Delicious! Cannot say enough great things about these yummy treats and the wonderful owners. The crust is homemade, buttery, and flakey. We got chocolate filling and Oreo filling, and both were excellent. This is Boston North End quality. Plus, the owners were so kind answering our questions and chatting with us while we picked our selections. The next time we're up from Dallas, we will be stopping in for more! read more

I've had their cannolis before, but had never actually been in their shop or ordered them myself. A few months back, my husband & I went to the Arts & Apples fair & decided to stop in here before heading home. It's a cute little shop & the man that was working was super friendly & helpful. I thought it was really cool that I got to watch him actually fill the cannolis as I chose my flavors & then was able to pick whatever toppings I wanted for the ends for each cannoli! We ended up doing a variety of flavors & all of them were delicious! We recently stopped in again to get some more! This time we also got a variety pack & the cookies & cream was mine& my husband's favorite! read more

Hidden gem!!! Loved each flavor I tried, especially the cherry almond. Highly recommend checking this place out!

This bakery is lovely and have some of the best cannolis that Rivals the best Italian bakeries in Boston's North End. The 2 ladies are very nice, adorable and I even got to talk with them as they were making the cannolis. I Absolutely recommend a try here if you are ever in downtown Rochester. Thank you ladies, you made my day. read more

Delicious and very fresh Cannoli's! Several flavors, filled to order. Limited seating - this is really intended for Take out orders. read more

This is the cutest little shop! Cathy and Tim, a husband and wife team run the store and make all the cannolis themselves. This is an old school, traditional place and Cathy hand writes the six flavors of the day every day, so you just have to stop in to see what they have ! They also sell cookies and baklava, although I did not try either on this particular visit. The cannolis are the best I've ever had. I've never had a crunchy cannoli shell and apparently that's actually how they're supposed to be. Be advised that with all cannolis you want to eat them ASAP so they don't get soggy, that is why they wait to hand pipe the filling in just before giving you your cannolis. They are closed on Sunday and Monday, but have generous hours otherwise from 11am-9pm typically. If you call the store the answering machine will also provide the most up to date hours. I highly recommend checking this place out! If you did want to do a pre-order, you would likely have to stop in and talk to the owners directly as I do not believe they check their email inbox or phone too often. Just an FYI. read more

I've been coming here for the past 10 years the wife and husband that run this location are always super friendly to me when I come in and the cannolis are always excellent we always get some for Thanksgiving and Christmas and whenever we're in Rochester, make sure to check out the Rochester lights and holy cannoli and get yourself a cannoli some of the best in the state hands-down.. they even have cannoli nachos, which are unique as well read more

Interesting spot with nice staff. The cannolis were tasty, shells were great, filling was ok. Most of the things in the shop, not food items, were covered in plastic. I am not sure why, almost gave an under construction feel but the drink cooler front was covered too. A little confusing. Cannolis are 1 for $4 or 6 for $18. They also do 10" cakes that has a cannoli filling, he said that was their only size but they have duty tiered cakes on display so Im not too sure. read more

Service is horrible, rude staff especially over the phone. I asked a simple question just to get attitude in return for speaking a nice tone to them. read more

We figured we would stop in on our attempt to get some exercise after our Italian meal. The owner asked me not not take a picture of him as I was about to take a pic of the empty cannolis. I told him not to worry, he isn't the focus of the photo at all. We got the 6 for $12: Cookies and cream, traditional, hot cocoa, cappuccino, key lime, red, white and blueberry, which were the 6 creams they had today. They make them fresh or rather put the cream in fresh for you. The owner told us to eat them today, but they are would still be good the next day too. He told us to leave the top off and keep it in the fridge, so they don't get soggy, but soft. We each took an end bite of each cannoli. All were pretty plain and simple. The cappuccino and the red, white and blueberry had the most flavor of the 6. The hot cocoa wasn't bad either. None blew me away though. read more

