UPDATE: THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO CANNOLI QUEEN'S RESPONSE.
Firstly I do not appreciate the contemptuous tone of the response I received...I think it is more important to acknowledge my negative experience in a more attentive manner rather than 'pinpoint' it and make excuses for yourselves. However, if you really need to pinpoint it then the date was 5th December at approximately 1.30pm.
I quite frankly am not interested in your extensive flavour offerings and whilst I appreciate your time consuming process, I just wanted the $6.60 I spent on 2 Sicilian vanilla cannolis (which was recommended to us as your best-selling flavour) to have been worth it.
In addition to the overpriced cannolis, the service was dire. The girl who served us had absolutely zero clue on what she was doing. Hence the 20 minute wait. Even the customers in front of us had to ask to have their coffee remade. Horrible experience, made worse by this flippant response.
Visited this location a couple months ago with high hopes. The experience we had was below par. When we got in the lady at the front took extremely long to acknowledge us. The Cannoli we got was overpriced and did not taste great based on the price they charge. There was one customer ahead of me and it still took 20 minutes for me to get two cannolis. You are better going a few minutes down the road to La Strada. Much tastier and...
Read moreThis place is a gem! I discovered this cannoli spot over a year (or maybe more) ago and it honestly has the best cannoli I've tried around Toronto. I live in North York and it takes at least 30 minutes to drive here, but it's totally worth it!
The cannoli are always fresh, the shell is light and flaky and the filling...if I could buy tubs of the filling, I would. Haha!
There are a number of flavours: vanilla, nutella, pistachio, coconut cream, strawberry, blueberry, lemon, raspberry, orange creamsicle, banana, black cherry cheesecake, cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla swirl, cofee, oreo, salted caramel, maple walnut, double chocolate mousse and siciliana. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to try them all, but everything I have tried has been delicious. My favourite flavours are raspberry, oreo, salted caramel and siciliana. They make the perfect dessert for a family dinner or, honestly, just as a treat to yourself!
The shop is really clean and beautifully decorated. It is small and only has a few small tables, but feels very intimate, which really adds to its charm. The staff are also so friendly! They even make beautiful custom cakes.
I only wish their hours were extended, but I'll happily work around my schedule to go back! =D

Read moreLove the twist they have on the cannoli!
We all know cannolis usually have that cookie shell encasing that creamy ricotta filling. Here, they use a puff pastry and fill it with different and amazing flavours!
The puff pastry is flaky and has a nice bite to it. And still keeps the shape together even after biting and breaking into it.
The creams are super smooth and velvety and all the flavours I tried were just so resonant in each cannoli!
If you’re into the classic, they also offer the siciliana which was so nicely done and giving you that nostalgic cannoli feel that you know you’re gonna add one of those to the box!
The only thing I would say about the cannolis is that the puff pastry takes over the middle, so wish the fillings would go through the entire middle of the puff pastry. But this is only a minor drawback. STILL LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR CANNOLIS!
Might be biased as I am a huge cannoli fan and this has just been added to my list of favourite places for cannolis!
The interior is so nicely done and makes you feel like you’re in an upscale cafe.
The service was amazing! Let me take my time ordering and choosing my flavours amd welcomed me taking many pics of their location and decor!
Great job overall!
