PERFECT. Service, sweets, prices. Old school bakery at it’s best. Unfortunately we were just passing through town; how I envy lucky Summit locals...

Jess Gracias

Such a cute bakery and the Philly fluff is to die for! I've been hooked since the day I tried it. Definitely stop by and pick one up, you won't be sorry. Everything is fresh, delicious and reasonably priced.

Deborah Eddy

Love this place!! Baked goodies are so delicious. You must try the Philly Fluff. It's a pound cake that is not as heavy like the usual pound cake with all the flavor of a good pound cake. They sell it by the half bundt or whole cake.

Racquel Gilpin

Excellent bakery! Everything is good but I am partial to the fruit tart & the Philly fluff!

Yanzhi Hu

Best bakery in the area

Timur Alimov

Great selection of freshly baked goods. The prices are very acceptable and the staff is very friendly and helpful

Jeanne Ringwood

The BEST!

Anton Gadzhiev

My grandmother lived down the street from Natale's. Me and my siblings spent much of our childhood at her house. My aunts & uncles (that are closer to my age) - spent many, many days at this bakery (black/white cookies, sugar cookies & cupcakes - back then. Nowadays it's the crumb cake and, of course, Philly Fluff). When I moved away, I "ALWAYS" had to came back. After 50 years, I still cannot go to any other bakery.

Frances Jackson

very good Italian bakery. The famous philly fluff was def worth ordering. But their other baked goods were also very good. be ready to line up during holidays, though.

Gak 63

Busy busy place, the few items I've purchased have been really good and I would recommend this place to anyone in the general area!

Daniel Maia

I loved the Boston cream donut! All in all I think this place is pretty good.... It's not 5 stars because I feel that once I finish eating a pastry my taste buds don't say "GOTTA HAVE MORE". And with some bakerys I literally can't stop thinking about getting more lol.

Rachelle Zorich

No review yet the last time I was in the area I happened to stop on the day you were closed I had some of your cookies at a function but have not been to purchase any which I’ve been very anxious. Coming from NorfolkVa should be in your area Thursday hope I don’t miss you . Dying for your cookies . We do not have good bakeries here. How much are they a pound

Patrick Gray

I'm from NC, I was told that I was bringing back a box of Napoleon's and a box of canolli's. After having one of each for myself, I see why. Best bakery on earth.

Heith Battles

Nice small bakery staff was supper nice and friendly .

Danielle Reisch

One of those great local family-owned institutions that is worth driving out of your way for. Consistently good, great service, and a great value. An amazing selection from italian cookies to french pastries to donuts, cakes, tarts, and breads. We had our wedding cake made here and everyone enjoyed it.

Rosemary Binder

The filly fluff is the best, im in pa. Living and i,miss,being in nj where i can get fresh baked goods... Thank god i know somebody who travel,by the bakery and loads me up.

Liz Palumbo

Amazing bakery...I pickup a "philly fluff" for my freezer whenever I happen to go to N.J...use it to create dessert masterpieces!!!

Kelly Lugo De Felice

Try the chocolate horn. I believe it is less than $3. It weighs a ton and is delicious.

isaiah barnes

Philly fluff is my favorite

Matt Ravitz

Excellent cakes, especially the Phillie Fluff. A bit pricey, but great quality.

Rose Marie Parsell

Always great, whether you want a cookie or a cake. Best Italian Bakery around. Bread is wonderful! Cookies galore, cakes, pies, buns, donuts, mini &full size pastries to delight your palate! Parking is a little bit tough but worth the experience for a little bit of bakery heaven.

Octavian P

I've been going to Natale's for 10+ years. It's one of those places that, for better or worse, does not seem to change. The best thing that I buy here are the sfogliatelle. The crunchiness, the filling, it's all perfectly balanced. They do run out later in the day, so go early if you seek them. Other stuff is hit or miss. The rugelach is too sweet for my taste, and too expensive. Same with other cookies. The croissants are too bready. The bread is too.. Italian, whatever that means. I do like the dinner rolls though. There is usually a good selection of cakes, they look good, but I never tried them. Edit May 2019: Sadly service at Natale's has been lacking lately. On one visit, I got the wrong thing. On another, a bag was missing. I only realized when I got home. I don't even know what I paid for, since they usually don't give receipts, and the prices are not visibly posted.

