Scafuri Bakery

I stopped by Scafuri to try some of the cookies/pastries and it did not disappoint! I bought a pistachio biscotti, sfogliatella and a fig cookie. The pistachio biscotti did not have a strong pistachio flavor but the texture is good - crunchy but not dry. The sfogliatella was my favorite! Delicate pastry that tasted fresh and the filling was lightly sweet. Very good and tastes exactly like the ones I've had in Italy.The venue itself was nothing flashy but nice. Service was quick and there was no line but the staff were polite but not overly friendly

Although they assemble the cannoli right in front of you. The shell is not fresh and the filling does not appear to be made with ricotta cheese. What ever it is does not seem to have been thoroughly mixed. Also when we went there was not any music playing. Just a sad place with what seems like a minimal effort to bring in repeat customers.

This was a disappointing experience. We stopped by for a quick cup of coffee and a pastry. From the outside, it's a cute Italian bakery! But looking at their baked good case inside, it seems presentation is not a priority here. Donuts with thick frosting hanging off the sides, happy face cookies with uneven eyes and even burnt lemon bars :(We ordered two croissants and two coffees. I thought it was a little strange an Italian bakery didn't have espresso. Would be awesome if they did one day! Unfortunately the coffees we did receive straight from the carafes were cold. Our croissants were firm; no flakey crust, no fluffy inside. It was like a doughy bread with a hard exterior. Not the light pleasant crunch you would expect from a croissant. After this experience, I wouldn't recommend coming here. I feel like this place has so much potential but really needs some help. Hopefully they can make some changes for the better!

Local bakery that's been in the little Italy area for years. The desserts are made fresh every day and are delicious. I love getting too good to go bags from here for end of the day pastries. I also ordered paczkis for Fat Tuesday. The service was a bit slow, but they were delicious! My favorite was the strawberries and cream.

Even though it's in Chicago.I ordered online and they were delicious. They came in a few days safe packing and we're amazing

There's nowhere quite like Scafuri: this family owned cafe/nationally shipping bakery is one of Taylor Street's longest running businesses, and for good reason. It can be cluttered inside sometimes (as is expected from such a massive mail operation) but never dirty. The sweet treats they serve here are affordable and delicious, and the staff are always happy to see you. All in all, Scafuri is an absolute must when you're visiting vibrant Taylor Street

We came here for some baked goods but unfortunately they didn't have many options. The whole building was basically closed off and you had to ordered off a menu at the entrance. It makes it hard to choose what you want because you can't visually see the pastries. I came for cannolis, and their old fashioned donuts but there weren't any on the menu. Despite my disappointment in their offerings, we just walked away with a chocolate croissant and a raspberry lemon bombolini. These two were amazing. The croissant was warm and freshly baked and tasted so delicious. The bombolini was also surprisingly tasty as well. I'm not a big fan of any type of berries as a filling in donuts but these mas made jut right. I will definitely be coming back again. I'm sure once we can enter again, that I will walk away with much more than just two pastries.

Great pizza and lemon bars! Always fresh and friendly service. Classic cookies are also flavorful!

Had food shipped it was staleVery dissatisfied Was hoping for a better outcome Not like it was years ago that's for sure

Ordered a cookie delivery for Christmas cookies on December 14th. On the 20th I received notice that it was ready to be sent for delivery. Today I was notified it would arrive on December 26th.I'm very disappointed. Won't order from here again.
