Marcella's Italian Bakery

I am not a desert person but this made me change my mind. They have a wide selection of delicious cakes, pastries, baked goods etc. We got the Chantilly fresh cream Gateaux slice which was an Italian vanilla sponge filled with Chantilly fresh cream and strawberry jam. It was light , moist with a perfectly balanced sweetness to it. And it costs us around £2.35 which wasn’t too bad. I can highly recommend this! Next time will try their Black Forest cake

Love this place. Can’t believe how reasonably priced the treats are. I ordered 9 donuts for polish donut day and it only came to £10 - unbelievable! Can’t think of anywhere else that is cheaper than that. As you can see from the pics they aren’t small either. They also tasted amazing. More of a bread like texture than your normal donuts with nice flavour. I also had a pistachio cannoli which was delicious. Everything is so fresh and authentic. I am only giving 4 stars for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I like to be strict with my scores so try and not dish out 5s all the time. The only obvious fault that I can give is for the collection of the donuts. I placed my order and paid for my donuts over the phone to be at the neighbouring shop because I didn’t think I would get there in time before the shop closed. I was very appreciative that they were going to offer this service to me. However, I was able to get to the shop earlier than anticipated and the shop was still open when I arrived. It took them awhile to find my order but when they did it wasn’t prepared. So they had to quickly put a box together for me. Thankfully, I arrived early or else I likely wouldn’t have got my donuts from the shop next door. I purposely asked for 1 of each donut 9 in total and they said that the only missing one was the original sugar donut. I was fine with that but when I opened the box, and as you can see from the pic, there was a few duplicates which shows that I never got all 9. I know, it’s not the end of the world, and I may be being picky, but it’s the small details that make a difference. Overall, the slight negative didn’t drastically hinder my experience just minus a star. Will 100% be back. P.S. There are so many treats to choose from so if you are indecisive like me then you may be there awhile. Thankfully they are cheap enough so you can buy a few.

Best cakes in Edinburgh Scotland. Sooo yummy. Vanilla iss toooo good. Simply love it. Owner and staff is also great. Polite and professionals. Highly recommended.

Really disappointing visit. I got a slice of carrot cake and my wife got an apple and caramel pie. However, when I got home I noticed the edges were brick hard, so hard in fact, you could hear the spoon tap against the side of the cake. It was like that all the way through and totally inedible.....really disappointing. On the plus side, my wife enjoyed her apple pie and said it was really nice. It could be that I was just unlucky and got a piece that had been lying out too long but I don't think I'll be back. The price wasn't unreasonable at £4.15 for both cakes but I did expect much better.

Very nice and fresh! I love cake here because its not too sweet. for me, i do love fruity cake most! Birthday cake here is the best!!!

Tasty Cakes. Lovely staffs. It’s a small Cake Shop though. Bought many cakes from here esp for my daughter’s Birthday. Not sure if you can order online but They have always ready Birthday Cake available but it can be sometimes sold out. They have donuts too and sandwiches. You can order today and get it NEXTDAY! Order this cake very last minute Good they have stock. The girl just messed up with “2th” which should be 2nd lol

Got a box of goodies from here that only came to £10. Incredibly well priced for what you get. We tried the viennese cookie which was delicious, the tiramisu cake which again was very very nice and a couple of macaroons which were good too. The red velvet was the only slightly average thing but all in all definitely worth a visit if you're passing through.

I'd like to thank you very much for making an absolutely beautiful celebration cake. It tasted amazing and my friends were very happy with their cake.

You must try this shop, everything looks great. I have had a few different things already and I'm happy with everything. A little expensive but worth it especially if you like desserts. Really nice people who serve you too.

Sicilian Pastry is just wow if you’re ever in Edinburgh it’s a must as I travel from the Midlands. I’ve always visited Sicilian Pastry Shop when ever I visit Edinburgh. The variety is just amazing spoiled for choice. These macarons are done right. They are almost unbelievably delicious with flavors that linger. Customer service is first class - very personal and very nice. I would name favorite flavors, but the macarons are all so very good. these days quality small businesses should be nurtured a real gem. These cannoli taste just like the best ones I’ve gotten at Italian bakeries! They have the perfect combination of flavors and textures. The cannoli shells are perfectly tender and flaky, like a flake away in your mouth kind of texture.