Martin Schwarz

Great Philly fluff and awesome service

Dominick Sandelli

James DeSalvo

Philly Fluffy pound cake is incredable and addicting.

Light Breaks

Classy Philly Fluff. Will definitely come again

Lou Leonardis

Great little local bakery. Gotta have their Philly Fluff Cake. Cookies and cakes here are very good. Parking can be a pain during busy times and holidays and that's what prevents the 5th star.

Matthew Cohen

Some of the best bakery items in New Jersey. Shockingly the prices here still seem like it's the 1990's. Can't recommend enough.

Krista Wendle

This bakery is my favorite. Pretty much in the entire USA. I keep searching for another, but the year we lived in Summit I really had no idea how I had such a good thing. My firstborns first cookie was from here. The staff is kind and generous, the portions plentiful and prices good. I've never had a thing here that wasn't good. Always a delight Natales! We love you!

Rupa Kale

Amazing and fresh cookies but the Philly Fluff is our family favorite and to die for. We regularly pick one up to give as gifts when visiting someone.

Cerissa Louison

Staff was uber friendly and the pastries were plentiful and authentic. Try the petit fours they are authentically made, beautiful and most importantly DELICIOUS!

James Schwartz

Great bakery. Breads are good. Big fan of their danish. Can get super busy especially around major holidays. Always worth the trip!

Eric Bigman

Best bakery in town

Mona Iwer

Lucile Nering

Best fresh breads and pastries...don't forget the sweet 16 cakes

Bill Bell

They are known for their Phillie fluff. An indiscribeable pound cake always moist and it cleanses the palate while satisfying the taste buds not being sweet.

Tom Delduca

Great pastrys

Anna JT

My favorite bakery

Debbie Sztybel

Great bread cookies cupcakes and pastries

JonKrisInc Peters

Famous for their "Philly Fluff" cake

Lisa Evers

Natale's is a sure thing! Wonderful fresh breads and rolls. Desserts for every occasion. You'll never be sorry you stopped in to get your favorite sweet treat!

Daniel Fevre

Always busy. Great breads and pastries

Edward Morales

In and out in five minutes on Christmas Eve morning was quite surprising and most welcomed. That of course was due to the abundance of the very helpful and friendly staff. Philly Fluff is the best and worth the ride!

Sophie Mahon

This is the best bakery I have ever been too. The staff is very kind and amazing. All the food is incredible, the cakes,cookies,brownies and more

Ben Rodrigues

Great Paistreys !!

Juan Cruz

No need to add additional details about their baked goods. Everything they have is top notch. The only caveat with this place is the parking lot, which could be really a challenge for people with poor driving skills. I have seen a little bit of everything, from the crazy lady who can't park and hits other cars, to the one who yells out of frustration (I guess) LOL (I almost call the police a twice) My only advice is to be patient in the parking lot though. The extra effort is worth and you won't be disappointed ;)

Faith Leon

Best Philly Fluff cake ever! Everything in this place is delicious!

Rabiya Ejaz

Its a great local bakery in summit. Kids loved their cakes and my dad love their freshly baked breads. The staff is really friendly. Would definately recommend for fresh cream cakes.

Ray R

Been looking for a good derby cake... I finally found a bakery that makes them great - here at Natale's! Everything from bread to cakes, this is the place to go.

Scott Charles Kline

Fast and friendly service. Know for their "Philly Fluff" cakes, yummy. Fantastic bread and sweets. Love this place.

Cynthia McChesney

We love Natale's. We get all birthday and special occasion cakes there -- you might try this combo: chocolate cake, mocha icing, and chocolate mousse filling: yum!

Amy Argila

Love this place.....so good

Tom McGhee

I enjoy looking at there bakery, but I don’t really go there anymore.

Jen Hsu

My favorite bakery in Summit! Friendly staff and always there to help. Some of our favorites: popular philly fluff cake top w/ confectioners sugar, bear claw, warm butter roll. And fresh donuts. This place can be extremely busy especially around the holidays so make sure you are there super early or order in advance.

Linda severie

Travel from MD to buy their bread. Excellent!

