It is very difficult to rate . Next door was great so I have high expectations for the bakery. I love to bake so I am always to try fresh baked desserts . First the lattes are pretty good but the desserts didn't taste as fresh as I thought. Lots of options so we will go back and try others. Maybe we just didn't pick up good options. Customer service is amazing everyone is so friendly which makes me always go back. So many options so worth trying . read more

Ummm I'm in love. Don't know what more to say! We had the cookie butter, Nutella, original, and mint chocolate chip cannolis. I cannot wait to go back and try more! read more

I'm giving them what I think is a neutral rating. This is for a couple of reasons - mostly because there were good and not-so-good parts of my experience and I think they balance out to "average." First, I ensured they were open for business - they were. I called the location up on Tatum because that was on the way to the birthday party for which I needed the cake. I called three times - three different days and times. Three times I listened to that kitschy, annoying, overdone Italian accent on the recording give me my options. Three times I selected the option to talk to a person. Three times I was hung up on. Now, to be honest, if I had found another place that was as conveniently located for me that had a cannoli cake that I could have gotten for this woman who truly has everything - I would have called once and that would have been it. So, I decided to contact them through the website because it says: "Please fill out the form below and we will get back to you soon!" and allows for several reasons for your contact. I emailed twice. No response. At this point, I was about done - because it was clear they did not want my business that badly. My wife suggested calling the location in Chandler - while not on our way to the birthday party, it was a short, not totally unreasonable jog out of our way. The gal who answered the phone was friendly, helpful and double checked all of the information to make sure the cake was perfect. I did think it was weird that they charged me for the cake the second I ordered it rather than at pick up, but I get it - custom order and all. So, my opinion of this place changed significantly simply because of our interaction with her in ordering the cake. Pick up was great - the staff were friendly and outgoing and we got educated on the difference between gelato (theirs was amazing, by the way) and ice cream and staff made some great suggestions. The cake was nice enough, but for $48+ (it was a little more than advertised due to having a birthday wish written on it), I expect perfection and it wasn't. The taste was good. But, the overall buttercream layer was not thick enough (you could see the underlying cake in some areas); there were 3 different spots around the cake where there was clearly a fingerprint in it down to the cake - I wasn't even mad about that, you have to finagle a delicate cake into a box, there may be some collateral damage, I get it; and, finally, the box was not sturdy enough and folded in on itself, into the cake, taking a chunk out of the cake and smearing the other side of the cake when I straightened the box to remove the cake. So, overall, at this point, I'm not sold, but I'm also not vehemently opposed to going back and giving them a second chance (at the Chandler location, the Scottsdale one will never be off my "no go" list due to my initial experiences). read more

Service was great. We were not familiar with Italian desserts and the young man at the counter was super helpful and patient explaining all of the different types of desserts/cannelloni's. Desserts were delicious! read more

I really dropped the ball and didn't get any pictures but that's because I was too busy enjoying their desserts. We tried the sfogliatelle and pistachio cannoli. They have at least 10 different cannoli fillings. I tried several and was impressed by all of them. My wife wanted to try the sfogliatelle and it was my first time trying. Wow. Absolutely . Super crispy pastry dough due to the layered texture. The ricotta filling was subtle, slightly sweet and aromatic with citrus. Beautiful. I will be back! read more

Pleasantly surprised to see mini cannolis! It's a perfect bite for a sweet ending! Customer service cordial!

