What a wonderful experience!A truly French Bakery!The ambience is small and cosy.The croissant is perfect with richness of real butter flavour, all those layers visible in the picture.We also had macaroons, hazelnut Opera, an almond and pear tart and a hazelnut eclair. The real chocolate flavour and richness of texture fills your mouth like any other thing i had before.I truly recommend. Its a fine French pastry lovers experience. Looking forward for the next visit!Congratulations for all the staff and chefs.

This is a great bakery! I specially like their fruit tarts, the passion fruit and pear tarts are both delicious

The best pastry shop Ive tried in this area until now. I have tried their tarts and macarons and they are of an exceptional quality compared to many other local pastry shops. I love European pastry tradition from Italy and France and I can say this is the closest it can get to that level of quality. Definitely my favorite pastry shop for now!! 😁❤️🇨🇵

I absolutely love all their stuff ! Its our go to place for their cakes, almond croissants, tarts, apple turnover and other wonderful stuff. If you haven’t already been there, you should definitely give it a try !

Everything was great. Its pricey but tasty.

Excellent desserts , very fresh and amazing taste. The raspberry mousse cake and dark chocolate entremets delicious. Definitely worth the trip ant try.

Pretty awesome! Great almond croissants and the chocolate hazelnut tart was amazing!

Made a large order and they had everything prepared that same day. Owner is very nice and so is the staff. The pâtisseries from here are delicious.

The Kouign Amani, Cannele, and Macarons were all wicked examples of the species. Beautiful execution on all. Croissant is top drawer. One of the top 3 in Boston. Get them. Early and eat them early.

Such a cool place. Incredible baked goods and some fancy foreign soda!

Amazing bakery! The look and quality reminded me of the GBBO fantastic episodes. The religieuse was just to die for and my favorite of all. The creme pat and the choux pastry were just perfection in it. The coffee opera pastry and framboisier were great too with the coffee one being my favorite.

So crazily good.

Unfortunately we dont live close to this wonderful authentic French pastry shop. But its totally worth the 40-minutes drive. Absolutely love everything there, especially the pear tart and raspberry tart. And dont miss their delicious Mont Blanc, I was told its only available in winter holiday months.

OMG, I cant believe the taste - they are so good. I ordered the passion fruit and raspberry tart, cheese and ham croissant, cannele, macarron, quiche, I like them all. They are all in high quality and with clean ingredients (taste clean and fresh). Its the best pastry in Boston area regardless the pastry type, they are the best. Ive reviewed some comments talking about the price of the pastry that leans to the high side, I literally think they can even charge for higher price regarding their taste, just purely divine.

A bit pricy but the most authentic french macaroons you can probably find in Boston. Definitely try the rose one.

I liked Praline. Ordered 3 pastries: a Mocha eclair, a Paris-Brest and an Opera pastry. All were delicious almost as good as in France. Much superior in taste and refinements to Italian and American. Plan to go back soon!

Best french pastry shop in Boston, the operas and macarons are to die for. Highly recommend!

Oh my, I love this place. The best lemon tart ever. Make sure you grab the one with meringue on top!

GREAT BAKERY WONDERFUL MACROONS !!! HAD HAM AND CHEESE CROISSANT 🥐 DELICIOUS!!! WORKERS WERE VERY VERY KIND. IM HAPPY I WALKED INTO THE 6 COLUMBIA ST CAMBRIDGE, MA LOCATION!!!! CYP AND S WERE VERY KIND.OH DONT FORGET TO TRY THE COFFEE!! CANT WAIT TO TAKE MY MOM THERE !

As good as youd find in a patisserie in France!

Awesome handmade connections and yummy crepes

I got the large mixed macaron box, large mixed chocolate box and the Madeleines. All were amazing! The macarons were the best Ive had since moving to America from Europe. Thankfully we moved close to here so it will be a weekend staple but definitely worth the drive from further afield and plenty of parking on Belmont street.

High-end patisserie shop was worth a few extra miles. Coffee opera cake was perfect. Going back to try more of their offerings.

My god, this place is delicious. I’m addicted to their lemon meringue and raspberry passion fruit tarts. My husband loves their chocolate entrement which has a light chocolate mouse and a gooey dark chocolate ganache. Great croissants: plain, chocolate, and savory. I go here every time I’m in Watertown.

