    What it should look like with a layer of tomatoes!!!

    Atrocious service, no quality control and inedible food!!!! Called to reserve 1/4 tomato slab pizza. They required a credit card number which I reluctantly gave. Travelled an hour to pick up the pizza and when I walked in you could tell things had changed and not for the better! Gave my name and the pizza was handed to me I immediately said it is dry! There was no tomatoes on the top. I wanted to also purchase cannoli, as the pizza and cannoli's are my friends favourites and it was her 70th birthday. They had no original cannoli filling! They did have other fillings which consisted of bright florescent yellow for vanilla and bright florescent green for pistachio as well as others. Took a step back and pondered my situation, as I wanted to bring a smile to my friends face and it didn't look like that was going to occur. Noticed there were 4-1/4 slabs of pizza in the freezer. That is unheard of as it is usually sold out quickly, thus having to reserve it!!! If you know, you know! So many red flags!!! The older server, with grey hair and obviously not Italian, refused to give me a refund!!! I mentioned that it was NOT the same pizza they use to have and she said it was. I said not even close! She said it was. I said surely not!!! I asked if the owner has changed and they said yes. I walked out! Where has quality control and customer service gone????? Usually the place was packed with customers and there were just 4 in the time I had spent there. 2 had walked out as what they were looking for could not be found. Emailed Sheldon, the Director, with my concerns and sent photos and requested a refund. I received a reply from Tina, no title, and she said there would be no refund. I asked that Sheldon reply as she was not the one I emailed! He replied that he was not in the store so his colleague replied. Being in the store or not, you have eyes to see the images and could read the complaint!!!!!! If I had agreed to purchase a mug and it was chipped, would I have to accept?????? Go to Fratelli's for bread and pastries or La Grotta del Formaggio, on Commercial Drive, and purchase your slab pizza and cannoli's from them! Inviting and super friendly staff serving authentic scrumptious, appealing Italian goods!!!!

    Buongiorno! I missed the big Italian Day festival on The Drive (Commercial Drive, Vancouver) back in June due to prior commitments. That's where I'd usually try a different flavour Cannoli - every couple of years. To make up for missing the big festival, I headed to Italia Bakery to get my Cannoli fix. This is the location for Cannoli King. It is a tidy bakery with lots of baked goods - pastries, cookies, cakes & Cannoli. CK uses 100% ricotta cheese & has been in Vancouver for 40 years via Sicily. I've tried a lot of flavours - Pistachio, Nutella, Coffee, Tiramisu etcetera ... I could go on but you get the point. Service is prompt, friendly & helpful - ask questions if you're unsure about what you want to get. There's limited seating, plenty options & a well spaced out interior at this bakery. I'll be honest, my taste for Cannoli goes up & down depending on my taste buds on that particular day. While your there, why not try an Espresso with an Italian cake. Has Cannoli finally grown on me ... meh not quite yet. But I won't give up. Yelpies formulate your own opinions based on your taste. Give Cannoli King a try. Benissimo.

    I love that they offer cannolis here because they are hard to find. They offer a variety of cannoli flavours in the bakery and we chose a few of our favs to try out. Lemon - fresh pop of lemon flavour within the lemon custard. It wasn't too sweet and the cannoli had a crunch on the outside Pistachio - Wish it had more pistachio flavour because it was just a hint of it. Would have loved more crushed pistachios as well Tiramisu - Perfect blend of coffee flavours! Custard was smooth and velvety. Simply delicious Stracciatella - Similar to the tiramisu with a perfect blend of flavours. There was a slight bitterness to the chocolate but was sweetened by the sweetness of the custard.

    AKA Cannoli King - They offer a wide variety of traditional Italian cookies, cannolis, pastries and cakes (cakes are available both fresh & or frozen) My personal favourite are all the Amaretti (gluten-free!) cookie varieties! Super soft inside with a light crunchy exterior ... yummers! If you love cannolis this is THE place to go as they have a wide variety of flavours. They can make special creations for your party as well (see the 'mountain') There is also have a savoury food freezer section, with frozen meat or veggie lasagnas, pizzas and tomato sauces to go.

    I don't know why I didn't know about this amazing bakery until recently. They offer a range of Italian products including deli meats, breads, pastries, custom cakes, sandwiches, and coffee. Also known for their famous cannoli. I bake a lot and can tell their baked products are not only top notch but tasty. I had their almond croissant and easily could of eaten a couple (that delish). The almond paste filling wasn't too sweet and tasted fresh. Tucked away in a strip mall, there's parking out front or on Hastings. Located close to the PNE. Quality and prices are reasonable. Can't wait to try their other products! One pastry at a time!

