Roma Bakery

My favorite Italian bakery…
Cookies /​pastries are outstanding
If I want to order a tiramisu cake or Italian rum this is where I come.
A warm greeting from the woman behind the counter for every holiday.
Love love this place

I ordered from them for my baby shower and everything was absolutely delicious!!!
They can make whatever you can dream up!
The frosting is one of the best that I’ve had anywhere, amazing cookies pastries and cakes.
. I’d RECOMMEND it to anyone. friendly staff and lovely ambience!!!

Ordered a tray of miniature pastries for both a baby shower and a wedding shower (tea). I left the creative angle to them and I was thrilled. The cream puffs, miniature fruit tarts, neopolitans etc were as beautiful as they were delicious. I love this place and highly recommend it.

I would give this business ZERO stars if it was possible, and let me explain why.
While I was in PA. For my best friends baby shower, of her FIRST baby, she had a pending order that was placed with Roma Bakery via email. There is written proof of the order and what was needed. The cake was supposed to be a gender reveal cake-​neutral on the outside and pink on the inside.
When my best friend and her sister arrived at the bakery, they were presented with a cake that was not gender neutral, yet it looked more along the lines of a girly cake. The fondant was cracked and she was informed that the inside of the cake was angel cake, not pink on the inside. My bestie never had a fondant cake so they sent the bakery a photo of what they wanted, lettering and all. Lettering was supposed to be in fondant and it was in a gel.
My best friend was distraught and upset but we needed a cake for the shower. The lady only offered to take $ 30 off the cake, even though it was not what they ordered. Fondant cakes are expensive and because this cake was nothing of what they discussed or showed, they shouldn’t have charged for the cake. IT WAS COMPLETELY WRONG! But because we were starting the baby shower in less than 2 hrs from that point, they left without much arguement. We figured we would just deal with it later.
They get to the house and I see my best friend run for the bedroom. I follow her and she’s bawling her eyes out, so upset that her gender reveal shower was ruined. That’s what the cake was for!
Luckily my best friends sister had a gift for my best friend – a wrapped frame of the sonogram saying it’s a girl, so we used that but, come on! The whole party was based around this cake!
We end up cutting the cake and as I stated before, the fondant was cracked everywhere but when we cut into the cake, we saw it was caved in the middle. It looked like she replaced a piece in the middle of the cake and placed the fondant over it!
So my best friends husband goes on Unilocal (see his review below) and writes a bad review. I mean, this is what Unilocal is for, to share good or bad experiences with others.
This business, a few months later, sends my best friends husband a nasty email, cursing him out for his review. CURSING him out! What kind of business does this?!
As if it wasn’t bad enough that the owner could hardly understand English, they then get insulted and attacked by this business after they spent good money on a bad cake that was nothing like they said they wanted.
TALK ABOUT ADDING INSULT TO INJURY.
This company caused my best friend unnecessary, emotional distress. She’s high risk and really doesn’t need the added stress, nor does she deserve this treatment.
NO ONE DOES.
When you order something, you expect to receive what you ordered, not something you didn’t order, which applies to any business of any industry. Period.
So due to the fact that this is a HORRIBLE business with BAD business skills and rude owners, I ask that you please read some of the responses sent to my friends from the owner of Roma Bakery:
My friend:
His private messages to me read as follows (this is his horrific spelling, not mine)…
Owner of Roma Bakery:
I jest peaty you u are notting & invisible to me… I know it ., notting better to do and say do not replay .i work full time I do not have time for a loser like u .grow up!!! Regards,…
My friend:
then he sent me another message with
Owner of Roma Bakery:
” F U loser!!!“
Please tell me what business does this!!! I’ve never seen this treatment before in my life!
So this is a fair warning to anyone who may consider buying from this bakery-you’re better off going to the local grocery store. At least you won’t deal with the frustration of being insulted after expressing your disappointment on a review website.
The owner ATTACKED AND INSULTED my friends.
BAD business if you ask me.
And I wouldn’t be shocked if I get attacked for leaving a bad review of this horrible cake, let alone, experience.
One more thing, we are all respectable, professionals here. So as adults who were highly upset and disappointed by the bad business that was exuded, we have every right to voice our opinions and concerns on Unilocal.
BUYER BEWARE.
****IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNERS COMMENT****
No one cares that you think whomever leaves a bad review deserves zero stars as a person. That’s IRRELEVANT.
And I was there, just not at your bakery, but I saw the correspondes between you and my best friends sister, and I was the person who took this photo.
I AM THE ONE WHO CALMED DOWN YOUR CUSTOMER, MY BEST FRIEND, WHO’S PREGNANT, AND WHO’S GENDER REVEAL PARTY CAKE WAS RUINED BY YOUR BAKERY… I WAS THE ONE WHO STOPPED HER FROM CRYING HER EYES OUT BECAUSE THAT’S HOW SHE WAS REVEALING THE GENDER OF HER FIRST CHILD TO HER CLOSEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? WORKING HARD OR NOT, YOU MESSED UP THEIR ORDER AND YOU FAIL TO OWN UP TO IT.
POOR BUSINESS.

