    I have been here before, but this is my first review for here. You definitely have to come early as they run out of items fast. They open at 4 am Mon thru Sat and many locals are up such as truck drivers and warehouse workers. So this place is pretty well known in the area. The vibe is just that of a great Mexican Bakery in a busy area. It's located on Olympic Blvd between Gage and Herbert Streets not too far from the 5 and 710 Freeways. The inside is small and there is no seating inside or outside, so it's grab and go. Today, I ordered two drinks...Starbucks mocha Frappuccino and an Orange Gatorade. I also got a cream filled empanada lightly coated with sugar, which I ate immediately and a peanut butter cookie to share with my daughter for later. The empanada was yummy! I can't wait to come here earlier in the near future and try other items! Stop by if you're in the area. They are open till 3 pm Mon thru Friday and close 1 pm on Saturdays. Sundays they are not open at all. Nice cashier lady and a nice guy at the front of the store. Good people work here! See you again soon La Azteca!!!

    Family owned business with fresh bread daily, except Sundays.

    Absolutely love this place. The bread is baked daily and their tortas are the bomb. It's been here for over 20 years and truthfully, you find it only through word of mouth, which means it's a jewel.

    This is the owner Hector the sweet friendly man! We love Hector he's a good man who is now a friend.

    Great burritos, especially the breakfast burritos. Only drawback is the cost. They can be pricey.

    I ordered the chorizo, egg and bean burrito and it was delicious. La Azteca never disappoints. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Perfect double chip chocolate chip cookie!…read more I get why these cookies are so hyped up- perfectly gooey in the middle, not all the way fully baked in the middle, the chocolate chips were melty - I know people do "cheese pulls" but you can honestly do "chocolate pulls" with these cookies. Excited to try my rocky road cookie tonight.

    The Venice outlet used to be my go-to, but since I moved the Larchmont one was more accessible…read more Parking's always tricky and might require bit of extra walk when not available. It's relatively busy but the line moved swiftly. The Larchmont store was pretty lively with the crowded and colorful wall deco! It's pretty fun to see that they came up with more seasonal items lately and most of them nailed it well when they came to cookies. Previously the lemon one and the most recent was the Raspberry Pistachio which I was impressed by as I just fancied sweet and refreshing combo of white chocolate and raspberry. The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven. The Cookie Milk Latte was actually the main reason bringing me here, yet I was bit let down by it as I was expecting more malty cookie flavor in the drink. I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.

    Delicious drinks and creative pastries!…read more Tried Fondry LA and the matcha vanilla pistachio drink was definitely the highlight--so delicious and perfectly sweet without needing any sweetness adjustment. Easily my favorite thing I tried! The tofu cream croissant toast was airy and light, with a creamy topping that wasn't overly sweet. The mushroom béchamel was savory and good. I only got it because my brother suggested it. Normally I would not seek mushroom pastries even though I like mushrooms. The yuzu meringue croiffin was good, but I am not used to tart flavors in croissant/pastry combination. The cafe is very tiny, with only one table for seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. There are seats outside. I also wanted to try the black sesame pastry, but didn't see it available when I visited. I'd definitely go back to try it. The drink was the standout for me!

    Delicious and unique pastries! I've been a couple times and am always impressed by both Fondry's…read morespecial 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.

    This Korean-style bakery has a great variety of breads and traditional pastries, like red bean…read morebread and rice sulgi. They're also very on-trend, whenever a Korean dessert goes viral, they usually have it here. Recently, they even started selling butter tteok, and I heard it was one of the first places to have it in K-town. I highly recommend the salted bread. Honestly, I think it's even better than the famous spot everyone talks about. My favorite is the corn cheese, it's especially delicious when it's warm. I also tried the Korean chamoe (melon) smoothie, and it was very refreshing. It tasted like they used real melon, since there was a slight natural tanginess that made it even better. There is free parking, though the lot is a bit small. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the seating area is somewhat limited too

The corn latte was okay. The corn flavor wasn't very pronounced. The yuzu smoothie was pretty good. The black sesame bun was very good, but the cream filling was just cream. We were hopping for black sesame cream filling. And the egg salad sandwich were rather disappointing. Proportions were a bit off and the tastes were rather muted.
