I have got to say that Termini's is a great bakery! They have hands down the best ricotta cannolis in the business and I have tried a lot of them. Even ordered trays of them for my son's wedding! The chocolate covered bananas with raspberry and cookie filling are a favorite too! The service is great! read more

We do like the items we've tried for the most part, but it is overpriced. My husband really liked the almond cookie, but they are $5 each. The pecan bar is a good size (enough to share since it's so dense) and tastes like pecan pie. The cannoli I'm not crazy about. The shells seem overcooked IMO and are darker and harder than I'm used to. The filling doesn't stand out either. Maybe if they dipped them in chocolate they'd be better. The 3" cakes are cute but $7 each so we didn't try one. I would have paid $5. read more

I love coming here because it has the complete selection of pastries and cookies. On a busy day, the line starts on the right side as soon as you enter the store. My favorite is always the ricotta cannolo and the chocolate covered banana. Make sure to stop by here before Easter because they have special Italian pastries such as ricotta pie with candied fruits, Easter bread, sweet rice pies. Service never disappoints. Staff is friendly and courteous. read more

I meant to order a cheesecake for the day before Easter but somehow ordered it for the following week without noticing. I sent my husband to pick it up but of course there was nothing to pick up. They were able to fill the order anyway so we got our cheesecake for Easter. My dad loves a few hours away and that's what he wanted for Easter. read more

Came by to grab some cannolis and I love that they still have that old school feel to it. Ordered all three cannolis and I gotta say the vanilla one is my favorite. My friends really liked them and I'd be back to get some more! The packaging of the pastries also makes these a good gift too! read more

The service here is excellent. The gal working was so friendly and just put me in a good mood being there. They have wonderful Italian pastries and cookies as well as small cakes. I was able to get a personal size tira misu for my friend on her birthday here. It's no surprise this is a city icon. read more

The BEST bakery in the city for cannoli's. I've tried so many at other places but something about Termini Bros hits differently. I'm sure their other pastries, cakes, etc. are also incredible but I sincerely just come for the cannoli. Best in town. read more

This easily is one of the best cannolis I've had, ever. Most of the time I feel like the cannoli is a little imbalanced with the outer shell being too high of a ratio to the inside filling. This had, imo the perfect ratio of filling to shell. The shell was also like REALLY flavorful... and supple. It was so good. My friend brought these cannoli back from Philadelphia to our channukah dinner in the DC area. I'm so so glad she introduced me to them. I will seek them out if I'm in the Philadelphia area. And they truly were the perfect little dessert to bring. The FILLING was so good too. And they are packaged in string. I mean... can't say enough good things about these cannoli. read more

Wow! First time in this store and I was blown away by how cute everything was! We came in on Saturday afternoon to pick up some cannolis and they did not disappoint! The ladies working were so sweet- definitely tempted to get more than we needed but everything looked good! read more

Classic Italian bakery with yummy treats. We loved the cannoli, although they are quite pricey. The dough is great and crispy, the filling is smooth and Lucious and tasty. We also picked up a crumb cake to bring to a holiday party. Great spot in reading terminal market to pick up some goodies. read more

You need a cannoli? You're going to want to come to Termini because this is the cannoli place! Sadly I can't eat the shells because of the gluten issue, but the filling is so freaking yummy. Anyway, I've been here a bunch of times to get cookies and pastries and everything has always been absolutely perfectly delicious. The shop is always clean and the staff has never been anything less than delightful. Definitely 5 stars all around! read more

Outstanding. One of the better bakeries I've ever visited. They pipe the cream into the cannoli when you order it, that way the cream doesn't make the pastry soggy. But don't just order their famous cannoli (for which they're very rightfully well-known). The lobster tails are terrific. The pecan bars are unreal. Everything they have was made that morning, and the pastry is still maintaining its flake. The cream...my dead Lord. The service is always great. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. And I love the aesthetic of the store. It's very old school and maintains its charm. Worth going out of your way to visit. read more

I decided to give Termini Bros another try. This time there was one person in front and she was great. She greeted me immediately and began filling my tray with the goodies I was taking home. When I told her about my previous experience she was apologetic and was concerned that I was treated poorly. As for the baked goods: I liked cannoli was good - delicious the r filing but the shell was bland. The pecan diamond was sublime, and pre-packaged almond/pistachio bars (a sponge with nuts as you enter) was so yummy I didn't want to share. So, I will go back for a service tie-breaker. read more

Cute bakery with the iconic pastries in Philly. This original location was cute and out and had a nice vibe. The pastries lined up were all perfect. We tried the iconic cannoli. It was so delicious and definitely worth the hype. No place to eat inside so we went across the street to the coffee shop since they also own that. Definitely worth checking out it when in Philly. read more

