A chaotic, ticket-and-shout bakery counter where the cannoli are filled to order. Iconic and fun, but it's a grab-and-go institution, not a place to sit and savor.
Founded in 1946 by Michael Mercogliano in the North End, Mike's fills its cannoli shells to order and is one of the few North End bakeries that makes its own shells. · mikespastry.com
It sells roughly 32,000-36,000 cannoli per week and now operates additional locations (Harvard Square, Assembly Row, Hub Hall). · wbur.org
