    First stop after landing in LA! Ordered a cold brew & some pastries. Croissant, kouign amann & spiced lamb yogurt danish. flavorful, flaky and fluffy! Cold brew hit the spot. we got it to go and it was quick. Nice spot for a quick pick me up

    Meant to leave a review earlier this year but better late than never I guess! This place has amazing pastries like genuinely so delicious. The pistachio cream danish is so good. It was giving more natural pistachio vs artificial pistachio and it wasn't too sweet which I loved! The matcha was phenomenal as well. Sat and talked it up with my friend on a lovely weekend morning by the tables outside. Genuinely such a lovely spot. 10/10 would recommend and will be going back!

    Sweet! Now this is a spot that lives up to the HYPE! We got there a bit later in the morning and had to wait in a small line. The pastries were fantastic, gooey, flaky, fresh, authentic and house made. I would love to visit again if I was in LA. I got a variety I split with my brother and enjoyed them. Our favs were probably the Passionfruit or the Elderflower Rubarb. If you have never had fresh, non industrial/store-bought croissants these are going to rock your world. The prices and freshness are fantastic. I expected to pay more than what we did and these are reasonably priced. There isn't really a lot of parking so be prepared to park elsewhere. The inside is small and fills up fast and there isn't much seating inside or out. They have other things like matcha and other items as well. I encourage you to try a few items as some were better than others, but I have no major complaints!

    5/27/2026 BUTTER CROISSANT Ate it the next day and doctored it up with melted butter, honey, and salt and toasted it in the oven for even more buttery goodness. The croissant was even flakier and the inside layers were still slightly soft and just perfect, even the day after! Deeelicious! HAM & GRUYÈRE CROISSANT (Butter croissant rolled with slices of ham and Gruyère cheese) It was good, wish there was there was more ham & gruyère inside. Nonetheless, the croissant was the star! It was flaky, buttery, crispy perfection! Having said that, get the butter croissant instead! TRIPLE PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Deliciously dark chocolatey! Flaky, buttery, crispy croissant, what more could you want? Loved it with a cup of coffee! Better when you toast in the oven! ORANGE BLOSSOM ALMOND CROISSANT (Crispy twice baked croissant filled with light and silky almond cream studded with bright candied orange pieces, and a smooth, floral orange blossom pastry cream) Flaky, crispy croissant with beautifully floral, full orange blossom flavor! This croissant was beautifully done! I haven't had a pastry that honored orange blossom like this! The almond cream comes through alongside the orange blossom, which complemented each other wonderfully! I love elevated croissants like this! It makes me happy to come to Fondry, knowing they can deliver on all their baked goods! PASSIONFRUIT CROIFFIN (Croissant x Muffin; filled with bright, tangy passionfruit curd, and tart, bouncy passionfruit jelly, topped with a very vanilla chantilly cream) They did not hold back! This was a passionfruit flavor bomb! Sooo good! They did not hold back! The croffin was crispy outside and flaky soft inside. The passionfruit curd was flowing out of the croiffin as you cut it open! Passionfruit heaven! The vanilla chantilly cream was also excellent in flavor! It was so good, I went back to get another! TOFU CLOUD CROISSANT TOAST (Crisp and sweet miso honey butter toasted croissant topped with a cloud-like sweet tofu cream) Crispy, crunchy, deliciously toasted croissant. Can taste the miso and the croissant tasted like burnt caramel. The tofu cream was fluffy and sweet, like whipped cream, but fluffier! The bottom layer tasted like almond frangipane. Such a delight to eat! I regretted not getting a second one! Beautifully done! BLACK SESAME PARISIAN FLAN Not good. Tart was crispy on the outer layers, but underside was soft. The black sesame flavor was there, but it was a muddled flavor, not a clean toasted black sesame flavor. The flan texture was a bit gummy and a bit dense too. FYI: There were some brunch items you can order in person before 11:00am. ONLINE ORDER Encouraged to order online and order in advance if you want specific pastries. I went in person to order on Wednesday morning. There was no line. CUSTOMER SERVICE Smiling and friendly, helpful and welcoming! Staff was amazing and it felt as though you were walking into your neighborhood bakery! My second visit at Fondry has been even better than the first time! PARKING As always parking is sparse on their lot. Come on a weekday if possible and before 11:00am if you want to grab a parking spot on their lot. Came on a Wednesday at 10:30am.

