Corbo’s Bakery

Corbo’s is the better bakery in this neighborhood. I live nearby (walking distance), and stop by here often for a treat. The cannoli are filled fresh on the spot. Coconut bars are moist and well-​balanced with cake and chocolate syrup and coconut flakes. The cookies are fresh and fun to eat.
The Cassata Cake is of course legendary! Recently my cousin served it at his wedding, we like it that much.
The gelato is good too. Also, don’t pass by on the odds and ends boxes. These are the same cookies as in the display cases, they just didn’t turn out as pretty. Great value!

If you are in need of a delicious pastry, dude, Corbo’s has the cannolis. Freshly made on the daily. That and a cheap coffee, day is made. Be careful what time you go, parking can be a hassle.

Heard the cassata cake was outstanding so I bought two pieces for $ 10. Had one piece with my girlfriend at home for dessert. It was just a cake. Nothing outstanding or special. Especially not for the cost.

One of my favorite places to patronize when I’m home. I’ve yet to find a better cannoli. The chocolate dipped cannoli are amazing. Great cassata cake too although I still prefer Fragapane’s in Bay Village.

We went in on Sunday after dinner, and after two other customers left, we were the only two customers in the bakery. The two employees were right behind the counter and both blatantly ignored us. Apparently they wanted to clean up early so they could go home. After they continued to ignore us as we stood at the counter to order, we finally just left without saying anything.

The cassata cake is every bit as good as the hype. It is a perfectly moist yellow cake, with layers of delicious yellow custard and strawberries, and the whip cream frosting is so light and fluffy. This cake is decadent without being heavy. I just ate a piece, and unfortunately the rest of the cake is at home. I wish I had more cake…

While in cleveland recently, we stopped for ice cream at Corbo’s which was very good. However, they have a complete array of Italian pastry and desserts and they also sell pasta and jarred sauce. The staff was very friendly and most accommodating. I would recommend and return.

I was actually looking for the bakery that my dad would take me to when I was little that was in the same area, but settled on this one. Absolutely NOTHING to write home about. Got the Tiramisu (have had better from a grocery store) and a walnut pastry (looks like a flying saucer). When I got to the counter, bill came to $ 8, but the price really didn’t click until I left. I was wondering what the hell I just bought for $ 8 and called to see how much each item was. When the lady told me the Tiramisu was $ 5, I laughed — it could practically fit in the palm of my hand and the walnut pastry was nothing special, the ones sold at Publix in Atlanta are only $ 1.99 and taste far better!

Awesome cannolis. The best in Cleveland. I’m also a huge fan of the cassata cake. I could polish one of those off solo! So good! And considering how crazy busy they are during the Feast of the assumption, they were very quick and courteous.

Was not too impressed with Corbo’s. Try Presti’s instead! Presti’s has much better variety of pastries and foods, as well as gelato. One thing corbo’s does have is Italian ice though.

Never disappointed. I’ve loved their cannolis since I was a little girl. I absolutely love going here and we’ll always try to stop in when we can.

Who doesn’t love a cannoli? Especially when it’s made to order. Couldn’t help myself, bought a crème puff and some lemon biscotti for road. All quite delish.

Italian pastries and desserts hold a dear place in my heart. Which happens to be next to my dessert belly.
Growing up in an Italian family, special treats were constantly provided by my Nonna. Corbo’s brought me back to those memories.
Unilocal claimed they were closed after I finished my dinner Sunday night but the ‘Open’ light was still on close to 6pm. They were definitely rushing to close up for the night but were still friendly as ever! I felt rude so I rushed through my order and didn’t get a chance to really browse around but ordered a bag of assorted cookies and a cannoli (duh).
The cookies were delicate and fresh and just amazing. The cannoli was filled to order so the shell was fresh and crunchy– the only place I’ve seen this done at is WSM and until now those were #1 for me.
I’ll definitely have to go back for some cassata cake next time!