If, like me, you grew up eating pasta on Thanksgiving; making pizzeles and almond cookies for Christmas; and are firmly convinced that you've never had gelato until you've had it in Sicily, then this is the bakery for you. And even if you have no idea what I'm talking about, they make truly excellent pastries. Don't miss it! read more

I love the concept of the Sicilian Baker..... Build your own cannoli.... They have a ton of different cannoli filling flavors to choose from and then different shell sizes and flavors as well.... But I didn't think the cannoli itself was all that special. I think the experience is worthwhile and I would maybe come back to try their other baked goods, but I've had better cannoli elsewhere. read more

Julia service was amazing and outgoing . Food was great . I highly enjoyed and would recommend

Stopped in earlier today and I was a bit disappointed. I got a sfogliatelle pastry and a Nutella lobster. My boyfriend said the lobster was very good and flaky but my sfogliatelle was cold and dry on the inside. The sfogliatelle was flaky on the outside and the ricotta filling was very good. I just wasn't expecting cold pastries is all. I think since they open later in the day, maybe they bake the pastries the night before or morning of and refrigerate them? Either way, I would give this bakery another shot since it's very hard to find sfogliatelle!! read more

Oh my goodness. Whoever was working the counter today was such a b****. It was completely disorganized. I came in to pick up an order of 6 mini cannolis which I had called in for and the woman told me that she couldn't do it because she didn't have traditional filling? What kinda of cannoli place doesn't have traditional filling?! You have got to be kidding me. I was a loyal customer too. Now I'm taking my money elsewhere. read more

We were in Chicago a few months ago and experienced one of the best cannoli cakes at Rosebuds. We decided that we would order this cake for my birthday. We went to The Silician Baker and discussed the cake in person with the baker. The way he described it made my mouth water. I was so excited to try their cake. Well, the big day arrived and I was soooo disappointed. The cake was dry, no flavor and the buttercream wasn't even sweet. It was a huge let down. Save your $100 and go somewhere else. Not one person liked the cake out of a party of 30. They really should offer me a refund for this cake. read more

Deliccciioouuusss but pricey some things where within reason. Really wanted to buy some fresh pasta to make at home but for the portion it was also a drop pricey so I held off but I would be back only because I like spending money on good treats read more

The people working here are truly amazing. I drove my 83 year old mother up to this location from Mesa. We arrive and my mother went into the store. The people behind the counter were flustered wondering how she entered because they were not open yet. But they asked her how they could help. They were so kind to go out of their way to fill the order of St. Joseph cakes that she wanted. They could have told her to come back when they opened but they didn't. They went the extra mile to make her day. Thank you. It is truly amazing to find real customer service these days! Kudos! read more

Laura was so sweet and helpful plus She made me the BEST coffee and I am hard to please on coffee!! You can make you're own cannoli and there are yummy cookies and gelato to choose from as well. If you're in the neighborhood definitely stop here! You won't be disappointed read more

This place is incredible! I took a box of cookies over to a girlfriend's house last night and am enjoying some of the leftovers with coffee this morning. The Amaretti is my favorite, but also really enjoyed the almond cookies and mini cannoli. So. Good. Sicilian Butcher next door is also delicious - we loved their beet salad, charcuterie, and pizza. So happy to have it in the neighborhood! read more

*Update added to the end of this original post* Original post, 2 stars: I was pretty excited to try the cannoli bar, seems like such an original idea with so many interesting flavors! They even let you sample the creams on a little spoon. I was very excited to try most of them so I ordered a 6-pack of minis and was given all regular. I said I wanted an assortment of the flavors but they said you can't get flavors in the mini size. Uh... what?? The website says "Choose your size, choose your shell, choose your cream". Well, I chose mini only to be denied. And so did the people in line beside me. A foot-long cannoli is a novelty, but I think they are missing out on a huge opportunity here. Hey Sicilian: People would be very keen to take a dozen assorted minis to the office. Perhaps if they are too difficult to fill on the fly, you could offer premade half dozen assortment boxes. The original cream minis you gave me were premade as it is, why not go ahead and pre-make a few with your most popular fillings. When you figure this out let me know and I'll be back. Update: the manager reached out and let me know that they could fill the minis for me and invited me back to try them. So I did. And they are DELICIOUS! The shell was perfectly (lightly) sweet and crispy. The fillings are interesting and fun, that's what drew me to them in the first place. I thought my preference would be the original, chocolate, nut flavors... and they were, but I didn't think I would like the fruity flavors. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the lemon flavor! Like an Italian lemon meringue pie. I took some home and unfortunately they don't keep well. The shells lose the crispness. These treats are meant to be enjoyed right away. Super cute decor in there as well. Great place to stop for dessert! They won me over. read more

