Great service, came in and honestly picked almost one of everything. The girl behind the counter was sweet and patient. The place is smaller, fewer seating, but clean. Prices were comparable to local shops as well. The pastries were amazing, I think their cheesecake is the best I have had in so long, imagine years. Sadly the mini cream puffs did not go well with our group. The puff was so hard. Other than that we enjoyed everything else. We ordered mini cream puffs, small cannolis, plain cheesecake, Boston cream cupcake, lemon cupcake, raspberry cupcake, cream filled apple turnover, everything bars, brownie, zeppole, raspberry muffin, apple turnover, and biscotti. Overall great experience! read more

High quality, delicious pastries and savory breakfast and lunch options. Good size portions.

Delicious treats! The pizza was delicious and had a flaky crust. Yum. Also ordered the ham & cheese panini, which was also delicious. Generous amounts of cheese and deli meat. Also ordered a tray of mini desserts. They were all sooo good!! Very friendly service and always have a welcoming vibe. read more

2022 visit I purposely returned to La Luce this time because Thomas S. yelped that he had the best strawberry shortcake of his life here. I gazed over the pastries presented in the glass counter as the girl finished serving the patron ahead of me, and then later paused in my conversation with her about prices and what's popular here, to offer the fellow standing by to please go ahead and order if he already knew what he wanted. Each pastry was nearly labeled with what it was in a clear simple font, but for prices, you got to ask. Generally slices of cake are $5, croissants $4, cookies $0.75. I think she said cupcakes were $3 something, but I'm not sure. I was nearly done with my order when the man in the back half of the counter called her over to give him a hand. He seemed surprised that I still needed her, but I had one last pastry for her to box and still had to pay. She was fine, but he didn't add to the pleasure of my visit. As for the goods - Almond croissant $4 - was a little past golden this baking, but it was filled with an almond paste that had grown creamy melty in the summer heat. Strawberry shortcake for one $5 - not too sweet, light and creamy. It reminded me of whoopee pie in form and the strawberry half on top was a little sad. Almond cookie $0.75 - a crisp crumbly cookie full of almond flavor. I surprisingly enjoyed it quite a lot since I normally prefer chewy or gooey cookies. Everything was good, and up for repeat. read more

The staff are nice and there are some different options. None of them are as good as they look :/ I didn't enjoy my crepe (too eggy, too cheesy, not enough flavor) and I've never been a fan on their croissants - the dough is not laminated properly. read more

I have always loved this bakery and have always made it a point to stop by when I can afford to pay for the quality food, but today the service was awful. The woman who I assume owns the bakery was distasteful and rude to me. I even asked if she was alright at which point she curtly replied, "yeah I'm busy". Very disappointing and I am not sure if I will ever come back. I have learned in my life that grace goes a long way and I felt like a roach in her establishment. read more

Great local shop, nice selection of pastries and looks like they have breakfast. Picked up a delicious (from scratch) strawberry shortcake cake for a birthday! read more

I've been going to this place for years. They've always been, and always will be, my favorite pastry shop. My absolute favorite thing to get is their Nutella crepe, reasonably priced and delicious. read more

Their key lime pie is epic!! It's been a staple in Dedham Square for a number of years.

These are the best croissants I've had outside of France. I no longer live in Dedham but I make it a priority to pop in for croissants, crepes, and load up on pastries for dessert. If you've never stopped in, please give it a try! Fantastic bakery. read more

Stopped by to order a Red Velvet cake for Juneteenth celebration, big enough to serve 50 people. Elias, the owner-baker assured me the cake would be ready for Juneteenth. The cake must have weighed 30 lbs! The cake was fabulous and served way more than 50 people! Thank you Elias! read more

The food is just extremely good. Some of the best croissants and pastries I've ever had and pastries are my vice. Almost dangerously good if you have a sweet tooth. read more

Went in for coffee and ordered a spinach crepe and left with cookies. Yummy crepe, fresh. Nice service too. read more

Ive been several times before but today was first time in a couple years. Not much has changed, grumpy help and average pastry. Cannoli shells shouldn't be soft. Pistachio cake was stale, not sure id go back unless Im getting a muffin or croissant as they are usually fresh. read more

Whoa, the cheese croissant had me shook! This was very surprising and a total 3-dimensional treat. The outside has Asiago and the inside has a different kind of white cheese which I wasn't expecting. This is a very special gourmet croissant. It's a nice local business where the shop owners recognize you and there are cute gifts to buy. read more

I found this bakery after searching on Yelp. And I love it! I purchased a mini pastry platter for a party and were delicious. I love the frosting they use on their cupcakes and half moons! It's fluffy and doesn't taste like a chunk of shortening. The cream puffs are good. If they offered eclairs with real cream puff cream instead of the pudding, I'd gladly give them a 5 star! The staff was very nice and eager to answer questions. It's my new go to bakery read more

Delightful prepared and presented desserts. Regularly stop in when nearby. A destination pastry shop for us. Yin-yang review Deeply disappointed by impatient staff who need some attitude adjustment and coaching. A turn-off. If I was owner, I'd monitor more closely who represents my store and greets my customers. read more

Stop by yesterday for a b-day cake for my mom. Was going to go to Whole Foods but I thought to myself NO we need to support small local businesses. So I did because the Carrot cake I picked up was a hit !! My 12yr old grandson who said I don't like carrot cake even liked it #supportsmallbusinesses read more

This little bakery is a gem! They do a variety of cakes and pies and other sweet treats, but the crepes are what I crave. My son loves the Nutella crepe. I think watching it the mail is part of the experience! And for me I love the savory thin pancake with egg, cheese and ham. The staff is terrifically flexible and will customize to make you happy. Located in Dedham Square, it has outside seating to sip, savor and watch the world go by. read more

