Termini Bros Bakery

I went there because of all the hype about the cannolis… Great selection. Very nice staff. Only giving 4 stars because the cannoli was good, but I’ve had better.

Had the pecan bar. Was so very good. Tasty and not too sweet. Was just perfect and and great with a cup of coffee. Great place to stop

Desserts look really good here. I don’t eat much desserts and I wasn’t planning on eating any while I was at the reading terminal, but goodness. Walking by this place without smelling and looking at these yummy pastries on display is hard to resist. Tried a tiramisu and it was great, two thumbs up!

OMG YUMMY. Every single week when I go to Redding Terminal Market for groceries, I end up here to get my weekly cheat meal. I just cant resist.
My favorites are the tiramisu and carrot cakes.
Never ever make the mistake of going on a Sunday though. The line is super long and it is SO crowded because I assume that’s when the tourists come in. Saturday morning or any weekday is better.

This review is mostly for the service I’ve gotten today. I was looking through the glass and wanted to ask one of the girls behind the counter what this particular bread loaf was, but she was too busy chatting away with her friends and completely ignored me. I moved into the other register and finally got the service I was waiting about 10 mins for. The sweet loaf I picked up was a bit hard and dry. Kind of disappointed with today’s visit.

I dare you to walk past their bakery case and resist wanting all of the things. A stop at Termini Bros Bakery is a must when visiting Reading Terminal Market. All of their baked goods look delicious but I’m only after one item: cannoli! A nice crunch to the shell and plenty of filling (and mini chocolate chips!). You will notice a couple of small pieces of candied citron in the filling which I could do without but doesn’t affect the overall taste too much.
I received great service from the staff. I just wish that I was able to buy the cannoli unfilled so that I could bring home cannoli for days without them getting soggy.

This review is only for the ricotta + chocolate chip cannoli:
It is wonderful. Fantastic! One of the best cannolis I’ve ever had, if not the best. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a beautiful light consistency, complimented by the chocolate chips. The shell is even good too.
Must try!

I just gotta say: the chocolate covered banana cookie thing filled with raspberry and cream.
Like. Who even thought of this?
And why is it not being talked about?!

Best canolli ever. And I don’t even like canollis. Just buy and eat it. And buy me one too!

The famous chocolate chip cannoli is everything I hoped for and more. Highly recommended!

Amazing desserts in reading terminal. I would take their dessert over any other place in reading terminal. But reading terminal itself is pretty busy i would recommand going to their other location if you wanna avoid the lines.

Unfortunately I can’t agree with the other reviews on the canoli, was it just a bad batch that I had? I went to Termini’s since all the reviews said this is the place to get canolis… as I said I was disappointed. It wasn’t nasty, just had a weird texture and was a bit too sweet for me. I bake at home so I am very critical of baked goods. If they are not freshly made, not made with fresh ingredients, or too dry I will pick up on those facts. I didn’t finish half of my canoli and my bf took two bites out of his.

I didn’t think I liked cannoli until I had one from termini bros. highly recommended. it’s so cute wish we had time to try more!

Absolutely delicious baked goods. If you’re ever looking for a good cheesecake, Termini Bros never fails.
I was originally in search for a pumpkin pie but alas, no luck. Termini had samples, but they did not have any available until tuesday.
However, I noticed this beautiful marbled cheesecake and I found out it was the pumpkin cheesecake. I purchased one for a friend as a gift. Everyone who had a slice of that cheesecake was satisfied. For $ 15, it’s a great value.

Stopped in to try a cannoli and it did not disappoint! Creamy ricotta filling that’s perfectly sweetened and not to sweet, like many other cannoli fillings. Found there to be a perfect amount of chocolate chips too. The outer shell was perfectly crisp even hours after they filled it to order. While we were there, we also got some type of nut bar which was also delish!
The counter is on the outskirts of the market, so it’s easy to find. The service was polite and speedy too. Cannot go wrong if you are a cannoli lover! They are pretty big, even though the $ 4 price tag seems steep. I promise it’s well worth it!

yummilicious! I would eat a cannoli everyday if I could. I have lived from west coast to east coast & east coast has their bakeries on point, especially termini bros. love everything from there.

When we go to Reading Terminal we have to get some cannoli’s from Termini. They are always amazing.

This was a great place to rekindle my love of Italian bakeries during a recent work-​related trip. Excellent cannoli… filled upon order, with a filling that contained the perfect blend of chocolate chips/​candied fruit. So often you find cannoli that is not flavorful… even the shell was a flavorful treat. I’m usually not a huge lobstertail fan… I find them almost always bland. The filling on theirs has an excellent flavor… again a good ratio of filling to candied fruit. Very good Italian style baba au rhum… generously sauced/​syruped with a flavorful, rummy syrup. Love it!

The cannoils here are outstanding. I will certainly be adding Termini’s cannoli to my must order list when I pass through Reading Terminal Market. The filling is extremely rich and luscious. The shell is cripsy yet soft; it creates a nice texture contrast to the cream, but it doesn’t fall apart when biting into it.

i can only review their cannoli’s and mini cakes.
their cannoli’s are not only affordable and HUGE, but they are rated the best in the city. Rightfully so. Their mini cakes ($ 5 each) are made fresh as well. I have tried their tiramisu one and it was not too sweet and/​or soggy as tiramisu tends to be.
Located in the Reading Terminal Market. i love this place!

OMG… come here for the cannoli. The freshest and best thing you will ever have (if you like cannolis). They hand squeeze/​fill them right to order, and they are so so good. Too good in my opinion, and I am upset as I will now sadly search for something similar in all my travels, and doubt I will find its equal. I must have hit this place at the right time, as there was no line, and very friendly service. I will be back if ever in Philly again. Do you ship to California?

