An amazing bakery. The best pastries and honey balls we have ever tasted and we are Brooklyn natives. I had my order shipped to Florida. Also, thank you for the wonderful, top class customer service. My Aunt's delivery (to Long Island) encountered some issues and Circo's stepped up and saved the day. They promptly sent her a new order the next day. Thank you so much to everyone!!!

I'm a long ways away these days from my beloved Brooklyn - but mom is going to be 94 and I'm up there myself and I thought I would treat us to some early Christmas treats from this iconic Brooklyn pastry shop. I purchased two packs of the Struffoli and a box of Savoiardi. They were shipped very quickly and with such great care! The THICK and well made shipping box had padding, the cookie box had padding inside and out, and the cookies were placed in a moisture proof bag and everything was thoroughly shrink wrapped - everything was perfect - not even one cookie was broken. Even delivered during a snow storm the contents were safe and dry - and SO VERY DELICIOUS!! It's been awhile since I was in your store - but these amazing treats brought us back to Brooklyn if only in our memories.

Circo’s is the real deal. Old school Italian Brooklyn bakery. We got the rainbow cheesecake slice and the tiramisu cup. Perfect after tacos at Nene’s. The cannolis looked incredible. We will have to return to try out some other treats.

I can't say enough good things about the quality and service of Circo's. This is now a must visit if you are anywhere near Brooklyn and if not, you won't find better mail order service anywhere. The quality of the pastries and cookies cannot be beat! This is a delicious step back in time to my childhood and is an absolute favorite.

I have been ordering from Circo's for a couple of years now. I lived in Florida and had delivery and now live in Connecticut and had a delivery today for my birthday. I have found them to be the best Italian Pastry Shop! They shipped and wrapped everything perfectly. Shipment said it would arrive by 12 noon today and it arrived at 11:59. Life is wonderful with Circos.

My parents got to keep my first order as UPS did not get it delivered in time, so I ordered a second. Purchased the Struffoli, 2lb assorted cookie box, and Holy Cannoli Donuts and all of them are fantastic. We decided as a family this will become a tradition!

I live in Florida and was craving a taste of home. I ordered a pound each of large Fig and sesame cookies. They arrived in 3 days perfectly boxed and shipped. They take great pride in their product and it shows. The cookies were delicious and very fresh. I will be ordering again soon for Christmas.

I have been searching high and low for custard pasticiotti and I finally found them here! Really great tasting dough and nice filling too. I’m really glad I got to take some home for my dad. I’ll be back next time I am in Brooklyn!

UPDATE: I was so happy that someone from the bakery reached out to me. We talked and after a nice discussion the bakery sent me another order of honey balls. They are going to arrive today. Yesterday my order of fig cookies arrived and I want to tell everyone THEY ARE DELICIOUS . I was not disappointed at all. I hope one day after the busy holiday to take a ride to Brooklyn to actually visit the bakery and pick up some other goodies. Thank you Circo's for hearing me and making things even better!! Merry Christmas. My anticipated order arrived today and I’m totally disappointed. I purchased 2 trays of honey balls and they were stale. I was very shocked by this. Anyway I tried to email directly but was unable . My hope is that they contact me to make this right

I recently ordered Struffoli and an assorted Italian cookie box from Circo’s Pastry Shop and had them shipped all the way to Hawaii. The care they put into packaging was unbelievable — they even lined the cookie box with bubble wrap, and not a single cookie arrived broken. That alone deserves five stars. What really struck me was the nostalgia. It’s been about 25 years since I’ve had these cookies, and the first bite instantly transported me back to my childhood. I brought them over to my parents’ house, and it was a throwback for them too. My mother grew up around the block on Irving Avenue and remembers when the family took over the bakery so seeing these cookies again brought back memories. I’m so grateful that Circo’s ships all the way out here to Hawaii. My kids tried the cookies for the first time in their lives and are completely hooked. And please — consider opening a shop on Oʻahu. You already have fans waiting. (We will crack into the Struffoli next week)
