Kelly Cannoli

Not exaggerating - my absolute favorite dessert in Seattle. Just picked up these six for my birthday 🎂the cream is so smooth and delicious, espresso chocolate chip is my fav!! Filling them to order is just the only way to do it! Cannot wait until they find a new Ballard location - miss having them nearby so much!!

Kelly Cannoli is one of the best places in lake city to enjoy wonderful drinks, service and food. The staff is unmatched and always so friendly and helpful. Every single time I've been to Kelly's I'm never disappointed. Thank you so much for your amazing service. 💖

I absolutely love Kelly Cannoli! I am a regular at this location! They have great food, drink AND dessert options at a reasonable price and the girls are always super sweet and efficient. A gem in the community for sure ❤️

As a former New Yorker, These cannoli have all the right flavors and textures in the right places. I love that we can get them customized in over six different variations. The plain cream cheese isn't smear but you'll get plenty of it. The bagel are the best I've had in Seattle. Finally! No complaints. We'll be back!

I'm too lazy to leave reviews so I onky leave them when i had the best experience or worst. My wife and I bought a dozen and half of dozen cannolis here to donate. The people we gave it to loved it so much so we came back the same day to get two dozen more for another donation We bought two cannolis for ourselves to try. I'm not a fan of sweet baked goods but... omg these cannolis were the BEST I've ever had!! Unlike typical sweet things here in U.S. Kelly's cannolis were NOT overly sweet, cream was light and delicious, and the outer layer was crispy but soft. They make these fresh!! It's a perfect crispiness that matches with the cream.

Can't say for the atmosphere as I always order at UberEATS. This is more an American style cannoli but it's the best in Washington that I've tried for sure. It's not the Italian one but it's delicious, not overly sweet and omg crunchy!!!I don't know the magic trick but the shell is always fresh and crunchy. The presentation is always beautiful, I was so surprised because I always drive close by and never thought how cannolis from that pink stand would be so good. Very nice to see such great local business prospering.❤️👏👏👏

Kelly Cannoli warms my New Jersey heart. ❤️ As an east coast transplant, I appreciate chewy bagels, flavorful cannolis, and a Jersey accent; Kelly Cannoli has all three. Bagels are overnighted from NY and toasted to perfection. Kelly Cannoli offers a platter of mini cannolis perfect for parties and get-togethers. She also rotates special items into the menu, such as lemon cannolis with crushed lemon sandwich cream cookies or candied lemon zest. Impress your friends and co-workers with an authentic Jersey sweet treat! PS If you found this review helpful, please heart it. Thank you!

Great fresh cannoli. I have not tried the bagels, but if the cannoli are any indication, I would bet they are good. Lots different coffee drinks, including Italian sodas and all kinds of syrups. Drive thru. They fill the cannolis while u wait

If there's one place I can't help but think about when I need a sweet treat it's kelly cannoli. Amazing quality and taste this place has the best cannoli you can have for any occasion!

It was a random siting when I decided to stop at Kelly Cannoli. Was in the neighborhood and decided to check them out. If you blink, you may miss them. I ordered their large sized cannoli. 2 Chocolate Chip 1 traditional 1 pistachio Very yummy. The filling was on the verge of too sweet for me personally. I killed a whole cannoli nonetheless lol. My better half thought it was just right. So it's a preference thing. They pipe them up well with the filling and are generous with the topping as well. I was not disappointed for stopping. The young woman who helped me was kind. You can drive up, but I walked over from next door and ordered to go. Give 'em a try for yourself!

I got a ice coffee it was mainly milk I didn't even take a second drink it's in the freezer I wouldn't go here this was such a disappointment

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this needed to be said. I had a very disappointing experience due to the rude behavior of one of the employees. From the moment i interacted with them, their attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic Customer service. They spoke in a condescending tone, were clearly uninterested in helping, and made the entire experience uncomfortable. I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but there's no excuse for treating customers with such disrespect. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses it appropriately, because no customer should be made to feel unwelcome.

