Novel is located in a cute little courtyard with some other businesses. The ordering is done at a little window. The people working there seemed like they didn't care -- but they were kids working at a job where the ice cream probably dyes your hands blue and the donut smell probably makes you gag after a while -- so I get it! It is a fun concept and I love this cute little area of downtown PHX. I would come back and try a different combo -- but only when I am so hungry (not after dinner, LOL)

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.

I'm usually not a pumpkin spice fan, but I'm so glad I tried it. It had the perfect amount of flavor without being overly sweet. If you're a mama visiting with a little one, I recommend using a baby carrier or placing a pickup order. If you live nearby, I'd also suggest walking over because parking can be limited.

Phenomenal service! Tanner and Natasha are absolute rockstars! I cannot praise Tanner and Natasha enough for their outstanding service. They both went completely above and beyond the call of duty during my recent visit. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making this particular experience special. Thanks to their thoughtfulness, they actually made a birthday wish come true! Employees like them are hard to find, and they deserve major recognition for their hard work and amazing attitudes.

We needed enough water to make our baby's formula and cover our basic needs until morning. I completely understand that I arrived only eight minutes before closing, which is exactly why I brought in only one of my seven jugs. I didn't want to be the customer who comes in right before closing with a large order and keeps the employees there late. As soon as I walked into the store, an employee immediately told me they were "out of water." I thanked them politely, assumed there was nothing that could be done, and walked back to my car. About a minute later, I saw another customer carrying five or six empty water jugs into the store. They were able to begin filling all of them without any issue. Naturally, I was confused because I had just been told the store was out of water. I turned around and went back inside since it was clear there wasn't actually a problem with the water. Once I walked back in, the employee said, "Oh, I guess they're working now." While speaking with the other customers in the store, they also shared that they had initially been told there was no water, but decided to try anyway and it worked. I understand that things happen and equipment can be unpredictable, especially near closing time. However, as the other customer was finishing up, the employee walked over and said, "Well, are you going to pay for that or what?" Both myself and the other customers were stunned not only by what was said, but also by the tone in which it was delivered. The overall attitude made it feel as though we were a burden simply for trying to purchase water and go about our evenings. I completely understand the need to complete closing tasks and manage time efficiently, but there is still a way to do that while maintaining basic customer service and respect.
