Iconic bakery for cannoli, lobster tails, and Italian pastries
"The subject of one of Boston’s fiercest food debates is cannoli. In the eyes of locals, Mike’s Pastry may or may not win out all the time — you’ll get a different answer from every person you ask — but it’s been a destination for tourists and Bostonians for decades, and there’s something about that tied-up white box that always triggers a cannoli craving." - Erika Adams
"One of the North End's two cannoli touchstones recommended for a cannoli taste test; a high-energy bakery destination for classic Italian-American pastries and tourist-favorite desserts." - Erika Adams
"In addition to churning out massive numbers of cannoli, Mike’s also offers a creamy ricotta pie, served by the slice or as a whole pie available to order. Plan ahead if you want to order a full pie, as it can often be sold out." - Celina Colby
"Available as a whole cake or by the slice, Mike’s straight-forward take on the classic has two layers of moist white cake sandwiching pastry cream, with the whole thing topped with rich chocolate fudge." - Tanya Edwards
"It’s tough to go wrong with a pastry or cannoli from Mike’s. But you really should get the cannoli and a lobster tail (for the unfamiliar, a pastry that resembles the crustacean, filled with sweet cheese), whether you’re visiting for the weekend or just walking across town for a sweet treat." - Tanya Edwards
