Lakon Paris Patisserie

Friends have graciously shared with me during a quick visit to Boston. It is so delicious!!! The flakiness of the pastries and the perfect capture of savory and sweet still stays with me. They certainly specialize in croissants! Although I haven’t walked in here in person, the packaging of the pastries speaks to the elegance and care that is put into baking these pastries! I’ve been so blessed!

This place is an absolute gem. We ordered a pistachio mascarpone croissant and monkey bread with double espressos. The croissant was absolute perfection! It was incredibly beautiful, with flavor to match. Delicate and rich, without being overly sweet. The monkey bread was delicious as well, though the croissant was definitely the star of the show.

Drove a few times from RI specifically to this bakery. They are running of many items very quickly. Glad that we can order some items prior and pick up on weekends. A bit on expensive side. The special croissants are great! Love their pastries too, not crazy about their cinnamon buns. Would be nice if they add more layered pastries like opera cake that offer more texture.

Got there early and it seems I just beat the crowd. Wanted to try everything in display, but had to calm myself.. Must try at any bakery is the plain butter croissant. $4.50 love the rich buttery flavor, texture however was dense rather than flakey crisp I was expecting. Pistachio croissant $9.50 heavenly pistachio creme fillings! Not overly sweet, just perfectly fluffy creme. Again the croissant seemed not as airy, perhaps it has to be heavier texture to complement all the glaze and nut toppings. Regardless it was our favorite of all we tried today. Hazelnut cube croissant $9.50 this from the photos intrigued me the most. Rich chocolate covered cube was more like a pains au chocolat than croissant. It sure was packed with rich decadent flavor but was it worth $9.50 price tag? Not quite sure. Basque cheesecake $9 creamy cheesecake with hint of sour note, but wish it were little more burnishy? Ham & cheese croissant $6 was perfect for breakfast with coffee. French roast coffee $3.25 Only 2 tables available for dining in. This location seems to work for takeout only, and parking is scarce.

Wow these croissants are amazing and I can see why they are viral. Ttied the chocolate hazelnut cube, pistachio, chocolate and egg croissants. We got there 5 minutes before it opened on a Saturday and there was already a line. I will definitely be back to try the other flavors.
