Thank you so much for having this shop to sell some quality items. I love your cakes, and for me, they are some of the bests in the market.
They sell some of the finest cakes available. If you are celebrating some special occasion, you better try their bestselling cakes.
They do bake the best cakes in town. If you are looking to spice up your special occasion, order one from them!
Authentic Italian Bakery – Being a Bostonian, and having a grandfather that owned a pastry shop in the North End when I was a child, I can honestly say that I have never, ever been disappointed with Modern Pastry! The cannoli's are wonderful, as well as all the other Italian pastries. Everything is fresh, and has not been sitting in the fridge for hours. They also managed to incorporate some American Pastries/candies that are equally delightful. It's not a tourist trap like the other's. If you want an authentic Italian Baker... read more
Forgetaboutit! – Worst customer service in the City. Not worth the wait or the aggrevation. Do yourself a favor and walk across the street to Mike's.
Best Cannoli I have had – After reviewing Mike's Pastry last week, it is time to judge Modern's Pastry and decide which one has the best cannoli. Mike's and Modern are right across the street from each other. Just like the rivalry between Philly Cheesesteak establishments, Gino's and Pat's, it is dead intense.

After about 20 minutes wait, I got inside and ... read more
Frozen Foods – I have gone here last year and was disapointed. It is a small dirty place. With over priced food. The day that I went I asked certain dessert and was given it by the owners wife. When I sat down and tried it I noticed it had been frozen. I can tell this because it lacked flavor. So I asked the woman in charge if she had any thing that was fresh. She gave me a very rude answer. She said that I wouldnt know the difference between fresh and frozen anyway. So with that I left and havent gone back. So if you like f... read more
Editorial Review by Eric Grossman – Italian pastries including cannolis, torrone, wedding cakes and cookies, including Florentines and biscotti; also chocolates, Italian oils, vinegar and coffee.
Mmmmm Canoli's – Im not going to lie I have a terrible sweet tooth, so pretty much anything with frosting usually gets the job done for me. But modern pastery is actually worth the trip. For 20 bucks I got 6 canolis and 4 cup cakes that were the size of my fist. It was great, and like I said I have the type of sweet tooth that can usually be satisfied by a crueller at Dunks, but Modern Pastry is worth the trip into the North End
