Buffa Italian Bakery - Petersburg

Great local bakery. they will sell to the public under certain circumstances. but they are not a single-trade bakery. they are a wholesale bakery specialized in Italian and American brote, baked and sweets.

The fresh baked bread smells oh so good today. Ummm

The bread here is amazing!! Not really a consumer facing bakery so you may want to get your favorite restaurant to but from here. Either way your going to be happy with outcome; they make or enjoy!!

I am a small business owner that has used Buffta for a while and the bread has been satisfactory, but I am writing this review because I was treated by the customer service terribly. While ordering I asked to speak to a manager about the times of ordering (to not call for our order after we close, which they had done causing us to miss a bread order) and the woman I was talking to then proceeded to yell at me about how the manager was not there and she was to busy to be on time, then she hung up on me. When I called back to say something about this disrespectful employee, the same woman hung up on me a second time.

We ordered takeout from ZZQ in Richmond on Father's Day and were pleasantly surprised with three slices of incredibly delicious white bread. After calling ZZQ to inquire about the bread's origin, we learned that it came from Buffa Italian Bakery in Petersburg, specifically Buffa's Pullman White Thin Sliced. We saved a few slices and made amazing French toast the following morning. This bread is outstanding! We were also told by friends in Petersburg that Buffa Italian Bakery is run by a lovely family. We highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.
