I enjoyed trying my first “real” cannoli during my recent trip to Boston. My experience with cannoli so far has been the frozen type you find at catered events, so needless to say I was blown away by an authentic cannoli!
Mike’s Pastry & Their Famous Cannoli!
Mike’s Pastry has been located in Boston’s North End since 1946 and they are known for their one-of-a-kind cannoli. Just touring the streets of Boston I passed so many people with the famous Mike’s Pastry boxes in their hands. Going to Mike’s is something of a tradition when you visit Boston and I’m certainly glad I didn’t miss out. You aren’t just limited to Boston’s North End to enjoy Mike’s Pastry, they have 3 other locations in MA, and they ship their famous cannoli (and other pastries) worldwide. Check out their website here!
Cannoli!
The cannoli shells at Mike’s Pastry are handmade in-house and there are so many filling options to choose from. My husband and I kept it simple and went with Plain Ricotta & Chocolate Ricotta. They were both finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. While I don’t have the biggest sweet tooth, these pastries were delicious! I couldn’t make it through a whole one, it was so good but just too much for me.
I highly recommend you check out Mike’s Pastry on your next trip to Boston. I’m no cannoli expert but I do know good food when I taste it, and these are not to be missed!
