Worth it, says Antonina. Not only do they have the best cannolis in NYC but there are a tons of other italian delicacies like sfogliatelle (also known as lobster tails), zeppoles, and cookies.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Bushwick Brooklyn is lucky to have Circo’s (pronounced chirkos), I’m so lucky I live far away. While writing this post I’m starting to realize I lack self-control when it comes to these flakey, golden tubes of fried goodness. They make me weak in the knees and if I was close by, I’d be in there multiple times a day for the best cannoli in NYC!

Owned and operated by a family from Sicily tradition lives on at Circo’s. Not only do they have the best cannolis in NYC but there are a tons of other italian delicacies like sfogliatelle (also known as lobster tails), zeppoles, and cookies.

Circo’s Pastry Shop also makes the only “family sized” cannoli in NYC. And before you have to worry about sharing bites with your weird aunt Linda, all you do is crack the outer shell of the giant cannoli and you’ll find about 30 mini cannoli inside.
