Mannino&#8217;s Cannoli Express was born after owner Gabriella Mannino Tomasello introduced a blueberry cannoli to festivalgoers at just 16-years-old and sold out within minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Today, the downtown Hammonton shop is known for its fresh-filled cannoli, imported Sicilian shells, homemade creams, gelato, espresso drinks, and strong ties to the community. Using local blueberries during the summer months, Mannino&#8217;s continues to blend Italian tradition with South Jersey flavor, serving customers who feel more like family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">Manninos Cannoli Express<br class=\" \"\/>220 Bellevue Ave, Hammonton, NJ 08037 <br class=\" \"\/> <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/gotcannolinj.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">gotcannolinj.com<\/a> | <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/manninoscannoliexpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BySusan Lucci Tuesday, July 14, 2026 3:46PM Hammonton, N.J. &#8212; What started as a blueberry-inspired idea at Hammonton&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":398042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[10276,159846,159845,159847,159841,159850,112,114,113,109755,159843,159849,159842,159844,159848],"class_list":["post-398041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-bakery","tag-blueberries","tag-blueberry","tag-blueberry-festival","tag-cannoli","tag-espresso-drinks","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-gelato","tag-hammonton-n-j","tag-homemade-creams","tag-manninos","tag-manninos-cannoli-express","tag-sicilian-shells"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/398042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
