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

Pure Heaven! If you have a sweet tooth, this is a must! My wife and I came across this place while walking through the North End after dinner and I thought she died and gone to heaven when she walked in..... more

Be prepared.. its a zoo (crowded), but that's because its soooo good. more

This little pastry shop in the North End of Boston was fabulous! The line is out the door and down the block nightly because it is such a hot spot in town. Excellent cannoli's and I highly recommend the Mocha chocolate cupcake dessert. I don't even like coffee flavor, but this really didn't have a mocha flavor, just rich, amazing... more

We were told Modern was best, however, their selection was very limited compared to Mike's Pastry. We left Modern Pastry and went to Mike's Pastry. We purchased Boston Cream Pie that melted in your mouth. Cupcakes were to die for. Their icing was sweet, but not hard, it was light and creamy. We went on our last day in Boston... more

I went there with my best friend and daughter (who is in pastry) and being Italian (Sicilian descent) I know good cannoli, eclairs, regina cookies, etc. Most everything we got was pre-made and very sweet. I was extremely dissappointed. If anyone wants to know what it should taste like (like in Italy) I would recommend D'Robertis in New York City... more

There is a lot of choice for desserts here, but for me they will be the cannoli house. It is the best cannoli I ever had. They have very few tables, however, and it is always crowded. So a good option is grab a few cannolis to go and enjoy them at the near-by park. more
