Located on Melrose and Kingsley, Maison Matho is on a very busy section near the 101 freeway entrance on Normandie. Is there parking? Street parking can be a bit tough I think. I did see some folks pull up and pick up their orders so I believe ordering ahead for pick up is an option. Fortunately for me, Matho is just two blocks from my childhood home, so during a visit to my parents, following our late lunch I was struck with an urge for a good latte and some fresh air. "Let's walk to Maison Matho" What did I order? The Pink Praline Latte is a 5/5 stars in flavor. Sooo good, it crossed my mind to order a second one, even before I got halfway through the one in my hand. Service with a smile :-) The folks here are so nice. We arrived just 30 minutes before closing. They noticed we were enjoying the street side bench seating while sipping our lattes and allowed us to sit a bit longer past the closing. In comparison to other coffee shops pricing is def a bit on the high side but in my opinion, what they deliver on flavor and quality definitely makes up for it. On this visit I didn't try their food but will definitely be returning and looking forward to reviewing one of the savory offerings very soon read more

tl;dr the food is not worth the trek to this French coffeeshop; the prices are high for bland baked goods and petite, inconsistently-executed sandwiches When the French-born Daniel Matho moved to America to pursue his passion for cooking, he admitted to missing the simple yet solid sandwiches of France. Four years ago, in the midst of the pandemic, he aimed to address that unfilled niche through his humble takeout window, Maison Matho. This French-leaning coffee shop specializes in French breakfast fare and baked goods, and plenty of Angelenos are braving the bumper-to-bumper Melrose traffic to try them. Matho set up shop in the street-side room of a multipurpose complex sandwiched between apartment buildings. Colorful abstract murals are painted directly onto the salmon-toned walls, and the wide, raised ordering window is shaded by a black awning. To the left, a dedicated dining space is set up within the gated, canopied patio. The hum of a ventilator unit blends with the buzz of street traffic. The sandwiches each featured Matho's crisp house baguette. However, the simplicity wasn't met with consistency. I preferred the Bresaola Sandwich, loaded with plentiful parchment-thin slices of meat. The best bites incorporated salty-and-savory bresaola with zesty lemon and crunchy whole pistachios; however, just as many bites were devoid of one or multiple key ingredients, ending up falling flat. Meanwhile, the Jambon Buerre (a classic Parisian ham-and-butter sandwich) felt relatively tame and one-dimensional; only the few bites with the tart sliced cornichons were anything more than standard. Lastly, the signature Pink Praline Brioche Bun was mostly forgettable. The dry, sweetened bread was only slightly enhanced by a thin glaze and scattered sweet-and-crunchy pralines. The service has always been prompt, and my order pick-up has been a breeze on both occasions. Unfortunately, the portion sizes feel modest for the premium price -- a single "half" sandwich is just too small for a satisfying lunch, but still runs near $15. Ultimately, with inconsistent execution even across a single sandwich, I don't anticipate paying Matho a future visit. read more

I've recently had Maison Matho a few times and the jambon beurre is incredible. Their iced vanilla lattes are also noteworthy and a star on the menu. A few years ago when I first went I had a different experience with the praline latte but perhaps it is an acquired taste or it wasn't made right. In any case, please check them out the ingredients are always fresh and it well worth your money! read more

I would consider this place a stand, not a restaurant but nonetheless it was really good. Really chill vibe. Parking can be an issue but we got lucky and found a spot across the street. French themed with different pastries and sandwiches available. Coffee options available as well. Price was on the higher side for lunch but we also ordered the most expensive items from the menu. I had to try the omelette with trout roe and the pink praline late. Once we ordered at the window we found a spot under the shaded patio area they have right next to the stand. There are like 3 little round tables. Once our order was ready, they brought it to us. I really enjoyed the omelette. It was placed in a baguette, so it was technically a sandwich. The eggs were soft and the trout roe added a touch of saltiness. The coffee was equally tasty, not too sweet. read more

Been wanting to go to Maison Matho for the longest! I had the Pink Praline Latte Hot and it was amazing! I would come back for this alone. Also got Ham n Cheese croissant. The exterior was amazing with cheesy crunchy edges and buttery layers but the ham was a lil in dryer side. Overall 5/5, staff was so nice. Will try one of the signature baguette sandwiches next time.

