Holy Cannnoli is the best! I worked first with Heather who is the assistant of Jamie (owner) and worked on a plan that worked best for my sister's Santacon 40th birthday at Fuze! They have a vast amount of menu options and cuisines, as well as desserts. I kept going back and forth on the amount of guests, and what to serve and Heather was super responsive giving me suggestions and prompt in getting back to me right away. There was one issue with us getting a hot chocolate bar catered by Holy Cannoli, and Jamie came in and helped us resolve the issue right away. Their team was prompt in setting up on the day of, cute Christmas themed decor, and presentation of each dish was on point, and clean up was a breeze for them. Our guests enjoyed their meal, especially the cannolis and we were happy to have them cater our party. read more

Jamie and her team are AMAZING! And that is an absolute understatement. We had Holy Cannoli do dinner, appetizers, dessert and bartending for our wedding and we could not be happier. The food was delicious. All of my guests are still talking about it. The service was amazing and the presentation was beautiful. I truly can't put into words how amazing everything looked and tasted if you're thinking about booking this place for an event don't even think about it just book! read more

I can't recommend Holy Cannoli highly enough and would give them 10 stars if I could! We had a fundraising event, and they catered it brilliantly for us. We were incredibly impressed with the creative presentation and high quality of the dishes (delicious!) that we chose. Working with Heather and Jamie was a delight, filled with positive energy and a "can-do" attitude. The fact that they offer a one-stop source for hosting an event (i.e., table rentals, florals, etc.) was tremendously helpful. So, the next time you're looking for an amazing caterer, Holy Cannoli will exceed your expectations as they did for us!! read more

This is a review of their catering service. We selected them to serve brunch for our baby shower. Customer service was great throughout the process leading up to the big day, communicating regularly with my mom. They showed up on time, set up a beautiful spread in the kitchen and dining room, and then came back to clean it all up later that day. My mom loved not having to worry about a lot of the chores associated with serving food/drink. She said that Jamie and Renee were great to work with! Our menu included things like crepes, fruit, a charcuterie board, cannolis (of course), rosemary potatoes, chicken and waffles, and monte cristos. They also set up a "momosa" bar, which was a nice touch for the occasion. We were thoroughly impressed and happy with our selections! read more

We contacted Holy Cannoli for catering of a school luncheon event. Jamie, the owner, was great to work with from start to finish. She was able to set up a menu that served all range of guests including vegan and gluten-free. The food was amazingly delicious! We had so many people stop by to ask who had catered the event because they wanted seconds! She was quick to respond to any questions we had and very helpful on the day of the event. I will definitely reach out to Jamie and Holy Cannoli for any future catering event and look forward to stopping by the restaurant to have lunch. read more

Since we just got back from Boston I wanted to try out the cannolis here, since my memory of Mike's Pastry and Moderns cannolis is as fresh as it can be. The biggest difference from Holys cannolis to the famous ones in Boston is the cream, it's not as thick in texture. The cream is a bit sweeter and much more smoother, lighter mouth feel. I actually like the texture and this cream style better than the ones in Boston. The pastry shell of the cannoli is crispy and crunchy, the right ratio with the cream filling. All made to order so no soggy pastry or dried up cream, super fresh! The traditional cream is beautiful but my favorite is the pistachio cream. Wow, it's nutty and salty combination in the filling is the perfect balance to the sweetness and crunchiness from the additional pistachio toppings. I couldnt leave without trying that Cubano Italiano panini so at 9:15am I was eating cannolis and a Cubano sandwich lol. Let me say, it's a damn good breakfast. The sandwich is salty, spicy and the bread roll is not dense more airy and soft even after being toasted. The meats were tender and flavorful. I need to try the muffaletta sandwich next time. At 9am let me tell ya parking was a cinch! The customer service is quick and friendly! Give this place some support and love, check them out! read more

