Everything in this pastry shop is delicious and fresh! I've tried thier plain pound cakes, pies, both american and italian cheesecakes, all cookies, and the yummy pastries. The St Joseph pastries are the best I ever had and they dont skimp on the filling! The easter grain pie so good. Christmastime special there too. I only go here when I visit family and friends and everyone raves how good it is. I drive from a few towns away and will also get some just for myself! excellent highly reccomended.

This place is horrible. How they stay in business is a mystery. The pastries/ cakes are hit or miss. The service is rude. In my over 50 years of living in this area I've been in there maybe three times. I probably will never go back.

This place used to be good. It went downhill for sure. Everything I got was way too lemony. The eclair and cream puff shells were stale. The cannoli shell was soggy. The black and white cookie sucked. The rainbow cookies sucked. The pignoli cookies were sticky and lemony. The bread was stale. Everything I bought went in the trash. Such a shame because this bakery used to be really good.

First time visiting today, thanks to them being open later than all the bakeries in the area. Very impressed! cute shop with lots of goodies at fair prices. Service was friendly despite me not being the easiest customer. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I went in to pick up a Tres Leches Cake on 11/15/23 @4:30pm for my daughter's birthday. When I called they told me they always had them so I didn't have to place an order. They asked what to write on the cake and I told them. The service thus far was excellent. I noticed and mentioned to my husband that the black out cake in the showcase is my favorite. As for the cake, I cut the first slice and gave it to my daughter, she immediately said it was dry and she did not like how it tasted. I continued to slice and share out to my family who all stated it didn't taste right. My mother thought it had lemon essence! When I finally had a taste I had to spit it out, the cake tasted like spoiled sour milk! I say sour because the cake was not fresh, it was dry and tasted like spoiled milk. Just completely gross. It is a horrid taste to have in your mouth. My daughter (15) was very disappointed. I'm reached out via Yelp's messaging that night because I wanted to hear what ownership/management had to say and how they would deal with this. Needless to say it is now 11/21/23 and I have not had a response. I did consider taking the remaining cake and slices (I put them back in the box) back and asking them to taste it, but didn't want to be confrontational. I HAD to add a star rating - in my opinion it should be ZERO.

Clean shop. Great service. I love their cakes and cookies. Family owned. Open 7 days a week. I am happy they are in my neighborhood and take telephone orders.

The cakes that are not sold are frozen for resale...some of the cakes pies are short on filling not fresh....either

The sfogliatelle (lobster tail) at this bakery is incredible! I am a fan. However, the first time that I went there, I felt rushed the minute I walked in. The woman did not give me a chance to look around she immediately said “Yes? Can I help you?”…. It’s rude and uncomfortable. The second time, there was a young lady there who was fairly pleasant. Today when I went, there was a gentleman there and when I asked for the sfogliatelle, he was just rushing me to tell him how many pieces I’d like. Makes for an uncomfortable situation. Like I said, great bakery, but please work on the approach.
I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my wife's birthday earlier this week from Il Corso. This was my first custom cake order with the bakery. The cake was bone dry and had only one thin layer of strawberry gel in the center. It looked and tasted cheap. There wasn't a single strawberry inside either, just the red flavored gel. They only put a few as decoration on top. The only compliment I have is that the whipped cream was delicious. It doesn't do much good though if the cake portion is nearly inedible. I expected much more for a small cake costing over $30. I have a feeling they just took a cake off of the shelf that didn't sell and wrote "Happy Birthday" on it. Very disappointed. I will not be ordering from them again in the future.

I love IL Corso. They have the greatest cakes, cookies and pastries. Had a napolean cake for my husband's birthday, it was delicious.

I was looking forward to trying this bakery after reading the positive reviews. I ordered red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. I was told that they cannot make the entire cake with cream cheese frosting which was disappointing. The filling didn't have cream cheese taste at all. I also ordered macaroons which were overly sweet. I'm sure their cookies and cannoli tastes better as it's Italian owned. I hope they'll take my review into consideration and improve. This bakery is very close to where I live so I'd want to come again.
