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.

tasty pastry... I have grown up in Boston and my family is a regular customer of Modern Pastry Shop. Their pastries are best around Hanover St, no, I think best in the whole Boston. I love its taste especially chocolaty ones. They were well baked and very soft. Staff is very polite and friendly. Try their pastries and you will never forget Modern Pastry Shop.

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.

In my opinion, both pastry stores have their distinct strengths that attract loyal followers. I came on a Saturday afternoon and the line already formed outside the store. After about 20 minutes wait, I got inside and ... read more
