Royal Pastry Shop

We only tried the cannoli here. It was tasty but not like any of the bakeries in the North End. Very cute shop though and the service was amazing! Recommend if you are in the area but if you are specifically looking for a life changing cannoli, go to Modern.

Disclaimer: I did not visit Royal Pastry Shop in person, I just visited their stand at a fair. I tried their Sicilian style pepperoni pizza, which I found to be very average. It tasted a bit like frozen pizza, but that might be because I'm more used to traditional New York style pizza. Also, it wasn't served hot because there wasn't the opportunity to reheat it at the fair, so that might have made it a bit less enjoyable.I know I've passed this place a bunch of times and it looks like they have some delicious pastries. I'll have to try some of those, but I wouldn't bother with the pizza next time.

An authentic Italian bakery right in my neighbourhood? Why did I not discover this earlier? If you don't want to trek to the North End, this is a fabulous alternative. The best part is that you need to spend only $5 to pay with a credit card. The staff is very nice and we're patient with all my questions. They have an assortment of baked goods, cakes, biscuits as well as savoury things. It is also very affordable! What more can you want?I went with some classics. I'll definitely be back to try more of their pastries.

Love the cannolis freshly made with soft cream in crispy shell and topped with nuts/choc chips. Ricotta cream does not have strong flavor, quite mild. Best eaten fresh within 3 hours.

My family just got a cake from here and it was delicious! It was light and brimming with strawberries, and fresh whipped cream. Highly recommend!

price 5/5service 5/5food 4/5 (depends on what you get)I past by this place randomly and decided to give it a try. I was curious about how italian pastries taste like outside of North End. Cookies: Much cheaper than Mikes, Modern, or Bova pastry shops in North End. The cookies are $10/lb. They have a variety of cookies to choose from (shape and color wise). I will give the cookies a 3/5 tastewise. They are kinda hard and not as buttery as the ones you get from North End. And I'm a little bit disappointed that they don't have pistachio or almond cookies. Rum cake: 4/5. Taste very good and you can tell the cakes are SOAKED in rum! Lobster tail: This is more like an americanized sfogliatelle. Unlike the ones in North End which are filled with ricotta cheese cream, the lobster tails here are filled with custard. Pizza: tasted amazing! they are square cut sicilian style pizza super fluffy dough and plenty of topping!key lime pie: 5/5. I loved the not too sweet whipped cream on the top! Def balanced out the lime filling inside! I liked it a lot. The prepacked Hermits bread is amazing!! Very strong molasses/ginger/cinnamon taste! Reminds me of christmas.

Got the cannoli cake last minute for a family members birthday and it was amazing! The cream was super light and it was filled with mini chocolate chips! My brother who doesn't like cake usually said it was the best he has had! 10/10 will be coming back.

I have tried this Bakery more than once over the years. Not much looks fresh. A few times I asked if the product had anise flavor told yes and later learned not.

The ricotta pie is out of this world!!!! We as least get our cakes here as well. The rum snd strawberry shortcake are our 2 favorites.

Amazing local fresh pastries. Classics. No nonsense & so frigging good. Carry out only, no tables. So affordable! They wrap your stuff in a basic, unmarked anonymous white box - full of goodness - with like 10 wraps of string & off you go. Carrying that box is one of those things. It's just happiness. Whenever you put it down & cut that string you'll get smiles. So worth it.