Fulfilling my own promise and coming back for their sandwiches! Not to miss the opportunity, we tried both the Jambon Beurre and Daniel's Favorite which was basically the Jambon one but with prosciutto instead of ham. Both were soooo good just like what everyone's been shouting, and it's indeed the butter which became their secret sauce! It's impressive how the simple meat, butter, cornichons combo could turn out that tasty. If we had to choose one, our pick was the prosciutto one just because it's more salty so it balanced the butter well. We pre-ordered to be secure that we're not spending long time waiting but the time we arrived on Sunday noon it's not like insanely busy. We waited a bit for the seat at the side patio, and could quickly get one. And ofc, we didn't skip their almond croissant! read more

Although I probably wont be back, as $22 per sandwich is a little steep for me, overall the food was really good. Parking is limited but my husband and I found a spot not terribly far and walked up to the super cute and clean window. We ordered the Omelette Sandwich and Daniel's Favorite. The Omelette Sandwich had a tad muted flavor and was dry, but was overall tasty; I just about destroyed the roof of my mouth with the bread. The eggs were really light and perfectly cooked though. My husbands sandwich was better, it had butter on it which greatly helped the dry factor and the salty prosciutto was perfection. Portions were okay for the price point. It came out in a reasonable amount of time considering it's made to order. read more

Maison Matho - Forgot the names but it's half of the two top sold sandwhiches - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Drove by on my way home from the city and found no line and easy parking. Grabbed a jambon buerre and Daniel's favorite before hitting the traffic-laden freeway. I really adore simplicity and that's exactly what the jambon is. A great baguette, lots of flavorful French butter, shaved jambon and some cornichons. I do wish there was more cornichons to help offset the butter and ham, but that's a small quibble. It's a sandwich and a darned good one. I found the Daniel's Favorite with prosciutto too rich and salty for my liking. It was good, but I'm more a fan of less is more in this case. read more

Maison Matho - Jambon Beurre - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Located down Melrose, you will find a small stand tucked off to the side. Don't blink or you might miss it--I almost did. Once you find it, though, you'll be glad you did. The menu is distinctly French, featuring fun specialty drinks and thoughtfully crafted dishes. My friend and I ordered the Omelette with Trout Roe specialty sandwich ($27) and split half of the classic Jambon Beurre ($12 half / $23 full). I was very tempted to add a pastry, but I'm glad I didn't--this was more than enough food for two. Both sandwiches were delicious and served on their incredible house-made baguette. Honestly, I could eat the baguette alone and be happy. The omelette sandwich was quite messy, so grab plenty of napkins. The French omelette itself was perfectly cooked--light, fluffy, with a soft center. I might have preferred a roe with a bit more pop, but the trout roe worked fine. The Jambon Beurre was everything you would expect from this French classic: a thick slab of salty butter, a generous amount of ham, and tangy cornichons to finish it off. Next time, I may ask for extra cornichons. There is a small patio area with tables, plus a couple along the sidewalk. That said, the sandwiches hold up well for takeaway. Since everything appears to be made to order, expect a bit of a wait. All in all, the sandwiches were excellent, and I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Heard a lot of great thing about this place and realized that I drove by this places countless times without realizing that it's a French shop, a hole in the wall type that is for to go only. First, parking was easy since I got street parking right next to the building but it can be snapped up once the lunch rush starts. Small menu but great choices. Easy order through the window with great, friendly service staff. Ordered 1/2 Daniel's favorite (Prosciutto di Parma, butter & cornichons on house baguette), Pork Rillette (Pork confit topped with fresh herbs and cornichons with toasted baguette), and London Fog. Took abit to get order since it's made to order and there are couple orders ahead of me. Once done, they bring it out in a to go bad to you. Price wise, it's pricey and true to the French for sure. It's definitely on the high end but didn't expected to be on this side on the neighborhood. The sandwich was great, great combo but the baguette was not toast or heat up so it be chewy. The butter is definitely bring the whole thing together and it a lot in the sandwich for sure, so glad that I when to the gym prior. I can felt my heartbeat and my fat appreciated a lot. The Pork Rillette, or pâté was great...on the light side and perfectly great on the toasted (crunchy) baguette. The 1st bite, you wonder what you're tasting but as you chew, you start tasting the pork, the herbs combined and the favor is getting to you as you eat it. The croissant was great as well, but I would preferred that it heat up abit so I can bite into the crust crunch croissant. The latte was fantastic, well make. Overall it was surprisingly great lunch but the prices got me off guard abit since all these is for $47 included tip. Definitely in the high end in the low end neighborhood. read more

Good baguette, good butter, that's about it. I don't see what the hype is all about. About $30 for a full sandwich. I don't mind paying that kind of money for a good sandwich, but this ain't it. Great exercise for your jaw though. But I'm not coming back. read more

Saw this place featured on a YouTube video. Went there for the ham and butter sandwich (jambon beurre) coffee, and almond croissant and everything excellent! Plenty of ham on my baguette since apparently they catered to Americans. The almond croissant was delightful flaky not too sweet, perfect. Service was fantastic and friendly too! Can't wait to try the omelette with trout roe next time. Looking forward to my next visit there. read more

