The Crisp Cannoli - Bakery & Cafe
1 Springhurst Dr, Latham, NY
Crema's Take
“The Crisp Cannoli is a bustling neighborhood bakery where the pastries are the real star, with customers raving about fresh éclairs, the standout Dubai Cannoli, and an impressive rotating selection of sweet treats that justify a return visit. While their traditional coffee drinks are solid and breakfast options fill the menu, it's the quality of their baked goods and the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that keeps locals coming back, especially for a quick weekend indulgence or unhurried coffee meeting.”

Went on international donut day, donuts were good but a bit of chewy texture. Only thing that was disappointing was the cinnamon roll, it was dry and hard. (Edit) So I came back after the owner asked that I retry the cinnamon roll, the 2nd time it was definitely better and fresher but maybe I just prefer a thicker roll but wasn't dry. The fudge fancy was decent but on the smaller side compared to other local bakeries. The Lobster tail wasn't bad just have never had a custard filled so it has a different taste and it's very crispy. The Maple Cream Bacon Cronut was amazing and made the trip worth it. 3rd trip - Crodo still on top, blueberry Cake was better than the first time I had it. I came to try the apple fritter and was disappointed, it was more like a donut with chopped apples on top and glazed. Was very fresh, just needed to be mixed better with apples all throughout. The cannoli was good, was filled when I ordered. 4th Trip - The cinnamon roll is way better than when I first tried it, can tell they're actively improving on it. Texturely a huge improvement. The crodo still amazing. The apple fritter, it had more apple pieces than last time, but I always love more.
Really blown away by everything at The Crisp Cannoli. Ahead of my visit, I knew a little bit of their selection but WOW they had so many sweet treats. It was a very busy Saturday so I felt a little rushed with looking but my family and I chose a good variety of things to try. The breakfast sandwiches were also incredible. Fried egg, delicious bacon and huge!!
Beautiful place. Everything we ordered was delicious and the eclair tasted like it was just made fresh. They have so many delicious pastries. Service was pretty fast. Can’t wait to go back!
Went here years ago when they had their first location across from My Place and was not impressed at all. This time everything was amazing. The Dubai Cannoli was so damn good! The breakfast bagel sandwich was real good. Should have 2 more pieces of bacon. Not sure about the bagel. Wasn't sure if it was commercial or locally made. The blueberry cake donut was also good. The lattes were perfect and they have specialty and seasonal flavors. Definitely will return.
First time here, and truly I am very disappointed. I ordered a gluten free honey mustard chicken wrap, and a side of fries. The sandwich was absolutely bare with all bread, sauce but no chicken. In the picture it will show that there was one slither of chicken in half of the sandwich… there was only four small slices of chicken on the other half that was the half the length of my pinky finger… The service I received from Cory on the other hand was remarkable. He was very kind and thoughtful when I told him about being gluten free. He was also very assuring of how delicious the food is, which unfortunately I did not receive…
