Modern Pastry Shop is a well-loved destination for authentic Italian pastries and desserts. The shop offers a variety of treats, including almond biscotti, cannoli, cupcakes, macarons, and the famous lobster tail, all made fresh in-house. Customers often praise the crispy cannoli shells, which are baked daily and filled only when ordered, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor. The lobster tail is described as light and perfectly sweet, leaving a lasting impression. The shop's cannoli are considered the best, with a crisp outside and flavorful filling that is worth the price, though it is cash only and can be a bit pricey. Despite occasional long lines, many find it worth the wait, especially since they can sit inside to enjoy their desserts and chat. Modern Pastry is known for its scrumptious and moist version of the Hostess cupcake, which receives high praise. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike, often visited after walking along the Boston Freedom Trail. With over 50 years of history, Modern Pastry remains a top choice for those seeking delicious Italian treats in the city.
