Best thing: The Spumoni Ice Cream and the Baked Alaska. Type of Food: Sicilian/Italian Desserts, Gelato, and Pastries. Review: Angelo Brocato is a classic stop if you're looking for great sweet treats. The Spumoni Ice Cream was incredibly good, and the Baked Alaska definitely didn't disappoint either--both are highly recommended. We also tried the Rum Custard; while it was perfectly fine, it just didn't quite live up to how great the other items were. On the upside, the prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the service was quick and efficient, meaning you won't have to wait long to get your sugar fix. Cons: Parking is highly limited and can be quite difficult to find around the shop. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up (Definitely would go back!) read more

Old school very Italian style ice cream & bakery desserts with cannoli, cakes& cookies. Clearly delineated line files past pastry case& ice creams as you order. We got 2 small ice creams (they let us split the small between 2 flavors, and come to find out small wasn't very small. Plenty for both of us. Thought about getting a large- but it would've been enough for 2. Tried the vanilla cannoli/pistachio ends.Delish! I want to return. Service is prompt, efficient and hardworking. Loved the experience. read more

Whether you're a local or a tourist, you should make a point to visit this institution, more than once if you can. This has been one of my favorite gelatos of all time for 10+ years, before I even lived here. My favorite flavor is the zuppa inglese. My beloved grandpa just passed, but his favorite, from 30+ years ago, was the spumoni. I'm so glad that this place has been around long enough that I can still eat my grandpa's favorite gelato and think about him. read more

Such a fun sweet treat to get in you're in the area. I got the strawberry cheesecake gelato and it was delicious. They had a tonnn of other options as well, including Italian ice and various pastries. The strawberry Italian ice was also very good and refreshing for a hot day. Definitely coming back! read more

What's not to like here? I would rather come here than to go to Disney World on vacation. I grew up coming here and sadly moved away but it's still as good as always. Friendly staff and cute coffee shop. The food is amazing. You can't go wrong here. read more

Just taking a stroll in Mid-City and came across a New Orleans LEGEND! Since 1905 this establishment has served Italian Ice Cream & Pastries. I ordered a small cappuccino gelato on a sugar cone from Lily . It was AMAZING. I'm going back for sure. read more

I always look forward to coming here when I visit New Orleans, sometimes my schedule doesn't permit but this time I was able to swing by! The people working here are very passionate and knowledgeable about everything and they are very proud to tell you what makes them so special. The shop is a very cute and cozy place. They have Gelato, an assortment of cookies, cakes and coffees. My plan was to bring back a ton of my favorites and freeze them but I found out that they weren't freezer friendly. They do have a few items you can order online that can be frozen. If you love a good bakery as much as I do then I would encourage you to check them out! read more

Such a cute establishment! I love vintage, romantic sweet shops. It was such a treat to visit and felt like a portal in time. We tried different cookies and gelato. My favorite was the anise cookie. The cantaloupe gelato was not very good. It had a sort of, unflattering imitation flavor. However, I enjoyed the coconut and rum raisin. Oh, ai also tried the blueberry crumble and that was wonderful. read more

I ordered a tiramisu and mini cannolis for an event and they were absolutely delicious!! Everything was devoured by the guest and there were no crumbs left! I really appreciate how simple and quick the order process was and I loved that they paid attention to the details and timing of my event to ensure the freshness of the product. Well done! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

My first time here and I will definitely be back. There's usually a line so expect a bit of a wait but there are plenty of staff to keep things moving. So much to choose from, it's hard to pick. My first time having a Cannoli and I want another soon. So delicious and fresh. My husband loves the Anise cookies. They have a large variety of gelato that I want to try next time as well as various Cheesecakes. There are a few tables inside and the store was clean. The only issue may be parking but we walked a block from the restaurant we had eaten at so no problem for us. Looking forward to my next time! read more

The last time I came here I left three stars and said I wouldn't return. A friend of mine convinced me to go back and try something else. They ordered their personal favorite items for me to try and some gelato as well. I have to say that whatever I had before just must not have been the best choice. The gelato was fantastic and the other desserts I tried were also really tasty. It still is not my favorite kind of dessert but I do think it deserves four stars. It seems to be a very popular place! read more

This place was recommended by a local. The item in this amazing shop was incredible. The gelatos and shaved ice were delicious and amazing. I highly recommend this shop if you're nearby. We ate at another restaurant and stopped in for dessert. Well worth the short walk. read more

I brought my niece, visiting from Utah, to try some Italian treats. There was a great selection of baked goods, gelato and drinks. We decided on several goodies to bring home. Everything was boxed with care and tied with string. Service was great, and we really had no wait time. The only thing that could be better is the parking sitch, but it worked out. read more

This is hands-down my favorite gelato place! Every time I come here the flavors are fresh, creamy, and so full of taste. I love that they rotate seasonal options -- the cantaloupe flavor mixed with strawberry was phenomenal. It's the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing, and honestly one of the best flavor combos I've ever had. The staff is always friendly and quick to offer samples if you're stuck choosing, and the shop itself has such a welcoming vibe. Whether you're grabbing a quick scoop to go or sitting down to enjoy it, it always feels like a treat. If you're a gelato lover (or even just an ice cream fan), this spot is a must-visit. Seasonal flavors keep it exciting, but the classics are amazing too. Cantaloupe + strawberry = perfection read more

