I couldn't stop thinking about these cannolis I had 2 years ago at the food truck festival so now that it's strawberry season I couldn't wait to have them again. It was worth the 1 hour drive to get my chocolate covered cannoli with strawberry filling. Of course everything they sell is delicious but these are the absolute best. I highly recommend you try them while they are available. read more

We stopped at Meriano's Bake Shoppe after a trip to the area. What a wonderful one stop shop bakery. I wish it was closer to us. You can get sauce and stuffed breads. We loved the chicken Parmesan stuffed bread. The bread itself was sweet, airy, and has a nice bite. The chicken and cheese inside was just right and filled throughout. We got 4 different cupcakes to sample. The cupcakes were fresh, moist, and flavorful. Love a wonderful Funfetti! My husband enjoyed picking out a sampling of their pastries. He loved them all- cinnamon roll, apple stick and the blueberry and strawberry danish. We greatly enjoyed our trip and every single item we purchased. The waitstaff were so accommodating and welcoming. A fun 80's song came on the radio and we were joking we all loved the song. We'll be back! 5 stars! read more

The cannoli was tasty enough, but at $ 5.00 for a small one, it's way overpriced. I can just imagine how much they charge for larger items.

Great bakery in Madison. They have excellent cannolis. You can see their cute truck outside. Service was fast and welcoming. There's a lot of parking. read more

My daughter and I attended the Food Truck Festival in Wolcott and my daughter love's Cannolis, so we had to stop by. Meriano's Bake Shoppe has a brick and mortar location but they also have a food truck that goes to a variety of locations. My daughter ordered an Oreo Cannoli and I took a couple of bites of my daughter's Cannoli and it was delicious. I'm not really a sweets fan but the couple bites I did take were delicious. The cream was very creamy and not too sweet. The Cannoli itself was crunchy and packed with a punch of an Oreo cookie. It was an overall a good Cannoli. read more

We ordered a carrot cake for a special anniversary celebration and were very disappointed as it was not the quality we have experienced previously. Cake was beautifully decorated but there was more icing than cake!! for instance, there were 3 layers and the bottom layer seemed to be 1/4" thick, whereas the icing was 2-3 times that. Also, the cream cheese icing apparently was made with granulated rather than powdered sugar, such that it was slightly crunchy. Finally, the cake barely had carrots in it and looked and tasted more like a mild spice cake. And the price of $45 for 6" cake seems quite pricey especially for the quality. I am sorry to write such a negative review but the disappointment for a very special occasion seems to merit candid feedback. read more

Stopped by this cutest bake shoppe (that's very famous in the area) for a quick sweet treat for our way. We got a chocolate dipped cannoli and eclair and they were delicious. Perfectly sweet and custardy, me and my husband both loved it! The family behind the counter was super sweet and had photos of their loved ones with their achievements all around the shop! What a cute, happy, proud fam. Love the vibes! read more

These are the most insanely sweet peanut butter balls we have EVER had. ALL sugar. Wow. Inedible. Barely any pb or choco taste-- completely blinded by sugar. I couldn't even finish the one in two sittings. read more

The make great pastry and always have a smile on their faces. Christmas and Easter holidays wouldn't be the same without their cookies and cannolis on the table read more

This is the most amazing bakery when one doesn't feel like doing it. Their chocolate croissant was the best I've ever had. Got cannolis for my daughter who loved them. This spot has seasonal flavors. I always want the coconut one Can't wait to go again read more

This is one of my favorite places near the shore. Consistently great desserts and the smoothest cannoli cream! Definitely worth picking up a stuffed bread too. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Can't wait to go back read more

Haven't even tried my cannoli yet because I accidentally dropped it, and when I told the cashier that I dropped it, he made me a new one and offered to give me an extra bag and did not charge me anything for it. I can't speak to the cannolis flavor yet, but I can say that the customer service is honorable. Update: cannolis were delicious read more

Great cannoli, and Italian cookies. I've been a loyal customer for decades. Followed them when they moved to Madison.

Hands down mine and my husbands favorite bakery. These guys have the best cannolis we have ever had and we live close to Carlos' bakery in Mohegan sun so that says a lot. We drive down a good 25-30 minutes just to visit the bakery and get some treats. We have never had a stale product when we have gone and they always have such an array of options of sweets. It's truly a sweet lovers dream bakery and the staff is always so nice. Everything is made in house and it's a family owned business which makes it that much sweeter to support! read more

Some of the best cannolis we've ever tasted. Our family who lives in Madison brought these to a party and I was blown away. We took some home and the next day, the shell was still just as crispy. That's a sign of a good cannoli. They have some amazing flavors too like lemon & oreo. I can't wait to check this shop out for ourselves next time we're in town! read more

These cannoli are amazing. Excellent traditional and really good choices if you want different flavors. I also like their pinnoli cookies, they are very good. I ordered a birthday cake and the cake was so gorgeous! It had beautiful decorations with edible flowers. Unfortunately, I didn't like the taste - it's that super sweet sugar flavor that just hurts your teeth. Too bad, I really wanted to like it. Go for the cannoli, totally worth it. read more

This is my new favorite bakery, too bad it is 80 miles away. The almond pastry was outstanding, with its extra helping of marzipan inside. The cannoli lobster tail was also excellent; probably the best cannoli cream I've tasted. The shell had a perfect crunch. read more

