This place is my new favorite breakfast / brunch place. I've been exploring their menu and my favorites have become the following which also aligns to their most popular dishes. Pastrami Sammie (sandwich) Softest, thick, & juicy slices of pastrami) Salame Rosa (sandwich) Delicious salami, arugula, & mozzarella cheese but today they swapped it on the menu with ricotta & I said, "Yes, please!" Ricotta & Jam Toast This speaks for itself. Just a yummy combination. Avocado Toast Comes thickly layered with chunky avocado bits and elegantly layered with the almost translucently sliced thin circled radishes that is decorated in a beautiful row on top...delish! There is plenty of seating inside and out. Inside has air conditioning. They also have a great selection on coffee, espresso, lattes, and more. You can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order. A must try! read more

For the prices they charge the LEAST they can do is be clean! I was standing in line this morning to pick up a fresh pastry when I noticed the woman a couple of customers ahead of me ask the man working the counter to change his gloves before grabbing her bread. He gave her attitude and asked why. She replied that he had just touched money and hadn't changed gloves, so she'd appreciate it if he could do so before handling her food. I saw it happen too. The customer right before her paid in cash, the worker made change, then went straight back to handling food. Yuck. That's a clear health code violation. After watching him give her a hard time about a completely reasonable request, I just turned around, left, and found a pastry somewhere else. read more

We went here for breakfast with friends on a Saturday morning. It was not too busy and the line moved quickly. You order at the counter and get a number, then food comes out to you. My husband and I ordered the BLT and cinnamon roll to share. Cinnamon roll was more bread-y than gooey and it tasted more like a brioche bun but I liked it overall. The BLT was fine, good but nothing special. They have a ton of pastries here that looked good but we didn't get since the cinnamon roll was so huge. Street parking only, we found metered parking in front of the restaurant. read more

I've reviewed this lovely little cafe/eatery before, but on my most recent visit, I ordered the breakfast sandwich, and I HAD to come back & rave about it! Y'all, it's a HUGE sandwich piled high on a yummy bun. And I'm not certain how they prepare the scrambled eggs...but they were legitimately some of the best I've ever had. Not wet, certainly not dry, and definitely fluffy & cheesy goodness. read more

Everything they make is delicious. I've been going to this location for 11 years. It helps that I live just a few blocks away. The Pastrami sandwich is delicious. The salads are great. And I can't forget to mention all their wonderful pastries. The staff is always nice and friendly. When you order, they give you a number to put on your table, and then someone will bring out you food and drinks. There's plenty of indoor and outside seating. Just writing this review is making me hungry. I'm going to have to pay them another visit soon. read more

Lodge Bread - Pastrami! - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Got a late takeout breakie on the weekend and Lodge Bread is definitely doing in rotation. Only bummer was they were already sold out of their famous cinnamon rolls and I was told if you want one on the weekend you have to get there early before they sell out! Otherwise the food was absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients (thick cut bacon, eggs, delicious fresh bread) is unmatched for most breakfast spots in the area. The restaurant was packed but the staff were still super friendly and extremely well organized. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating for the sunny weather days. And it's situated in a cute little neighborhood with lots of free street parking nearby. read more

Back again for Friday breakfast! Brought a friend along this time to check out the newly expanded Culver City space. Having actual indoor seating makes the morning vibe so much more relaxed.We loaded up the table with a mix of savory and sweet:Avocado Toast: Still elite. That thick-cut, naturally leavened sourdough is the perfect base, and the radish and lemon give it the best punchy bite. Ham and Cheese Croissant: Incredibly flaky and buttery. You can tell the new dedicated pastry room is paying off--the lamination on this is flawless, and the gruyère ratio was spot on. Scones & Choc Chip Cookies: Grabbed some baked goods for the road. The scone had a perfect crumbly texture without being dry, and the chocolate chip cookie is a massive, rich, chewy masterpiece.As a long-time regular, I love seeing this place grow while keeping the quality of their bakes so high. Still one of the absolute best breakfast spots in the area! read more

