About LA SAISON
La Saison began in Tehran in 2007 as a small pastry kitchen rooted in craft and curiosity. Founded by Soheil Fathi, it grew into a beloved bakery and chocolatier serving hundreds of businesses across the city.
In 2017, Soheil and his wife, Sarah Moridpour, brought La Saison to the United States — beginning again, this time in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What started as a leap of faith became a new chapter shaped by resilience, migration, and community.
Today, La Saison serves both Cambridge and Charlestown, continuing to grow thoughtfully while staying rooted in craftsmanship and connection.
Bread & Belonging
We believe bread carries memory.
Across cultures and generations, bread has always brought people together — at tables, in homes, in moments of celebration and survival.
As immigrants and entrepreneurs, we understand what it means to start over. That experience shapes how we bake, how we serve, and how we build community.
La Saison is not just about pastries and cakes.
It is about creating spaces where people gather, connect, and feel at home.
There is something powerful about broken bread. It is never meant to stay whole. It is made to be shared — passed hand to hand, divided at a table, offered as a gesture of welcome. Across cultures and histories, breaking bread has signified trust, hospitality, and the beginning of connection. At La Saison, we carry that symbolism with us. Every loaf we bake is an invitation — to gather, to pause, to belong.
Our Pastry Chef
Soheil Fathi was born and raised in Tehran. His journey into baking began in his home kitchen and evolved into multiple retail locations and a full-scale pastry brand in Iran.
After moving to the United States, he refined his craft further before reopening La Saison in Massachusetts — blending technical precision with creative curiosity.
His approach combines engineering discipline, artistic intuition, and a lifelong fascination with flavor.
Community
We are committed to thoughtful growth and community engagement. We partner with local organizations and shelters, and we believe businesses should contribute meaningfully to the neighborhoods they serve.
Our Team
La Saison is powered by bakers, baristas, managers, and creatives who care deeply about what they do.
Every croissant, every cake, every morning opening reflects the hands and hearts behind it.