Holy Cannoli's was for sure not what we expected when we walked in but they sure were good. The front of the store is an eclectic collection of all kinds of holiday decor. Once you enter you'll see the counter where the cannolis are filled to order by a friendly staff member. They have different flavors everyday and we tried all five. The cherry almond was for sure our favorite but all were great! read more

Walked in, and the iconic quote from The Godfather bubbled up in my mind... "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Never heard of cannolis until I saw the movie many moons ago. But after sampling the cannoli in my car, since there isn't seating in the small shop, I had to look up how to make them because they are $4 each or $18 half dozen. Wow. DEEELISH! Shell was crispy-crunchy and a lovely touch of powdered sugar covered them. The cream fillings were so fresh, rich, balanced sweetness; good mouthfeel. The marriage of the creamy filling and crunchy shell was perfect combo after bite after bite. The flavor choices were classic, peppermint, and chocolate. All flavors were excellent. Surprisingly, they sell baklava and salted caramel chocolates. Got those as well. DEEELISH! The shop reminds me of visiting someone's great aunt or Nona... welcoming, decor like an antique shop, and good treats. The sweet older lady running the front, was so cute. Friendly. Clearly explained to NOT close the container if refrigerating. Otherwise condensation occurs. Followed her instructions, and took a bite of one of remaining cannolis next morning. YUM. The shell slightly softened, but still good crunch. Overall, forget ambiance. Take the cannoli. read more

Best cannolis I've ever had. Different flavors of the week offered which makes a super fun twist to the traditional cannoli. Their Baklava is also DELICIOUS. Such a cute family Owned business, always so nice to customers. Would recommend to anyone and everyone in the area read more

Best cannolis ever. A rich yet light dessert. The husband and wife said the cream takes 12 hours to make and the shells are hand-rolled. Truly made with love. They both made great conversation and were super friendly. Would go back in a heartbeat if I was from the area. read more

Such a pleasant surprise! I'm not a huge cannoli fan, BUT these were amazing! Very crispy and light. Would get the 6 deal next time, definitely worth it. Also tried the pistachio baklava, very good as well. Will go here again for sure! read more

This place is adorable! Christina helped me and told me all about the ingredients for my allergies and was able to catch a problem for me BEFORE I purchased it and it sent me to the ER. The Oreo and regular cannolis that I did purchase were amazing! Super fresh and not cloyingly sweet like many American-style Cannolis tend to be. I would recommend Holy Cannoli for you and your party. A really great place order from for a bridal or baby shower! And the cannolis are made to order right in front of you! I'll definitely be going back! read more

The cannoli are.... many-flavored (orange creamsicle. Cherry almond. Oreo. Key lime. And SO many others) and filled on-demand. They are crisp and delicate and smooth and creamy and many don't make it home. The cannoli dip - DIP! Is a huge bowl of your favorite filling served with cannoli CHIPS. Take it to every party: instant best friend. Baklava. Crispy, crunchy, chewy, PACKED with pistachios and just--the-right-amount-of-sweet. The best anywhere. What really makes this the best bakery for these items? The FAMILY. They are old-school, neighborhood-and-community supporting, grow-their-business-through-hard-work, everyone-chips-in-AND-remembers-their-customers and they work HARD. You want to support them because they treat you - and the sometime pushy and obnoxious tourist - like you are the customer they've waited to serve for the whole day. read more

Never get a cannoli from anywhere else! These lovely ladies know what they are doing and they are the sweetest! Pipe their cannolis on site when you order. Cannoli filing flavors are all amazing! If you don't want soggy cannolis then they give you a piping kit bag with powdered sugar, nuts, empty cannoli shells, and filing all with a piping bag. They package the cannolis with a lovely bow. Other goodies they sell as well, but cannolis are the best! Do not pass this place up! read more

Nice friendly shop in Rochester. Not a lot of choices but the cannolis that we bought were increadible. I use to think that the recipe that my grandma used was off since nobody else had anything that even tasted close to hers. Even went to Buddies in New York city and their cannoli was terrible compared to my grandmas recipe. This cannoli tasted very close to my grandmas. I found out that not many people can make cannolis but Holy Cannoli and my grandmother sure can! Good job! read more

