So many options of high quality pastries and desserts! The red velvet cake is the best I’ve ever had. I was so impressed. I bought about 8 different items just so I can try more than one and will be back to buy about 20 more because there were so many different things that made my mouth water. Paul has done an amazing job making it from scratch and the flavor and presentation are proof that he is a master at his craft. The staff were friendly and very helpful, also patient with me as I had difficulty choosing only a few things for the day.

I absolutely love Villani’s Bakery! I’ve been going there for a while now, and their pastries never disappoint. The key lime pie and lobster tails are amazing, and the red velvet cake is my absolute favorite. Villani’s is my go-to place for pastries, and I always choose them and recommend them to my friends and family. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better!

The variety of items that they have for sale is amazing! Everything we bought tasted so fresh and so good that we went back the next day and got more to take back home to Florida! The coffee was really good too, and not overly sweet so it balanced out everything. The staff were so nice and patient in explaining what everything was that we asked about it. Even though there was a line behind us, we were made to feel like we were the only ones in the store. The outside seating is really cute too. We can’t wait to go back!

Nice bakery with plenty to choose from . I got the Pecan Maple cheesecake, Everything Bialys, Bacon Cheese Biscuit and some other things. Everything was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have no complaints.

Hunted everywhere and found this is the only place in charlotte that sells sfogliatelle and lobster tails. They are made to perfection. I do try the tiramisu too but it was not too good, they had coconut shavings in it. The affogato was, however, REALLY good

Villani’s Bakery is a sweet slice of heaven in Charlotte. Their pastries are next-level, especially the lobster tail, tiramisu, and Italian cream cake. The croissants are flaky perfection, and the macaroons? Little bites of joy. You’ll find everything from funfetti cheesecake to pineapple upside-down cake, all made with care and flair.
The staff are warm and welcoming, and the outdoor seating adds a cozy touch to your pastry pilgrimage. Whether you’re popping in for a quick treat or indulging in a full dessert tasting, Villani’s delivers flavor, charm, and a five-star experience.

I visited this bakery on Sunday evening. We stopped by to try some desserts, and the selection was simply enormous. There were so many options that I didn’t know what to choose!
Unfortunately, the pastries we selected were old, dry, and tasteless. This was quite disappointing, and I can’t recommend buying desserts here to anyone.

This is a tricky one. I’ll start by saying the staff are friendly and welcoming. The space itself is smaller but enough for a grab and go.
But of course we’re here for the backed goods. If I would have came and grabbed cake and left, absolutely 5 star. The carrot cake was moist and utterly delicious. Not super sweet and worth the visit.
But then there’s the bacon cheddar biscuit and the cookie. While I think the biscuit has potential and I appreciate them warming it up it fell flat. You should think the bacon would add a good amount of salt but it doesn’t. This biscuit absolutely needs some salted butter or something to wake it up. With out added salt it’s very meh and not something I’d order again.
Next is the oatmeal raisin cookie. While visually it looks like a great cookie it’s extremely crunchy and not a chewy cookie at all. It reminds me of those iced oatmeal cookies that come in the pack at Walmart/dollar store with the 4 rows. The ones we ate as kids. So maybe they are going for nostalgia with these but it’s not a cookie of order again being so crunchy.
Hang came and just got the cake ? 5 stars! And the cake even carried this review to 3 stars because 2 ehh products out of 3 would have easily been 2 star review. The cake is delicious but proceed with caution else where. The deliciousness didn’t translate through out all products.

Sam at Villani’s is the best. There was a small hiccup with our order, but the customer service we received was truly exceptional. The situation was handled quickly, professionally, and with so much kindness. Issues can happen with any business but the way a business responds says everything—and they went above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great baked goods and even better service! We will always come here for treats, whether it’s a couple of pastries or a delectable cake/pie for birthdays. Everything is absolutely divine and beautifully made.

Starting with the positive, the customer service was exceptional. My husband loved his chocolate croissant once we warmed it up. Beyond that, I don’t know how these reviews are so good. I’m Sicilian from the northeast and was so excited to try this place but it was not good. The sfogiatelle and lobster tail were SO HARD on the outside you could’ve cut a box open with them. Like thick and hard layers. Not flaky. The cream inside the cream puff and lobster tail were good and not too sweet. The cream puff pastry also seemed stale and the chocolate was too thin and had no flavor. The strawberry croissant tasted more like vanilla than strawberry but the actual croissant part was good. I didn’t even try the rainbow cookies because they were huge and looked so dry. Such a disappointment.
