Modern Pastry
Modern Pastry 257 Hanover Street Boston, MA 02113 Yelp I like to compare the best of anything within a city. While Mike’s Pastry might be the most well known cannoli shop in Boston, it certainly isn’t the only place for this classic Italian dessert. Modern Pastry is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from…
Maui Sweet Eats
I had a lot of random sweet treats in Maui, which I decided to smush into one entry. Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice multiple locations ululanisshaveice.com Yelp Of course, I had Ululani shaved ice.

Wow Wow Lemonade
I had my first and best ever acai bowl when I was on the Big Island. Ever since then, most acai bowls have fallen pretty short. The acai is either too icy, too watery, or too sour. The toppings are a little plain or uninspired. Wow Wow didn’t quite live up to my first acai…
Mike’s Pastry
Mike’s Pastry 300 Hanover St. Boston, MA 02113 Yelp mikespastry.com Aside from Boston’s famous lobster rolls, the cannolis are another must-try eat while visiting the city.

Pip’s Original Doughnuts

Cacao
Cacao 414 SW 13th Ave Portland, OR 9720 cacaodrinkchocolate.com Yelp When I lived in Portland, the perpetual doom and gloom would get to me on certain days, especially so when I had a stressful day at work.

Larchmont Bungalow
I’ve heard of Larchmont Bungalow’s famous red velvet pancakes for many moons now. Hobag and I were not too hungover from our Italian, donut, and wine fiesta the previous night to indulge a little something sweet to get our day started.
