This place is a wonderland of sweets and treats. It’s been owned by the Mainella family for 65 years. John V. Mainella opened the first location in Troy in 1957 when he immigrated from Naples, Italy. Today, that location is the main bakery. His oldest son, Dominic, opened this bakery cafe in Latham in 1982.
