Perreca’s Bakery opened in 1913 and has been run continuously by the same family for nearly 100 years. In fact, the coal-fired brick oven used to bake the famed Perreca’s bread has hardly ever had time to cool down during almost a century of turning out the hard-crusted bread that has made Perreca’s a destination for decades and an Upstate, New York Landmark.
Adjacent to the bakery is More Perreca’s Café serving authentic Italian meals reminiscent of any Italian Grandma’s kitchen. Using only the freshest ingredients, the best extra virgin olive oil we could find, and lots and lots of fresh garlic, everybody’s Italian when they eat at Perreca’s.
The bakery is open Monday-Friday 5:00am - 5:30pm; Saturdays 4:30am - 4:30pm. More Perreca’s, the adjacent café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day; Monday - Sunday 7:00am-8:00pm. Italian and domestic beers and Italian and Californian wines are available.
