Little Cannoli Bakery

I stopped by to try this bakery out and the speed at which I ate my eclair once I got started could have frightened a small child. Can?t wait to try the rest of the desserts they have? especially the Marion berry Napoleon and the macarons.

Nice little place. Rainbow cookies are pretty decent. But... The cannoli? Awful. Might be the worst I've ever had. Maybe the fact that I'm Italian, from NYC and lived in Italy at one point is the problem with these cannoli. I appreciated the traditionaltouch of the crushed pistachios on the end. Very nice touch. The fact that they fill the shells at the time of purchase isanother good sign. Unfortunately, by day two in the refrigerator, the shell disintegrated into mush. The ricotta overpowered bybitter taste of the shell (I think it was toffee). The shell should be plain with MAYBE some sprinkle of powdered sugar. Thericotta should be the star of this pastry. I spooned out the center of the cannoli, the part that wasn't touching the shell.Very underwhelming. Hardly any flavor at all. Not sure if this is a new bakery, and I hate to bash a local business, which I'mnot, but if you're going to put cannoli in the name of your business you'll need to step up your game. It was virtuallyunpalatable. If that was the first cannoli I had ever had, I wouldn't ever try a second one. I realize getting Italian pastriesin the west is always a challenge. There is a place in Phoenix AZ that is a local business who makes the perfect cannoli. Itmight be worth the trip for the owner to test one out. I will go back in a couple of months and see if they have improved theircannoli game but for now, non buono.

The coconut cream tart is AMAZING! Best thing I have eaten in a long while. The marion berry napoleon is yummy too.

The owner is so kind and welcoming! It is my daughter's favorite place in Salem so we go every month. Would recommend the cream horn, the brownie bomb for kids and the coffee is local and delish!!

Called the little cannoli bakery but only have ONE type of cannoli. One small cannoli is 4.50$ and it was made with a shell that tasted like melted hard Carmel, and the filling was bland. Also all the other treats were really small. We did like the coconutcream tarts and the Napoleon was very good.