This is a cute little bakery with awesome desserts! I got a selection of desserts from here and I loved them all. I’m looking forward to being in the area again so I can go back.

First visit to this bakery, and everything we got was delicious. Owners were so nice and friendly. Will definitely return. The almond cookie is my favorite.

Ordered a special cake for a gender reveal baby shower. It was supposed to be pink or blue inside but it wasn’t. When asked why it was wrong they said they didnt understand the instructions. If you dont understand instructions, you should call the person who ordered the cake and ask them. They ruined my wife’s baby shower. This place charges a lot of money for their baked goods and has no idea how to do business. Order cake from your local grocery store its just as good and way cheaper. This place has no clue how to do business.
To further prove my point, look at the business owner’s reply below. I will make it even simpler and copy and paste his reply to this review. They messed up a cake, I wrote an honest review, and rather than apologize the owner responds with:
«1÷26÷2016 *Noting better to do! U have a real job? I suggest u to find one u really need to fill up your time. notting more to say good luck & congrats for your stupidity …»
This is Roma Bakery’s owner reply to my review. This place has ZERO clue how to do business and this response proves with 100% certainty that I am correct.
Avoid this place at all costs, expensive over priced baked goods and rude unprofessional ownership.

I needed a cake for my son’s baptism. I normally like to visit the bakery and pick out a design, but I was traveling for work and didn’t have time to stop in. I called and ordered a cake for 30 people and told them what to write on it. I had no idea what it would look like when I picked it up, but I was very pleased with the large round cake (I really like it wasn’t a square sheet cake) with beautiful flowers and scroll work for a very reasonable price. The cake was delicious and I had 2 people at the party ask where the cake was from because they loved it.

I recently ordered a cake here for my boyfriend’s birthday and was severely disappointed. I hadn’t known anyone whose ever ordered from here but for a small bakery like that that has been open for 20+ years — how could it be bad? I placed an order over the phone, which may have been my demise, with a lady who had a hard time understanding me.
I asked for a cake that served 4 – 6 people… just a small guy. The lady told me they had one of those. Turns out, the same cake that serves 4 – 6 people is also the same cake that serves 8 – 10 people. Fail.
I asked for no flowers. It had roses everywhere.
I was told it would be $ 18 which I was almost okay with but I ordered it anyway hoping it’d be this delicious, little Italian cake. It ended up being $ 21 plus tax.
The icing was über sweet. The cake was good, but I expected much more. I felt like I could have gotten a cake like that at Giant and been just as happy.
Both employees I dealt with had such broken English — very strong Italian roots — that I had a hard time understanding them and, I’m sure, vice versa.
Overall, really disappointed. Maybe it was my fault for ordering over the phone but this just didn’t work out for me.

This place is fantastic. Everything I have had here is absolutely delicious. As soon as you walk in, it is as if you have been transported to Italy. The staff is also fantastic. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family, and they all love it as well. My only complaint is that it has ruined every other bakery for me because this is by far my absolute favorite!

Amazing authentic Italian bakery right in my hometown. This place has been here for ages — I don’t know why I haven’t stopped in before now. Perhaps I thought a bakery in small town Blue Bell, PA couldn’t possibly compare to the bakeries of the Little Italys in big cities I’ve visited. What a fool I’ve been.
I ordered a tiramisu cake in a personal cup for $ 3.99. This was the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. It was decadent and creamy but impossibly light. It was just slightly sweet so that you don’t feel sick after two bites.
I also had four mini desserts: blueberry pie, lemon pie, cream puff and ricotta tart. Each was so tasty and again, not overly sweet. I really liked the chewy orange zest bits in the ricotta tart and the lemon pie filling was perfectly smooth and sweet/​sour.
They also have custom decorated cookies for order, some airbrushed with designs. These looked only slightly cheesy like airbrushed tshirts you get at the shore but I bet they are very tasty since they don’t have all that too-​sweet icing on them.
They do take credit cards but with a minimum of $ 19. I will definitely be back soon to sample more of their goodies.

