The tiramisu latte was well balanced with a sweet flavor but not overpowering making it a pleasant mid-day coffee. The lady finger at the top is a nice addition to the drink which can be dipped in the coffee, eaten alone, or ignored. Typically these drinks end up being super sweet but I liked how this drink managed to capture the tiramisu flavor while still staying true to a coffee based drink. The staff was friendly and while there is seating inside, it might be tough to find a spot depending on what time of day it is and the weather. Luckily this place is in a great walking area, so you can easily grab something to go. I look forward to coming back to try one of the many desserts.

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!

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. So worth the visit if you're in the area, I come by every time I'm near Newton. I came around 1pm on my most recent visit and they still had a good stock of baked goods. 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.

My sister & I came here before the Boston Marathon and there wasn't a line which was a pleasant…read moresurprise. We saw the spinach artichoke pastry and COULD NOT resist, the flavor and the flakiness were unmatched. The plain hot cappuccino was perfectly foamy and warm (next time I would order a flavor but I forgot), the vanilla matcha had the most perfect real vanilla flavor! The space is absolutely with beautiful booths but also an abundant amount of outdoor seating, too.

My friend has a gluten allergy, and the staff was amazing about it. they created equivalent GF options for her and even brought out two separate platters to avoid any cross-contamination.

The tea room itself is adorable inside, think charming mismatched plates, cups, and glasses that make the whole experience feel extra cozy. And a huge shoutout to Teagan, who gave us incredible service! She was so friendly, accommodating, and fun. Highly recommend!

I had a dietary restriction (gluten free) and we let them know a week in advanced. I tried calling them 4 days in advanced to make sure, no answer. Emailed 2 days just in case and there was also no answer. That was a bit disappointing. When ordering, they did not have prepared GF items and I had to change picked foods. Even with a week in advanced, little sad. The servers didn't know much about celiac and wanted to put everything on one plate, but I let them know we couldn't. The savory items were good and the sweets were alright, menu did not match online menu. Which is okay! Besides those issues, we really did have a fun time. You can never go wrong with tea and a friend! I would come back again in the spring and call again further than a week in advance or try a different location!

Nowhere to sit, so another challenge. Good selection of croissants and croissant-adjacent items like caneles and pain swisse. Friendly staff; no pretension. My first visit in well over a year on a late weekday morning tried a troika of chocolate-themed items. -- Chocolate Croissant: Not warm (and I wouldn't expect that past 9am), but very fresh feel, very slight greasiness on the bottom, plenty of flakiness on top, and decent fluffiness inside. A good bite, yielding plenty of croissant shrapnel, a light but pleasant buttery taste, and just the right amount of chocolate. A winner. -- Pain Swisse: This varied from others I've had, not having the typical stringiness around the perimeter that feels like raw pasta to the bite, but that was a plus. The bigger noticeable divergence was a much-lighter-than-typical custard presence inside, deferring to the dominant, high quality dark chocolate. The dough around it had good flavor and a nice light crunch, so whether central casting Pain Swisse or not, this satisfied. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: An unusual rendition, with a dough darker than typical and also boasting some red tint hinting at red velvet. Soft, deliciously rich, and buttery, with the chocolate having a nice melt to it even late in the morning. Salt added some contrast without going overboard as some do. -- Coffee: High in temperature, acidity, viscosity, and flavor. A good match for their baked goods. Overall, still living up to the promise of the first visit, and taking some license with the classic recipes is fine by me with their high level of execution.
