Sometimes they do not have what I am looking for as they sell out early but thats alright as always find something new to try. The place is very small so you may find yourself waiting outside for a bit on certain busy days. A nice hidden bakery I think ppl should experience. They have some good holiday foods, something different each day. But again go early

Seriously, one of the best bakeries in Boston period. There is always a line, but once you try…read moretheir pastries you instantly see why. Their menu is full of authentic bakery staples at reasonable prices. Also, the service is fantastic. Everyone is friendly and efficient despite the long line. I tried their pretzel croissant which was one of the best croissants I've had in a long time. The flakiness was impressive while it retained the strong taste of a traditional pretzel. I'm simply amazed. Also, their iced latte was pretty good! I got their seasonal Lavender Latte which was refreshing and strong. It didn't have that perfume-y aftertaste that often comes with floral flavors. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed and only wish I lived closer to be able to come more often.

Wow! This place is a hidden gem. They offer an incredible variety of fresh, high-quality options. I…read moreloved that they had both savory and sweet selections, so there's something for everyone.

I came here with 2 friends to work from home and we had a great time! I can attest it's a solid spot to WFH. They have one large (more communal) table which is where we sat, as well as a handful for 2 seaters for folks to either sit alone or across from a friend. Clearly a lot of people come here to WFH, but you can't blame them. The WiFi is free and we didn't experience any disruptions, there's great lighting in addition to the natural light from their floor to ceiling glass walls, and the music is so good here. They were playing all 2010s indie, pop, and alternative hits. We all loved it. I ordered a decaf iced latte with Carmel and it was delicious! A bit on the pricey side, but it is what it is. :) My friends got a sandwich and also tried their coffee and really liked it too. We will be back!

I called ahead to make sure they still had some (they sell fast!) and I was told there was only one left, but they can set it aside for me. The employee, Faye, who answered my call and so kindly set aside the pastry for me, greeted me at the door and had it packaged for me all ready in a box! So sad to leave Boston and the monkey bread behind, but so thankful for a great last experience at Lakon.

The display in the front with all the figurines and product samples is the cutest thing you will see all day. Although their Kuromi Bun had a nice (not too sweet) custard filling, the bread itself was a tad too dry. We also got their Shio Butter Bread which was the better choice. We happened to get a freshly baked one which was fluffy and melt in your mouth delicious! Also, it must be said that their service is A+. Their staff are truly such kind folks - always smiling and making friendly conversation with their customers. Turns out they were testing a new dough for the Shio Bread so they even gave us one on the house to try. The kind gesture was very sweet and much appreciated!

Imagine my surprise to find out that we have a specialty bakery here. These people are so smart. They knew all they had to do was make this one thing absolutely perfectly. And they absolutely do!

They have several locations, so when I happened to walk past their flagship store in JP I decided to stop in and see what all the buzz was about. The store itself is quite small but when you first walk in they have a large selection of jelly and jams and olive oils for bread dipping. Then comes the bread - oh so many different flavors! I decided to get a fall-themed loaf and asked the staff member which he preferred. Ended up getting an apple cinnamon loaf based on his recommendation. They slice the loaf into snackable slices for you, which I appreciate. I thought I'd have one slice while walking home but ended up eating 30% of the loaf (oops!), it was just that good!

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 came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

Always love Tatte! I mean, what's not to love they have incredible coffee, tease, bakery items, and…read moreso many great dishes. Walking into a Tatte is like warm hug, it's a positive, welcoming, and bright environment to be in. All of the cafes are so aesthetically pleasing and get a lot of natural light. This location does have some indoor seating, but is a bit more limited than some of the other locations. They do have a lot of outdoor seating though. It's also a great area to walk around if you get your coffee and or pastry to go. It of course gets busy at peak times on weekends and morning during the week. Brunch is big at Tatte, and rightfully so. I don't think it's the best place to try to work, but you can bring a computer in do some work or study, but it can also get loud when there's lots of conversations being held. I've had great interactions with the staff at this location and even when it's busy, I haven't had to wait too long to get my order. I've been loving the pumpkin spice tahini latte this fall. Looking forward to my next stop in!

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.
