## About

Founded in South Philadelphia in 1921, Termini Brothers Bakery at 8th & Dickinson is an essential stop for authentic Italian holiday desserts. During Thanksgiving week, the historic flagship bakery fills the neighborhood with sweet aromas of toasted almonds, orange blossom, and spun sugar as bakers hand-pin crispy cannoli shells and bake traditional Italian ricotta pies and sfogliatelle.

Standing in the Thanksgiving pickup line at the 8th Street shop is a cherished South Philly cultural experience where multi-generational families gather, neighbors exchange holiday greetings, and staff hand out fresh samples to youngsters. Children marvel at the vintage glass cases, brass cash registers, and open bakery window where artisans fill cannoli with sweet ricotta cream to order. Advance online ordering is strongly recommended to guarantee holiday dessert platters.
