History

Established in 1978.

For generations the Villabate family has been creating the finest in Sicilian pastries, cakes, cookies and breads. It all started in the small town of Villabate in the northern region of the island of Sicily. After years of working in the country they call home, Father and Son followed their dreams of bringing the best in Italian baking to the people. That dream brought them to Brooklyn, NY.To this day they remain true to their Italian roots and traditional recipes by only using the best quality ingredients and offering only the freshest products to their loyal consumers. After almost 30 years of producing some of NY's finest in Italian baked goods, Villabate merged with the famous Alba Pastry Shop. In the spirit of reputation and honor, it was Mr. Alba's dying wish that they continue to deliver the same quality and freshness their customers have come to depend on. Today, Villabate-Alba continues to be family run and continues to bring a piece of Sicily to Brooklyn.

My Dad started Villabate before I was born. My first steps were in our bakery. It has been my family's honor and pleasure serving the people that come into our bakery. We try to show our dedication in every pastry, cake and loaf of bread we make. Come in and I'll make you an espresso!