I have eaten sandwiches here many times but never checked out their pastries... yesterday, my new neighbor brought me a sampling of many of them! My favorite was the chocolate one! Apple and banana bread were my husband's favorites, and last but not least a 2 coffee cakes!!!! I do love sugary baked goods and I try not to "pig out" so, I immediately dropped some off to my friends across the street. We know so many of our neighbors and sharing with them is the right thing to do since they share with us. It's always good to pass it forward and to save me from eating everything ;)))) Delicious gifts for all! Totally recommend! read more

Service 11/10. The guy working was the nicest person ever and they went above and beyond to ensure I was safe with my allergies. 11/10 for the maple scone. It's so hard to get a good scone and now I can never eat another scone. The baguette was a bit over baked but the scone saved anything else I could ever say. read more

This is a long-overdue post, but Lodge Bread has been my favorite bakery since it first opened back in 2015. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and what's most impressive is how consistently high the quality has remained since day one. That said, there are a few standouts I always find myself coming back to. The avocado toast is a classic for a reason, and the shakshuka is one of those dishes you crave long after you've left. The cinnamon sugar toast and the ricotta jam toast are also incredible--simple, comforting, and executed perfectly. It's been really exciting to watch what started as a small neighborhood bakery grow into what it is today, without losing the heart, care, or craftsmanship that made it special in the first place. Still a must-visit, still a favorite, and still worth the hype. read more

Neat little bread bakery, cafe, etc. Kinda pricey but worth it for quality ingredients that are super tasty. I got two items this am: - On sourdough, their veggie sandwich + ADD TURKEY (all the ingredients were so fresh, sandwhich was big, I ate it for 2 meals) * Avocado, sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, gem lettuce, some kool kind of chilis crushed in mayo, etc. * It came with a large dill pickle spear (DELISH) - Almond Croissant (It literally was the best ever); get it warmed up The lady who brought me my food was so kind and accommodating. The front counter clerk was ok, a little aloof and gave perfunctory service. They have self service water, but it is at room temp, no ice. Would be better with ice/chilled. There was another diner that got a sesame bun sandwich with a knife stuck in it vertically (which looked delish), I would like to try that next time. If you go in the late morning, there is street parking and it's not too crowded. Would like to go back to try more of the menu. read more

I frequent the BH location about once a month. This is my first visit to the Culver City site. Very different layout. The BH location is very spacious inside, lots of indoor seating and a enclosed patio with ample seating. This location has two sides, one side has a small indoor dining area and outdoor sidewalk dining; and the other side of for pick-up only with a few tables outdoors. Not as personal or relaxing vibes as the BH site, feel like you need to dine and dash to make space for others. The food, bread, and baked goodie options are the same high quality. Same menu. We ordered two sandwiches (Tuna and Ham/Cheese) for dine in. Both were excellent, the bread! I ordered two sandwiches (Turkey and Turkey Pesto), lattes, cookies, and baguettes to go. All items traveled well and gobbled up quickly with smiles. Service was good but not amazing. At he BH's store they are very friendly and check on you while you are in person dining. They make you feel special. At the Culver City location, definitely missing that! Parking, all I can say is good luck! Some street metered parking but scarce and may only be 1 hr limit. There is parking for the retail stores, but few if any spaces. Most of the neighborhood streets are permit only or just 1 hr limit. I still think Lodge Bread is a great business model with great bread and food. Definitely gping to stick with the BH location. I know where to park and enjoy relaxing while enjoying a great sandwich or breakfast with friendly service. read more

Very prejudice I want to pick up a order. It was like three people ahead of me picking up order. The guy at pick up came out with order. Had me confirm it all in my phone he didn't he didn't.