    Chorizo Quiche: Delicious!! Fluffy and flavorful. Had good proportions of chorizo, potato and cheese so that it wasn't too heavy but just filling enough. Ham and Gruyere Croissant: Fluffy, crispy, airy croissant. Kind of a basic ham and cheese but the croissant makes it a worthy breakfast choice. Iced Honey Latte: Regular iced coffee, nothing special. Would not get a drink again and focus on the yummy pastries which are more worth the price imo. Parking/ ambiance: there is a small shared lot and street parking. There is outdoor seating area which is very cute but quite small. The inside itself is also small with no seating, so plan accordingly when considering to dine there vs take to go. Service: Polite/typical. Was fast for how busy it was. Overall a good breakfast choice, especially considering the variety of pastry options!

    Fondry honestly amazed me! Every single pastry we tried was perfectly made. My favorite was definitely the kouign amann which is kind of like a croissant, but sweeter, richer, and a little more dense. I also loved the mushroom bechamel danish. It was super flavorful and surprisingly filling. For drinks, I got the MVP (matcha vanilla pistachio) and it was delicious too. Overall, such a great bakery that I'd definitely recommend checking out! They have a small parking lot, and if it's full, there should be plenty of street parking nearby (at least when I went right around opening time).

    Came early on a weekday morning and the wait/line wasn't too bad! :) Ham & Gruyère: Classic and delicious. It really hit the spot as we had Fondry for a light breakfast. The ham is rolled up and in the center of the croissant, so make sure you bite into it lengthwise to get the ham and cheese all together. Fantastically savory!!! Elderflower Rhubarb: Not as sweet as it appears to be!! Delicious--the elderflower notes come through as you chew, and the ratio of jam to bread is generous. Chocolate Hazelnut Pain au Suisse: Tasty, chocolatey, and hazelnut flavors throughout. Feels like a refined Ferrier Rocher wrapped in bread. Definitely needed water alongside this one because it's quite rich! This was a fun spot to try, and the vibes are beautiful, cozy, and quiet on a weekend morning! All three croissants had an insanely layered bite and excellent crunch/crisp. A bit pricey, but a fun place to try if you're in the mood for nice bread!

    Delicious and unique pastries! I've been a couple times and am always impressed by both Fondry's special pastries and seasonal ones. The key is to go on a weekday to avoid the line, as the weekend can definitely get busy. This last time I finally got to try the tofu cream topped croissant, which was ~to die for~. It was a little bit savory with the miso but still (not too) sweet. This felt super original and I would definitely recommend. I also tried the pistachio croissant and asparagus danish this time round and both were extremely good as well. I would have no qualms with re-ordering either. The only note is the pistachio cream is pretty runny, so it's hard to cut and share, as the cream just oozes out. The workers there are super friendly and kind. The drinks are also very good if you're looking to get a little extra treat as well.

    Decided to do a pastry walk while staying in Pasadena and had to include Fondry on the list! I visited 2 years ago but the line was so long we decided to come back but didn't realize 2 years later but glad we did ! No line this time on a Wednesday ! We really enjoyed everything we order ! I love their unique flavor infused in their pastries /baked good ! My only regret was not ordering more to try but an excuse for me to come back next time ! staff are so friendly and attentive , darling bakery shop with a good amount of seating outside with shaded area !! That passionfrut KA was just perfect -layer of buttery flakiness with a generious passionfruit curd I also enjoyed their blueberry scones infused with osmanthus tea what perfect combo

    Wanted to take advantage of the crowd being at Coachella weekend, so I made the journey to Highland Park to finally try Fondry! Was lucky to find a parking spot in their lot that can only park 6 cars. I arrived around 9:15 AM on a Saturday and there was already a line of 20 people. Waited about 30 minutes to order. They have the menu outside so you can decide what you want in advance. I tried 4 different pastries and one thing I really liked was how it wasn't overly buttery. When I usually eat croissants, it feels greasy, but I didn't get the same feeling from Fondry! Highly recommend their yuzu birthday pastry and the charcuterie danish.

