No thank you. Lasalle is by far the most expensive and overrated bakery in the state. No Italian grandma would tell you to go to lasalle.

Go to Deluise, better and cheaper in every way.

I agree that LaSalle is overpriced, but I must admit I’ve never eaten anything from Deluise that impressed me. What would you recommend? Maybe I’ll swing by in the morning and give it another go.

Their donuts are so good. And there sweet bread? Forget about it

Excellent, thanks for the suggestions! Every once in a while I like to swing by a bakery for breakfast on the weekend. I need to do it more often. Chain donut shops aren’t the vibe.

The limoncello cake and meatball calzones are my faves there.

my extended family who are generationally Providence and very Italian love LaSalle, for what it's worth. I've only been semi-recently introduced so I can't stake a claim

They aren’t terrible. It’s just overrated and overpriced.

I tried their zeppoles one year, and they were not good. It's weird that they get so much hype
