I can't say anything that has not already been said. There are not many places that I would trek across a City the size of Boston to reach just for dessert. But this is definitely one. The cannoli and lobster tails are too good for words. I am sure I will try to recreate Mike's Cannoli in my kitchen...and I... more

Fabulous!

After having a miserable meal at the Florentine Cafe down the street, we decided to see what all the fuss was about at Mike's Pastry (the lines were 6 deep). WOW! It was fabulous! And fun! We should have started to night there instead! Loved it...wish we had one in Atlanta! more

Since we heard great things about both Mike's and Modern Pastry (almost right across the street in the North End), we decided to get a cannoli from both and judge for ourselves. We took our pastry's down to a little bar near the waterfront and accompanied them with some liquors. While they were both amazing, we found we enjoyed the... more

This place is ALWAYS busy, but let this not scare you away. Grab a chair/table and wait for the waitress to come up to you. You can order anything from pastries + gellato + coffee's. All Pastries are good. I recommend canolli's/loster tale/ricotta pie but there is something for every taste. I am SURPRISED how many people who spend their... more

We had a cupcake (bad) and apple turnover (average) with coffee (good). It was served (average) at our table. We took a table by the window. The best thing about the place was sitting by the window and people watching. more

Its probably all good but we got cannoli and my son got a cookie the size of his head, we all shared and it was tremendous. We took it back to our room to enjoy and they box it and wrap it in string for the trip back on the T. Everyone on board was giving us the knowing nod... more

If your in Boston's Italian North End for the first time, Mike's Pastry is a MUST EXPERIENCE! There's a reason that (fast moving) line is out the door...EVERYONE knows how fabulously delicious & inexpensive ($3/piece) these deserts are! (Secret...some of the local restaurants serve these on their own menus to unsuspecting customers at a higher charge of course ;) My... more

Everybody knows about Mike's and everybody in Boston is walking around carrying Mike's boxes. I thought it was going to be alot of hype until I tasted the cannolis. By far one of the best I have ever eaten. The place is mobbed and very chaotic on the weekend. There is no orderly line. You kind of just have to... more
