Reviews of Termini Bros Bakery (Bakery)

Voy Senh

You will always get great service and the pastries are delicious.

Travis Grieder

Their treats are incredible. Their prices are outrageously expensive. for special occasions and for getting people gifts I come here when I want the best. Any other day I will go to another local Italian bakery to save some money.

Claudia Marx

Wow! Great selection of pastries! Wonderful, friendly ladies working here! Will return when back in the area.

Rich

Wonderful baked goods Friendly counter people. Best cheese cake anywhere.

Joe Falzone

Let me say, On St.Joseph's day I went to get my fix of Termini zeppoli and a counter girl who when asked for Zeppoli said "next year" and when asked again repeated herself and said "next year" and thats all she said.....in all my 60 years of buying pastry there I have never had this experience. So I went to Varrallo's.

THE BEST

Highly recommend the cannoli for dessert after you finish up your secret menu $5 fried chicken sandwich from Fountain Porter

Alison P

They make really great pastries and desserts. I'm particularly fond of the sfogliatella.

Jessica Forte

Delicious pastries and great staff. A bit confusing to navigate but the people will happily help you, just ask! I ordered macaroons and cannoli and they were great!

James Douthwaite

Cannoli was great! Service a bit slow but worth the wait. Wished I could have tried some of the other awesome looking pastries too.

Glaucia Preston

The best lemon mini cake ever!!

Paul Li

Canoullis are the best! Have been visiting this store since I was a young boy.

Devin Jaroszewski

Paul Menta

Cotton Candy

This place is real South Philly AMAZING!!!

Roshona Thomas

Me and my boyfriend took a ride out of our ways to try the chocolate chip cookies. Let's just say we will not do another cheat day at this place. Cookies were not fresh. Actually were kinda hard and over priced. Was not worth the time, sugar, or money.

Krystal Valenza

Smells like heaven

Lori Miller

On a recent trip to Philly we we picked up some cannoli's. Our dad said these cannolis were the best he ever had!

Greg Bem

Classic spot with classic decor and architecture. Very good customer service at this truly Philadelphia Gem. Get the cannoli for the ultimate experience.

dapocampo

We come here everytime we visit. Our home is in Houston, Texas.

Aaron Kanter

The ricotta cannoli are amazing! Also highly recommend the tiramisu.

Andrew Hurley

Nice Bakery.

Lorraine Potts

Delicious Italian baked goods!

Wayne Morra

Wonderful pastry and superior cannolis.

Marie B

Knowledgeable staff, free parking on street and in parking lot. Pastries are good but were overpriced in comparison to others. Square cheesecake is $18; I usually get similar for $12. Cake by the slice $5 a bit pricey too.

J Hill

Pretty decent bakery. I wish their carrot cake was more moist.

Rick S.

A South Phila institution and a must try for anyone who has never had their baked goods before. Of course they are known for their cannolis but everything is absolutely delicious! I can’t get enough of their biscotti, sfogliatelle, tea biscuits, cakes etcetera!

Megan Lui

Classic bakery that makes cakes, cookies and pastries. It is more expensive than other places, but definitely worth it! We often pick up a cheesecake here for a potluck if we don't have time to prepare something ourselves and there are rarely any leftovers to take home. My husband also usually picks up some of their almond cookies as a treat for us at home. They don't last long in our house! Also, if you're friendly and interested (and probably when they aren't too busy), you can get a tour of the bakery! My parents came in and while my dad reminisced about his mom's bakery from his childhood, we ended up being invited for a tour. My dad still tells the story about this tour and how much the bakery reminded him of growing up around his moms own bakery.

Mary Righter

Great Variety of Italian Cookies and Cakes!!!

kevin lee

I stopped in to move a portable refrigerator and was amazed at the tradition and pride in the shop. I expressed my amazement in the atmosphere of the antique store and was given a tour of the full establishment. Wow... Friendly, Professional, Traditional Values, I will be back.

Ei LL

BEST BAKERY EVER! Bought all 3 flavors of cannolis, biscotti, triple chocolate little granache cakes, almond covered chocolate goodies, etc.

Saumya Srivastava

It is good. I have tried several cakes/pastries here and liked most of them.

Priscilla Martin

I have always gone to the bakery at RTM! Always gotten fresher then the flagship store! NOT TODAY! I bought a previously frozen marble cake for 20.00 and it was awful!!!! Previously frozen really!!!???? The worst after taste ever!!!!!! So disappointed in Terminis!!

