Always tough to find a good cannolo in London and at EtnaCoffee you will definitely find one, the ricotta is exceptional!

An amazing Sicilian cafe! The pistachio cookie was the best I’ve ever had. Highly highly recommend.

I’ll start by saying I’m not Sicilian, nor even Italian, so I can’t claim to have the level of insight gained from eating these dishes for a lifetime. But I have eaten my way around Sicily several times, so I can confidently assert that, at least to this outsider’s palate, EtnaCoffee offers as authentic an experience of the island’s rich street food scene as you can hope to find on our rather milder shores.I first became a repeat customer of this small, family-run business on the strength of their typical Sicilian sweets, but have since come to love many of their savoury offerings as well; not an easy double-act to pull off this well!Starting with the cannoli, EtnaCoffee’s set the standard for how a classic cannolo should be: a tube of fried pastry with sweetened fresh ricotta piped in only(!) after you order, creating the perfect marriage of light, fluffy dairy filling barely contained by an almost impossibly brittle flaky shell. This together with one of their proper Italian-tasting short coffees is guaranteed to soothe your London blues at any time of day or year.Their granita, meanwhile, plays protagonist to one of the best summer breakfasts you can find in this city. For the uninitiated, going out to a bar for a granita and a brioscia col tuppo (a brioche-like sweet bun) is mine and probably most Sicilians’ preferred way to start a sweltering hot day. Forget all those brunch concept places your feed is sending you on IG – this is just as photogenic, and much more delicious. EtnaCoffee’s granite stand up to the best I’ve tried in Sicily; the pistachio, nutty and cream but not heavy (much more refreshing than gelato), and the almond almost medicinally marzipan-fragranced. Order the latter with a brioscia and an espresso on the side and your server will likely compliment you on having assembled one of the best flavour combos known to humankind! Just bear in mind that the Bauso brothers hold true to Italian tradition in only offering their frozen confections during the (relatively) warmer months.But don’t worry, they have plenty of other items on the menu to please your stomach at this chillier time of year. For a start, their cioccolata looks appropriately thick and abundant, though I’ve yet to try it myself…What I can vouch for, though, is the quality of their various piping-hot savoury street foods!Their arancini are exemplary. Generous with the filling, perfectly crisp, fresh out of the fryer, posso dire di più? A must-try if you’ve never been to Sicily. Meanwhile, a newer addition and immediate favourite on a recent visit are their calzoni fritti! These looks to my untrained eye very much like the panzerotti I’ve had in Puglia, but the dough is slightly thicker and spongier than I’m used to, which I think actually makes for a more satisfying eating experience as you’re essentially biting into a freshly fried, cheese-filled doughnut. An ideal lunch for me is pairing one of these bombe with what I consider the Bauso family’s not-so-secret-secret weapon – the caponata! I’m definitely biased as this is probably one of my favourite dishes in the world, but EtnaCoffee’s is the best I’ve had in the UK and a beautiful sweet-sour-fresh foil to all their devilishly good fried fare.Venue-wise, the space is more cozy than spacious, and, as some reviews have mentioned, they could do with installing a customer toilet...But I don't think these would be concerns for most going to a bar or tavola calda place in Italy - they're there to eat or drink, have a quick chat and go. The staff are also friendly enough without being obsequious, and it can really feel like Italy in there at times, like when there’s a steady stream of suited customers queuing up for their late-morning or mid-afternoon caffè, or a multi-generational group of family and friends laughing amongst themselves in the corner.For the above reasons, EtnaCoffee’s been a fixture in my London routine for a few years already, and I wish them all the success they deserve (I still need to get back to try their homemade crema al caffè!).