My husband and I ended up coming here for lunch on a Saturday in October after seeing a crazy line at the first place we were meant to get brunch. We were both hungry and just wanted to get food somewhere we knew we wouldn't have to wait long. Unfortunately we ended up regretting our visit here. There was a staff member at the cashier who looked like we'd ruined her day by coming in. We ordered and went to a table outside to sit. Since our last visit, they've remodeled slightly and have a separate entrance for ordering takeaway and dine-in orders. Aside from the bigger entrance for dine-in orders, they don't have any indoor seating, all of their seating is outdoors. Our food arrived within 20 minutes. My shakshuka was good, but my husband's tuna sandwich was just ok. They serve the sandwiches on cold bread, which ruins the entire thing. read more

Lodge Bread - Ah - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've visited a handful of times now and they consistently make me happy! The bread is scrumptious. The chew is on point, packed with flavor and aroma. The crust is crunchy but not tough and the inside is chewy and not elastic. Has a light tangy flavor. Ugh! It's perfect! If you love bread it will not disappoint. Paid about $11 and some change for the loaf and they will slice for you if you'd like. The coffee is great! I usually go for a latte. I've had it hot and cold, and it always tastes great. It's not super strong, I would say it's medium and well balanced when mixed with milk. They have other baked goods, like cookies, coffee cake, croissants as well. Cookies are a must. My favorite thing to order so far has been the cinnamon sugar toast. Perfectly toasted, has delicious pool of butter, cinnamon, sugar and hit of sea salt on top. It's a must have. The BLT and the turkey pesto sandwiches are yummy! I can't even say I would prefer one over the other they are both that good. These sandwiches are everything but dry or bland. My compliments to the many hard working people whose hands make this happen. The service is always great. I've visited when they are busy and not, and the only thing I would say is different is how quickly you'll receive your order. But their staff is always on it and acknowledging you. The have dining inside and outside tables. More of them outside. The place is always looking very clean and organized. There is meter parking available but on weekends you might have to find parking a little further. read more

Good customer service but not following proper food handling procedures. The gentleman behind the counter was touching everything, his hat , his clothing, then he touched money and then tried to grab my loaf of bread. I had to ask him to change his gloves and he didn't understand why. Gross. The register and money then straight to my food. Nope, unexceptionable and disgusting. Very disappointed especially at that price. He had on a hat backwards and had a curly mustache. I've been coming here for years, years but stopped a few years ago because it was so inconsistent with food quality and portions. I wanted to try again but nope you really have lost me forever. read more

This place is very popular and busy on a saturday morning! They have an extensive selection of baked goods and some drinks available. Chocolate croissant: very layered and a generous amount of chocolate. super buttery and flakey! ham and cheese croissant: delicious and well balanced. again, very buttery and flakey. pear morning bun: did not really taste the pear, which I think was a jam spread inside the bun. But it is a delicious morning bun overall There is some seating available, but I did not notice outlets for working/studying. read more

Lodge Bread - Chocolate Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped by for a few pastries and coffee after picking up some folks at the airport. Tried the maple scone, a lemon kouign aman, a chocolate pastry, and a blood orange swirl. The maple and blood orange icings were too sweet. The chocolate one was my favorite. The lemon one had a very subtle flavor, almost wish there was a bit of lemon curd in the middle. Coffee was pretty good. read more

Every dish we tried here was excellent!! A relative had brought some of their bread down for our wedding and I thought it was so incredible and finally had the chance to visit and try the other food. The shakshuka is some of the best I have had! Very flavorful. All of the food we will had was wonderful. I would absolutely come again! The food was prepared very quickly and there was a really nice open patio. It is really wonderful for a beautiful day. read more

I came here for years when they first opened. I returned after a hiatus to find the avocado toast is now a whopping $17 (including a $1 tip) with less bread and less avocado. It used to be $14 including tip. More for less, is the opposite of what I was expecting. read more

It's a smallish bakery in Culver City with a lot of really good freshly-baked bread, plus breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pizzas, among other things. I wanted to try and baguette and the ones they offer are very good-sized. However, it was a harder and crustier than I had hoped. If you have ever been to France (and who among us hasn't?), when you order a baguette at a boulangerie/bakery, you get a very warm, just-out-of-the-oven baguette that has a crust but still melts in your mouth. I realize Culver City isn't Paris but a guy can dream, right? Make sure you get cultured butter with your baguette. It's very good. The breakfast sandwich (we ordered it with sausage instead of bacon) is an absolute knockout. It is massive and comes on a pillowy soft brioche bun with two delicious sausage patties, eggs, and melted cheese. It is an absolute winner. The ricotta and jam toast was very nice. It comes on a thick piece of bread with a huge slather of delicious ricotta cheese and strawberry jam. I really wanted to love this place but the baguette should have been softer for one that I purchased at around 9 in the a.m. I still would return, though. This is obviously high quality stuff. The pastries looked amazing but we didn't try any on this visit. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Street parking only. read more

