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
Modern Pastry has ruined all other cannoli's for me. No others will taste as good. Thanks. more
I stopped by the Modern Pastry Shop after dinner on a Saturday night on my recent trip to Boston. It was around 7:30PM and the line up was beginning to form. At first glance I wasn’t sure I wanted to wait that long, but I'm glad that I did. I picked up a chocolate dipped ricotta filled cannoli and a... more
Tried Mike's Pastry a few years ago and was told Modern was better and it was. Immediate service, friendly people and pastries were fresh and delicious. Would recommend highly!!!!!!! more

I"ve been going to Modern Pastry since I was a kid and it was fantastic. What Happened????? I visited on 8/12/09, bought a ricotta pie it wasn't that great, It was dry and the sfogliatella tasted stale I had to throw it away. What a waste!!!!! more

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor we decided to try this place over Mike's but ended up stopping by Mike's anyway just to compare. The pastries at both places were about the same but Mike's has alot more space and the atmosphere is just better overall. Much more selection at Mike's as well and everything is labeled, which makes things... more
We recently stayed in the North End in Boston. Although there were always crowds outside Mike's Pastry, we found Modern Pastry to be much better. The cannoli is to die for! The ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful with my questions (I wasn't sure what marzipan was made from). We ended up going there for breakfast and... more
After seeing the reviews we decided we'd try Modern Pastry instead of Mike's. Great choice. After dinner at Lucca we walked across the street to Modern Pastry and got our dessert to go. What a great experience! There was a line but it moved very fast and the locals in line with us were just fun to talk to. The... more
