Bring CASH! They don't take anything but cash, which was really frustrating. (Neither does Mike's Pastry down the street, but don't even bother going there.) The service was okay. The first server (before we had cash) was pretty dismissive, but the next cashier was nice. We got a pb cup, napoleon, eclair, and key lime tart. The tart was delicious! The pb cup was good too. Both the napoleon and eclair had good pastry and the custard filling was okay. However, the icing on both was not great. The napoleon in particular had a strangely flavored buttercream instead of the typical glaze, which I didn't appreciate. However, it's MUCH better than the pastry place down the street. If you're going for pastry on Hanover St, go here.

It was my first time there, I didn’t realize that it was a cash only policy. They have the sign up in the air near the ceiling. I’m not looking around like that. Yeah they were friendly but I didn’t appreciate one of the staff members cause I was trying to figure it out how to get cash. I was also asking about the prices and she seemed annoyed. I’m not even from around the area. Good food, okay service

We came from out of town to visit this iconic place. But on a holiday weekend with an Italian festival going on… the line wrapped around the building !! It took maybe a half an hour to wait. Really not bad. Everything was amazing. My husband was moaning over his first bite of the tiramisu cake. I have never loved cannolis so I only ordered a mini and I regret it. It was amazing and now I’m ruined for life for all other cannolis. The lobster tail- what do I even say. Huge, amazing, perfect sweetness to the filling. We went last night and obviously couldn’t finish everything. We’ll be enjoying these all week! Perfect start to our first visit here in Boston!

Sat here for 15 min and was never even looked at by the server. Table next to me was complaining that their food wasn't out too so I left.

Cannolis are fantastic. Just the right ratio of filling to pastry shell. All the other treats looked fantastic, too.

Great pastries, the cannolis were fabulous with a nice crispy shell which still held shape contributing to an excellent eating experience. The filling was smooth, creamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. The staff were fine, what you would expect from a busy shop in the area. Overall great spot, highly reco
Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York

Visited twice in our 5 day stay. Coffee drinks were good and affordable. Pastries were amazing. The lobster tail is HUGE!

This place is a bit small, crowded, and with long lines, but it's worth it. The service and pastries and drinks are great and they showed us great hospitality.

Best place I visited in Boston.
Long lines for a tourist trap
