I can't believe I lived in Boston for four years before I ate a cannoli from Mike's pastries. If you've never tasted one, it sounds weird; there's the whole sweet cheese filling thing and the whole not-so-sweet shell thing... Just trust me on this one, it's perfect.
Furthermore, Mike's has gelato, biscotti, cake, marzipan, homemade peanut butter cups and those little green and pink leaf cookies that they used to give us in Hebrew school. What's not to love?
Well, the crowd isn't fun, especially on a busy night. Give them credit for this, though - if you sit at a table, a server will get to you, take your order and maneuver it back through a throng of sugar-cravers in pretty decent time. Or, if crowds aren't your thing, Mike's delivers through the mail for a somewhat hefty premium. If at all possible, my advice is to walk there, though - what better way to justify those extra calories?

For those of you looking for a good Chinatown bakery or cheap eats in the downtown/chinatown area, this is the place for you! The cakes and pastries are absolutely delicious. However, it is the Chinese buns they sell that are divine. Whether they are fresh out the oven or kept on warm burners for temperature control, you can hardly tell the difference! Only downfall is that you have to request these Chinese buns by type or by name at the counter to Chinese ladies that may or may not understand english, as they are not put on the counter displays. These are definitely worth the hassle of asking for though, as they are fresh and the environment/atmosphere is an improvement over the other bakeries in the area.

I love this place's chocolate chip cookies. It serves many great desets but the chocolate chip cookies are by far my favorite. They also serve a variety of other cookie falvors such as sugar cookies and peanut butter flavored cookies. Everyone here should try them at least once. Other than that they have good brownies and pastries as well.
