Holy Cannoli

Really great place! So tastie! I recommend the traditional cannoli, by far the best one! The owner was so sweet and friendly. I will be back!

I didn’t really know what a cannoli was before I walked in, but I’m sure glad I did. The owner (I assume she was the owner) has an amazing personality and provides excellent service and the food was great, to boot. I’ll definitely come back here if I find myself in Seattle again.

Love this place!
Just moved to Seattle from Denver and was lucky to have this cute shop around the corner.
Had the 7 mile sandwich for lunch which was delicious as well as the cappuccino. Highly recommend this place.
5 stars service too! The owner is a wonderful person.

Cannolis are meh for me, so maybe that’s why but it didn’t blow my mind away. The girl at the counter was nice enough. Not a lot of space to chill in but if you want a quick fix and a place to people watch, not bad!

I recently had the pleasure of stopping by this shop and picking up a half dozen small cannoli and a large one. Being from an Italian family myself, and having eaten many cannoli in NY and Italy, I did not expect the quality to be so high with these, but they are quite amazing. I had ordered a variety of most the flavors offered and they were all spot on. Everything was fresh, and accurate to how a real cannoli should taste. Not overly sweet, and all hand made from good ingredients from what I can tell. I will go as far to say that even a few days later, the ones we had left over still were incredible which usually isn’t the case with others I have had. My family absolutely loved them as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have good cannoli, or anyone looking to try something new if you have never had these before. The woman who owns the business makes everything herself and is very passionate about what she does, I will be coming back soon for more.

Great Cannoli — you have less than a day to eat them before the crispy shell softens up!

This place is legit! I stopped by to get half a dozen cannoli’s to share after lunch and the area and they are the best cannoli’s I’ve had.
The place is decently small, but perfect for the items they sell. Coffee, cannoli’s, and sandwiches.
I got 2 traditional cannolis, 1 almond, 1 chocolate peanut butter, 1 coconut, and 1 other — they were all very very good. The shell was crisp and tasty, the filling was perfect, not too overly sweet, and the flavors all perfect!
It was a little odd to see an older dog walking around with a leash dragging behind him, but I’m assuming it was the worker’s (maybe owners) dog.
The sizes were kind of small for the price, but the overall quality and taste makes up for it. 6 canolis for $ 15. Two bites in one canoli.
Will definitely be back — good location too! Seating is minimal if you plan on staying and enjoying your snack.

Best Cannolis in the PNW!
The owner clearly loves what she does and it shows. There is a wide variety of flavors to choose from and they do smaller and larger cannolis so you have a choice. I recommend the espresso if they are on hand though frankly they are all great. The shells are crisp but fresh and she fills them in small batches to keep them this way.
Give them a try when you are in Seattle. You can’t get better in the area in my opinion. And I am always looking. :)

Good place for the novelty of having a quick and different kind of cannoli! They had different flavors of cannolis which I’ve never seen before like coconut, nutella, tiramisu and other delightful dessert flavors. I usually stick with the standard but I wanted to walk on the wild side and try coconut. We took ours to go and oddly enough, paired up the cannoli with a beer and it was tasty! I couldn’t see myself coming back too much since it’s $ 3 for 3 inches of loving but if you’re a cannoli lover like me, stop in and support a local business. Just be sure to get in before someone gets in front of you. There’s one girl there so if you get a party in front of you, it could take a while to get your items.

Yummy variety of cannolis! I got the nutella and almond cannoli and they were both good. There is only one person working there so our wait was a bit extended since another group went in right before us. I understand the pricing for the cannoli but its a bit on the high side. Then again, I understand for the neighborhood this shop is in. This was an ok experience but I would probably be back for more on my next visit.

I was walking by yesterday morning and was stopped in my tracks when I saw a place dedicated to cannoli in Seattle… I vowed that I must come back when they were open. I stopped by later that day and ordered a traditional cannoli and was honestly underwhelmed. $ 3 for a tiny little cannoli that didn’t taste all that great was such a let down. I’ll stick to my traditional cannolis at Niccoli’s in Phoenix and at various places in the North End in Boston… they know how to do it right!

This review is not for the cannolis.
I got the regular italian sandwich and it was absolutely disgusting. It has mayo AND italian dressing! And everything on it is just gross. I was starving and could still barely eat it. The worker (she was trying but kinda spacey.) heated it up for me which took quite a while. I also got a caprese salad but after losing my appetite from the sandwich and the brown basil leaves in the salad I unfortunately didn’t even touch it.
I’d try their cannolis but will never, ever again get their food. There are way better places nearby.

The lady behind the counter was very nice, but I didn’t think these were super special. It is a little pricey (I think $ 3 for a small one that can be devoured in a few bites?), so we went for the deal and got 6. It was towards the end of the day so we had more limited options, so come early. After a while they all started to taste the same, but I preferred the almond toffee crunch and the tiramisu. They make the filling in house every day but someone else supplies the shell. A nice place to relax during the hot day and super close to the Space Needle.

