Such a hidden gem! No better place to get matcha or Japanese baked goods. Lots of options for a wide range of dietary constraints including dairy-free, gluten-free, etc

Excellent pastries and cappuccinos. Nick and Sandy are always friendly and I love how many local families stop by. There's one seat inside but its usually a waiting area. A couple tables outside when the weather allows.

Got the Melon Pan, Chocolate Croissant, Iced Matcha Latte, and Iced Latte.
The melon pan was really good and I enjoyed the sweet crust. I just wish the inside was a bit more “cloudy”/fluffy (less doughy) like traditional melon pans. The Chocolate Croissant was amazing. Really liked the chocolate filling and the flakiness of the croissant.
The matcha latte was pretty good, but a bit too sweet. The coffee in the iced latte was a bit too acidic for my taste. All their baked goods are pretty cheap tho!

This bakery is a hidden gem. The food is fantastic, from sweet to savory. The staff is delightful. The prices are unbeatable, especially for the quality they deliver. Sometimes I find myself stopping by 3x a day, for coffee, then something savory, and then a mid afternoon treat. It’s that good! The only issue is they aren’t open every day but then again waiting for Thursday has become a tradition for us. I’d post a picture of my bakery haul but I couldn’t resist eating it 😂

Great people, great food, great everything. Shout out to the mocha latte, which is the best mocha I've ever had and actually tastes like chocolate!

I love this place so much!!!♡♡
I cannot get enough of their savory pastries. Everything is so tasty and fresh. Even when they're a day or two old they still hold up amazingly. Heat up for a few minutes in the toaster oven for maximum enjoyment.
The owner and staff are such warm friendly people. You'll want to come back even more just to support them.
I cannot say enough good things about Little L♡

Came here per recommendation of a friend and I'm deff glad I did! They offer a variety of items, from sweet to savory depending on what you're feeling like.
I ordered a chocolate croissant and a corn & cheese roll.
The corn & cheese was savory yet a little sweet and it was honestly so good. The chocolate croissant had the the perfect amount of crunch to it. You could tell both items were fresh.
I also tried their Maple Latte which I really enjoyed as well. A flavor that paired so nicely which I was not expecting!
They have a few tables outside so I got to enjoy my treats here.
They also are very allergen sensitive which is a bonus and have a ingredients quick code sign so you can navigate their items, love this!!
Check this place out!
PS. They aren't open every day, so double check their hours!

Staff were great at suggesting baked goods. We tried the egg deli roll, honey toast and the seasonal snowman. This was my first time here and I would definitely go out of my way to stop back in. The friendly service really makes me wish I could give this more than five stars.

Incredible little bakery. I stop in here often and am always amazed by the quality of the food and drinks, and by the friendliness of the staff. Great selection of both sweet and savory baked goods that are perfect for a breakfast, lunch, or snack, and their cafe drinks are great too - best matcha latte around. It really feels like this was lifted up from another part of the world and conveniently dropped into Newton.
