I usually go to the Troy location, only been here a few times. The Latham location has a wider variety of donuts, probably all pastries in general, compared to Troy. The donuts are about the same, but here they have Blueberry cake and also tried the PBnJ donut. Wish the Troy location at least had the Blueberry, but the PBnJ was also good. There was also a Cannoli Donut, which was pretty good, was a normal donut cut in half and filled with cannoli filling and bits of a the shell on top of a whipped cream topping. The apple fritter was pretty good, just could be way better it had more apples all throughout it and not just on top. The fudge fancy cookie here is good, but something is different about it compared to the Troy location.

I brought my car to the Toyota dealership for maintenance, and while searching for a nearby bakery on the map, this place popped up. So I decided to walk here. It was only about a 5–6 minute walk, and it was absolutely worth it. Even though it was my first time here, I can already say this will become one of my go to spots.
I ordered an espresso, and it was absolutely amazing! Truly the best espresso I’ve had in a long time. The aroma, richness, and smoothness were exactly how I like it. Combined with their warm and friendly service, the whole experience was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back not just for the espresso, but to try their other food as well. Highly recommended!

Everything about this place is amazing! From biscotti, to Italian cookies, to pepper sandwich and macaroni salad just name a few. Breads are clearly old Italian homemade and delicious. Whenever I’m in the area I’ll stop here.

Our first purchase from Bella Napoli was a birthday cake (Chocolate cake), Since I don’t like desserts that are overly sweet,so except white cream, i really enjoyed the chocolate ganache they used in the cake.
Later on, we tried their mini éclairs, chocolate rollino, and chocolate pastry. The items were so delicious, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced, liked them a lot. Although the shop is always busy, the staff are very hardworking and friendly.

Found this place by chance. Great bakery with a nice selection of cookies, cakes and breads. Favorite was the butter buns. Good service and well priced. Great espresso as well.

Bella-Napoli Italian Bakery is a true gem! Their bakery goods are absolutely top-notch—everything from the cookies to the cannoli is fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. But what truly blew me away were the Italian subs. Hands down, the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. The bread is perfectly baked, the ingredients are high quality, and every bite is packed with flavor. You can taste the pride and tradition in everything they make. 5 stars all the way—this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves real Italian food done right.

I went in to quickly check out this place and grab some pastries to go. The selection was incredible. I got five different flavors of mini cannolis. They were all delicious. I’m looking forward to going back with my wife and showing her the selection of delicious-looking pastries. They also have a cafe where you can order hot food but I did not get a chance to peruse the menu as I was in a hurry. Next time!

I visit my mother who lives in Albany, was there this past weekend and went to Bella Napoli bakery.
If you find yourself near this place stopping in is a must. I live in North Carolina and I’d need to drive at least 300 miles to find a bakery half as good as Bella Napoli.
Outstanding product and even more so the service is top shelf.
Didn’t care about the cost because whatever they charge it’s well worth it.

Going there during the holidays is a trip – especially Christmas Eve morning. Lots of people and you just have to try and be calm and patient. It’s set up well, you get a number and it moves fast. You get your own person who didn’t rush us, offered advice, and just was super calm and patient. We managed to overspend and it was worth it because everything we got was delicious. Back in the day there was a lot of cookie making happening at home and now this is our sweet source!