Great cannolis but HOLY LORD so so so slow. There were only two cars in front of us and we waited 25 min. NOT including our order once we got to the front. The cars didn't seem to have big orders. This was at 8:30am on a weekend so maybe they needed more than one person working?? I also understand that things are made fresh, but there's gotta be a better way. Also their boxes don't close all the way. Hope my cannolis make it home.

I'd been on the hunt for a good cannoli spot in Seattle, so I was pretty excited when I heard about Kelly Cannoli. One day, while I was driving through the area, I decided to make a spontaneous visit. Kelly Cannoli, over in Lake City, is set up as an espresso stand. I pulled up to the stand, ordered a cannoli at the counter, and, despite limited parking options, the barista kindly suggested I park my car next to hers. This way, I could enjoy my cannoli at one of the few outdoor tables they had set up. The barista quickly made my cannoli and handed it to me at the counter. I went for the large traditional cannoli, which came filled with standard white cream. One side of the cannoli had chocolate chips, and the other had pistachios with a cherry on top. The price tag was $6, and I have to admit, I was hoping for a bigger cannoli at that price. But, size aside, the cannoli itself was delightful. The cream was nice and light, not overly sweet, and the shell had that perfect mix of crunch and airiness. Plus, the combo of chocolate chips and pistachios added some great flavor and texture. Since I wasn't too hungry, I stuck to just one cannoli. But I'm definitely intrigued to go back and try out some of their other cream flavors, like espresso or lemon zest.

This was such a fun experience. I didn't realize it would be a drive up but I think that's what made it even more charming. The cannolis were made on the spot after ordering and were absolutely everything I wanted and needed. I am so happy with this experience and can't wait to go back!

Cannolis are okay, but owner refused to accommodate for my colleagues' nut allergies stating it was "too much work" to omit nuts on their cannolis during the construction process. Are you kidding me?! I'm a chef and know her excuse was a crock of BS. Thankfully her competitor makes better cannolis and sans attitude.

I love their cannoli's here! If you haven't given them a try, please do so! They are so good and they go great with a hot beverage. The service is always so great here. They are quick and easy! They remind me a lot of starbucks but BETTER! MUST TRY the cannonlis though! Very addictive!

They're great - fantastic bagels, great cannolis, very reasonable prices! I hope they continue to do well!

I was on foot so I walked through the drive-through! I got a traditional cannoli (chocolate chips and pistachio which comes with a maraschino cherry) which they wrapped up for me so it wouldn't get smashed in transit. $6 isn't cheap but it includes tax and the cannoli was delicious! The cream was light and sweet but not overwhelming and the shell had the perfect bite to it. Worth trying if you love cannolis! They also have a wide variety of flavors as well as build-your-own cannolis, specialty coffees and sodas, NY bagels, and other breakfast food.

Cute little walk up/drive through spot. Service is super nice. Cannoli is absolutely amazing, I always end up getting the cookies and cream flavor.

Wow Cannolis! Drove past this location multiple times next to the Bigfoot car wash and finally found it today. I realized Kelly Cannoli is in a little pink coffee shack. I ordered a couple of cannolis which was made individually!! Cannoli shell, cream and the necessary topping. Kept it in my car and drove around doing errands but it stayed fresh. The cannolis were fantastic! The shells kept their crunch and the cream filling was cool and smooth. I plan to go again and again...lol!

Tried Kelly Cannoli for the first time a few weeks ago. We are from the east coast so we're so happy to find a place that sells NY style bagels and cannolis! The bagels were very good. Crispy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside. Pricey @ $4.00 each but nice for a weekend treat. The cannolis were amazing! We ordered 3 original stuffed with choc chip tips. The shells were crisp and tasty and the filling delish! Filled while you wait.. have been back 2 x since our first stop and will be back again!! Not cheap but great place to treat yourself. ( large cannoli $6.00)

10/10 customer service, cannoli, and coffee! Happened to be in the area and found this place on Google Maps to grab a quick coffee. It's a drive thru and found they offer a great selection of coffee, breakfast items, and cannolis. Asked the worker what she recommends and was not disappointed by the flavors! Will definitely be back!

