Went in search of carrot cake for National Carrot Cake Day. They had 3 options! Extremely nice folks working there. Patiently answered all my carrot cake related questions
Ended up with carrot cake, crumb cake AND cheesecake crumb! All delicious.

It’s one of those days that I’m happy to be Italian — I’m pretty sure that when we die and meet St. Peter at heaven’s gate, before any questions are asked, they first hand you a Del Ponte cannoli.

I stopped in this nice little bakery after a long beach day to pick up an apple crumb pie.
This place has a great assortment of cakes, pies, pastries, breads, and cookies. The store is clean, well organized, and reasonably priced. My pie was only $15, and it was large, heavy, and tasted delicious. The staff is fast and helpful as well.
This place is definitely worth checking out while visiting the BB area. I have to make sure to get one of the cheesecakes the next time I visit as per recommendation from one of the locals. Plus, I want to try some of cookies by the pound.

What I asked for versus what I received. The pictures say it all. I called weeks ahead of time and sent photos to the head baker or owner who agreed that they would have no problem reproducing the cake in the first photo. Either this person is completely unaware of their mediocre skill set or just has no idea how to use fondant or advanced baking techniques. I was alright with a buttercream base but expected a clean finish. Clearly, it was a total mess and full of air pockets. The colored dots looked sloppy, cracked, and smashed in with fingerprints and terrible indents in the center. I also did not agree to the horrible icing and piping job for the number and name sign that were supposed to be in fondant for a crisp finish. I confirmed multiple times over the phone that the number and name sign should be done in fondant. I would also think that they would put a little effort into the colored dots being different sizes to add character like the first picture instead of a sloppy same size cutout for each one. When I arrived just before the birthday party they expected to charge me $130 for that monstrosity. After relaying my disappointment the owner did not even have the courtesy to come out and discuss the issues but used the counter cashier as an intermediary. After several broken communication attempts back and forth, he then offered 10 dollars off and to redo the letters in 15 minutes. Why were they not done correctly in the first place if he could supposedly fix them in fondant in 15 minutes!? Why would I agree to a rush job right before my son’s birthday party only to have the cake potentially look even worse!? This place just wanted to make a quick buck at the expense of a child’s birthday cake that was supposed to offer a nice picture with good memories. Had they been honest about their baking ability, or informed me the cake would look very different, then I would have gone elsewhere! I trusted the reputation and reviews but was sorely mistaken. Not only was the cake abysmal esthetically, the flavor was terrible and the cake itself was dry and disgusting. Avoid this bakery for custom cakes at all costs. They deserve a zero out of five.

With only a days notice and little direction, Del Ponte’s not only made the best cake- both beautiful and delicious! Be sure to go to them for any cakes and sweets you might need for a party!

Talk about sweet tooth….. this place will have you off your diet in no time. There are so many varieties, so many options, and you feel like you want to try them all. We bought so many different cakes…. Lemon coconut, red velvet, cheese cake, carrot cake, blueberry, just to name a few. All were finished in no time. Their chocolate cupcake was really good, even better than my lemon coconut. The service was fast. A lady came from behind the counter and assisted us with our decisions. Very nice. Would definitely return.

Everything was delicious. Been going there for years. But haven’t visited for a while. Nothing has changed since my last time. Going in there just makes you smile with all the freshly baked options! We got way to much but it was worth it ❤

I ordered a wedding cake for my son’s wedding from DelPonte’s because everything else they make is so incredible. The wedding was great but the cake was out of this world. It was all people could talk about. We had alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with lots of maple flavored icing between the layers and white butter cream frosting (the bride wanted a sheet cake). It was moist, the flavors blended and the proportion of frosting was fantastic. Everyone kept asking where it came from. People told me they normally didn’t eat cake at weddings but tried it and loved it. Definitely a total hit and a great way to end the party. Thank-you DelPonte’s!

This bakery is a must to go to if you are in the Bradley Beach area. Although the shop is small, the selection is huge! It was actually hard to choose things but we did get: Italian bread, lobster tail, turnover, tiramisu, Boston cream pie, chocolate mousse pie, and a few other things. Peanut butter bar my son got was actually really good. And the lobster tail was very flaky. The problem with having this much food though is not everything is freshly made every day and it was very obvious with some of the items we got. The flavor was good but I would have preferred something that was baked fresh that morning. But I still recommend and would go to again.
