My dad and I were in absolute awe of the lobster tail! It was so light, yet had the perfect amount of sweetness. I’ll be reminiscing about this place when I’m back home. Thank you, Modern Pastry! 🍰🥧🧁

The canolis here are..the..best.. the crisp outside and flavourful filling-- so worth coming -- cash only, which limits how much or how many things you can buy especially as everythings a bit pricey

Best cannolis EVER

I don’t know who makes their cookies but they are terrible, they appear to be factory made and the kind that you can get in any supermarket. Totally disappointed.

Modern Pastry is Boston's best for cannoli and freshly baked Italian pastries. The connoli shells are baked in advance (daily) but they aren't filled until the moment you order them amazing, and they are ridiculously delicious! Modern has been here for more than 50 years. Mike's Pastry, located on the opposite side you may be better known for tourists, but Modern is the place where the locals go! 100%recommend!

The preferred canoli experience for my family & I A delicate shell, stuffed with luscious ricotta filling - rich & creamy without being overwhelming.

It is a bakery with every Italian American dessert you can think of! They do accept cards and cash. They have both to go orders or you can seat down, order a pastry and some coffee and relax. To go orders come in a box and you go to the back to place your order. My mission was to try the cannoli and sunce they do sell minis with no minimum I got the original one with ricotta filling and chocolate chips, it was delish!
A good stop to get that sugar craving gone!

Oh my God the Cannoli's are delicious!Just enough sweetness but not over powering like some I have tasted. Customer service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend!

We came with one mission and that was for the cannolis. Modern Pastry Shop delivered, crisply, sweetly, and with just the right amount of powdered sugar chaos.
This bakery feels like an Italian tradition. I loved it the moment I stepped in! The display window boasts trophies, vintage photos, and branded merch, hinting at a legacy of excellence. But it’s the dessert case that truly steals the show, rows of chocolate-dipped cannoli, glossy cupcakes, and pastries so artfully arranged they practically beg for a photo op.
We grabbed a pair of cannolis and settled into their seated section with espressos in hand. It’s a cozy nook tucked away from the bustle, perfect for savoring each bite. The cannoli shell was crisp and golden, the filling rich and velvety, and the chocolate-dipped ends added a decadent finish. The almonds were a nice touch as well.
Beyond the sweets, the shop doubles as a gourmet market, with shelves of pasta, olive oil, and imported snacks.
Service was quick and friendly, even with a steady stream of customers. Modern Pastry was a great play’s to grab a classic cannoli, a strong espresso, and a seat to enjoy them both.
Love when a place fills cannoli to order! They have lots of options, so there’s something for everyone. There will be a line but it moves quickly. Also, if you plan to stop in, they are cash only.

We had heard about this place and wanted to come there to check it out. There are two parts of the bakery, the take out portion and then a small seating area for dining in. We decided to dine in and had americanos and cannolis. They do have a gluten free cannoli which was delicious! The coffee and cannolis were excellent, and we were happy to have the experience at Modern Pastry! It is a cash only place, as an added piece of info.

One of my Favorites for a cannoli and cappuccino. Cannoli’s are filled to order.
