  Fratelli’s has incredible selection of baked goods. Our personal favorite is definitely the Sicilian Canolli. The price is a bit expensive but the quality is pretty decent.

  Fratelli’s quite a popular bakery in Little Italy (i.e. The Drive). I’m quite impressed by their selection of tasty-looking goods and very affordable prices. I’ve tried their whip cream cannoli, hazelnut square, and triple chocolate cake. In general, I found their flavours to be a bit too mild for my liking, and some of their pastries do taste a bit artificial. My favourite of the bunch is easily the triple chocolate cakes. Whip Cream Cannoli ($2.5):3/5The shell was flaky, similar to that of a puff pastry. It was filled with whipping cream which, while fresh and smooth, was also quite mild and too bland for my liking. I will try their regular cannoli next time for comparison.Hazelnut Suqare ($2.5):3/5This consisted of layers of cake with chopped nuts and whipped cream, and was topped with a chocolate/hazelnut ganache. It was soft and moist, and the nuts provided a nice bit of crunch. Although it was sweeter than the cannoli, I still found it to be a bit too mild for my liking. It also had a slightly artificial flavour (perhaps extract) that I found to be a bit off-putting.. The hazelnut decorating the top of the dessert was unfortunately bland and stale.Triple Chocolate Cake ($3.25):4/5I know that I’m biased since I’m a massive chocoholic, but this is easily my favourite of the three. The cake was very moist, fudgy, and in contrast to the cannoli, quite bold in flavour. I think that they might have purposely slightly underbaked the cake as it was a bit gooey in the middle (in a good way). It was topped with a layer of chocolate icing that was sweet, with a slight hint of salt. Again, I did find the cake to have a slightly odd scent that I couldn’t quite discern; fortunately, it wasn’t very strong and it didn’t stop me from polishing off the cake.Although Fratelli might not be the greatest when it comes to quality, their offerings are still tasty enough and their prices more than reasonable for me to recommend this place to those looking for a place on The Drive to get their sugar fix.

  God bless another great addition to commercial street. While I was taking a stroll with my husky pup I smelled fresh pastries on the block first thing this morning. I walked in and was greeted instantly. I love their setup. Clean, fresh, straight forward, community oriented. This buisness does functions and weddings. They deliver! I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a cranberry cheese cake. It looks amazing! I scarfed down my eclair before I even noticed I forgot to take a pic of it LOL. Great little place, love it.

  Mmmmm Fratelli is the best! Such a wonderful array of cakes, pastries, freshly baked bread, cookies – you name it! Their St. Honour cakes are filled with fresh custard and whip cream. Eclair a are great too, go for the hazelnut one. For those who don’t have a big sweet tooth, their sausage rolls are flaky and delicious!

  Not bad. I had a pretty decent latte. Though it was very weak, it wasn’t burnt, which is a rarity in Canada. The sausage roll was tasty, but it was mostly just pastry. The cakes and pastries looked amazing, so I decided to try one. The Silk chocolate truffle bar didn’t disappoint.
