Fragapane Bakeries

Just walk in and the smell will instantly make your mouth water. Great deli counter and of course you have to walk past the bakery to get to the checkout. Not a big place but if you are hungry for guilty pleasure food, they will satisfy that hunger.

Delicious baked goods and deli sandwiches! I try to just get what I go in there for but I always walk out with more… I included their take out menu since it’s not posted anywhere!

Everything is just okay as far as desserts and pizzas go. Their paczki are the bomb, especially the ones filled with chocolate cream.

Love this place… always always always get our birthday cakes there. Always fresh and always delicious. Their Italian wedding cakes can’t be beat. We also buy the donuts once in a while for a treat and they are the best I’ve ever had

local gem

As always they delivered fabulous cookies! I had gone to another bakery near where I was at in Berea, the experience was horrible and I left and drove straight here knowing they’d have what I needed. My cookies were a hit in my cookie exchange and even had people asking where I got them so they could get them for parties they were having!

Walked in here randomly with a huge chocolate craving. Ended up getting a huge chocolate cupcake anx a chocolate éclair. Everything was delicious and very decently priced. I spent less than 3 bucks. Staff was nice. Service was quick.

This place has awesome sandwiches. I got the classic but switched the ham out for corned beef instead. UUUHHHHMAZING. Lots of meat and veggies and tons of food for 5.99. It was awesome. They also had a lot of baked goods and assorted side dishes as well as lots of pasta and sauce like you get at a grocery store but more authentic italian brands. Definitely worth the trip.

Fantastic donuts. Great sandwiches. Different special daily. Friendly staff.
There is a small seating area, but basically takeout.

Have been here a few times, hoping the service & pizza would be better each time but no luck. The lady in the deli is downright rude. The pizza is too salty and the crust is stale (all three times-​not on just one occasion). I got a frosted sugar cookie and threw it out after one bite because the cookie tasted like a piece of cardboard. Maybe their other items are better, but based on my past three experiences I won’t be returning to find out.

Always a great experience and best donuts in Cleveland, Hands down! I go there for all my bakery needs and I always NEED donuts on Sunday when I can! Hopefully the service and quality stays the same because I’m happy whenever I go there!

I found this on Unilocal and sort of randomly stopped by. I love the small grocery section — great way to pick up a few ingredients for certain kinds of food. They have micro brewed soda and chips I have never tried — plentiful to buy!
Their deli and bakery counters are the main attractions — and for good reason. I found at least half a dozen bakery items I wanted to try. It was all I could do to get out of there with just 2 this time.
And they have lots of different sandwiches and other food items — including a pepperoni roll that looks phenomenal. They also have fresh bread that you can have sliced. In other words, this is where you want to be when a blizzard threatens to keep you indoors for a while.
Overall, I can easily see why this place has been in business for so long. They have delicious food that you can’t easily find elsewhere and not crazy expensive. My only wish is that they had a real seating area so that I could have lunch and a dessert right there.

Great deli. They carry boars head meats and cheese which in my opinion are the best. Try the fragabomb, see if you can finish it!

I have been coming to Fragapane’s Bakery since I was a kid some 20 years ago. What I can tell you is that this place is a gem. Nothing beats the chocolate or maple sticks. No one makes them quite like they do.
We once moved out of Cleveland to Southern California and I asked my now wife to bring Fragapane’s out with her and was dead serious. No one gets it. No one makes the vanilla filling like Fragapane’s does. Everywhere else it is custard, fruit filling, chocolate mush — no one can make it like Fragapane’s. I can’t wait to take my kids here some day and have them make similar memories to what I have going after church with my father. Prices are incredible. Staff is great. Shop local. Eat like a king.

This place was super legit. Their staff was hella nice. I ordered a turkey sandwich and it was 5.49, and it was loaded with meat and all the fixing. The girls that work there are hot too and coo, I would try the potato salad, i’ve never had anything like it before. Will go back any time im in the area. So legit. Gotta try it one, i bet you back for more. Truly a classic italian deli.

Love this place! The best deli and bakery on the Westside. Their sandwiches are amazing, their salads delicious and their bakery to die for!

Great neighborhood bakery!
Their prices were amazing to start off with. I left there with fresh Italian bread, 6 cannolis, a cupcake, Cake, and a few custard puffs for under $ 30. Awesome.
Anyway the facility itself is okay sort of located in an older strip mall but it’s clean inside that’s all that counts. The store itself is a little dated but that’s okay because you’re here for the food not the décor.
They also serve high-​quality lunch meats from boars head. That is one of the best lunch meat brands you can get. With homemade and imported pastas on the shelves is a great place for any sort of European-​style meal.
All in all a great place so make sure to add them to your grocery shopping!

I am so glad I found this bakery!
Well, I shouldn’t lie and say I «found» it myself. I received a Unilocal recommendation a couple of years ago from the great Simon I, but never visited until just recently. Conveniently, Fragapane is located just about 5 minutes from where I work, so I stopped by during my break to check it out.
The SMELLS. First of all. The SMELLS! You can bottle that and sell it. Think bread bakery mixed with sinfully sweet buttercream. Hell yeah.
I tried to take it all in – the fresh pizza dough, the homemade pasta, and the deli area, but all I could really do was walk straight over to the bakery area. After much debate (and eye candy — cream puffs the size of a baby’s head!), I decided to get a cannoli, a square of white cake with chocolate buttercream, and a few rainbow cookies — the latter being the gauge by which I judge all Italian bakeries.
My husband got the cannoli, and he said it was amazing because the marscapone wasn’t too intensely flavored. He said there’s usually something a little too overpowering thrown into the filling, such as cinnamon, or orange, or whatever. But this filling perfectly complemented the shell, which was flaky, not crispy.
The cake. Ok, I have this thing about cake. I lean more toward the Giant Eagle sugary cake than, say, a chocolate mousse cake or a torte. This cake was the BOMB. It had a wonderfully moist texture, and the icing was the kind I dream about. It was incredibly fresh, and sweet without reaching the «my teeth hurt» level of sugar. It was perfectly balanced, and for me, there was just the right amount of frosting (although others might think there was too much). Amazing.
Now, the rainbow cookies were something to behold. Six layers. SIX! So delicate, and thin. The chocolate on top was more of a frosting than a fudge. I can’t explain how awesome these cookies are. I have an Italian aunt who sends me her rainbow cookies each year, and these beat those (sorry, Auntie).
I’ll bet their sandwiches, breads, pastas, etc. are all great too. I cannot wait to go back!

Fragapane’s is always great! Great pricing on meat and sandwiches.
I am a big fan of chicken salad sandwich or tuna salad sandwich. Family owned business, everyone very friendly and attentive at the counter where you order.
Donuts and baked goods are amazing! I usually have to leave with 1 donut.

Every time I visit my mother in Cleveland I visit this bakery. It is a good, sturdy, traditional bakery that I confess my addiction. The buttercream frosting (which is a main yardstick of measure for me when it comes to bakeries), is excellent. Mind you, it isn’t real buttercream, they use shortening, but it’s a great frosting. Their cakes and pastries are great.
Their pizza is respectable, with a healthy distribution of cheese and toppings. Their cookies, again, shortening instead of butter, are great. This isn’t Olivier’s Le Bonne Bouchée, but it’s a good sturdy bakery.
