De Filippis Bakery

This place has been around longer than I have been alive. I have been coming for 25 years as long as I have been with my wife. There almost is too much variety, but nothing suffers because of it. Great place to go if you want to impress someone. The rugula is perfectly flaky and sugary it is just an amazing bite. The almond horns are for real not that artificial almond taste. Well Done De Filippis Bakery Well Done.

My husband bought 2lbs of lady fingers to make tiramisu for Thanksgiving, a thanksgiving tradition of ours. This year, they threw them into a box and taped it up. When I got home I opened the box to start making the tiramisu and found that about 80% of them were completely deflated and basically a shell of the cookie. (See photos). I called the store to see what could be done on 11/25/25... well, I'm still waiting for a call back from the manager.. I attempted to salvage what I could and make the tiramisu.. it turned out to be very soupy because the cookies were half of what they should have been. Very disappointed with the service and the food this year. In search of better quality and better service in the future.

As with most independent community businesses you get quality service and great food, this place is an excellent example. If you are a local or just passing by downtown middletown, take a shot at this bakery’s offering you will not be disappointed it’s one of the towns hidden gem.

Recently had a cake made for my daughter’s party. The cake had potential, but the edible photo had air bubbles all over. I called the store to ask about it. Someone was supposed to return my call. Never got a return call, very disappointed.

Absolutely terrible experience – do not recommend for specialty cakes! I ordered a heart-shaped black strawberry shortcake for my wedding, and what I picked up looked nothing like what I ordered. The cake didn’t even resemble a heart shape, and instead of black, it was a dull grey. When I asked why it wasn’t the right color, I was told that was “the closest they could get to black.” I asked why no one called to let me know, and the staff just stared at me like a deer in headlights. To make things worse, when we cut into the cake during the reception, we realized it didn’t even have the strawberry jam filling it was supposed to! For such an important occasion, this was extremely disappointing. I would absolutely not recommend this bakery for any specialty or custom cakes. Inspo pic attac
