This Bakery has it all! Freshness, unbeatable taste and a staff that provides my family and I with a world class customer service. Egg sandwiches that will literally put your taste buds on cloud 9. Their French bread is the key. Always FRESH since it’s baked on premises. You can tell by the aroma that permeates through out the entire establishment. This unique and authentic Bakery serves our community well. In the mornings, I find myself standing shoulder to shoulder with first responder, local entrepreneurs, grade school students and staff to families such as yours and mine. I encourage each Long Islander to visit and support this fine establishment. The only mass produced item at La Excelencia are the napkins and bags. 5 cents to safe guard my goods is well worth the mandate that Suffolk county enforces. No need to use napkins either. Although I’m provided with an adequate amount. More often than otherwise I find myself tempted to lick all that goodness from my fingertips. No matter how foolish I may look at the office. It’s worth it. #sogood
