal & Dom's offers; they have some of the best cannoli and rainbow cookies I've ever had, and during the holidays they serve up a mean cuccidati. Is this the best Italian bakery in the Bronx? In NYC? I would put it to the test. Everything they bake is consistently good, so if you're in the market for some pastry be sure to stop by.

I've been coming here since I was 2 years old. They never let me down. The freshest cakes, icings, creams. They are really so unmatched in the bake game it's not a joke. I get my strawberry shortcake ordered and made for my birthday. I love it, I travel from way over in NJ to get it. They take custom orders for pick up. This has been a family owned bakery for as long as I can remember. My Daddy used to work close to here and knew the owners. I used to stop in as a kid and pick out some delicious treats before going home. This store makes me nostalgic and I'm so happy that it is still around.

I recently had my wedding cake made by them through my venue. The presentation was awful. The cake looked like it was put together at the last minute. It looked very sloppy. Although it tasted good, I was very dissapointed.

I ordered a birthday cake from them on a Wednesday for a Friday pick up, and it was ready on time and exactly what I'd ordered. The pick up was quick as well which was nice. I ordered a chocolate cake, and it tasted great. I'll definitely order from them again.

I have lived in the neighborhood for over 25 years and passed this place. I finally went in! Boy was I pleased with the pastries and service!! I can't believe how fresh they are. Their apple turnovers and jelly donuts are AMAZING!! They also make a delicious twisted pastry with coconut that I LOVE!! This place is a MUST if you live anywhere in or near The Bronx.

Very disappointed! I sent them an email with a picture of what I was looking for and they said they can do it. I could have made a better cake myself! I emailed them letting them know how dissatisfied I was. The response I received was even more disappointing. The only problem they could see and was apologetic for was the drip. I told them I'm bringing their cake back because I was too embarrassed to show up with this cake and wanted a refund and they said they could only offer me a 50% discount. I ordered a new cake with another bakery and now have to pay for another cake. Terrible customer service!! Went back to return the cake and to no surprise the baker who has no business decorating modern cakes responded by saying just because I thought I was cute by giving him a bad review on yelp, he would be retracting his original offer by not refunding me at all. Great customer service buddy! Will never go back and will never recommend your establishment. Thank you to Conti's Bakery for putting a beautiful cake together last minute to replace this ugly cake!

My family has been going here for 4 generations. We get every cake and pastry tray from this bakery. It is a Bronx treasure!!!! And super affordable!

If I were to go on a global dessert crawl, France would be right up there. As would the good old U.S. of A. And a whole slew of Asian countries; Japan, in particular. Italy, frankly, would be somewhere in the middle. After Germany and Austria, and right before South American countries like Brazil, Uruguay, and Columbia. All that being said, I'll concede I love a rainbow cookie, done right (read: moist and not cloyingly sweet). And glazed ricotta cookies are pretty darn delizioso. But if I had to choose one thing, I'd go with sfogliatella. I heart its flaky layers of almost croissant-like pastry and simple custard filling. The iteration I tried here reminded me of my favorite local ish sfogliatella from Dom's Bakery Grand in Hoboken, New Jersey. In other words, I really dug it, and was especially into the little bits of candied fruit in the custard filling. Admittedly, there could have been more of that filling, but lovely, overall. Tried a St. Joseph's Day ricotta cream-filled sfingi, too and that was quite nice, but if anything's gonna get me to schlep all the way back to the Bronx from BK, it's the sfogliatella.

I went to Sal and Dom's to order the cake for my husband's 60th. I explained what I wanted to Carlo and the cake was PERFECT. Besides being delicious, the decorations were exactly how I envisioned it. We got our wedding cake from them 5 years ago too and it was amazing. You will not be disappointed!

One of the best bakery in the Bronx. Pastries, cakes, cookies and pies indulging you to come back again and again. Everything is so good and I'm not sure where to start. Cookies are fresh baked and buttery. Pastries and cakes are truly delicious and not over sweet. They also offer specialty cakes for any occasion. Their prices are very reasonable. The ladies over the counters are friendly and their services are fast. I highly suggest the sweet potato pie, mini pastries and cookies.

Delicious assorted Italian cookies. The cookies are buttery, soft, fresh, and flavorful. There are so many choices, it is hard to pick what you want.

