La Saison is a wonderful new hidden gem in the Huron Village Neighborhood! The amazing smell of fresh baked bread and pastries greets you as soon as you pull into the parking lot. The owner is incredibly warm and friendly and you can tell he takes great pride in creating fresh and delicious treats with quality ingredients. We tried the savory Zatar sourdough scone and a plain croissant. Both baked goods were packed with flavor and the buttery and flakey croissant was worthy of a Paul Hollywood handshake. Also LA Burdick better watch out because there is a new best hot chocolate place in town. Their rich and velvety hot chocolate is a must have menu item. read more

LA SAISON Bakery - Amazing hot chocolate, flakey croissant and sourdough Zatar scone - Bakeries Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Yes to sourdough loaves and croissants--and a phenomenally enthusiastic, full-throated hallelujah to the saffron pistachio croissant in particular--but, man, the matcha pound cake and chocolate souffle cake were dry as doorstops. Over the last year, I've also had several scones (including pesto gruyere, za'atar, and marzipan orange) and was disappointed at how chewy/gummy/overworked some of them were. I kind of don't understand how you can produce such good bread and viennoiserie and not pause for a moment to reflect on how much some other products lag behind... read more

Underwhelming like so many places these days. Everything is small too so you'll have to order like 3-4 things per person so that's like $20, got 2 people and it's like what's the point. Given the location and no indoor seating the prices for coffee/espresso are just too high. read more

Lovely spot just off Fresh Pond a parkway. They have amazing pastries, great coffee drinks and a pleasant team working there. Stop in for the French trained pastry chefs creations, the rest is a wonderful bonus. Oh and the Persian tea is great too! read more

Their chai is so bad, basically hot water with no flavor. The most recent one I had was so bad that I had to throw the entire thing out after taking a few sips. They also don't have a bathroom which is so inconvenient, especially since they tell you to go use the Dunkin' Donuts which is like half a mile away. I've given this place so many chances since I love the outdoor seating area but I can't support it anymore and won't be going back unless they provide a bathroom and better drinks for $8. read more

Amazing coffee--arguably the best in the Boston Cambrville area. Lovely staff and great sweet treated I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Also, they have a limited but very quality tea selection!! read more

Everything here is wonderful. The croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the kouign-amann is decadent and sinful, and the feta za'atar scones are the perfect blend of light and savory to enjoy with an espresso. Get there early, they are busy and sell out! In nice weather it's also lovely to sit out and enjoy a coffee and a pastry in some of their outdoor seating. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the area. read more

Wish I took a picture of the brioche frite. If you like custard, this is a must try. It was so good !!!!!!!!!! I also tried the chocolate croissant. It was out of the oven not long ago. Nice and flaky, but the brioche frite was such a knockout so it couldn't match up to it. Brought a few other things for my wife. Definitely will return with her next time. read more

The barbari bread is amazing. I was craving it for a while now so when I found out this bakery makes it on Thursdays, I literally took two busses and 50 minutes later I had two loaves in my hands. IT TASTES SO GOOD. I devoured them in 30 minutes. A little taste of home :). And the chocolate cake was phenomenal. Highly recommend. Worth the trip! read more

Croissants are flaky and fresh. Fig and walnut sourdough was soft and chewy. Brioche was great for sandwich.

Great location for an outdoor coffee while the weather is good. The baked goods taste great and are priced reasonably for a bakery. The coffee is very good. Staff is very friendly! read more

The best bakery in the Boston area, hands down. All baked goods are spectacular, carefully made with high quality ingredients. I wish it were a bit easier to procure bread, especially barbari, without reserving ahead, but that's the price to pay for such excellent quality! read more

Worth a special trip into Cambridge. La Saison is a tiny, perfect little French bakery (with some Iranian soul), located partway between Fresh Pond area and Huron Village on Concord Ave- (blink and you'll miss it). Their basics including croissants and pain-au-chocolats are perfection. I also highly recommend the Kouign-amann and Palmier. There are several really special bakeries in the Boston area, but La Saison really feels like a leap ahead- closer to the quality I'd expend to find at a destination bakery in Paris. A++. read more

Soheil is a kind gentleman who will sort you out with the best Persian cookies. The pastries were delicious, moist and tasty, my party ordered probably 7 different things and we enjoyed them all Check them out at Time out market in fenway too! read more

Fabulous bakery! This will 100% percent be my new stop before work in the AM. Oat milk latte + chocolate croissant = happiness

egg bun is the thing to get and only reason i return. everything you could want - perfectly custardy soft egg, bacon, tomato, AND avocado?! and cheese! and mustard! lovely. brioche bun is perfect too. croissant pastries are overpriced and nothing special. scones are good. coffee is good. read more

I should have known this would be an outrageously expensive purchase after seeing the "ambiance" inside and the fact that there were no prices posted on anything. The biggest disappointment was the $11.50 loaf of sourdough that did not even have a subtle hint of sourness to it. You got me once, but not gonna get me again... read more

Wow - really high quality bakery! Basically anything with their chocolate is amazing. They user very high quality ingredients. Even their croissants taste like Parisian croissants. Would highly recommend! read more

Food quality has gone downhill in the past year. First, the owner used to be there to make sure of the quality. Now he's not. The service is awful. There's always a lot of people so they don't think they need to provide good service. read more

Arguably the best scone in Massachusetts. Had the Za'atar scone and it was to die for. Will be back to try the rest of their offerings. If you are thinking about going here, do yourself a favor and stop thinking and just do it! Well worth the trip! Wish I lived closer to go everyday or post run on the weekends. Keep up the excellent work! read more

Insanely good pastries, delicious tea, friendly service -- what more could you ask for?! Love this place!