Yoooo! This place is legititits! Lemme tell you a story: Once upon a time a few weeks ago we decided to brave the storm and hit the town out for a night of tomfoolery and inebriation. We're all fully vaccinated, so I felt safe enough, whatever. We are chillin' in the back of a club and we run into three lovely ladies, conversation is flowing, yadda yadda and Yelp comes up, and then one of them tells us she runs a place with her mama, come check it out sometime. So we did. Walking through the front door is like walking through a portal into a super cute, quaint, little restaurant with amazing decor (décor? Silly word. Silly language). That's cool, that's awesome, but man, the selections! I got a pulled pork samsquanch (on special) and it was amazeballz! I totally forgot to take a picture because I was starving, but I did get all the sweeties, so check em out. Holy Cannoli, yooooo!! I haven't tried them all, but the pistachio on was AWESOME! But hey, have you ever had pistachio-anything that you didn't love? Didn't think so. And these guys DO. IT. JUSTICE. Genesis-style. Oh wait, that's actually the chick's name, OH SH******T!!!! Genesys, how cool! Definitely my favourite Justice song. Anyway, get your fat butt over here and try everything. :D read more

Make sure when ya stop by you welcome them to the neighborhood, it's been a long time coming! Anyways a friend and I were passing 4th street when we saw that they finally opened and immediately pulled over to walk on over. There were people outside respecting and following the social distant guidelines which was greatly appreciated. They even had place markers in the front of their shop to space people out. Once we were inside you'll notice the homey vibe the shop gives off. Very warm and mellow. Which would've been ideal for people that live in downtown to come and grab a coffee or even a cannoli. Which is why we're here. THE CANNOLI'S. This isn't your traditional cannoli. Here at Holy Cannoli, they went above and beyond by incorporating various fillings and toppings to these bad boys. I personally got the mini cannolis to try a partial of the variety they had. Pistachio was an unusual but welcoming flavor which I enjoyed. Oreo was everything I had thought it would be. Burnt almond was the star of the show for my taste buds. Lastly, original checked off on my list for what a cannoli standard should be in every way. All of them were also just the right amount of sweetness. Also note that they have other items to indulge in, I just had happen to get cannoli's this day. What was nice too is they came out to people and greeted them with their order along with a bit of chit chat which was nice to show they really care about their customers and business. read more

I need to just write about this little gem on the corner of 4th and Santa Clara why? They are a small business that serves not only great customer service and fresh baked goodies but made to order cannolis what??!! You need to stop in, not just for the baked goods but made to order sandwiches... the gal at the register was super helpful and friendly.. we all need that during covid... so many reasons to check them out but also rare finds like Casa Q Mexican chocolate and Chef Kaylas caramel whisky sauce... can't say enough... try them out. Parking on the street but enjoy a brisk walk and check them out (said it enough? Well then do it hahahaha)! Please survive this pandemic we will need you when this is over!! read more

We had a phenomenal experience with Holy Cannoli! Jamie came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Our event was beautiful, and the service, food, ambiance in general was amazing. From beginning to end, Jamie worked hard to give us all that we asked for, and literally went above and beyond. She offers exceptional value. All of her staff are professional and friendly, and despite the crazy heat wave, I never heard a word of complaint from any staff. Thank you Jamie! read more

Had their breakfast burrito today and I was pleasantly surprised. Been passing by this spot on my way to work for some time now and I decided to try it out today for a late breakfast. It was fire! Not the biggest breakfast burrito around but I'll take quality over quantity any day. The place seems super chill and would definitely be good for some kind of coffee date. A must try if you're downtown! Can't wait to try their cannoli! read more