Stacey Tomko

Yummy, I love this place. Old world style interior and fresh cakes.

Patricia Sicinski

Thank you very much for the great suggestions. When my work schedule switched I had to change my plans last minute for my father's 65th birthday, the staff was quick to help. The cake was lovely and even more delicious then you can imagine.

Lynnie Jenkins

Nice place but expected more of a variety in cheesecakes. There was only plain and chocolate marble swirl. I was longing for a strawberry cheesecake. Cute place, just needs more a variety. Staff was wonderful.

Michael Mercurio

Fantastc bakery selection and friendly staff!

Sabrina Marx

Amazing, delicious desserts!! Very friendly staff!

Millennials IRL

Came early (before 10AM) and parked in the loading zone, super easy. Surprisingly not busy in the morning, service was great. The person who assisted in my order was knowledgeable and friendly. This place is like it's own mini museum, a completely different experience than the reading terminal outlet. Of course, pastries are delicious, traditional style.

It's a shame they don't have military discounts on Veterans Day. Happy Veterans Day.....

George Freeman

Historic!

Patsy and Kyle

My now husband and I worked with Nikki from Termini's and could not of had a better time. She was so professional and knowledgeable. We were very confidant in making our decisions with Termini's. Our guests are still telling us about how delicious our cake was! We had four tiers, including raspberry cake with raspberry filling, Lemon cake with raspberry filling, and chocolate chip with chocolate ganache.... Let me tell you it was beyond good. The cake was so fresh, moist, and soft. We even plan to get a mini cake from Termini's every year for our anniversary after our top cake runs out on our first anniversary. Thank you for making our day so wonderful with your cake! With love, Kyle and Patsy 9/20/19

Mary Pierucci

I love this bakery! I shop every time I'm on 4th Street for fabrics, which is frequently

Armando Christian

I never had a bad experience here. Everything is delicious.

Johnny Morris

Everything that you get here..is the best you can get...not a better bakery..anywhere..!

JPDMEEK

Excellent

Julie Lam

Very clean and courteous. Small bakery but can make anything. Cannoli and strawberry shortcake are the best. Fresh berries and frosting is not too sweet but creamy and light. 10inch costs $50. They have their own parking lot so no worries about finding parking. Daily baked goods are out for your cravings like biscotti, cupcakes, minis, etc.

BR izm

Best cannoli in south philly. Also 3 locations to choose from packer Ave, 8th st or the reading terminal. Also have really good rum cake.

Henry Kelly

Great service. Pineapple cake was awesome. I highly recommend them they are best bakers in town.

Josephine Galati

Slice of rum cake had no taste and very dry so banana cream pie dry thick very disappointed

Jessica Earl

Best cannoli in philly! I wished for pitzelles too, but the live music made up for the lack. Great staff!

Christian Herminghaus

The best bakery in Philadelphia been open for 96 years

thomas curtis

Amazing service and pastries!

Rachel Iverson

Very fast service. I ordered a chocolate mousse. The cake crumb was dry, but the mousse was excellent. $7 for one.

Christopher Bruner

Amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff. I wouldn't miss out on it. Try everything.

Claude Man

Ridiculously expensive but worth every cent! Only buy from this location, not the Reading Terminal store. Everything here is fresher!

Ananya Gupta

If there was every a place I could rate greater than five stars for the raspberry swirl cake (no icing), this would be it. The cake is medium soft on the inside, a good bite to the crust on the outside it is BURSTING with flavors in every bite. The best part, this is probably the most reasonably priced item on their menu. $15 gets you a cake that will serve 6-8 'hapsees'.

Andrew T

Amazing Italian pastries. Always worth a stop when traveling through Philly.

Michelle Brasdis

Best Cannoli in Philadelphia

Thomas Read

Very Nice.

Sonny Smith

Best macaroons on planet earth

Phil Motta

K Stanley

DELICIOUS PERIOD!!!

Richhairphilly Forbes

This is my absolute favorite place for any desert needs I ever have. Everything I have had from here is perfection

Elliott Russell

The sales people are super sweet and helpful. Everything there looked wonderful and the whole place is very tidy. The chocolate covered banana was so heavenly and hands down the best consumption method for bananas I have yet encountered.

