Catania Bakery

I ordered a sandwich here it was tasty chicken club. I paid the price of food poisoning for it. I will never go there again. I vomited all night and had many body aches.

i remeber this place before they made sandwiches, been here for years always reasonable and delicious

I lived near this bakery for two years and I must say — it was the best bakery to have as a neighbor. At night you can smell in the streets the bakers working at night to make the fresh pastries for the following day. When I had a bad day — there was nothing the napoleon couldn’t do to cheer me up. Its definitely worth coming here if you’re around the neighborhood.

Loaded up on pastries here, including the cream filled donut which was much denser than it appeared. Everything was good and the cashier was very simpatico. Bueno.

I go here just about every morning for a hot or iced latte. It’s always good, the service is good and they always remember how I like my coffee. They also have great sandwiches, pastry and bread.

I don’t understand why this place got any good reviews, maybe many people haven’t gone to a real bakery yet. I found this place on my way home from work and I was really in the mood for a cappuccino and some pastries. I been to many great spots in Queens and when I saw this big nice looking bakery I thought it was going to be good. Man… Was I wrong. This had to be the worse capp I EVER drank, tasted like warm milk with a tiny dash of coffee. And as disappointed as I was I had high hopes for the pastries… In a word horrible. I bought several different pastries and each was worse. This was the first and very last time I come here. But please don’t go cause my review. Try it for yourself then go to Rudys on seneca Ave or circos on knickerbocker Ave and decide for yourself. A complete waste of money. You been warned.

The price they charge for the food quality here is not worth it at all. Most everything is overpriced and it’s not even that edible or fresh. Also, the people that work over the counter seemed not very friendly and not as happily to serve you.

I love bread, and I can’t imagine my lunch without having at least some of it. So it is really important for me that the bread has a good quality and is tasty.
At this place, they got solid variety of really good bread. It is very tasty, and it is always freshly baked.
They also got plenty of delicious things for the desert. I love to have their croissants with a cup of coffee in the mornings.
It is a very decent bakery, and I am pretty confident in giving them 5 stars.

This is my number one stop after I leave home for work every morning. My coworkers are hook with the bread varieties of bread selection, which mean I have to go and get some. It doesn’t matter what you decided to try out at Catania you just can’t go wrong. Everything taste delicious and yummy. If I ever move out I’m definitely packing Catania in my suit case

So happy to have this place in my neighborhood. They recently expanded their deli and the sandwiches are amazing and inexpensive. I’m looking forward to trying breakfast sandwiches when they have them. Yum yum yahoo.

Friendly people with a wide variety of tasty treats! I definitely recommend the chocolate filled croissant it’s a piece of heaven for all you pastry lovers!

Just go. Among the overwhelming selection look for the almond biscotti which has that mysterious quality of being dry but chewy at the same time. The nutty flavor and chewy texture made me ashamed to have ever liked any other biscotti. They also measure it by the pound, not the piece. That’s how darn good it is! I’m seriously considering packing a suitcase with biscotti from Catania to bring home to friends and family in California.
We have stayed a week in Bushwick and are eating our way through the menu at Catania. From chicken salads to subs, to cookies and biscotti this place is just amazing. Friendly and neighborly — you will meet NYC firefighters from the station around the corner hanging out here (an added bonus) and retired locals hanging out for the day.

There are very few bakeries around the Ridgewood/​Bushwick area where I can expect delicious cakes and pastries, fast service, and friendly, personable staff to help me out with my orders. Catania Bakery has a great selection of various breads, pastries, cakes, coffees, and deli sandwiches. They also sell healthy fruit bowls, parfaits, and other goodies. I can always depend on Catania Bakery to provide beautiful, richly flavored cakes whenever my family wants a special way to celebrate their birthday or a successful milestone in their life. Also, the new renovations lend the place a new and inviting atmosphere, and I wouldn’t mind stopping by again during one of my walks just to get an iced coffee and a dessert.

the place is much nicer than the clerks. Although that’s the only con the owner must consider that to have a perfect experience

Catania just finished renovations (including outdoor tables with umbrellas for shade!) and it looks lovely but that’s not why I’m reviewing. Yes, their whole wheat croissants are cheap, fresh and delicious. Yes, their cakes make for impressive dessert for the in-​laws and yes, it’s a better outdoor breakfast spot than Cypress Inn but I am reviewing to tell you about the most insane desserts I have ever eaten–
It’s a sugared doughnut with… Get ready… CANNOLI CREAM FILLING. Oh my goodness, I have dreams about this pastry! It hasn’t been available for a few weeks but I peak in the window whenever I walk by.
Affordable.
Handicap accessible.
Friendly counter-​staff.
Neighborhood gem :-)

Just tried the strawberry cheesecake omggggg me & my wife are looking forward to trying the other goods they have !!

What a wonderful Italian bakery. The smells alone will make you go wild. Came in this morning with the Princess on our way to the L train and we got this creation that was bread style cake, covered in granulated sugar and filled with Canolli cream. Sweet but not cloying with the right amount of give. A filling and delicious breakfast treat. Everything else looked great and those cherry danishes are next on my hit list.

This Bakery is amazing. I moved from Ridgewood yrs ago and I still come here. The bread, rolls, bagels and cakes are delicious. They also have very good inexpensive coffee. They do not have cream cheese for bagels but there butter is superb. Prices are reasonable. Cookies are delicious as are the cannolis.

This is a daily stop for my husband and I. He loves their breads, because most of them are semolina flour based, and he likes the flavor more. They do offer a slicing service for loafs, we usually decline so I do not know if there is a fee. It is always nice to have their fresh breads and croissants around the house. They also have delicious desserts. I am still waiting to try their cheesecake. You can smell sweet cookies as soon as you walk around the block, it drives the kids in the neighborhood crazy.
Their bagels look huge, but they do not toast them or have cream cheese for them. So whatever you buy at Catania, you will need to prep yourself at home.
I had their iced coffee and liked that too, but it was a bit pricey and their was sugar grit in the bottom of the cup. They do not have lids for their cups and are cash only.

My favorite place to go for desserts that impress my guests. To avoid becoming the size of a small house, I only allow myself to walk into the bakery when company is coming over.
The bakers here offer a dozen or so breads, perhaps twenty or so cookies, cakes – including cheesecake that is (almost) as good as my own! Their best offering, in my opinion, is the mini-​pastries. These include tiramisu, a variety of chocolate mousse creations, Neapolitans, and tarts, among others. Priced by the pound, these average about 1.50 each. I usually get a half dozen, slice them into bite-​sized servings, and plate them up for the perfect end to a home-​cooked meal for friends.
Hit the ATM before you stop by. They don’t take credit cards, and you will be tempted to spend beyond the change in your pocket.
