Mike's Pastry
Boston, Massachusetts
Beantown has a vibrant Italian community — so when we say "the best cannoli in town", it's not something to be taken lightly. And the recipient of our endorsement is Mike's Pastry. This renowned North End spot offers over a dozen flavors and types of the cylindrical treats, and isn't any slouch when it comes to cookies, cakes, and other desserts, either. It's no little brown bag, but when your friends see you step through the door with the twine-wrapped white box, they'll know you care — or are at least trying to butter them up before you ask them to help you move this weekend.
