Bakery
Report
Sam's Bakery is the place to find the finest Italian breads, stromboli, tomato pie and rolls. We began baking our own bread in 1988, to meet our customers' high demand for fresh baked Italian breads. Our bread and rolls are baked fresh everyday by our skilled master craftsmen. Making bread is a lengthy process, from mixing the ingredients, to letting the dough rise, hand-rolling it and finally baking, the whole process takes about 6 hours.
Pastry
Report
In 2006, our bakery expanded to include pastries and cakes. Not only do we have cannoli, but now we carry a wide variety of cakes and single-serve pastry. Our mini sfogliatelle, cream puffs, cupcakes or mini cannoli will make any celebration memorable. Our Italian Rum Cake is hand made from the freshly baked sponge cake to our cream custard filling.

Report
October is upon us! Changing leaves, cooler weather, and lots of reasons to enjoy some great food. Whether it's a tailgate, a milestone birthday, or a family dinner, fall is the ideal time to enjoy some heartier fare you may not have served in the warmer months. With the growing season wrapping up, so are Adam and Frank's trips to Lancaster to get the freshest produce for you.
