YOU CAN'T GO WRONG REALLY, I LIKE MODERN BETTER THOUGH. NEVER HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE AS LONG, BETTER SERVICE (MIKE'S CAN BE A CIRCUS). CAN'T GO WRONG REALLY BUT I WOULD RATHER MINGLE WITH REAL ITALIANS AND LOCALS(MORE THE NORM AT MODERN) THEN THE TOURISTS AT MIKES. ALSO I THINK MODERN IS A LITTLE CHEAPER.

I love real bakeries; not that there are a lot of "fake" ones, but I like bakeries that truly know their craft, they have a history, and they support their business on good practices, not just gimmicky trends. Cannolis are such a treat, and they are a sign of skill, as they are a classic. I must quote the line from the Godfather yet again: leave the gun, take the cannoli!

I don't know why, but I've never had a cannoli! What is wrong with me?! I need to trek over to North Beach (our version of the North End) ASAP. I esp. like the idea of a mini cannoli--then I can eat multiples.

I'm particular to Mike's, mainly because when we were in college my husband and I would walk through the back bay all the way to Mike's, get our two cannolis (and prices haven't changed in 5+ years) and sit down by the holocaust memorial (no idea why) and eat them.

I've also never had cannolis from Modern, just other pastries.

i did a similar comparison around 5 on the weekend, it seems as though everyone was eating dinner :) Must've been the time, but mike's was soggy for us, and my aunt and i liked modern's crispy shell and more ricotta-like (less sweet) filling :)

I've actually never been to either Mike's ...

I've actually never been to either Mike's or Modern (hanging my head in shame...). My husband and I have been talking about doing a cannoli taste test for YEARS now. Sounds like a Monday night is the way to go!