Squisito....I love a great find and this is definitely one of them...holding the 5 star since its not exactly a dessert shop...but I know the food after few tries may warrant that 5th one. I stumbled into this food cart/roadside coffee stall. So ...as the namesake I tried their canoli. I am not the most enthusiastic canoli eater but this place is wanting me to go try it again....they have reallt large variety of flavors...definitely most I have seen im area We tried four mocha chip, double chocolate, pistachio and coffee toffee. I loved all 4 but coffee toffee and pistachio are my favorites of the four. Ambience wise it has none (intentionally)...make sure u really are looking out for the truck while driving. But that careful attention to discovering this place will yield you great Canoli

To be honest, Kelly Cannoli has got to be one of the best dessert gems in the city. With all the hype and growth around boba shops and aesthetic cafes, to which I'm certainly not complaining about, this small, highly underrated, and cozy establishment definitely deserves more love than it currently gets. It doesn't look like much, just a drive-through pink little shack. But wow, their cannolis are delicious. The cream is just so good, and the crust/cannoli itself is crunchy. What more can you ask for? Plus, they have so many different options and flavors, so there's always going to be one that would suit your fancy. On top of that, these cannolis are THICCC with three C's. Two major considerations to keep in mind: 1. The refrigerator life is short, only about a day. After 24 hours, refrigerated cannolis will become a bit soggier and lose that awesome and satisfying crunch. Not to say that it becomes bad; it's still really good! But it's like eating day-old Costco pizza: it's not the same. 2. It's more on the sweet side, which, given that I have a sweet tooth, I'm not complaining! My wife and some of our friends did comment that the cream was too sweet for their liking, but I count them as anomalies in my dictionary. I loved them, and I thought they were perfectly sweet. But it's still something to consider! What are you waiting for? Just make that trip and pick up some cannolis! You definitely won't regret your decision. Hoping that this humble establishment can flourish and expand to a real restaurant/shop one day! (Unless it's their intention to be a drive-through forever. In which case, long live Kelly's Cannolis)

I came here for the cannolis and made a second trip back in the same day to get me some bagels! I'm so glad I did because these bagels are so good. I got the lemon cannoli and a pistachio cannoli. The lemon was incredible. If you're a lemon lover this is a perfect choice. I ended up getting the large size for cannolis but they also have mini sizes as an option. It's definitely easy to miss if you're not on the look out and an unassuming little drive thru cannoli stand. They have several caffeinated drinks to choose from, including soda spritzers and espresso drinks.

Best cannoli I've ever had! Im not an expert and I don't truly know what makes cannoli good but I have tried hem before and never really liked them. They are usually too sweet or the filling is gritty. However, these are perfect! First off, the location isn't the greatest. It's a good bit little booth. So obviously there is not really a lot of room to sit and enjoy. So we took them home to enjoy. The girls there were super nice and they filled the shells right in front of us. We tried the toffee, classic and cookies and cream. They were all delicious and satisfying. Large ones are $5 and mini is $3. Also they apparently ship the shells from New York which I found interesting.

The cannolis did not disappoint, the service was quick and easy. Unfortunately when we arrived it was later in the day and the selections of cannolis left was slim. When asked if we could order regular cannolis the guy at the drive thru window stated they were sold out. I recommend you come make sure you come first thing in the morning, we had to buy the biggest cannolis to be able to try the flavors we wanted.

Not impressed by the cannoli, was dry and had an odd texture. Nothing like true cannoli I've had in Italy and NYC

This was an unassuming little store along Lake City Way serving really amazing cannoli; blink and you would've missed it on this busy road. We ordered from a drive-thru window, two 5-inch cannolis for $6 each. We chose the original white cream with our traditional and cookie cannolis, and really loved both! It was crispy, fresh and not overwhelmingly sweet even after our drive home. The employee who served us was cheerful and friendly too! Would be back getting cannoli here soon!

The best bagels I've had in Seattle, so soft on the inside with the perfect texture of cream cheese.

