1000% best cannolis I’ve ever had my whole family agreed we loved them so much, a bit pricey but SO worth it so much so that we got two boxes in just one week. If you want something good and sweet get these, I just had these today still so good, always delicious

This place is summer in a cup. Whether it’s Italian ice, fresh lemonade, or dreamy soft serve, Julia’s is the post-beach pit stop you never knew you needed. Always busy, always worth it. Bonus: you can snag some fried food or a cold beer from the shared stall next door. Beach day perfection.

Made a point to get cannolis this trip around and they are still very good. The shell was harder than I remember but they tasted good. I would go again. Old review from 2yrs ago below Omg! The best thing I found on the board walk! It's hard to find a good cannoli but these were well worth the $6 . These tasted just like my Italian grandmas. My only regret was not getting more to bring home. Don't mind the picture, I had my hands full trying to eat on the board walk. Alot bigger than the picture shows

Every time we come to OC, we always forget who has the best funnel cake. We decided to check reviews and found Julia’s and these reviews were correct. The funnel cake was delicious and the Cannoli. I do recommend checking Julia’s out very delicious and will come back again next time we are in OC.

What can I say, but that this place has one of the best cannoli I have had. The cannoli has the right amount of crisp and the filling is perfectly sweet. It is not too sweet nor too less. They give a generous amount of filling per cannoli which can really fill you up. Their Italian ice is also perfectly made. The texture is very smooth and doesn’t give you the feeling that you are having Italian ice. It feels very creamy. I would recommend anyone to stop here and experience the joy of having this cannoli and Italian ice.

Grew up in NY and these are the best Cannolis around. Hands down. If you give them a review for less than 5 stars you're off your rocker. Highly recommend.

The wait in the line wasn't long, the staff are friendly and fast. We went for the cannoli and funnel cake, they didn't disappoint. The flavor was there and they were fresh made. Highly recommend
