Yes, they have really good cannoli, but they also have other awesome Italian treats like sfogliatelle. My second favorite after cannoli. They were excellent, flakey, and richly filled with a ricotta cream. They also had no problem filling a large order for an event the next day. Clean and modern inside and helpful staff top it off.

Visited for breakfast on a Saturday morning- was surprised that the cafe only offered breakfast panini for their breakfast menu, and that only cookies, gelato, and dessert- type pastries were available at the counter. Equally stunned that a cappuccino cost $6.50!! Coming from Portland, OR, home of great coffee, and a semi- frequent traveler to Italy where all coffee is... More

The cannolis are some of the best ever. And the eclairs are HUGE! Think it took 3 or 4 of us to finish one. I would definitely return. Hopefully they will do their Groupon deal again.

Well if your in the mood for Italian sweets and gelato this is the place- just a bit pricey! Cookies and pastries 19.35 a pound and gelato small about 4 dollars each- only problem I have is the pistachio gelato definately had pistachio's in it, the cream seemed a bit squandered on the creamy taste it should of been- I...

...and I would like to give it one star to bring down the overblown rating of this tourist trap, but, in all fairness, I wish to be true to the intent of the rating system and not 'game' it. Therefore, this place deserves a '3', meaning, you are asking for and getting average, tourist mass feeding quality pastry. I entered... More

Great desserts, one of the best places to go in the city of Baltimore. The coffee is amazing and the atmosphere is very nice. Everything is clean and the serves is good.

Saw great reviews and had to try the Tiramisu. Loved it. Superb. We also tried some Of the cookies and other pastries. Thumbs up to the cannolis. Less impressed with the cookies.

This little pastry shop has some of the best deserts I've ever tried. The cannoli's are devine and so smooth. The prices are surprisingly reasonable as well. A must stop when in Baltimore!

Went to this nice little pastry shop after having dinner across the street at Amiccis. Had the most delicious Napoleon I ever ate in my life. It was a Coconut Napoleon and it was just perfect. The dough was flaky, the coconut cream filling was to die for. It was the perfect storm of flavors for me. I would highly... More
