Another highlight of my trip to Boston was going to Mike’s Pastry! Located on Hanover Street in the North End, Mike’s Pastry is a dessert destination for those of us with a sweet tooth. Usually packed to the brim, this pastry shop is known for their specialty Italian pastries, cakes, cookies, eclairs, pies, biscotti…and the list goes on and on.
As we entered the store, I wasn’t surprised to see customers squished side by side sardine style. The key to being efficient at Mike’s is not being afraid to be aggressive. Thankfully the service is speedy so Richie and I made our way to the counter in less than 10 minutes. We decided to be Italian for the afternoon and ordered cannolis and cappuccino. Choosing the type of cannoli wasn’t an easy decision because the options are endless. They have plain ricotta, chocolate cream, chocolate chip, pistachio, caramel, espresso, chocolate mouse, limoncello, peanut butter, chocolate covered, etc. After thorough contemplation, Richie and I chose chocolate chip ricotta and chocolate covered cannolis. After devouring our delicious treats, we ordered enough for his roommates and made it back to his apartment just in time for a food coma nap.