Some of the best baked goods I've had in a long time. The Tiramisu cake was absolutely fantastic - I couldn't bring the fork to my mouth fast enough. The shop itself is also very picturesque and the service was quick! They fill the cannoli when you order it so the shell was not soggy at all! read more

Termini Bros Bakery - Red velvet cake, carrot cake, tira misu cake, cannoli - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A classic old time bakery shop! A storied Philadelphia tradition. All the baked good are displayed in cases in the center of the shop plus along thr walls. A bakery staffer follows you with a tray which is filled as you make your selections. Cool memorabilia abounds. The must have is the cannoli. Classic ricotta filling - creamy, slightly sweet, rich - is mixed with small chocolate chips. Crunchy fresh shells. Stuffed to order. With a dash of powdered sugar. One of the best I've ever had. read more

tl;dr load up on traditional ricotta cannolis; these desserts are what dreams must be made of Since Giuseppe and Gaetano Termini first opened up their South Philadelphia bakery in 1921, the name Termini has become synonymous with Italian pastries. Perhaps the most iconic are their cannolis, freshly baked and hand-piped. Even after nearly 100 years of history and several new locations, Termini has stood the test of time and still feels comfortably charming. A can't-miss red-and-green neon sign hangs from the flagship location on 8th St. Indoors, the large, rectangular room stretches far back. Bright lighting fixtures hang from the polished pressed tin ceilings, and non-slip mats are laid across the black-and-white floors. The whitewashed walls are decked heavily with antique ornaments, Termini family photos, Philadelphia memorabilia, and holiday-themed decorations. Customers make a U through the tastefully old-school, wood-and-glass bakery displays. The confections lineup spans from cookies and pastries to whole decorated cakes. The center island is stocked with stainless steel trays, each lined with countless empty cannoli shells. I arrived right before closing on a weekday, and Termini still had a steady trickle of customers. I ordered a Ricotta Cannoli and a Chocolate Cannoli, and the mostly disinterested staff member ran to the back and efficiently piped them to order. Both cannolis were relatively large, boasting a perfectly crispy shell and a healthy dusting of powdered sugar. The generously rich ricotta filling was as decadent as the best gelato I could imagine. I would probably opt for a chocolate dip on the shell and a heavier hand on the mixed-in chocolate chips, but neither detracted from this classic cannoli being among the best I've ever eaten. Meanwhile, the chocolate-filled variety was oddly neither ricotta nor chocolate; rather, it seemed to serve as a neutral option for the staunchly anti-ricotta camp. Between the two, the ricotta filling was an easy favorite. The cannolis run $6 each, and I was in and out of the bakery in a matter of minutes. Termini's traditional ricotta cannolis can outcompete the dessert menu at most sit-down restaurants, and these decadent pastries remain one of my favorite sweets -- well worth the hike to South Philly. read more

Termini Bros Bakery - Ricotta Cannoli - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Heaven on earth tastes like half a banana on top of a curved amaretti cookie with cream and raspberry preserves... COVERED IN CHOCOLATE. Sure, it will set you back $7 a pop, but if you want to experience this bliss, whip out that credit card (which they take, despite their old school vibes and cash registers). Their staff here is much nicer than Isgros, and one lady tells me this is her fav thing here every time I stop in, which is often because they have great hours. I was wary when our neighbor first shared this with us, but ever since then, if I pass termini, I'm never NOT stopping in to get (at least) one of these. A delectable treat that is sorta maybe kinda healthy?? read more

Termini Bros is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a vintage shop. There is so much memorabilia and even a vintage cash register. Their shop is so unique and clean, with huge amounts of options for a bakery. The food is impeccable, and tastes delicious. I would definitely recommend the red velvet cake and a cannoli. They also offer gift boxes with a variety of different kinds of desserts. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Had such a wonderful experience at this bakery. The cannolis were hand pipes with filling, and we were able to try their coffee shop across the street. Great place to grab something sweet after eating a cheesesteak. read more

Ok ok ok like whoa this will kick your sweet tooth into overdrive just be stepping inside this scrumptious bakery as there is just too much awesomeness to choose from! Their cannolis were soo good super creamy crispy and it had chocolate chips in it making for one yummy experience with each bite! The cheesecake was soooo good like the cheesy creamy factor was beyond amazing like this hit the spot in soo many ways! They do have a few places to park on the side of the building which everyone knows how hard it is to park in Philly so definitely take advantage of that if you can! Overall this was an awesome bakery with tons of goodies so do yourself a favor and just stop by you'll be stoked you did! read more

Recently picked up cannolis for friends and family out of town. Great staff and of course delicious pastries!

