A neighborhood bakery can carry more than dessert. Isgro traces its family-owned Philadelphia story to 1904, with cannoli at the heart of its identity.

Some recipes stay in the family.

Isgro says only three people know its secret cannoli recipe. That is the bakery's own account, and an intriguing detail to ask about on a visit.

Make a little time for it.

Check the current menu and hours, choose a pastry to try, and use the stop as the beginning of a wider neighborhood walk.

What is the bakery stop you always make time for?
