Bakery LA is a French patisserie with beautifully made pastries in a comfortable, inviting space. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, which adds a lot to the overall experience. The pastries themselves stand out visually and feel thoughtfully prepared. Ordering is done through screens, which can feel a bit tedious, though it makes sense for how the space operates. Once ordered, everything runs smoothly. The seating works well for a bigger breakfast with family or for a quick stop, and it also functions as a solid place to sit and work for a while. The only small area that could be improved is the napkins, which feel a bit basic compared to everything extraordinary here., and of course, I love the bathrooms that are gender, neutral how great! read more

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! read more

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. read more

@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. read more

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. read more

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.

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!

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! read more

Paris meets LA vibe! Bakery LA is a new French inspired eatery in Los Angeles known for its friendly service, fresh pastries and sandwiches. Their breakfast and lunch items are reasonable price. My favorites are the French omelettes, French baguette with chicken and croissant sandwich. They use fresh ingredients and house made sauces for that perfectly balanced flavor. I also like their fresh orange juice and pistachio latte. The ambience is clean and beautiful. The abundance pastries in the display case are inviting. The pastries are freshly made by their passionate owners. The delicious crème brûlée, strawberry tart and vanilla flan are must try items. Their friendly and prompt customer service makes the dining experience pleasant. You cannot leave here without taking their award winning baguette home. This is a must try spot for brunch. read more

Didn't have English Breakfast. Everything in the case looked great. We had the mille flour (sp?). A layered pastry and took home a pistachio flan. Both were great. The flan was a little different, almost more like a brûlée or a soft cheesecake. But enjoyed both. Excellent service. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended read more

I went a friend's birthday party this past weekend, and her family ordered the cake from Baked Bar LA to celebrate the occasion. Not only was the cake absolutely beautiful, it was delicious. It was a white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream filling. The cake was beautifully decorated with flowers; they looked real. I've had pastries, breads, and other cakes in the past, and everything there is so fresh and yummy. It's hard to say which pastries are my favorite. They also have the best vegan granola I've ever had. The staff is very friendly and take the time to describe what the pastries are if you have any questions. Here are some pictures of the amazing birthday cake. I highly recommend using Baked Bar LA for baking your special occasion cakes. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is my first Yelp review ever and I'm finally writing it because I'm obsessed with Bakery LA and really want to see them succeed! First off, let's talk about the Baguette. It's simply sublime. The perfect crustiness and softness and buttery taste will make you drive across the city to get another one again and again! I don't live on the Westside, and yet, I'm here about once a week to get these addictive baguettes. After I tried Bakery LA, I started telling my friends about it and how they should come here to get a real baguette. One told me that there was another French bakery closer to us so we checked it out to see how it was. It was literally inedible in comparison. We did not finish it, and my husband now refers to the baguette-not-finished as the "badguette." We will not make that mistake again. We've also tried the macarons! Such a good selection of lots of different flavors. The galette is also perfect! And the turkey and cheese croissant, veggie sandwich, and the beef patty sandwiches are all so good. It's made with the famous crusty baguette, so it's automatically delicious. They also have a homemade hot sauce of some kind that has a sweet taste to it and it's very good. I'm looking forward to making my way through the menu. Lastly, the staff here are wonderful. They're very friendly and welcoming. And if you want to practice your French, this is the place to go! read more

Not so big of a sandwich and we were able to share and be full. The coffee's were really good-shout out to the barista. We also ordered galleta, vanilla flan, a cookie, and croissants to take home.

I was really excited to try this neighborhood bakery, especially since Artelice Patisserie doesn't sell baguettes. Given the glowing five-star reviews, my expectations were high--but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The so-called 'French' baguette didn't resemble an actual French baguette in taste or texture; it was more like a Vons sub roll. Not necessarily bad, but definitely not what I was hoping for. We also tried the cookie croissant, and unless you plan to take it home and let it set, the cookie dough inside remains raw--which some might enjoy, but personally, I didn't. While everything looks "mid", nothing really stood out, visually or taste-wise. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but overall, it didn't quite live up to the hype. read more

The service was absolutely on pointe thanks to Kaiya, Teri, and Randy. Warm, polished, attentive, and just the right amount of fun. Hubs and I split everything, which was the right move because this meal was rich, delicious, and very filling. We started with the baguette bread service, which is an additional charge but 100% worth it. The bread, salted butter, and mixed berry spread were pure France in a basket. Next up was the French onion soup, and wow. Cheesy, full of flavor, with a beautiful broth that somehow managed to be rich without being too salty. Perfection. Then came the Big Mec burger, as seen on Food Network's top burgers -- and yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype. Definitely enough for two. Perfectly seasoned patties, melty cheese, a fresh brioche bun, and that bordelaise sauce bath underneath? Flavor-forward, decadent, and unforgettable. We rounded out the meal with a slice of French toast because apparently we make excellent life choices. Also delicious, also worth sharing. This was not just lunch -- it was an experience. Will I go back? Absolument! Next up: dinner.

