In our day's Sunnyslope business, our niece took us to Kris Frybread. Arriving we saw Dawn's. She said Dawn's gets high ratings too. After our excellent Kris meal I made my way to Dawn's. I am infamous in the family for my dessert rxtravagance. But I share with all at our table. Take your choice! Our niece got cannoli, I got lidded shortbread custard cups, vanilla and almond. Sweet D got a cherry and an apple turnover delivered into the box. It is five days later. My sugar intake has dropped a lot. In our home baking we cut sugar ingredients by half. Older Hopi bakers put in enough sugar for a hint of sweet in their cookies. Modern bakers glaze them. I'll take those traditional ones. When I say the shortbread cup with custard was too sweet for me, that's my 21st century palate speaking. The almond cup was a buy-again item for me, still sweet, very almond. The cherry turnover was flaky, the filling tart, oozing fillng and cherries. The gold medal, blue ribbon "I'd buy this again, for sure is the apple turnover. We will return for some more flaky, apple-y goodness. The webpage makes mymouth water. I see many items are normal and mini sized. Great idea Dawn.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.

The Sicilian Butcher is one of my favorite restaurants in town. So, my recommendation is that you…read moremake it a one-two punch. Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good.

Ok,first off,Best locally owned donut shop in ALL of Phoenix So before I went here,I went to "Dunkin Donuts",a typical overpriced donut shop with ok donuts.So I'm like "Okay,let's go local and indie,let's try Rainbow Donuts.."..At that moment,I wouldn't of known,that move was one of my best "indie" / "local" choices.and it still is! Now I'm not completely sure but I think it is is Asian-owned (no racism). Which is really cool and different.. Now unlike other "donut shops" they're actually good with their "specials.You can see from the pictures of what I mean.. Now I know a lot of people that live in Camelback and in Scottsdale,and they know Rainbow Donuts!!That just tells you how famous they are (and good!!) Now onto what I get,I usually go to Starbucks to get coffee and then head here for sweets.I sometimes get their Hot Chocolate in winter (cause let's be real,Starbucks doesn't make good hot chocolate),and usually 2 glazed donuts,Lemme tell you,they're sooooooooooooooooo good!! Now onto the wait lines.Ive never been through the drive thru but every time I do the line vanishes in 2-3 minutes.And lines inside is never a hassle.. Overall great place and hope you go there one day:) read more

I don't buy donuts very often, but when I do (like when hosting a yard sale or have company overnight) it's always Rainbow Donuts. They have a large selection of fresh donuts whenever I go there.
