Tastebud intoxication, Fragapane’s is one of Cleveland Magazine’s 30 Best Cleveland Bakeries for good reason.....

Everything is great; you cannot go wrong! My recommendation is to try their locally renowned cream sticks for breakfast, but grab a few, or you’ll regret it. If lunch or dinner is what you’re feeling, then you’ll be in good company as many flock to Fragapane’s for one of their huge deli sandwiches, homemade pizza, & various desserts, salads, or sides.

Fragapane’s is located on the west end of North Olmsted, away from the bustle of heart of the City. You can easily access the bakery by taking l-480 West, exiting at Stearns Road, heading north, then a quick right down Lorain Road, similarly from I-90 head south down Crocker Road, which turns into Stearns. There is also a bakery in Bay Village. Both Fragapane’s locations are comfortably located near beautiful parks where you will enjoy your meal. We went around the corner to North Olmsted Community Park, which has plenty of picnic tables. We took refuge from the rain under the pavilion.

Fragapane Bakeries has a wide variety of food choices. With so many mouth-watering options, we made our selections based on experience, word-of-mouth suggestions, and literally every one of our senses feeding our mind with delightful food foreplay. Like playing a palate poker hand, we went ‘all-in’. We ordered a Fragabomb sub sandwich, a slice of homemade mushroom & cheese pizza, some potato salad, cookies, & of course the famous or rather infamous cream sticks (because they will slaughter your gustatory taste cells).

The Fragabomb was packed with deli meats on a fresh-baked bun, “un-friggin-believable”! The pizza was on an original homemade bakery crust, and there’s no comparison in the market. The potato salad and cookies were spot-on & left us wanting more, but the cream sticks are almost indescribable. You will not find a better combination of flavors in such a simple treat. It’s like the dough, the light cream filling, & the frosting were meant to manufacture bakery bliss. If you want an unforgettable experience, then take a dozen cream sticks home or to the office, you will hit automatic ‘hero’ status with your family or co-workers.

Expect reasonable prices, but keep in mind, this isn’t a corporate chain, it’s a family-run bakery that takes pride in their products. As an example, I believe the fully loaded sub was about $7 & a boxed dozen cream sticks were around $10. If I lived closer, this would probably be a regular stop multiple times per week - it’s honestly that great!

Upon a return visit, I’d definitely try another sub & maybe mix it up with one of Fragapane’s anti-pasto salads. Of course, I always grab some cream sticks, but I might inquire about checking if they ever make some ham salad to-go?

Great pastries, great price!!

The Best Sicilian Style Bakerie & Deli in Greater Cleveland!

The bakery is delicious but the customer service is terrible.

Best Date-n-Nut cake I've ever had!

Absolutely one of the best bakery/deli shops in the area.

Bakery items, old style and new, flakey and cakey, doughy, sweet and savory.

Great sandwiches and lunchmeats.

Good deli selection with some hard to find selections.

You really can't miss.

I'd tell you what my favorite item is, but I'm afraid it would be sold out

when I get there.
