Passing by on our brief stop on Burano the wife decided it was snack time and a couple of cannoli later we were all sorted. Decent variety for a small shop and very tasty snacks and pastries.

We just happened to drop into this delightful Cookie shop/Patisserie and tried some Bussolai. These are "O" or "S" shaped Cookies that are from Burano. probably not as famous as Burano lace or its multi-colored houses but maybe better. We picked up a few cookies and the lady behind the counter was very nice though did not speak much english. Just a few Euro for a fantastic sweet treat. In retrospect- we should have picked up a few packages for gifts back home.

The famous Burano S-shaped cookies (bussola) are absolutely wonderful with coffee, or alone. My husband and I went to the bakery just to try the cookies to see if we liked them. We each got our own, but one would have been enough just to share and sample. The size of the cookie is very generous. My husband doesn't really do sweets, and he love the cookies, and so did I. I am now experiencing recipes I found on the internet to create this wonderful memory!

Someone recommended this bakery to us for their cookies. We stopped in and sampled a variety of sweets. The cannolis and cookies we tried were incredibly flavorful. They looked very plain but the buttery sweetness made us glad we popped in. Very friendly service.

We came to buy some local sweet specialties from the Venezian island of Burano.

The shop is full with plenty of variations which are also great as gifts.
