Small but amazing! Sourdough Bread is "The Best"! Ham & Cheese Croissant is out of this world! Chocolate Croissant is "too die for" Raspberry Danish is "Phenomenal"! The young lady working at the front counter this Saturday morning was so sweet, helpful and very dedicated. Love this Bakery! read more

Samples! They had samples of most things I wanted to try surprisingly. Also a small self-serve coffee station, which I think may have also been complimentary, but I don't know as I just had a cup elsewhere. I've always passed by this place thinking it was only a baking spot and they weren't selling items. Finally stopped by and they have a small selection of bread, focaccia, pastry, and coffees. The focaccia topped with tomato, onion and cheese was really good. Airy, moist, and tasty. Nice chewiness to it. Of course, oily. The almond croissant had a bit more chewiness and less crispy flakiness we like, but we try these everywhere we go and I'd say this comes in 2nd. The filling was nice (not too sweet) and somehow a bit custardy. I liked it, but doesn't yet beat my #1 almond croissant near home. Chocolate croissant was okay, but I would go with a different option if I had to choose. I give this 3 stars for the value as I might stop by again if passing by and in need of a snack when I'm not feeling particular cheap that day Lol. The slice of focaccia bread was the memorable item for us, but not somewhere I'd go out of the way for. Parking: Limited spaces right in front of the store off the main street. Might be some street parking down the side street, but did not check. read more

No customer service...No hello, no thank you...Just put the bread in a bag and handed it to me...These youngsters really need to understand the basics of customer service read more

Delicious sourdough in multiple sizes, great for small households. Pastries are excellent too. Super nice employees make it an easy good spot read more

Dropped by at noon for an almond crossiant, and wow, it's absolutely unreal. Perfectly crispy, delicate edges contrasted by a moist, almost custardy interior. None of it is trying to hard to be special and instead just relies on good technique, with just a enough sweetness to pair amazingly with a drink (although I ended up eating it all immediately by itself). It's a great value too - yes, it's $6 but it's pretty massive. This is by far the best crossiant I've ever had, and I'll be stopping back to try out their other items. Update: Came back to try a sandwich. I can see why some people say the baggettes are stale - the crust was pretty chewy, and the interior was dense. I'd say the texture much more closely resembles a sourdough than a baggette. I believe this texture isn't actually due to the bread being old, but because they're preassembled and wrapped in plastic. Still, its not a bad sandwich, and toasted up decently. It's also deceptively hefty and packed with meat, so for $10 it's a pretty good value for this area. read more

Bread Bar has so many goodies. So far I have bought bread, but next I will get the pastries. read more

Breadbar - All the bread is soooo yummy. - Bakeries Near Me - El Segundo, California

Great bakery in the South Bay, Pastries are delicious & staff is very friendly 10/10 experience would def come again.

FOOD: Awesome rustic-style baked goods and bread. I had their regular croissant, which are shatteringly crisp on the outside, and chewy and buttery on the inside. If a bakery and can make a bomb plain-croissant, they know their stuff, IMHO. SERVICE: Friendly and welcoming. AMBIANCE: A teeny-tiny store with an even teenier counter, but it's takeout, so you really don't need much more. NOTE -this is NOT a cafe. It's a bakery with a retail takeout counter only. read more

Stopped by on my way home. Friendly young lady at the register. I was only going to get sourdough bread. The bakery smell and look and feel. Just like you'd stop at a small bakery in Europe. But I ended up with a sandwich, an almond croissant, banana bread and a scone. And the bread! read more

Small shop that wows you with the amazing bread and friendly staff. The almond croissant was the perfect amount of sweet, soft and a bit of crunch with the almonds. Only con is the pricing, a tad pricey overall great place. read more

RAISING THE TASTEBUDS (5 stars + meteor shower + starlink satellites) "5 for $15 and get the 6th one free!" (It's actually 6 for $15, but the other way sounds more enticing) ... SAY LESS!!! Take my money. You had my heart when I locked eyes on the Cannele de Bordeaux from a distance. I haven't had one in many years and hoped their version was how I remembered them. Tiny, brown, sweet, hints of rum, carmelized coat with a slightly chewy and slightly crunchy outside, soft and dense on the inside, and custardy in the middle. Although I've had them in other places none hit the same. Until... I discovered the Bread Bar! They are at the Little Italy Farmers market in SD on Saturdays and at the Santa Monica Farmers market. And indeed, their version of it is PERFECT!!! Gave me an O-face and sent me to heaven. Yummy. :: Backstory :: Cannele de Bordeaux are my favorite French pastry... my favorite pastry... in the entire world. They are hard to acquire as they are not always found in the states. I use to treat myself to them at a French bakery in SF when I had one of those really good days that deserved a reward. I was quite obsessed with them. I was gifted with a set of Mauviel M'Passion Copper Molds (have yet put to use all these years to make my own but love to marvel at as a fixture in my kitchen cabinet). Can't wait to pick up my 6! read more

bread and pastries are outstanding and made fresh everyday. service is always great in the little store front they have. I highly recommend the baguettes and croissants. read more

