Frangelli's Bakery

On frannoli day they had frannoli for $2 . For my coworkers birthday I ordered vanilla cake with lemon fillings and frosting. Delicious

If I could give 10 stars I would! I consider myself a donut connoisseur because I can eat them all day, errday.... Yes I said errday! I have my favorite donut place in my area because the bag be greasy like it's a cheese steak . These right here took the cake, donuts and pie. I bit into it and was in heaven. I had white powder everywhere so it was believable. It was huge and so much icing, you would be willing to share. I started with my favorite white cream, it was gone so fast, I had to go back for a jelly. Mr. Jelly was the talk of the office. I highly recommend!Grade : A+A+A+A+

Definitely a hidden gem! Wish more people knew about this place, locals know how good this spot is. Not as well known as some of the others but it is definitely one of the staples in the city for Italian delicacies in my book! Most well known for their "Frannoli" a cannoli inspired and filled donut. The homemade jelly is excellent and pumped into your donut right in front of you!

tl;dr the signature Franolli is worth a try for any cannoli-lover, but it pales in comparison to the best South Philly pastriesFrangelli's Bakery was established in South Philadelphia by Joseph Frangelli back in 1947, and it's called its current location at 9th and Ritner home since 1994. While Frangelli's hosts a long donut and Italian pastry lineup, it is perhaps best known for the "Franolli": a powdered donut piped with chocolate-chip cannoli cream.An off-white sign hangs from the townhouse over the corner shop, and the windows are outfitted with custom tricolor neon signs. Expect a queue on the weekend, as the line trails out the door. The large donut-and-pastry display highlights an otherwise tiny and austere room. The walls are painted a dull salmon pink, and warm lights hang from the ceiling. A refrigerator filled with cakes is pressed against the exposed-brick wall in the back, and a self-pour coffee station is nestled next to the west-side window. I arrived early afternoon on a Saturday, and, after a 5-minute wait, I snagged one of the day's final Franollis. The donut component was soft, fluffy, and heavily dusted with powdered sugar -- solid by any corner donut shop standard. Meanwhile, the generous helping of cannoli cream was not quite as rich or sweet as nearby South Philly pastry shops. Further, the Franolli was sorely missing a crispy contrast to the filling -- it reminded me more of a cream puff than either a donut or a cannoli.Service was efficient, and each moderately large Franolli will set you back $4. Frangelli's donut-cannoli hybrid is worth a try for the sheer novelty. However, the abundance of standout Italian bakeries nearby makes it hard-sell to return here again.

Absolutely worth going for the eclairs, cinnamon rolls, and some of the donuts. Classic donut was pretty good as well as oreo donut. But my favorites for now are eclairs and cinnamon rolls! They don't have coffee, and they also do not have knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's more of a in and out spot, which is fine I guess. I can handle terrible customer service for 2 minutes...as long as the pastry is excellent.

Greatest bakery for donuts old school and cakes you won't be disappointed You will be delighted and keep coming back for more and more

Just look at this heavenly creation known as the cannoli donut. And put the phone down and go get one. Holy schnikies this is amazing!

I've been wanting to check out this place for ages and finally had the chance. Upon walking inside, I was amazed by how modern and welcoming the inside is. I must say that the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Also everything is so affordable. We got 8 items for $15. Everything looked amazing and we ended up ordering a variety of things. I was so excited to see George Washington cake and Jewish apple cake as both are favorites from my dad's childhood and it can be hard to find these days. We ordered a slice of those 2 cakes, 1 jelly filled donut and 2 cream donuts, a coconut donut, frannoli, cinnamon cheese crumb roll, and an apple danish. The donuts are filled with the cream to order. Sadly, although everything looked delicious, once we sampled everything, it was pretty disappointing. Flavors were extremely lacking. The crumb cake was dry and had no cheese, the George Washington cake crumbled and the icing separated from it, the donuts were just okay. Nothing blew us away and I can't say I'd order anything in particular again. I know this place has been around for a long time and I love supporting a local business, but it just wasn't memorable for me.

I came here on Tuesday and split a number of doughnuts with some friends including- 2 Plain Glazed Donut- 1 Caramel Glazed Donut- 2 Sugar Twists- 1 Buttercream Filled Vanilla Donut- 1 Buttercream Filled Chocolate Donut- 1 Chocolate Glazed CrullerAll the donuts tasted freshly made from the morning, but were a bit too sugary for my tastebuds. The cream filled ones especially felt super heavy. Overall, not a bad haul, especially at the price and the size of each donut, but would probably grab donuts from elsewhere next time!

Delicious baked goods including sticky buns and, my favorite, cream filled donuts. Very nice people.