We stopped in on Mother's Day with our family. Line was indicative of quality! We had several unique flavors of gelato, a few Italian Cake slices, cookies and cannoli's. Everything was fabulous as it has been since I was a small child. If you haven't tried it, it is a MUST! read more

Classic. Absolutely perfect. Love love love the fresh cannoli and all the other little desserts I get to try. Everything is incredibly reasonably priced. I usually get a little shot of espresso also. I've gone here forever, brought by my grandma at the end of an evening spent together and now going with friends, so I have so much nostalgia in it. Service is super helpful. The line can get a little kooky, especially with tourists taking pictures and such. I try to go every time I'm home now though and will recommend it to anyone visiting. Parking around the corner is never difficult either. read more

Angelo Brocato is a 100yr New Orleans institution, and we came here on an evening where the rain was pouring down but it was still busy with cars dropping off folks in front. We had planned to go to Creole Creamery in Lakeview but their power went out. I hadnt been here in decades altho my mom used to take me here often when i was growing up. Big gelato selection with Italian pastries including their famous cannoli that stacks up well against anything we've had in New York's Little Italy. Everything is reasonably priced. It's what I like best about this place and all of New Orleans - everyone can eat incredibly well every day, in casual & neighborly places. No barriers of needing reservations, spending a lot of money, or needing to wait in long line as is common in bicoastal areas. read more

Nice little Italian bakery serving up made to order cannolis and gelato. Found this place on Yelp during my trip to NOLA. A little out of the way if you were to use ride service if you're staying near the French quarter, but luckily I had a car to check it out. Line was long, but moved very fast. Service was quick, workers were patient and friendly. Definitely a hole in the wall spot in the city and would come back! read more

Shout to Angelo Brocato for always having such delicious gelato! They currently have seasonal flavors going on and I most recently tried the Pumpkin Gelato which was great. They also had a peppermint holiday flavor that just started. The staff here are always so kind and there are also tons of other pastries and desserts to choose from in addition to their gelato including cannolis and desserts that you can buy as gifts to take back home. read more

Christine and Ms. Pam were wonderful. They are very courteous and polite. The atmosphere is beautiful and the desserts are awesome!

Our second visit to this cute shop, last time it was a highlight of our trip. We got Gelato, mine was in the form of an affogato (Gelato topped with espresso and if desired, whipped ccream). My affogato was even better this time, I chose chocolate Gelato. So delicious. My boyfriend got stracciatella (Italian chocolate chip) Gelato. They were both delicious. We grabbed some pastries to go including a cannoli (filled fresh and adorned with pistachios) sfogliatella (flaky pastry filled with a creamy filling and citrus) and a strawberry Napoleon (new to me). The service is great, they carefully packed the box and brought the affogato out to the table as well. It's liked you've stepped back in time when you're inside. Cute little twisted metal ice cream parlor table and chairs. They also sell packaged Italian cookies and sweets to go. read more

Very happy customer service and excellent treats. Went on a Wednesday evening and still a great selection of delights. My favorite was the almond cookies. read more

Cannolis of course! Probably some of the best I've had Still the only cannoli that is king is in Philadelphia, but these are certainly near the top. Old family owned business, small dining area / shop, they have a bunch of desserts, pre-packaged items, and ice cream you can enjoy there or take to go. They have some cannoli that are ready to go, but they mostly make them by hand, especially if you're ordering like a dozen. They have classic flavors, chocolate, vanilla, and pistachio, topped with powdered sugar. The shells are nicely cooked and not too hard, nor stale and soft. The cream is not too sweet either and has a nice flavor. I personally wish there were more chocolate chips inside and that it was slightly sweeter, but very good overall. read more

This place is great! No trip to New Orleans is complete without a stop at Angelo Brocato's. They have a large selection of gelato flavors and pastries. The folks working behind the counter and very friendly and helpful. The dining room is not very big (about 15 tables) and in the summer it can be very very busy, but the gelato is worth the wait. Also, you gotta have a cannoli while you're here ... they are fantastic! Check these guys out! read more

Angelo Brocato - Spumoni! 4 flavors in each triangular log... the coffee? Also perfect! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a New Orleans classic and a must visit!!! This place has some good gelato (and they have been doing gelato since way before "gelato" become cool) and tasty Italian "ices" that are great during the hot times of the year. They have great Italian cookies, cannolis, pies, and all sorts of other tasty desserts. They probably have my favorite espresso of anyplace in New Orleans and quite possibly the entire United States. The best time to visit is during Christmas when they go INSANE with so many great treats!!! It can get crowded at night so make sure to plan accordingly and it is ALWAYS a good time to pay a tasty visit to Brocato's :) My video review of Angelo Brocato is here: https://youtu.be/wm5ulT7SpS4 read more