Ok so don't come here if you are on a diet. Had just a large half classic half coffee and it was amazing. The girl behind the counter was very helpful. Will definitely be coming back here to have more of the delicious looking deserts. The attached restaurant also looks amazing so we decided to get some dinner too. read more

Delicious cannolis! I stopped in a few days ago to pick up some cannolis and was amazed by the variety of flavors available. I got a 6 pack of minis to take home for my family to try. We tried the regular, strawberry, lemon, and chocolate. All of them were delicious! I will definitely try some of the other desserts as they all looked amazing! The staff was super friendly and very helpful in deciding which flavors to try. read more

The best cannolis I've ever had!!! Satisfying taste and size. I wanted to buy everything. The service was incredible and the place is connected/right next door to The Sicilian Butcher. I will definitely be coming back.... like next week:) read more

Wonderful pastries and deserts. Truly authentic or as close as you can come to it in Americal. Try the Chocolate Cannoli. IT IS TRULY HEAVEN! read more

Gooooood lord their cannolis are delicious! We sampled each cannoli cream flavor and each one was out of this world. We settled on the cookie butter and the original. After eating the cannoli we cracked into our box of goodies we were supposed to bring home. All amazing but the Italian rainbow cookie took the cake haha!! Before leaving we debated whether we should have one more cannoli but decided against it because We already made such pigs of ourselves:))) we cannot wait to go back. Ohhh and the service and cappuccino was above and beyond read more

I love the look of the store front and the bakery case. Unfortunately, I won't be able to review any food because I was told there is no guarantee there are no peanuts in anything and I have a severe allergy. I don't know of a time I've ever had a problem with Italian food and peanuts. I could understand if it was someone with a tree nut allergy maybe. But, actually, I won't be able to eat at the Sicilian Butcher next-door either as the staff told me there may be cross-contamination in both kitchens :/ read more

Please bring back your original Tiramisu. It was so good that my husband placed a special order 2 years ago as a round birthday cake. Every time we enjoy your entrees, I always had to top it off with your tiramisu. I went there last night for my birthday and you've changed the recipe. It is dry and lacks the flavor it once had. Please bring back your original recipe!! read more

I'm rating this place 2 stars for now and possibly changing the score in a few days. Let me explain why. Did a girls night out, 5 of us hit up Sicilian Butcher and 3 of us hit up this place afterwards. The 3 of us that went to the bakery each got cannoli donuts and traditional cannolis to and share at home with our partners. One friend messaged me the next day and said she had food poisoning shortly after eating the cannoli donut her husband didn't want. The other friend told me she had a bite of her husbands cannoli donut and ended up slightly sick but not to the extent of our other friend. She also stated because it was late her husband never had any. Then there's me. I split one with my boyfriend before getting the warning texts and my stomach would not stop rumbling for hours. We know it's not from the butcher next door since the 2 that didn't join us for dessert were fine. My boyfriend ended up saying the same thing, it did not sit well with his stomach. I honestly don't know if I would ever go back here and because it's attached to the butcher shop I'm guessing they are the same company. Not sure if I ever want to go back there anymore more. It's just if you have one half of your business giving 4 people eating the same thing food poisoning, makes you wonder about cleanliness or standards of the place associated with it too. I don't like giving bad reviews and feel terrible about it. But honestly it needs to be noted because something was done wrong that lead to this and the issue needs to be found and fixed. Maybe it's a temperature control issue with where they kept them? Maybe they were old over a certain time? I really don't know but I feel they should track down the cause and fix it. read more