My thanks goes out to my fellow Yelp friend Jason M. I really wouldn't have known or considered this place if it weren't for him. Being established since 1956 it is clear to see that Sal & Dom's has stood the test of time. They are located smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It wasn't always this way, as other businesses that were in the surrounding area have now been replaced by homes. Upon entering on this early weekend morning, you walk into a bright and clean pastry shop with friendly and efficient workers. There is a long glass display with multiple varieties of cakes, pies, cookies, plus large and small Italian pastries. From the time I entered to the time I left, you could sense their popularity. The businesses phone was constantly ringing and customers were strolling in and out of this place. Very popular indeed. These perfectly arranged pastries, turned out to be a big hit for my friends barbecue. She had a ton of food but these cute mini creations that tasted just as good as their grander versions were a part of the talk of the evening. My Italian friends gave me props for bringing such authentic treats. ::wait a sec while I give myself a pat on the back:: So all these years I've come out to Allerton Ave. to see family and friends that live a mere few blocks away and I had no idea this place existed...ha, thanks for sharing peeps! But I ain't mad at 'cha! Because unbeknownst to Jason he pointed me in the right direction on copping these wonderful treats. Thank you Jason and thank you Sal & Dom's, my future go to when in need of Italian sweets.

I've been ordering cakes from this place for years. This place is always so busy and there is a good reason why. Their pastries are just that darn good! It's a bit small inside and parking can be horrendous. Sometimes the young girls that work there get a bit frazzled when it's busy, but otherwise they're very sweet and try their best. Millie, who I believe is the manager/owner, is always such a pleasure to work with. When I have an event that I need to order a cake for, she always takes care of me and never disappoints. I've attached a couple of pictures of cakes that they did for me recently. They're always such a hit with my guests and always so tasty!

I don't know what happened with the cake I ordered. I requested a traditional Italian cake with vanilla and chocolate custard. They asked if I wanted Strega - I said yes. The cake was beautifully decorated, I can't fault them on that. But it was inedible. My family has been getting birthday/special occasion cakes from Sal and Doms since they were at their old location on Allerton. From the 60s on. And I've never seen a cake come out this color. It was almost neon yellow and a lot of my guests said it tasted like lemon. No one ate it at my sons Baptism Party. Most of it was thrown out. And I was out almost 70 dollars. We kept the cake for a few more days in the fridge and attempted to eat a piece - and it FERMENTED. And tasted like vinegar. Very disappointed.

Sal and Dom's is a delicious pastry shop in a borough with a lot of competition. They have the usual Italian goodies - cannoli, butter cookies etc and some non-Italian items that are also good. We like to get one big cookies ($1.50) and cut it in half because it's way too big for us and we're trying to watch out figures. We've also ordered cakes, like carrot cake, our favorite. Try to place your order in advance if you can.

Excellent bakery. I really cannot say that enough, I needed a cake to replace one that I got from elsewhere that was terrible and they were so accommodating and the cake was just as good as it always is. They don't skimp here and the consistency is always perfect. The same thing you got ten years ago, twenty years ago is the same or better. I've taken on the habit of getting myself cakes from here just because as they're not only affordable but delicious. The girls behind the counter are always courteous, which I like as well. I've been going here since I was a kid, I don't plan for that to change anytime soon.

Pastry heaven! the cannolis the cookies cakes and more. Everything is made fresh and daily which is worth the trip. This week I'll placing my holiday order nice and early.

Someone bought me some pastries from here! They were amazing! I will be going to there establishment on my own to see what else they have to offer. Delish!!! Can't wait!

On a rainy weekday, I went to pick up an assorted box of mini pastries, and man, did I find the right place. It's got a sign in the window asking for one customer or family at a time, which folks were respecting. It's an old school bakery for cookies and pastries and cakes, not a ton of breads. I got about a pound of mixed pastries- eclair with Boston Creme filling, cannoli, pineapple mousse, strawberry mousse, Napoleon, mini cheesecake, pignoli tarts, and some rugelach. What surprised me was how fresh each item was. The cannoli shell cracked and crumbled as it was bitten. The cheesecake was creamy and not dried out and gummy. The mousse tasted fresh and light, the choux in the eclair and Napoleon was neither soggy or flat. And the rugelach would have delighted my grandmother. Across the board, carrying that many assorted items and all of them done well with high enough turnover not to go stale is astounding. I will definitely be back!

Great cakes, pastries and service. I have been going here for 40 years. Best bakery around.

Great pastries!! Love the cookies and cokes everything is always fresh. My nephew loves the rainbow cookies. So do I.

Top notch Italian pasty at a great price . We love the Linzer Tart cookies which I feel hands down are the best I ever had ! Man you can't go wrong with this joint !

Drove up from Bridgeport Ct to get some pastries.I ordered a lb of sfogiatelles and have a lb of almond biscotti.Been coming here for years.Great family bakery.Always a line out the door.Girls behind the counter are nice.Sfogiatelles are best when warm.Hidden gem on Allerton Ave.

The cake was perfect! It was delicious and everybody loved it. The cakes color and decoration came out perfectly the way I wanted it

Best Bakery in NYC!!! I ve been getting birthday cakes from Sal & Dom's for the past 5 years. They do it exactly the way you want it and do a fabulous job putting photos onto the cake for design. They also do an excellent job with all the rest of the decorations on the cake. You never have to ask because they have a natural ability to make the cake look beautiful!! The best part is that the cake, buttercream or whipped cream frostings, and the fruit fillings are all DELICIOUS!!! The staff in-person and on the phone are always really nice too. I highly recommend Sal & Dom's!!!

