My husband and I got married in October of this year, and are still hearing from guests how good the desserts were! Not only did we luck out by having a great pastry shop right in Dedham Square, but Rachel and Elias were so awesome to work with. We pretty much tell everyone to go to La Luce. Also the ham and cheese croissants are so good! We got 3 cakes the night of our rehearsal dinner and all of the guests loved them. Elias customized mini pastries and even made new flavors (ginger and pear!) for us. Try the middle eastern specialties, they are such great additions and incredibly flavorful! read more

Very friendly staff. Loved the raspberry muffins and creampuffs. Will return to try the Middle Eastern meat pies.

For the most part the pastries are very good and so are the cookies and biscotti. There were a few items in the case that looked like they'd seen better days. Everything we ordered was very good read more

The savoy croissants are really good, muffins are HUGE. The seven layer bar is my favorite. The lemon square, however, is really disappointing. They used to do a croissant pizza that was BOMB. read more

Best muffins around!! I have visited Elias and his delicious bakery on numerous occasions and his baked goods are outstanding. He is open at 7am and the place smells heavenly! I have also ordered cakes and cupcakes. The red velvet is delicious and sinful!! He just stated making crepes... my next order!!! Located in Dedham center just close enough to work! Yay me!!! read more

This is a fantastic little gem in Dedham! We have always loved the warm and delicious blueberry muffins on Saturday mornings, right out of the oven. But I am writing this review based on the pink butter Valentine's Day cookies I ordered through a fundraiser at my son's school. These cookie were absolutely unreal - so delicious, baked perfectly with so much flavor. I only wish I had ordered more. Now here's the best part: La Luce is donating a portion of the proceeds back to my son's school's PTO. Kudos to the owners for supporting local education and also for making these amazing cookies! read more

FABULOUS, just fabulous. Elias is a maestro of the culinary arts. First authentic croissants I have had back in the US. Flaky and delicate...yummy...just like in France. Any and all who live or travel through Dedham should have La Luce on the regular stops for baked goods and decadent desserts. Located right on Dedham Square. read more

Excellent pastries! Try the apple turnover. So delicious! Love that they do crepes made to order as well.

Stopped in to grab an assortment of cupcakes last minute before a birthday dinner. I chose the coconut, hostess, peanut butter and raspberry vanilla cupcakes and all were delicious! I will definitely go back. read more

Around the corner from my office, hidden jewel. Blueberry Muffin was scrumptious. Center of town, clean, friendly staff and aromatic. Will return. read more

Elias, the owner/chef, is a master. Just when I thought quality patissierie was gone from metro Boston, I found La Luce in Dedham Square. His cakes are fantastic. read more

I stopped in here for a coffee and a croissant with my mother as we waited for a local event. It was the best croissant I have had since being in France. Delicious! I have the card and will certainly be ordering from this shop. The owner was attentive and we will be back! Thank you for a lovely morning coffee!!! read more

Satisfaction is your #1 priority. The place is so clean. They started making crepes, and they are so delicious. Presentation, quality, service and its a small business. Highly recommend. The owner is so nice. My daughters loved the crepes, very kid friendly. We will come back. read more

A piece of secret in the neighborhood. Fresh baklava on weekends, great cupcakes, reasonable price, wonderful owner and staff. Must try!

A big choice of the finest pastries including French, Middle Eastern and American sweets. The Bakalawas are crunchy, five stars to the traditional Christmas Buche de Noel and delicious cup cakes at an affordable price. read more

I love this pastry shop. Amazing treats and a nice selection. The only thing that would make it better, would be if they sold bread. I highly recommend the Oreo cupcake. read more

Oh My Goodness you have to try the croissants! I had the egg and sausage croissant today and I am in heaven! I am contemplating going back today. I want to come back and try the crepes too. I have been getting their desserts for special occasions since they opened and things only continue to impress. I just cant get over quantity and quality of the selection! Attention to detail is incredible. read more

EVERYTHING (okay everything I have tried here which is A LOT) is PERFECTION. Muffins, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and the croissants!!! My personal fave is the spinach & cheese croissant. Yum! Every time I am in Dedham I must stop in for some deliciousness. I know, I know, the calories are high. Just walk a few extra steps that day. BUT if you are going to indulge, do yourself a favor and indulge at La Luce; I guarantee that it is worth every bite! Pastries make great gifts, too! read more

My fiance and I happened upon this pastry shop after grabbing a bite down the street. I'm so glad we did! We had our upcoming engagement party just a few weeks away and hadn't yet ordered a cake. Long story short, the cake was even more delicious than it looked! Everyone at our party loved it. It was exactly what we asked for and it was THE best cake I've ever had. Thank you so much!! read more

