【Mike’s Pastry｜A legend in the Italian dessert world in Boston】

#MayGoodPlaces2025 #Boston #Food When you come to the Italian area in the North End of Boston, you must not miss Mike’s Pastry. This dessert shop with a history of more than 70 years is a favorite of many tourists and locals. It is famous for its signature Cannoli (Italian puff pastry roll), which has almost become a synonym for dessert on the streets of the North End. I waited in line for about 15 minutes to buy a signature Cannoli. The crust is crispy with a slightly burnt aroma, and the filling is rich sweet cheese. The taste is smooth but not too sweet, and you can also eat fine chocolate chips and vanilla seeds, which is a perfect balance. Take the first bite, the crispy crust and the dense filling are intertwined in the mouth, making people can't help but take one bite after another. In addition to the classic original flavor, Mike’s Pastry also has a variety of flavors to choose from, such as chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, lemon and even seasonal creative flavors. The choices are so dazzling. In addition to Cannoli, the store also has traditional Italian desserts such as tiramisu, cheesecake, cream puffs, etc., all of which are mouth-watering. Although the store is not big, it is always bustling. You can often see tourists eating desserts while walking and feeling the lively atmosphere of the North End Block. The clerks are busy in and out, and their movements are quick and friendly, making the waiting time relaxed and enjoyable.
