Back in 2024, West Tampa\u2019s 114-year-old staple Alessi Bakery announced plans to relocate and expand<\/a> to a much larger space just a block down the street, and now they\u2019re finally ready to open the doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located at 3003 W Cypress St. in the historic Tampa Letter Carriers\u2019 Social Hall, the new facility will officially open Wednesday, April 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 18,000-square-foot space will feature all the classic handmade desserts, baked goods and Cuban sandwiches guests have come to love for the past century, along with a few upgrades. <\/p>\n

The new Alessi will sport a new quick service area serving breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Guests can also expect an expanded bakery space, and a dedicated cafe area featuring coffee, shakes, smoothies, soft-serve ice cream and more, according to a press release. Alessi will also now carry woodstone oven pizzas, a rotisserie chicken concept, as well as a full-service bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hours at the new Alessi bakery are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, and 9 .m.-4 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

A rep for the bakery told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that they do not know future plans for the old building, which will no remain open for service.<\/p>\n

This is just the second time the family-owned institution has moved since founder Nicolo Alessi opened its first location on Cherry Street in 1912.<\/p>\n
