Walked in, and the iconic quote from The Godfather bubbled up in my mind... "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Never heard of cannolis until I saw the movie many moons ago. But after sampling the cannoli in my car, since there isn't seating in the small shop, I had to look up how to make them because they are $4 each or $18 half dozen.
Wow. DEEELISH!
Shell was crispy-crunchy and a lovely touch of powdered sugar covered them. The cream fillings were so fresh, rich, balanced sweetness; good mouthfeel. The marriage of the creamy filling and crunchy shell was perfect combo after bite after bite. The flavor choices were classic, peppermint, and chocolate. All flavors were excellent.
Surprisingly, they sell baklava and salted caramel chocolates. Got those as well. DEEELISH!
The shop reminds me of visiting someone's great aunt or Nona... welcoming, decor like an antique shop, and good treats. The sweet older lady running the front, was so cute. Friendly. Clearly explained to NOT close the container if refrigerating. Otherwise condensation occurs. Followed her instructions, and took a bite of one of remaining cannolis next morning. YUM. The shell slightly softened, but still good crunch.
Overall, forget ambiance. Take the cannoli. read more
