Lakon Paris Patisserie — Restaurant in Boston

Simply, yes. This patisserie is WORTH CHECKING OUT. Please do yourself a favor and order a few items from their menu. Your taste buds will thank you profusely.

I came with a group of friends and we ordered the following (listed in the order of my favorites) (1) pistachio croissant (2) hazelnut shokupan (3) focaccia sandwich w/ prosciutto (4) bagel w smoked salmon (5) monkey bread

What I love is that the croissant, monkey bread, and shokupan weren’t overly sweet (which is dangerous because you’ll just keep eating more).

There is ample seating inside, comfortable for small and big groups.

SECOND UPDATE: These are the pickings from a 2nd visit to Lakon (ordered by my favorite)(1) daisy mango coconut mousse (2) matcha raspberry cube (3) ube maritozzi.

I particularly enjoyed the daisy because not only was it a pretty dessert to look at, it was simply a delightful treat. Not too sweet, perfectly refreshing with the fruit mousse.

The matcha raspberry cube had a great balance of tartness from the jam and richness from the matcha cream. The cube itself was such a fun shape but not as fluffy as your average croissant. The ube maritozzi was ultra creamy and smooth! Just relative to the other two pastries it felt a bit plain, but still would...

The pastries here are both delicious and elegantly presented—they’re almost too pretty to eat! The interior design, paired with the exquisite pastries, instantly transports you to Paris. My personal favorite was the strawberry croissant: a beautifully layered, triple-accented pastry, packed with freeze-dried strawberries, topped with strawberry frosting and its fresh juice, and filled with a creamy center.

Be sure to try the savory croissants as well; they’re just as impressive!

One area for improvement would be the staff’s attire. Their outfits felt overly casual, almost as if they had just come from their home, which didn’t match the elegant atmosphere of the café. A uniform or more polished look would better reflect the brand’s sophistication. Also, the bathroom could use more attention to cleanliness.

Overall, I’d love to come back and explore more...

What a beautiful, bright, and spacious patisserie! The counter is styled like a gigantic home kitchen, which creates such a cozy atmosphere. I was amazed by how delicious the pastries look and their surprisingly large sizes. The ladies working the counter were also incredibly nice. We had a quick conversation about me being new to town, which was very welcoming. I ordered a delicious puff pastry with pineapple and a creamy filling with a hint of coffee—it was incredible. They also have a small gift and coffee display where you can pick up tasty things perfect for a gift or a treat for yourselves. Parking here can be difficult, but the location is very walkable. If you're in the neighborhood, you really don't need to drive here; it's a very nice stroll. I'll definitely be back for coffee and more treats. A great find in the...
