Everyone was very friendly, professional, patient and nice. The selection was very nice and the staff explained everything about which was which. They were also pretty fast too in getting my selection. The desserts were perfect for the bday celebration I was having with a coworker. Looked very pretty and tasted very rich. Would 100% come back. I didn’t think I could get NY desserts in Tampa but I found my new spot!

We recently got married and had to place an order for a wedding cake from out of state, sight unseen, no taste testing etc. Ì emailed a few pictures of what ideas I had in mind and they sent me a sketch to approve. Had no idea how it would look in person or taste until the day of the wedding, so very nervous. IT WAS GORGEOUS! We did 3 flavors and everyone loved it! Alessi did an amazing job, highly recommend!

We grabbed a Cuban sandwichat the State Fair today.
Not the worst I’ve ever had—but that bread was so dry it tried to lodge itself in my esophagus like it was paying rent .
That said, the mustard-to-mayo ratio was chef’s kiss .
Overall? Edible, decent balance of flavors, but definitely not a new favorite ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (and a drink is mandatory ).

What a great bakery and café! We had a Cuban sandwich and a breakfast sandwich. We also took home some cookies, bread, and pastries. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, sweets and cakes.
Update: We went back and tried more things! The turkey club is outstanding! And do yourself a favor and try out the Yoyo cookies. They are ridiculously delicious.

Alessi Bakery is hands down one of the best spots in Tampa. The hot sandwiches are unreal — fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It’s not just a bakery either, it’s a full-on café with every dessert, pastry, and cookie you can think of. The staff has that true family vibe — friendly, welcoming, and always trying to accommodate you. You can really taste the love and tradition in everything they make. A Tampa classic that never disappoints.

Outstanding customer service, and the cake turned out wonderful and delicious! The entire staff was so incredibly nice and helpful from start to finish while ordering my daughters birthday cake. I ordered it I believe on a Friday, and needed it by Wednesday. I submitted a picture of how I wanted the cake to look, and honestly it looks better than the inspiration photo. Super happy as a first time customer and I can’t wait to order more cakes with them in the future.

I always order my cakes from Alessi Bakery, and Melissa is my go to baker. She is incredibly talented, and every cake she makes is not only beautiful but also absolutely delicious. The taste is always perfect, and you can tell she puts real care into her work. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming to Alessi Bakery for ten years, ever since I first moved to Tampa, and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich on Cuban bread is still my favorite. Pressed to perfection, it’s everything I love about this city in one bite. Orlando makes the best sandwiches, and the entire staff is always wonderful. Honestly, it’s hard to walk out of here without grabbing a few pastries on the way — this place just feels like Tampa, Florida.

Melissa at Alessi bakery did such an amazing job on my daughter‘s birthday cake. I provided a general Vision and she created a beautiful masterpiece. My daughter requested an almond cake with raspberry and it was
delicious.
