Frangelli’s Bakery

The people who work there were complete assholes, but they are south philadelphians (aka people born with no class) so not too surprised :-) I’ll write back once I eat this franolli

I’m not a big sweets eater, but I do love the Franolli, a canolli and donut hybrid. The staff is friendly and quick.

I’m not a huge sweets person but I did enjoy the franolli I ordered here. A mixture of a donut and a canolli with a chocolate chips and cream mixed in the inside. It was really soft and not too sweet, which I like. I’m not a Philly native so when I entered the neighborhood I thought it was just a tad bit sketchy, but I guess you gotta travel a distance to enjoy a sweet treat! Don’t expect it to be fancy or big, just a place selling a bunch of homemade pastries. I biked there… so next time if I visit Frangelli’s, I’ll probably just drive over, haha.

The Franollis are delicious. However the attention to the costumer is very poor, the ladies working there look mad and angry. The bakery is not the most charming one I’ve ever been. Overall the prices are good $ 3 for one franolli.

A classic South Philly staple. Their pumpkin roll was delicious and glazed donuts were exceptionally fresh. Close to my house and that is a dangerous combination
Overall great service and nice people giving you a sweet taste of South Philadelphia.

One word. Franolli. That’s all you need to know.
Got myself a Franolli (donut/​cannolli hybrid) at Frangelli’s Bakery today. Their donut’s are nice and soft. Nothing negative about it at all. Their cannolli filling is fantastic! Not too sweet and there’s plenty of it in the donut. It has mini chocolate chips in it and its incredible. The thing itself is huge. It’s $ 3, but so worth it.

Frangelli’s is perhaps the best kept secret in Philly. The donuts are fresh and won’t set you back twenty bucks like some of the more well-​known establishments. We got 3 sticky buns, 1 regular donut and a cannoli donut all for around $ 6. Yes, I said cannoli donut — what’s better than a cannoli filling? Maybe ice cream filling, which Frangelli’s also has.
While Frangelli’s donut displays aren’t fancy-​looking, the quality and the price of their product will keep me coming back whenever I get a hankering for something sweet.

One bite and bliss…
Famous for the franollis for a reason — they are outstanding. I like stopping in and grabbing a few items to take home to family or to a party. People always want to know the name of the bakery and some even know of the franolli fame when I bring it up. Its got a reputation for a reason — best bakery in south philly. I want my next birthday cake to come from Frangelli’s!

I’ve been to Frangelli’s a few times and had a great experience every time. The «Frannoli» (cannoli/​donut hybrid) is definitely a treat! In addition, cronuts and donuts are both delicious, a bit on the sweeter side. Great small family oriented South Philly bakery

My fondest memories of Frangelli’s are coming with my dad and picking out the donuts and cookies i wanted almost every saturday morning when i was a kid. Frangelli’s is definitely underrated in South Philadelphia. It is a classic italian bakery with delicious pastries. They’re now home of the Franolli which is only $ 3,00. Its a powdered donut with cannoli cheese in the middle, its amazing.
The donuts are great, if you haven’t already you should definitely drop a visit.

Got a dozen donuts. The mix between the donut and cannoli was amazing, the chocolate flying was my favorite! The sugar twist were also great. I wasn’t a fan of the donuts filled with buttercream, and then had a different cream on the top. My parents said the coffee was very good as well.

Frangelli’s is a great South Philly staple with great donuts. Be careful when looking for it because it can be kind of easy to miss nestled in between townhouses on a local block. The place is more for getting something to go rather than eating in.
Frangelli’s is a typical South Philly spot — family owned, great food, friendly staff, hours change depending on stock or how busy it is. I saw some complaints about their hours, but like all small family owned shops in South Philly they will close about 2 weeks of the year for vacation which is normal for this area. Just call to make sure. I always bring cash when going to any place in South Philly but this spot might take cards, not sure.
The cronuts are really good here but to me the donuts are just as good and a little cheaper. The item you have to try is not the cronut, but the ice cream donut that they have in the summer. Probably my favorite dessert/​summer treat of all time. They also have good cakes and other baked items for parties here but usually I stick with the donuts. Definitely a must try in South Philly.

