Best donut i ever had. If I'm in Boston at night, I'm going straight there. Line gets long though.read more

I tried this place a while ago. Compared to most other places, these donuts are mediocre at best. I…read morewouldn't waste my time with this place with the bad hours and line of belligerently intoxicated people you need to get through to get your order unless you're already there at that time and also intoxicated. What's worse is that they won't stop sending emails to you if you order from them online. they take your email from toast tab and market to you, so be careful of that when you order online from them. You need to ask toast tab to take you off a list, but it doesn't work. They will keep sending emails.

Stephanie Cmar of Top Chef and No. 9 Park recently launched a new Pop-up shop for weekend donuts at…read moreThe Butcher Shop in the south end. It's open from 9-11am or until they sell out. Visit quickly because I believe it ends on March 9th. Having received literally one of the last donuts of the weekend I could not have been more thrilled. I didn't even get a complete donut - they had run out of the Bavarian cream filling. But the donut was light, yeasty, and delicious. The chocolate frosting was so rich! I cannot wait to get there even earlier next weekend! Also, as someone that gets starstruck a little too easily it was really awesome to see Stephanie in person slinging her donuts. I wish her nothing but the best - well and quick funding for her own brick and mortar.

If you come here on a regular day, this place is a zoo. Tons of people, but the lines do move…read morequickly. If you want a cannoli, a picture menu is on the walls. I know there is a competition between Mike's and Modern about who has the best pastries, but Mike wins if you want flavored cannolis. Any flavor you can think of is posted on the walls. I tried the butter pecan and the Dubai chocolate, but I was blown over by the Dubai chocolate. My wife also prefers the macaroons and other cookies at Mike's. Cash only, but the prices are good. Mike's goes crazy with the string when they tie up the boxes...I guess that's a Boston thing. We came back on a rainy day and were able to order right away. This place is worth a visit.

****CASH ONLY*** We…read morespecifically came to this place for breakfast, and had to leave as they only take cash. We came back the next day and ordered cannoli, neopolitan, and butter cookies. The people at the counter were not very friendly. The desserts were good, the cannoli was delicious with a smooth, silky filling and chocolate chips.

"Bill, ya gotta go to Bova's for their Florentine cannoli!"…read moreAndie E, what a great tip! I have been to Florence Italy, and I've never heard of a Florentine cannoli before. What a fantastic treat! I've been to Bova's bakery in the past. It wasn't on my radar during this trip to stop but when the Florentine cannoli was mentioned, I changed all my plans to try this cannoli. As luck would have it there was a parking spot almost across the street. I walked inside with one person in front of me. The display case has the all the freshly made cannoli front and center. How do you choose only one? I asked the counter person for a Florentine cannoli and a piece of apple strudel to go. I was out the door in five minutes, hooray! Once I got back to my hotel, I had to take a picture of this incredible pastry. First bite and I get the taste of lace cookie compared to what we're all used to, a crunchy shell. The lace cookie shell is incredible, it's firing off all senses. The cannoli cream is fantastic! Overall, this is a 10 out of 10 pastry. Forget those two large pastry shops with long lines, Bova's Bakery is a must stop when visiting Boston. If it's your first time trying a Florentine cannoli, Bova's Bakery makes the best on the north end. You're welcome.

I'm sure this place doesn't need any more publicity, as the line is always around the block! If you…read morehappen to be in the neighborhood on one of the less busy days, it's definitely worth a stop. We tried the rum cake, which was a bit too sweet for me personally but still tasty, and the steak and cheese rice ball. The rice ball was amazing!!! Filled with so much shaved steak, lots of cheese, and it came with really tasty marinara. Took a few minutes to warm up, but definitely worth the wait. I wish I could go back for another right now as I reflect truly delightful.

I even tried just a bit of the actual doughnut without the ganache and it had no flavour at all. The chocolate ganache was decent but the doughnut was dry and had an oily taste and smell.

Their gluten free (gf)/dairy free (df) donuts are also really good and actually preferred by many members of my family, as they are so moist and melt in your mouth. There are many options to choose from, along with monthly specials which are usually fun! Some of my favorites include their Boston cream, gf/df chocolate frosted, and their holiday themed donuts. My husband loves their gf/df glazed donut. Another big hit is their ginormous cinnamon roll! It's so flavorful and feeds many with its size. Their muffins are a huge hit and barely last in our house. Their bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel is also pretty good. My husband is picky about coffee and doesn't mind theirs. Sometimes they have cupcakes available and they are so moist, full of flavor, and one of my absolute favorite things to get. The staff is usually friendly, but there are some staff that aren't as friendly as others. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available, however it is pretty small and when the line is long it comes close to the tables.
