    To go box
    Maria B.

    We came in here today for pastries to go, and there was an amazing selection of items. My favorite was the limoncello cannoli, but the Boston cream cake, and black and white cookie were also good. I definitely would like to try some of the other cannoli flavors too (an extensive cannoli menu). They keep the cannolis in the back, but you can see pictures and flavors on the wall menu. We didn't have a line around 2p on a Monday, but it got crowded after we walked in. It's cash only, so be prepared before you go there. Great place.

    Enjoyed my canoli a lot! The line moved very fast. If you are indecisive individual, please move to the side while you decide because there are a lot of parties and goodies to choose from. Also to make the line go faster as sometimes people need to catch their train. This is located inside the train station at the Hub, so there are a lot of places here to eat, but for desserts, Mike's Pastry is the one! The team members are great and friendly too!

    I know this is the canoli hot spot but neither my wife nor I are canoli fans. However we saw multiple people throughout the city carrying around these Mike's pastry boxes so we decided to check it out. The place was a mad house and like I said, I know most are going for the canoli, which flavors are posted at the top of the wall; however, due to a large crowd, we couldn't see what else they had so needed to make a split second decision based off what we could see when we got to the front. We ended up getting a piece of Boston Cream Pie and a whoopie pie. Neither of us have ever had BCP before so it was a decent first experience - i was wishing for a little more "cream" but the chocolate frosting on top was delish. The whoopie pie was barely mediocre BUT im also from Amish country and have high standards on those. A couple other things to note: It is CASH ONLY There was NO SEATING at the location we went to There are NO UNTENSILS so we ended up going to CVS and buying a box of forks and then indulging at a nearby park. I will say, for the big crowd, they did get you in and out pretty quickly.

    Mikes pastry is great. Cannolis aren't my first choice of dessert but theirs are delicious and huge. 7$ for one. Lines move quick and they have a great selection of items-way more than just canollis. No seating this is more of a to go spot. Iconic boston bakery.

    Pistachio and Chocolate Dipped with chocolate chips cannolis
    Alexsis A.

    Alright, if you love trying crowd pleasing bakeries....then is definitely a bakery you must cross off your list! I ordered the pistachio and chocolate dipped with chocolate chips cannolis. And boy did they NOT disappoint!!! The filling was creamy and the shell was absolutely deliciously sweet and crunchy. Ughhhhh....you have gotta try it! Heads-Up: There's a long line and they only accept cash! A little Hack: Stand in line and place a mobile order for pick up with UberEats (I did this and it totally worked).

    Walked in and was promptly greeted. I arrived around 10am and they had staff ready and eager to serve people. I am from out of town and this was a top recommended stop and it did not disappoint. I am guessing this is a pretty busy place. So many great choices along the way. Glad I had seen the pro-tip that they take CASH only. There were so many choices and everything looked amazing. They are famous for their cannolis and those too had endless possibilities and choices. I had the caramel pecan cannoli and it may be single handedly the best cannoli I have ever had. If you look at my picture I ate half of it before I remembered to take a photo. Added the vanilla cupcake and smore. Both were superb and the cupcake was fluffy and moist. They nailed the smore and the decadent marshmallow inside was freaking fantastic.

    Every time I visit Boston, I have to come and get 2 Florentine Cannolis, it is a must. They are absolutely delicious. Can I eat one in a sitting? absolutely not! But that means technically, I have 4 canolies. As for the service, you might get a salty auntie or some funny dad jokes type, uncle guys. Lines can get long, but they move quickly. And hey, it's all worth it in the end .See you next time folks.

    Chocolate chip cannoli
    Kelley B.

    Our first night in Boston, and we had to try Mike's for the cannolis. I ordered the chocolate chip and it was good. The service was average, but considering the long lines, it's understandable. The ambiance of the bakery gave off a true New England feel, making the experience even more authentic.

    Lauren S.

    Had to give this place a try while I was visiting the Boston area after seeing all the hype. We got the Florentine & Peanut Butter Cannolis and they were fabulous! The Florentine cannoli was super rich, I don't think I could've eaten the entire thing in one sitting. I Wish I could've tried more, the entire pastry case looked incredible. There was no line when I went after dinner and they had everything available. Would highly recommend checking out this location inside Hub Hall!!

    Variety of biscotti
    Gino T.

    Mama Mia! When in Boston you have to visit Mike's for Cannolo or Sphedelle AKA Lobster Tail. Organized chaos with a delizioso finish. Bring your patience and don't forget your cash (that's all they take) the line outside going inside is intimidating but moves quickly. The service is good-not alot of smiles when I was there but they do a great job taking care of you. The place is simple and is strictly a take out bakery, but the ambiance is interesting, definitely stay in line while waiting for your turn. The cannoli was delizioso as well as the sphedelle, biscotti was good and the pizzale just like my Nonna used to make. Located in the North End of Boston and definitely worth the time, actually I have never seen so many different flavors of cannoli. I prefer the original or traditional version that you find in Italy and in some places in the states and Mikes version is pretty good. Bravissimo Mike's Pastry keep it up, but maybe consider allowing the use of a credit card. With so many amazing choices it's hard to decide what to get so you tend to buy more and people don't carry that much cash in their pockets it's a good thing! Auguri

    Be prepared long lines and cash only, but worth it! Cannolis and the cookies were our favorite! A must try if you're in the area.