Some of my favorite donuts in the city! The sugary twisted ones are my favorite and the chocolate dipped are my second favorite! Go early in the morning and get them when they’re warm! The cannolis are good too!

Ok so I stopped in here after a 40 minute ride from the Northeast. It was about 11 am on Monday, I ordered a Donnoli.
Pros
— Donnoli was fabulous and was worth every penny!
Cons
— counter girls were so rude! I ordered 2 donnolis to go, they didn’t acknowledge that they heard me because they were having an in depth conversation about a wedding. But they must have heard me because they were bagging my order. I said thank you as the cash was exchanged and again nothing, still discussing the wedding,
Customer service was terrible! If it wasn’t so bad I would go back but unfortunley I will not return.

SO DELICIOUS! Definitely coming back for more but the location makes it a bit difficult :(

I finally got my hands on a cronut! Possibly a full year after the craze ended, but still, here I am. We drove all the way to this little local bakery in hopes of finding the donut I could no longer live without and well… they came pretty close.
We arrived around 2 pm and the hallway-​like bakery was almost out of stock. Although no lines, 3 very friendly women greeted us eager to take our order. There was a tray of assorted donuts that looked fresh, glazed, chocolatey and ready to enter my belly. I naively asked about the split open ones that had excessive filling and long and behold, they were mighty cronuts! In the fear of them being the best thing on earth, we got two of those and a cannoli stuffed donut for a pretty steep $ 9.
We took them home to devour after brunch settled and they were just as fresh. I must say that I don’t know if it was the hype that ruined a cronut for me or the disgusting twinkie like cream filling. Bleh. The clear winner was the cannoli donut, which had the most perfect thick cannoli filling and a french cruller style donut on the outside… aka heaven for a fat girl.
Overall the place is such a cute little spot, no frills, except for the price tag.

Got a birthday cake for my niece here and half a dozen ice cream donuts… Ran in there soaked with rain.
First thing I have to say is that I really enjoyed the genuine customer service by the beautiful staff here. They are very good people.
Second thing, the ice cream donuts tasted sexy. It was THAT good. My brother loved it also when I had him try it. I believe the ice cream is French vanilla (a big plus for me as I’m not a big fan of regular vanilla at all). I’m not a big fan of sweets and I’m glad the donuts (not sweet at all but that actually was a good thing) complimented the ice cream very well. The flavors of the donut mixed in with the powdered sugar and the ice cream was rather intense with deliciousness but very subtle with the sweetness at the same time. You get a little bit of sweet with some nice vanilla from the ice cream and viola! A nice dessert.
Thank you to the sweethearts here who took care of me on a rainy day. Check out this spot.

I’ve heard many great things about Frangelli’s Bakery. They have cronuts, ice donuts and donnolis. But I’ve been unable to try any after two attempts.
First attempt: Last summer, I went there during business hours. But instead of being open, there was a taped up piece of paper that had written on it that basically they had «Gone Fishin» and won’t be back for several weeks.
Second attempt: Again, went during business hours that were reported on Unilocal.Tried to confirm but they don’t have a website or answer their phone. Turns out they started new hours and are closed on Mondays. Really wished they picked up the phone on Sunday when they were open to let me know this.
Bottom line:
— No Website
— Don’t answer their phone
— No greeting on their voicemail.
— Close shop for weeks when they go on vacation
— Incorrect hours on Unilocal
I’m still holding off on giving them one star since I really hope to try their baked items. Maybe my third trip will work out.

After seeing an article on thrillist about the ‘donnoli’ (donut x cannoli), I decided to make a trip down to South Philadelphia this past Thursday.
Staff was friendly and nothing less than helpful when I told her it was my first time. She briefly introduced to me all the pastries they had to offer. I ended up purchasing two cronuts and two donnolis for $ 3 each.
I absolutely loved the cronut and will probably be back for more. I wasn’t a big fan of the donnoli but my friend was.

A box of six of the most delicious sticky buns you ever did taste (with nuts or raisins — your choice!) will set you back only $ 5.50. That’s less than a dollar per sweet, sticky, gooey bun!
The donuts and cakes also looked incredible but we were on a mission for buns only. I’d definitely make the trip to deep South Philly again for more sweet treats!
