The cannoli does not live up to italian standards. Coming from sicily, it does not compare. Ok, yea, they don't use ricotta in their cannoli, they have their own cannoli cream. If you wanna compare a cannoli cream cannoli, the best is in brooklyn, Villabate. Also, the best in sicily is euro bar in Dattilo or Oscar in palermo.

Good, but watch out for the prices. In my opinion far too expensive for the quality. A single, small canoli is $7.50!

Excellent fruit tart but some of the other offerings seemed old - and too expensive compared with direct competitors like Stellas - which is also open late. The fruit tart was excellent. Cute little berries all glued together to perfection. Price was a little high but I'm forgiving - if I had tried just this one item I would give the shop four stars. The pine nut cookie seemed very very old. It was stale and chewy and stuck to my teeth in a horrible way. I noticed it had this overpowering almond extract and I didn't like it. It lacked a pure taste that you would get at Tartine (the best bakery in SF). The rum cake was beautiful but I suspect it wasn't very fresh. I know there is difficulty with keeping things fresh when the hours of operation are so long but I suspect this was more than 24 hours old. I picked it up and it leaked and oozed sugary syrup. It was an unpleasant experience. Taste was good and the filling was great but it just wasn't presented well in the soggy wet tiny paper that it came with. If it would come in a clear plastic cup with a fork I think I would be more forgiving - but this was horrible. Variety was outstanding - five stars for this... Usually bakeries try to have as much variety as possible as it statistically increases the amount that any given patron orders. Its not working here. Neighboring bakeries have lines but none here. I would slash offerings and only put out what is most popular. In general I would come for gelato and the fruit cups. After I bought mine there was only one left and everything else seemed to be in full supply even though it was late at night. Really have to take a hint. Prices are way too high. A cannoli can be found for half price around the corner - a couple desserts for $16 is something that only Tartine can get away with. I would go to Stellas or Cafe Greco if you need late night. Stellas is where the locals go and cannolis and cookies are way fresher as they have enormous turnover. Cafe Greco has a great European style cheesecake. Try those. There is this app 'To good to go' I think this bakery needs to sign up for it in order to minimize food waste and ensure freshness. To the store owner: your welcome for a review with an embedded business analysis.

Went here for some pastries and a coffee, the lady working behind the counter was really rude and gave me some weird glares when I gave her my order. She also didn’t ask me if I wanted a receipt and was very quick to shuffle me out of the store. I’m fairly certain I didn’t order $45 dollars worth of stuff so it kind of seems like she overcharged me on purpose then kept the receipt. The pastries were good but not that good. I will not be coming back.
Very overpriced for below-average baked goods - half of their inventory looks like stuff you would find prepackaged at a cheap discount grocery store. Don't waste your money here.

I enjoy coming here whenever I'm in Little Italy San Francisco ca.The bakery has a South Philly charm ! The selection of pastries are Canolies, Biscotti and expresso served with a nostalgic spirit! Cozy indoor seating and warm hospitality! Mara's gets my vote! ?☕?

Even one star is too much for this place . I visited this place twice in the past month but the service is pathetic, the staff at both the times were rude and unprofessional. My bill was more than $40 and they don’t even answer your queries . Rude people, stay away from this place.

Staff was friendly but everything we ordered was not good: Napoleon, raspberry ring, elephant ear, cinnamon palmier. We ended tossing every thing and going to Victoria's. You could tell nothing was fresh because it was soft and not crispy. Flavorless. No clue how this place stays in business maybe tourism. Coffee was good.

Pastries are really stale, chocolate croissant was like a brick
Really hard to pass up fresh sweets when walking by and they sell lots of other options like beverages. The service is incredible and staff makes me feel welcome every time.

Excellent pastries, cookies, cakes. cannolis and tarts! Wide variety and freshly baked. They also make espresso and craft coffee drinks, Italian sodas and teas. And they have gelato so this place has everything you need. It's been here forever and the service, prices and quality is as good as ever.
