The Termini Brothers Cannoli Empire

Termini Brothers Bakery has been making cannoli on South 8th Street since 1921 — over a century of crispy shells and sweet ricotta filling. The family business still uses the original Sicilian recipes, and locals will wait 30 minutes in line for a box of mini cannoli on a Saturday afternoon. They also sell their famous rum cake, sfogliatella, and lobster tails. The bakery is a short walk from the 9th Street Italian Market and one of the neighborhood's best-loved institutions.
