    I absolutely loved Bakery LA! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully made. The employees were so accommodating, kind, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    The flans were esp amazing. Loved the pistachio flan and latte. I didn't think I even liked pistachio but I'm definitely convinced now. Everything was fresh and super tasty. The homemade sauces were so good too. Love how everything had a French flair.

    A big croissant.

    Was walking down Pico and saw Bakery.LA so I stopped to see what they had. There was a large assortment of pastries. I decided to get a croissant. (I'm not supposed to eat too much sugar.) The croissant was very big and very good. For those who may be looking for a nice place to sit awhile there are many nice places to sit at Bakery.LA. While there I noticed Bakery.LA was winner of the Los Angeles Best Baguette contest. The next time I am there I will get a baguette.

    Very good French bakery. Nice service. Tasty food. I got Americano, it was good. Street parking only. Interior design is very good. Highly recommend their croissant sandwiches.

    I've been to Bakery LA a few times now and I honestly can't say enough good things. Everything I've tried has been sooo good! The pastries are always fresh, super flavorful, and just hit every time. You can tell they really put care into what they make. Also, the owner and everyone working there are seriously the sweetest. Every time I come in, I'm greeted so warmly and treated with so much kindness and respect, it really makes a difference and keeps me coming back Make sure you check them out ASAP!

    @bakery.la_ : you hold a special place in my TART! As someone who's tried so many LA brunch spots, I was actually so impressed by the newest location of this Paris-based brunch joint. Their diverse menu features handcrafted French pastries, artisanal bread (including baguette, which was awarded LA's best in 2022), hearty brunch dishes, and freshly served cafe drinks, which were all extremely reasonably priced (especially for LA). Service was very nice, but I would definitely be patient since the restaurant is new, and my table and several other parties had orders that were mistakenly delivered or charged (which the staff immediately fixed upon bringing it to their attention). Definitely check out this spot for some of the BEST and most affordable brunch/cafe dishes in West LA!

    A very nice breakfast and brunch place in LA. I went on Sunday and the meter parking around the restaurant is free! They have very good bakery, both sweet and savory. I think the croissant is very nice. Smoked salmon salad is also very fresh. Quiche is delicious too and it's quite European style I barely found it here. The servers are very friendly. They have spacious seatings. There was a fly bugging my table but maybe that's unavoidable for the weather here.

    I guess ordering at Kiosk and getting charged a convenience fee is a thing nowadays. Walked in and the lady was very friendly. We clicked thru menu and read thru the details of items, and just order at the kiosk. Saw the little question mark next to taxes and fees and i clicked on it, letting me know they are charging a convenience fee. Oh well. Staff did say she's around if we need anything. BF ordered avocado toast and I ordered Croque Madame with a latte. I liked my food, was surprised there was caraway seeds in the sourdough. But BF was not happy about the portion of his avocado toast. This is same spot as Einstein Bros Bagels and Corner Bakery (which we did not even get a chance to visit before it closed). Quite and open space, much nicer place to hang out than Starbucks for sure. Combined rating for the two of us is 3 stars for our first visit, but I am sorta interested to return and try their pastries one day.

    Iced Latte
    Winn H.

    Bakery LA is one of those places that have coffee that I hadn't visited. I was excited to try out the iced coffee here, but the beans did not leave a good impression on me. Coming on a Sunday morning, though, parking was fairly easy to find. Service was fairly quick for a quick grab-and-go. In the future, I may consider giving them a second chance with some of their pastries.

    Macaroons
    Jim V.

    A nice bakery in West LA that just opened. I was in the area getting services for my dog and found them next door. I ordered some cookies for the vet and team and ordered myself some macaroons and pistachio flavored desserts. Macaroons were good 5/5, nice crisp shell and flavors inside were good, not overly sweet. Definitely something to grab when visiting! Will have to try other options when next time in the area!

    Pistachio Latte
    Zerica M.

    They have a decent assortment of pastries and other goodies. I tried the veggie omelette with a pistachio latte. The omelette was tasty and the latte was ok however it is a bit pricey for what you get. Usually with veggie meals cheese is included however the cheese was an additional charge. I was also surprised that a small pistachio latte was $8.00.

    Chicken sandwich!
    Sarkastodon F.

    Wow, simply the best chicken sandwich in Los Angeles! Who would've thought you'd find it at a French bakery. All the pastries are made fresh daily and delicious! The best French brunches in LA customer service is excellent and the venue is super comfortable and clean. Je adore!

    Chocolate Almond Croissant
    Jessica G.

