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 were so happy when La Saison opened during the pandemic. Supporting a small business that…read morelaunched in such uncertain times felt important, but that's not the only reason we kept going back week after week. 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.

They didn't have gelato or ice creams left at the time we went. We grabbed a tiramisu cake slice and a M&M cookie to go. Nice staff, bathrooms to the back. Cookie was the thin style and not overly sweet! Enjoyed right away on our walk back! The tiramisu was light and airy. Heavy on the coffee flavor and the lady seemed to enjoy it!

I have to go back and try other items since it was so hard to only choose two things. No seating.

They also open on Weekdays except Sunday where they have more your typical Chinese bakery goods and some fun flavors too! I absolutely love this place and the people here! Their baked goods are all so good. They're sweet but not too sweet and are light. I keep coming here weekly because I love their stuff but also coz on the weekend they like to try new things and I love that whatever they make always turns out so so sooooo good. The two bakers that run this place are so nice and they know what they're doing. They also have some staples that they always have every week. Their lattes are also so good and fun too! Delicious and fun sweets with kind and sweet bakers too what more can you ask for! I wish I had a photo of their stuff but I always eat it too fast.

The weekday experience is soo different from the weekend experience…read more Stopped here on a weekday afternoon and they had a ton of variety of buns! We wanted to try the taro bun but that seems like a popular one since they were already sold out by noon. We ended up getting a Japanese custard bun, matcha blackberry cream crusty bun, pineapple bun, and a cha shu pork bun. Japanese custard was very good. Slightly sweet and the custard was creamy. Cha shu pork bun was just okay, but it think I'm used to the Chinese cha shu pork bun and this was Japanese style. The pineapple bun had a sugar coating on top, again, it was fine. The matcha blackberry cream bun was refrigerated and surprisingly the bun quality was not affected by being in the fridge! Blackberry cream was good, not too sweet but sweet enough to be a dessert pastry. The prices were reasonable (pricier than Chinatown for sure), ranging from $2.5-$5.5. We stopped again on a Sunday morning and it's 'seedo cafe' instead of 'seed' cafe. They have a variety of handcrafted lattes (weekday only drip coffee and a couple other offerings) and the pastries are more dessert style. FYI they do not have any of their regular buns on the weekends! We were bummed but still ended up getting a variety of pastries. We tried all the flavors of the custard buns: matcha red bean, blueberry lemoncurd, rose lychee. Matcha red bean was the best, the red bean added a little texture to the custard. Blueberry lemoncurd was good but sweeter than the other two. Lastly, the rose lychee had a very distinct rose taste. It didn't suit my taste since it felt like eating a flower lol. We also tried the strawberry matcha cookies (quite heavy on the matcha and sweet) and the black sesame mochi tart. The winner of all the pastries is the black sesame tart. It's not the prettiest presentation (hence why I didn't take a photo) but it's the most delicious! We didn't get to try their lattes since we didn't know they were available, but will have to try some next time. Overall solid bakery to have in the area. Would love for them to also offer regular buns on the weekends so I can bring them to gatherings and parties but I understand it would be too much to do both.
