Crema's Take
“This Seattle spot transforms the humble cannoli into an art form, crafting each one to order so the shells stay impossibly crisp while the filling stays luxuriously fresh. Beyond the impressive array of flavors—from pistachio to chocolate—they've created standout drinks like their Pistachio Affogato and offer thoughtful options like decaf espresso drinks and gluten-free pastries, making it a welcoming destination whether you're meeting a friend or treating yourself to something special.”

Tried the cannoli assortment at Cannolo and it was terrific. They make them to order, so the crème is very fresh and the shells stay crisp. Great variety of flavors — from pistachio to chocolate and fruit toppings — and nothing was overly sweet. A fun way to sample different options in one box.
My husband and I LOVE stopping by Cannolo when we are down in Seattle! Their Pistachio Affogato is delicious! They can also make it with decaf espresso. Definitely check out their gluten free cannolis! We are huge fans! Owners are super fun too!
First time trying a cannoli so no other to compare it to, but it's kind of like a waffle cone filled with fluffy cheesecake in terms of texture and flavor. The mini cannolis are about three inches long and $6 each so pretty expensive little snack. The cheesecake was light and fluffy. All items were like medium sweet, not over or underwhelming so good if you like moderate sugar. I didn't try the shake since it's like $14 but it looks good. The interior is clean and open, with some seating inside or outside available. The employees were very nice and there was a pretty relaxed feel overall. Pricey, but cute little place.
Good Italian pastries, but with room for improvement. The affogatto taste was fine, but there was so much gelato for the amount of espresso that the coffee went cold very quickly, killing the classic temperature contrast. The cheesecake has a nice crunchy base and a soft filling, but it had so much topping that it was impossible to taste any cheese flavor, and it became overly sweet. The cannolo was alright, but lacking some flavor. Overall a good experience though.
A tasty treat destination. Fancy, fun cannolis served in a modern, upscale dessert cafe. It delivers on the premise. You can get sweet treats and drinks. The main feature, the cannolis, come with several topping options. They were all pretty good so I think you’ll be pleased with whatever strikes your fancy. They have a selection of other snacks and drinks as well. The real standout of my order was the gelato milkshake I had. Super tasty. Makes me confident in the rest of the menu. The staff was attentive and nice. It took a minute to get my food, but considering they’re putting together all those cannolis by hand, it makes sense. The store was nice and had a good amount of seating for this kind of establishment. It’s a little sterile, but fine. Everything is a little pricey, but the quality for that price is there. If you’re nearby and looking for a fancy dessert, this is a great choice.