We went to Praline before heading to lunch but couldnt resist buying a couple a few pastries. The almond croissant was fine but the passionfruit pastry was spectacular.There are a few seats, but only a few.

The best pastry in Boston!Good: tarts, macarons, and all that.Could be better: croissant.

Lovely place, friendly staff, delicious food and coffee options.

Heavenly good dessert!

Raspberry Passion fruit tarts are amazing!

Fine french desert! Highly recommend

The opera cake is wonderful!

Very good bakery (patisserie to be precise). Individual side cakes are very good - personally love the chocolate caramel tarte. Selection is not huge, likely a sign of the times.

The macarons my god

Delicious macarons!

Great Patisserie, feels like in France!! And Mariage Frères Tea collection😍

Place is a gem. Full of delicious temptations!

Hazelnut opera is my favorite!

Excellent everything

These macarons were the closest to the ones in France that I have had Im the U.S. The apple turnover was also perfect.

It was so worth the drive! The bakery smelled delicious. The staff was super friendly and the macrons were perfect light chewy and not to sweet just the way I like it.

Little French bakery shop. The macaroons are really above the average and one of the best around Boston. They are light yet full of flavor. The croissants are superb. The tarts both pleasing the eye and the appetite. They do have a fine craftsmanship on pastries. The little confectionaries are average but change seasonally based on available ingredients.

Great place for pastries, cakes and jams.

This place is really awesome. I drive all the way from Quincy to get stuff.My wife and I being from Morocco are used to French pastries and had a hard time finding a really good place here in Massachusetts. We were super excited to find Praliné for sure!

Excellent place to get food when in a rush. Their customer service is rapid, rates are convenient, awesome mood. Will visit here again

Amazing delicatessens and very friendly staff.

Delicious desserts. Expensive but worth it.

Every now and then you find a place that transports you around the world. Praline does that. From the moment you walk in, it’s apparent this is not just another bakery. Its a true French bakery that somehow creates a direct portal to the streets of Paris. It’s as if the love that goes into each pastry wafts through the air and straight into your nose.The staff are always so sweet and helpful too!So next time you’re wishing you could fly to Paris for a croissant, save yourself some money and just come here!Must haves-croissants-macarons-fruit tarts-Praline-also an excellent selection of imported French tea blends I’ve never seen anywhere else!!

They have the best croissants in the Boston area. The lemon merengue tart and passion fruit tart is perfect for any special desert occasion. Seriously, those croissants are the bomb! The plain one with some jam on it is perfect for breakfast.

They have the best pastry and chocolate. They carry Mariage Freres Tea (the best french teas) and Alain milliant jams if they carries the nectars (juices) my wallet would be in trouble

Delicious bakery and friendly staffs

Cute and delicious bakery. Went in to find a chocolate cake for my roommates birthday and the staff was super helpful. Needless to say my roommate loved the two chocolate desserts.

Amazing desserts at affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Best French boulangerie in MA

Best macarons i have ever had in my life!!! The praline flavored one changed me as a person. The raspberry are also very good!!

Its the best place in Belmont. I love everything there. Croissant there is not just croissant, its like little art. I recommend this place to all of my friend, especially, from Europe.

Better than in Paris!

The Pastries here are the best I have had in the U.S. They also carry Marriage Fréres Teas which are really good. Sweet Tarts looked great. The Leak Tart I split with a friend was really good.

I placed an order for mini financiers (almond flavored tea cake) for a tea party themed bridal shower I hosted in July 2016, and Sophie and her team went above and beyond to ensure I had the cakes in time. The tea cakes, themselves were delectable! Some of the most authentic French pastries and cakes I have tried in a while.I also was able to sample a few of their delicious macaroons while they packaged my order. I highly recommend them for small and large orders. Thank you so very much Sophie! My guests loved the financiers! Ill be back soon!

By far the best pâtisserie in all of Boston. As good and delicious as in France or Switzerland. I highly recommend

The place is fine.But with so many other truly remarkable bakeries in walking distance and withing 15 minutes drive, Praline is just okay.The puff pastry I last had was cooked at too high a setting, making the butter cook out - leaving the croissant a bit crunchy and dry.The kouign amann was dense and caramelized. It tasted good, but like I said, there are some great options near by.

