Modern Pastry Shop

I've been lucky enough to stop in here a few times over the years when I'm in town. It's is a reliable as the bedrock the North End is built on. This is hands down some old school Italian pastries and cookies. You could throw a dart blindfolded here, and hit something delicious. I brought back $160 worth of stuff to New York last weekend, and no one was disappointed. Cannoli's, just do it. Cupcakes were insane, the "Hostess" is a time machine, the Peanut Butter and Chocolate had light cake, and sweet, dense frosting without being cloying. The Boston Cream cupcake was also light and balanced, a great interpretation of a classic. Cake slices, the Napoleon was sturdy and crunchy. As with everything we had, it well balanced in terms of the right level of sweetness. Chocolate Mousse cake was just crazy good. Cookies - get yourself some mixed butter cookies, there are some old school varieties in here that you just don't find out in the wild anymore. The pistachio macaroons are worth all the hype, and the price. An incredible texture and flavor. The French Macaroons are also worth every cent. The sprinkled birthday cake and peanut butter ones were the favorites. Thanks for setting us up with some amazing tree trimming treats.

This place right here all I have to say is come visit, this place is where it's happening. They have great staff the staff are nice, they greet you with a smile and they want to help you. Things are fresh here the only thing that I was disappointed about is that they didn't have a Boston pie here they had a Boston cupcake but I went on and received it and ate it and it was super good but I was still disappointed because I wanted to taste the pie and you also have to get the lobster tail with the four types of cream inside it is so delicious so delicious so definitely stop by

Beautiful dessert and pastry shop. Very reasonably priced. Beware- cash only so come prepared! We tried their tiramisu and cannolis and both were perfect after a lunch at one of the Italian restaurants and strolling through the streets. They’re mostly to-go, but do have a section where you can order table service.

Quaint little shop that instantly draws you in with views of their desserts through the glass. Their desserts looked mouthwatering. So many that I wanted to try but didn’t get a chance to. This was my first experience eating a cannoli and it was eye opening. They make them fresh to order which is different than other shops nearby. You can customize, and while it overall is less options, it’s worth it considering it’s made fresh the moment you order it. It’s one of those places you have to try if you’re visiting Boston.

Must see in downtown Boston!! Whether you are a sweets person or not, you have to go to this Italian bakery in Little Italy in Boston! I am not usually a dessert girl, but I do enjoy some desserts and looking at pretty pastries. We happened up Modern Bakery while walking around Boston Friday night. The line to get in was all the way up the street and wrapped around the building! We decided the next morning, we would go early and see what all the fuss was about. Modern is a very quaint, cozy, Italian bakery and pastry shop that is obviously family run and operated. It’s cash only, so be prepared for that! We ordered a piece of the tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. The desserts were so incredibly fresh and delectable. 10/10! I know see why the line was wrapped around the building!! Highly recommend trying this authentic bakery in Boston! They had so much to choose from, and also served espressos and different coffees!

Quick Summary Made to order cannoli bakery that is a major tourist hub. CASH ONLY!! Came here on a Monday at 2pm and waited about 30 minutes (line was out the door and about 10 people deep from the door) Food- 5 stars I ordered the chocolate dipped cannoli with traditional ricotta and chocolate chips. The cannoli was fantastic and a perfect portion. They also boxed it up nicely like a present as well. Service / line- 5 stars No frills, fast service. It did take about 30 minutes to get my order despite coming on an off hour Bottom Line The cannoli is fantastic and it's worth visiting Modern Pastry. Is it worth a long wait? Probably not, but definitely worth trying if you're around the area or have some time to kill

Modern Pastry was a beautiful bakery! The desserts that I tried were awesome. I enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake and the macarons which were all full of flavor. I highly recommend the birthday cake and raspberry flavors. One recommendation is to not forget your cash as that is the only form of payment accepted.
