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!

Saw all the hype on social media about Lakon and had to try it. I am not going to lie I was…read moredisappointed in the croissants. All things given it was good, but considering the $9 price tag I don't think it was great. The pistachio flavor didn't give off a real natural flavor and the croissants themselves were ok. They weren't as soft and flaky as I've had at others for cheaper prices. It's worth trying but not my favorite

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.

To preface my review, I have been to the other 2 locations in Belmont and Lexington multiple times…read morewith various group sizes 2-12 and those experiences were positive. Unfortunately this one started off on the wrong foot and ~40 minutes late in favor of a private party with an earlier reservation. They let the person who made the reservation know 4 days before our event of the change needed from 1pm to 1:30pm when we planned this back in October. We communicated the extreme inconvenience as some people needed to leave by 2:30pm sharp as we planned activities after in our schedule. The Vintage Tea & Cake Arlington staff refused to let our group and others in until 1:40pm even though the owner Adel reassured that we would receive prompt service. We watched them clean up the baby shower at 1:30pm while we waited in the cold. One of the guests in our party popped in to check the status and was admonished to continue waiting. Once they allowed our aggrieved party in the staff were professional. As there are multiple locations, Adel was not on site for us to address the issues directly. We communicated the menus we would order including group dietary restrictions in hopes this would save time upon arrival. 30 min into the seating the staff did bring our complimentary champagne for us. It was a nice gesture but unfortunately half of the group does not drink and one member was under 21. The tea and food itself seemed consistent with the other locations I've tried. The tea pots we received were large and partly due to being rushed no one in our group finished our pot. Half the group also took to go boxes. We departed by 2:40 pm. The staff were friendly and took nice group photos. This particular experience in Arlington fell short from our expectations. I'd recommend building in more buffer if you need to accommodate private parties to turn over the tables for reservations. Other logistics to consider: - Location is downtown so immediately in front is street parking there's also a municipal parking lot around the corner - Avoid making plans in 1.5 hour window after as they may not be able to honor the original reservation conditions from our experience.

Really, really tasty!…read more As an avid jambon beurre connoisseur, I must say theirs was one of the best I've had! Tender shaved ham on a soft, crusty baguette with high quality butter, cheese, and yummy cornichons. Nearly perfect, but if I am being picky, I'd prefer a cheese with a little more nutty Swiss cheese flavor. That being said, everything else being absolutely spot-on more than made up for this! We also tried the Basque cheesecake and it was very yummy! It was decadent and rich in flavor but light and delicate in texture. The sesame orange cookie had an amazing flavor as well. All around, happy with everything we ordered and would be happy to go back to try more. :)
