There is an ongoing debate around who makes the best cannoli in Boston. The most popular answers are Mike’s, Modern, and Bova’s. We were recommended to these three bakeries by different friends, and we ended up choosing Modern. (1) Unlike the other spots, Modern Pastry fills the cannoli with fresh ingredients when you order. This ensures the crispiness of the shell, as the fillings won’t make the shell soggy while sitting in the pastry shelf all day. (2) You can customize the filling, shell and toppings at Modern. They even have gluten-free shell available. Chocolate dipped shell and ricotta filling are fire. (3) The takeout line is long but it moves fast. They also do delivery via Grubhub if you want to avoid the wait. ＊Pistachio Plain Cannoli I picked plain shell with crushed pistachio and ricotta filling. The shell felt so crunchy and fresh. The ricotta was rich, creamy and not sickly sweet. I loved the generous amount of pistachio dip. ＊Chocolate Chip Cannoli My bf chose chocolate dipped shell with chocolate chips and ricotta filling. The chocolate dipped shell was so good that I regretted a little not getting it! ＊Key Lime Pie The sharpness of the lime was like a punch in your face. The lemon custard filling was very acidic and citrusy in a good way, while the biscuit crust added a crunch to the pie.

This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.

Ask for what’s fresh! I was so Excited for gluten free donuts doughnuts 🍩 I asked for what I wanted - what I should’ve done is ask for what’s fresh! Or freshest? 2 of the 6 I ordered weren’t fresh anymore. They were a little stale. And the coconut oil - which I was really excited about - had gone a little rancid. Who knew? Maybe they should toss things out quicker? Or maybe GF don’t have the shelf stability. I will definitely be back - for the blueberry, the plain cake, and the plain + chocolate, but I may never eat coconut donut again. Also, the jelly stuffed was really brittle, dry and crumbly. I did make it in right at closing ~ 2 pm.

They offer a small selection of gluten friendly baked goods. There is a risk of cross contamination due to shared areas.

Service was great but we went specifically for the gluten free desserts and they only ok. We went closer to closing as well so they may have run out but their website mentioned lots of gf desserts and the only one available was chocolate cake which good but not great (they’re also a chain so I know options can be limited by location). Probably worth trying if you can get non-gf options.
