Boston North End Bakery and Cafe Tour
Description
Welcome to the North End Bakery & Cafe Tour! Join the group and skip the lines as we have tastings from three bakeries and one cafe and venture through one of Boston's oldest and most important neighborhoods. Home to roughly 95 restaurants and 3 stops on Boston's Freedom Trail, you'll never run out of things to learn and places to try here. During this tour, we'll taste the following: -Sfogliatella from an underground bakery in a tucked-away alley -Tiramisu from the oldest Italian café in Boston -Florentine cannoli from a 24/7 bakery that's been a North End institution since 1926 -Chocolate ganache from a family-owned bakery that's been on Hanover St since 1930 And as a parting gift for joining the tour, you will be sent a post-tour email covering more of my favorite places to go, things to do, and food & drink to enjoy while you're in the Boston area!

Loved hearing all the history. The picks of pastry’s were amazing. My fav was the original cannoli at modern pastry.
This tour is a great combination of history and pastries. Adam is well-versed in North End history including some esoteric tidbits. He has also selected a perfect sampling of bakery treats, so you get a real "taste" of the area. I also appreciate that he chose great spots for us to sit and enjoy our desserts in the shade while we listened and learned. We even learned about a hidden bakery that I would otherwise never have known about. Overall, an enjoyable afternoon.
Adam is the best at what he does !! An incredible tour guide who not only knows Boston well, not only North End well, but also a lot of the north end restaurants realllllly well! His effortless guide of the establishments and history is excellent and he is 1 of 1. I highlyyyy recommend him and all of his tours if you’re in Boston.
Adam brought us to four excellent dessert destinations along with several historical stops along the way. It was a great tour and highly recommended. We’ve been on a number of food tours but this was our first dessert centric and it was fantastic! Thanks Adam.
Walked around the North End and had desserts with Adam. He was amazing and we would love to take another tour with him when we return to the area!!
Adam was incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable. Most of all he is a fun and can bring the knowledge of the 1700s all the way to modern times.
Loved our tour! Adam was great with our 10 and 8 year old grandsons, incorporating the history at their level. We all loved the pastries!
Adam was a wonderful guide! The spots he chose were delectable and we never felt rushed. He was also full of Boston history facts and stories. Highly recommend!
Excellent pastry/history tour with Adam from Up and Adam Food tour. Adam knew his history and pastry’s! Highly recommend Adam’s tours!
This was a great introduction to the city! We did this tour on our 1st day in Boston and had a great time. Our guide was knowledgeable not just about the area and the city, but chose some great stops for food that really highlighted the neighborhood. We had so many yummy desserts we had to take some to go by the end we were so full. Definitely reccomend for travelers of all types. He also shared a handy guide as a follow up with every stop, mention and question we had
