    My family and I have been ordering from La Conversation for over 15 years. It's great they have a storefront again in LA making it easier to pick up desserts. They have a small seating area. The pear tart and Milanese cupcakes are my family's go-to for desserts. I also like the macadamia hearts. Customer service is always great. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

    The CUTEST little bakery with such nice staff. I highly highly recommend stopping here, the prices are so affordable. This is a true gem!

    Super cute cafe, the food was delish. Had an omelette with fresh fruit, did not disappoint! Super friendly service as well, will definitely come back

    I ordered a delicious club sandwich, to eat there and some cookies to take home .

    Fantastic cafe / bakery ! Nice staff , delicious food and amazing baked goods. I've been 3 times in 4 weeks!!

    Absolutely beautiful space, the pastries even better, and the staff are even friendlier. It felt like I was stopping by an auntie's house, and she turned around holding a freshly baked croissant. I went home with the macadamia hearts (delightful), chocolate and almond croissant (filled to the brim), fruit tarts (fresh), and pear tart, all as good as the one before. Not a place to sleep on, and I can't wait to come back!

    Coffee menu

    My favorite veggie croissants and pastries! Love this place. Super cute Parisian style bakery. Service is amazing!

    Pastries

    Welcoming -- wonderful staff- fresh array of pastries-- croissants -tarts. Creative and beautiful. Great coffees/lattes. You can also order cakes and pies. Soon they will be expanding their breakfast menu and light lunch. This is a new location for La Conversation - they had been on Doheny , off Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood for years!! Same Bakers and some the original staff! How amazing to see them again!!

    Such a beautiful cake with succulents to match my bouquet and my husband's boutonniere.

    I've tried various cakes, pastries, and other goodies from this bakery and each time they've been delicious and presented beautifully. We were lucky enough to have La Conversation make our wedding cake this last May and we were blown away. I had seamless communication with them regarding the cake flavor options, design ideas, and about set-up/delivery for the big day so it was a relief to know they were proactive in thinking of all the details. We decided on a chocolate cake with buttercream icing. I mentioned we had succulents in my bouquet/boutonniere and they were able to incorporate them onto the cake! We got so many compliments from our family and friends on the appearance and taste. Easiest and best decision we could have made!

    Dipped in white or dark chocolate...

    A lovely little cafe and bakery right off Santa Monica at Doheny... I've lived in WeHo for years and didn't even know this place was here, but it's worth a visit for sure. I found the street parking easy, there is indoor and outdoor seating, and the noise level and setting make it a good choice for a casual meeting. Tables are a little tight, but it isn't a large space. Working with a laptop might be challenging if you like to spread out. They have a breakfast and a lunch menu, but I was there at an odd time and for a meeting, so decided to just go with coffee and order food to go to surprise the waiting SO at home. The coffee is fabulous and they're great at refills. Staff is endlessly helpful and efficient. It's the kind of place where you feel like after a few visits, you'll get to know everyone there. My colleague raved about their croissants, and she's French! So that seemed like a good bet. I went with two Swiss and mushroom croissants, which the server told me they were out of but would make up a couple of fresh ones just for me. Awesome. As I was paying my bill, I was right in front of the bakery counter so... how could I resist? Again, since I was going home to my patient SO (who didn't even complain about my scheduling a relatively long Saturday afternoon meeting), I decided to get a few things to bring home to her. They had these lovely Macadamia Hearts , which are like a thicker cookie/cake hybrid that are dipped in white or dark chocolate. They're $4.25 each, so I got a couple of each type. And they were delicious. Perfect sweet and romantic little treat that I highly recommend if you need a little gift for your squeeze! Definitely would go back - perfect place to pick up dessert for a party, snacks for a meeting, or to grab breakfast, lunch or coffee and a pastry.

    Free basket of goodies~mini croissant, scone, and muffin. Delicious!

    This cute little cafe is located on the corner of Doheny and Nemo. My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday for brunch and really enjoyed the ambiance and food. I had the Danie's Breakfast Special that came with two eggs, two pumpkin pancakes, and your choice of meat, I went with the smoked bacon. Overall I thought the food was good, I wasn't a huge fan of their pumpkin pancake (and I normally love everything pumpkin). The highlight for me was the free basket of goodies that was provided. It came with a mini version of their muffin, croissant and scone. What a great way to advertise their pastries because after I was done with brunch, I went straight into their bakery to buy a few items to go. I can tell you that I would have never tried their pastries if it wasn't given to me as part of my meal. I'm always trying to be health conscious but if something is given to me for free, how can I say no!!! If you are looking for a nice breakfast spot in Weho with outdoor seating, this is a great choice. I easily found 2 hour street parking off Doheny. Just beware of the delicious pastries if you are watching your figure.

    I liked this place so much. How could they close forever? No goodbye. No other location... wow. I'm so sad.

    Does anyone know if they plan to reopen this? I was going to go with my boyfriend today and really bummed to see it's closed.

    I'm afraid that Steve sold the business and is enjoying retirement. I believe he's headed to Greece this week.

    Anyone know of a recipe for their delicious macadamia hearts? I'm gonna miss those.

    What happened to this restaurant?

    They closed quietly on Jan 20

    Ok? Sooooo we didn't know it closed..?? How come ?? What happened ?? I need answers 😭

    The new owner of the property wants to demolish the current building and build a new one. ☹️

    Closed for good?

    Yes !!!

    When do they stop serving breakfast?

    Breakfast all day!

    Where is the best place to park? That area has become parking hell...

    They have their own parking in the back of the restaurant. It can get a little competitive but there is some times a parking attendant across the street who helps the businesses on the block.

This one's really good with a nice nutty flavor without it being overpowering like a classic peanut butter Strawberry: straightforward strawberry base topped w strawberries. The base is creamy and the tartness from the strawberries rounds it all out. Mango melon: mango shaved ice base with melon balls. Lowkey the melons were a little hard to eat for their size and also they were superrr cold so it made it hard to chew but loved the flavor combo All of them come with condensed milk for you to drizzle over and it's nice that it comes separately so you can adjust your sweetness level

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

Lots of art on their windows and they usually have a collab drink or something. Just know that depending on how popular the collab is, and even if it isn't, this place has lines out the door and is quite fisted. Tables in front are always full of people. Drinks are hit and miss. Every latte I've gotten, even with mixing is grainy sweet coffee slop and the matcha isn't too great either (way better options in the area), but if you have a sweet tooth for pastries it's not too bad.

We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!

You can order easily on their touch screens which is nice for looking at all of the available options. I've tried two of the Petit Gateau (tiny cakes) - the My Man Go (Fresh mango, hazelnut praline, mango mousse) and the Berry3 (Strawberry coulis, pistachio praline, raspberry mousse, crimson velvet). In addition to being so darn beautiful, the flavor was just phenomenal. I loved both but slightly preferred the cubically adorable berry cake's taste.
