Mike's Pastry - Bakeries Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Was so happy and surprised to see this bakery at this location. I never thought it's here too. I guess I don't go to assembly row that much. But it was a good thing. I've always wanted to try this bakery out but the one at the north end is always packed and the lines are ridiculous so I never went in there. When I saw this. I immediately told my bf to stop the car cause I wanna go inside and check it out. I got some espresso cannoli and pistachio too. And also the Black Forest cake which are all good! It was perfect, not too sweet but really tasty and light!! Now that I know there's this one in here I'll stop by whenever I can after school. Hopefully they don't close that early read more

I was excited walking in but left quite disturbed. I ordered an Almond Biscotti. The lady who helped me was very careless getting the biscuit. She used the little bakery sheet, but her bare hand touched the biscuit and because it was poorly wrapped the biscuit when placed on the counter, had direct contact with the counter. Cleanliness is a must. Also, my purchase order was $5 and the guy told me my total was $6.40. When I questioned him about the taxes and he changed my total to $5.35. I overheard the staff quote totals to a couple other patrons that didn't align with correct tax amounts. Disappointed. read more

July 3rd around 8:30pm. Visiting Boston, saw long lines at the Mike's in North End and had high hopes when we saw this none near our hotel. Lobster tails were so stale it was like munching on glass. 9 bucks down, lesson learned. read more

Literally so close to Encore Boston Harbor, I would say 5 mins driving. Right next to the MBTA. We did not wait too long, we ordered a few of their cannolis, tiramisu and blueberry muffin. Everything looked well stocked and service was super friendly. I found the blueberry muffin to be really tasty with a good amount of blueberry chunks. I have had better tiramisu before, it just lacked flavor for me. Cannolis was not too bad, good filling and crunch for the outer layer. Nothing was too sweet. read more

I don't know how I've missed this in all of our trips to Assembly! I love this location. It's comparably less hectic and busy. We have been a number of times and the quality is on point. The cannolis are fantastic and the cookies-by-the-pound are a perfect take-away treat. So glad there's another location! read more

So I'm from Seattle and this is my first Cannoli and I was sent to see Mike. You know he is the home of the Cannoli I'm told by his coffee cup. First off they have many colors and flavors to choose from and other goodies for you to enjoy. I first asked about Mikes coffee because if I get one more (I've only had one) cup of water with cream from Dunking Donuts I will die. So mikes coffee is rich and great flavor, as for the Cannoli I picked it was espresso. I'm not a sweets guy but had to order it since I'm here. I thought the inside was whipped cream it's not it's a heavy cream and folks these are NOT finger food you need a fork it's a job to eat. It's not too sweet and Mike has done a great job. I think for me it's not something I would eat at 8am again but after dinner. read more

You can never go wrong with Mike's pastry. It's really well known in Boston and I'm glad they finally opened another location here in assembly. I decided to get some dessert after a long day of shopping and this was the best decision. I've had their cannolis at their other locations, but I'm not a huge fan of them so I opted for their chocolate cake. As soon as I walked in, I had my eyes on it. They have a huge selection to choose from which is always a plus. The chocolate cake was a lot of chocolate hence the name but this could easily be a three person dessert. I shared it with my boyfriend and we both couldn't even finish and we LOVE desserts. I love the fact that this location has tables to sit down at while you can eat and catch up with friends unlike the other location in north end. read more

I've always loved Mikes and was pretty happy to find this location. There's always parking which is great. There's a garage next to it but it's free for a short time, we've never been there long enough to have to pay. Haven't tried many other things than cannoli since they're my favorite place that make them. read more

The cheesecake is fantastic! It sits on yellow cake instead of graham crackers and that makes it unique. I have never had cheesecake like that before and it was great. I have been here multiple times and stop in every time I visit Boston. On my last visit, the cheesecake had no yellow cake bottom. Not sure what changed but the cheesecake was not the same. I was really hope that was a fluke and they get back to making it how I had it the first few times I visited. Happy Hunting Yelpers!!! read more

The first time I tried Mike's was.. two days ago lol and now I'm back! Not because of the amazing food, but because there are so many more stores than I thought there were scattered around Boston. I decided to try the Boston Cream Pie (I know, super touristy of me), and I was not a fan. The cake was very mediocre, the cream filling was too sweet, and the chocolate frosting on the top tasted a little powdery and not of the best quality. I really wanted to love Mike's, especially after reading so many great things about it coming to Boston, but maybe this store just isn't for me. read more

There is little to no line at this Mike's Pastry, unlike the one in the North End. I got the red velvet cupcake, and the cream puff. The red velvet frosting to cupcake ratio was pretty even, it was a lot of frosting. It was a big cupcake, and it was also really really sweet, sweeter than I prefer. But it was good, I liked it. The cream puff was good as well, and pretty big too. read more

