They greeted me in Spanish so I took the prompt and conversed in Spanish. They explained some of the most popular treats and I tried the cholado and my boyfriend had the fruit salad with ice cream. They were both so tasty and there's plenty more I would want to try. My only qualm was that it was expensive. I'm not sure if we were accidentally overcharged or if we were told the wrong price and we didn't think it through until after the transaction, but the total for the two ice creams was $24.

There was a line, but it moved quickly - we waited about 10 minutes total. We tried several things: pistachio, limoncello, pecan caramel cannoli and the pecan caramel cheesecake. I didn't even think I liked cannoli at all based on a previous experience, but WOW - these changed my perspective. They were sweet without being overwhelming. The cheesecake was delicious as well. Heads up, as other reviews have mentioned, it's cash only. Luckily, my mom is old school and always carries cash with her. I wish I lived in Boston - I'd love to come back to try their other offerings.

She was making my drink. I just walked out leaving it there. I cannot believe what I saw. EDIT Based on Owner Response: So if you watched, you'd see me standing staring open mouthed watching through the blue glass, look around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was, then LEAVE WITHOUT THE DRINK I PAID FOR because of what I saw. I understand you're doing what you need to for your business, but don't try to make it seem like I imagined it.

I love the fact that the cannolis are made to order leaving you with a crispy shell everybody. They even offer many cannolis for those like myself who don't have a large sweet tooth. The filling people might find on the Tad sweeter side in which I would recommend the pistachio or almond topping if not, go traditional with the chocolate chip. The location is adorable with a variety of pastry options, notably, the moon cookie! The service was great and attentive, and if you get the chance I would recommend sitting and enjoying a nice coffee or tea versus waiting in the line. In comparison to Boa's, it was very close for our party, but the fresh shell put it on top. I will state that Boba's cream filling was more of my style with the less of the sweet kick. Either way you can't go wrong either location, but the additional pastries offered at modern along with the sitdown option was also another touch. Don't be timid by the line it moves rapid and it's well worth it!
