Corbo's Bakery At Playhouse — Restaurant in Cleveland

I randomly called this place due to Google. Little Italy has a great reputation, I needed a cake near my downtown Cleve job for my coworker/bestie, Chelsea and ended up with a winder cassata cake. Was ordered and picked up within a couple hours. (I believe this cake was the LAST and was available) I was working on the fly! Lol However, this cake was perfect. She loved it! The cake tasted very clean and refreshing. Fresh! The strawberries had their crisp flavor and texture as well. Can I also mention that it smelled amazing when I walked in? Because it did! I'm not even a sweet eater but you'll instantly crave something. I highly recommend you...

Corbo's is the best place to get a cannoli! Period. I used to give myself extra time to stop in Cleveland's Little Italy before going to Playhouse Square just to grab some to take home. I still stop if I am in Little Italy to get one for dessert, but now that there is a location at Playhouse Square it is post-show tradition to get some to take home. The staff is always friendly, professional, and efficient! With the bakery being open an hour past curtain for every show, it's the best way to wait for the parking garage to empty and also treat...

Stale pastries, bad coffee, lukewarm customer service. I have dropped in a few mornings because the store is close to my office and I've enjoyed Corbo's in the past. At first the new location wasn't fully staffed or stocked so I overlooked their problems but it has been a while now and things have not improved. The pastries are stale at 8:30 AM; the coffee is thin or acrid; and I get the impression the only person who wants to be there less than me is the woman behind the counter. It's a shame; we could really use a good alternative to Starbucks...
