Only the unique flavored and/or dipped ones are kept in the case. Next time you visit (if you do), ask for an original ricotta cannoli, and the woman behind the counter will disappear, and reappear a minute later.

If you are in Boston you definitely have to visit Modern Pastry and try this pie when they have it available. Modern pastry’s Ricotta pie is the best I have ever had.

Not sure why folks think they do not do that. I love Modern, but just an FYI that while MIke’s has connoli’s in the case, those of us in the know always ask for a fresh filled one.

I have lived my entire life of 30+ years in and around Boston and have always thought that Mike's was there more for the tourists that visit the North End than for the residents and locals. Yes, the place is always packed but I honestly think that Mike's isn't even the second best bakery in the North End, maybe not even top three.