Back from a recent trip to Boston where they are known for their cannoli and while out with some friends wanted to introduce themselves to this treat. Saw the reviews on Unilocal so we decided to give this place a try. Went on Sunday, July 5^th around 2pm and the place was pretty dead. Sadly they had limited selection of the bite sized version, but they had the larger ones in any flavor available.
Sadly, they make their filling with cream instead of the traditional ricotta. The filling was still good, but lacked the flavor I had been hoping for. We really liked the PB&C ones as they were really flavorful and the lemon ones also had a nice lightness. Less impressed with the traditional or the butter pecan. The fell a bit flat in the flavor department.
Service was great and the shells tasted great. Would recommend this place but go knowing it’s different than what you might be expecting.

As an Italian from NYC living in Seattle I take my cannoli’s very seriously and I’ve been hesitant to try this place for fear that just like NY Pizza any Seattle version would be a major disappointment. But I was pleasantly wrong! I ordered a Nutella, traditional and salted caramel and enjoyed them from best to worst in that order. They came to go in a cute little gift box and the crust was not over cooked but perfectly flakey and the insides rich and sweet. The only one I didn’t enjoy was the salted caramel because it actually tasted more like peanut butter but I will go back now any time I want a treat! So delicious without being too much!

These are pricey cannolis-​$ 3 for a small cannoli (2 bites).
I’m not a cannoli fan but this is better than others I have tried. The cannoli shell is just hard enough to hold the shape without being hard as a rock so you can bite into it without the entire time crumbling. The filling is not too sweet. I tried the traditional cannoli and wish the riccotta flavor came thru a little more.
Since this is one of the better cannoli I have tried in giving it 4 stars

I was never sure just what a ‘cannoli’ was. Up to my visit here, my only experience with ‘cannoli’ was that scene in «The Godfather» where the duplicitous Paulie was whacked, and crime boss Clemenza telling the hit man, «Leave the gun; take the cannoli».
Well, I stopped into Holy Cannoli to take the cannoli, but I didn’t leave the gun.
THE ROSES: HC is a tidy little café/​mini-​deli at the north end of Seattle’s Belltown. It features a nice, if limited selection of sweet and savory items. Sandwiches and such, and many different varieties of cannoli, which are well-​executed. Service is pleasant and prompt. The shop itself is very clean, and offers a relaxing atmosphere. Empty cannoli shells are on offer if you want to take some home and put in your own fillings.
THE THORNS: As I said before, HC suffers from a rather limited selection. DiLaurentis and Borracchini’s are not going to be lying awake at night worrying about the competition. Also I think the cannoli is a bit spendy. At $ 3 or each, it makes for a rather expensive snack.
THE VERDICT: Not bad for what it is, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go there.

I have traditionally not been a huge cannoli fan but these were delicious.
The cannoli were quite small (half a dozen would feed 2 people max) and I loved all the flavours except for lemon.
My main complaint is the inconsistency in the texture of the shells… one or two of the cannoli shell in my half dozen had a «soggy» texture, while the others had a distinct crunch (the crunchy ones were a million times better).
Parking in this part of Belltown was fairly easy (I found one just across the street) although it is all metered.
If you’re a cannoli fan, I definitely recommend trying Holy Cannoli!

Holy Cannoli! I said out loud. Adam thought I saw something else. I walked in the store followed by Adam and he’s still clueless:)
I started taking pictures and making choices and he’s finally looking around saying where are we? Yes so he can check in too. Finally the realization we actually walked into a business called Holy Cannoli. Geez.
Twelve different flavored cannolis. Coconut, Banana Cream Pie, Buttered Pecan, Espresso Chocolate, Nutella, Limoncello, Almond Pralines, Salted Caramel Pecan, Tiramisu, PB & C (peanut butter and chocolate cream with chocolate) and the Traditional.
I personally went for the Salted Caramel Pecan. It was every bit as I imagined it would be. Packed with flavor of its namesake. Perfectly crunchy and overall a perfect bite of an Italian iconic dessert.
This cozy cannoli spot is manned by a friendly owner who obviously loves her creations. There’s a few high chairs to park your happy self and a bench outside. On a very warm and sunny Seattle week the bench was the best choice.
$ 3 small. $ 6 large. $ 16 ½ dozen small. $ 31.50 ½ dozen large. $ 28/​dozen/​small. $ 60.50/dozen/large.
H.C is a short walk from the «Needle.» An awesome stop before or after your visit. I say this is now a must on my list when I visit Seattle. In fact I’m going to try and squeeze another visit today!

Maybe cannoli just isn’t my «thing» but I wasn’t impressed by the cannoli here. After paying nearly $ 20 for dessert for two people, I expected to have my socks blown off. But they remained on my feet after I ate the treats. First of all, despite getting all different flavors, most of the flavors were indistinguishable from one another. My friend and I had trouble figuring out which flavors were which, except for a couple of really off-​the-​wall, obvious flavors.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, the cannoli are TINY. The 6 we ordered were barely enough for the two of us, and like I said it was nearly $ 20 with tax. For that same price, we could have gone to other nearby bakeries and really pigged out on some decadent goodies.
