Its a really nice little coffee shopbakery on Division street. I visited around 11am12 pm and there was a little line to order. The venue is pretty small, so if you want to sit down, you may need to wait for a bit to grab a spot. The baked goods are delicious and the drink menu is simple but tasty and wellcrafted.

Beautiful little cafe and bakery located on division street in the wicker park area we got a matcha latte and a drip coffee, both were made to perfection. Our baked goods were buttery and flakey. Perfect place for a weekend stroll and convenient for workdays for people who work nearby!

I can always count on the pastries tasting excellent! I have been ordering from Lost Larson for years, if Im in the city I take advantage of the proximity and make pickup orders to take home and share. A bit pricey but oh so worth the quality.

Beautiful, delicious pastries. The earl grey tea cake, lingonberry and almond cake, cookies, and croissants were all stunning. I heard rumors that the limpa bread is the recipe from Swedish Bakery, but arrived too late in the day to grab a loaf. Looking forward to returning and trying more treats!
