La Saison Bakery

The La Saison is a great bakery shop. The rose latte and Saffron latte were so delicious. Their cheesecake "Akbar mashti" was also delicious and not only packed with sugar. We got also breakfast sandwiches that were good too. I would come back again for lattes and pastries!

pistachio saffron croissant + scallion cream cheese on focaccia + halva latte are so so good!!! this bakery is a hidden gem fr!!

Sandwiches are generally available after 10 am. Egg burger with cheese is nice however, it'd be better to put some leaves. Croissants are good. They have various bakeries, chocolate cakes and rolls.

La Saison Bakery in Cambridge offers delicious baked goods and charming atmosphere. During our recent visit, we quickly fell in love with the bakery, and it's easy to understand why our friends recommended it. We can't wait to come back! The bakery features a varied menu that includes drinks, pastries, breads, breakfast and brunch options, sandwiches, pizzas, cakes, and retail items like jams. During our visit, we ordered the Arugula & Burrata Pizza and the Hot Soppressata Pizza, opting for two slices of each. Both flavours were delicious in flavour and quality. Their Sicilian-style pizza slices were selling out fast during our midday Sunday visit. All of their baked goods looked and smelled delicious and offer limited sourdough flavours depending on the days of the week. Do note, they feature minimal outdoor seating and has a small storefront which does not have indoor seating.

Got the Iced Rose Latte (half sweet), Peaflower Tea, Feta Za’atar Scone, Pain Au Chocolat, and Orange Cardamom Scone. The rose latte was spectacular! The drink was very well balanced: it was adequately strong, milky, and sweet. The homemade rose syrup tasted really good without taking away from the coffee taste. The Peaflower tea was also really good and unique. The highlight was the Feta Za’atar scone. Beware that it’s a bit salty, but I enjoyed it. The pain au chocolat was a miss imo as the dough wasn’t flaky enough and the chocolate filling tasted mediocre. The orange cardamom scone was pretty good, but nothing spectacular.

I've gone back to this bakery more times than any other place in Boston as of late, so it's safe to say that it is in my top favorites. Prices are definitely high, but there are unique menu items that you can't get anywhere else, and the staff is friendly. Would get again: - Sourdough Pizza Slices ($8.00): Available every day after noon. The roasted onion + pecorino and arugula + burrata are amazing. Took me back to Italy. One of those instances where you're paying for the quality, and it is actually worth it. The dough alone is fermented for 72 hours if that says anything. - French Deux (Vanilla Lavender) Latte ($6.40): Possibly one of the best lattes I've ever had. Both flavors shone in the drink, which was also milky and smooth. It is quite expensive but was good enough to make me want to try their other lattes. - Pistachio Croissant with Saffron Mascarpone Frosting ($6.90): Pricey but decent size, and the croissant was everything you could want: flaky, buttery, and soft. There was a delicious frangipane (with pistachio instead of almonds) throughout the center. The saffron mascarpone frosting added a salty and earthy flavor. The croissant was so perfect that I wouldn't mind getting a plain one either. - Porchetta Romana on Focaccia ($15): Huge. The focaccia was very good. Loved the random bits of Himalayan black salt. The porchetta was the element that I was most excited about, but I felt like it was outshined by the focaccia and bell peppers. Liked but wouldn't get again: - Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.50): Solid cookie. Delicious flavor and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. - Scones: All of the scones had a good consistency and were flavorful. The pear and ginger scone ($5.50) is my favorite (pros: high quality ginger that will slightly burn your throat; cons: not much pear flavor, and the glaze is a bit too sweet). The marzipan orange scone ($5.50) grew to be my second favorite. The pesto gruyère ($5.25) and feta-za'tar ($4.90) scones were okay. - Chai Chocolate Oat Cookie ($3.50): Nice balance of chai and chocolate. The center could have been softer, but it was a good cookie overall. - Pumpkin Cheesecake Slice ($6.50): Sooo thick but so delicious. Definitely something that should be portioned. - Brioche Frite ($5.90): This Sicilian-style brioche filled with vanilla pastry cream is only available on Sundays. It was quite big. The outside had a nice crust, and the filling was silky, creamy, and sweet. Even though the vanilla pastry cream was not overly sweet, the pastry as a whole was quite heavy. Didn't like: - Kouign-Amann ($5.20): This seems like one of their most popular pastries, but I didn't like it tbh. It tasted like a denser croissant—a bit dry and not as flaky or buttery. I didn't taste the vanilla sugar. - Barbari Cheese Pizza Slice ($6.00): The barbari was airy and crunchy, but I felt like this fell short as a pizza. I wanted more from the cheese and sauce because, otherwise, I could have just purchased the barbari alone. I recommend the sourdough pizzas instead. - Egg Bun ($9.50): The brioche bun with sesame seeds made this look so appetizing, but I thought it was just okay. The bun was pillowy and had a subtle sweetness. The egg was fluffy. The bacon was dry and not very crispy. The dijon mustard was lacking. The pickles were more of a side, but I liked that they were provided because the main issue I had with this sandwich was that it didn't pack much flavor or texture variety. - Matcha Ricotta Pound Cake ($4.90): The flavor of this was good, but the pound cake was dry, which is a common critique if you read other reviews. Not everything is available at opening, but if you go too late, you run the risk of things selling out or having to wait in a long line. I recommend ordering online. The pick-up station is inside, on the window sill. Small parking lot and free street parking on Sundays. No tables inside but a few outside, with an igloo tent during the winter.

The gruyere and pesto scone was out of this world good, maybe the best scone I’ve ever had, it wasn’t dry at all. Very tasty! I loved their chocolate chip cookies too!