My husband and I actually went to the El Segundo store and bought four pastries and the sourdough bread. Everything we bought was delicious. The woman who greeted us, came out of her office ( Sorry I forgot her name) was super sweet and took time to answer our questions. You need to come early to taste the wonderful goodies because they close at 2 pm. Susan read more

I would highly recommend Breadbar! The almond croissant and chocolate croissant were excellent! Fresh, flaky, & delicious! The best I've ever had! Also, when I walked in, I was welcomed with a beautiful smile and kindness. - great service & prices. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

I had driven by BreadBar several times but I was always too late (they close at 3:00). So I waited until I finally had a reason to go by when they were open. I really didn't know what to expect. I hadn't checked Yelp. BreadBar was more like my own drive-by discovery and I just had a feeling. They are primarily a wholesale bakery but fortunately they have a small case of excellent pastries. Inside you will find croissants of all types: butter, almond, ham & cheese, pan chocolate. All were nice and flaky and extremely good tasting. Then there is the bread. There was a very nice display of loaves of many types. Baguettes (sourdough and french), whole wheat, large and small round sourdough and rye. There were others as well. I selected a french baguette. It was so good! Nice chewy crust. My favorite. I was helped by a most delightful woman by the name of Jackie (I hope this is the correct spelling). She was both very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable about the bakery. In business for 15 years the yeast they use is their own and has been for many years. BreadBar are serious bakers. It shows in their bread and in their service. read more

Was good except the wait was absolutely ridiculous nobody was even at the front counter then had to wait and wait again when someone did come out... read more

We were driving by so I asked my husband to pull over so that I could see if they had any bread or interesting items to buy. I walked in and browsed for a couple of minutes. I ended up not buying anything and thanked the person at the register. She gave me a baguette on my way out, which was very kind of her. But honestly, when we tried it that night we agreed that it was a little stale and tossed it out after a few bites. Perhaps other items are better, but can't really comment on them. Three stars for the nice person at the register. read more

These guys make some pretty good breads. I picked up a few butter croissants from them at the Little Italy Mercado on Sunday. They frequent to market. The croissants were quite good, even at room temperature. I ate them on the spot as I was walking around the Farmer's Market. They had a good flaky crust and buttery soft center. They tasted very good too. The young man running the stand was friendly enough. He was a little grumpy at first because he was not ready, but when I returned about 20 minutes later he was ready to roll and in better spirits. The breads and pastries are baked in the L.A. area then sent to the Farmer's Markets over night. read more

August Stop 8 Came by their stand at the San Diego Little Italy Farmer's Market! We were lucky to find this spot for a great breakfast! Got a famous cannele and a raspberry kouign amann. The cannele was an amazing sweet snack and could probably eat a dozen of those in one sitting! They were also selling fresh bread and an olive flatbread dish that looked so good. Will be sure to try their savory options next time! read more

Came here once because I was walking by this spot after I got coffee. The worker here was very nice. I guess it was near closing time and I got a baguette and she said I can take another baguette for free! I got a croissant as well and it was decent. I didn't like their bread packaging because it had micro holes in it. I guess it keeps the bread fresh longer? The powdery white stuff on the crust of the bread got all over the car. As far as the bread goes; it was pretty fresh. It had good texture. I'd come back and try a different type of bread next time and some other of their baked goods. read more

We were excited to try their baked goods but were surprised at the very high prices of their pastries. We ended up just getting a baguette and it was so stale it was inedible. We should have read the universally bad reviews about stale baguettes. read more

Breadbar - Stale baguette - Bakeries Near Me - El Segundo, California

If you're looking for one of the best bakeries in Los Angeles, this is it. Everything is made fresh early in the morning, and the variety of baked goods is unbelievable! For taste and quality, you can't beat it. Unfortunately that means the prices are higher and they run out of their best products by midday, but to me that means you know you're getting a high quality bakery! read more

Just to warn you, this is not a restaurant like their other locations. They call this location their "bake studio" because this is the wholesale location that distributes to the restaurants. They recently opened to the public and sell sandwiches, salads, and fresh baked bread. The salad and sandwiches are ready made and have a decent selection for the small little area that they had. They had roast beef, corned beef, turkey, and a club sandwich. For salads, I was expecting green salads but what they had was quinoa, lentil, potato, and white bean salads. I ordered a turkey sandwich and a dark chocolate baguette. We also got a complimentary mini cupcake. Of course I picked the red velvet one, and it was pretty good. They used beets for the coloring and even had small chunks in it. It was moist and tasty. The turkey sandwich was also delicious. It had arugula, spicy mustard, and some type of berry jam on ciabatta bread. The mixture of sweet and spicy was a nice change for a turkey sandwich. The dark chocolate baguette and tons of chocolate chips in it. The bread itself seemed like a mix of baguette and croissant. I'll definitely be back to avoid the lunch crowds from all the other sandwich places in the area. read more