    Florentine / Nutella
    Chris V.

    Had to try Mike's at least once on my first trip to Boston so glad to swing by this convenient location in Hub Hall. Most likely going to be a shorter line here than the main spot. They were $7 each as of December 2024. Tried two flavors: Florentine (9/10) - Super tasty shell and filling Nutella (7/10) - Thought I would enjoy the Nutella filling more but I guess it didn't really hit for me in cannoli form

    Dubai Chocolate Canoli and Pecan Caramel Canoli
    Matthew L.

    Mike's Pastry is definitely a Boston classic, and while the downtown location had a massive line and only accepts cash, we were lucky to visit the Cambridge location, which was much quicker and more convenient. This place is super popular, and while the cannolis were good, they honestly tasted pretty similar to other solid cannolis I've had. That said, the variety of flavors is impressive, and the prices are very reasonable. We tried the pecan caramel cannoli, which was our favorite--packed with filling and great texture. The Dubai chocolate cannoli had potential, but the chocolate coating overpowered the pistachio flavor, which we were hoping to taste more of. All in all, a fun stop with solid desserts and good value--worth trying, especially if you can avoid the long lines.

Nowhere to sit, so another challenge. Good selection of croissants and croissant-adjacent items like caneles and pain swisse. Friendly staff; no pretension. My first visit in well over a year on a late weekday morning tried a troika of chocolate-themed items. -- Chocolate Croissant: Not warm (and I wouldn't expect that past 9am), but very fresh feel, very slight greasiness on the bottom, plenty of flakiness on top, and decent fluffiness inside. A good bite, yielding plenty of croissant shrapnel, a light but pleasant buttery taste, and just the right amount of chocolate. A winner. -- Pain Swisse: This varied from others I've had, not having the typical stringiness around the perimeter that feels like raw pasta to the bite, but that was a plus. The bigger noticeable divergence was a much-lighter-than-typical custard presence inside, deferring to the dominant, high quality dark chocolate. The dough around it had good flavor and a nice light crunch, so whether central casting Pain Swisse or not, this satisfied. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: An unusual rendition, with a dough darker than typical and also boasting some red tint hinting at red velvet. Soft, deliciously rich, and buttery, with the chocolate having a nice melt to it even late in the morning. Salt added some contrast without going overboard as some do. -- Coffee: High in temperature, acidity, viscosity, and flavor. A good match for their baked goods. Overall, still living up to the promise of the first visit, and taking some license with the classic recipes is fine by me with their high level of execution.

There's not really anywhere you can sit, so definitely just get what you want and go. The bakery itself is kept very simple and minimal. Sweets are displayed behind the glass, and there are plenty of signs along the wall that display what they have to offer. There were a lot of different goodies, but I noticed that people really only ordered the cannolis. I got a singular chocolate chip cannoli, and I think it really threw the person helping me off that I only got one to try. Pastries are packaged in a nice blue box and securely tied with a long string. The cannoli itself tasted pretty nice, but I wish there were more chocolate chips other than the ones that coated the areas of visible filling. I liked that the shell was crunchy and flaky. I can't say much because this was my first time having a cannoli, so I have no point of comparison. Not sure if I can eat a lot of it in one sitting.

    Doris & fuckin' Dixie... by far the best, most creative bakery in Boston!…read more Let me start with the history of Doris & Dixie.... (it's too cute to skip)... It's a southern bakery run by Rick Ryan, who started the company as an homage to his grandmothers who baked for him back in Oklahoma. He started the small business to keep the memories of his grandmothers' desserts alive; they were the ones, after all, that inspired him to enter the world of culinary arts. And thank fucking god they did... Because one time, I was at a party in Cambridge and won a raffle for twenty dollars at Doris & Dixie. Not knowing anything about the company, I emailed Rick to place an order, asking for a dozen cake balls and a dozen cookies. Seriously, what's better than sweet little balls of gourmet, unique cakes?? Low and behold, the man DRIVES TO MY APARTMENT to deliver the order (he's amazing...) presenting two dozen home-made cake balls and 14 cookies! Yum. Not only was the packaging adorable (he put the cake balls in an egg container, labeled with paper that says, "Here's your pickin's...") but each dessert blew my fucking mind. Rick made cake balls of Chipotle Chocolate, Chocolate Clove Rum, Strawberry Lemon Basil, Hibiscus, Red Velvet, Pomegranate, Bourbon, Carrot, Chocolate Mint, Lavender, Chocolate Basil, and Humingbird------ALL by hand and all from scratch. He made amazing cookies too: Chipotle, Mojito, Pecan, Gingerbread, Hazelnet, Blackberry, Basil.... Now THAT is some fuckin' Southern hospitality. If you're in Boston and hungry for original, incredible pastries- go no where else for dessert. Skip the gross chains (seriously, though, Finale's dessert tastes like overpriced garbage slopped on a cookie sheet) and check out Doris & Dixie. Nowhere else in town bakes pastries with so much heart and soul.