    Been eyeing this spot for quite some time. Parking is easy they have a parking lot but very limited space, parking on York Blvd didn't seem to have any restrictions either. Not too sure how weekend parking is, I visited on a Wednesday around noon. Neighborhood residential street might be a good option for parking on Avenue 47 but street sweeping (No Parking) is from 8-10am Wednesday on one side and Thursday on the other side. Orange Blossom Almond Croissant -personally was disgusting, orange blossom was extremely strong. Too fragrant that it tasted like a floral bath bomb or soap. Some do like this but it wasn't for me. Tofu Cloud Croissant Toast -cream on top was pretty salted, to help balance the caramelized sugar that helps press the croissant into a toast. Overall, it wasn't wasn't bad but wasn't good and slightly too salted. Passionfruit Croiffin- texture of the croissant/muffin was great! Buttery, flaky and light. Passionfruit cream filling wasn't too sweet. I loved the tart passionfruit seeds. But you might want to scoop some out if you don't enjoy too much sourness. Elderflower Rhubarb Danish - way too crunchy, would prefer it to be crispy instead of a crunch. Filling was good, not too sweet. Black Sesame Parisian Flan -if you love black sesame, this would be right up your alley. Perfect sweet treat to bring to any auntie's home! Blueberry Tea Scone -not too dense. Surprisingly not too sweet even with the demerara sugar coating. It wasn't really crunchy but more sticky and caramelized from sitting.

    The quality of ingredients used is extremely high. The talent of the bakers is also top notch. The corn pastry was soooo delicious- not too sweet, just right and so crisp and flaky. The caprese pastry was delicious with every bite fresh and bright, you can't beat this place.....it is giving European bakery vibes :)

    I rarely find myself in this part of LA, especially during the day.. So of course I had to make Fondry a stop for breakfast! Came in around 10am and there were a few spots in the lot open. There were also a couple spots along York so parking wasn't an issue. I wish I took a photo of the menu, but today's offerings looked more on the sweeter side. As a savory gal, I HAD to get my hands on the mushroom bechamel danish. My fiance got the orange blossom almond croissant. To share, we got the croissant presse. The mushroom bechamel was creamy and buttery and there were fat chunks of mushrooms, just the way I like. Would've been way better warmed, but I just had to eat it right away. Hah. The orange blossom almond croissant had a nice cream in the center.. almost like an earl grey? Paired with the buttery croissant and almond bits, it was a nice sweet treat. We were expecting more of a traditional almond paste, but this was still delightful nonetheless. Croissant presse was literally what you think it is - a croissant pressed down and had a nice sugar coating. Great snack I kept picking at throughout the day! I wish service could've been a little better. Not sure if the gal working the pastry line was either soft spoken or just really didn't want to talk to us. Didn't hear a single peep from her when trying to decide and order pastries. Was kinda awkward and just wanted to get going.. Worth coming back again if I'm in the area, but definitely taking it home to warm up! Also loved that the box had storage and reheating instructions.

