Some cravings simply refuse to be ignored... and mine was a cannoli. Thankfully, The Sicilian Baker never disappoints! 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. read more

The Sicilian Butcher is one of my favorite restaurants in town. So, my recommendation is that you make it a one-two punch. Have a meal at The Sicilian Butcher and then follow that up with dessert at The Sicilian Baker. There are several locations in town, with this one being in North Phoenix. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Thursday. Parking tends to be busy in their complimentary lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is connected to The Sicilian Butcher. It's a small bakery, with only a few seats. More of a grab-and-go type of spot or the source of your dessert if you're dining at the restaurant. While small, the decor and ambiance is nice. Service (3/5): A little bit of bad luck, but on my most recent visit, they were having trouble with their refrigeration so no gelato was available. While interacting with the staff, it was an average experience. I will say that the service was much better in the restaurant. Drinks (N/A): I only got dessert, but they do have coffee and a few other beverages available. Food (4/5): The Sicilian Baker is known for its cannolis, tiramisu, gelato, and lobster claws (dessert, not real lobster haha). On my most recent visit, I had a cannoli. They have your classic cannoli but also a nice variety of other fillings including pistachio, Reese's, and more. A+ for creativity, though I decided to stick with the classic. Solid. In fact, all of the desserts I've had here over the years have been quite good. read more

After a wonderful meal next door at The Sicilian Butcher, our waiter suggested some dessert, but little did I know they had a whole bakery connected to the restaurant. I can't speak on the customer service as we never left our table and our waited just walked over and got what we needed. We were pretty stuffed from our massive meal, but we decided on sharing a cup of gelato just to satisfy our sweet tooth. I peeked inside as our table was right at a little walkway from the restaurant to the bakery. Gelato is just one of many things they serve here. They also have all your typical Italian desserts. Cakes like tiramisu, pastries like Italian flag cookies, cookies like Italian wedding cookies, cannolis of different varieties, and of course gelato. What was suggested to us if we wanted gelato was the hazelnut flavor. I was expecting a little cup for the 6 of us just to get a taste, but what he brought over was a massive serving. I don't know how many scoops it was or even how much we even paid, but we all got plenty with some even left behind. Now this gelato was life changing. Probably the best I've had in the states. I know it's gotta be way better in Italy, but I'll take what I can when I can. Think of a Ferrero Rocher but in gelato form. It was delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. It wasn't overly sweet and it had a little crunch with bits of chocolate and hazelnuts. My sweet tooth was extremely satisfied after having dessert here. I have literally been thinking about that gelato since I left Phoenix. Luckily this company has locations in Texas so I will definitely be seeking out this gelato soon. read more

As a born and raised New Yorker, I take food very seriously... and Italian pastries even more so. Just before Christmas, I was traveling from New Yawk (visiting my parents) back to Phoenix to attend a family dinner at my partner's parent's home in Scottsdale. While I was still in NYC with my family on XMas eve eve, it hit me... I need to bring something besides wine everytime I go to their home. Nor a Southern dish. I wanted something unapologetically New Yaek. And what's more New Yawk than a box of classic Italian cookies? After asking a few Yelp friends where to find the best Italian cookies in Phoenix, The Sicilian Baker kept coming up. I called them last minute on Christmas Eve eve, having never been there before, totally sight unseen. First of all, their voicemail is hilarious. Truly. If you do nothing else, call just to hear it. It will instantly make you want to order something. Once I reached a real person, I explained my situation, that I wouldn't be able to come in beforehand, I needed a beautiful cookie tray for about 14-16 people, and I had a few must have preferences. Without hesitation, they said, "We got you." I was assured it would be ready when I landed on Xmas eve. Sure enough, after my partner picked me up from the airport, we headed straight to The Sicilian Baker. Parking right out front, a huge plus. As soon as you pull in, you're greeted with Frank Sinatra playing, not just inside, but even in the parking lot. It sets the tone immediately. We walked in, gave my name, and within minutes a lovely young person brought out my tray. Ten minutes later, we were on our way. Easy. Efficient. Warm service that made me actually grab a small box of cookies to drop my besties home on the way outta there. I didn't even realize at first that there's a sit down restaurant next door where you can relax and enjoy something. Great to know for next time ;) . Now, let's talk about the cookies. Yes, they are on the pricier side, but every single dollar was worth it. The tray was robust. Classic Italian pastries across the board like lobster tails, tri-colored almond cakes, cannolis, and all the favorites you hope for when you're trying to impress a room full of potential inlaws. And impress it did. The moment I walked in with that tray, it was a hit. People were already claiming which pastries they wanted, plotting what they'd take home, and hovering before dinner was even finished. There was more than enough for 16 people, grand is the only word for it, which is my style 1,000%. To this day, they're still talking about those cookies which makes me phenomenally proud (and humbled). I say this in all my reviews, "I hate almost everything. I'm discerning. I'm critical. And when something truly represents what I stand for - quality, authenticity, and heart, I will shout it from the rooftops". The Sicilian Baker delivered New York level excellence in Phoenix! Do not walk, runswiftly to this place if you need a gift, a show stopping dessert, or simply want to treat yourself. I cannot wait to go back. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Fast service and good selection even at 430 pm! Tried the gelato ( salted caramel and orange) both delicious, but it was the lobster tail and Sfogliatella pastries that I love and can't find outside of Boston! We enjoyed outside on a nice afternoon. Want to come back for dinner some time soon to the sister restaurant. read more

