"New York City is world-renowned for its pastries and sweet treats, and there's no shortage of top-class bakeries across NYC working on innovative new concepts and interesting flavor combinations. But sometimes, you just want to go to a cozy, classic Italian bakery that evokes nostalgia and old-school charm. That's exactly when you should make your way to Circo's Pastry Shop, a traditional, family-owned storefront that's been serving the Brooklyn community for over 80 years."
"One of the most popular items on the Circo's Pastry Shop menu is the freshly filled cannoli, which is created by following the same recipe Sebastino Circo and his staff used when it first opened in 1945. The pastry shop was actually the first to bring the "giant" 5-pound cannoli to New York City in the '70s, which has since drawn praise from celebrities like Alec Baldwin, TLC's "Cake Boss" star Buddy Valastro, and even ex-U.S. President, Ronald Reagan."
Circo's Pastry Shop is a traditional, family-owned Italian bakery in Bushwick, Brooklyn, operating for over 80 years. Sebastino Circo founded the bakery in 1945. Nino Pierdipino and Michele Vinci joined in 1968, became lead pastry chefs, partnered to buy the business within five years, and their family continues to run it. The storefront retains a decades-old neon sign, simple pastry cases, original equipment, and unchanged recipes. The bakery's signature is freshly filled cannoli made from the original 1945 recipe, and it introduced the "giant" 5-pound cannoli to New York City in the 1970s. The menu also includes rainbow cookies, biscotti, Sicilian fig cookies, wedding cakes, and handmade ice cream.