Both my and my husband's families have been going to Sal & Dom's for decades, so there was no question that we would go to them for our wedding desserts. People raved about the Italian cookies and pastries - everything was fresh and delicious, as always! We asked if they could do a giant cannoli stuffed with mini cannoli as our "wedding cake" and they did not disappoint. Literally a highlight of our wedding. Nothing but love for Sal & Dom's. Still some of the best cannoli in the Bronx. Thank you!

I'vE had a bunch of different things here, the minis are very good and my favorite is the pignoli tart, and pignoli cookies. My least favorite is the lobster tails, they are quite long, about 6 inches and amazingly filled ALL the way through with the cream of your choice, but the pastry isn't crispy it's hard and crusty! I've had lobster tails before elsewhere and the pastry was light and crispy which Is why I got them here but they aren't anything like the ones I had in little Italy :( I'll still be back for my minis.

Great place in the neighborhood !! Love they're cakes cookies , pasteries, they make the best lemon drop cookies ever!! Highly recommend this wonderful place !!

We put in an order for a two layer wedding cake a week in advance. On our wedding day, we came in at around 9:30AM to pick up the cake and we were caught off guard. There was a mix-up and our cake was never made. While we were freaking out, the owner stayed calm and tried to figure out a solution for us. 3 hours later we came back to pick up our cake just in time for the wedding. The owner came through for us and gave us Italian pastries and a large tray of deserts as a way of saying "sorry". I ordered a birthday cake from Sal & Dom's and LOVED it, so we had to go back for our wedding cake. This shop is one of the best Pastry Shops in NYC. Hands down!!! Even though there was a slight hiccup, they delivered on taste, on quality, price and look. After 2 visits, I'm sold and will be visiting again soon. Thank you Sal and Dom's for making our day special.

No change in my contentment. The goods are absolutely fresh. The cakes and pastries are a good size. Super affordable. The people that work there are respectful and courteous. Need to go back again.

I live in Florida for 11 years now having come from Western NY. A few years ago a friend brought me some of these as they lived in the Bronx before moving here. I was in love with the cookies. Now, they ship so I am addicted. Pricey, especially the shipping, but sooooo worth it. I will be a regular now.

I came out with a large sampler. I will write this review as I go through them all. Note that my review is mostly affected by the taste of sugar, so if you like sugar you can add a star here. Will repeat: - Creampuff. Outstanding flavor (although a bit too sweet) - Almond cookie with almond crumbles on it. - Small ricotta cake May repeat: - Small baba. Rum flavor felt faint. - Cassatina, flavorful but too sweet. - Sfogliatella, taste was ok, but little. Won't repeat: - The almond shell soft cookie and the green/white almond cookie sugar covered the almost taste. - The trecolori is something else (Thank you for clarifying Carlo). Nothing wrong with it then but not my flavor. - Fruit tart. I am a fan of tarts with intense creme flavor and this one did not have that. The texture inside was the crumbly puffy one of the whipped cream. But Carlo say it is not. Not sure what was then. - Small Éclair taste was too faint for me to appreciate, could not taste the chocolate at all. - The regular cannoli. Very sweet and some added flavor that did not agree with my taste.

I ALWAYS order my cakes here. They are just a few blocks walking distance from my house. Everything there is good from the Italian bread to the sweets. Definitely one to try!

Best bakery in the Bronx. It's not easy finding a good bakery place in the Bronx where the cake not only looks good the taste great. I was in desperate need and running short on time last to get a 30 person cake for my one year anniversary party. The cake I received from Sal and Doms was not only beautiful but perfect in flavor and sweetness. They not only took my order the last minute but made sure I got my cake right on time for my party. The cake I ordered was a pink ombré flower cake, one layer with vanilla sponge, inside raspberry and chocolate mousse layers topped with a soft, lightly sweetened butter cream frosting. The cake was big enough to feed more than 30 people and cost $87.dollars

Love love love this is my one and only favorite bakery! Goods are always fresh and tasty! Amazing tiramasu, chocolate mousse, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate eclairs, cannolis, custard Napolis, the danolies the cakes oh boy!!! It should be named Sal n Doms heavenly pasteries!!!

I used to come here until I received a stale cake for my mom's 86th birthday! I'll never go back they again! Staff aren't friendly, they act like you're bothering them especially the young girls there.

I love everything there! I really mean it: from cookies to pies, from cakes to coffee. The owner is supper and chief is pro! I go there very often, trust me. I stop even cooking sweets myself, which is amazing for me. If it us holiday, please preorder or come early, to escape 70 customers line ;) It's worth every penny! Thank you

Awesome cookies and pastries, been coming here for years! This place never disappoints ya. The holiday pies are great, you have to try the sweet potato pie