L. Palagonia

Excellent Italian bakery with delicious cakes (Philly Fluff pound cake is my personal favorite!) cookies, bread and pastries. They also sell platters and beverages including a coffee stand.

Katie Alvino

Was my first time here. This place was recommended to me by a co worker. Ordered cupcakes for a bridal shower and I had MULTIPLE guests coming up to me asking where they were from. They weren’t just pretty (perfect looking actually) they were so fresh. Officially my go to bakery now! Thanks guys!

Areez Elavia

Good fresh stuff available

Fran Rice

Sharlene Smith

Their penoles are amazing.... had 2 stop... thx u so much. AMAZING!!!!!

Jean Gilio

Wonderful. Even when busy, they take care of waiting customers quickly. So many types of delicious breads, cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, everything is outstanding. Parking can be tricky some times.

ARTURO TORO URRESTI

Nice place

Victoria Tullo

I'm a lifetime customer of Natale's--from birthdays, to graduations, to holidays, anniversaries, and "just cause", my family has continued to go to Natale's for our bakery needs. They provide exceptional customer service and a family atmosphere while also delivering the best cakes and cookies in New Jersey. Although everyone raves about the Philly Fluff, we go to Natale's for their classic butter cookies, fondant cookies, cupcakes, and cakes. They never disappoint. I can count on them for last minute requests and special occasions. Forever loyal. WE LOVE YOU, NATALE'S!

Rupert Jones

Try the Philly Fluff it's outstanding. Parking can be a challenge but otherwise a great bakery

Michael Kaczun

Local treasure. Parking is a bit of a nightmare but if you get past that, they will definitely exceed your expectations on their baked goods.

MaryBeth Sweet

Always a good sign when dessert comes in a Natale's box!

Ty

Best BAKERY in the world second to none!

M z

The prices are reasonable. Customer service & wait time is great! And the bakery smell of that place is out of this world!!! I see why they been in business since the late 1930s. Lord have mercy.

Sonia Krusche

Love their Fluffy Cake!! delicious!!

Edward Giacobbe

Best bakery

Ralph Visco

Great bakery. Pleasant help. Paul is the best at what he does and his customer service is very good.

Angela Schultz

Awesome

Pradeepdish

Amazing quality bread. Their number one selling cake is probably the Philly Fluff, and rightfully so. It is absolutely delicious. I also recommend the Strawberry Marmont and the Tiramisu. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, but I think it's still a seasonal item. If you're looking for quality items, search no further.

Karen Fisch

The BEST old fashion bakery!!!! Everything is so yummy!!!

Troy Healey

Quick service, incredible baked goods! The Philly fluff cake is a must have! Very affordable.

James Coughlin

Very good

Peter Trombetti

Always super fresh pastries. I have eaten a lot of zeppole in my life. I have never had a cannoli cream filled one before ( I live in Rhode Island ) it was excellent. I actually like it better than traditional boiled cream. Philly fluff cake, forget about it !!! Lol

Pasquale Campanile

Strawberry topped cheese cake is light and excellent. Philly fluff great, brown derby excellent. This Christmas holiday was our first time here and will not be our last. Our new destination for cakes and bread. Can't wait to go back.

Vishal Talwar

Simply amazing, on all fronts! No other way to capture the whole experience! From the vast selection to the advice to the taste and their fair price. We haven’t bought packaged bread or pastry for 2 years; with our each weekend starting with a trip to Natale’s to get their freshly baked loaves... I wish they remain here for generations to come, serving the community the same great taste and value that us and the generations before have enjoyed!! All the best!

Russell Molina

I go for the Philly Fluff and am never disappointed. It gets crowded in there but they keep it moving.

Jayeeta Sharma Datey

Very friendly staff. Great selections. Philly fluff is the best. Highly recommend.

Joseph Verrusio

Great bakery

Francine Braham

I gave this bakery a few chances and it is definitely hit or miss. I won't be back because the items do not taste fresh...pretty stale. At first I thought I probably visited at the wrong times, buy after trying it a few more times I realized their stuff is just not fresh. Staff is not really friendly either. Place is small..meh, I been to better bakeries..