Even though I was stuffed from lunch next door at the Sicilian Butcher, I couldn't leave without getting a gelato. My only regret was getting a single scoop. There was a bit of a wait but the dark chocolate Gelato with pieces of waffle cone was a most definite yummy treat! Helpful service and casual spot to get your sweet fix if you love gelato and all things italian desserts. Along with some of the most amazing canolis and cheesecake, this is a wonderful dessert spot! read more

This is a great local Italian takeaway bakery. Their cannoli bar offers shell and filling customization with about 12 flavored ricotta cream options (vanilla, pistachio, espresso, lemon, cookies & cream, etc.) and even flavored shells like white chocolate or confetti. We love that they make the cannoli's on demand so they are never soggy or stale. Also, don't sleep on the gelato as it is amazing as well. read more

Found this amazing Sicilian bakery in Scottsdale from Yelp. It was a short drive from the mountains and after a 2 hour hike we were hungry. Jayden took great care of us at the make your canoli bar and were even able to try a few flavors before settled on a key lime and pistachio one. They also have the traditional flavors or can get nontraditional ones such as nutella, key lime, pistachio etc.... We bought a few wedding cookies and their lemon cookies were to die for.Just the right amount of tangy sweetness. The bakery is set up to also accomodate dessert for their adjacent restaurant the Sicilian Butcher. Will absolutely come back and so excited to hear will be opening in Texas with 3 new locations in Houston. read more

I had a favorite things party to attend last night and needed to bring a dessert. While I've eaten at Sicilian Butcher more times than I can count, it was my first time going to Sicilian Baker. I walked in and oh man did all the desserts look amazing! I chose a random sampling of: lemon meringue pies, chocolate caramel tarts, wedding cookies, mini cannolis and regular cannolis. The guy working was super friendly and helpful, and I was REALLY popular at the party with all the tasty treats!! The space is small but it's clean, it displays little slices of heaven, and is totally worth the visit! read more

The pastries here are amazing! The service was a few young ladies who didn't want to be interrupted- each time had a question one would answer quickly, then turn back to their private conversation they weee having by the register. I had to literally interrupt each time I had a question, and when I wanted to place my pastry to go order. As in- they could see me approaching and did not break eye contact with each other or stop talking in subdued tones.. not sure why they thought I was approaching the counter if not to speak with someone and order. But I can't allow their professional retardation to keep me from the exquisite lobster tail. I love how the pastry chef fills the whole tail! I had custard cream all the way into the narrowest pastry! It made every single bite heavenly. You've got to try this place. Super fun ambience too! read more

Got to surprise a friend with wonderful goodies made with love. Great customer service.

One of the best dessert places in Phoenix. I tried the cheesecake, cannoli, cookies, and other treats over three visits. Desserts are all better than Defalcos or Cheesecake Factory. There is one major issue- they have no location in Atlanta!! read more

Very nice and attentive service! The worker was so nice and explained everything so well, she was great. I ended up getting a variety of the cookies, some gelato, and a custom Canoli. You can add half flavors to the canola and each scoop of the gelato which is cool. Lastly, my favorite part is that this place's deserts were not very sweet. Rarely, can I find places that don't make overly sugary sweets which is the standard American palate, but this place has the right balance of a not too sweet desert. read more

The service was very good but the products (assorted Sicilian cookies) were a colossal disappointment. Nothing at all like the authentic Sicilian Bakeries in New York. I am a pure bred Sicilian from Philly and New York. Nope - don't let the name fool you. I am only judging on the Sicilian cookies not their entire menu. read more

This review is strictly for the Lobster tails and gelato. The guy who was helping us was nice and friendly! We got one chocolate and vanilla. It was big and it really looked like a lobster tail but in pastry form. It tasty like a crispy croissant but with delicious filling! We took it to go and it was still crispy and light. I was expecting it to be soggy from the filling but to my surprise it wasn't. Generous amount of filling. My daughter had the Gelato and they had a good variety of flavors. We got mint chip and cookie butter. It was so good! Refreshing and great flavors! We will definitely be back to try some more desserts! read more

We stopped by as I was craving a morning pastry. Sicilian Baker is next to the Sicilian Butcher. The Baker offers custom filled cannoli, various italian pastries & cookies as well as espresso and coffee. The decor is a 10 very cutely decorated with rolling pins and mixer wisks hanging from ceiling or as light fixtures. We ordered 2 pastries; this is the basis of my review. Sfogiatelle (almond filled) and chocolate cannoncini (cream horn). They were very heavy, and both were chilled vs. room temp. The almond in particular had too much filling; I had to discard half the filling. The chocolate cream was lighter and tasted good. The pastry dough itself was a bit bland tasting. The variety or cannoli ricotta based fillings are clearly displayed, and this may have been a better choice. read more

