Welcome To Paola’s Delights

From Italy To Bridgeport

Some flavors stay with you. A perfectly crisp cannoli. A buttery, flaky sfogliatella. A warm, just-sweet-enough cornetto alongside a proper Italian espresso. That’s what we make at Paola’s Delights — pastries that feel like home, whether you grew up in Calabria or right here in Chicago.

Paola’s Delights

About Us

From the heart of Calabria to your neighborhood bakery, Paola's Delights is a family-run business rooted in tradition and fueled by passion.

Our journey began with mastering classic Italian pastries in a small Italian town and has flourished with the addition of American baking techniques and flavors over the last ten years. This blend of heritage and innovation allows us to offer a truly unique selection of baked goods.

Paola’s been baking since she was sixteen — first in a small town in Calabria, learning from the kind of bakers who don’t need recipes. Then in Chicago, where she built on those traditions, bringing old-world techniques to a new home. That’s what makes our bakery different. It’s not just about tradition — it’s about taking something great and making it even better!

Come, Discover Where Passion Meets Pastry

We offer high-quality Italian and American delights, inviting you to savor both sweet and savory flavors. Experience the warmth of Italy with our signature espresso and cornetto breakfast.
