Corropolese Italian Bakery — Restaurant in Lower Providence Township

Like most bakeries there are hits and misses. so, based on what I have actually eaten from this shop, from excellent to average...

Excellent: Tomato Pie: Best in the world provided you like a sweet sauce, which I do.

Tea Cakes/Biscuits. I can't remember what they are called, cakes or biscuits, but these are better than the equivalent from all other bakeries I have tried. I toast them and eat with some jam and butter.

The customer service if great. It is not a food item, but it is something that is most important to me in the last few years. Corropolese has many young people there who show a great attitude and work hard.

Real Good: The Baklava, surprisingly, is well done. And from an Italian bakery, not a Greek one. It seems difficult to get baklava right for many bakeries. This is moist and full of flavor.

The Sfogliatelle. These are heavy and dense. Give them a try for sure.

The Scones are tasty. They are the American type, triangular and maybe more dense than the British style. I usually prefer the round types, but I enjoyed the different flavors they offer.

Average:

Honestly, the cakes and pies were only average here. Nothing horrible, but not memorable. They are lower in price than many other places, so I can't say you are getting ripped off in any way.

With reasonable prices and a friendly staff I intend to keep coming back, for my favorite items and to try new ones. 5 stars despite some...

I’m always on the lookout for a good Italian Bakery, and I’m glad to have found one so close to home. I found Corropolese a few months ago and I’ve been back several times since. I know a lot of people know this place (and their other locations) for their tomato pies, but don’t forget about the pastries and other desserts. There’s a whole display counter of just cookies. Then there’s multiple displays of donuts, buns, fritters, cannoli, eclairs, creme puffs, sfogliatelles, pies, cakes, etc., and that’s only one side of the bakery. There’s also other specialties like baklava and cannoli chip dip too. They sell rainbow cookies, pizzelle, and boxed panettone as well. They make a maple bacon donut that is an absolute necessity to purchase every time I’m there. Last time I was there, there was a caramel apple walnut pie that was just calling my name, so I’m excited to go back next week and pick one up for Thanksgiving. Everything here is well made, not overly sweet, just perfectly delicious. Do yourself a favor and go pick up a box or two of your favorite...

Pros Big selection one of the bigger selections for a bakery I have been too Everything was reasonably priced A few items bakery don't typically have like large strudel. They even have someone that makes homemade donuts several days a week Decent selection of breads, Stromboli and even pizza The pumpkin cheesecake we got was really good The brownie we got was OK but it had marshmallow on top which made it good but super sweet Pumpkin strudel was really good They had sfogliatelle which is hard to find in my area and was good

Cons None really

It would be nice to see a few more Italian items but I understand it can be difficult to sell and even find some ingredients. They have a big variety something for pretty much everyone. They used marshmallow creme which doesn't have Gallatin and is OK for vegetarian, which was great.

Overall, I would definitely go back...
