Rispoli Pastry Shop

It took me 45 minutes after getting off the Ferry to find a place to sit an enjoy coffee. The first place advertised coffee, but had no espresso machine. The second place was thermos coffee, and finally a helpful police offer pointed us in the direction of this little gem. We were cheerfully greeted by what I think was the granddaughter of the original owner. The coffee was great, and the carrot cake was excellent. It's a small, cute place with great service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good coffee. I gladly support little family run businesses like this over Starbucks.

Love this place. I never had a prosciutto bagel until i came to this place. The barista/manager is very knowledgeable about all the product and make great recommendations for cake order and more. Great coffee, great vive and good bread.. PS: Recommend to anyone who is visiting Staten Islands to stop by during the week. Make sure to call for hours and days of operation. They also have a location on Bay St that carries even more product in case you come during the Weekend.

Great cozy little satellite location from the main shop 2 miles away. I get coffee here daily as well as a pizza for lunch sometimes: delicious. I've also ordered cannoli cakes and recommend the rum variant. Their breads are also great as are the cookies and pastries. I haven't tried the Italian ice yet, but will soon. The woman that runs the shop is very friendly & helpful and is the finishing touch of a nice bakery shopping experience.

I recently stopped by this bakery last week thursday.I have gone by the ferry multiple times and had never seen this place. I was craving sweets all day and I soon as I walked in I knew I was in the right place. The deserts are beautiful and are displayed with elegance. I wanted to try everything but, I went for the carrot cake because I heard it was cream cheese filling. Not only was the slice delicious but, was also very affordable. I will be buying my pastries from this shop from now on.
