The lobster tails and cannolis were as delicious as I remembered from over 10 years ago. This is a must stop for anyone visiting the North End. more

Throughout the entire trip locals kept telling us that we had to visit Mike's. Not until out last night there did we find the time. The line was out the door but we didn't wait long. The inside of the store was a bit chaotic but added to the fun atmosphere. We ordered a cannoli and a lobster tail. It... more

I didn't hear about Mikes till I was sitting having dinner in North End Boston. I over heard a local saying, they treat themselves once a month to a cannoli from, "Mikes Pastry." Immediately it clicked that, that was the boxes I watched so many Bostonians walking around with. The cute white box with blue writng and the cute string... more

We heard of Mike's Pastry through coworkers and friends who had went to Boston. While you do have to wait, it is well worth it. The cannoli and pignoli cookies were amazing! We went both nights we were in Boston after dinner. The waiter at dinner said the locals went to Modern Pastrty so we tried there too. There is... more

My husband and I just stumbled on this place, and it was crowded. Everyone seemingly wanted to buy something here. Lines are long and seats are few. Everywhere you go around Boston, you see people with "Mike's Pastry" take-out boxes. We managed to get a seat both times we went by patiently waiting for a table, as our legs were... more

Everyone who has been to Boston said get a cannoli from Mike's Pastry. The locals say go to Modern Pastry. I was confused on which place to stand in line for. So I said what the heck, I will eat one from both places. I would say if you want a great cannoli, get it at Modern. I was told... more

Mike's was PACKED when we went with a line down the street. I started second guessing Tripadvisor reviews.... wondering if it'll truly be worth the wait. I have to say that Mike's is a madhouse!!! They really should have some sort of actually line system when you get into the store. Once we got into the store, it was everyone... more