    Baci cannoli and coffee cannoli

    Stumbled upon this bakery after eating at Tama Organic Life next door (will post that review shortly). The store is pretty big, and even has Cannoli King cannolis. I've never really had italian baked goods before, so obviously I had to try some. Baci Cannoli (3.5/5) This was pretty decent. It was filled with hazelnut cream on one end and chocolate cream on the other. The wafer was super crispy as well. Coffee Cannoli (3.5/5) I prefer this to the Baci as it had a stronger taste. However, after eating both cannolis I realised that I'm not the biggest fan of cannoli, and neither is my dad. Nutella Ring (3/5) The chocolate on this tasted a little artificial and was way too sweet. The cookie itself was pretty good, but I didn't really like the other components. Peanut Butter Cookie (4/5) This was my dad's favourite and he loved it so much he got three more. While I thought it was good, it was a little too sweet for me and I also had the same issue with the chocolate coating, though it was better than the Nutella one. Taralli (2/5) I didn't like this one. It tasted a little like a merengue, and I hate merengues. Basically it tasted like sugar coated in a sugar glaze. Hard pass. Coffee (4/5) I don't drink coffee, but my parents liked it. Tiramisu (3/5) Got this to go, but my mom hasn't tried it yet so idk how good it is since I don't like tiramisu. UPDATE: It was okay, but nothing really worth mentioning. Overall, I would say this place is pretty average and not really that worth it to me since I live almost an hour away. They do have a large selection of items though, as well as some frozen grocery items like arancini etc.

    Coffee, Raspberry, Pistachio Cannolis
    Melody Y.

    Hands down, the best cannolis I've had in town. J and I were exploring yesterday and we somehow ended up stumbling upon Italia Bakery and discovered Cannoli King within. You might have heard of their name or seen their food truck before at PNE and events of Vancouver. But did you know that they've been locally handcrafting Sicilian Cannoli for over 35 years? Everything is made from scratch from their dough to their delicious fillings. We tried their sampler plate for $9 where you can get 3 types of mini cannolis of your choice, with our choices being pistachio, coffee, and raspberry. The pistachio had a powerful attractive aroma of nutty flavours; the coffee was rich in flavour, and the raspberry with white chocolate bits on the side will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. Low-key planning my next trip to try all the other flavours from Cannoli King and all of their other desserts already...

    Freezer full of goods

    Not knowing anything about Italia Bakery, my husband and I decided to buy a few items from here. We will be repeat customers, that's for sure! Personal 3" Cheesecake - Moist and fresh with a crumbly but light crust, -this was my favorite. I'm sure 2 people can share this, but why share??!! Hazelnut Cannoli - Fluffy and light, but bursting with chocolate and hazelnut Meatballs - In the frozen section so you can bring it home to cook yourself. We cooked it that same night in some tomato sauce until it was hot all the way through and it was delicious. Seemed to be priced a little high at $1 a meatball, but worth the purchase. Risotto Balls - Also in the frozen section. You can bring it home to put into your oven and it only takes 16-18mins. The quickest way to enjoy a savoury treat/appee. The other sauvoury to go items such as mini pizza and sandwiches, I'd stay away from. I didn't find them particular good and priced too high. Not worth it.

    Yummy baked goods!

    Such a cute Italian Bakery in East Village! The cannolis are amazing! The shell is one of the best I have ever had! The ricotta filling is delicious...I have tried the following: Coffee - Yum Traditional Sicilian -Yum Pistachio - Yum...my favourite! They have a great selection of baked goods as well as some really good authentic Italian ingredients to buy for a little Italian cooking at home! I grabbed some fresh pizza dough and I am excited to make some flatbreads with it! I will stop here anytime I'm in the area if it's open...closes at 6:00pm! There are some Cannoli King food trucks around make sure to check them out if you see one out on the streets!

    * Photo update * I finally got around to taking pictures on my latest visit for espresso and sfogliatelle. The espresso was just as good as usual, with a nice crema and smooth finish. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/VcUHWOrE77pH3uF_R_TprQ?select=90kMu1cniV3z_uhobIgmfg The sfogliatelle had a bit too much powdered sugar on it today, but otherwise was just as good as usual once I shook a bit of the sugar off. :) Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/VcUHWOrE77pH3uF_R_TprQ?select=VjSwFYgyOR4rqQVnzwaNcg I still slightly prefer the sfogliatelle at Calabria, but they unfortunately frequently are out of them on the weekends (and don't even make them except by special order on weekdays). Italia seems to always have them at least! :)

Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.
