    Dubai Chocolate Cannoli Chocolate Ricotta
    Madeleine G.

    I was so excited to try Mike's after moving to Boston and learning about the cannoli essential experience in the North End. The long line outside was a great sign and luckily it moved pretty quickly! They are cash only as well as Modern Pastry down the road. Be prepared to order and pay fast. The chocolate ricotta cannoli was absolutely divine and the best cannoli I ever had. The Dubai I thought was a bit overdone with the pistachio filling and it tasted more sugary than nutty imo. I will definitely be back again for the chocolate ricotta cannoli and try some more of the classic flavors!

    What can I say? The HYPE is real. I was there on a Monday, no wait. I got a regular canoli and ate it right out of the box. So fresh and yummy. Don't let a line deter you, it moves fast. Just go. That is all. Cash only.

    Florentine and Chocolate ricotta cannolis
    Liann A.

    Popular bakery in the North End for Cannolis and pastries, this is cash only. We came in on a Friday afternoon and there wasn't really a wait. We saw everyone walking around with their boxes and had to try their $9 cannolis. Our group was 4 adults and a toddler and we def ordered too much. We got a lobster tail and 4 cannolis, we would have definitely finished 2 cannolis amongst us and probably could have done without the lobster tail, it was something nice to try but they don't have napkins or seating and on a hot summer day, we tried to eat it standing and it was messy. The creams were really good and it was good fresh but it was quite sweet for me. We got the lobster tail which was a cream filled pastry and that had a lot of powder on top. For cannolis we got pistachio, lemon ricotta, chocolate ricotta, and Florentine. The Florentine cost a little more because it was a hard coated sugar crust. I preferred the lighter less sweet cannoli's like the lemon ricotta and pistachio. They were all good, but it was a lot for us, definitely shareable. The North End can get busy and it's an area full of restaurants, street parking is difficult. Service was efficient. More of a grab and go spot.

    Can order on Uber Eats and GrubHub
    Annalisa P.

    This location is the original, but there are now others. It tends to be crowded with about 6 or so long 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.

    Let me preface my review by saying that I am not a cannoli fan. I rather spend $8 on a different dessert, like a really good gelato. However, Mike's cannolis is an iconic Boston pastry shop that is a must-stop for first-time visitors. There are so many different flavors of cannolis. I got their blueberry mascarpone flavor and it was unique. All the cannolis are a bit too sweet for me (1 star off) and the other desserts do not look appealing (1 star off). Again, this is my opinion only. Note: Cash only.

    Amazing cannoli. If you are at Little Italy in North End, definitely give place a try. They also have a TON of other pastries other than cannoli, but cannoli is what this place is known for. The cannoli is a bit on the pricier end ($8 for one), but it is a rather large cannoli. Very tasty and satisfied my sweet craving for the day. Of note, this place is cash only.

    ****CASH ONLY*** We specifically 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.

    Came back again on another trip and had to stop by Mike's Pastry once again! Before you go, make sure you have cash (it is cash only). The inside is very simple - just a large area to order your pastries and go. It gets super busy in here and it's often filled with people waiting in line. The people behind the counter are quick to pack your order and are always friendly. The pastries have never disappointed. The Neapolitan was a very good, true pastry like the ones I get in New York. The icing is sweet, the layers were crunchy, and the filling was the perfect amount.

    Lobster Tail Cream Puff
    Alicia W.

    It was worth the 35 minute wait for a delicious lobster tail and cannoli but the standout was the ricotta cheese pie slice. Bring cash and patience as it's crowded and they have 3-4 lines moving at a time.

    Apple Turnover
    Brian T.

    Pastry store with lots of options and flavors! Cash only. When you walk in you can see cases of pastries and workers ready to take your order. The box it up for you and tie it up after asking if you want some powdered sugar to top on your pastries. The pistachio cannoli had great texture. First bite had all the pistachio pieces. The middle part was not too sweet with a slightly crisp crust wrapping it. The Boston cream slice was ok. Was not for me texture wise but did like the chocolate on top.

    Amaretto Cannoli and pistachio cannoli
    Jennifer R.

    When we were at Harvard we saw Mike's Pastry and I thought about stopping in to buy cannoli but I didn't because we were planning to go to Paul Revere's house in North End and this Mike's Pastry location is a couple of blocks away. If I had gone to the Harvard location I would have been in and out in 5-10 minutes. That was not the case at the North End location but in fairness it was Friday night and around the time people want dessert. The North End location had four lines from the counter to the door with the line out the door. They take cash only but while you wait you have plenty of time to decide on what you actually want to get. They have 10+ cannoli flavors plus many other pastries. We opted for a pistachio cannoli and a amaretto cannoli. The cannoli were twice the size of what I was anticipating so we split one on Friday and split the other on Saturday. If I went back I'd get the amaretto again. The pistachio was mostly ricotta tasting. If you go, go early and bring cash!

    Chocolate Ricotta Cannoli
    Laura P.

    Went again this time get the fueilltine cannoli. Best I've ever had and the lobster claw always a winner. We didn't like the cookie it as dry but will come back every time!!!

I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

Walking into a Tatte is like warm hug, it's a positive, welcoming, and bright environment to be in. All of the cafes are so aesthetically pleasing and get a lot of natural light. This location does have some indoor seating, but is a bit more limited than some of the other locations. They do have a lot of outdoor seating though. It's also a great area to walk around if you get your coffee and or pastry to go. It of course gets busy at peak times on weekends and morning during the week. Brunch is big at Tatte, and rightfully so. I don't think it's the best place to try to work, but you can bring a computer in do some work or study, but it can also get loud when there's lots of conversations being held. I've had great interactions with the staff at this location and even when it's busy, I haven't had to wait too long to get my order. I've been loving the pumpkin spice tahini latte this fall. Looking forward to my next stop in!

There are events on the lawn in the summer, such as movie night and flea markets. Would recommend more for ambience and location than the food.
