Isgro Pastries

All the locals recommend this place and boy oh boy they did not steer me wrong. Traditional family owned and operated small business right here! The cannoli was the best I have ever eaten! So fresh, pastry was flaky with just the perfect amount of chocolate drizzle! They cost $7 but they are worth it! The Italian chocolate cookie was good but not my favorite that I tried. I loved the butter walnut cookies! Perfectly cooked and they were not dry like other ones I have tried in the past from other bakeries. The service is very classic and traditional. The waitress took my order writing everything down as I ordered it. Once completed she retrieved my order carefully placing all of my items into an adorable small box which she then proceeded to tie with red and white string. Check out my photos but more importantly go try them local gem!

Lines are long but move fast. Although they are extremely busy, the staff is very welcoming and friendly. They took their time answering any questions and didn't rush us or anyone else.I wanted to get the Mascarpone Zeppole but they didn't have it so I opted for the Sfogliatelle and Ricotta Canoli. Both pastries were good and only mildly sweet which I really appreciate! Unfortunately I wasn't blown away by either and found them just ok taste wise. Maybe I had my expectations set too high. I have heard their Mascarpone pastries are really good, would like to try those next time.

Isgro's is always my go to bakery in the Italian market. Their pasties are always fresh. If there is a line I promise it's worth the wait. The staff is super friendly and quick to help. The shop is small so prepare yourself for a crowded store! I personally love their ricotta cannolis and the ricotta cookies. The apple turn over was very tasty! Overall this place is great and pretty affordable. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

On a whim stopped by. When you walk in grab a number and start looking at all the treats. Literally everything looks delicious and IS delicious. I got a box of assorted cookies and two cannolis. Best cannoli I have EVER had. Showstopping. The person behind the counter was extremely helpful while I was making my choices. The mascarpone cannolis and the rainbow cookies were my favorite things. I am already trying to figure out how to get back here to get more. Definitely a highlight of the italian market.

The pastries are always on point! My family's favorite is the butter cookies. The flavor is exactly the way you remember as a kid. I feel like a lot of other bakeries try to replicate these and fail. I've had the cupcakes, cannoli, and tea biscuits and many styles of cakes throughout the years. Still my favorite bakery in the city.

One of our friends turned us on to this bakery, and it did not disappoint...FYI, getting to the bakery is definitely an adventure. There is nowhere to park and it's located in a busy area.We did get a little lucky, though...We went on a Saturday morning, very close to opening. This allowed us to find parking a few blocks away, but more importantly,  they were not busy yet. We weren't able to try the cakes, but the cannolis were so delicious.They offer four different style and all were so rich, creamy, and addictive. With crispy shells and decadence inside.... I had to force myself to stop eating them all at once!But the cookies were actually the best.Delicate , flavorful, nutty, scented, filled, rich and layered with flavorThese cookies made me rethink Italian pastry.I dont think I have ever had Italian cookies that good...in fact, I know I haven't.Each cookie was different,  but had the same magical quality...sweet but not too sweet.  Crunchy and smooth, a complicated concoction of what I am assuming is 100 years of trial and error, and hard work.I have never called a cookie well balanced,  or even considered such a thing....but these are....and it makes me so happy!Heavenly!

A classic Italian bakery in the heart of the Italian market! So many things to choose from whether you're bringing a cake to a party or looking for a little treat for yourself (the biscotti are delicious). The staffmembers are very friendly and will help you with your decision making. Prices are pretty standard for bakeries. FYI-Isgros is very popular so you may need to wait a little but (but the line moves pretty fast)!

My brother told me about this bakery that he always goes to that has good pastries, so I decided to try it out. And what a pleasant surprise! They have all kinds of desserts here, from your typical Italian cookies, flavored biscotti, and assorted pastries to their award-winning cannoli as well as birthday cakes. The staff are friendly, patient, and helpful. It can get really busy during the weekends and holiday + no parking- you have to get a number from the ticket dispenser on your way in & wait to be called.I got a dozen coconut macaroons, butter cookies, a strawberry ricotta cheesecake, tiramisu, and a few mascarpone cannoli. Everything tasted delicious, fresh, and not overly sweet. My mom loves their macaroons & my brother likes their tiramisu- he said it's one of the best he's ever had. My daughter ate all of the cookies and cheesecake- she said they were good. I really enjoyed the cannoli- perfectly crisp shell with ricotta and dark chocolate chip inside. Their desserts did not disappoint!

I saw their post on instagram that they are selling cookies with Bryce Harper's stare when he hit a home run at Game 3 NLDS. Unfortunately, they were sold out. It wasn't busy at on on a drizzly Saturday morning. I got my favorite pesca con crema. I also got boba rum cake, soaked with rum syrup, it's not boozy, and has a bit bitter taste. Sfogliatelle is ok, it's missing the candied orange. I also got mascarpone cannolo. Mascarpone is not as dense as ricotta, it's silky smooth similar to cool whip but. I prefer the ricotta filling.

Frustrated regarding the cake below, the middle of the cake was clearly scraped off and then reapplied messily. Disappointed that they would give someone such a messy looking cake. Do better Isgro.