Theresa Tirotto

Had a birthday cake...pound cake..taste like it was frozen .. It cost 30.00 for a small one....acme would have been better...this happened before ..never see me again

kiwinzi crawford

I been going to Termini Bros Bakery on Packer a couple years now and I love their cupcakes. Well recently i brought some cupcakes and they was horrible. Dry, Dry, Dry they taste a week old.

Anthony Cardella

The cannolis i will never forget, my father brought me there so i can experience his child hood, and im gonna do it when i have a kid.

Alesha Poindexter

Christmas Eve Cannolis ....and the manager Dominique is the best!

Trent Barnes

Was told by a native that this place had the best cannolis in the world. Not sure about the world but they are the best I have ever had. The staff was so friendly. I will be stopping in to get a dozen to take home any time I am within 60 miles. Worth going out of the way to get to

Beth E. Finn

Love this location! Everything is laid out and one of the employees walks around with you to collect the delicacies your choose before packaging them up in their classic blue and white boxes!

Derek J Masino

Good treats, but seems to rely on the name to inflate prices.

Andrew Sheehan

Great bakery, beautiful employees. They take pride in what they do.

Jen Tondera

Thank you so much to the cake decorator for bringing our superhero vision to life! The cake was delicious and gorgeous...until we smooshed the top en route to our party. It was still awesome, even though the final product wasn’t what we planned (just imagine the two photos below, if they were decorated at the same time). Thank you again! Btw - the 14” cake can easily serve over 60 people. We had 40, and have more than half left. Don’t shy away because of the number of servings.

Maria Gimbor

Nice place, great parking.

Bea Squared

For those of you who visited this bakery as a child as I did with my mother, rest assured, it is exactly the same now as it was then. Impeccably clean, friendly, consistently delicious. It's the same rum cake and cookies I ate as a child. The torrone are amazing, and the cupcakes are still colorful and moist. I never regret money spent here. It can transport me back to my childhood with one bite. Simply, amazingly, wonderfully delightful.

Monika Darmawan

Got my parents anniversary cake from them yesterday. Excellent cake,excellent service.

The Makeup Bar OKC

Such a classic place!

Fig Figueroa

Nice service with a smile and the tour was a nice touch for the first timer, boy am I a greedy person! Love sweets enjoyed the carrot cake!!

Rufus Tolbert

Very, very nice people. Delicious everything!

Mary Rapuano

Everyone loves their pastries and cakes.

Mary Moss

I had a wonderful experience with Termini Bros ordering a gift for Valentine's Day. I visited the Bakery a month ago when I visited Philly and I knew I had to send my Italian grandmother a box of assorted cookies. When I ordered online I accidentally entered the wrong shipping address. I called the company to make the correction and was quickly helped! Not only did the gift arrive at the correct address, it made it in time for Valentine's and in nice wrapping with a red ribbon. My grandmother was delighted! I am very impressed with the quality and service that Termini Bros' offers.

Connie Gatsch Richardson

Amazing! A must go to and taste!

Douglas Smithman

Still a great bakery but it lost something when the current generation took over. They branched out, put away the sample trays and put much more focus on profiting from the name at the expense of being the charming bakery that established that name.

Angel Díaz-Dávalos

I think they have the best canolis in town!!! Especially the ricotta cheese ones! Also the "turron" is really good and it's not even that expensive for the quality they serve.

rose Colella

I Love this place came all the way from Cape May and just had to stop the women there were AWESOME

Carlos Estela

We always liked this place with the wonderful delicious pastries sold out of an authentic Italian beautiful bakery. Folks here are always so nice and yesterday when we stopped in to pick up a few items to take a family gathering, the young man who took care of us (wish I wrote his name down) was totally awesome. If you are visiting Philly, this would be one of the must go to places. Their location in the Reading Terminal Market is very nice as well, but experiencing the traditional bakery setting is a very enjoyable. They also have a free parking lot immediately past the store when coming down 8th street .

Francis Walters

NEVER a bad experience!!!

Ragni Lee

Love it here, I went in a tour if the bakery and the history of it.

Mary Rasa

Awesome.

Chris Calciano

One of the best bakery in City of Philadelphia.

