It was my first time visiting this shop because a friend recommended I try it out. On my first day,…read moreI ordered a pistachio croissant (the pistachio cream is so good!) and a Thai tea. For takeout, I got a mango mousse (nicely tart), a crème brûlée kouign-amann, and a rose raspberry bowtie. Everything tasted delicious--just the right amount of sweetness, not overly sweet at all. On the second day, I ordered takeout again: an almond croissant, a rocket pop pain suisse, and the crème brûlée kouign-amann once more. ​Anne was polite, super friendly, and very helpful with menu recommendations. On the first day when I ordered takeout, Anne even kept the pastries chilled for me because I couldn't walk around the area carrying them in the intense heat without them spoiling before I reached the hotel. Truly the best and most helpful service!

One bite of the Banana Miso Caramel and I'm convinced this may be among my favorite pastries. This…read morecould even be lovely in a cake form. The banana tastes nicely sweet and fresh, creamed with miso adding that hint of savory goodness and topped with caramel. The croissant was beautifully flakey, buttery. Altogether they make for a really refreshing treat, it's not too sweet, which, as we all know, is the highest form of compliment a treat can be! Upon walking in the shop I was greeted by several staff (in a graceful, friendly, not over the top way) which is lovely for a morning vibe where I'm still yet to get my caffeine fix. Just the right amount of love and jolly. I sat outside by the park/plaza to enjoy a nice morning with my coffee and this pastry. Excellent addition to the neighborhood!

The tiramisu latte was well balanced with a sweet flavor but not overpowering making it a pleasant mid-day coffee. The lady finger at the top is a nice addition to the drink which can be dipped in the coffee, eaten alone, or ignored. Typically these drinks end up being super sweet but I liked how this drink managed to capture the tiramisu flavor while still staying true to a coffee based drink. The staff was friendly and while there is seating inside, it might be tough to find a spot depending on what time of day it is and the weather. Luckily this place is in a great walking area, so you can easily grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try one of the many desserts.

First of all, these cannolis are huge, about three times bigger than a regular cannoli I have seen. Fresh crispy shell, not a hint of it being stale. The filling was rich, creamy and so flavorful. Perfect pairing for a black coffee to start the day. Ambiance 4/5 -There's no seating inside, I assume it gets crowded often and they want to keep the space efficient. Clean and full of options, would love to try their other pastries next time.

You can't visit Boston's North End without stopping for a cannoli at Mike's Pastry! This Boston…read moreinstitution was founded by Italian immigrant Michael Mercogliano in 1946 and has been serving its famous cannoli on Hanover Street ever since. And these aren't small cannoli! They have a huge selection of flavors, all generously stuffed with filling. The shop is incredibly popular, and we actually had to wait outside just to get in, but thankfully the line moved quickly. Our massive cannoli were 100% worth the wait. If you're looking for something sweet with a little Boston history mixed in, add Mike's to your North End itinerary!

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.

Ordering is simple (automated or in-person), and our food arrived in approximately 5 minutes (delivered to our table.) Pleasant music plays overhead, and the dining space is well lit. Four stars instead of five: Indoor dining space has been significantly reduced (at least 75% reduction) but there is ample outdoor seating. There is indoor seating for 8-10 people. We all agreed we would eat here in the future.

The battle of Bostons best cannoli, Mikes is definitely a contender! You've probably walked through…read moreBoston and noticed someone with their famous white and blue box. Their cannolis are definitely top notch. All of their flavors circling on the wall, so you know what you want by the time you get to the front. They also have other pastries too but I usually come for a cannoli. Florentine is my favorite (also more money). There's always a line down the sidewalk, and then more once you're inside. This location is cash only so beware. Is it Bostons best? I don't know, but it's really good.

I came across this location while we were looking for the açaí bowl place and headed back taking…read morethe North Station back to Back Bay. It was located inside another food hall called Hub Hall. If you want to try the cannolis at a non-crowded location, this is your best bet compared to the North End. Also, there's tables and chairs to sit and eat since it's a food hall. It was great cause there was a heat wave, and there's A/C. I'm sure that's also helpful in winter to keep warm. I had already been to the North End location twice, but this is better. Might not be the OG, but it still hits the spot. This time, I tried one of their featured cannolis - Dubai Chocolate. That flavor has been the craze for a year or so now. I definitely preferred this flavor over the hazelnut. I liked the pistachio one I had years ago, so I knew I would like this. Plus, it has chocolate. I liked that the shell was coated with chocolate. I could've added pistachios at each end because I asked and he offered, but I decided not to. I liked the little bits of kataifi in it with the pistachio and ricotta filling. I'm glad I had a fork to eat it after a few bites. I ate half since it can be really rich. The guy was really friendly and explained the other desserts they had like whoopie pies, brownies, cheesecake and raspberry jelly danish. My friend enjoyed the danish though the jelly can be really sweet. If that's your thing, I'd say go for it. I would've tried the cheesecake, but I still had the cannoli, and we were trying to head back before the 4th of July fireworks to walk to The Esplanade. Next time! So, if you want a more "low key" Mike's Pastry with excellent service, come here! Also, he gave us the food hall's restroom code before we purchased anything. Much appreciated since there's limited restrooms around Boston unless you're at a restaurant or near the Freedom Trail attractions/park where there's a visitor center.
