It isn’t every day that you come across a Florida bakery that has been serving the public for over 100 years. Heck, it isn’t common for any restaurant to be open for a century these days! But in Tampa, Florida, there is a bakery that just celebrated a major milestone – 109 years in business. Alessi Bakery in Florida is a time-honored treasure in Tampa that offers a wide variety of cookies, cakes, sandwiches, plus family history that you never knew you needed.
Alessi Bakery in Tampa, Florida has been a coveted spot in the city to snag cakes, cookies, coffee, and Cuban sandwiches for over a century.
Nicolo would take his horse and wagon around Tampa, bringing only the freshest Italian and Cuban bread to customers. Eventually, Nicolo’s son John continued the tradition of baking, and eventually went on to win numerous awards in cake decoration.
For starters, the sweets here are out-of-this-world. The bakery is not your average bakery by any means, with canopies and cronuts, Rugelach, and danishes.
But it isn’t just sweet at Alessi’s, there are also savory items, too. With an entire deli inside, guests can score a sandwich at Alessi’s Deli from clubs to subs and beyond.
