Former employee of La Salle bakery. I had once put a review explaining this and he called me to apologize to get me to take it down and I did. However, his apology still doesn’t deserve my silence.

Read moreOk size bakery. Service is meh. Doesn't even give off the bakery smell. The cookies taste like they're 5 days past their toss out day. Butter cookies just turn into a million crumbs and I had 3 different types. Tasteless and nutrigrain bar like crumbs. The only good Italian bakeries I find in the bronx are near little Italy and omgggg any and everything at Barinos on Ampere Ave (and their a deli). Brooklyn has THE BEST ITALIAN BAKERIES Black and white cookie was tasteless. My uncle was so anxious to go there and we were both...