One of my friends brought over a mix of "Holy Cannoli" Cannolis the other day and I must say that I did enjoy them. 3.5 stars. After eating a couple. I decided to look them up on Yelp. I looked at the menu and noted that they make a Monte Cristo sandwich so I made a point of making a Trek to Santa Clara St. in downtown San Jose which all the locals know that this area is a hell hole. But alas the Montecristo sandwich was calling me " that and a cannoli" I thought it would make my day "after spending all day under the hood of my car" When I got in the area I managed to find a paid parking space about a block away. As I walked up I noted a big sign that reads "Grand Opening" as I walked in, my excitement grew all the more. I saw a gentleman behind the counter making some cannolis so I Patiently waited to be greeted, about 3 minutes later a Girl wearing a " designer PINK labeled shirt" asked me what I wanted? I asked " are you still making sandwiches" her reply "yes" so I asked for the Monte Cristo, she told me that they no longer make that, whaaat? So I quickly looked at the menu "like less than 7 seconds" and ordered the Muffaletta. Which comes with prosciutto, salami, ham, peppers, and roasted red peppers, and, cheese. I also ordered 1 large chocolate chip cannoli and one maraschino cherry cannoli. As "Miss PINK" was about to ring me up I remembered that wifey wanted a cannoli as well but for the life of me I couldn't remember what flavor so I gave her a ring. After hanging up the phone and before I could even tell "Miss PINK" The last cannoli I wanted. "Miss PINK" told me to put my face mask on!!?? Ummm it is on and it's over my mouth and nose, "what do you want me to do, pull it over my eyeballs? " Alas I could not do that because I was wearing GLASSES!!" So I pulled it as high as it would go to appease her. She then rang me up "did not give me my Credit card receipt and didn't even ask my name for the order " As I was walking out "no patrons in the restaurant" I tried to take a few pictures of the inside to help "SUPPORT" their business. "I'm talking like not even 5 seconds" MISS PINK told me that I had to go outside and wait for my food. So I walked out and checked in on Yelp, my Yelp app told me I could get a free cannoli was my first purchase, so I started to walk back inside " now there was one patron inside, NOTE: there are 3, six foot waiting area space stickers on the floor for Covid. As I stepped foot inside "Miss PINK" immediately spoke up and told me I could not come inside. I began to tell her that I had...... "never finished my statement she cut me off" and said "and I quote" we no longer honor that anymore. I was like what?!!!!! I have honestly never EVER felt so disrespected from a business in my life!! I turned around and walked back out, as I sat outside waiting for my order I noticed that more patrons walked in and waited on the stickers, as I did and you know what? Miss PINK DID NOT SAY A WORD TO THEM!! at this point I was completely dumbfounded, I just shook my head in disbelief. "Was I to grubby for you? Did my NHRA face mask look scary? Did I cut you off at a red light somewhere? Did I kick your cat? PLEASE TELL ME!! Surly Miss PINK I don't remember you or what I did to you to deserve your scorn! You get "negative "10 stars. NOW TO BE FAIR: there was some redemptive qualities to this business one gentleman that works their "with a black and gray tat on his arm" came out after 10 minutes and asked me what it was that I ordered? He was super polite and respectful and even came back out again to let me know that it would be just a few more minutes. "which just left me wondering all the more about MISS PINK." He gets 10 stars. Now for the food: The cannolis are 3.5 stars, crunchy shells and creamy filling. The sandwich 2.5 stars "solid C grade" the bread was soft in the middle and crispy on the outside, lots of ham and very little prosciutto and salami at $13.50 I felt it was slightly overpriced for the quality. BOTTOM LINE: I'm not going back nor do I recommend this establishment. The sandwich is mediocre and while the cannolis are good I can find them elsewhere for the same price and quality AND be treated with courtesy and respect!!!. read more

The word is out on this little secret hideaway as there is a line out the door which is wonderful to see for a small new business. I made the mistake of trying to trying to come here for the first time the day before Valentine Day so everything seemed a bit stressed. Bring some patience as you can tell this is going to be an amazing place. The chef was so nice and came out to answer questions and the front staff was so nice. However I never did get to order anything I really wanted as some guy in front me took over 20 minutes to order and they were closing soon. so I just grabbed a cupcake that was still in the window and some chocolate covered strawberries. I'll be back for sure as the house made cannolis that I did see looked heavenly. read more

After having a rough morning, I made it to Holy Cannoli! We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, pulled pork sandwich, 2 coffees, 2 macarons, 2 mini original cannoli. We took the order home, so I didn't realize that the cannoli didn't get put in the order . The coffees, so good! I got the almond joy, iced. My daughter got the queens cannoli cream cold brew, yum! The spaghetti and meatballs were so good too, nothing left! My bf loved his sandwich, it a huge portion! Can't complain about anything, the macarons (chocolate and creme brûlée) perfect for after the spaghetti. We will be back, everything was amazing, service was great too.