This bakery is amazing! My wife and I stumbled across this location roughly 2 weeks ago and have already been back 3 times. The ham and cheese, regular and chocolate croissants are incredible. You have to try this spot it is my favorite bakery in LA. read more

Had a family member do an online order with breadbar for a first birthday party celebration. Best experience ever! Got it delivered all the way to south orange county. The staff carefully packed the large order and sent it with decorations, a gift, and even a card!!! We felt the love and cannot believe the thoughtfulness from Breadbar and the staff. The delivery was also great. Order came in less than two days and was extremely well packaged. The bread is very fresh. Thank you breadbar for the wonderful experience and products. I will be ordering for all my celebrations and whenever I'm craving a good kouign amann! read more

We are on a road trip with our Airstream across the USA and stopping at bakeries in pretty much every town/city we stay. We loved Breadbar. I just keep thinking good thing I don't live here. I would eat their ham and cheese croissants every day. The plain croissant is so flakey and perfect. Warm it, a little butter OMG and the almond too! We also loved the sourdough baguette. We are baguette lovers all the way to France and this bread is pretty close to Those that we had in France . read more

Breadbar's Cannele's are especially fantastic. Truly a delight. An Los Angeles County must eat!

I finally tried this bakery since my friend who lives in El Segundo highly recommended. I got 4 different pastries and I love them all. There are many bakeries people likes but for me I do not like too sweet (I'm from Japan) so Breadbar is perfect! It is worth driving from Venice beach area to get those testy pastries. read more

Breadbar - Bakeries Near Me - El Segundo, California

I actually stumbled upon this gem in El Segundo among the local businesses. They make and sell a large variety of breads, danishes, and pastries in their small parking lot in front of their wholesale warehouse. Everything is fresh and prepackaged in cellophane bags or pastry boxes. Get there early because they frequently sell out, especially their gluten free breads. read more

I can't speak to any of the concerns about the parking lot -- I had my order delivered -- but I can speak to the quality of the goods. The brioche buns had such a highly polished finish to them that I could nearly see my reflection. The canelés, while lacking the crunch of the shell that I prefer, were very tasty, and are worthy of a second order. But the baguette! I put a little butter and cheese on a piece, and it instantly transported me to Paris. Tout simplement fabuleux! The customer service was great -- I got a call telling me that the pastels de nata were not up to standard, and asking me if I would like to substitute canelés. Overall, I am delighted with the quality of both the product and service, and recommend them highly. read more

This place is a very modest site. It is almost like they are not supposed to be selling any baked goods. It is just an office building with a glass display and the receptionist is there to pick out the baked goods behind the glass. At the end I ended up not getting any pastries b/c I didn't have cash. Also the parking lot is super tiny and dangerous to back out. Is it worth your effort, not really? I tried this place before because coworker grabbed some pastries a few months ago. I wish this place put in some effort but they don't. So why should you? read more

Stopped in for an almond croissant to go and it was delicious. Buttery, flakey goodness, not too sweet, it was great. Prices are average, service was nice. I have enjoyed their bread in the past as well, worth stopping in for bread or dessert. read more

I drove here because they sell gluten free breads and being that I can't eat bread because I have celiacs disease. 40 minute drive for me . We drove the distance. At a whopping $18 + per loaf it is above our budget but I can see as a treat it is worth it. Wish it was more affordable as I would definitely stock up. The quality was great and I love the concept. read more

I absolutely love this bread bakery. I only wish they had longer hours. All of the breads are made with a natural sourdough starter, which helps to keep the gut microbiome healthy. My husband and I really like the Sourdough Pullman. Their scones are the best I've ever eaten. You can ask to get any loaf of bread sliced. I'm very picky about my bread. I'm originally from Eastern Europe and we like our bread to be hand made, to be a heavier heartier loaf, and made with high quality ingredients by experienced bakers. Grocery bread doesn't do it for me. And even grocery store bakeries don't measure up. BreadBar has a lot of bread options and I'm excited to try every one of them eventually. I'd love to see BreadBar at the El Segundo Farmer's Market every Thursday. I think they would do really well there. read more

I wish I would have read all of the other reviews regarding this location being their "bake studio". Location is actually a little tiny area where they sell baked goods and breads. I ordered a chocolate croissant, ciabatta and a mini baguette. The baguette was crispy and chewy. The chocolate croissant wasn't as good. A little small and dry. Cons: parking can be tight read more

Although I'm a fan of the BreadBar in Century City, this location "a bake studio" distribution center is not the same... I got raisin croissants and an assortment of small sized muffins (banana, coconut carrot, apple bran, blueberry, chocolate chip). They really have a very small, limited selection. The baked goods were inexpensive (75cents a muffin) but it's because they're not fresh. I guess it would be okay to pick up the artisan loafs for making stuffing :P * They no longer serve sandwiches and lunches here because they don't have a permit to do so and this place is very difficult to find even with a navigator unless their sign is out... read more