Yum. Beware tourist trap, bring cash, expect lines. Better than a couple Italian places I've been near by

This was my first time trying Mike's Pastry!! I think the lines at the North End location always made me not want to go... which is a good reason​ because those lines stretch on for miles!! I happened to be in the Assembly area and was craving cannolis. This particular location didn't have a line, phew! It was a weekday around 6:30 PM. The selection of sweets here aren't as big as the location in the North End, but it was still varied! We got the chocolate mousse cannoli, ricotta cannoli, and expresso cannoli. The worker packaged it in their signature rope-tied box expertly and quickly. Our total came out to be $15.50 for four cannolis. The ricotta cannoli was very big in portion!! I didn't really like how chunky the ricotta filling was- I would've preferred it to be smoother, but it was still pretty tasty! They didn't skimp on filling for this one- there was plenty! The chocolate mousse cannoli was my favorite out of the two, though the filling here was skimpy. It consisted of chocolate mousse sandwiched between ricotta filling. The finishing touches? Lots of chocolate chips sprinkled on both ends of the shell and a chocolate drizzle! Yum! There were so many textures happening at once and it made for a unique combination + experience. The shell wasn't as good as the ones we've had at Bova's Bakery in the North End, though. I'm glad I had a chance to experience Mike's Pastry! :- ) read more

The location in Assembly is very nice and clean, visited during Labor Day weekend and the line wasn't too bad. They did not have any social distancing reminders for guests, so inevitably people walked in to crowd around the counters. I got a tiramisu and a fudge brownie. I have been craving tiramisu and I was left dissatisfied. I know they are known for the cannolis, but I didn't expect their other pastries to lack this much flavor. It is layered with sponge cake instead of lady fingers, however it does not pick up much of the espresso/coffee. I have had better at food chains. If you visit the North End, walk over to Bova's Bakery! The fudge brownie was ehh. read more

Sunday 2/25- Lady serving us was very unfriendly and would not make chocolate dipped cannolis as she didn't feel like making melted chocolate. Told another employee to not serve any chocolate dipped as they didn't want to clean the machine. read more

Mike's Pastry is famous in Boston and a must stop if you are in the area. They are usually crowded but the line does move. They have everything sweet you could want and all the perfect deserts for any holiday. They even have Cannoli Cupcakes and they are the best I have ever had in my life. The service is super friendly, their coffee good and everything is perfect and fresh. It is all made there. You will be in heaven, just heaven. read more

I was visiting Boston for a few days and heard about this Bakery and wanted to try it out. Went on a Friday night right before they were closing, and it was still busy. Even though they were about to close they still had an amazing selection. I bought like 15 different things, and they were all amazing. I was also extremely happy with the prices, everything was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Mike's Pastry to everyone, and I can't wait to go back. read more

I love the North End for the atmosphere, but this location has a LOT going for it. Parking is much easier (but no longer free like it used to be a few years ago). They take credit cards, so that's an improvement! There seems to be more selection here (is that even possible?!) and less rush. The interior is nicely modern and it looks like you can even order cake - who wants to brag that they have a Mike's Pastry cake... ("Sorry Aunt Marge that you missed the party- it was a MIKES PASTRY cake!" "Oh dear me...") So, if you're wondering if you should go, just go. I can't imagine you regretting it! And maybe bring some home (in a cute box tied with string) to Aunt Marge while you're at it! read more

Not quite as great as the original, but a nice place to get some iconic Italian pastries if you're in the area. Unlike the North End location, they don't fill the cannolis to order, but the cannoli I enjoyed here did not suffer from being pre-filled. As always, it has a good balance of sweetness and the shell is nice and crispy. Still one of my favorite cannolis in the city, even with all the hype. Besides a huge selection of cannolis, they also have a number of other pastries, cookies, and cakes. I especially liked the chocolate mousse cake, which was somehow light and rich at the same time. I could eat it all day! There's not a ton of seating, but at least there's more seating and less crowds than the original location. read more

Holy cannoli! I had heard these were the best around, and they were right! We ordered 4 cannolis because we didn't know how big they would be. It was a lot of food! The place is always crowded, but we discovered that although the line is out the door, service is fairly fast. I like that they have a lot of different flavors to try. This is a place that you need to visit if you're ever in Boston! read more

A MUST DO! FANTASTIC CANNOLIS & ITALIAN PASTRIES THAT ARE DELICIOUSSSSSSSS!!!! If you want to avoid the Wall to Wall people in The North End Boston then come here. This location is located in Assembly in Somerville right across from the train station. It's smaller than the Boston location & more relaxed. They have most of the popular pastries here that are in the Boston store. They have BIGGGGG CANNOLIS! They're Rum Squares are Great too! They also have Cappuccino & different kinds of Italian coffee! You can get them to go or sit down @ the tables & have your pastries. You have to fight to get a table in the Boston location. LOL! It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

