Breakfast, brunch, lunch, and baked goods are the stars of the show at Guzzo’s BakeHouse in Haworth. The eatery offers both dine-in and grab-and-go options that include sandwiches, treats, and more. The entire menu offers made from scratch items, giving each meal a homemade taste.
Owner Giuliana Guzzo says the 1,700-square foot spot has a “somewhat retro style” and atmosphere. (Giuliana co-owns Guzzo’s BakeHouse with her husband, Ralph.) For instance, they play Frank Sinatra along with episodes of I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners throughout the day. “We’re huge fans of both shows,” Giuliana says. “In addition, in a world with so much sadness, we would like people to laugh.”
