Richard Elia founded the original Wholly Cannoli in 2000. It was located on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, Ma. Only a simple walk-in bakery with homemade bread, pastries and cannolis, it was a favorite spot on Shrewsbury St. In 2002,the bakery moved to Grafton St. in Worcester. The facilities were larger and there was space for tables where people could enjoy a coffee and pastry. As the years went by Wholly Cannoli was featured on " The Phantom Gourmet " as the hidden jewel in Worcester. Our greatest achievement since opening is that we have the largest selection of Cannolis on the East Coast. Along with our 40 different cannoli flavors we have our explosive Top Sellers like the Dynamite Stick, Cherry Bomb and the Landmine. When you read the Wholly Cannoli slogan "Cakes, Cookies and Pies Oh My!" You will know why when you enter the cafe and see the huge assortment of pastries in front of you.
