It was good
But didn’t find the crazy taste for what people are waiting in the line.
I had puff cream
It was not that tasty
But I must say the portion was good and they have for sure other delicious items. Cookies are good too.
The best part is it is not that expensive compared to what they are se
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 di
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
We came here specifically for the cannoli and weren’t disappointed with the trip. The service could have been quicker but we put this down to the place being so popular with locals and tourists. You need to swing by if you come to see Boston :-)
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 chi
If you’re looking for one of the best Italian bakeries in the North End, you have to stop by Modern Pastry! I promise the wait is worth it and you won’t be disappointed!
Modern Pastry has been a staple in Boston since 1930! While there are a fair amount of tourists, it’s also loved by locals. It’s
My tour guide recommended Modern over Mikes for cannolis, so I did what any good Italian would do and tried both!
Mikes was bigger and good but overall not nearly as flavorful as Modern. Moderns employee were welcoming, helpful and even smiled.
Modern has my vote and recommendation!!!
Modern Pastry located at 257 Hanover St, Boston, MA 02113 has truly amazing Pastries!!! Boston’s best - I’ve been to several and this clearly is the best one I’ve had here. Photos show the deliciousness. I sampled several of their works - from a Hostess Cupcake copy to Eclair. Worth the trip and lin
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.
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
This seems like an old school place to get some tasty pastries. It feels like you are walking into a shop that's been around for a while. You order at the counter and also pay (cash only). We tried a cannoli here and liked it. It wasn't too sweet. I liked that they have you an option to build your
GET THE STINKING LIMONCELLO CAKE. WHATEVER YOU DO! ITS AMAZING. Also the canolis are pretty darn good. To me it's a toss up between Mike and modern pastry. A few more canolis options at Mike's but they don't have a cake like the LIMONCELLO cake. It's majestic
Maybe a little irrational exuberance about Modern Pastry. It’s really good and I’m super happy about their gluten free options. The lines and the service quickly turn this from a 5 star to a 4 star place.
But the food is good. The GF cannoli was outstanding. The lobster tail that my family got rece
When I tell you to try the Pistachio Martini, trust me on this! OMG, I've been thinking about them for quite a while now. The food is good too. The employees here were also wonderful!
There is generally a line to get in. You pick your filling and topping. I got the ricotta & pistachio.
It was amazing. Best Cannoli I have ever had.,❤️
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 th
Of the three major cannoli places, Modern is my absolute favorite! While there is limited flavor choices here, these cannolis are smoother and tastes better than anywhere else. There’s also a good variety of other beautiful pastries to try. Remember that Modern is cash only, so plan accordingly.
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 paym
Saturday afternoon wait was about 10 minutes despite a seeming long line out the door. Lots of groups ordering together and fast service. Compared to Mikes, this place seems like less of an unorganized crowd. For cannolis, you choose your option for the shell, filling, and topping. I got the chocola
