Macri’s Bakery is more than South Bend’s favorite bakery—it’s a South Bend tradition. We have one location – Downtown South Bend at 214 N Niles Ave. Since George Sr. and Iole Macri opened Macri’s Bakery in 1978, the vision has remained the same: to bring an authentic Italian dining experience to Michiana. It took a few return trips to the homeland, one building relocation, and a dynamic family effort, but the result has been a beloved bakery that has maintained its commitment to deliver exceptional service and even more exceptional food. Our authentic Italian bakery offers up fresh pastas, imported specialty foods, hearty meats and cheeses, pizzas, paninis, salads, sweet pastries, donuts, special-order cakes, wedding cakes and more.
Family-run stalwart offering a variety of Italian desserts, deli fare, pizza & specialty goods.

Carmella is truly incredible, and we couldn’t have asked for a better baker for our wedding. She created the most amazing cake—four tiers with alternating white and black cake, filled with raspberry and cannoli cream—and it tasted just as incredible as it looked.
In addition to the cake, she also made an entire spread of cookies, cannoli, and other sweets for our dessert table, which our guests absolutely loved. Everything was beautifully crafted and delicious, and we received so many compliments on the variety and quality of the desserts.
The design of the cake itself was stunning. Every detail was beautifully done by hand, with fresh flowers intertwined throughout the tiers, perfectly complementing our wedding aesthetic. It was elegant, timeless, and truly a work of art.
Carmella went above and beyond for us in every way. She graciously accommodated us with two separate tastings since we were living out of town, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. And when she learned that my husband and I didn’t even get a chance to eat our own cake on our wedding day, she surprised us two weeks later with an extra cake as a gift—an act of kindness we will never forget.
Beyond her incredible talent, Carmella truly feels like family. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who delivers breathtaking desserts with heart, care, and generosity, Carmella is it.

We cannot thank Carmela enough for the incredible work she did for our wedding. She created a custom cake inspired by my grandparents’ exact wedding cake, which was a lifelong dream of mine and such a meaningful way to honor them. She recreated the design perfectly and every detail was spot on and absolutely beautiful.
We received countless compliments from our guests at the wedding, as well as from friends online, on how stunning the cake was.
In addition to the cake, Carmela also made all of our wedding desserts. The desserts received just as many compliments! The table looked beautiful and everyone loved the variety.
If you are looking for someone who truly cares, listens, and puts so much heart into their work, Carmela at Macri’s Bakery is exceptional. We are beyond grateful for her care, talent, and effort in making such a sentimental part of our wedding absolutely perfect.

We worked with Carmela at Macri’s Italian Bakery for our wedding cake and desserts and were so pleased with our experience. We live in the West Suburbs of Chicago and were looking for an authentic Italian bakery to cater the desserts for our wedding in Berrien Springs, MI. We were so excited when we came across Macri’s!
We visited in person multiple times and had WAY to much fun tasting everything. The cake turned out exactly how I envisioned and was a stunning centerpiece. And my Sicilian family approved of the cannolis on the wedding day, which says a lot! We were so happy to see everything get eaten up so quickly on the dessert display table (and were happy to have a few leftovers at the end of the night to enjoy!).
This definitely won’t be our last time eating at Macri’s! Thank you for everything, Carmela!

I stopped into this restaurant for a quick date with my wife and was greatly impressed with the food and service and timeliness of everything. My wife and I have been to Carmela’s before, which is a sit-down restaurant in the same building. We have always liked that, but always walked through this restaurant to get to it and have been curious about this place for awhile. We will definitely come here again. We got a Margherita pizza and garlic bread. We will have to try their fresh made pasta at some point. Can’t wait to come back!

I hope the owner is reading this.
I came here before, to Macris and Carmela’s and we enjoy the food.
The thing I hope you guys change is your food contamination. This is 2025 and we live in a society where LOT of people have allergies.
We got some gelato and sorbet but when we said my boyfriend has a nut allergy, she said she can’t promise any thing won’t be contained.
She did clean the spoon off and there was no problem with the sorbet but we didn’t not take a chance with the gelato.
Also how the spoon was in the nasty water was not safe even if he didn’t have a nut allergy.
I really think you should be more open to having option for people with allergies. You can just have all the nut gelatos on one side of the freezer and then all the non nut stuff on the other with separate utensils.

I am a huge fan of carrot cake, and the one from Macri’s Italian Bakery is without a doubt the best I have ever had. The cake itself was unbelievably moist and perfectly spiced, with a wonderful texture from the fresh carrots. But the cream cheese frosting is what truly puts it over the top! It’s rich, creamy, and has the perfect balance of sweetness and tang without being overwhelming.
Every bite was absolute perfection. This is now my go-to cake for every special occasion. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-quality, and absolutely delicious carrot cake, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!

I’ve always enjoyed Macris Bakery and how friendly their team is. Today they helped my youngest by handing him a small treat so I could finish my order in peace! Also, their chicken bruschetta pizza is the best pizza in town.

The best Paczkis in my opinion! A bakery that has something for just about everyone. Even has Italian food like pizza, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.

We visited Macri’s for a quick dessert to-go order while visiting Notre Dame on a road trip. Ordered the Amaretti cookies, a cannoli and some coconut macaroons. Delicious! Wish we could have stayed for a full meal as the fresh pasta looked incredible. Very friendly & helpful staff. Definitely worth the visit!
