I was very excited to see another Asian establishment here in Watertown. We got the hojicha strawberry cream bun and the matcha red bean cream bun and both were delicious, though I loved the hojicha strawberry cream bun just a tiny bit more. We also got the earl grey caramel latte which was also delicious. Service was great too! I'll be back to try out some more of their menu.

This review probably has a bit of variance since I only tried one pastry, but I do like hojicha and…read morered bean so I went with the hojicha red bean ice cream bun. The bun itself was a little dry, and the hojicha flavor was more subtle than I expected. The red bean ice cream wasn't too sweet, which I appreciated, but it lacked the creamy texture you usually expect from ice cream, so it felt a bit underwhelming overall. I can appreciate that it's homemade and a unique combination though, and I'd still come back to try some of their other pastries.

I can't remember what they all were at this time why no one was tiramisu for sure and it was delicious. The owner came out and we had probably a 20 minute conversation after I was done with my order just about life in the area and his life and was really nice. I think the ambience in there and just the way that everyone conducts themselves makes it a very inviting and friendly neighborhood place. I've lived in the area my whole life and I had never been there, but I had saw it. I believe on I think the bachelor

I had to point to the "Latte Macchiato" on the menu. 2) While I was waiting (2nd) in line, the barista asked what would I like. But then ask me to waiting for the cashier...all while the customer in front of me did not order any drink nor the barista was making any drink. NOT a good first visit experience when the cafe was not busy on a weekday morning - there was only one other person waiting in line behind me. I'd go to Fuel just 5 mins away.

I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

The spot is known for their Persian spin on great classics, and many of the typical French offerings. I got to try their pistachio croissant and a black sesame latte. Both were very good. The croissant was excellent; dough was perfect, not overly sweet. Tons of pistachio on the inside. It's topped with a hefty amount of what tastes a bit like cream cheese (but it's probably something else, that's just what it reminds me of). Highly recommend trying it. The black sesame latte came recommended by the staff member. Also very good, nice unique flavor and made with in house syrup! I will say though, it was a little bit gritty as you got to the end of the latte. Theres also an area to sit outside and inside. All in all, an amazing spot that I'd love to visit again!

We fell in love with the pastries--each one with a unique Persian spin on flavor. My favorites are still the Kouign-Amann, Pain Aux Raisin, and the Feta-Za'atar and Orange Marzipan Scones. But the true jewel of La Saison is the Kuku Sabzi on Sea Salt Focaccia. It is unbelievably good. What makes La Saison even more special are the owners, Sarah and Soheil. Their warmth, creativity, and genuine care for their customers shine through in everything they do. You can feel their heart in every pastry and bread and every interaction. La Saison has become one of those rare places that feels both special and comforting, and we're grateful it's part of the neighborhood.

I love chocolate croissants and this is one of my go tos for it. I've never had anything here I didn't enjoy and the prices are reasonable.

It can get busy here but the staff do a good job moving people along. Some seating but definitely hard to get a spot during peak times. Street parking mostly so it can get hard to find a spot.

The avocado, red onion, jammy egg and bacon with the crunchy, toasted bread really hit the spot. The place itself really is more of a takeout spot. They have ~5 bar seats at the window if you want to quick eat there, but not really a place to meet up with people to eat. I would say it's pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. The fancy was ~$12.5 not including tax and tip for a breakfast sandwich that literally is the size of a sandwich. I would recommend if you're willing to spend that much on a good breakfast sandwich. Next time, I plan to try the Breakfast Grilled Crack sandwich.