Very cute little Cannoli store in downtown Rochester hills, first time here. When we walked in, the lady working in there greeted us. I bought several different kinds of desserts to try. The cannoli is made in front of you, so it is very fresh. You could tell the cream is homemade, it is not artificially sweet. I'm glad I found this store, will definitely go back try some more. read more

I left a previous review a year ago, but wanted to update that these are still the best cannoli I've had from any bakery. They're just like homemade. The shell is thin, light, crisp, and covered in little air pockets. The filling is creamy, includes chunks of chocolate, and both the shell and filling are flavored properly with Italian cinnamon. No other bakery comes close to getting this combination right. I highly, highly recommend them. read more

Bad batch? Never heard of it at Holy Cannoli's. This authentic, family owned, cannoli shop is the best part of downtown Rochester. You always get a lovely conversation along with your delightful treat. You can't avoid eating it before you get home. Plan on saving it for later? Think again. read more

I came here with a friend who was really craving Cannoli's for desserts. This little store is located in the heart of downtown Rochester! I'm usually not a fan of Cannoli's, so I wasn't too excited to come with him.. but the owners were super friendly and super excited to introduce to us all the fresh new flavors they had.. I ended up trying their apple flavored one and their chocolate cherry one.. both were super yummy! I'm glad I ended up coming here with him! read more

Stumbled upon this gem one night walking in Rochester. When we can inside, the smell was heaven. I literally said "Holy Cannoli." We had 2 regular cannolis and a hot cocoa cannoli cupcake. They were delicious!!! It was great to also meet the family who owns the bakery and were able to talk with them. Makes you feel like you're at your Italian grandma's house and you're talking to family. They use their great grandmother's recipe from the early 1900s and you can tell they take great pride in their heritage and treats. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Holy Cannoli's - Lemon Cannoli's - Desserts Near Me - Rochester, Michigan

The cannolis were so good I felt the need to download Yelp to leave a good review!!!!

I gotta say I've been here a couple times now so I'm convinced my experience was not a fluke. The cannoli shells when fresh are fantastic but the "traditional" filling was less than stellar. They use (in my opinion) poor quality chocolate which not only taste unfavorable but leave a weird mouthfeel and use wayyyy too much cinnamon. The ladies behind the counter were really nice but for $2 a cannoli I'd rather take my money and get a cannoli from Maninos which are FANTASTIC! Not too impressed with this place but at least I could say I tried! read more

This place is the real deal! I have no pictures to post because we ate everything so quickly. Usually I can save something for later, but not tonight. Lemon cookies, (they are SOFT and CHEWY and LEMONY!), fresh-piped cannolis, (traditional, cookies and cream, peppermint, etc), Italian Wedding Cookies, (thick and buttery and rich)... you cannot go wrong here. read more

Stopped in to get some cannoli's and baklava. The owner mentioned she was adding a couple extra tidbits to the baklava. I thanked her as I she must have known it was my birthday. She then gave me a cupcake for an extra birthday treat. Not only is the customer service exceptional, their baked goods are divine. read more

Delicious!!! The cannoli chips and dips are wonderful. Pieces of shells, dipped in your choice of cannoli fillings. These were a unique and delicous addition to our party menu. Their cakes are fantastic. We had a birthday cake, two layers, with a wonderful cannoli filling. It was iced with a feather light whipped cream frosting. The top of the cake was beautifully decorated with a large circle of real flower blossoms. read more

Cannolis tasted really good but I'm giving a 1 Star because the girl that was making our cannolis had no gloves on, had a band aid on her finger, and once she finished she rubbed her hands on her shirt and took my cash. That was disgusting. You're touching money and putting your hand on my food without even washing them and on top of everything you have Nasty germ filled band aid on your finger. Last time we were here the girl used gloves and today I went in to place a large order of cannolis for a party we're having next week that will have about 50 people but as soon as I seen the filth I immediately changed my mind. It was gross to watch her. read more
