Bakeries are very hard to operate since the baker has to get to the store in the middle of the night to bake the goodies for the next day. As we know, bakery goods are not kept for more than a day or two.
Lots of overhead involved, too.
Publix has very good bakery goods. Gracie's pecan roll is an excellent choice. Can I come over for some?

That poor bakery in Wildwood (which was very good) opened just as 466A to 301 was being shut down, thus preventing a left hand turn. The bakery was on the right hand side. Very bad timing.
As for a good Italian bakery - I drove with friends to Inverness to an Italian bakery/deli, and the cookies were very good. The cannoli are filled to order. Didn't taste the Italian bread, as it has to be ordered the day before. Doesn't look like they do too much baking during the summer (understandable) but I will definitely check them out for my Italian cookies and pastries as the weather gets cooler. I'm tired of ordering my cookies from Circo's in Brooklyn. The shipping is more than the baked goods! As for good pastries at Publix...
