Perreca's Bakery first opened in the Schenectady community back in the year 1914, and has since been continuously run by the same family for more than one hundred years. The old, coal-fired brick oven itself has been making hard-crusted, delicious bread for around a century and has made the bakery a destination for several decades, as well as a landmark of Upstate New York. Perreca's Bakery has also been voted by both customers and food reviewers as the “best Italian bakery” within the Upstate region. The signature dish here is the “Eggs in Purgatory,” which are “egg pouches” in marinara sauce.
