Just WOW, went in to get a special cake, while they were decorating it I browsed, myst have gaibed 10 pounds just visiting lol. Was my first visit, the cake was Chocolate scrumptuously delicious, the cookies to die for, the lasagna was excellent, gorgonzola cheese just like what I tasted when I went to Italy last year. Worth every penny I spent, a grwat place to go if you fancy Italian food.

It really is as good as it gets for the Windsor-Detroit area ! Since 1974, a Windsor landmark… Panettone… you see it all over around the holidays in Detroit and Windsor, but it is always imported and comes in the tall box… no one is attempting to make it homemade; however, Italia Bakery does make it homemade and it takes 40 hours to make panettone ! The imported panettone has too many additives to increase shelf life, but at Italia Bakery, their panettone is all natural and simply righteous. They only make it around the holidays and it is something to plan on each year. The bread that they make is incredible… some of the best. Their best-seller is their bread in fact. The bakery works 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, to produce the bread that’s not only sold in their shop, and in local and county stores and Italian halls, but is also distributed throughout Michigan. Another feature at Italia Bakery is their ‘hot table’ – a buffet of fresh, hot, and ready-to-eat Italian entrees, that’s available throughout the day. People from all over town visit the bakery to choose from Italian-style lasagna, chicken, potatoes, mini pizzas, vegetables, rice balls and gnocchi for their lunch, or to bring home for dinner. They also have my Sfogliatelle !!

There bread is to die for! Seriously I dream about it, once you have had it no other bread even compares. The staff is supper friendly and personable. If you like desert they also have an amazing selection. Do your self a favor and check this place out.

Italia Bakery has a very nice assortment of breads, pastries, rolls and even a tasty hot lunch take-out section. A nice atmosphere of Canada and Europe combined. Only downside is that they only carry two bread types in whole wheat. Only reason why I’m not giving it five stars. Not sure if it’s the lack of demand or if the mostly Italian crowd there just isn’t into whole wheat breads. Almost forgot to mention it’s a cash only shop.

I’ve been going to the Italia Bakery since I was little! My family loves it. We always get rum cakes from there for birthday parties. The pastries and hot lunches are so good and inexpensive! Oh and the bread… Yum! Very fresh. Italia Bakery has a lot of selection and a friendly staff. Highly recommended!

For the old country traditionalists out there, this is your bakery. Everything is good — their bread is mouth-watering crazy good. They have delicious pastries too, and the only thing that makes me sad is that I do not live closer to this bakery — otherwise I would go everyday. My dad is from Malta — so when we visited there, the hardest thing to leave was the yummy bread. Italia Bakery is an excellent substitute for the bakeries that your parents/grandparents rave about when talking about the old country. For the Windsor locals, if you have never been to this bakery — go now! For Detroiters, you can find their bread(though not as fresh) at Alcamos in Dearborn — but if you can make it over to Windsor — do that instead! For some reason(likely the freshness), it is so much better.