What can be said that hasn’t already? I’ll start with the bad; insanely long lines almost all the time and surly workers. Both are inescapable due to its fame, so you have to take the good with the bad.
All their delicacies are solid. The cannolis are large, the cakes are moist and delicious. Even the chocolate covered strawberries are a hit. If I could suggest one thing thought it would probably be the tiramisu cake, which is a large and very tasty homage to the original desert. It’s a great bakery, it’s just a shame about the crowds.

Let me tell you what… those freaky looking chocolate bananas aside, I’d eat anything from this place.
I needed a cheesecake for a Super Bowl party and was down in Philly not too far from here. I stopped by and their pastries and such looked good. I was especially impressed they were filling all the cannnoli by hand from a giant squeeze bag hanging from a rod.
Anyway, the friendly lady behind the counter asked if I wanted a chocolate or regular cheesecake and I took the chocolate. She even wrote on it for me! It was also only $ 15, which was a bargain.
The cake was so creamy and delicious, I had two pieces once I got to the party. It was devoured promptly by the hungry football fans.
Next time I’m back in Philly, I’m going back here to get my sweet on.

I’m really torn on a 3 or 4 for this place, but I’ll err on the side of 4 since the cannolis are really nothing I’ve had in California. So there are a few locations for Termini Bros Bakery, but since Reading Terminal has so many things to visit/​eat, you might as well pick it up here. This one is located on the South side of Reading Terminal a little bit so if you walk the perimeter, you’ll bump into it. There’s a lovely neon red sign.
Now they have a bunch of cakes and pastries and of course the famous cannolis. There are no prices. So when I was ordering, I was taken aback when they told me how much I just spent for 3 cannolis and a Sfogliatelle (crispy layers with ricotta and citrus fruit interior). The cannolis were $ 4 each and the I believe the Sfogliatelle was about the same or even more.
The Sfogliatelle was interesting and different. It did have a lot of ricotta cheese so if you’re not into that, I would say skip. I won’t be getting it again.
The cannolis were filled fresh with cream hanging from the ceiling. The filling contained candied little gems. It was so rich and creamy and gosh you felt the fat in it. Oh so delicious fat. I guess it was worth the $ 4. Definitely something to try out as you’re in Philadelphia and you should get at least one.

While I’m not a huge fan of their layered cakes (very dry, with meh buttercream that falls off your fork as you try to eat it), I MUST say that their cannoli are OMG-​SO-​AMAZING! Think creamy-​smooth ricotta filling inside a perfect, crunchy shell. If you want to have great cannoli, Termini’s is your place — do not waste your time or calorie intake anywhere else.
This place is out of the way of my daily activities, but you can count on seeing me trek all the way there just to get cannoli when cravings do come up.
(Sorry, I haven’t managed to photograph any of the cannoli I got from here since they vanish long before I have time to think of doing anything other than eating them.)

It’s a must stop anytime in Reading Terminal Market for a quick snack, if not for a large order. Let me just preface this review that I’ve only come here for their cannoli’s.
Their cannoli’s are sick. The ricotta cheese with chocolate chip reigns king here as the go to order, though I’m a personal fan of the vanilla flavor. The custard to carb combination is just one of a kind and has a great mix of texture against the cannoli shell. The chocolate cannoli’s come in at a not so distant third to the other flavors.
A bit pricey for each, but worth the coin for a quick snack or dozen.

I came by on my most recent visit to RTM last weekend. I’d heard the cannoli was a must-​try here, so I picked one up. Specifically, I ordered one with ricotta filling with chocolate chips, since several other reviewers said this was the one to get.
I ate the cannoli while standing in line for Beiler’s to get a dozen donuts for my family. From the first bite, the cannoli made the wait not only tolerable, but worthwhile! The outer shell was crispier than any cannoli I’ve ever had before, and the filling was silky smooth and rich, with just the right amount of chocolate chips mixed in. Also, the cannoli was larger than I’d expected (about 6″ x 2.5″). This was, by far, the best cannoli I’ve ever eaten! I think the fact that they’re filled on order makes a huge difference, but it’s more than just that, since I’ve had other cannolis that were filled on site before that weren’t as good. The quality and freshness of ingredients sets these cannolis apart in deliciousness!
Service was a bit slower than I’d like, but this was no doubt due to the fact that only one woman was working the counter at the time that I stopped by (4pm on a Sat.). Sure, the cannoli was a bit pricy at $ 4, but unlike at least one other cannoli I’ve eaten at that price, it was well worth it. It’s definitely a must-​try item at RTM!

If you entered the Reading Terminal Market from the 12^th St. entrance, you will no doubt see this alluring dessert bakery if you go straight down the aisle. Don’t doubt it: the stuff that you see on the shelf tastes good as it looks!
Sadly my family was leaving Philadelphia so we decided to drop by Reading Terminal for one last Philly snack. My sister who is a huge dessert fan could not keep her eyes off the huge, delicious-​looking dessert selection Termini Bros displayed. It was her birthday soon so I decided to buy her a small cake but she wasn’t able to make a choice.
What can I say? The paradox of choice can be quite paralyzing.
Fortunately, the nice cashier girl gave my sisters suggestions and she settled with the chocolate cake with a slice of banana on top. The size was around 3 inches in diameter and was $ 5. Even though I said I was buying it for my sister, I ended up eating half of it.
It was a truly decent chocolate cake with satisfying sweetness that does not overwhelm. Each eat was complemented with a light touch of banana taste. Although I am usually not banana about banana, I thought it adds a nice, new dimension.
Termini Bros Bakery was a dessert eye-​candy that offers actual good taste behind good visual. Try out this solid dessert place if you are visiting the Reading Terminal Market.