Great french dessert place. One of few places making Canele in Boston area

Good quality bakery items and coffee selections. Friendly service. Pretty much take-out only with 2 standing areas

Simply Perfect! Thank you Sophie and staff.Delicious. Shelby Pierce, Watertown MA, 02472.

Fine craftsmanship and passion for finesse both meet in harmony at Praline. The quality is extremely consistent, with a wide array of charming, delicious, and authentic desserts. The slightly higher price is absolutely worth every cent, and I often find myself stopping in for a snack or for a beautifully presented gift for friends. 100% recommend.

A wonderful place in all ways. Some of the best baked goods anywhere. Fantastic coffee and sweets. Extremely good service.

Everything was beautiful and delicious. Rose macaroon was very floral. Owner/chef was friendly and patient.

We love this place. Their pastry is up there with Sofra, if not better. I hope they continue to get more business so they can expand their seating area. For now, it works though. Service is very pleasant.

The pastry here is to die for and the macaroons cant be beat. My husband and I havent gone to another pastry store since this one opened up! Definitely recommend anyone in the area to give this place a try. I promise, you wont be disappointed.

Delicious pastry, excellent service. I had this flaky folded pastry with cream in the middle that had dried fruits mixed in. It was one of the best pastries Ive ever had.

This is a second time that we order La Galette des Rois at this pastry.Last year, it was delicious and really met our expectations.This year, we were very disappointed, its almost if it was made by a different establishment: The dough was good and buttery enough, the main ingredient however was completely not a sucess: La frangipane, did not have any almonds or just little. there was too much eggs on the other hand which made it yellow and tasted like une cream patissiere. Also, the texture was not compact as it should be, it was like a runny paste. when you took a bit, it slipped between the dough layer as if it was a sauce!I was more disappointed when I emailed the bakery about this bad experience and did not receive any reply or apology from them.I was expecting at least a professional reply of some sort. I didnt even ask from compensation or credit.

Great little place. I had a ham and cheese crepe and latte. Both were tasty. Id go here again.

Great little bakery specializing in French macarons and tarts. Nice pastries as well. Great coffee (George Howell) , delicious pastries, seasonal specialites, crepes...I could go on and on. Just check it out. The people working there are all very pleasant, helpful, and friendly as well. I go every morning just for the coffee.

I drove for about an hour to get here on a busy Friday night for mothers day. But it was worth it. The macaroons are just wonderful.

I love their pastries, chocolate and everything is made locally. Sometimes beats the best pastries I had in France.

The best French bakery in all of Boston. The macarons the coffee the tarts the pastries - everything Ive had is delicious.

The kouign amann are awesome!

One of the best almond croissants around!

Extraordinary place with exquisite recipes. I have been to several states such as New York, Massachusetts, new Hampshire, California, and I can tell this place is #1 in the US.

Nice

Try La Religieuse and the Millefeuille - the best I had, just like in Paris!

Great cakes and macaroons. The passion fruit raspberry tart is my favorite!

A tiny piece of France in the heart of Belmont serving French pastries at their best.

Awesome chocolates, but pretty pricy

Best patisserie in Greater Boston. Thats it. Hum actually no: incredibly nice owners too.

Reminds me of my visit in France. Love the pastries here.

Delicious French pastry and drinks with wonderful proprietors.

Best French bakery love their almond croissant, macaroons, and their fruit tarts in the summer

A very nice French bakery! They have really great buche de noel during the holidays--definitely the best in the Boston area. They also have a nice selection of French teas and various sweets (including their own chocolates) and chestnut cream. If youre taking public transportation, bus 73 from Harvard comes quite frequently.

Great desserts and friendly service.

Great pastries and service!

Definitely above average quality! Now a go to spot when I want to get something special for guests (or myself!).

I love this French pastries place. I have tried their Fruit tart, Raspberry tart, Opera, and Madeleines. They are absolutely to die for. Their sandwiches and Iced Chai were delicious as well. I also love how clean it is inside. It is a bit on an expensive side, but the price matches the quality.

What an amazing place run by a husband and wife team from France. The husband is a full time bio pharma researcher who helps out on weekends.

Go for the macarons, theyre amazing!

Macaroons are amazing!

Great coffee. Everything is delicious.

Wonderful shop - everything looks delicious!

Small eating area, but the food is absolutely amazing.

Exceptional. A rare find in Belmont. Go for the croissants and pastries for sure.

Most authentically French you can find around!
