Boston bagel | Has the Internet celebrity Lakon gone out of style

🥐 Lakon Paris Patisserie: Brookline’s Weekend Special Croissant—Pretty, But Not a Must-Buy Stopped by at 3:30 PM and scored their weekend special croissant with no line! Only the pistachio flavor was left, but there was plenty in stock. If you’re flexible on flavors, late afternoon is a good time to check—no wait, and still fresh. 🥜 The Details Pistachio Weekend Special ($9.5): 🥐 It’s huge—definitely a shareable size. The pistachio cream filling is moderate (thankfully, not overflowing—more would’ve been cloying). The nutty flavor is bold, which I liked. Texture: Here’s the catch. The croissant itself is dense, bread-like, and dry—not the buttery, flaky, crumbly kind that sheds layers. No crumbs, no crispiness—just a chewy, solid base. If you prefer ，this won’t hit. ✨ Verdict It’s beautiful to look at, but underwhelming to eat. At $9.5, it’s pricey for what it is. Worth a try if you’re nearby and there’s no line, but I wouldn’t wait in the usual long queues for it. Unlikely to repurchase—disappointing if you braved a crowd for this. 📍 Lakon Paris Patisserie 1410 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02446 #BostonPastry #CroissantLovers #HitOrMiss