Came here lunch with a friend and ordered the Turkey sandwich and they got a Tuna one. We both enjoyed the sandwiches but the highlight was the chocolate chip cookie! So happy we were able to snag the last one of the day. read more

It's the kind of place that feels L.A. and you can spend a slow morning. Space is a mix of industrial and cozy. Make sure to grab a loaf of bread to go! Our orders: Breakfast Sammie ($17.86): Toasted sourdough, farm eggs, cheddar, arugula, and mayo, with bacon. This seemed like the popular option but found it quite simple and not worth trying again. Salame Rosa Focaccia Sandwich ($22.30): Our favorite! It has Fra'Mani salame rosa, fresh mozzarella, arugula, almond pesto aioli, balsamic glaze, layered on their signature focaccia. This one's a standout. The focaccia is pillowy but still holds its shape, and the flavor combo is rich, nutty, and bright. Pricey, but you can tell a lot of care went into it. Cardamom Knot ($6.21): Another favorite-- very big, soft, not too sweet, with that gentle cardamom warmth Bread Pudding ($6.21) read more

The staff is sooooo friendly! When did this expand to the unit next door? We appreciated the added seating. We ordered the veggie sandwich + turkey and then the pita sandwich. I enjoyed the the pita sandwich. It was the perfect warm healthy vegan option during the Xmas Eve rain. My friend loved her veggie sandwich with turkey. It reminded us of the scooby doo sandwich since it was stacked high. There's street meter parking in the front and a few street spots in the residential area around the corner. I would suggest carpooling if you can. read more

$9.25 for an iced oat vanilla latte??? You gotta be kidding me. Average tasting coffee in a small cup at that.

I tried their cinnamon roll toast, it didn't taste that great, the toast was more on the hard side which isn't my preference, the price was okay. I also ordered a sandwhich which looked like a regular sandwhich anyone can make at home, it tasted good but was definitely not worth the price. The servers were also a little unfriendly. You order on one side and pick up your order in the store next door. There is outside dining as well. read more

Been a fan of Lodge for a long time now. A bit pricey so I don't visit frequently, but know you're getting quality, fresh food, amazing flavors, and great service.

Delicious bakery goods for brunch I was doing for my college kids! Can't wait to go to restaurant for brunch!

I love everything at Lodge, & I'm partial to this original location. One of the reasons why is bc they have amazing pizza - some of the best in town, imo. I was excited that they opened up the space next door for inside table seating, & the new ordering counter is big & really showcases the pastries. But. And this is a big but! No pizza! Whyyyyyyy?!! I hope that's temporary, bc the pizza here is so awesome that it's been worth at least one weekly visit just for that alone. I'll still come for the velvety hummus & puffy soft pita, the Big Fat Pita sammich, the smoked pastrami, loaves of fresh bread, the Cinnamon Whoopie Pie, & the best ham & cheese croissant ever. Bring back the pizza please!!! read more

I love a sandwich. This place has great sandwiches. Bread is in the name. Should the bread be a little thicker/heartier? Yes. Nonetheless, it was delicious. I got the Roasted Turkey and a Tuna. I appreciate that the turkey was real and tasted like it was carved for my sandwich. The tuna was delishhhhh. Not too much mayo and had fantastic flavor. Love a pickle on the side. You order on one side and pick up next door. Decent seating indoors and out. Staff when ordering was not unfriendly but not necessarily friendly. Staff at pick up was super friendly. My biggest problem is street parking. Only about 5 spots out front for metered street parking. Otherwise, venture to the side streets into a neighborhood to park. I was there well after lunch and parking was easy and right up front. I went again (got the same two sandwiches) and parking was not happening. I had to park a block away because I went at lunch time. It is what it is, but as we all know living in LA, parking is important. Obviously, I went twice in one week, and experienced lunch time & after lunch time parking, and will definitely be back because the sandwiches were That good. read more