    I had such a great experience at Modu Cafe today…read more I ordered an iced latte and a matcha latte, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth, and the matcha had a rich, balanced flavor without being overly sweet. What really stood out to me, though, was the bakery. The pastry display was absolutely beautiful--it felt more like an art exhibition with a subtle Japanese aesthetic than a typical bakery. I tried the Milk Cream Bun and the Miso Cinnamon Roll. The Milk Cream Bun was light and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness. The Miso Cinnamon Roll completely surprised me. I was curious how miso would work in a cinnamon roll, but it didn't taste noticeably like miso. Instead, it added a subtle savory umami that elevated the sweetness of the cinnamon roll beautifully. It was unlike anything I've had before. This place left such a great impression that I already want to come back and try the rest of the pastries. Highly recommended!

From waiting in line to receiving our drinks, the whole process took a little under 10 minutes. Parking is street parking only, but it's pretty easy. There are plenty of marked spaces nearby, and the streets are wide, so getting in and out of the spots isn't difficult. We ordered a Matcha Latte and Hojicha Latte with cream tops, which cost extra to add and brought each drink to around $8. Visually, they looked really promising, and from what I could see, everything was being hand whisked. Unfortunately, the drinks missed the mark for me. The matcha was smooth and not overly sweet, but it leaned more grassy, while I personally prefer matcha with nuttier notes. That part really just comes down to preference. The hojicha was more disappointing. It was still a little powdery, which was distracting, and I found it quite sweet. I was told it was lightly sweetened with agave, but the sweetness seemed to overpower some of the hojicha flavor. The hojicha itself seemed like it had a good flavor underneath, but everything together just didn't work for me. The cafe has a nice atmosphere and a pretty expansive menu, so it's possible I would've had a different experience with other items. However, considering how busy it was in the middle of a weekday, I'm not sure I'd recommend it as a reliable work or study spot. The staff was fine, but nothing particularly stood out about the service either. Overall, I've had much better matcha and hojicha elsewhere, especially at this price point. Modu Cafe unfortunately wasn't for me, and I'm not sure I'd come back specifically to give it another try.

He handed me my beverage, and I was on my way. It was yummy. I could taste the boldness of the espresso mixed with notes of chocolate.

Whether you're meeting a friend, reading a book, or spending a few hours working, it's the kind of place that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The coffee program is equally impressive. It's clear that quality is the priority. Every drink is crafted with precision, and you can taste the attention to detail in each cup.

The staff at the POS I interacted with was welcoming, knowledgeable, and was great at navigating some of my questions. One thing to keep in mind is that this place has become extremely popular, especially on weekends. Seating can fill up quickly, and parking in Highland Park always requires a little patience. That said, the popularity is well deserved and speaks to the quality of the experience.

Obviously that isn't the coffee shop's fault, but between parking and the higher prices, it ended up being a pretty expensive stop for somewhere I couldn't actually do the work I came there to do. I don't have an issue with a café choosing not to offer WiFi, but I do think that should be communicated upfront. Had I known before ordering, I would have chosen another coffee shop. If you're just coming for coffee, food, and the ambiance, you might have a different experience, but for my use case, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Great food and good portions Costumer service: waitresses…read moreare nice, helpful Food arrived promptly

    Fantastic Mexican brunch and food staples! Come here hungry, because their food is hearty, and…read moreauthentically Mexican! I've been here twice and on the first visit, it took awhile to get seated. We came again this month and was happy to see it seems they expanded their indoor dining to have a whole other room able to seat more diners on busy weekends! I'm usually a light brunch eater, but if you're going here, you have to order the Mexican food staples. My boyfriend loves their breakfast tacos (super hearty, 2 would be enough but a 3rd was taken home). Super generous portion with their cooked meat on top - SO good (classic bacon, or their mole and barbacoa). The Chipotle chilaquiles were absolutely delicious! I've never had an authentic Chipotle sauce taste like that... super creamy, and homemade, not overtly smoky like you usually have at other places. We also had their cafe de olla cold brew (since it was a hot summer heat wave), and it was good - classic with their cafe de olla spices - but I'm sure their classic hot cafe de olla is even better. I believe I've gotten their other regular brunch items, but wish I just opted for their Mexican favorites since that's their bread and butter here. Great business. Great service. Love to support!