Oh the cannoli! I can't believe how long it took me to stop by this sweet little shop. The cannoli I got were heavenly! Fresh crispy shell, the smoothest and moderately sweetened cream filling....oh my! If you haven't tried this spot yet, hurry up and give them a visit! Hoping they stick around in this area, a much needed gem in Lake City. The girls were friendly and took the time to explain flavors and give their recommendations to me. The fam was VERY pleased savoring I very bite!

I cannot believe that it has taken me THIS long to get a cannoli from this unassuming little drive-up hut. Okay, I know they serve coffee and breakfast treats but definitely get a cannoli on your visit. Ordering them = simple and in three steps: Step I: Choose your shell size: a mini is 3" ($4) and a large is 5" ($6). Step II: Choose a cream flavor for the inside: classic white, mint chocolate chip, espresso, chocolate, and lemon zest. Step III: Choose your toppings: chocolate chips, pistachio, crushed Oreo cookie, toffee bits, candied lemon peel, and maraschino cherry. Step IV: Try NOT to eat it en route home, lest you be covered in powdered sugar like some sort of cannoli addict. Staff has always been pleasant, patient, and very nice. On my last visit I learned they also offer GF cannoli shells for those who require them. I think they only come in the large size though, but you will muddle through... trust me. You can pre-order online for boxed pickup. They also box up the ones I've purchased through the drive-up. There is a small window for walk-up customers and a couple of bistro tables in front. Though with all the traffic on LCW, I imagine the bulk of their business comes from drivers.

If you're going to replace a coffee cream cannoli with traditional, the least you can do is text or call me. The only reason I ordered them was my wife loves mocha cake and I thought of the espresso cream cannoli for mothers day. I would have canceled the entire order if I'd known, you've obviously texted me about the order. Very poor customer service and not in keeping with the 5 star reviews on Yelp.

Extremely friendly and the cannoli were yummy! It was drive through only though. I would have loved to sit around and get a coffee and enjoy my cannolo like a civilized person but I understand space constraints.

I randomly found this spot and I am so happy I did!! I actually haven't tried the cannoli's yet, I usually come here to get the almond roca latte and an everything bagel. I love that they have an option to drive thru however I've had a couple of times where no one came to the window and I was waiting around for a while. Which is why I cannot rate them 5 stars.

Tiktok lead me here a few weeks ago. I've never actually had a cannoli before but I found a tiktok video of Kelly's Cannoli and saw that these were the real deal. A must try if your in the area, it's in a convenient drive up location so you can swoop in and pick up a few cannoli's on your way home. That's what we had planned to do and then ended up eating them right there instead! They looked too good to resist. The cannoli's are piped fresh upon ordering and they have the most delicious flavors! Classic white cream, "traditional" with pistachio and chocolate chip, coffee toffee, cookies & cream ( I ate this one and oh my goodness is it amazing! Definitely worth ordering one or two). I met up with a friend here so we parked our cars along the side near the old car wash. It's a drive thru location but they also have a cute seating area on the side. The whole place is really picturesque and the people who work here seem really sweet from what I gathered on tiktok and my experience here. The person who helped us was super patient as we went back and forth trying to make up our minds and when they were ready she even brought them out to us. Thanks! Such a great spot for amazing cannoli's!

You've got to be kidding me! The best cannolis are in Seattle. What's da matta with you! I'm from NYC. I know cannolis. You want a cannoli? Go to Besonhurst or Cipolli's in Jersey. Not anymore!!!! GO TO LAKE CITY, NORTH OF SEATTLE!!! OMG, Kelly's Cannoli's were amazing, incredible. They busted my chops! After test driving cars in Lake City, I spied this little pink kiosk advertising cannolis. Huh? I did a sharp U turn, pulled my car in front, and strolled up to the window. "You make cannolis?" "Yes, the owner's from New Jersey," the charming young woman from Snohomish explained. We bought a bunch, brought them back to our apartment in Belltown, and ate them immediately. Ricotta cheese sprayed out of my mouth as I jumped up and down with glee. These cannolis were the best I ever tasted. I was flabbergasted. I am going to get to know Lake City real well. Are there any nice apartments in Lake City? Maybe I'll just sleep in my car next to Kelly Cannoli. You don't know what you're missing. Go to Kelly Cannoli's now!