Such a cool idea! They have a case that looks like it would hold ice cream but it holds different flavors of cannoli fillings! The staff was friendly and nice and offered for us to taste many of the flavors. They also suggested combos they like best, which is always a nice touch! The space is cute and clean, directly next to an Italian restaurant that also looked delicious. I ended up getting a pistachio crusted shell filled with half pistachio and half "seasonal" which was amaretto. This was a special and delicious experience that you can't get just anywhere! Highly recommend! read more

I sometimes skip cookies but oh my goodness, the cookies here are a real treat. Amaretti cookies have the perfect amount of chewiness and crunch to them and they're not overly sweet. I only bought 1 almond cookie. It was not overly inspiring but it was 75 cents. #worthit You can choose your own cannoli shell and cannoli fillings. Omg. The traditional is good, but I'm on a pb kick right now so the peanut butter filling is my favorite. I like it with a chocolate dipped cannoli shell. Yasssss. The chocolate hazelnut tart was a huge hit at our house. It's a crisp sugar dough shell with a rich chocolate ganache and topped with a candied hazelnut and chocolate decor. So rich you can share it or keep it all to yourself. You can never go wrong with the rainbow cookies. I buy at least 2 every time. Rich and delicious almond cake with just a little bit of chocolate. So so good. Tiramisu- kinda pricey at $13 but it's very good. It's not an overly "wet" tiramisu where it feels like the cake has lost its texture due to over saturation, and it wasn't dry leaving me wondering where the coffee was. Basically Goldilocks, it's just right. Not too sweet, not too much coffee. True to its name, it does pick you up. Service is always friendly here, they are patient when you get the deer in the headlights look when you're trying to decide what to get or with indecisive children. Don't skip this place if you like to treat yourself. It definitely helps make life sweet. read more

Disappointed in our food today but have always enjoyed our meals in the past. Today, 5/1 we had lunch and all our chopped salads were missing cheese and only incorporated a very small amount of salami (one diner had two cubes). The sandwiches were suppose to be dressed with a vinaigrette but the chef forgot that and very little deli meat on the sandwich. I think today maybe was just not a good day. Wait staff were very attentive and no complaints. We will try again but we're disappointed today. read more

I found the Sicilian Butcher to be a small chain of Italian dessert stores throughout the Phoenix area that came highly recommended as a result of local blogs and list. What I found was a clean storefront that offered a shortist of some of the most common desserts that go well with lattes, cappucinos and limoncellos. This is looking specifically at their desserts. Mini cannoli - this was a bit lackluster in flavor, specifically within the creme. I found the outside crunch to be excellent, but didn't wow me in any way. I do this is good for one person, although the regular size would be good for one hungry person or split between two people. Italian wedding cookie - this was a hard cookie that is very common, but didn't seem to have the sweetness or softness of the traditional wedding cookie. I don't think this was as great as it could have been. I would opt for this over a cannoli, however. Latte - served to go, I found this to be a very light latte without much espresso strength. While this may have been the case with the oat milk option, I hoped for a bit more, and for it to be a bit hotter. I do think people really like this place could use more than a great decor, but a bit more in flavor for the desserts. I did like the clean atmosphere, steadfast service, and availability. read more

Parking is ample. Service is excellent. I ordered an expresso gelato for $4.50. A pretty good price and genuine expresso with coffee beans in it. The assorted box for $18 is very good. The cookies I believe are typically $1 and for 20 cookies in box assorted of all 4 types of cookies a very good price. My main visit was for fruit tart. I have been to Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego, etc to try out fruit tarts. The crust was thin and delicious, the cream was different, the fruits fresh,. The only thing that was questionable to me was that it was $10 for an average size small tart. Most places have been less than $10. Overall Service was good, read more

The cannoli's.... !! Fast, knowledgeable and efficient staff delivering fantastic Italian deserts and pastries.

Sunday afternoon, having a BBQ, all set, but forgot about dessert. I've passed this place 100 times. Well, finally I stopped in. The store is very cute and has an array of bakery goods along with a Gelato counter too. Not knowing the process of ordering, it was explained to me by a very nice gentlemen behind the counter along with giving me tasters of the Creams offered. I noticed all employees wearing masks. I ordered 6 Chocolate dipped Cannoli Shells, 3 filled with pistachio cream and 3 filled with Regular Cream and a secret dessert for just me, the Napoleon. Coming from NYC with Little Italy in my back yard, this place has some big shoes to fill and indeed they did for an Arizona supplier. I will say for me, the Chocolate Dipped was a bit too rich, though my guest loved them. Next time I'll stick with the traditional shell. To note: my Napoleon was heavenly! Atmosphere: small, clean, following store covid rules. Service: excellent. Desserts: heavenly read more
