This is my 2nd order from Circos and I can't say enough about their cookies and biscotti some of which I have never seen before. These are old time Italian delicious as i remember them. The packaging was meticulous; I live in NJ and not one cookie was broken nor were sprinkles all over the place in the delivery.. wish we had one of your bakeries in Toms River. I froze the cookies for the holidays and they were just as delicious a week later. I will be a repeat customer. Pat V.
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.
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

This place is like if desserts were heaven on earth.
I am constantly frustrated by Italian cookies such as rainbow and other jam filled cookies not having so much as a slight scraping of preserve. Circo's does not do this and rather gives you all the jam and chocolate spread you could dream of. They make the most delicious cookies ever and their pastries are to die for.
Some may argue they are too sweet but that is exactly what I want out of a sweets and pastry shop. 5 Stars.
All roads lead to Circo's! Having had tried multiple Italian pastry shops, this still remains my go-to. I've only ever ordered through delivery services, but I can imagine in person is just as perfect! I plan on ordering online for family out of state some time into the near future, they're THAT good.
My family loves this place. My wedding cake was made from here and it was delicious. Best cake I ever tasted. I moved out of state a few yrs ago and when my family, who still lives in the state, said they were coming to my house for Thanksgiving, I asked them to please bring some items from Circo’s with them. And when I say out of state, I mean Georgia. My family picked up some of the best pastries my family and myself ever tasted and brought them to my house. I want to say I love this place.
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 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)
