THE NEIGHBORHOOD SWEET SPOT
In 2001, Augustino’s grandson Orlando passed 80 years of tradition (and secret recipes!) to another family committed to preserving the quality and home-style baking of Conti’s. The beautiful bakery retains many of its original details: hand-stapled tin ceilings, gorgeous wood walls, terrazzo floors, and the original marble soda fountain installed in 1928. In fact, Conti’s was chosen as the location for the 2008 film Doughboys because of its nostalgic look.
The new owners carry on the integrity of service and the artfully sweet delights of Augustino’s original creations. They continue to stay true to the original recipes that won the hearts of the community and have added their own touch of innovation to elaborately designed occasion cakes that win the hearts of a new generation. With the same hard working ethics, dedication to the community and strong values they plan on keeping Conti’s alive for generations to come.
