    HOLY CANNOLI!!! We decided to take a walk down to the Farmer's Market down at the Northridge Mall. As we walked up and down the aisles we turned the corner and saw a cannoli truck!!! WHAT?! It is SO rare to find good cannoli here in California! Being from the East Coast, cannoli are a staple food item to ones diet, and a huge part of the food pyramid! ;) Some people do not understand how to make a good cannoli and sometimes the filling can be too sweet, or they don't fill the shell completely. This was NOT the case for Bug and Bear! They literally make the most perfect cannoli EVER! We loved that they have different selections of cannoli as well! Matthew and Joseph were literally SO sweet! As soon as we approached the truck to look at the menu they asked if we wanted to sample the cannoli! My girlfriend sampled the chocolate chip and I sampled the pistachio. Both tasted phenomenal! So of course, we HAD to order one to share, because to be honest these are like HUGE cannoli. We ended up ordering the traditional cannoli with chocolate chips and two cherries! We loved their energy and their shirts they have to purchase are SO adorable! They quickly whipped up our order and called us over to the window to check our order. To our surprise they put a little rainbow sour belt in the middle of the cannoli to make it a Pride cannoli! It was literally the perfect touch and it was much appreciated! The cannoli tasted so delicious. The filling was made perfectly. Matthew let us know that the recipe is from Joseph's family from Sicily! When he told us that, this literally elevated the cannoli so much more! They really take pride in their business and make sure that they give the best customer service WHILE providing an exceptional dessert treat! Everything about this cannoli had us smiling from the cute little touch of the "rainbow" to the delicious crunch of the shell, and of course the yummy filling! The best part was how the shell held up. This was a very excellent quality shell because it didn't crumble in your hand when taking a bite, and it was not soggy one bit! It was the perfect vehicle for this dessert! Matthew and Joseph were so sweet and let us know about their free delivery for orders! They also are at many different events so if you follow them on Instagram you're able to see where you can meet them for the best cannoli experience ever! Definitely go and check them out, you will not be disappointed! You definitely get the bang for your buck here so don't be afraid of the prices! Grab yourself a cannoli and sit back and be prepared to be mind-blown!

    Our yummy Oreo cannoli from their food truck at the Monrovia Friday night market!

    Bug & Bears is a sweet family-owned company making delicious homemade cannolis around the greater LA area. I found them at our local Friday night farmers market in Monrovia where they had their little food truck. They offer the traditional cannoli flavor as well as some specialty flavors - the night we visited them their special flavor was s'mores and it looked amazing! But we ended up going with the Oreo and it was so good! They even have an option to build your own cannoli! Their cannolis may seem a little pricey at $10 a pop but they are HUGE!! Absolutely massive - and delicious homemade yumminess so the quality is definitely there as well. One cannoli is more than enough for two people imo. The couple that own the company and make the cannolis were running the truck and they were SO nice and friendly - such a pleasant experience. Their truck is adorable with very well thought out displays. In addition to making all the local LA farmers market rounds, they offer advanced ordering and pickup at an LA location as well. We really enjoyed the delectable cannoli they made us and will definitely keep an eye out for them any time we visit the local farmers market!

    I tried Bug and Bear's Cannoli at a wedding recently, where they were served on a stunning 5-tier cake and honestly, they were the best I've ever had. The filling was super creamy and homemade-tasting, and the shell was nice and crunchy with chocolate chips that added a fun little twist. I went back to grab their pistachio flavor that was amazing and really different in a good way. Joe and Matt, the owners, were super friendly and fun to talk to, which made the whole experience even better. HIGHLY recommend them for any event!!!!

    They were at the Granada Hills Farmer's market. Very friendly and made a great cannoli. I'll have to try the different things they have next time.

    Holy deliciousness! Hands down best cannolis in the area. Will definitely get again. Best of all the owners are so sweet and accommodating.

    Absolutely delicious and the perfect treat on a hot summer day! Filled to the brim (and more) with delicious cream and covered in toppings. Friendly and welcoming service with a smile. You can tell that they really care about what they're making for you!!!

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would! It was my first time trying these cannolis from here and let me just say they're amazing! I've tried the cannolis in Boston, but Bug & Bear's Cannoli are by far the best I've ever had. You can tell these are made with love and definitely worth coming back for. The owners are so kind and from the start were very welcoming. If you want to experience the greatest cannoli you'll ever try, this is the place. They are worth the drive from wherever you are. I will be back for more!

    AmaZing cannolis! My Bostonian husband is a cannoli snob and it was impossible to find one in LA for the time we have lived here. After looking for 10years, we have finally found the place that meets his cannoli standards. Chef's kiss

    6/5 stars! GENEROUSLY filled and you can choose different toppings for each side. The shells are crispy perfection. I will be returning!

    The perfect Pistachio Cannoli.
    Norge Y.

    I walked into a Silver Lake bar and was immediately asked if I'd like a dessert. So, I looked at what was available and ordered a pistachio cannoli. It most definitely was the best cannoli I had had in a very long time! At most bakeries, the cannolis are already assembled so the filling has been sitting in the pastry for who-knows how long. Bug & Bear filled the cannoli to order so not only was the cream filling absolute perfection, the pastry dough was crisp and just the right consistency. Before leaving, I ordered another to go for my mom because I knew she'd love it.

She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

There were endless selection of salt bread and different flavoured buns which all looked delicious. As we were browsing and deciding, the lady at the counter was kind enough to offer us a sample of the butter rice cake. The butter tteok tasted pretty good on the spot so we bought a pack of 5 back home along with a hot and spicy salt bread and corn soboro. The butter rice cakes were already cold and hard when we got home, the inside was dense and chewy in a bad way. I didn't want them to go to waste so I tried reheating them in the over for a few minutes. It was warm but the texture never recovered, everything just got more dense and hard. The hot and spicy salt bread looked like a winner, but when we bit into it, the bread was just crunchy and overly buttery without a lot of flavour. The inside did not have the soft pillowy texture you'd expect from salt bread. The filling was a budget hot dog and some corn mixed with mayo. We cut the bread in half and my boyfriend said his piece had way too much mayo and mine barely had any. I grabbed the corn soboro thinking it would be delicious since it was corn season but was the most disappointed by it. I reheated the bread again to get the cookie top to crisp up. The soboro top didn't have a lot of crunch or flavour, it was just a layer of sweetness with no texture. The corn cream filling was not good, the corn was dehydrated and had no flavour at all. It honestly tasted a bit like canned corn that's over baked, I ended up scooping it out because the bread was better without it. Maybe it's better to go earlier when the baked goods are fresh and eat it there instead of taking it home.

However, when we got back to the hotel, we were able to re-cook the sandwich and it turned out fine. I would still give this restaurant chance, especially since their baguettes and pastries are delicious. Disappointing. Sadly not what it used to be. Bottega Louis WAS our favorite go to restaurant when we visit LA. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We ordered the Louis Salad with blue crab and Croque Madame. While the salad was as delicious as I remembered, the Croque Madame was completely undercooked and the bread was soggy. We returned the sandwich as asked them to grill it longer. It took so long to recook that we had to leave and they gave it to us in a togo box without even an apology. Even the bread that they serve with the meal has gone downhill. We ended up buying a baguette. At least the baguettes are still decent. But overall a disappointing lunch.