Wow! Popped in yesterday to get out of the house for a minute and eat a pastry to make us happy haha We tried the Boston creme whoopie pie which was absolutely perfect in my opinion, and not too sweet! We also tried the apple cinnamon twist pastry and wow! My husband actually said it was one of the best desserts he's ever had in his life! Thank you so much for staying open during these strange times and bringing a little joy to our day :) read more

Best croissant in town, make to get there early because they are gone by 9 am. Great collection of cakes and pastries as well read more

I just had the single best Strawberry Shortcake of my life from this place. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Like the place very much. My favorite is lobster tail. Ordered cakes for birthday parties as well. You should try the pancakes as well. Yes I do recommend. read more

Great selection and awesome customer attention. Love their assorted tray, with very good bite size desserts.

The pasties and crepes are fine but... wow, the staff here is unbelievably miserable. I feel like I've offended them every time I walk in; like I'm an unwelcome guest crashing their party. I don't know why, but I gave them another chance today. I was with my excited 5-year-old son today, who was smiling ear-to-ear in anticipation of a cupcake. The woman behind the counter stared coldly at us, said nothing when we ordered, and was visibly annoyed with me throughout the transaction. Why choose to operate a customer-facing business when you seem to be contemptful of customers? Totally weird. read more

Go to Wegman's where you will find pleasant staff and better tasting cake than this place. "Big Red" behind the counter was nasty as she snarled at me asking for more information as I requested a cake to pick up under my name. The chef did not follow any of the basic requests I made in terms of cake production. All I asked is that he refrain from adding extra decorative frosting and only put sprinkles around the base of the cake. Instead the cake was a "run-of-mill" standard, ugly, over sprinkled and over frosted cake with tasteless frosting. There was soooo much frosting and only a little dry cake. I bought a few cookies since I am a chef and was excited to try a local bakery assuming it would be better than the grocery store. IT WAS NOT. read more

Great sticky bun and coffee. Everything was fresh! First time and staff was friendly and helpful. Great start to the day.

I order a Nutella and fruits crepe and honestly it didn't taste good at all. I don't usually criticize food because I love everything but this crepe really tasted bad. The fruits tasted like they were about to go rotten. The dough of the crepe tasted salty. It was supposed to be sweet but even the Nutella didn't help it. It tasted sour. It was really disappointing. read more

Excellent bakery and the eclairs are worth a visit when I at Kourzinas for best lamb chops in Massachusetts and Ron's gourmet ice cream for a quart then La Luce on way out of Dedham for excellent pastries . The lobster tails excellent , half moons too. read more

I bought a fruit tart, it had a thumb tack inside, they offered me a free one next time... but I won't be going back read more

La Luce Pastry Shop - Fruit tart with a thumb tack inside - Bakeries Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

The woman behind the counter (Jan, 2, 1 00 PM) was irritable from start to finish, despite the fact that we were unfailingly polite towards her. At one point, we removed our masks because we saw another take-out consumer maskless and the front door was wide open (perhaps this explains her attitude)? However, we put them back on immediately and respectfully when asked. She seemed annoyed that I asked to have my croissant heated, and put my mini-pastry into the same bag, so that the pastry was melted by the time I got home. She also answered defensively when I asked if I should put the cream in my coffee myself (I had only been there once before, and didn't remember). There was no "thank you" from her at the end of the transaction either, she simply turned to the next customer. What a shame to be treated this way, because the food was delicious. read more

A very big selection of pastries. The have a flourless chocolate cake that doesn't contain gluten. My gluten free wife (celiac) said it was very rich and delicious. read more

Cake slices were stale and lobster tail cream was bland. The desserts are not using the best quality ingredients and it shows in the taste. Cup cakes were dry and flavorless read more

The birthday cake we purchased from La Luce this past summer was so memorable, Im still craving it now. Soft and moist cake, fluffy strawberry filling folded in with whipped cream.. wow. It was not at all heavy or sweet. Perfect balance. The pastries (sausage egg croissant, sweet bun, fruit tart) were fresh and crispy, the fruit on tart also fresh. I recently ordered a cake that was not nearly as great as the one I ordered over the summer and the owner asked me to come in and help him make it right. I suggested a few pastries since the birthday had passed. Definitely feel satisfied with how the owner heard and respected my feedback. Their great selection of fresh pastries, covid appropriate set up, custom made cakes (w not too heavy butter cream) & kind service = 5 stars for me. read more

Best around! Love croissants and cakes. Great service. Terrific find in Dedham Square!

On our way to Western Mass, we stopped at this place that was recommended by my friend who lives around this area. Pastries were freshly made and melted in mouth. My friend had Turkey Pesto Crepe and it was perfect for a morning breakfast. Assorted butter cookies are a must try. read more

The treats at this patisserie are delicious! We love the lemon danish. They're perfect. And the croissants are really tasty too. They're slightly crispy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside, which I really enjoy. The owner is also quite friendly. He's always extra sweet to my little girl, often times giving her a lil cookie (compliments of the chef). It's a good spot to swing into if you're heading somewhere & would like to bring something special. read more

Decadent! The selection was plentiful and had enough variety from muffins to tarts and all in between. We picked up a fruit tart, plain croissant and raspberry almond muffin. The muffin blew my husbands mind so much that he quietly ate it without offering anyone a piece and then raved loudly after. The fruit tart was great! Good cream fruit shell ratio. The plain croissant was a huge and more bready then flaky. Absolutely would recommend and go back to try their crepes and another sweet treat! read more
