Pleasant and friendly owner and staff. I picked up St. Joesph's pastry. After tasting, I'm pretty sure that I'm team sfingi. Also, a few pignoli cookies are now $48 a pound; rainbow cookies; and a Napoleon. It was so good to be in the old neighborhood.

The best Cannolis in Brooklyn I go there all the time the girls are so sweet and nice definitely a 5 star

The pastry shop was amazing. Sold anything you could think of and the staff was friendly.

Any occasion, my family buys desserts from Palermo's. If we just want a random cannoli or if we're celebrating someone's birthday, we always go here. I personally recommend their cannolis and their rainbow cookies. The best. I've gotten a lot of different types of desserts from this bakery but by far these are my favorite. I think the flavor of their food is just top-tier among the other bakeries in the area. They're a little bit pricey but the quality and staff are really nice. It's a cute interior little shop and I would recommend going here.

Excellent cake whipped cream is amazing I believe it is whole milk cream not shortening. Wonderful go to Bakery for every occasion

Writing my 999th review to express more love for Palermo's. My original review addresses the food itself. I don't get over here as much as I used to as life has gotten busier, but luckily I have a friend in the neighborhood (thanks Olu) that gets me my fix. I've been buying cookies and pastries from Josephine, Debbie, Enzo and the others for literally my entire life. I remember sitting on the glass counter as a small child. And I still am an absolute pain in the ass every time I go, picking out each type when I buy assorted cookies, just like I did as a kid. As you get older, so much of your earlier life fades away to only memories. Palermo's at every major holiday is a constant for me. My Grandma had been buying everything here since they opened in the 70's, and this is one of the last major connections I have left to her. It doesn't hurt that Palermo's still makes the best overall cookies (ie: rainbow, assorted) I've had anywhere in NY either (including Villabate, Alliota's, Artuso's, Cuccio's etc). I will be coming here until I die or they close. After that, I may have to open a bakery myself. Long live Palermo's! PS: Apparently Yelp doesn't count updates as new reviews, so technically not my 999th. Oh well, I tried.

I should have written this review last summer when I visited NY, but better late than ever! I absolutely LOVE this place! I really wish there was one in AZ, where I live now, because the Cannoli's are to die for!! The staff is super friendly and encouraged me to taste different things- this led to a $72 cookie run; it was worth every penny! Also, the cakes are absolutely beautiful! Definitely get to Palermo if you are in the area!
