Modern Pastry

When it comes to food rivalries in Boston there are many. Everyone in the city and the suburbs has their favorite pizza, hamburger, and seafood restaurant that they stay extremely loyal to and detest the competition. The same can be said about Boston's favorite cannoli. There are those that stay loyal to the plethora of choices at Mike's Pastry. Right down the street there is another Italian bakery that Bostonians flock to for cannoli and other delicious treats called Modern Pastry. When you compare Mike's with Modern, its a battle between glitz and a classic. Mike's Pastry is the bigger bakery no doubt. On a good day you can find customers lining up on the street to get a cannoli from Mike's.While at Modern Pastry the line might not be out the door, but the pastry they bake is not to joke with. Its one hundred percent authentic and the cannoli are made to order. A simple cannoli filled with ricotta cheese, mini chocolate chips, and powdered sugar is all you need to experience an amazing taste of the North End. Do not be afraid when you do you not see the cannoli in the front of the store with the rest of the pastries. They make them for you when you order so it is not getting stale lying in the front display. For something that is not in all of the travel guides and packed with out of town tourists, Modern Pastry may become your new cannoli spot. Enjoy the power of the cannoli everyone!
