Circo's Pastry Shop

This charming family-owned bakery has been delighting locals since 1945, using original recipes from Sicily that the owner, Nino Pierdipino, continues to uphold. As you step inside, the nostalgic neon sign—restored to its former glory in 2016 after a rocky past—welcomes you with a warm glow. Don't miss their famous Cannoli a la Siciliana; it's a heavenly treat that's simply a must-try! Circo’s is not just about the pastries; it's a slice of Italian heritage right in the heart of Brooklyn, perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in local culture and flavors.
