Mike's Pastry, Boston
You can't miss Mike's Pastry in Boston's North End – it's one of the iconic pastry shops that draws hordes of tourists to the neighborhood. Always buzzing with activity, this place is best known for their cannoli (especially the Florentine cannoli), those tube-shaped, crispy pastry shells fried to perfection and loaded with sweet, creamy goodness. And let's just say they aren't stingy on the portion size!
Alongside the famous cannolis they also offer a variety of other large pastries (emphasis on large!). So if you're not so much into cannoli yourself, worry not as you can't go wrong with any of the biscotti, cookies, lobster tails, cream puffs, or macaroons at Mike's.
Still, if you're indeed a cannoli fan, be sure to stop by Mike's after dinner for one (or a few) of their 19 cannoli flavors, including plain, Nutella, Oreo, Limoncello, and others. Fun date night idea: grab the cannoli package and make your own at home. Greedy!!!
