    Ricotta Cannoli
    Mike S.

    Went for dessert, line moved much quicker here. Touristy dessert spot in the North End. I had both Mike's & Modern. I preferred Modern. The Ricotta was fresh and tasty. So good.

    Every year I look forward to visiting Medford to friends/family n stopping at Modern for the amazing Lobster tail pastry. I always bring a few for the ladies living at Medford housing down the street. Last week I was in town earlier than expected- bffs dad of 102 passed on. I walked from up. The street to find out "only cash" so I had to walk back and return another day, so return I did as I love the lobster tail. After the funeral I brought a friend with me to treat her to the experience. After spending $35.00 my female friend needed to use the restroom, when asked she was informed that they do not have one. Now I'm not sure where the employees go or even was up but "By Law" Under Massachusetts state law, a business must allow a person to use their restroom if three or more employees are working at the time of the request. They also must allow access to people who suffer from certain medical conditions, such as Crohn's disease.Apr 18, 2018 This is the last visit to Modern for me n friends.

    The dessert treats we got tasted okay. We did the make your own cannoli. So we ordered a plain cannoli with traditional ricotta and pistachios. It tasted delicious. If I'm not mistaken this bakery bakes fresh daily! We also got the cream puff. I was disappointed in this one. The cream and the pastry part had no flavor- it was bland. Oh wells, at least their cannolis were good. It's definitely worth trying here! Line was long, but it moves along pretty fast! And it's CASH ONLY!

    Honestly I'm giving this a 4 star because they didn't really do much to go above and beyond, in the terms of comparing them to Mike's Pastry. If you're reading this, only commenting on their Canoli, beacuse that's most likely why you're coming here. The service was fast, friendly, and tasty. Fresh filled too!! Also, if you're wondering which to go to, just go to both.

    Good pastries. Pistachio macaroon are awesome. Come here regularly. This location is less crowded than north end.

    **Alegria Bowls - A Burst of Happiness in Every Bite!**…read more I used to walk by Alegria Bowls on Main Street and always wondered what the hype was about... and now, the only thing I regret is not going in sooner! "Alegria" means happiness in Portuguese, and let me tell you, that's exactly what this place delivers. Their specialty? **Acai Bowls** - straight from Brazil, these delicious bowls are packed with fresh ingredients, and you get to customize them exactly how you like! From acai to milkshakes and ice cream, everything is made fresh, and you can even add fun Brazilian treats like **Serenata de Amor** chocolate (a delightful caramel chocolate that adds the perfect touch to their ice cream ). I tried the **strawberry milkshake**, and it was absolutely *delicious* - super fresh, creamy, and worth every sip. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the quality and freshness of the ingredients make it totally worth it, in my opinion. **Food**: 9/10 **Pricing**: 6/10 (a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for!) **Ambiance**: 7/10 (fun, welcoming vibes with a bubbly font that adds to the charm) If you're craving something fresh, healthy, and oh-so-yummy, do yourself a favor and stop by Alegria Bowls! You won't regret it.

    One of the most fresh acai bowls Ive had in a while. I stopped by here looking for an acai bowl on…read morea warm day, and this place did not disappoint. While there are a ton of pre-made options, I was looking for a more simple bowl so opted to make my own. I got a bowl with strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and mango, and you could tell all the fruit was actually fresh. I also put granola and peanut butter in my bowl. Unlike most places, the peanut butter was drizzled on the top which was a nice surprise. My only suggestion would be to have an option of how much you want drizzled on top since it was a little heavy for my own preference (still delicious). The staff was friendly and even delivered your meal to your table. While there arent a ton of seats inside, we had no issues finding a place to sit, even with another family there. I would come back here and be open to trying other items on the menu as well.
