Excellent bakery!!! Chocolate cake and biscotti are fantastic!!! Prices are reasonable and being available via Doordash allowed me to surprise my son for his birthday.

I took decided to try Isgro bakery today because I missed the traditional Italian pastries my grandparents would serve at Christmas. I arrived at the back of the line at 10am. It was down on block and around the corner! There was a fun and festive atmosphere and comraderie amongst all those waiting. Staff constantly circulated through the line with trays of cookies and shots of amaretto or anisette! About 45 minutes later, I received my number ticket to go inside and I waited a short time inside for the customers ahead of me to get their treats and pay. The bakery was still well stocked with cookies, cakes and pastries despite having nonstop customers since they opened that morning. I chose some delicious smelling amd fresh sposfogliatella, fruit tarts loaded with fresh fruit and an almond horn. I shared these delicious treats with my mom who agreed that they were so fresh and tasty, just like the pastries we shared many years ago with my Italian family at Christmas. I will definitely be returning here to sample some more of their treats!!

A century-old Italian pastry shop 🇮🇹✨ Their soft cookies totally surprised me — especially the anise-flavored one, so unique! 🍪 The cheesecake is definitely worth a try, but fair warning… it’s very sweet — enjoy it one small bite at a time 😋💛

When we checked out and it was $21 for a small box of cookies, I thought to myself “these better be the best Italian cookies I’ve ever had in my life” ….and it only took a few bites from a sampling of our cookie selection to confirm they are indeed the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life. Take all of my money!!! So delicious!

Hands down the BEST cannoli I’ve ever had. And believe me, I know cannoli. I’m a connoisseur of sorts. I’ve had them in Italy, New York, Boston, and pretty much anywhere else they have them. Unless you’re on a flight to Italy, these are going to be your best bet, even then, I’d do a side by side taste test and they might actually win. So do it. Just go. Get a cannoli or three. You won’t regret it! And if you do, then sorry, you don’t know a good Italian cannoli.