I saw this place in my neighborhood and couldn't resist stopping by on my way home from work. Their build your own cannoli bar is awesome! Both times I've been there, the service was super quick and I was in and out with my cannoli in a few minutes. They have some tables inside and outside if you want to eat there. They have a bunch of pastries on display, but I'm a sucker for cannolis so I honestly haven't paid much attention to what they have in the cases. Try the cookie butter cannoli filling.....you won't be disappointed! I've also tried the Nutella filling and that was great too. The restaurant that is attached to the bakery (The Sicilian Butcher) looked busy both times I was there. This place is becoming a regular weekly stop for me! read more

This bakery is AWESOME!! It is so creative and unique! I've never seen so many choices especially with all the cannoli choices. We were full from dinner so we bought 4 cannolis to go. The people working were so passionate about the bakery and all that it had to offer. It was so nice talking to them, and they were so patient as we were deciding what to get. We could not believe how good the cannolis tasted a day later. Oh my goodness........they were beyond delicious and still so fresh, WOW! We were fighting over them and wished we had bought more! This place is a gem, and we already know what we are getting when we come back. Can't Wait! read more

I had gotten a napoleon there after they just opened and was VERY excited to find a good one in the valley. Went back today to treat myself again and was extremely disappointed in that the pastry was extremely soggy and the custard looked old. It tasted like it was made the same day as the first one I had when they opened. Very soggy pastry am so disappointed 4/22 Update. The owner took my review to heart and reached out immediately and sent me a $25 gift card to come back and try again. I was amazed at such responsiveness so will definitely come back and try their napoleons again and hopefully it was just a one off issue. read more

Had wanted to try this place. I am from San Diego and had heard about it. I was so happy it was as good as I hoped it would be. So many wonderful choices from choosing your Own flavor and size of cannolis to some wonderful Sicilian childhood memories of cookie flavors. I was lucky to meet and talk with Tony Busalacchi and make a San Diego and Navarra connection. Tony recommended the Sicilian Butcher restaurant next door when I told him we missed one of his San Diego restaurants "Busalacchi's on 5th. So we did come back and had an incredible dinner at the Sicilian Butcher and more dessert from Sicilian Bakery. read more

Everytime I've come here, no matter what I ordered, it has been delicious. These are real deal Italian pastries. Service is friendly and prices are fair.

Oh my goodness! These cannolis are amazingly delicious!!! First you choose your cannoli shell, then you get to choose your cream filling, and then you get to sink your teeth into the most amazing cannoli you've ever had (outside of Italy). I had a chocolate shell filled with the traditional cannoli cream with chocolate chips. I was so full after having eaten next door at the Sicilian Butcher, that I ended up taking it home and putting it in the fridge until later that evening. I was afraid that the shell would be soggy. But surprisingly, the shell was still crispy and crunchy and paired very nicely with the creamy filling. The chocolate on the shell really made it DELICIOUS! We also tried the amaretti cookies, my favorite Italian cookie. Was NOT disappointed. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, not overly sweet and just the right amount of almond flavoring. Why can't we have one of these bakeries in California?! read more

Delicious. No other words! I can't wait until this place opens in chandler by my house. So fresh so delicious! I don't remember the names of the pastries I got, but they were unbelievable. I'll have to come back and get a cannoli next time! read more

Stopped by this bakery while on Holiday to see if we could find a bakery that matches up to some of the real delicious bakeries in Rochester, NY. I guess I've been blessed over the last 60 plus years as an American Italian with some great bakers and cooks. These cookies were ok. If ever in Rochester stop by Etna Bakery for a real treat. read more

The Sicilian Baker - Hand made and always fresh cannolis - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Large selection of cannoli flavors but they don't fill on the spot, so shells are stale and limp from sitting with cannoli filling in them. Oh, and super expensive - $7 for a cannoli??? I get them at AJ's for $2.50 and they're filled on the spot fresh. Ok for a one time or special occasion, otherwise, not worth the trip, extremely disappointed - got a 6 pack which is advertised for $35, however, what they don't disclose is that the different shells also carry different pricing - so my 6 pack went from $35 to $46. Definitely feel ripped off. read more
