A Boston must - great variety of fresh Italian pastries. Lots of options. Fun and lively pick and go environment. Killer cannolis and imaginative combinations.

The reputation is deserved. I especially enjoyed the incredible peanut butter brownie and carrot cake slice that I ordered, but I can't imagine you'd go wrong with any other item from the case that catches your eye.

There is no seating, literally, not a single table or chair for customers in the whole building, not one. Don't even bother if you want to enjoy your pastry's there, you will have to stand and eat them. So walked a few doors down to Modern Pastry, they had great coffee drinks and basically the same pastries with seating and table service. About 40 people at Modern Pastry tonight, 2 people in Mike's, and they we kneeling on the ground eating their pastries. We saw them kneeling and we were like, nope.. I Like Mike's but with no seating in the building, this location is no longer worthy of my biz.

I understand that there are always lots of people but hope that there should be proper line or queue. Yes, there is line before you walk in the store but once you get in, it seems like you just walk right up to the counter and order. It ended up that I waited in line for nothing.
Can’t deny that the pastry there is good but with the service and unorganized, I have to think before go back there again.
Best cannoli of Boston? Most likely could be. I got 6 back to Seattle and enjoyed every piece of it! They have tons of flavors but I prefer the classic one.

Mike's Pastry is a gem! No matter when you go, it's always buzzing with people. Their selection is amazing! We tried their croissants, and wow, they did not disappoint. But honestly, everything looked so good, I wish I could've tried it all. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-try.

Went to Boston after so many years, and one of my co-workers recommended Mike's pastry as a canoli destination. Went there at 7 pm, and the line was around the corner however, it was moving pretty fast. The inside of the shop looks extremely dated. I understand wanting to preserve the old school charm, but you can do that in much more tasteful manner. In fact, this place seriously lacks any charm as everything was in white and blue, like the Oia, Santorini village. It looked like a basic pastry shop from a third world country. I noticed even before I got in that their pastries are quite big, and in my mind that was not a promising sign. Anyway, I ended up buying 2 canolis, nutela and hazelnut. Nutela canoli did not taste of nutela AT ALL. Hazelnut tasted just a tiny bit of hazelnut. Pastries are hard (real canoli shell should not give you fear that you might break your tooth when you bite into it), the filling was blah, and the overall experience was extremely underwhelming. Needless to say- I will not be back. After eating real canoli in Rome, Italy, this tasted like garbage. Now I'm sitting here very disappointed, scratching my head as to why this place is so hyped up. Maybe because people don't actually know how a real canoli is supposed to taste like...

Great food, literally everything is good here. The only bad part is how popular this place is. The line to wait is very long, they help the people pretty fast but there will be that one person making a life or death decision that will hold the line for a good minute.
Come with enough time!
Btw there is no sitting space so this is a take out place

Cannolis and boston cream pie were not great for the price.
They are only interested in making money from customers. the staff really rude. overpriced nothing to do with italian sweets. I don't recommend it, there are better shops nearby that have space to sit and you have a cafe.

Cannoli’s were alright. They were definitely good, but I wouldn’t say they were outstanding in comparison to others. Service was rude I was asking the woman helping me if they had a specific item that my boyfriend wanted (we weren’t sure of the name) and she just looked at me and said “you have a weird boyfriend”. Just an odd interaction with someone. No smiles. Not nice… but they move quick and get people in and out. The inside is very underwhelming but I’m assuming they have it setup that way to accommodate the crowds.
Overall, not really worth the hype. Cash only. ATM across the street if needed. I can say I tried it, but I don’t need to go back.

My first time in Boston. As I was heading to enter my Amtrak ride, I saw few people with this beautiful rectangular white and blue box and I said to my self why not. I am not a big pastry person but after tasting the cheese cake with strawberry and the peanut butter brownie. The brownie was the best. It wasn’t sweet just the way I like my pastry. I will definitely be stopping by to get more. Please stop by to get your own experience. PS. I do not have pictures of the pastry’s. 😋

Loved this place! The cannolis are delicious I came here 3 times in 5 days - highly recommend the nutella, peanut butter or oreo cannolis though I’m sure they’re all really good. This place is cash only (i think they have an atm inside) and can get super busy but it is worth the wait