It is a popular Italian bakery in North End that features awesome cannolis. They have many flavors to choose from. I ordered the amaretto cannoli and it was amazing. It was definitely one of the best cannolis I have ever eaten. I also loved the hazelnut cannoli. The pistachio and oreo flavors were good but the former flavors were better. Besides the cannoli, I have also ordered the Nutella cheesecake. It was average. It was thick and solid unlike the best cheesecakes I have eaten that are smooth, almost like mousse. If you are visiting and planning a trip to Boston and looking for recommendations (especially food), feel free to message me for my itinerary. You can also find the electronic copy through the link my profile. read more

I was super excited to try this location after years of positive experiences with the north end location. Unfortunately, the taste here is much different than the north end location. Both my mom and I had a traditional cannoli with pistachios and a cappuccino. The cannoli shell was greasy and had a strong oil flavor and The ricotta cheese was not as fresh as I remember from the north end location. On a positive note, this location is far less crowded than the north end. We were actually able to sit and enjoy our cannoli in the bakery. I'm hoping this was a one time incident as this location is more convenient and has more parking. read more

I struggled giving four stars to this location because the peanut butter cup ($2.50) was just so awful that, were I to review Mike's on this item alone, it should probably get three stars. And yet three stars wouldn't properly convey how good the other pastries are, like the eclair or the cannoli (both of which my friends loved). So, here we are. All I can say is that you should NOT get the peanut butter cup. It may have been naiveness on my part but I fully expected it taste like a Reese's peanut butter cup... and it didn't. At all. The chocolate was rock hard, and the inside was just peanut butter. The peanut butter and chocolate weren't wed together to form that delicious harmony; it felt like I was eating a bite of chocolate, and then a separate spoonful of peanut butter. Just yuck. On the plus side, the people are nice and they do accept credit card! read more

This recent location of Mike's Pastry is pretty consistent with the North End and Harvard Square locations, but without the crowds and with lots of retail shopping nearby. No gelato though.

Somerville location is finally open!! It's located below Partner's new building in Assembly Row by the Assembly Row T stop! I believe it opened Thursday 4/20/17. Its pretty neat inside and there were like a 2 person table and another small table. It is sort of small so once this location becomes more noticeable, it will get pack quickly! I think they have pretty much everything the North End location has or at least their "main" pastries. They also have teas and coffees. The carrot cupcake was BOMB!! Moist and lovely. The peanut butter cupcake was OK. Hoping to try all of their goodies since I work in the area! read more

I live in Assembly row and the last couple of visits I received stale cupcakes and black/white cookies - to the point I was unable to eat them because they tasted so dry and stale. After the third time of receiving stale desserts, I stopped going to Mike's. They charge $4-5 for a dessert (more expensive than Georgetown Cupcakes) yet they will give you stale desserts that are not freshly baked. Beware! read more

I've been to the original location, but since this one opened up down the street from me I had to check it out. The rainbow cookies are out of this world. I am also absolutely in love with the carrot cake cupcake. Honorable mention to the black and white cookie if you're into classic pastries. We decided to get a Lobster Tail too. It was a little hard on the outside but the filling was insane. The whole thing feels like it weighs ten pounds! The staff is really nice and they accept cards now as well. read more

With the two Mike's Pastry locations in Cambridge and the North End, I am so excited that there is finally a location in Somerville. There is a row of street parking available directly outside the store and a parking lot near the location. I stopped in and there was an abundance of cannolis, pastries and desserts. I was impressed with the selection; however, the cannoli was average, the customer service is alright. The cannolis come in around $4 each. I would stop by again in the event that I am in the area. I purchased two cannolis with the intention of saving one for the next day. It was soggy so I would strongly advise eating the cannolis the day of purchase read more

I thought I didn't like cannolis until I moved to Boston 21 years ago and my sister bought me a chocolate covered Mike's cannoli in the North end filled with ricotta cream. My dessert world changed. Since then, any foray close to the North End included a cannoli run, but it was challenging with no parking, cash only, and luckily for my waist line an infrequent treat. Then Mike's came to Harvard Square. Still cash only, but way more accessible. And then they opened in Assembly Square--where my husband works. And they started accepting credit cards. I made 5 cannoli runs in 3 weeks because of visiting guests. I also asked the counter staff at all 3 locations what their favorite cannoli is and heard every time the florentine. I have been a consistent chocolate covered with an occasional hazelnut amaretto or peanut butter (nutella one was disappointing because didn't really taste like nutella). Wow. The florentine now rivals the chocolate covered. It's a little strange location (in Partners building)--really easy for Partners employees, out of the way for the normal crowd that shops. But worth the little extra walk for dessert! read more

The best there is! Love the oreo canolli, service is always quick and efficient, will absolutely be coming back
