I appreciate the dedication to their craft and care for each of their items. I thought the focaccia was tasty-definitely toast them up again for maximum tastes. The other item I got was the chocolate croissant which was just ok- could be a bit more airy. They have basically no seating or standing room inside. It is a grab and go type of place.

The cannolis are carried over from the other Mike's in North End. They may pipe them here but the special sauce all comes from the same place. The employees told us this. Part of their job is to bring them over. We came here twice after we learned this trick. Got some traditional filling. Went wild with DP: 2 fillings on either side. Strawberry and mint. That one with the extra fancy brown crust -- Florentine -- was amazing. Honeyed, syrupy and crunchy.

Here's what we got: 1) black and white cookie - sadly skip this! This was not a traditional black-and-white cookie. They used cake type icing. 2) rainbow layers - another one to skip. The jelly was overwhelming. This also did not have the traditional taste. 3) cannolis- get them all!! we got the pistachio and the raspberry one. Both were amazing! Note - they are a cash only store.

I tried a couple items and overall thought they were good, just not very sweet compared to what I was expecting. Everything felt fresh, just a bit more subtle in flavor than I personally prefer. Overall, a solid spot and convenient option in the North End, especially late at night. I'd stop by again if I was in the area.

There's nothing little about these pastries, and they are individually more than just a snack, but oh, my, goodness, delicious.

Paris Baguette is a bakery and café that combines French-inspired pastries with Korean bakery…read moreinfluences, offering a wide selection of breads, cakes, sandwiches, drinks, and desserts. We walked into a bright and modern space with display cases filled with different pastries and desserts, the kind of bakery that feels like a convenient stop for a quick coffee and pastry, but also works well when looking for a cake or something to bring for a celebration. The layout is clean and inviting, with the display case taking center stage and the seating area offering a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy your order. The pastries are the main reason we would visit. The croissants and baked goods have a light, flaky texture, and there is a good variety of options ranging from classic French-style pastries to more unique flavors. The strawberry cream items are a standout because the combination of soft pastry, fresh fruit, and cream feels balanced without being overly heavy, and the cakes are a popular choice, especially for birthdays, because they are decorated nicely and tend to have a lighter style of frosting compared to many traditional American cakes. Beyond desserts, Paris Baguette also has sandwiches and savory options that make it more than just a bakery stop. The chicken pesto sandwich is a good example of how the menu mixes café-style food with bakery items, and the coffee and drinks pair well with the pastries, making it easy to grab a seat and spend some time there rather than just picking something up. The experience can vary depending on how busy the location is. The ordering process is usually straightforward, but busy periods can make service feel slower, especially when there are a lot of pastry and cake orders happening at the same time. Since many items are prepared ahead, checking the freshness of certain pastries can make a difference depending on what you choose. Paris Baguette is a reliable bakery option for pastries, cakes, and casual café items. The biggest strengths are the variety, presentation, and lighter dessert style, and while consistency can depend on the location and timing, it is still a convenient choice when looking for a mix of sweet and savory bakery items in one place.

My friends picked out this birthday cake for me!…read more Blueberry Yogurt Cake: The visual design is fresh, elegant, and warm, just like the taste. This light purple color is so dreamy! The cake base is rather ordinary, but the blueberry yogurt cream has just the right amount of tartness, balanced by a touch of sweetness from the regular animal cream, while the strawberry pieces make the overall feel brighter. The "not too sweet" quality is truly exceptional.

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.

This location is the original, but there are now others. It tends to be crowded with about 6 or so…read morelong lines. It's probably because it's a block from the Freedom Trail near Paul Revere's house and popular Italian restaurants and shops. If you see people walking around with a white (multiple cannolis/desserts) or blue (single cannoli) box tied with string, you know you must be nearby a Mike's Pastry. Though the line gets long, it does move quickly, and there are periods where it's not so crowded inside. It's cash only at this location. I didn't think I'd be here that day and realized I didn't crab enough cash but saw the sign for Uber Eats and GrubHub pick up, so I just placed an order for pick up from my phone on Uber Eats. It took about 5 minutes when I got my cute blue box order. There is a Bank of America down the same street if you need to withdraw cash which I later did. I'm sure there's also ATMs nearby. I think it's easier and quicker to order through Uber Eats or GrubHub and pick up. I've been here once before about 12 years ago. I tried the pistachio cannoli that time and loved it. This time, I wanted to try a different flavor, so I got the hazelnut cannoli. It didn't have the nuts I was expecting from the photo on the wall. It didn't quite taste like hazelnut to me at all. I regretted not trying something else. I eventually did at Hub Hall (another food hall) connected to North Station. This location is a little more expensive by $1-2 for cannolis compared to the one in Hub Hall and sells other desserts like turnovers, donuts, croissants and sticks if you don't want a cannoli (but then why come here for anything else?) There's also nowhere to sit.
