Lost Larson

About

Lost Larson is a Scandinavian-inspired bakery and cafe at 5318 N Clark St in Andersonville, about a 10-minute walk west of the Berwyn Red Line stop, with a second shop at 2140 W Division St in Wicker Park. The bakery stone-mills regional grain in house for its breads and pastries. Cardamom buns, the cardamom chocolate croissant and lingonberry almond cakes are the signatures, and a different semla comes out each week in the run-up to Fat Tuesday.
