Somerville’s Assembly Row is about to get a little bit sweeter.
Mike’s Pastry, the iconic North End bakery famous for its cannoli, is opening a location in the burgeoning retail district on Thursday at 8 a.m.
The new shop, housed at 445 Revolution Drive, will be Mike’s third location. Its second debuted in Harvard Square in 2014.
