A Self-Crowned Cannoli King On Mulberry Street
Cannoli get piped to order at a Mulberry Street counter that wears its self-appointed Cannoli King title with a wink.
🍰 The cannoli counter
The awning on Mulberry Street reads Caffè Palermo, but the gold letters that stop foot traffic spell out Cannoli King. Inside, glass cases hold ricotta-filled shells, sfogliatelle, and chocolate-dipped cookies, and the counter pipes cannoli to order rather than letting them sit. Espresso comes strong and quick, and a few sidewalk tables let you watch Little Italy drift past between bites. The room stays busy through the evening, with families and tourists trading spots at the counter. Grab a mixed box on the way out, and the crew ties it with string like a proper pasticceria.