Mark Di Sabato

Old fashioned bakery with fresh bread and pastries. This reminds me of the bake shops I used to go to with my grandparents. And you can get your pizza dough here for homemade pizza.

Chris Connor

I have been going to this Bakery for the past 50 years and it's the best one I've ever been to in all of New Jersey.

Debb Morales

I bought a philly fluff and a pumpkin pie from this place for thanksgiving. First of all their philly fluff is a very over priced pound cake that was so dry, all my guests at thanksgiving dinner were upset at the poor quality of such a dessert supposedly considered the best in NJ. As for the pumpkin pie the crust was absolutely terrible. The crust is a very important part of the pie and my guests were not happy with it at all. Someone else brought a pie from Walmart and it tasted way better. So all the money I spent at Natale’s bakery went down the drain and I ended up throwing the pie and philly fluff in the garbage. For Christmas I won’t be going their for my holiday desserts. Don’t waste your money, there are plenty of other bakeries in NJ who do a much better job than this place.

AL LOPEZ

Great bakery must try Philly fluff

Brad Chernock

Great local bakery with a wonderful pound cake and cheesecake.

Alexa Valentin

Piñoli cookies and fluff cake. Go get some.

Dorothy Friedman

The best pound cake ever

Deborah Petersen

Great cake!, parking could be improved.

Mary Ledwith

Absolutely the best bakery in Summit! Actually the best bakery anywhere. The Philly Wipe Cake is to die for and is famous even in Long Island among extended family. The kids love it as simple rich cake but it is perfect with coffee. Service is great even when busy. Go. I wonder how many of these PW they make in a week? 300? More?

satyam babaria

Great tasty almond butter cookies however customer service is not that great.

Colin Hull

Good classic desserts. I havent had their bread but it looks great! Show up well before closing as they often run out of items by EOD

Sean McCabe

The Philly Fluff is the Best.

richard tillbrook

Great New 22 Location, Great Bakery, Coffee.

susan domitrovic

My friend lives in NJ and surprised me with a Philly Fluff in California! It stayed in perfect tact and was as good as I remember..what a GREAT surprise! I couldn't have asked for a better gift..Sure wish you could ship!

Patrick Skalski

Fantastic deserts. Great pastries and cakes for any occasion.

M Spoon

First time going to the bakery I was mindblown. The delicious smell while walking down the street of all the baked good made my stomach growl. The employees were polite and helpful. The baked goods were fresh and tasty. Also the Philly fluff and cinnamon breakfast pastry were so good, highly recommend.

Jack Mao

Fantastic bakery. Who would have known that this could exist in such a suburban area of New Jersey? Many selections to choose from. Definitely get the Philly Fluff pound cake if you get the chance. Probably the best pound cake I've ever had.

Ajey Dambal

Amazing baked goods...Philly fluff cake is awesome.

Scott West

Nothing better

Emilia Magaya

My first review ever. Natalie's never disappoints

Elias Fedai

Good bakery that has very fresh products as well as a good selection. Staff is very helpful and nice. Everything especially the donuts are fantastic. They are known for the Philly Fluff only I found it to be underwhelming a bit on the dry side.

kristine wirth

Unsanitary, a hair in the middle of my Philly Fluff cake. We were appalled.

Nik Prithviraj

Great coffee cake. Try the Philly fluff

Melanie Cohn

great bakery with super prices. I'm always happy at Natales.

Steven lombardi

Best bakery in town. Family owned and ran. I drive from Mississippi to New Jersey this in the first place I stop it's the best in the world.

Constance Bell

Had an excellent experience. Friendly atmosphere

Brian Donnelly

Best bakery around

Bob Treue

Everything I have eaten from here has been good and every time I visit their store in Summit, the place is packed. They don't seem to have anything incredibly original, but all of their desserts and baked goods are well done. I like this place.

Jonathan Regen

Philly Fluff is amazing.

Klaudia G

Best bakery in my opinion! Love everything from their super yum cakes, cookies, baked breads and rolls, donuts, cupcakes.. its So delicious. Also very fair prices, very. Thru take cards too. Friendly staff. Delicious coffee for only $1.20 for a small. Go visit!

