I stopped in on Saturday around 1:30 totally hyped up about this place. I ended up having to walk a mile because there was some sort of motorcycle festival going on and the streets were closed off. I didn't mind the walk because it was a nice day and I'm a people watcher and there were a lot of freaks to look at. I don't know if it was the day or the time of day that I got there but the shelves were barren and there wasn't squat for selection or variety. It's pricey as hell. $5 for 1 cookie. $23 for a six pack of canollis. Well I didn't walk all that way for nothing so I bought 2 cookies for my boys and a six pack of canollis to share with my mom and wife. With all that said my kids enjoyed the cookies but we were left disappointed by the canollis. No flavor. My mom suggested that next time I get a hankering for a canolli to get a six pack of them from Walmart for under $4.

Don’t let the construction on Lakeshore scare you away - The Only Cannoli offers a delicious alternative to yet another ice cream shop for your beach trip, and is well...
Read moreA real great find. My wife and I happened onto this place bike riding the Muskegon Lakeshore trail. I'm sure business is tough with the Construction, but it's easy to get to by bike, except when the trail is underwater ; ). The serve, as it says, only cannoli, but they are made fresh, filled in front of you, and are delicious. The shell is light and crisp, and the filling just sweet enough with a robust flavor. We loved the lemon and the mint. Our kids also loved the oreo construction. We'll definitely be back and make this a regular...
