“Mike's Pastry is an iconic bakery originating out of Boston's North End neighborhood. They offer a variety of cookies and other baked goods, but they are especially known for their extensive selection cannoli. Mike's of course has the classic plain ricotta, but they also sell more unique cannoli such as amaretto, limoncello, and hazelnut. Moreover, there are some newer flavors such as pecan caramel, peanut butter, and mint chip. There is something for everyone. This Cambridge location is fairly new, but their baked goods are of the same high quality as the original location, but with slightly less inventory and without the obscenely long lines. My wife and I got some cannoli for breakfast and some cookies for the flight back home. They pipped our cannoli fresh. Not sure if that's a regular occurrence at this location, or if it's because I arrived close to opening. Regardless, it was delicious and our family/friends loved the cookies.“
“Such a cute little French patisserie. Would absolutely go back here. The tarts are to die for. My husband and I really enjoyed the chocolate and caramel tart it wasn’t too sweet or too heavy it was just right ! The passion fruit and raspberry tart is also notable:)“
“Fairly yummy. I had a pepperoni pastry; it's like an elegant pizza, but instead of using dough it uses a croissant pastry underneath. Unfortunately the pepperoni in the middle was cold; there should be a way to heat it up and make it taste more nice. The berry cream pastry was better; the cream could have been a bit lighter, but the berries were fresh and the flakiness of the pastry was on point.“
“I was excited to try this bakery, and it didn't disappoint! At Friday around 8am there was no line outside and plenty of items on display. I ordered the almond croissant, and wow was it was amazing. Buttery and flaky with a generous, even layer of frangipane throughout. I really appreciate how they make sure to fill even the ends of the almond croissant with a liberal amount of filling (oftentimes, I've found that bakeries only place filling towards the middle of the croissant). There's no seating inside, but there are some benches outside if you want to enjoy your pastries immediately. I recommend toasting them at home first - it was delicious warmed up!“
“This is a cozy little bakery in Newton. There are a good variety of pastries and cakes offered. You don't need to order cakes ahead of time, as there were several on display and available when we went. Staff were friendly, plenty of street (metered) parking. Decent prices and the things we tried were delicious. The cookies and cream cake looked good and tasted great. The lobster tail was of decent size and the cream filling was excellent and not overly sweet or bland. I'd come here again for cakes and pastries.“
“This is the ONLY place in Boston/Greater Boston where you can get the real french experience.I was born there and grew up there, this is exactly what you'll find in France. Meaning, it's light, tasty and delicate. These are fluffy.It's not like the american version (heavy, overly sweet, dense).The next best place (french bakery) is in Falmouth MA.The brioche was delicious, pain au chocolat, croissant, MERCI! I'll be back!“
“The desserts are excellent! I ordered on a delivery app and I tried the tiramisu cake, strawberry cream cake, and Oreo Mille cake which was especially good. The desserts are lighter and a bit less sweet than traditional American desserts which is really a nice change. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into making these desserts. So good, highly recommend.“
“I came across this business on the city of Quincy's list of local businesses open during the outbreak. I ordered some macarons for my fiance as a way to thank her for surviving one month (and counting!) indoors with me and our crazy dog. The macarons were great - a nice treat during a stressful time. The customer service was next level with quick responses to questions about inventory and pickup/delivery options. I will be a repeat customer.“
“If you like croissants this is the place for you. And they have big ones they have small ones they have apple ones they have Walnut ones they have all kinds of croissants and not only croissants but they have all kinds of pastries. But when I tell you these croissants taste like heaven has touched the earth I mean that. And the baker is in there is so kind and so sweet it's just a whole vibe. I came to find that they have several locations I only knew about the Watertown one but there are two other ones one in Belmont and I forget the other one nothing Google can't fix“
“There's a lot of hype around Lakon and I wasn't going to wait in line. Came around 3 pm on a Saturday and there was no line and several types of croissants left, I asked which the employee recommended and she said the crème brûlée. It was an investment for $8.50 although it was large. It looked great due to being completely covered with the shiny clear sugar shell that's on top of traditional brûlée (burnt sugar). It was stuffed with the crème and was so large and hard on the outside that it was not easy to take a bite of! I managed, and it was quite tasty but it was hard to really isolate the croissant itself and for that reason I'd recommend going with a more basic option ($4.50) Small shop with friendly employees.“
“I usually go to Cocoleaf in Dorchester, but this is closer to where I was that day. The staff were all nice and helpful, the Che were all very sweet for my tastes and the fruits were all canned fruits. I love their drink menu, but I think I still prefer the Dorchester location.“
“Very friendly bakery. No one spoke English and there were no labels on the case, so I asked for the only pastry I knew of - concha (thanks Great British Baking Show)! It was my first time trying a concha, so I have no bar to compare it to. Nonetheless, it was fresh and delicious and very affordable.“
“My daughter stopped in today on her way out of a drs appt. She brought home 2 perfect pistachio croissant and a box with 12 macaron. Everything was delicious. I don’t understand the limits! Her trip here must have been after noon time (1-2pm). They said one croissant per order, but since it was her and her bf they allowed them to purchase two. I understand not wanting to sell out at 8-9am and perhaps limiting, but all our money is the same! If someone gets there and waits in line and has money, sell to them! Mid afternoon limits seem silly. I’d think they would want the cases empty by closing time. I have waited 2 months to enjoy something from there. I hope to be able to purchase and try more, but we are an hour and a half away. I’d be so disappointed to go all that way and not be able to purchase a healthy size box/order. Please rethink the limit stuff!! Sincerely the best macaron and croissant I’ve had at 51 years of age! Can we order ahead and pay?“
“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“