I ordered cannolis for a birthday surprise. They were delicious and ready when they said they would be. I will be back

An unassuming little structure with some amazing cannolis! It is very easy to make a bad cannolis, so it is really impressive to find perfectly delicate but full shells with delicious fillings. The best cannolis I've had outside of Boston!

A drive thru cannoli place?! Whoa, I had to check this out! The location is a bit strange and you might miss it at first, but look for the little pink building. I only came here for the cannolis (ok and a cup of coffee, which was ok). There is a nice variety of cannoli flavors that they offer. We got the traditional (which has toppings of half chocolate chips and half pistachio & a cherry), pumpkin, & coffee. All of the cannolis were delicious, but my favorite was the pistachio side of the traditional. The nuts and cherry really bring out the oomph needed for the cream filling. I wish the toppings were incorporated into the cream though so that they don't all disappear on my first bite. The large cannolis are currently $5 each. To me, this is a lot, but I'm new to Seattle (although I am coming from L.A. County) and am slowly learning that food is pricey here so I might just have to get used to it... especially since I would like to come back and get more.

Wow! Had some (the classic chocolate chip flavor) for takeout. One of the best cannolis I've ever had. Not in that top top 1 or 2% tier, but right there with it. The fillings are probably THE best I've ever had in a cannoli. So smooth, so delicate and refined, so flavorful. Soooo good. The shell is way above average. The top 1 or 2% have these shells that are almost indescribably delicious...and so very rare. These aren't them, but they're at the absolute pinnacle of the tier below that. And you won't find but a handful of places that make them this good. I'll have to swing by there to try the other flavors.

This cute little drive through pink shack has the best cannolis I have ever tasted. You can choose your toppings, the employee makes them directly infront of you, the price is right and the service is fantastic!

Amazing find. Kelly Cannoli brings a classic New York dessert to Washington! I've been struggling to find a good cannoli in Washington. One restaurant I went to filled a crepe with whipped buttercream and called it a cannoli for $15. This is not the case at Kelly Cannoli. She fills the entire shell with ricotta filling and is generous with the toppings. I got a pistachio and chocolate and it was amazing! I will definitely drive 1.5 hours to grab a box of cannoli from here.

Ok I don't often go out of my way for dessert,s and usually don't even order it when it's right in front of me...but I will detour for these cannolis. 1/2 pistachio 1/2 chocolate please. They're SO GOOD.

I was having a terrible holiday and a small emergency brought me out towards this place. I thought I would stop by on the way home to try to turn my day around, and was plesently surprised! Staff and service was delightful, and the cannolis were a big hit as a party favor for my parent's (who are originally from NY) anniversary! I will be back!

In the area with my teenage son and looking for a cafe. Wasn't thinking cannoli but quizzed my son and he'd never heard of it and I wanted to broaden his food experience. Stopped by and found it really is a drive through experience, cute, and staffed by friendly and helpful people. Ordered an assortment of cannoli and decided to try a six-pack of their day-old bagels. The bagels were the big hit! Family asked for more and now I'm somewhat obligated to return. The cannoli are good but really sweet, I'd say more so than cannoli from Boston's North End, for comparison. Didn't try the coffee - next visit!

There's not much to say about Kelly Cannoli. It hits every mark you need it to hit if you're specifically craving drive thru dessert. The cannolis are perfectly sweet and crispy. The cream filling is smooth and light. The service is friendly, the menu is straightforward. I'm definitely passing by again if I'm in the area.

Took a trip to Boston in October and had all the best cannoli they had to offer. Fast forward to today when I found out that Kelly Cannoli existed and I max dashed to get there before close. I am being 100% real when I tell you that the flavor at Kelly's is comptable to the infamous Mikes Pastry and Modern Pastry. Kelly's was absolutely delicious and authentic. I am SO thrilled to have this east coast treat offered locally.