I’m a big fan of Italian bakeries, and this is one of the best. Their tiramisu cake is always a hit, but Roma is by no means a one product shop. Everything there is delicious. The rum cake is awesome, and even the cookies are remarkable. If you’re there around Christmas, check to see if they have panettone. It often sells out, but don’t miss it if you can get it.
The people at Roma are nice, the baked goods are delicious, and they usually have a good selection of stuff pre-​made if you’re entertaining and didn’t get around to placing an order in advance. It’s worth noting that Roma is not cheap, but its quality easily justifies the price.

LOVE this bakery. I recently moved to the area and I’m so glad they are not a far drive from me. You can’t go wrong with anything here. My favorite is their cannolis.

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg… everything is awesome… expensive but wow!!!

Outstanding quality, beautiful products and a lovely staff. Please note that Roma does not accept credit cards. I am particularly fond of their almond cookies. Also their miniatures are really beautiful. Oh! and the biscotti. and the tiramisu cake!
I’ve ordered a few special cakes from them and alway been delighted. I have received exactly what I ordered and the cakes have been stunning. I find it a little funny to see that the two users who gave very low ratings have both posted just one Unilocal review. Pretty fishy particularly because the experiences they describe seem so unlikely in an outstanding bakery that I’ve used for over a decade.

I have always loved coming here right before a holiday and getting a few pounds of their butter cookies and a tiramisu cake. Recently, I’ve discovered their mini desserts, which are just amazing. Try the tarufini and the ricotta tarts! The owners here are always ready with smiles and can make you just about any baked creation. I should also note that my family will only get our tiramisu from here.

I’m pretty picky about bakeries, and this one definitely lives up to my expectations. Some of the bakeries in this area do not make real, old-​fashioned buttercream frosting for their cakes any more, but this one does, so I am delighted that I found it! I don’t like those light, fluffy frostings on traditional birthday cake. They taste synthetic and wimpy to me. This place knows the real way to do it — authentic buttercream icing on moist, buttery cake — delicious!!! Their cookies ROCK, too!
Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!

This is a legit Italian bakery. It’s not an Americanized Italian bakery like the ones you find in south Philly. The confections at Roma are identical to what I used to buy while living in Italy. That said, if you like real Italian confections– look no further. I happen to prefer the more Americanized varieties but always enjoy going to Roma because it gives me a chance to brush up on my Italian. The owners are extremely nice and I understand that their custom cakes for parties and weddings are sublime.

This Italian bakery is a little jewel in Blue Bell, PA. I’ve been to LOTS of Italian bakeries all across the U.S. and this by far beats all of them in terms of quality and flavor.
They have the BEST tiramisu cake EVER. I first had the cake at a friend’s house when I was a teenager, and no tirasimu I’ve had since then has compared. The cream is very light, hazelnut and coffee flavored, sandwiched between light fluffy and moist cake layers. It’s not too sweet, but perfectly delectable, not drenched in liquor, and SOOO GOOOOD!
Their cookies are also DELICIOUS!!! Any of their mini cookies stuffed with jam (raspberry, strawberry or apricot) with a thin coating of white chocolate or milk chocolate. The cookie part is just fluffy and light, melts-​in-​your-​mouth-​GOOD with the perfect amount of jam inside, all so soft but the crispy chocolate cover makes it SOOO delicious and unique, a perfect soft cookie with the crispy chocolate shell.
YOU MUST STOP BY HERE if you’re in the area. Get their tiramisu cake and some of their jam-​filled cookies. SOOOOO AMAZING!!!

Roma Bakery is right next door to Trinacria. My friend bought one of their tiramisu cakes for me, which was one of the sweetest gifts ever (and literally). It wasn’t too shabby! I am not a fan of sweets — especially tiramisu — but everyone else who had a slice was pretty excited about its light texture, and the fact that part of it tasted like ice cream. I’ll have to check out their other offerings so I can inflict cakes upon others.
