This place is the best! They import the flour from France and I can eat every single thing I want. The lavender flavor they use is amazing and my slow day go to. So yummy. Also the ham and cheese croissant is tops. I bring the croissants to people who I really like.

Each visit has made me truly fall in love with this tiny little spot that ports you back to the side streets of France. I don’t find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to “home”).
The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand.
Can’t wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

Its tough, nigh impossible for a kouign amann to be this good! They even look like a kouign amann. (I'm looking at you Tatte)
Finely executed array of patisseries on display make difficult decisions more gloriously painful.
Coffee with delicate flavors from drip - an achievement well appreciated.
Service impeccably kind and generous. Only two stools to sit, but somehow fits the feel.
Fine, French. Fantastic.

Small bakery, pretty much take out only, that’s serving some great quality French pastries! While the variety is not super large, they do everything really well! The Berry croissant had great layers and a yummy jam in the middle, but next time I have to try the almond croissants which looked great! Coffee was okay, but the pastries are really where they shine, will be coming back to try more!
The raspberry passion tart is divine! Staff were also very kind and helpful.

My coworker drives from the North Shore for these croissants and I’m glad I finally tried them. I think the almond croissant and regular croissant are very good. The apple turnover was okay. I’m sure the canele is good too, but I think mine was very slightly underbaked. Will definitely come back.
Having lived in Paris for a number of years, we believe that Praline makes the best and most authentic French croissants and pastries in the entire Boston/Cambridge area!

Their sweetness is not overpowering. The balance is awesome.

Frankly, I take my hat off to the owners. I was born in Dakar, Senegal and I have been living in the USA for a while and I have been looking for a French pastry for a long time that will remind me of all the good things I tasted during my childhood and I can say that I have finally found My Coup of Heart. I ordered the Yule log and when I came to collect it I got a Pommes turnover, a Paris Brest and a mille-feuille and 100% the taste, the presentation was all there.
