Alfonsos Pastry Shoppe


As I mentioned in a previous blog, I have been an employee of Alfonso's Pastry Shoppe for the last four years. Today, I would like to take a moment to explain the history of the bakery.
Alfonso's Pastry Shoppe has been open in the bakery business for over forty years. The original owner, Alfonso, came from Italy and decided to open the bakery with the little money he came from Italy with. Him and his wife ran the bakery with few co workers. They did most of the labor themselves. He built the franchise of Alfonso's Pastry Shoppe all on his own with his own ambition. His will to succeed got the business where it is today. Alfonso has three sons, one who is a lawyer and the other two now run the bakery. The original location of the bakery was on Manor Rd., today, there are three stores. The three stores are located on Page Ave. in Tottenville, Amboy Rd. in Eltingville, and the main store on Victory Blvd. in Westerleigh. The two brothers, Anthony and Vincent, have expanded the business even more than their father. In addition to the three stores, Alfonso's has many personal clients and account that they deal with everyday. Some of these accounts include Excelsior Grand, The Lake Club, Harbor Manor, and many more catering halls, bakeries, and diners! Who would have known forty years ago that this business would still even be around, let alone the franchise that it is today!


Vincent & Anthony Campitiello embrace their father’s quest for excellence, the foundation upon which Alfonsos was built. “There is no mystery to our success we grew up in this business & we have a great deal of knowledge & experience. We keep up with the current trends in design & nutrition, and consistently work long hours to give our customers the superior product they expect”.