Theodore Harkness

Don't expect a traditional bakery when you come here. This is an ITALIAN bakery. Baking up delicious old Italian treats since...well I don't even know. There's a lot of things that you'll see here that you won't see in a traditional bakery, and they do them very well. They don't over fill the treats with sugars and it's pretty neat how they handle customers. That being said, the people working there actually come out from behind the counters to assist you instead of staying behind them. It adds more to the customer service aspect and is pretty neat. Just DONT touch any thing yourself. And if you want to try something before buying? Just ask! They'll be happy to give you a taste. They do want you to come back after all, and if you buy something you don't like, that's not a reason to return (so try it before you buy it!) If you want one of the best items here, go for the cannoli. I wasn't impressed with their chocolate chip cookies, but some of their anise cookies and cakes specialized for Easter were fantastic.

Dina Reyes

This place is amazing i order my baby shower cake it came out so beautiful and i got two other cakes. All 3 cakes was amazing tasted great thank you guys so much i was so happy with everything.

nick church

Friendly service, great atmosphere, tasty food, and interesting history.

Jeffrey Berlant

The bakery is 5star but buyer beware. The canoli's are $4 each unless you want to travel with them and they charge you $70 for $48 worth of canoli's. We asked how mach they were, and was told $4 each. Bought a dozen to travel and they charged us $70. When I asked why I was told that it takes more labor to squirt the filling into plastic bags than to fill a cannoli. Ok you got me. But never again after 40 years coming here. That's just a rip off.

JD Calderone

Overpriced and awful Canolis. Go to Isgro's.

Diane M

Excellent selection of Italian pastry. The people who work there are very helpful. Everything is fresh.

David Capelli

Great place for your sweet tooth

Ron Paoloca

Overpriced!

Mikhail Prosmushkin

Famous italian-american bakery

Jim Sweeney

Really friendly and the cannoli are delicious. Rich filling, crunchy shell. I'll be back to try more

Chaya Leah

Big fan of the cheesecake & classic cookies :)

Donnamarie Reese

Classic Italian traditional bakery. The cakes cookies and pastries are a traditional Italian holiday must or any day with coffee that's all you need. They will ship anywhere a must!!!

Nicole Jackson

Staff are always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. One of my fav places in SoPhilly!

Kelly McShay

My husband and I used Termini Bros for our wedding cake on 10/13/17 and could not be happier! The consultation was such a pleasure (and cake tasting was amazing!) and they executed our vision perfectly. We would highly recommend Termini Bros to anyone looking for a stunning and delicious wedding/special event cake!

christine wats

One of the BEST Italian bakeries.....if you like tea biscuits, you'll love theirs!!❤. Absolutely worth the trip.

Kim B

In all fairness, this review is based on a single purchase. We got a chocolate cupcake as a special treat for our kids. They liked it (how can young kids resist anything with that much sugar??), but I thought it was kind of dry, and the flavor was just OK. One bite was plenty for me! On a positive note, service was very quick, and the displays do look nice.

Charlene Smith

I tasted.much better

Bunny Freeman

Wonderful, family owned,neighborhood bakery

Fame Jones

I bought my friend a cake from here and it was 100% perfect. Ordering was easy (I believe they made me 50% deposit down. Now that I think about it I need to double check, because I paid full price in the store) Anyway, The cake was fluffy, warm, creamy and weighted (which is a good thing). It is a little more than twice the price of a normal birthday cake at most bakeries. It is also almost trice the size though. Vanilla Cake Layer- Half Sheet - $100 Usually it's $35 - $50 max. I wouldn't say the $100 was fully worth it as the cake didn't blow my mind, but it was perfect. The staff was very friendly, the inside was very clean from my perspective, and it smells like..... idk the most beautiful or delicious thing you can think of. I'm ordering another cake from here, since the bakery I use to go to (Denise's) burned down. To Make a Long Story Short: I RECOMMEND THEM

Vinny P

This is the place to go to get the goods! And the chocolate covered banana is a game changer. Never had a bad pastry from this joint so anytime we are within a 30 mile radius, its a stop that is worth the trip. #kulinarymafia approved..

Daniel Pape

Awesome experience, very friendly service, exceptional pantries!!

Emily Matsuno

Came here for the first time and got the tiramisu pastry. Right near the entrance, was a guitar and mandolin duo playing Italian folk music and they made my first visit at this bakery so much more memorable. Would love to come back here again when I visit Philly!

Richard Wagner

One of the Best!!

Stephen Taylor

Best cannoli! Great selection of other great baked goods.

Donna Richards

Very Helpful Staff, Old Time feel with a large selection to choose from. Every thing we've tried has been Delicious!!!