Delicious pastries and friendly and great service! The best cannolis! The Italian cookies are great!Christmas gifts! On Halloween they can't be beat with their different treats! Praying they never leave cuz they will be missed' read more

Meriano's did a fantastic job with my boyfriend's birthday cake! The cake looked beautiful and tasted even better. I wasn't able to pick it up before closing due to a snow storm and they were able to pack it and store it in a safe location for me which was SO appreciated. Definitely recommend this bakery if you're looking for a delicious and gorgeous cake!! read more

I have to admit that before today I didn't realize merianos even had a store front. Before then I had been stalking their cannoli truck at all of the local farmers markets. Upon stumbling on the store tonight I felt as though I had to get a cannoli since it was right in front of me. Anyways the cannoli was perfect as always. I went for classic and it was light and crispy and had the perfect ratio of filling to mini chocolate chips. Such an awesome find today. read more

The best bakery in Ct. when I travel through Madison I always stop by pick up probably way too many items. I can't choose which is the best so I buy a couple of each. Anthony is the best all around great guy willing to always help. Liz is just as helpful and always great to see her. Just a hint , Remember Tony I'll always have your back, being the new guy in school. read more

Cannolis are one of my favorite desserts. I saw the cannoli truck parked outside, so I thought I would venture inside to check out the bakery. I have to say this is my favorite cannoli ever! That is a pretty significant statement because I have been eating cannolis for about 50 years and I love to try them whenever I say specialty shops in my travels. This now replaces locations in Arthur Avenue in the Bronx as well as Hartford and New Haven as THE BEST. The gentleman who waited on me was the cousin of the owner and you certainly would've thought he was the owner, very passionate about all their foods and had a terrific personality and great customer service. Everything was fresh looking, I only tried the cannoli but I will be back! read more

Delicious cannoli. Way at the top of my list for best I've ever had. Large and filling with plenty of chocolate chips. The shell is crispy and filled on the spot to avoid sogginess. The filling is slightly lemony and oh so satisfying. Love their food truck! read more

Their truck was outside of the building I was exiting and I decided on a whim to get a couple of cannolis and a Pignoli cookie - large, freshly made shells, filled while you wait - Nice and crisp, no sogginess! The pignoli cookie was great as well... We will definitely stop into the bakery in Madison soon. Friendly staff... I'm a New Haven girl & this is as good if not better than Lucibello's or Cherie's read more

Not many bakeries these days make Napolean style Cannoli cake, but Meriano's does, and they do it very well. This cake was a big hit on Xmas day. Everyone raved about it. Filling was delicious, the frosting was not to sweet and complemented the cake layers perfectly. Went back again today (12/27/14) and picked up some Butter cookies and a couple Cannoli's Spot on................ read more

Meriano's has the best stuffed chicken parmigiana bread I've ever had! I also love their danishes and cupcakes. Their Italian pastries - like zeppoles - or their Italian cookies are not of the traditional taste or texture for which I am accustomed. I do recommend their less traditional baked goods. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the shop is always clean and seasonally decorated. read more

I had the pleasure of sampling these cannolis over the weekend at Mohegan Sun at the New England Food Truck Festival. The worker on the food truck was very nice. Please try the Mounds cannoli!! It is out of this world! read more

Incredibly good Italian bakery! The pastry is the best you will find in the area. The canolli and lobster tails are wonderful, but the goodness doesn't stop there. Cakes, pies, cookies, and breads are all great. Now, they are also making donuts. read more

I've been going to Meriano's since I was kid, back when they were located in Guilford. Without question, its the best bakery I've ever been to. I lived in New York for a few years and tried all kinds of places in little Italy, Brooklyn, and Astoria. None of them were quite so good as Meriano's. From what I hear, they've been thriving in Madison. That's great news. They're a gem of the shoreline. read more

Friendly service. Ordered small sized canolies. They were ready on time and delicious.

I'm a cannoli fanatic. Truth be told, there isn't many a cannoli that I do not enjoy. (unless of course there's orange zest in the ricotta..then I'm over so it). Anyways, stumbled upon this little gem at the garlic fest. Filled before my eyes... Rich Sweet Creamy Chocolate-chippy (a word? I don't care) It was everything I wanted and more. Actually just googled this place a week later because I'm craving another one of those delicious...and arguably, the best cannoli I've ever had. read more

I've had there store bought pastries before, but today we went to their bakery. Awesome customer service by Chris. HUGE selection of everything looking sooo yummy! So fresh & fabulous! read more

Leave the gun, take the cannoli. I have never been to the bake shop, but picked up a very good chocolate chip-chocolate covered-almond mandel broit at the coventry farmers market. good stuff. now i just need to get to the shop and check out what other goodness they make .. read more

Wow!!!! The cupcakes! I loved the "hostess" one. My friend had the peanut butter cup and said it was amazing. They are absolutely beautiful! Everything else looks fantastic too! This is my second trip in a week! Uhoh! read more

Imaginative pastries that could get 5 stars if done properly. Problem is, they all just taste like pastry. I had a nutella cannoli and instead of tasting like nutella, it tasted like a regular cannoli. Not a great cannoli either with that gritty, cheesy mascarpone, just your average sweet one. If they were priced more reasonably I may have returned them a star, but I don't see myself coming back. read more