Had seen the signage for HC for a while now and I was confusing it with 2 bakery street cafe a couple of doors down. That place abruptly shut like 2 years ago maybe? That place was also pretty good! I stopped by after getting my 1 month bicycle check up and saw HC was OPEN, I found this place very charming and cute! The store just opened up and they had very little pastries and I got a Cannoli Cinnamon roll with fresh sugar coated, crystallized pecans! The roll itself was warmed up and pretty big too so with a warm pumpkin spice latte that was was the perfect duo for me. Bread-y, doughy, soft creamy cinnamon-y good ness. This was my over the top sugar cheat snack for sure and totally worth it!!! The latte is not yet on the menu, but they can make one on request. It was very well balanced and kudos to the older lady that made it for me. All and all I am very glad that in the orange tier HC decided to open up this cute little shop and give us a treat! We are so literally loved in San Jose! Enso forever +- Covid friendly. Cold brew. Samples? They are in a mini take out cup. Muffins, sprinkle cookies. Beans to go. Outside tables. _Happy San Jose! read more

This review is for Holy Cannoli's Thanksgiving turkey dinner. I learned they were going to be offering it from Tony and Alba's Pizza. Since times are tough, especially for a business still in the soft opening phase for their street location, I wanted to try them out and support them. Their portions were generous. My turkey was juicy. It was accompanied by mashed sweet and regular potatoes and gravy along with a side of ravioli stuffed with butternut squash, stuffing and roasted Brussels sprouts in a balsamic glaze. Dessert was a scrumptious pumpkin pie and an apple pie in a magical soft crust. Everything was made with high quality ingredients. My highest compliment is that everything tasted home made. I called in my order the Monday before Thanksgiving and it was ready for pickup on Wednesday. Someday soon, I hope to try one of their soon-to-be world famous cannolis! Grazie Jamie! read more

I had the pleasure of attending an outdoor barbeque function today at the Italian American Heritage Foundation on 4th St. in the Hensley Historical District. It was catered by Holy Cannoli and I am happy to say the food was delicious. The chicken was absolutely succulent, warm and juicy. The spaghetti side was especially surprisingly pleasing. We obviously tend to be somewhat critical there. The spaghetti sauce was seasoned beautifully, not laden with every aromatic spice known to man. The tomatoes and olive oil used were clearly high quality. The focaccia garlic bread was a treat and the salad was fresh, crisp and beautifully and interestingly dressed. Nothing boring here! Of course the dessert was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. These were among the very best cannoli I have ever tasted. The shell was crisp, tasty and not overly sweet. The filling was delightfully creamy... just mouth-wateringly delicious. We appreciated the careful individual packaging so we could pick our meal up or sit down and eat it at the foundation at outdoor tables. Good job!!! read more

Before I tried cannoli's with flavored fillings I was happy to pass on them because they were meh. But you flavor the cannoli filling and dip them in chocolate chips, NOW YOU ARE TALKING MY LANGUAGE. We first tried these a few years ago in Boston and are very happy this trend has come to the Bay Area. The only bummer for me was that we could not try the expresso flavor (not all fillings are available all days), but that gives us something to come back for. Chocolate filled/chocolate dipped: 4.5/5. Great combination. The woman who took are order (the owners daughter) was very nice and helpful, and happy to see them practicing good Covid-19 measures. read more

[Thank you Jon for bringing these babies into work as a holiday gift.] First things first, Holy Cannoli! Bakery isn't your typical bake shop. Coming from a line of chefs/bakers, Chef Jamie is definitely skilled. She doesn't simply do this out of love for food, her goal is to also lend a helping hand to troubled youth and adults. Her mission is to hire people with "troubled pasts", have them learn set skills|work, and move forward in a more positive direction. This review is strictly for the in-house cannolis, made fresh. What is a cannoli you ask?? These rich, delicious pastries originated in Sicily, Italy. This tube shaped dough is filled with cream and can range in a variety of sizes [depending on where you go]. The cannolis are delicious and highly addicting. [You have officially been warned]. The crispy, crunchy outer texture along with the rich filling is sure to please. Foods are made fresh and presentation is on point. Whether this is a simply a snack for yourself, a gift, or you are in need of a party tray- you are most definitely in the right spot. 4 Stars. read more

