The team at Italian Bakery has been proud to serve the community for over 60 years, and in 2017, we decided to take that experience and vision to the next level. This led to the creation of Italian Bakery’s Mercato, a place where our passion for authentic Italian flavours could shine even brighter.
Though we’ve faced our fair share of challenges, including a devastating fire at our Beverly location in 2016, we came back stronger than ever, reopening in 2017 with a larger, better space to serve you. Then, in early April 2020, another unfortunate fire struck our 97th Street downtown location. But once again, we didn’t back down. We persevered and rebuilt, but now after 60 years, it was time to close the doors to our 97th Street downtown location for good as we continue to bring our passion to our store in Beverly.
We invite you to visit us, where you can enjoy our signature caffè, freshly made deli sandwiches, premium deli meats, custom cakes, and delectable pastries. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or to stock up on your favourite Italian ingredients, we can’t wait to share our passion for great food with you.
First established in 1960, the Italian Bakery was built on family traditions, hard work, and a passion for providing its customers with quality ingredients and delicious products. Founded by Antonio and Aurora Frattin, the bakery began in a small shop on 93rd Street. As the business grew, it moved to its iconic downtown location on 97th Street in 1962, and later expanded with a second location in Beverly in 1989. For over three generations, the Italian Bakery has been a family-run business, and our love for family, friends, and community has been the foundation of our success.
While we say goodbye to our 97th Street downtown location, we’re excited to continue serving you with the same dedication at our Beverly location on 118th Avenue. Thank you for being a part of our journey and helping us grow—here’s to the next 60 years and beyond!
