Modern Pastry Shop

Sweetest little bakery, offshoot from North End (Italian section of Boston). They have the best ricotta pie - you must try! For gluten free options, they have beautiful chocolate truffles of all different flavors and yummy Florentine cookies. Before I was gluten free, I had it all - strawberries cheese cake, chocolate cupcakes, carrot cake, Key lime pie, berry/fruit tarts. Cannot recommend highly enough. And of course seasonally decorated and adorable treats

This location is much more convenient than the one in the north end. We love all the pastries and cookies from here! You can’t go wrong with whatever you choose, though I’d skip the pizza and arancini balls and stick with the sweets. They also have a small selection of Italian market goods like pasta and sauces and things like that. I like to pick up the oregano they bring in from Italy when they have it. They have a nice espresso machine in which you can get your fix while you’re waiting for your goodies to be packed up. Street meter parking is available and there’s usually a spot or two free close by. This place is CASH ONLY, so be prepared for that. I think there’s a store with an atm around the corner, but just be aware there is no machine on site. The people that work here are super

Cash only! Metered parking outside. Paragina is my favorite. I feel like the tiramisu used to be better but now it’s a little too heavy on the whipped cream? Prices have gone up over the years unfortunately, but what can you do

someone recommended this place to my daughter so we stopped by, boy was I amazed with the variety of pastries on hand. I had to have the lobster tail, one of my daughters had the red velvet cupcake and the other one the hostess cupcake. there is only one negative, they don't take cards, yes this is a CASH ONLY business I'm pretty sure there is reason behind it but for a lot of new customers its an inconvenience. if I ever have cash on me again I'll make sure to get me another lobster tail, price wise I bought 5 items and the total was +/- $34.00 you do the math. do I recommend this place? yes.

Amazing star quality desserts that are hard to find these days! I got the sfogliatelle and the amaretto cake. Both were delicious and classic! Some negative views on the cash only option but there’s an atm two businesses down. Worth it!!
