F. Monteleone Bakery

My first experience with Monteleone was amazing! I heard they had the best rainbow cookies in Brooklyn, so I had to give it a try. And it totally deserves the rep! I also got the Tiramisu, two chocolate cannolis, and a mini cake with Nutella mousse. Absolutely delicious compared to my usual neighborhood bakery. You can taste the freshness, and the desserts are not overly sweet. Definitely coming back!

I love this truly authentic Italian pasticcheria and bakery. The selection of dolci is fantastic, as are their cookies, and varieties of marzipan fruits. I’ve never seen such a display of beautifully shaped marzipan in any pastry shop in my many decades in NYC. The cannolis are outstanding. I also tried the sesame cookies which are wonderful. Really such a delight to shop at this pasticcheria. I will return often.

The thing I loved when I entered this bakery was how it genuinely felt like an authentic Italian bakery. When I came in there was amazing aroma of all the baked goods. The smell of all those Italian cookies was amazing. When I saw everything in the display cases it was all beautifully presented. Everything looked amazing. Once again I always get overwhelmed when I see all the amazing baked treats that I don’t know what to get because I want everything. Lol! For my first visit I bought some fig and chocolate cookies. They were delicious! The staff were very nice to me. Overall this is a beautiful Italian bakery in a wonderful neighborhood. I would definitely come back again to try out more delicious baked treats.

Last week a friend bought a cheesecake from this bakery and it was amazing! It was very tasty and fresh. It was so good that I decided to go for the trip because I really think it is worth it. I drove all the way from YONKERS to BK! Before heading out I checked the hours they were open on Google and it said they were open. Once I get there turns out the bakery was closed. I think it is EXTREMELY important to update your hours. I drove for 3 hours and it all could have been prevented if your hours were correctly updated.

I love this bakery so much! Not only because I’m italian but also because their cakes are unbelievable. Not your regular sugar and flour cake that you get everywhere else. These are works of art inside and out. I ordered the Ferrero Rocher cake for my bday and this is the second time i do that. I highly recommend this place ❤️
