Modern Pastry Shop

Quaint little shop that instantly draws you in with views of their desserts through the glass. Their desserts looked mouthwatering. So many that I wanted to try but didn’t get a chance to. This was my first experience eating a cannoli and it was eye opening. They make them fresh to order which is different than other shops nearby. You can customize, and while it overall is less options, it’s worth it considering it’s made fresh the moment you order it. It’s one of those places you have to try if you’re visiting Boston.

So very delicious! We only got a cannoli, but it was definitely one of the very best I've had -- the ricotta was light, the chocolate chips were a bit dark and tasty while adding great texture, and the shell was wonderfully fresh (not soft or stale at all). They only take cash, which was probably a good thing, because I would have gotten a whole bunch more if they would have taken card.

While in Boston for NYE with friends we decided to check out Modern. We always go to Mike’s but I am so glad we changed it up. The selection was incredible, they offer both coffee and hot chocolate as well as seating to enjoy your treats. The showcases were filled with a variety of Italian confectionaries to meet everyone’s taste.