Susanne K. Stinger

My all-time favorites (and just about the only thing I buy in large quantities to bring back for friends and family) are their Philly Fluff and the Italian cheese cake. If you drive a distance to get to Natale's (believe me, it's worth it), don't forget to buy some extra for your freezer to be enjoyed after the first cakes have disappeared.

Michael from corrupt NJ

It used to be our favorite bakery, but it went down a little

Nihal M. Alaluf

Best bakery around Summit, NJ. Although it is italian bakery, you can find many bakery suit your taste

Olga Rashchupkina

Most delicious cakes ever! Philly fluff is a must try!!!

Xiangyu Weng

The cakes are great , they could offer more varieties.

Susan Sandelli

Great treats

Vvinit Prasad

Not that great...

Roger Garrett

Stopped in Saturday morning around 9 . Line was only about 8 people so it moved along very quick. If I had tasted the food before I would have waited in a line of 80 people. I got the Philly Fluff and was amazed at how good it was. I try to bring home something different for my wife from time to time. She was thrilled to find a cake that had the PERFECT balance of taste, sweetness, texture and overall appearance. If you read this and don't go get one RIGHT NOW you should hang your head in shame. I can't wait to go back and get the Chocolate Cream Pie. I will have to plan ahead each time I go in the area as to what to try next. This is the kind of Bakery my mom used to describe when she was growing up. Few REAL BAKERIES still exist as the cost of ingredients go up and too many places cut corners and deprive their clients of the quality we are willing to pay for. I would rather spend $15.00 on something this good than $10.00 on crap. If you have a complaint about this place, you are either IMPOSSIBLE to please, like to whine, or don't know how to make yourself understood. GO NOW and try their products. You will not be disappointed! By the way, I am a traditional Meat and Potatoes type of guy. I am very hard to impress. It is a shame that only 5 stars are available.

Yelena Ushakova

Really good!

Jonathan Ratner

My families go to bakery in the Summit area.

Mostly HarmlessNJ

I almost don't want to give this place a review because others might find out how good it is and they won't have our favorites. Try the philyfluff, the peanut butter cookies, the cup cakes and the danishes... It really is hard to go wrong here

Pat Bennett

Great staff and baked goods.

Lumarie David

Love this place the Philli puff is a dream great customer service a must if in the area

Julie T.R

Their cookies are amazing. Not really fond of the cakes, but most people like them as well

Joseph P. DiFrancesco Jr.

This is the best bakery in Union County. Growing up we used to go to their Plainfield location which they closed years ago. Their bread & cakes are fantastic. Just like l I remember when I was young.

Ernest Adams

I travel on business all over the country. I hope the people of New Jersey realize what a special place this is. I grew up in the Bakery business and I can tell you, there are very few bakeries left like this in the country. Appreciate what you have here, there are only a handful of them left, with most being in the New Jersey area.

Dolph Chiarino

Great Italian & European recipes of cakes, pies, breads, cookies, etc. cooked fresh daily. This is a famous & popular bakery in Summit. Try the cannolis & other Italian pastries. Worth a stop in.

Candee Williams

Best tasting cupcakes in Summit and they can create just about anything or person with the delicious cakes. A little pricey but worth every penny

Akelly Curry

I have been using them for a couple of years now. I must say their baked goods are delicious, creative and you get what you pay for. One of the best places for real donuts. I will continue using them for all of my baking needs when time permits.

Reza Momeni

The go-to bakery in Summit. The Philly Fluff Cake is an old-time customer favorite that is not to be missed. People also like their cookies, although I'm more partial to the fruit tarts and pies.

Jordan Jones

This bakery has high quality desserts, breads, and pastries. The staff is also super kind. Everyone was helpful and patient even though I came in for the first time and had no idea what to order and I had all 3 of my kids with me. I got my husband's birthday cake there, it was perfect, and the prices aren't even so expensive! We will be going back again for every special occasion!

Manav Agarwal

Awesome family-style bakery! Their Philly fluff is to die for.

Nate Wayne

Really good Philly Fluff!

James Petrecca

Great cakes and breads service could be polished up, some of the teens there made some snide remarks..

Emily Cabezas

It's the best bakery ever, you shall try it!!

Lawrence Chan

A tad pricey for the desserts but quality is A++ Key lime pie is a family favorite
