We get an early start on St. Joseph's Day by taste testing zeppoles
Light and Creamy: Vienna Bakery The airiest version of the bunch, Vienna Bakery used a light and fluffy creampuff-like pastry to encase the creamy vanilla filling within. This zeppole had great flavor and filled that sweet tooth craving without leaving you feeling too weighed down. Overall, a great take on a classic. 110 Maple Avenue, Barrington. 401-245-2355

Fruit Flavor: Fatulli's Gourmet Bakery & Deli Lemon flavored custard with a hint of hazelnut flavor set the stage for this zeppole from Fatulli’s Gourmet Bakery and Deli. The thick crust was reminiscent in flavor and texture of an egg biscuit, which created a unique flavor and made this non-traditional version one to remember. 909 East Main Road, Middletown. 401-847-5166

A Creative Twist: Ma's Donuts The flavors from Ma’s Donuts, the famous East Bay donut baker, do not stray from their specialty. The “bun” in this zeppole sandwich was created with a tasty french cruller, and the filling reminded us of sweet treats from our youth. Topped with whipped cream and a cherry, this was one pretty (and tasty) zeppole. 78 West Main Road, Middletown. 401-841-5750

The Classic: Scialo's County Bakery One experienced Italian staffer declared this one, from Scialo’s County Bakery, the most traditional zeppole of the bunch. The flavor combinations in this pastry made us think of our favorite chocolate eclair, without the chocolate. A great treat in its own right. 10 Olney Street, Seekonk. 508-336-8312