    Brand new legit French bakery in town! Accidentally found it on Yelp and certainly it didn't take me long before I paid my initial visit. All the attendants were super sweet and it's not a rare view seeing they served people in French as well when I was there. They also mentioned that the owner had everything sold there baked in house. Plenty of seats available and it's not overly crowded, making it perfect spots to get work done. Street parking also wasn't hard to find on a Sunday noon. Bunch of options were served, from pastries to cakes to made-to-order sandwiches. As I went for quick munch, I tried their Chocolate Almond Croissant, which you might have correctly guessed, yes Pain Au Choc with extra happiness added from almond paste and that crunchy almond layer on top. I loved how theirs having the almond paste being so generous and came in right thickness as some usually bit too thin. The pastry base itself was greatly fragrant as well despite not reheated when served. Could be my new to-go!

In a not very obvious area of DTLA, next to Urth Cafe but no other restaurants. We didn't have reservations so we had the option of sitting at the bar or following the waitress to a back room area instead of the front room that is visible to everyone. My son is a minor, so to the back we went! Seriously, the closer we got to the back room the more I felt I had been cast in "The Chef." Scary! Lol! The back room is black. Blackout black! Black tablecloths, walls, chairs, dark, low light. Very luxurious and open space. Which - because it wasn't full at the time - felt a bit like being in the film, The Menu." A bit too upscale and empty to feel comfortable. More guests arrived later, a large table, so that was more comforting. The food: Recommended *Kara Kara Tamales: braised oxtail with a peanut butter sauce. Wow! The taste was wonderful! Hard to explain but Filipino/African food meets Latin food. It was on the "shared plate" menu, which to me means it will be a lot. But the 2 tamales were not very big. Still, they were so rich that the 2 really were sufficient to share. Quite filling. I couldn't get enough of the sauce! *Crab fried rice: Very tasty and generous portion. Plenty share! Not recommended: The street eats menu. Now, this is what pulled us in - the sights and smells of the food being grilled outside the restaurant. Most of which was on this meme. Like a tasting menu. But for price to portion ratio, it simply isn't worth it. I ordered the skirt steak. 4 oz, cut in half. Cooked down to what looked like .5 oz! Each on a toothpick sitting in a paper plate (or maybe it was cupcake holder?) IDK. I just know it wasn't a good presentation and the taste wasn't memorable. Regular. More grill smell than taste. Not at all worth $8. Service: Really nice. And mostly good. Though they did fail short by (1) Using only small appetizer size plates and (2) Not bringing a fresh plate to eat the crab fried rice on after the peanut butter sauce laced tamale appetizer was eaten. The server brought the fried rice, but didn't bother to give us fresh plates (nor silverware). My son was mortified when I grabbed a plate from one of the empty tables! (Teenager energy on full effect). But after initial attentive service, the variety of different servers whizzing by didn't stop to ask if we needed anything. And I sat waiting at least 8 minutes staring at the rice. I assured my young man that the servers would be fine with me getting another plate to save them from having to. And once I did, he suddenly started eating from my plate of my peanut butter free fried rice. And of course, when a server did attend to us and I let her know, she was glad I took matters into my own hands instead of not eating for 15 minutes. Thoughts: Go for dinner, and order from the full dinner menu, skip the skimpy street eats menu. With reservations you can sit in the main restaurant area that has some view to the outdoors. Without it - back to the black room you go! Know that it will be expensive. And it will be original. Not sure I'll go back. It's very "special occasion" upscale dining. But If I do it'll be with reservations. The meal was memorable and worth experiencing.

The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that.

The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Parking: there's valet and several of lots but watch out for the $5 small print. I went 2 blocks up by the residential area and was able to find parking on a Saturday around 12pm. For drinks, i had a classic Aperol Spritz, which was very nice and refreshing. But I had to try Florida Man because of these ingredients (blueberry rested Ilegal mezcal, Lo-Fi vermouth, lemon, African basil). They have a really good beverage program, and I would like to come back more for drinks and try the Bro over Tomatoes. For food, I got the pop over benedict, honestly, I didn't know what I was expecting because I was assuming a regular benedict, but it was the most beautiful presention and delicious hollandaise sauce i've ever had in my life! The hollandaise has a little spice to it that blended well with the creaminess. I also had that barbecue oysters, which is basically oyster rockefeller. I really how they have fun names of their drinks as well as their food. The service were absolutely delightful. My server made me laugh. When I asked him, what should I get between one or the other drink, and he suggested, why not get one after the other which made me chuckle. A definitely a great sales person.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I really loved the overall feel of the restaurant. The food was delicious, with a few hits and misses for my personal taste. The honey butter cornbread was absolutely delicious, and the quinoa with snap peas was another favorite--so fresh and flavorful! The baguette for the barbacoa sandwich was a little too hard for my liking, and the chicken was slightly dry for my taste, but the flavors were still really good overall. Definitely a great place to experience if you're in the Arts District and looking for something a little more elevated with that rustic, farm-to-table feel. I'd come back to try some of the other dishes!. Service was good as the food came out pretty quick.
