    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!

    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.

    Bug and Bear's Cannoli wedding cake

    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!!!!

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

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

    Espresso Cannoli

    The new espresso cannoli just surpassed the cannolis in Boston! After my first sample a few weeks ago, I knew i had to come back! The flavors and texture consistency were SPOT ON! The owners are just so kind. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

    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.

    That creek brûlée though!

We came on Memorial Day around 3pm, and we waited in a decent line. It was fast-moving, and thankfully, we managed to get a table in the indoor seating area right away. To-go was not an option because we'd ordered the signature mango sticky rice shaved ice, which is HEFTY. It's like eating a dessert meal in terms of serving size, but it's light and fresh enough to follow a Thai food lunch from one of the nearby restaurants (which is what we did). The mango sticky rice shaved ice was delicious. If you like either mango sticky rice or Taiwanese mango shaved ice (or Korean bingsoo), you will love this. It's served with condensed milk, sticky rice, and additional mango on the side to add on as you eat. It's definitely enough for at least 2-3 people to share. We also had a couple orders of gelato, which surpassed our expectations. One of us, who spent 4 months in Italy, said it was some of the best gelato she'd ever had. Standout flavors included jasmine matcha and Earl Grey Thai tea. Do yourself a favor and stop by! We got pretty lucky with parking because all the nearby meters were free for Memorial Day, and I can imagine parking might be difficult at night. But this dessert is well worth a parking hassle!

    love kanomwaan so much - probably my most visited dessert spot ever (12x since 12/2024)…read more everyone is so friendly and helpful here :) parking is rough at most hours but i always just do metered parking and walk 5-10 mins over. it's always worth it! cute ambience and small seating area - gets packed later into the evening.

These trompe-l'œil pastries--French desserts designed to "deceive the eye" by looking like real fruit--are as impressive as they are delicious.

Hands down worth the drive, it's the best dessert option they have. Creamy balanced flavors, well layered, and with a texture that is irresistibly fun to eat. I love the heart container. We bought almost all of every piece dessert except for two along with the ice cream bites. Needless to say, we were not impressed. Each pastry had the same lingering aftertaste which was odd, the fresh strawberry topping was old, the gelatin like texture did not complement the watery centers, and the outside chocolate shell had no flavor. Of course, if you like these details of texture, you may dig it! Just definitely not for me. The ice cream bites resemble a frozen yogurt like texture and although I appreciate the all natural fruit product, the flavors didn't quite come through. The space inside is small, clean, and cozy. We weren't really warmly welcomed but did receive a kind goodbye after we picked up our order and had tipped generously. The Togo boxes could use improvement as they were so flimsy and hard to store in the fridge. The carry out bag is SO nice though. We're happy to have supported the business but will not drive out there again. Try your luck, it is fun to explore!
