Termini Brothers Bakery

Since 1921, when brothers Giuseppe and Gaetano first opened up shop in their South Philadelphia pasticceria, the Termini name has been associated with tradition, quality, and handmade Sicilian sweets. Now in the hands of the third generation of Termini brothers, the bakery never wavers from that foundation.

They still make traditional cookies, cakes, pastries, and torrone (nougat candy studded with nuts), just the way their grandfather and father did for over 90 years. Walk by their long counter filled with cookies fragrant with almond and orange—amaretti, biscotti, pignoli— flaky sfogliatelle, tall, immaculately frosted carrot and cream cakes, and you’ll understand why Termini leads the pack of Philadelphia’s Italian bakeries and has become a family tradition for so many people. Whether your pick is New York–style cheesecake, fig bars with Marsala and hazelnuts, or cannoli filled with whipped ricotta cheese, chocolate, or vanilla cream, a stop at Termini might become a family tradition for you, too.

A Message from Ownership

For over 100 years, Termini Brothers has been part of a special Philadelphia tradition built on quality, accessibility, and community. Over the past year, we have worked hard to manage rising costs without passing them on to our customers.
We believe we can do more.
This initiative is part of a larger effort to not only stabilize pricing but make our products more accessible again. Whether it’s a child buying a cupcake or a longtime customer picking up a coffee cake, these moments matter, and they should never feel out of reach.
We appreciate the effort each of you brings every day. Your commitment to this brand is what makes initiatives like this possible.