Richard Legendre

Great bakery in South Philadelphia. I happened to be driving by and saw a spot in front, so I stopped. I didn't realize it was famous at the time. When you walk into this small bakery, there are glass cases along both sides and a huge table in the middle with freshly baked goodies covering everything. When I walked in with my two friends, they asked if we had been there before. We said no and they offered us a tour. We fully expected them to just explain the desserts, but they gave us hats and took us in the back door a tour of the kitchen. This was quite awesome to see how everything is made, even gave us a sample! Once back out in the store front they explained everything to us. One of the cashier's walked around with a big tasty and grabbed everything we wanted. They also had boxes they could fill with cannolis or Italian cookies for a set price. It is simply a great Italian bakery, super friendly staff, everything made on the premises, highly recommend!

Abraham Ortiz

It's the best place for Italian baked goods. Worth messing up your diet

Tim Viva

Our wedding cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious.

Rajeev Thomas

Parking is tough in this neighborhood. A little known secret is that there is a dedicated parking lot for their bakery a bit further down the road which a lot of people miss! I have witnessed a lot of people driving past this lot trying to find parking to come to the bakery! Nicest staff ever! They will come out from behind the counters and help you select the stuff and will explain anything you want to know about their baked goods! They were so nice! Made me feel all special! :) Cookies were great, a bit on the very sweet side! But very flavorful! I am not a cannoli fan. But I tried a classic version anyways. The ricotta filling was a bit grainy, I would have preferred a smoother filling. That's just me though! Staff wins my vote!

Yuan Law

Their Cannoli is a must try. It has crunchy crust and creamy cheese-taste filling. I love it!

dante diandinata

Best Italian bakery in Philly hands down. Greatest staff ever. So friendly, you feel like you are part of the Termini family.

Patrick Tanner

Best canoli in the world. Hands down! Keep it classic.

Marlyn Delacruz

Best Italian Bakery ever! The pastries are delicious! The service is also great. Best cream puffs ever!

Carlos A. Gallardo

They have bakery tours and the ambience feels like a classic Italian American bakery. Love the smell as you walk in. They make individual pastries and a variety of cakes and even wedding cakes. Everyone should come and try their Italian Cream cake. Very tasty!!!

Galia G

Great I pickup from here for my clients and they love it!

David Clayton

Hands down the best cannoli anywhere

Josh Kirschenbaum

Incredible authentic Italian bakery. You can’t do better than a place like Termini’s so automatic 5 stars

Brenda Reid

Love this bakery! Professional, friendly service. The baked goods are superb and we come from North Carolina!

David Rivera

There Great

Mario Ruta

It's the best Cannoli in the city the only other Cannoli that comes close is Marras Cannoli

frank turzo

Old world quality, very consistent, took the Cannoli's to NYC and blew away the NYC Cannoli's, soo good

matthew lawson

I love this place! I belive they may quite possibly have the best Tiramisu on the planet!

Heidi Faust

Incredible! Best in town!

Evelyn Zhang

I've had cannoli from all the Italian bakeries in south Philly and this is the best. They freshly fill the cannoli after you order so the shell doesn't get soggy. It's such a simple thing, I don't understand why other places don't do it right.

Jon Whitman

friendly staff and delicious pastries.

Brigid Dwyer

I went to the Termini Brothers coffee stand at the Pennsylvania Convention Center today. I asked for a cup of hot water because I already had my own teabag...they gave it to me but then said, that will be $2.00. $2.00? For a paper cup with water in it? "Yes, that is our inventory charge" the employee stated but when I asked for a receipt turns out she had charged me for an espresso. I would never have paid $2.00 for a cup of water! And the water turned out to be gross, with a coffee-tinged flavor and loose coffee grounds floating around in it.

Anna Rivera

The cheese cake is so good

George Celona

I Wanted to order an Italian Rum cake for my Wife's Birthday. The cake that was suggested was 50 dollars. I politely asked if a smaller size was available since I saw smaller sized cakes in the display. Termini's wouldn't make the cake My wife just underwent cancer surgery. Her favorite cake is Italian Rum. I thought that Termini's would want to make a sale. I was clearly mistaken In any case, one of the other local bakeries was more than happy to accommodate. Termini's clearly does not appreciate my business. Sarcasm -Thanks to Termini's for their compassion

Gjoko Ruzio

Friendly, capable and top quality. What more can you ask for??
