What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Varallo Brothers Bakery is a traditional Italian bakery in South Philadelphia, known for cannoli, fresh bread, and other Italian pastries sold from a storefront on South 10th Street. The bakery sits in the city's Italian Market corridor, a historically Italian-American commercial strip. Yelp's listing for the bakery, updated July 2026, shows 125 reviews and recent photo activity at the address, with no closure notice attached to the listing. Reviews posted on Tripadvisor and Birdeye describe recent customer visits without indicating the shop has stopped operating. The packet's original listing named the business only as "Varallo Brothers"; current sources identify it specifically as Varallo Brothers Bakery, and that fuller name has been used in this record. No dedicated business website could be located during this review, so the hours and ordering information above relies on third-party listings.
