Mango cheese bar
Yangsoo S.

What an amazingly cute Japanese bakery in Newton! Their egg sandwiches are to die for, probably the best one in town. They have great coffee, matcha, and so many pastries. The service is attentive and quick. There is also a Japanese grocery shop right next to it which sells fresh seafoods if you want check them out.

Came here per recommendation of a friend and I'm deff glad I did! They offer a variety of items, from sweet to savory depending on what you're feeling like. I ordered a chocolate croissant and a corn & cheese roll. The corn & cheese was savory yet a little sweet and it was honestly so good. The chocolate croissant had the the perfect amount of crunch to it. You could tell both items were fresh. I also tried their Maple Latte which I really enjoyed as well. A flavor that paired so nicely which I was not expecting! They have a few tables outside so I got to enjoy my treats here. They also are very allergen sensitive which is a bonus and have a ingredients quick code sign so you can navigate their items, love this!! Check this place out! PS. They aren't open every day, so double check their hours!

This place deserves to expand. Hidden gem that has been found. It's only a matter of time before it's big. Don't wait to try this place, cross it off your list now! Fresh, fluffy, and tastes good! 10/10

Peach danish and beef curry bun
Joy G.

I've had this place bookmarked ever since I moved, though I kept confusing the dates and times that they're open (for the record, it's Thurs-Sat). Finally the stars aligned and I'm so happy I got to try this place out. It's absolutely worth a spot in any itinerary near Boston and not that far off the highway. I went in with the mentality of needing to come back, so exercised some restraint and only picked two items, the beef curry bun and the peach danish. First off, the bread itself is so chewy and sweet, the mouthfeel definitely brings home that you're eating Asian bread. The portion is on the dainty end but they stuff each pastry with generous amounts of filling. Well-seasoned curry flavor. The peach danish had just the right touch of sweetness. Sad to say, I ate the whole thing without realizing I had fully demolished it. The people working behind the counter are really kind and will help you pick stuff out (they gave the customers in front of me some samples of a drink to help them decide, think it was the butterfly bean limeade). They also have a refrigerated section of desserts (mango cheese bar, earl grey panna cotta) and sandwiches. The area inside is small so they do limit the number of customers but the day I went, there was no line. Street parking available!

After this bakery was revitalized as Little L, I decided to give it a try. I tried out the fresh strawberry mochi, strawberry cake, azuki milk bun, onion bacon roll, and their iced maple latte. Everything was delicious! Items like the azuki milk bun still match the quality of its predecessor, Koko. New items like the strawberry roll cake was light and not overly sweet. Can't wait to try out their other items!

I was so excited to try Little L Bakery after not having had the chance to visit their predecessor, Koko Bakery. We came around 8:30am on a Saturday morning and only one couple was ahead of us and waiting for their drink order. I got an iced matcha latte with oat milk, as well as the curry bun, almond croissant, and sticky bun. The almond croissant was unlike any other almond croissant I had before, as it wasn't super flaky and was on the doughier side. It was delicious and the almond filling was the perfect amount of sweetness. The sticky bun had a nice lamination and the nuts on top added a nice texture. The curry bun I had about an hour later but it still tasted fresh and the curry was super flavorful. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back to try out more of their pastries.

Earl Grey Panna Cotta
Lina L.

Little L is a small, cute bakery that has quite a collection of savory and sweet pastries! There is not much room so sometimes people are lining out the door, but the staff are fast, making the line move reasonably fast. I bought a banana almond Nutella croissant, beef curry roll, earl grey panna cotta, and azuki milk. I enjoyed each item, but my favorite is the azuki milk. The beef curry roll was not bad. The curry flavor was not bad, but I had better ones elsewhere where the breading was crispier. The earl grey panna cotta was not bad. I liked how prevalent the earl grey flavoring was, but not to the point of being overwhelming. The banana almond Nutella croissant was pretty good. I loved the combination of all these flavors. I most enjoyed the crunchy almond exterior on top of the croissant. The mashed banana combined with Nutella filling was quite generous. The azuki milk was the best. I loved how it was not too sweet and the milk cream filling was light, but fragrant. All in all, I would love to come back to this bakery and try some of their other options!

Corn roll and transforming butterfly limeade
Mara H.

Hands down the best bakery in the area. This place was previously Kokos but has since been purchased by new owners and renamed little l. Quality has stayed the same or improved during the change over with the addition of some cute little patio tables and chairs when weather permits. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's all delicious. Most of the pastries are very Japanese style and lots of French influences. The blueberry danishes and beef curry buns are favorites. Come early on the weekends for good selection and too avoid the line. Though sometimes chatting with neighbors and petting cute dogs in line is part of the charm.

Azuki milk and chocolate croissant
Susan L.

Cute little bakery with many delicious options. Always served with a smile. I have tried many of their items and have never been disappointed with any of my choices. My fave is their Azuki milk.

expensive and very mediocre. Got three things and all of them ranged from 2-3 stars. Rounding down because of price.

The mochi was so chewy and fresh, the matcha was rich and creamy, the strawberries provided a hint a tartness that gave balance, and the butter crunch made it the perfect texture combination. It doesn't get better than this. I think about this place often. You have the option of buying pre-made mochi. It was my first time trying taro pork floss mochi. I felt like the sweet cream, taro, and mochi was good, but it was sweet in comparison to the pork floss? the pork floss is supposed to make it savory, but the sweetness overpowers the pork floss, so I found it to be odd. Depending on the day and time you go, there could be a wait, but it's so worth it. I would go here again and again.

This bakery is such a cool experience- I love that they have lots of mochi options, but also let you get your own custom one. I made my own mochi with vanilla and strawberry inside, the and the oreo dusting. It was so cool how they made it right in front of you! The mochi itself was delicious (although a little messy) and i definitely would make the trip for more of it! I personally am not a mochi connoisseur, but my friends I was with are and they said it was "life changing". The bakery itself is pretty small and there's not a lot of seating, but it's a fun vibe and definitely busy!

What a great bakery to stop by in Coolidge Corner. There was constantly people popping in and out…read moreso you can tell it's a crowd favorite. I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

They have standard coffee and tea, beverages, but also some fun seasonal drinks and they have non-dairy milk alternatives! All of the bakery items are gorgeous and I don't think you could go wrong with whatever you choose to try. I appreciate that for the bakery items. They also display the allergens on the little cards, which is super convenient for anyone with allergies or restrictions. The service is friendly and there is a surprising amount of seating inside, which is great to take advantage of the natural light from the big windows. There's also some seating outside when the weather is nice.
