"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
"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 a cream and fresh ricotta cheese), whether you’re visiting for the weekend or just walking across town for a sweet treat." - Tanya Edwards
"This well-known pastry shop is cited as another spot in Boston where visitors can find a superior version of the Boston cream pie, available both by the slice and as an entire pie/cake." - Tanya Edwards
