North End Bakery

I think it tastes ok. Nothing special, I can’t even finish one piece of it. I guess the lobster is anyway expensive so I was looking for some compensation for dessert. However, I don’t feel very much impressed. I guess I would not recommend this one. Get your lobster as you don’t eat that everyday!

Had the cheese pizza
very tasty
enjoy it very much so

Ordered the Spinach, Rice & cheese ball, it was really good, although different than expected, not much seasoning, but different! (Just what i was looking for, something i wouldnt cook myself) Then, went for the chocolate chip cannoli and it was delicious! I’m not sure what the previous reviews are talking about. It was fresh. And yummy. Two ladies behind counter were pleasant and kind.

Went there just for the Boston cream pie. Crowded food court as usual but the girl behind the counter was friendly considering the madhouse that is Faneuil hall. The pie was rich and creamy but a little light on the chocolate. I would go back try some of the other goodies though.

Met a family who loved the strawberry shortcake?, lava cake, and we liked our mini chocolate bomb. I think u r safe w their chocolate desserts. We would love it if they sold smaller portions so we could try various desserts in one sitting. Inside Quincy Market.

I took advantage of their Half off at the Hall deal (good through March) to pick up a slice of «mile high apple pie» for $ 2.06 instead of $ 4.16. The lady offered to heat it for me (aka a 30 second zap in the microwave), which I declined, as I was taking it to go.
One slice was pretty tall — perhaps with a full apple each? About a sixth of a small pie was my guestimation. The case must have been refrigerated as my pie was pretty cold to the touch. However after I nuked it for the recommended 30 seconds, while the apple slices were tasty and firm, the inner surface of the crust was white and pasty/​gooey. I wasn’t sure it was fully cooked, so I left the crust behind and picked out the apples.

I got a piece of caramel tres leche on October 30^th 2013 (few days ago). I was shocked that it was the exact same one I get from Market Basket bakery for $ 10.99. My daughter tried a piece too and said this is NOT a copycat recipe of the one Market Basket sells and that it is from Market Basket because it had the exact same awful taste, same amount of caramel on the dough, same twinky-​like dough, same food coloring, same height of the 3 layer cake, same decoration (crème in the same spots and chocolate drissling is exactly the same), ETC.
In the end, this «bakery» is not what I would consider a real bakery since they do not bake much of the goodies they sell and buy it from BJ’s, Market Basket, and other places and sell it for much more money.

Horrible. I’ve never eaten pastries this bad before. You could spackle drywall with the cannoli filling and the boston crème pie had no custard at all. Avoid at all costs. There are too may good places in Boston to eat this crap.

Found this bakery when we were exploring the Q Market during our short stay in Boston. Got the Lava cake: yummy & Key lime: not too fresh.

I was craving a cannoli after a long day of sightseeing. I came upon this place in Quincy Market, and I decided to give it a try. I only ordered the one cannoli. It did not taste that good. Although my opinion may be biased because I had already visited both Mike’s and Modern during our trip to Boston earlier in the week.

The cannoli here was just ok. I didn’t like the orange aftertaste it had, and couldn’t figure out if it was orange extract or zest, but it just didn’t fit with the rest of the cannoli taste. The cannoli shell was crispy and had a good crunch, but was on the thick side. This was my least favorite cannoli of the trip, and I wouldn’t recommend coming to the North End Bakery, at least for their cannolis.

Aw, I have great memories from the North End Bakery– they usually have an amazing selection of tasty treats, and I particularly enjoy the eclairs. Sure — there are amazing pastry shops within a rock’s throw of this place, but if you’re already in Quincy Market and looking for dessert, this place is a good stop.

We ordered lemon pie. It was like foul rubber. We brought it back and said it was terrible and asked if we could trade it in on something else. The woman behind the counter said no. We could not believe it. So, we waited a couple minutes and went back to ask for a business card so we might contact the owner. The woman hid in the backroom. This is an awful excuse for a bakery.

(FOR CHOCOLATE ECLAIRS)
Faneuil Hall is occupied by dozens of dessert stands. The North End Bakery caught my eye by its familiar looking chocolate éclair. However, it was not the ordinary size. It was about 2 times the size of a regular éclair. Priced at $ 4.82 after taxes, I was hoping for a delicious treat. Since it was too big to eat with just my hands, I used the fork that the girl handed to me. As a huge fan of eclairs which I have experienced from Paris to Shaw’s supermarket. This éclair was not that special. It’s large size just meant more cream filling. There was hardly enough chocolate on top to even out the filling. The puff itself was ok since the éclair was in a refridgerated case. I would have been better off with a smaller éclair with a good chocolate topping.

Unspectacular for baked goods etc… but an OK place to pick up a cake for your coworker’s birthday that afternoon. Seriously though…

If there was a giant monster who turded out disgusting cannoli, this is where he’d make his potty stop.
This had the saddest excuse for a yummy cannolo I’ve ever seen. Here’s me, thinking, «Mmmm chocolate chip cannoli, HOW could they go wrong?» Obviously I was too drunk, and I went ahead and did it.
Heavy, soggy, bland, yuck. I actually threw away 2/​3rds of this poorly executed little tube. And I don’t throw away sugar.

This is the closest place to my work that sells cupcakes. I will say the cupcakes are pretty huge and people are impressed with them but — you can walk just a little further and get an excellent cupcake from Lulu’s Bake Shoppe in the North End. I will also say, the people who work here are usually pretty rude and act put out to help you or box anything… but in a pinch, this is an OK place.

Ugh, this place is foul. Why anyone would go here and not the actual North End (which is just a few minutes away) is completely beyond me. Do not waste your time and money with this awful, overpriced stuff. Take a walk over to the North End and go to Modern Pastry.
