First off...I hate you guys. Only because I have worked as a pastry chef for 15 years and I was never NEVER able to get that cannoli cream as smooth and tasting like yours. But I digress. I've been in the mood for a good pastry that wasn't overly sweet and cannolis always hit that mark...usually. Thankfully your recipe was not overly sweet and incredibly satisfying with that crunchy shell. You ruined me. Hope you are happy. Your service was incredible, and having a cannoli at a farmers market was peak. read more

Bug & Bear’s Cannoli - The churro and Filipino bbq skewers were good, but that cannoli was the best for dessert. - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Everyone talks about the cannoli, which are beyond amazing, but don't forget the zeppole! They're light and flavorful. Love the hint of lemon. Haven't had that in zeppole before. read more

We recently tried them at the Downtown Monrovia Farmers Market one Friday evening after dinner. Very impressed with their freshly made, freshly piped cannolis. Although it is a little pricey, but one would expect that from a food truck at a big event, the Oreo cannoli that we tried was delicious and a very healthy portioned size. The workers there were very personable and answered all our questions that we had. Will definitely be back the next time we see them around! read more

I had the please of meeting the guys and their amazing treats at the watermelon festival. All it took was a little sample that they dropped off while we were watching the band. That completely sold it for us. Of course, it was watermelon flavored, hence the festival.... Just that simple bite made a huge impact... We ordered two to share, the pistachio and cookies and creme. Let's just say that first bite, wow. The creme filling mixed with the crunchy cannoli and then topped with the extra toppings. It was just the right amount of YES for an afternoon out. The flavors were perfect together with each bite, it was better than the other. Clearly that order wasn't enough. We ordered 4 more to go as it was meant to be shared with friends. This time, basically all the flavors. Presentation was clean and simple. Nicely arranged in their box with the cute logo on top. Not only that, the guys were such sweethearts. Friendly and the cutest. If you haven't heard of them before, it's a must. Plus, it's in the city so that's perfect.... Highly recommend them and will definitely be back for more. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I didn't actually get to try their food. But I wanted to give a big shout to them. I was at the Larchmont street fair this past Sunday and one of my sons got a big gash on his finger. We were running around trying to find first aid. One of the Bug & Bear Cannoli employees saw what was going on and brought over their first aid kit to help us out. It was very thoughtful and helpful and they were really nice. I am sure their cannolis are great too! read more

At the farmer's market in Monrovia? Do yourself a HUGE favor and find Bug & Bear's Cannoli! The cannoli's are sublime. This is our second time, and needless to say they just get better and better. We purchased the three cannoli pack, which comes in a nice, sturdy box with their logo front and center. For the sweets, 1 pistachio, 1 traditional and 1 pumpkin pie. The pastry is loaded with cream that is not too sweet, light and criminally delicious. The pastry itself holds up well against the cream without getting soggy, yet is delicate enough to crumble / melt in your mouth. The pistachio flavor comes through nicely. Traditional was exactly that: old school delicious cannoli with mini chocolate chips that hit like a serious dark chocolate experience. The pumpkin pie was the best reimagined pumpkin pie you ever had, with the pumpkin cream the star again. Yum. So go. Go now. And meet the fellas. Super friendly and just good to talk to. Don't know what to call them yet, but I'm sure that after I've had 2 or 39 cannoli's more, I'll know their names! read more

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. read more

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!!!! read more

I truly never write review. But this is a business that deserves a review. Despite being Italian, I've never been a big fan of cannolis. When I was a kid, everyone raved about my great-aunt's cannolis (not for me). When I was going to school in Boston, everyone said I had to try the cannolis at the world famous Mike's Pastry (again not for me). So you can imagine how blown away I was when, on a random Thursday walking through a farmers market, I came across Bug & Bear's Cannoli food truck and tried a free sample. Wow! Count me a convert to the church of cannoli. Thank you Bug & Bear for sharing your family recipe with the greater LA area! read more

They forgot my order. At least three people in line behind me got their orders before me, and when the guy finally talked to me, he said, "chocolate chip or cherry?" I had ordered an oreo cannoli. read more

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. read more

Their gluten free offerings are no joke! The cannoli lasted longer in the car ride home than it did once I got inside the house! One side was a delightfully bliss-filled combo of caramel and walnuts, the other side, the oh-so-dreamy classic flavors of chocolate and cherry. These are the perfect way to indulge in one of life's richer and sweeter moments. read more
