Get the Florentine cannoli if you like the burnt sugar taste. If you aren’t a big sweets person, I would not recommend it because it is very Carmeley and rich. I’m sure their classic cannolis are amazing because this place was packed! Keep your eyes peeled for an open person at the counter, otherwise you’ll wait forever! I got a box of cookies for my flight and they were perfect the whole day - didn’t go stale!

Pretty famous for their Cannolis and it didn’t disappoint with respect to that. We tried the most basic one - Ricotta cannoli - and it was probably the second best I’ve had (best so far is Alati in Montreal) till date. Quite fresh and tasty. The crust was quite thin, which is good. Having said that, the Boston Cream Pie was a bit let down. While it was great on the surface, the middle area was frozen and didn’t leave a good taste. Ambiance in the store is something amazing. Very crowded but was being managed in an orderly manner. The cashier in your queue will only entertain one customer at a time, so there is no confusion as to who is waiting to pick up or yet to order. It’s all cash - so make sure you have the cash enough for your order. Definitely to be tried but perhaps don’t buy in to the hype.

Awesome little pastry shop down in Boston. I can highly recommend the cannolis as they were delicious. Some things to note however, it was incredibly busy when we went and we spent somewhere around 45 minutes waiting in line. Once you get inside the line branches and there are several cashiers so inside is sort of just a crowd of people. Another important note, Mike's Pastry is CASH ONLY, but this does make the process all lot quicker. Overall though, despite the line the quality of product you are getting is absolutely top notch and if you're looking for some delicious dessert in Boston you should definitely check this place out.

Mike's Pastry has it all. Most famous for the cannolis, there are turnovers, pretzels, donuts, and cakes. IMPORTANT: Mike's is cash only. I ordered the Apple Turnover, Chocolate Chip Cannoli, and Peanut Butter Cup. The turnover is fantastic, with a perfect balance of apple and pastry, and was moist and not dry. I wasn't a fan of the cannoli, but to be fair, I don't like cannolis and was hoping this would change my mind. The peanut butter cup was excellent, and well worth it, assuming you have a drink to go with it. It's rich. When you're ready to order, just talk to one of the several ladies behind the counter. There's not an official line, just when someone is free, talk to them. This is a bustling pastry shop, and I would order here again.

TLDR: Cannolis are the best I’ve had. Cakes are rich, staff moves fast, and this deserves its reputation. They need to bring this to the West Coast. Review Visiting from Los Angeles, this was one of the best dessert stops of our trip. The pistachio cannoli and chocolate chip cannoli were outstanding, easily the highlight of all the desserts we tried. The rum cake and chocolate cake were also excellent and very rich. This North End shop is cash only, so come prepared. The line was about 20 minutes, but the staff kept it moving. Multiple lines make it easier if you know your order ahead of time. Regulars clearly do, but even as a first-time visitor, the staff was helpful and made good suggestions. We bought two giant cannolis, a third for a friend, and two cake slices. It was too much to finish, but everything was worth it. The cannolis are the star, but the cakes proved just as reliable. If I return to Boston, this will be a guaranteed stop. Pro tips • Bring cash for the main North End location. • Decide on your order before reaching the counter. • Cannolis first, but cakes are also worth it.