Holy Cannoli! More like holy everything! The cutest shop on the block! I was instantly welcomed by the nicest staff! I got a nitro cold brew with coconut milk (recommended) and it's a game changer for sure! Also, I've never had a cannoli before so I got a mini one and oh maaaan, I'm worried any other cannoli won't taste the same. They pipe the cannolis right in front of you, you can pick from the bar or ty of toppings they have for each side, and you get to bite into a piece of heaven. Will definitely be there again! Got themselves a new regular! read more

They weren't open so not sure what going on. Had hoped to try a few cannoli's as we need them for our sons wedding next month.

We had breakfast that was very filling and saved room for cannolis. Emily was friendly and pleasantly explained the menu to us.

The five stars is for the free mystery cookie that was placed in the takeout bag along with my pasta combo order. Yeah yeah, the pasta was great. And the salad was good. The bread was just barely ok. But then came . . . that free cookie. There it was, that cookie. . . It was sticking inside it's white bag, and would not come out. It had even soaked the bag with oil, and when the bag ripped open to free the cookie, bits of the cookie peeled off with the bag. It was a miserable sticky cookie. . . a brown, oily, squishy, waxy, mutated mess. No cookie looking like that would make it into a Mr. Field's Cookies display case. And it tasted dead at first. . . like that almond biscotti from Whole Foods, or like a sugar cookie from a Mexican bakery. But then flavor suddenly began turning, and turning, and turning. Was there a walnut? Was it caramel? Was it carrot spice? Was it butter? A grocery store Nabisco cookie has one flavor, one texture. A bakery store cookie has two aspects, the hard sugary edges, and the soft savory middle. But this mysterious cookie was multi-dimensional. The crisper outer edge, the gooey center, solid bits of something nutty, something hardened, and then something else ebbing and flowing with every roll of the tongue. And on top of all that was like a cookie sheet or maybe a grilled quality that varied with every bite. Whatever it was, I haven't eaten a cookie like that since I was little. I had forgotten long ago, that stuff could taste like this. read more

I had to plan lunch for an Executive only office meeting in San Jose... but I live in Arizona. I found Holy Cannoli on yelp and I am so lucky. The quality of the food was exceptional. Service was professional and delivery was on time. Presentation was off-the-charts! I rarely see such care put into catered office food. All of the Executives were impressed and kept asking me how I was able to pull off such an amazing lunch. (Believe me... we have had sketchy looking deliveries before). Holy Cannoli is on another level. I definitely recommend their chicken in beurre blanc sauce and the homemade cannolis. Thanks for making me look good, Jamie! read more

Jamie is a wonderful chef/caterer and I've known her for many years. Holy Cannoli! I met my wife over cannolis in Springfield,MA. In 1979. I brought cannoli from the reknown La Fiorentina coffee and pasticeria. They were the best in town. As we met at the cannoli I asked if she liked the cannoli. Her reply,"Not as good as my mother's,but not bad". Ok! We married a few years later. Love that woman! She was right. Jamie's are truly delicious! Every flavor. Plain, pistachio, and chocolate. I'm going back for one more! Thanks Jamie. You do great work! David read more

I've been to try this place for awhile and got a chance to this weekend while in the area. I'm a big cannoli fan. I tried two - one with the regular filling and one with the chocolate. After trying the chocolate one, i was really surprised at all the 5-star reviews and was seriously going to give a 3-star or lower. The creme filling was very sour. Not sure if it was supposed to be that way or if I had gotten a bad batch. But, I noticed that another reviewer had the same experience. So maybe it's supposed to be sour? Chocolate creme you'd think would be sweet. Now the regular creme I tried today and it was delicious. I had the chocolate chip and Oreo topping and both ends were spot on. I'll have to try again maybe but for now split the difference with 4-stars. Really good traditional filling, really sour chocolate filling. Cute place though and am always looking to support a small local business. read more