Corbo’s has the BEST cannoli in town, and it’s not even close by a long shot. Every time I go in there I can expect attentive service and an all around pleasant experience. In addition to the cannoli I’m a huge fan of their rainbow cookies and peanutters. I do have to try their cassata cake, as they advertise that as best in town as well.
One of the other added benefits of going to Corbo’s is I know they will get to my order efficiently whereas other bakeries you can plan on being there for a while.
A little on the cannoli: Regular and chocolate dipped, has hints of cinnamon and the perfect shell/​crust. The crust has some good crunch to it, others I’ve tried around town are a little too chewy. The filling is rich/​creamy, and of course the chocolate chips too.
Full on endorsement.

Stopping here is a must anytime I’m on the Eastside or even remotely close.
I stopped in originally to try their cannoli. These are great because not only do they come in different sizes, but they are filled to order. Delicious & fresh!
Now here is the reason I can’t stay away: I wanted something different so I randomly ordered a piece of the orange torte. Oh. My. Goodness. Is this real life? This is the BEST dessert I have ever had. It’s tart, incredibly moist & layered perfectly. They also have a raspberry torte that is equally amazing. I have purchased an entire torte for family parties & it’s always a hit. It’s also very reasonably priced. These are both available frozen if you don’t plan on being home for awhile (the single pieces & the entire torte).
Last but not least, their biscotti is perfect with your morning coffee. I love that they have the broken pieces discounted as well.
If I am not near the Eastside, I will make a stop at a Marc’s location since they have many of the items there & they are always just as good. The Brecksville Marc’s has a large Corbo’s section.

Great Bakery. Like the freshly made Cannoli, Sponge cake with strawberry & whipped cream, coconut covered cake. Coffee was good too — loved the cups. Behind the counter girls are excellent, one quiet and the other more cheerful. Like the cheerful.

Surprisingly delicious baked goods!
I went to the location in the Marc’s grocery store in Mayfield Heights, and was slightly put off by the dingey packaging atmosphere. I didn’t expect much from their baked goods and wouldnt have bought anything if my boyfriend hadn’t ko kept enthusiastically mentioning grabbing some sweets, but I’m really glad we decided to buy aome pastries!
The names of the pastries we bought escape me now, but the taste never will! I bought a pastry that was similar to a bear claw but was much, much more delicious. It managed to be very rich, very gooey, very nutty, and very flaky, and very airy all at the same time. Boyfriend got what im assuming was shortbread cookie rounds with fruit preserve in the middle. I wasn’t a fan of those since I usually dont like that type of cookie, but he definitely enjoyed them much more than other variations he had tried.
I will for sure be visiting this place again on my next trip to Cleveland.

Yum! Maybe I just picked right on this one? Maybe it is the best? But the tiramisu won my heart! I visited during the Feast of the Assumption and even though vendor food is sometimes subpar, the tiramisu was a little piece of heaven! I was with a few friends and it was hard for us to share. We also ordered some of the famous cassata cake, which was yummy, but as best as I can describe, it’s like a muted sweetness. This was my first time trying the cake. It wasn’t what I expected. The strawberries were big and juicy, the cake and cream light and fluffy. But that tiramisu. Oh that tiramisu! Mmmm. I forgot how much I love that stuff. Thank you for the reminder Corbo’s!

As I prepare to order my ka-​billionth Corbo’s cake, I figured it was about time to write a review. Corbo’s has been part of my life since the day I was born. Every celebration, there was a Corbo’s cake present. First communion, numerous birthdays, my wedding cake. Corbo’s has always been a special part of the important events. You can’t go wrong with the cassata, add rum if you can! Always friendly, always good, Corbo’s makes special days even better. :)

I was visiting Cleveland for the weekend, and my hosts took me to Little Italy for dinner. Being Sicilian, I was loving this. After dinner, one of my hosts wanted lemon ice and wandered into Corbo’s. I was ecstatic to discover that Corbo’s had Italian sesame cookies! Sesame cookies were a staple of my childhood… and something I haven’t had in at least 20 years. They are not made en masse like they used to be, and there is no Italian bakery in Raleigh (something that should really be rectified, but I digress), so I was so happy to see this. I had to buy half a dozen cookies. And they were just like I remembered them – dry and crumbly, with just a hint of extra flavor. (I always taste lemon, but I’m told it’s actually anise.) I was a happy camper.
Thank you, Corbo’s, for returning me briefly to my childhood. :) My Cleveland hosts are coming to Raleigh in a couple of weeks and have promised to bring me more sesame cookies from Corbo’s…I hope they do!