This was a really cute, old school bakery. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We had: - Cupcakes - my kids were so so on them - Cannoli - good but NYC good The cakes looked really good. read more

The staff was friendly and helpful and all of the baked goods looked sooooo good, I wish I could have had them all. I understand why they're known for their cannolis, if you're visiting and a fan of cannolis, you gotta get them. They're perfectly crisp and sweet, a must try! I also got a pumpkin muffin with a cream cheese filling and that's also delightful, the perfect mix of delicious and not too sweet. read more

Christmas Eve. Not enough help down at packer park location . 30 year customer. Not great.

Philly is my hometown, and I have known Termini Bros for a long time. I usually go to their Reading Terminal location, but this time decided to go to the original location. The store itself is so appealing with memorabilia from the olden days. The service at this location is more friendly, whereas the Reading Terminal location is a bit gruff. You can find a street parking near the original location so it was not a big issue. I usually go to get cannolis, seriously, I think their cannolis are the best. I am not a huge fan of their other sweets, but that's just me. If you are craving for cannolis go to Termini Bros! read more

Probably the best cannoli I've ever had. Ricotta filling w/ chocolate chips was amazing, and the shell was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and somehow intact all the way until the last bite.

Excited to come back and try all of the different baked goods on display - everything looked fantastic. Great spot. read more

We received a Signature Cookie Tin from Termini Brothers as a Christmas gift -- two pounds of assorted Italian cookies with candies and candy coated almonds.

So many options it's almost overwhelming! I tried the tiramisu, which was perfect. I enjoyed the classic flavors, but with the extra bedazzle. It was dense but very good. It even had a little coffee bean in the middle. I was not a fan of the cannoli at all. When I got there, they would fill the shells after I ordered. However, the shells were not crispy when I tried them, and the filling upset my stomach. Maybe I'll give them a second chance in the future. read more

I ordered a ricotta pie, which arrived thawed with a mere 3x5 gel bag to keep it cold but the bag was at room temperature as was the pie. When I called Termini to express concern and to report that this was unhealthy -- i.e., it made for an ideal environment for bacterial growth. Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and E. coli thrive in these conditions. Heather at Termini was unconcerned and her only response was to offer a refund. MY CONCERN was not the money but the lack of safety in shipping this perishable food item. When I insisted it was unhealthy, she disconnected the call. read more

Termini Bros Bakery - The cheesecake I got for my Team - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Absolutely incredible cannolis. We stopped by Sunday afternoon and there was barely a line. We lined up and every customer is individually helped by an associate with a tray. As we were full from lunch, we shared one original cannoli. Hands down best cannoli I've had in Philly. Although quite pricy at $6, it was so good. The filling was really soft and creamy, almost like a light whip. I found myself fiending for more after one bite. There wasn't a ton of chocolate chips, which I actually preferred. There was also some fruits I think inside which gave it some textural contrast. The shell had just the right amount of crunch and a slight hint of almond. Tasted super fresh and held its own against the cannoli cream. We gobbled it up super fast and was tempted to get another. read more

I ordered a few items for Valentines Day and Termini Bros DELIVERED (figuratively and literally -- with a $30 minimum they will deliver for a $5 fee). Cheesecake is basically its own food group in this house and this one was solid. Made better with the beautiful custom writing. Crust was very thin. The tiramisu was very light and fluffy and delicious. The cupcake was good too but ranks in third place. Overall, everything was great and made even better with delivery on Valentine's Day with only a few days notice. read more

This place was so pretty and cool to walk around in (sorry, i didn't take any pictures)! Seems like a lot of history behind this place. They had a memorial up front for one of the owners that was really sweet too. I wandered around for a bit (they had caught my eye from the street) and picked out a bag of chocolate chip cookies and a lemon blueberry muffin. Omg they were both so yummy!! Definitely recommend. They have so many italian desserts too (cannolis, biscotti) that i didnt try but looked delicious! Staff was very friendly (you look around and they'll grab the goods for you). Would love to come back! read more

[1030] 11/2019 I visited the Reading Terminal Market location a ton of times and really liked their baked goods I had company from out of town so decided to check out this location. I'm so glad I did as everything about my visit was amazing. Tons of parking in their huge lot next door. This is huge as this location is located in a "I wish I had a driveway" location. Otherwise I'm not sure if we could visit. Arrived 30 min before closing and you couldn't tell as it we never felt rushed. The staff even took us to the back baking area so my son could fill a cannoli. As an avid baker I was in heaven. It was cool to see the backroom and all the tools and supplies. We picked up a ton of items such as mini cakes, cannolis, cupcakes, chocolate bananas .. just to name a few. Everything was amazing that my cousin stopped in again the next day to bring home goodies to her family in NH. My first experience was top notch and I am sad I lived in the area for a decade and never visited. I'll be back read more

Cannoli was absolutely amazing but incredibly overpriced at $6 PER cannoli. Even though these are pretty big, they certainly don't justify the price. I had to remove one star for mainly the price, and I had to dock another because I also bought a Zeppole that looked very promising but was unfortunately very stale making for an unsatisfying eat. read more