Persian bakery!! Whoa they are absolutely amazing- we just had one bite of the rose pistachio cookie- perfect texture and mouthfeel and fragrant. WILL COME BACK ASAP read more

Great bakery on the corner of Cambridge. Their breakfast pizzas and pastries never disappoint. Love the outdoor seating during the Spring and Summer and also love that it's dog friendly! read more

Finally tried their famous sourdough loaf and it was worth the wait and accolades. I had to preorder and prepay a few days before for Sat. My husband picked up the order around 10am and it was still warm. Due to Covid19, they only allow 1 person in store each time, so expect a line on the weekends. I loved the look and texture of the sourdough bread loaf, and it had great sourdough flavor. Tasted great with butter! read more

The best croissant in town! All their baked goods were fresh out of the oven. All the reviews are true, it is worth the line, the wait, the preorders etc. Highly recommend calling ahead and ordering because stuff goes fast! I can't wait to be back. read more

All of the baked goods here are delicious. I got the vanilla bean poundcake and a few of the croissants. The croissants were good - quality that I would expect from a bakery like this. The poundcake was the item that really hit it out of the park. It had the perfect amount of sweetness (this is not an overly sweet pound cake), and the texture was light while still being moist. Highly recommend! read more

This is the first new place I've been since the pandemic started and I'm so glad I went! Absolutely amazing croissants and good coffee. Highly, highly recommend visiting. Grab your morning carbs and walk around Fresh Pond. read more

Stopped in for iced coffee & to check them out; never been here before. Counter person suggested the pistachio & rosewater cookie. It's tiny & costly....but packs a ton of extra deliciousness! Totally worth it! I dont pass here very often, but i will be making a trip to taste their other cookies soon. I loved this cookie. read more

Their chocolate croissants were good. However, the chocolate cake was very overpriced for its taste. The frosting was yummy but the actual cake was very dry and unpleasant. read more

What a lovely spot! Such an treat to see trays of freshly baked croissants rolling out of the back straight to the display case. This is simplicity done well, just butter, flour, elbow grease, and obviously a hefty amount of passion. I brought an assortment of pastries to my new job and I think I may soon become a favorite colleague. I'm glad to have found a little hidden treasure in this new town. I will certainly be back! I would have taken some photos for Yelp but the goods got taken faster than my millennial fingers could swipe up the camera apps. read more

I would post a photo but the bakery items from La Saison were so delicious we ate them all before a picture could be taken. Just moved to this neighborhood and I'm in love with this bakery. The brownie, cookies and Marzipan scone, which was complementary along with a chocolate croissant, were amazing. Go here now. read more

Okay I love the product! Yummy croissants and other delectables! But they need to figure out their "on-line orders" process and also police the people coming in and out a bit better. Spent ten minutes waiting in line. Maybe not so bad Until I realized that there were the same people still inside when I left! Someone with a large dog that I had to step over in the crammed space. There should be a clear indication of where a person can go to get their on-line order. Also- no dogs? In other words, maybe they're all too busy baking and so it's time to hire a good police-person to tell customers where to go and when to leave! read more

Delightful, unassuming local bakery conveniently located on Concord Ave. in Cambridge, walkable from Harvard Square. The pastries are excellent ~ perfectly fresh, just the right level of sweetness (that is, not cloyingly sweet), and just the right level of buttery (that is, not overly buttery). I enjoyed the chocolate croissant and raisin-custard swirl (the latter is like a bread-and-butter pudding in pastry form!). Paired well with a cortado, mmm! Will look forward to visiting again. read more

Not a very big selection of baked good at around noon time of the day. Tried a croissant and a marble brownie, and I would rate both as 3.5 stars since neither would get me to go back there and order them again. Prices are on par with other bakeries of this type. The croissant is very flakey, but it was not buttery at all, which defeats the purpose of a croissant. The marble brownie's taste was mostly sweet and doesn't have the more complex combination of chocolate and cream cheese taste that I was anticipating. Overall, a bit disappointed. Not a place I would go seek out, but it's definitely a fine place if one happens to be right at that location. read more

What a treat! This small bakery is owned and operated by a husband and wife team. Their pastries are superb--the almond cookies at to die for, crispy on the outside and chewy within and not too sweet. And the croissants--ah, REAL butter throughout and the perfect blend of substantial and flaky . You have to order bread a day or two ahead, which we have yet to do, but I am sure it is excellent. Even the iced tea was good and the service is friendly. May they thrive! read more

The bread and pastries were excellent. My friend was very happy with what she bought as well. We drove down from CT and we will be back again! read more

The baked goods are exceptional, the staff is delightful and the owners are friendly and responsive. What a great neighborhood find! Be forewarned, their goodies are addictive, and don't even get me started on the almond cookies or the orange almond scones. read more

Everything I have tried from this bakery is exemplary. Perfect croissants, crisp yet chewy nan barbari, and delicious coffee. Make sure to order bread in advance if you want something specific! read more

Wonderful new bakery that recently opened in Cambridge. When I heard they sold my favorite pastry, the kouign-amann, I knew I had to give their goods a try. I first tried the kouign-amann, chocolate croissant, and a regular croissant. Everything was delicious and most importantly fresh. The pastries were very rich and flaky as they should always be. I know need to try their non-pastry offerings such as the cookies, breads, and brownies. read more

Love this place! The Cranberry & walnut sourdough is a family favorite and the owners are so wonderful. I think I've shamelessly had all the pastries too. My 2-year old son is obsessed with the pain au chocolat. This place is such a treat for the West Cambridge/Fresh Pond area. read more
