I agree with the many reviews recommending the cannolis here. The cannoli I tried was great ($5.50…read morewith chocolate chips)---the ricotta filling was rich but not overly so, and the shell had the perfect texture---I preferred it to those at Mike's. I also liked the rainbow cookies, though the chocolate coating could have been better quality. However, I also tried several other desserts that weren't as good: -Tiramisu ($5) - pretty average. I liked that it had a strong coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. -Cassatine cake (I think $6.50?) - an individual portion of their Cassata cake. The marzipan, together with the ricotta filling, made it very very sweet. -Macaroons ($23/lb) - I tried an original almond amaretti, as well as one with pignoli and a pistachio macaroon. The texture was nice and light, but they were way too sweet. Of the three I liked the pistachio the most, but it was still very sweet. -Parigina Cake/Paragina Cake ($5) - I didn't like this. It's composed of puff pastry, sponge cake, and a thin layer of custard. I found the flavor to be uninteresting, mostly just very sweet. Cash only. If you visit, I recommend sticking to the cannolis (and being prepared for a sugar high).

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.

However, after seeing the menu, I'm not surprised why it was so busy. The staff is really friendly and patient, especially as many people would change their orders when they got to the front to order. On a busy day, it can be difficult to see the menu on the wall, and all other menus were near the cashier so made sense that orders were changing. I tried the toffee nut coffee and loved the subtle toffee flavor that added a hint of sweetness without being overpowering. There are many other coffee flavors that I cant wait to come back and try. While I didnt try any pastries this time, there were so many to choose from, and they all looked good. For me, Id likely be more inclined to get one of their many treats if a table is available, which can be tight give the size. However, their coffee is great and a nice place to grab a cup before heading out to explore the surrounding area.

Mayer snail and French waffle with cream and raspberry filling were also delicious. Was having a hard time debating whether I want marzipan cookies, so the owner was explaining how it would taste like, and decided on the spot to let us have one instead -- wasn't my favorite so I went for other items. But instead she additionally packed us a huge bag of regular cookies, for free. Since we just went for the pastry and didn't know the anything about the neighborhood, she even gave us tips on exploring the neighborhood -- Shannon beach turned out to be a lovely little place we enjoyed much :) Loved the cute little place, bakery and the whole experience! So far I've been having amazing experiences with Danish food and pastry place, now I definitely want to visit actual Denmark at some point

We had such a hard time choosing and settled on the walnut baklava roll and the muska kataifi pisatchio. Everyone working there was so friendly and helpful and even with a line out the door, they were able to keep things moving smoothly. They also gave us small chai samples while we waited to be helped (the chai was spicy and not overly sweet). The baklava and kataifi were perfect -- no notes. Baklava had a great ratio of flaky pastry layers to walnuts. Each bite had the right about of crunch and nuttiness. The amount of syrup used was just right also. Kataifi struck a similarly great balance: a crunchy and sweet shredded wheat exterior rounded out by the richness of pistachios. I wish I could come here all the time and try everything. Definitely keeping this place bookmarked for any future trips to Boston.

Harissa: Sweet but not overwhelming, fragrant yet not greasy, it was what traditional desserts supposed to be. And what I appreciate most is its muffin-like moist and smooth texture. Baklava Rolls / Walnut: Crispy on the outside, while sugary and nutty fragrant on the inside. The aroma of cinnamon and cardamom were mild and easy to accept. It kind of reminded me of the Almond Roca candy. To emphasize, the service was unexpectedly considerate. As a new customer, I simply asked the assistant for recommendations, and she offered me samples of 4 kinds of desserts and a cup of Yafa Chai Karak to try. Although it was hard to get accustomed to the spices, I still appreciate the kindness.
