Antonio's on Front Beach Road next to the Pasta Grill in Panama City Beach. That's the only one I know of.
yes! and its a wonderful bakery filled with goodies of all kinds! it is really a delight to see.
If you want fresh local pastries - look no further than Fabrice in WaterColor. French. and amazing.
Antonio's Bakery is GREAT!! It's worth the drive, west end of Front Beach Road
I Just went on their website and can't believe no one has ever told me about this place!!! I have been looking for a place like this for a year...I can't wait to get there.

go ahead and eat at the pasta grill next door while you're there. its really good Italian eating.
When I read the start of this post, my thought also was Antonio's in PCB. That is an amazing, NYC style Italian bakery. We first discovered that little plaza during 2007 bike week, stopped there for lunch. We liked it, stopped in other times for $1 draft beers served in icy mugs, always good food. Then we ventured over to Antonio's this past fall bike week and were very pleasantly surprised. I really felt like we were in a Manhatten or Queens bakery, the real thing. On one of our earlier visits to the Pasta Grill we talked to some of the staff and found out they are from NJ, moved down here when the founder of the restaurants was going to retire, but then he did not enjoy being retired as well as he thought he would. They apparently jumped back into the restaurant biz (I am pretty sure I recall they had run a restaurant in NJ). We get to reap the benefits. I think it's a neat place for a casual lunch, nice dinner, or a great bakery stop. We haven't tried Fat Clemenza's yet because every time we pull in there it is closed - I think it's been Sundays, but we have heard good things about it on this board and from others, so we will get in there soon I hope.

Antonios pasteries are great. I thought I was back home when I walked into the bakery. I thought I died and went into pastery heaven. I haven't seen pasteries like that in alot of years.
If anyone knows of Ferraras Bakery in NYC, we can give them a run for there money in the world of cannolis. So if you don't want to travel that far stop by and enjoy one of Enzo's cannolis. I am sure you will more than enjoy it if you like cannolis.

omg, they have homemade desserts on the menu every day, in addition to the cannoli. talk about dying and ascending straight into heaven.