La Luce Pastry Shop - Bakeries Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Amazing pastries that cover everything to from the basics (blueberry muffins) to more unique and savory croissants and crepes with a slight middle eastern orientation. Plus amazingly lovely and charming owners and staff. I've tried just about everything there and you just can't go wrong. read more

I was called for jury duty and a colleague recommended La Luce for lunch since it is just down the block from the Court House. I'm glad I followed her recommendation! La Luce offers savory crepes for lunch. I had the ham and gruyere cheese crepe. The crepe was freshly made. I was outstanding. It is also quite large (12 inches in diameter) so it was filling. That being said, I was able to find room for a delicious slice of chocolate mousse cake for dessert. If I worked in Dedham Square I'd be here everyday. I can't wait to return. read more

I came here because it was recommended by someone and I really wanted to like it given all the high reviews here but it was just ok. The tiramisu cake was dry and not creamy. I was maybe thinking I received the wrong item. The cupcake was just ordinary. The almond croissant was good. read more

I stopped in this lovely little shop on my way home from work for a few treats. I got 3 cupcakes (chocolate, carrot, and toffee), all were super moist and the frosting was excellent!! Not gonna lie, I ate 2 out of the 3 before I got home...I forgot the name of it, but I also got a little shortbread cookie that has some sort of fruit in the middle, so sooooo good. Overall I had a great experience here and I will most definitely go back to try some more treats! read more

I love this bakery. I visited La Luce with my wife one morning thinking of having a coffee and bagel across the street. When we saw this gem we could not resist buying half the pastries in the display. The husband and wife owners are super. The espresso and the cappuccinos were great! They have a real professional machine that makes the coffees like the coffees I enjoyed in Italy. And of course I have to rave about the in house hand made pastries. Delicious and unforgettable. Can't wait to go back again and again and again. Try it, try it, you will like it Sam I Am. read more

Awesome croissants and savory pastries. Looks like they have great cakes,but someone with a sweeter tooth than mine will have to weigh in on those! read more

Amazing chocolate Oreo cupcake. Deep moist chocolate cake topped with vanilla Oreo frosting. Why go to those overrated boutique cupcake stores When you can buy the best cupcakes, croissants Biscotti and more. read more

Drove out to pick up cannolis on the way to the airport. Thought it would be better than fighting the traffic and crowds of Mike's Pastries. Disappointed they didn't have the large cannolis. My grandkids loved the m & m cookies. I got the small cannolis, some biscotti, and an apple turnover that I haven't tried yet. They look delightful. read more

You will be shocked to see the selection of pastries created in this small shop! You can tell that baking is a passion. The owner will often come out to chat with the customers - old fashioned bakery with an incredible selection right in Dedham Square. Amazing eclairs - airy, custard-y, and topped with a chocolate butter cream frosting. My kids love lobster tails, which we'd find in the North End. Just as good, if not better right in Dedham Square at La Luce Pastry Shop! read more

This place is bommmmmmb! My favorites is the croissants !!!!!! Reminds me just like back in lebanon if not even better! Everything is good. Great service! Highly recommended read more

Best carrot cake cupcake I have ever had. Super friendly staff. Will be back for sure to try more of their yummy desserts.

Found this place on Yelp when I was looking for somewhere to get dessert near Legacy Place; I'm not usually in Dedham so I'm not familiar with the area. I'm so glad we came in! Elias, the owner, is very friendly and helpful and said that they will pretty much make anything you want if you bring in a picture and a recipe/ingredients you want. The shop has all of the traditional desserts you'd think of as well as cannolis and lots of Lebanese dessert items. He also has several local Lebanese shop owners in the Salem, NH/Methuen, MA area who buy desserts from him regularly so if you're looking for a specialty item and don't want to trek to Dedham you can call him to put in an order and see who in your area could bring it up for you. We came here with my family and tried: raspberry tart, Key Lime pie, Princess Helena cake, everything bar, cheesecake bite, knefe, and znoud el sit. They were all delicious! We especially loved the everything bar and the cheesecake bite. Both were rich and baked perfectly. I was very impressed with this place and will definitely be seeing them again in the future! read more

so glad to see the other enthusiastic reviews because i am rooting for this little store...the crepes are delicious and the owners are charming although the other pastries i have had were more gooey than flavorful. The decor doesn't seem to match the food, however, and i think they would do well to step it up a notch, maybe make it more colorful and stylish so that it feels like a place you want to linger and return to, rather than just in and out. That said, it's a great addition to the square. read more

I had an apple pastry and it was amazing! All the pastries and desserts look amazing! The people were super friendly ! I'll be back :)