Got seated on the patio on a beautiful day, so we were perfectly happy. After a quick glance at the menu, our recommendations from our server, we decided to order. We started with the escargot, as one does at a French restaurant, and the French onion soup. The escargot cube bathed in butter, garlic and parsley and were very tasty. I mean, how can they not be when bathed in garlic and butter? The French onion soup was also delicious with ample gruyere cheese overflowing. Pure indulgence! For entrees, we all tried something different. The steak frites were.... steak frites. If you've tried one, you've tried most, so not very memorable. The duck confit was cooked well and not overly fatty, which was nice. The omelette, let me say, is beautiful to look at. You almost don't want to touch it because it is very picrure-esque, and absolutely cooked perfectly. A, dare I say, perfect omelette. Finally was the Big Mec. Now, there are a lot of good burgers in Los Angeles, but the Big Mec is one of the greats. So much flavor with the double wagyu patties, cheese, special sauce all while sitting in a Bordelaise sauce. It isn't something you would eat every day, as it is heavy, but it is phenomenal when you do. I'd say one of the top five burgers in Los Angeles, in my humble opinion. Overall, delicious French restaurant in Hollywood, a little above Hancock Park, serving delicious food. Get the escargot and French onion soup to start, and definitely get the omelette and the Big Mec, you will not be disappointed.

We also noticed that the dress code is very loosely enforced as there were numerous people there with T shirts on. We got there for our reservation about 15 minutes early and was seated quite fast. The hostesses at the front were quite friendly and the wait staff were attentive and mostly nice. One of our servers seemed a little curt at one point, but it wasn't too bad. Once you are seated they ask about your drink order, and offered wines, sparkling water, and literally said "tap water". Pretty surprised that they said tap water, but we went with a glass of wine and sparkling water. The menu is short and it's easy to make your decision. We went with the 24oz Prime Ribeye Steak, Pappardelle pasta, Kingfish Crudo, and the Portuguese Piri Piri Shrimp. The ribeye was served with scalloped potatoes and green beans that were delicious. The ribeye was a perfect medium rare, tender, and served in a very balanced sauce. The Piri Piri Shrimp was also great. Large pieces in a slightly spicy cream sauce; I would describe it as almost a Cajun flavor. These were my favorites of the dishes we ordered on this night. The Kingfish Crudo was a nice choice. I believe it was yellowtail served with small pieces of cherry tomatoes and peach chunks. The sauce was nice and refreshing with a little sweetness. The Pappardelle Pasta was ok, and probably my least favorite dish of the night. It wasn't bad, but wasn't on par with the rest of our meal. The thick pasta noodles were al dente, and the sauce was nice and creamy with pieces of green beans. It got better once we mixed the poached egg into the sauce, but still didn't get it to the point where we would order it again. Since it was my fiancé's birthday, she wanted to get one of their desserts served as a small birthday. She saw pictures of their passion fruit coconut cheesecake on Instagram and wanted that, but they changed it where the passion fruit was at the bottom of the cake. I thought it was decent, but not a great dessert. I thought the staff would at least sing happy birthday like other restaurants, but that didn't happen here. Overall, The Little Door is a small romantic stop to have a date night. I don't know if I would consider it a place to celebrate a special occasion though. I think we would come back, but not for anything big. Also, I would recommend using the valet, it's right in front and they only charge $14 pre tip.

You'll need to venture a little deeper into the plaza to find it, but it's well worth the effort. They were offering a pre-fix menu during our visit, which was a great way to sample a variety of dishes. The standout items for us were the ENDIVE SALAD, BURGUNDY SNAILS, 48-HOUR DUCK LEG CONFIT, and the MOULES MARINIERES. Service was a bit slow, but the food was good. ENJOY! PS: Super weird, you have to leave the restaurant and go to a security guard in the middle of the plaza to let you in to use the restroom. Parking can be really difficult.

You can really tell that the food and ingredients are super high quality! As for what we ordered: - Escargots (5/5), no notes - super flavorful and tasty standard escargots done right! - French onion soup (5/5): the cheese was nicely melted and the soup was rich. Classic choice, can't go wrong! - Duck confit (5/5): never had this before but oh man it was so good! The duck skin was light and crispy, not oily at all and the duck was juicy. The flavors shined throughout and the purées complimented the duck really nicely. Super balanced dish - Beef Bourguignon (4/5): I wanted to love this more but I think the wine sauce was too overpowering. The beef was fork tender and cooked really nicely but I just thought the sauce was too strong. Everything else was nice! - pistachio crème brulee (5/5): I was so surprised but this was so good!! Never had these flavors before but it was the perfect blend of light and airiness with a hint of pistachio! Service was standard, they give table bread which was good and fresh! Parking is tough since it's in DTLA but it was easy on a Sunday night!

