Absolutely the best cannoli I have ever had! I needed to go twice! The competition doesn’t hold a candle. Mike’s cannoli has a perfectly flaky shell with a light and creamy filling. Chocolate chip and pistachio were amazing!!

This place is busy, but the queues do move fairly quickly! Wide choice of pastries and I reckon my choices, which were the Boston Cream Donut and Mint Choc Cannoli. The donut, was so light and airy and not too heavy. Perfect boost for a day of walking the Freedom Trail

It’s been 12 years since I was here last, and it was even better than I remembered! We did the chocolate chip, pistachio, and amaretto and they were all SO good. Especially the amaretto. We ordered a traditional chocolate chip cannoli from Modern Pastry to do a comparison and Mikes was so much better, even the next day.

We’ve been going here for years. Long lines but it moves pretty fast. Cash only. Friendly staff. Lots of pastries to choose from, but it is hard to see the counter because of the lines. The glass cases can get quite a bit of condensation so that makes it challenging to see what’s in it. Cannoli flavors are listed on top. I usually get the plain cannoli. It’s filled fresh. Still tasty. We also get the macaroons. Those were really sweet. All in all, it’s worth a try if you’re in the area.

“…and your tongue is in heaven.” This is what I overheard someone say when they were leaving Mike’s Pastry. Based on this conversation, I had to go inside. I only got 1 item which was the lemon turnover. I am going back after dinner tonight.

My first time in Boston and the cannoli hype is REAL! Waited in line, got pistachio and Dubai chocolate flavors, and OMG, it was an amazing experience! Definitely coming back next time I'm in town!

The reputation is not a lie. The cannoli was absolutely delicious. So many flavours to choose from. I kept it simple. Traditional and florentine. $7 each, given the size, I think that was reasonable. They did so much more and it all looked totally scrumptious. Go check it out.
