Bronx Bakery and Custom Cakes on Intervale Avenue
National Bakery has kept the counter on Intervale Avenue warm since before sunrise, seven mornings a week. Dominican breads, tres leches soaked in dulce de leche, and cakes built to order for the birthdays and quinceaneras of Longwood and Hunts Point.
A Counter the Neighborhood Grew Up On
National Bakery has been part of the Intervale Avenue block for years, the kind of shop where the line moves slow because everyone stops to talk. Neighbors come in for a small cup of oatmeal before work, a Cubano at lunch, or a full sheet cake for a christening the same week.
Everything in the case is baked on site. The tres leches is the one people drive across the Bronx for, soaked heavy and finished with a real dulce de leche, not a syrup. Regulars order it by the box for holidays, and Uber Eats and DoorDash keep it moving to those who cannot make it in.
Ask for the tres leches by name. It is what brings people back, and what most of the block orders first when a birthday is coming up.
Tres Leches and Cakes to Order
The tres leches is the house specialty, made with real dulce de leche and served by the slice or the full sheet. Birthday and wedding cakes are built to order, decorated and written to what you ask for at the counter or over the phone.
