Unfortunately it was a disappointment. I was expecting authentic Italian pastry flavors. But instead the filings were more like a thick, bland custard that looked like refried beans (chocolate cannoli), the chocolate lemon pie flavors were just not right and too much lemon filling and the lobster tail filling was also off, it had a lemony flavor. All desserts expensive for what they were. Drinks (cappuccino) were good.

Libby’s Italian Pastry Shop is one of those places that feels woven into Connecticut itself. It’s a true staple – the kind that most people in this state know by name, and somehow, no matter how much time passes, it’s still just as good as the first day I ever went.
The Italian ice is hands-down the best around, and the pastries are simply unmatched. Every case is filled with classics done right, and nothing feels trendy or watered down -just generations of consistency and quality. This is a place families return to over and over again, and for good reason. We’ve been coming here for generations and now we’re bringing our kids, which says everything you need to know.
Everyone knows they’re closed on Tuesdays. It’s basically Connecticut trivia at this point, but any other day, you can count on getting the best of the best. No shortcuts, no surprises, just perfection.
Stopping at Libby’s is the perfect ending to grabbing pizza on Wooster Street. Historic street, classic flavors, and a tradition that never disappoints. Some places don’t need hype. They’ve already earned their reputation.

Libby’s is definitely a great place to cool off and enjoy gelato and pastries! We had gelato (pistachio and black raspberry) before having to dinner down the road at Franks. The ladies were attentive and quick to help and even suggested items and other places to shop at.

Food is so good! Fun atmosphere. Sad they don’t use apply pay, though I respect a choice.
Didn’t get a photo, but I also had a Zeppole, which I would describe as a fried donut cut in half with a lemon custard between the slices. I loved it. Sweet but not too sweet at all.
The cream on the eclair is delicious. So sweet. (Don’t tell my boyfriend I swiped a taste). Next time I will select something with that sweet cream because it was absolutely the sweetest flavor.
The Valentine’s Day cannoli is chocolaty and the cream is a delicious amount of raspberries. Personally not a fan of chocolate, so a little disappointed in myself for pick it, but it was too cute!

We stop here for treats ever so often when we have time. They have a wide variety of pastries as well as a large variety of cannoli flavors. They sell coffee and lattes which I’ve never had yet. But we have had the Italian ice and Gelato on a hot day. Everything is pretty decent I would say. Can’t really complain.

Located right next to Frank Pepe’s , we opted to go here right after for some dessert and coffee as a group of us had traveled all morning to get to CT.
It was nice to go indoors in some much needed AC and shade. They do have several tables indoors but not very big so if you have a large group, you may need to sit separately, stand or combine tables.
They offer a wide selection of tasty cannoli’s and since we had gotten several different ones, I can safely suggest these are a good choice! My favorite was the pistachio and the double chocolate.
However, I would not recommend their coffee. First, the person who took my order told me they could not make a latte but essentially an Affigato.. I was slightly confused as a latte is just milk and espresso. Then he sounded annoyed when the barista told him we can make it. It was nearly $7 and it was NOT worth it. The coffee tasted burnt and it wasn’t just me. Several of my friends also got coffee and ended up throwing it out.
While I did not see a sign, they also require that you purchase the stand along cookies per lb so this is not a good option if you’re wanting a small treat.

I really wanted to like this, but it was a letdown from the first bite. The filling tasted like artificial pudding — more like a thick, bland custard — and the whipped topping reminded me of Cool Whip, not fresh cream. The shell was stale and lacked flavor.
Overall, this felt like a low-effort version of what should be a delicate dessert. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Got the chocolate lemon pie, and cannoli prior to this here. Could’ve baked better myself. The staff is super nice and helpful though!

Was told to try one of the oldest Italian pastry shop in New Haven. The cannoli was okay. It took the employee a couple seconds to answer. A simple question, is the shell fried in house or do they get it imported. He claims that they’re made in-house. They were pretty good. The only thing that was a turn off is they had a nice state-of-the-art coffee espresso machine and they used a traditional Nespresso machine like to make my espresso with the pods. I’m the type of guy that drinks my espresso no sugar and the espresso is horrible
