A Taste of Valley Traditions

Premo’s Bakery in Wilkes-Barre is an old-school bakery that’s known for their traditional ethnic treats. This bakery has been a staple in the Parsons neighborhood for years, and their homemade specialties are sure to spark some nostalgia.

Premo’s Bakery whips up fresh-baked pastries like cookies, brownies, pies, cakes, breads, and more. Their nut rolls and poppyseed rolls are popular too, especially around the holidays.

They also make ethnic specialties like homemade pierogies and pagach. The pasties—a snack that dates back to the coal mining days—always sell out fast. They’re made with meat and vegetables wrapped in a soft pocket of dough.
