This is a great hidden gem with locations in both Cambridge and Lexington. The cakes and pastries are delectable and are just as good as places like Mike's Pastry or Modern pastry in the North End if not better! Pricewise this place is pretty inflation-proof too. My now husband and I picked up a cake and pastries for our at-home reception after our wedding and all of our friends and family raved about how good dessert was. Furthermore service was good and the workers were super friendly and helpful. All in all, if your looking for North End quality pastry or even pizza and other goodies without the craziness I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed! ?

Great baked goods, amazing prices, and great service too! The lobster tail was phenomenal, I loved the eclair and the jam filled cookies were too delicious to just eat one!

Great Italian-American pastries for an amazing price, and definitely beats trekking over the river to stand in line in the North End.

Much cheaper than other popular pastry shops. Variety of cannolis is limited to 4 choices (original, yellow, chocolate, or mousse) but I like how they fill the shells during order. I enjoyed the flavor and lack of overpowering sweetness. Would go back to try other pastries.

Went with my family to get pastries and I was very disappointed with the quality. First it seemed as if they were sitting there for days and the strawberries were black and mushy. The service was not the best it felt like they didn’t even want us there. Think the health department needs to inspect. Spent $13, they’re all of it away.

Charming, small, lots of selection. Excellent piza slice and spinach and cheese pie/danish.

Hands down, best cannoli in Boston area/Cambridge! Made fresh and with the best cannoli filling I've ever had. They also make a variety of cookies/pastries, really good pizzas, hefty ham & cheese croissants, tasty spinach & cheese croissants and so much more!

This might be the best ricotta cannoli I’ve ever had. I would love to try again. Next time I’ll grab a black and white too. Calzones were delicious. I just tried the meatball and the chicken one this time.

Secretly holds some of the best cannoli in town. Dare I say, it comes second to Modern's? Yup! Modern's > Royal's > Bova's > Mike's.Oh, but this little bakery has THE BEST Boston creme pie of all of Greater Boston. Unparalleled, hands down. This is one of my all time favorite pastries shop. Another neighborhood gem ? ✨️ ?

Was walking by with my wife considering purchasing something but you can see a mouse running around on the floor behind the counter. Eww. Skip this place until they fix their health code issues.

We always get my mom a birthday cake here every year, and it's always great. Friendly service and wonderful pastries.
