A Little Italy original

A sweet stop.
A New York tradition.

For over 50 years, Caffè Palermo has been a sweet stop in the heart of the neighborhood—a place where the espresso is strong, the cases are full, and every welcome feels old-school New York.

148 Mulberry Street. A pastry case full of possibilities. And Baby John, the personality behind the Cannoli King.

Come Visit

The Cannoli King

Made by hand.
Remembered by heart.

Crisp shells, sweet ricotta, and a little New York magic. It’s the Caffè Palermo classic—and the reason generations keep coming back to Mulberry Street.

Watch Baby John fill the shells, one cannoli at a time.