Disclaimer: I've never had a cannoli before finding this shop. But I know delicious food when I eat it! Are the cannolis delicious? Yes! Do they have tasty gluten-free cannolis for the poor schmucks like me who get a rash from eating wheat? You betcha! They also have bagels they fly in from New York (not gluten free so you know they're amazing). And some other foods like a breakfast burrito. I usually get drinks here, too. They have white coffee, which is so hard to find especially after Sureshot closed up years ago. They also have refreshing and delicious lemonade spritzers during the summer. Drinks are on the sweet side.

Always delicious! Excellent service too - we arrived after closing time and the wonderful staff still made us cannoli for my daughter's birthday. So kind! Love this place :D

We drove from Tacoma just to try this place! Which was like an hour drive and totally worth it!!! The guy helping us was awesome! Considering they're only a drive thru and me and my 3 friends wanted to try everything! The cannolis are great! Great flavors and taste fresh! I saw a review saying their bagels don't taste like New Yorks but yes they do! You can taste the authenticity I got the rainbow bagel which New York is famous for and it was delicious!!! They load them up with cream cheese super yummy! And we also got Red Bulls cause they have 50+ flavors I got the sunshine which was guava and lemon and it was super good! It does looks like a regular lil pink coffee shack that doesn't offer much but boy do the looks deceive you! Everything was great and I will be back!!

Disappointing. I didn't have any cannolis so I can't comment on those. The bagels though are disappointing. They say they are "New York" bagels, but they are not NY style bagels at all. These are the same factory made, flavorless, bagel shaped bread bagels you will find bagged up in any supermarket. It just so happens that the factory they are made in is in NY state. The fact that they ship them from NY should have been a giant clue. Proper made bagels would be stale by the time they shipped over. Only mass market factory made bagels filled with preservatives would survive the trip. Unfortunately actual good bagels are very hard to find in Washington. But if you're looking, there are now a couple of good options, Rubinstein Bagels and Loxsmith Bagels, both in Seattle are good bagels. Edit: Kelly, I saw your response, but it won't let me reply, so I'll just edit this. I'm glad you're wanting to serve authentic product, and appreciate that you think your bagels are, but your bagels are not it. Not even close. New York style bagels are much denser and have much more flavor ( not quite sourdough, but somewhat closer to it). Having grown up in NYC and NJ I am very familiar with what NY style bagels are and what you are serving tastes much more like what you can get from Franz at the supermarket.

Best kept secret IMO! Super hidden off lake city way in a tiny pink drive up espresso hut which they offer some drinks on top of the main reason you're here which is Cannoli's! They have a handful of great tasting selections and a small or normal sized cannoli. Great for people who want to test out which they like the most which I did one of each haha. My favorites are the pistachio cherry & the toffee! I recently tried the lemon filled cannoli and it's working it's way up to top 3. Definitely recommended to anyone in the area or just to go out of your way to try these deliciousness! Support small local businesses! And with this spot your keeping someone's tasty dreams alive.

Yes Kelly! Keep on doing what you're doing. I literally googled cannoli's today and made my way out to you. There was so line and the server was sweet and polite. I ordered the traditional, and a couple of others. The one with the pistachios and cherries is my absolute favorite. The cream was tasty, the shell was nice and crunchy. I'm in love and I want everyone to know.

Great cannolis and fresh NY-style bagels out of this cute roadside stand. The cream is a little on the sweet side and you can try 2 different toppings on each one (one on each end) so I'd recommend getting the mini cannolis if you're interested in trying a variety of toppings or don't have a big sweet tooth. Friendly service, although it can take a while for orders to go through if there's much of a line.

This establishment is awesome. Period. Here are the reasons why: - cannolis are freshly piped when you order - the vibe/aesthetic of the drive through is super cute - the service was friendly & quick - the beverage menu had a lot of options, I got drip coffee and the aroma & subtle fruity flavor in it was really enjoyable. Definitely one of the better coffees I've drank. - the deliciousness of the cannolis. I especially liked the mint flavor. Creamy, rich , sweet, slightly tangy filling paired with the crunchy, light cannoli is unbeatable. Goes great with coffee. Will definitely be back.
