Charming Kitchen was amazing!! We got two large trays of Cannoli, Cannoli Tarts, and some other assorted pastries for a big family event. Our guests kept commenting about how fancy they were and beyond delicious! They helped us to set up a nice display of the treats and even set up an area for our young kids to decorate their own cannoli. That made it even more special!You bet that we will be hiring them again for our next party! More...

Best bakery in the Bay Area. Hands down my favorite cannolis. You'll feel like you walked into your Nana's kitchen (especially if you're Italian and/or Sicilian). My grandparents migrated from Florence and Calabria, and no place reminds me more of being in Italy than Charming Kitchen. Great service and communication. More...

Excellent! Just like my Nana used to bake and excellent service. As for Joseph Z. There are always 2 sides to a story. I suspect he's the kind of person you couldn't please even if you bent  over backwards.

By far the best cannoli in San Jose and the Bay Area. We order birthday cakes, cupcakes and cookies from here for work.. .and I decided to order some cannoli to make it a bit different. Everyone was going crazy. I only wish I had ordered the large and not the small so - we ordered large last Friday and it was so delicious it was sinful. The chocolate are just the right amount of chocolate. Shells are fresh and the ladies are super easy to work with and responsive. More...

Wow! Unbelievably delicious and beautifully presented. They make everything from scratch, down to the jelly in the jelly cookies. The owner is using her Sicilian grandmother's recipes and I think grandma would be proud. We had the cannoli bar and assorted cookies for a work celebration and there were audible exclamations as each item was tasted. Very unique, and they put a lot of detail into the presentation. And the owner was genuinely a pleasure to work with. As good as it gets! More...

Best cannoli in San Jose. Best Italian bakery in san jose. Great Sicilian cookies and pastries. We ordered a cake, cookies and cannoli from the Charming Kitchen and we are so happy we did. Exciting and different cannoli cake. Delicious cannoli and buttery and fresh cookies. A lot of care and love went into the baking. Delighted to have been using them for 5 years for family events. Mange the cannoli in one bite. So good with coffee and family conversation. Five Star Cannoli from The Charming Kitchen. More...

The best cannoli in San Jose hands down. Fresh shells, delicious filling. The cookies and cakes are just like the ones my family made growing up. This bakery is working hard to keep the traditions of Italian cookies, cannoli and Italian baked goods, alive. Their cakes are really something, too. I used them at all the holidays and love to see their spreads at weddings. Here is my cousin's wedding. More...

Vanessa and her mom were the best in creating the best desserts for our dessert table. Vanessa is very easy to work with and very accommodating. They went the extra mile  for us by setting up and decorating the table as well. (I was getting confused on how to set it up) . The desserts were the hit of the shower! I will only go to her now for my sweets need! More...

Over the weekend, we hosted a bridal shower for our best friend. Needless to say, we wanted to go above & beyond for her and throw the bridal shower of her dreams! We contacted The Charming Kitchen to see what they could do for us, and boy did they deliver. They made unique cakes for dessert, along with cupcakes & mini cupcakes. Not only did they taste amazing, but the desserts were decorated perfectly for the shower and the wedding colors were spot-on. It felt like the cakes even added to the décor just by being there. The desserts were easily delivered and set up on the day of the shower. The Charming Kitchen was great to work with, and the shower would not have been the same without their help...everyone loved the desserts!! Would definitely recommend The Charming Kitchen and work with them again! More...

Our babies first birthday was made even more memorable by the stunning cake, cupcakes and cookies from The Charming Kitchen. All treats tasted as good as they looked. The cake was moist, with wonderful flavor, and not too sweet. The cupcakes and cookies were equally as delicious. Charming is easy to work with and makes sure everything turns out just right. Highly recommended for the next time you need treats at a special event! More...

I attended a baby shower Brunch today catered by The Charming Kitchen. Â The setting was gorgeous and the food delicious. Â The French toast was moist, sweet and the texture just right. Â Bacon, sausages, fruit, croissants...and 3 different types of cupcakes for dessert. Â It couldn't have been more lovely or delicious. Â I will consider them for our next party! More...

I found The Charming Kitchen via Yelp while searching for an Italian bakery. I made contact through their online order form and left a voicemail as well. Vanessa was helpful and friendly. We decided on the deluxe large cookie assortment for my company's holiday lunch. The luncheon was being held at a hotel restaurant and The Charming Kitchen delivered directly to the restaurant. I didn't have to worry about a thing. We had over 20 guests and every single person commented on how much they loved the cookies. In fact, my boss liked them so much that he had me place an order for his family's Christmas Eve dinner. Again, Vanessa was great and delivered the cookies herself to his home. I have a feeling that we'll be placing a lot of future cookie orders! Thank you for helping make our 2014 holiday parties yummy!! More...

Well, I made that August order and the cookies did not last long at the party! Â Again, Vanessa delivered on schedule and was very pleasant and helpful throughout the order process. Â No particular cookie stood out as anyone's favorite because they were all so good! Â Thanks so much for making Rose's 100th birthday celebration so special. More...

While searching for a bakery in San Jose area now that Aki's is closed and Wilsons, I came across The Charming Kitchen. I am SO Glad I did. I didn't even know there was an Italian bakery in San Jose, let alone one that also has Sicilian treats too! While they don't have a storefront just yet, Vanessa is awesome and will deliver your order right to you! We ordered 6 cannoli and they were amazing! Very fresh and delicious! The cannoli tubes were just as good as the cream. They didn't last long in the house at all. My husband loved the citron one, while I preferred the chocolate and the traditional. I can't wait to try the other goodies she offers. More...

I love love, love and  love their Italian cookies. You seriously can not resist them! Flavor and Presentation are over the top. I usually only eat my own homemade cookies, so I consider myself a hard critic...almost an Italian cookie snob. But the Charming Kitchen bake with a lot of Italian and love... You can taste it!!!!
