Mike's Pastry is the original cannoli spot here in Boston. There is a long line, but it goes quickly. There are a variety of cannoli flavors posted across the entire wall with various and unique options. I opted for the Pistachio, Florentine, and Oreo flavors going for $7 a pop. It's pricier at Mike's than Modern, but also the cannolis are bigger. I enjoyed all they have so much more variety of flavors, so allows for more creativity. Overall, Mike's and Modern are both just as good. If you like variety, come here. Plus, this is the OG location for cannolis. You can't go wrong with either option. If you come to Mike's, definitely try the florentine one though. This had such a nice carmelized, crunchy texture that you gotta eat right away.

Seems overpriced, a little inconvenient that it was cash only however, there is a bank with an ATM across the street. Cannolis were very sweet only was able to take a couple bites before it was too much very busy and crowded.

The cannolis were so amazing. I am usually not a big fan of them, but these were so tasty. There was a long line and the place was a little chaotic. With that being said, it moved fast and they were efficient with their crazy method.

Rude, not helpful, whatsoever. They were just in a hurry to get you in and out of there. The canole's are really big. They taste like any other canole, nothing special about it. I definitely will not be going again.

Not going to rate Service or Atmosphere because this is a takeout place, order at the counter and leave and make room for the next batch of people who want their cannoli to go.Now the cannolis here are to die for. I have never had any better anywhere and I tried. Little Italy in NYC can learn a thing or two from their northern neighbor. Yes they are expensive but worth every Penny. A few years back I had them mail ordered for my birthday all the way to Florida and even after 1000 miles they were still better than anything you would have been able to find locally.Have you ever thought about flying for 3 hours to go and get cannolis? Well, I have since 2016 several times, leave at 7am, get there at 10 and go to Mike's then take the 4pm back home.

Glorified donut shop. Terrible service. Do yourself a favor and go down the street to Bova's bakery instead. That is where the good pastries are!
I heard three old Italian women say "Aaaay tourist trap. Let's leave." I agree.

$21 in cash for 6 small cannoli and you can only choose 3 flavors including plain pistachio and chocolate chips. Not worth it.

One of the most famous places in Boston, located in the Italian neighborhood, where you can try the typical cannolis, it is important to know that you cannot pay by card and that there is no space to sit, the lines, depending on the time, reach the street, so it's better to go at non-peak times, lots of sweets of all kinds.