Camelia

So, let's be honest. Most of us were here to take advantage of the Chase Sapphire Reserve $150…read morerestaurant credit, right? Because Camelia's is one of only like, 3 restaurants on the east side, and pretty much the only one open on Monday (which was the last reasonable day to use this credit - yes, I was panicking, along with apparently 80% of the people who were dining that day). I had made a reservation for a Monday evening for a date night, but my partner had a work emergency, and dang it, the heck if I wasn't going to use this Chase credit! So I figured, no problem. Plan B. I'll just get take out. NEWP. It was Not Allowed (TM). They said the kitchen couldn't accommodate additional take out orders on top of their load that night. I was...a bit perplexed, I guess, because I had made a reservation, so it wasn't...an additional kitchen load? Like, y'all were expecting my party of 2 already? It was..... just putting the food in the box rather than on a plate? Make it make sense. In any case. I planted myself at the bar, made some friends (solo diners who were likewise last minute panicking about making sure to use their Reserve credit), ordered enough food for me and my partner, and as it came out, I just asked them to box it up (yes, I did sneak a couple tastes in). Patrick, who was my server, was fantastic - so kind and understanding. And at the end, Blair the bartender as well as Patrick both helped me make sure my "leftovers" were all there and safely packed for a car ride. Now for the food. Amazing. We got the black sesame rolls with salted butter (SO good), the oyster mushrooms (loved all the flavors on this), the black sesame snap peas (this was nice to get because veggies, but less fun than the others - some of the other dishes just had these lovely complex flavors...this one just sort of had lots of black sesame flavor, which we love, just a bit more straightforward than other stuff). We also got the beef cheek sando that was only available at the bar (delicious and so tender, with a side of picked veggies), the Japanese bolognese (I'm not sure what was Japanese about it, but it was very tasty!), and the seabream.(tender, comes with some sort of mashed something or over that is kind of sweet, and with clams). We might come back in the future for an actual dining experience - the space is cute, and parking isn't horrible. There's valet, but also plenty of parking if you're willing to walk a couple blocks.

I came…read morehere to take advantage of my $150 restaurant credit through my Chase CC and luckily Camelia had open spots a day before they expire. Overall I thought my EXPERIENCE was solid and the FOOD was decent. Let me break it down. I'll list from best to worst. The pot pie was the standout--it came out piping hot. Medium chunks of scallops and bits of snail. Has a creamy and tart/sour taste from the lemon they serve. The bread on top was flaky. Would order again. 6 dozen oysters (during happy hour 5-6pm)--I haven't had oysters in a while, but the were the best I had in a while. They come with a yuzu type sauce and a tomato based sauce. Both were good. These next three I'll group them together as good/decent but nothing special. The mousse pate was packed with flavor, wish the bread was crispier. Spaghetti I can make this better. Burger was okay with lots of melted cheese and (I think) carmelized onions between a brioche--wish this had more in it. The worse thing was the broccolini. I'm not sure why this is even on the menu. If not for the pot pie, the food alone would be a solid 3. I bumped it up to 4 because of the pot pie, the delicious (and stiff) drinks, and the overall experience.

The Scallop Ravioli was far too salty, and the burger and fries were heavily over-seasoned to the point that we left most of them unfinished. Especially the fries tasted too salty.

The matcha latte is a must. Their breakfast sliders are incredibly fluffy, fresh, and light--I always add both avocado and bacon, and it's the perfect combo. But the real star for me? The pistachio spread toast. It might honestly be my favorite thing on the menu, even more than the sliders or the matcha. Now for the reality check: be prepared to wait. Anywhere from 30-50 minutes is pretty normal, and if you show up later in the day, there's a good chance they'll already be sold out some of the items. I got there before they opened at 8 a.m., and the line was already around the corner. LA people are professional line waiters lol. The one upside is that it's far enough east that you don't get the full 405 west crowd bcz its "too east 405" to show up... so there's that. ;))) A couple of downsides: there's no indoor seating, and the inside has a pretty strong greasy kitchen smell. Don't be surprised if your clothes smell like the restaurant after you leave. Even with all that, this is still an easy 5-star spot for me. Great food, excellent matcha, and a pistachio toast I'll happily wait in line again with the LA unemployed crowd that stresses out that they can't make it to their pilates class bcz of the long line... :))
