Cafe Sicilia in Gloucester, MA was such a lovely find. I was in town on a quick business trip and wanted a good cup of coffee and something sweet for my drive home. I spotted this Italian bakery and café on the map and decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did.
The almond biscotti was probably the best I’ve ever had – and I’ve made it several times myself at home so that’s saying a lot. I honestly wish I had their recipe. The coffee was smooth and paired perfectly with the pastry, and the overall atmosphere was warm, cozy, and exactly what you hope for in a small New England town café.
Sophia, who waited on me, was incredibly charming and very customer-centric. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail made the experience even better and really stood out. I also picked up a lobster tail pastry for David to enjoy later at home. That one seemed like it might have been more than a day old, which was a bit disappointing, but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back. I’m actually excited to bring David with me next time so we can try more of their Italian pastries fresh in-house.
If you’re looking for delicious Italian baked goods, great coffee, and genuinely kind service in Gloucester, MA, Cafe Sicilia is absolutely worth a visit. The pricing was very fair for the quality, and it’s the kind of local spot you’re happy to support and return to.

It had that authentic Italian but modern appearance. This place is where the locals go. I was vacationing for two weeks staying in Gloucester, my wife and I started each day at Sililia’s. I would mostly get the house medium brew with an added shot of espresso. I also had on a couple of mornings 2x mocha latte with cream. Great pastries especially the Lobster. It is like a croissant type of pastry filled with cream. It gets it’s name from it’s shape. You can’t go wrong the locals that congregate each morning are very friendly as well as the staff.

Italian pastries and coffee in a casual setting. Several tables inside and outside. Quick service, sometimes a line but it goes fairly fast. All I can say is wow… highly recommend. I had several items, including some not pictured… favs were the cannoli (filled to order) and the fig bar. Coffee was to die for. Great spot to relax with company and enjoy some desserts. Absolutely stand out.

My coffee was delicious! The employee that helped me navigate the menu brought my coffee drink idea to reality and helped pick the perfect snack to go with. The dining room looked like it was under construction, and the customer bathrooms were out of order.

This place was recommended by a friend that lives in Gloucester, what a great hidden gem! Some of the best cannoli I ever had! Definitely will return.