An interesting spot with a small menu but lots of personality! While I was around Hollywood, I stopped by here for a quick lunch. I got the Daniel's favorite sandwich (Prosciutto di parma, butter & cornichons on their own baguette) and it was so delicious and very unique. The sandwich is also a very good size and the baguette is yummy as well. The service is relatively fast from the window and most of the seating is outside. There isn't much, but I got lucky and landed a seat when some folks left. read more

I can see why this place has been featured on other's social media. The food may look simple but the care put into sandwiches and croissants are fantastic. I thought the butter would be heavy, the taste was more like a light cream cheese with a butter aftertaste. Because of the butters lightness I preferred the Dave's sandwich which had more flavor . Tho I was most impressed by the omelette sandwich. When I go back I will most likely have the omelette with prosciutto. The coffee was not too sweet, had a nice balance. There is high top seating next to order line. To the left were 4 small patio tables. Parking can get a little difficult. Overall experience was a 4,5 read more

Maison Matho - Mocha Mocha Daniel's Favorite Jambon Beurre Omelette Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was craving the quintessential French sandwich, jambon beurre, and decided to try Maison Matho. Service was quick. It's a casual setup where you order through a window. The baguette was crisp with a golden crust and a soft, chewy interior. The ham was thinly sliced, mild, and savory. They were generous with the butter, which was evenly spread and added a rich, creamy finish to every bite. There is a small covered seating area on the side of the building. Parking is street-only. read more

I totally wanted to love this place. I've seen so many videos and driven by so many times and decided to stop by one Sunday for breakfast. We ordered a baguette egg sandwich and a baguette with ham, pickles and butter. It was unfortunately flat out not good. The baguette was lackluster and so mediocre. What a shame. I also got a ham and cheese croissant. That was whatever. The people at the counter were friendly. They don't have a lot of seating. They have a couple benches and that's pretty much it. On top of it all it was pretty expensive for what it was definitely not going back. read more

Maison Matho is one of my absolute favorite sandwiches!! The baguette is perfect, the ratio of bread to butter pickles and prosciutto is perfect every time! I will say it is a bit on the pricey side for a simple lunch I spent about $50 for a sandwich, latte, and side order of baguette but I am willing to splurge when necessary because it's absolutely delicious! It reminds me of a cute lil bakery is France read more

Oof. Where do I start with the review for Maison Matho? Street parking is only available in and around the neighborhood. Lucky if you can find some right in front of the store. It's a hole in the wall type place with some outside seating. Only one customer in front of us but somehow took nearly 10 minutes for our turn because they were busy chatting. Once it was my turn ordering, I found the woman's attitude curt and rude. It isn't like she was unaware of the now long line behind me. Very French in that sense. I ordered the 6-minute egg and tomato tartine because the ham and cheese croissant was sold out. Both items were garbage in my opinion. The tomato was oozing water from the salt they used. Oh why hello osmosis effect. That doesn't go well together with flaky crust that was otherwise over-baked and crumbled everywhere. Do you like your tartine / croissant type dough baked and "flaky" like shards? You may like it then. It also needed some black pepper or something to add more flavor to the salted tomato compote like crap oozing with water. The 6-minute egg was a ghastly surprise. I didn't read the menu description in detail and wasn't aware it will be a cold soft boiled egg floating in aspic jelly and edible flowers + shredded pink prosciutto with beans. No. No thank you. Had I known this, this would have been a hard pass. The sandwich my friend got looked underwhelming too. A dry baguette with prosciutto and some pickled vegetables. Very bland and unappetizing looking. Something a Dutch or German native would have lapped it up and be happy. To me this place seems overhyped for the quality of food a service it renders. Probably the biggest $20 something I wasted in a long time. I don't recommend unless you're into bland European style food with a side of rude but authentic French style service. read more

Has street parking, by street in front of residential. More outside pick up with some small tables/benches. Ordering was fast, they take card. Limited menu. They didn't have all the crossiants today when we went around lunch time. Jambon beurre- ham is thinly sliced and taste a bit like sharp cheddar (less salty more dry and less processed seeming/gelatinous than American ham). The half size is on a mini baguette, which is on the chewier and toasties side. The cornichons are sour and crunchy has a nice bite. The butter doesn't seem like French butter- doesn't have that characteristic richness and is unsalted. The size of it offers a substantial bite, but i think to my unexperienced palate would've done well with some cracked black pepper or something to offer more slip to the tongue. I still liked trying it. The 6 minute egg was interesting... unknowingly we did not read the description and was so surprised at the aspic jelly. It is very avante guarde to me LOL the egg was indeed soft boiled and encased in a broth like jello. There are a few pieces of proscuitto lining the bottom of the egg. It was seasoned with seasonal veg/herbs but the coldness threw me off. They also gave a side of cut roasted bread. I would think very little people order this though.. My friend also got a tomato tartin- the tomatoe is flavored well, but unfortunately the wateriness of the tomatoe caused it to slide off the pastry. The pastry dough was also nice and crispy on the edges. So separately great components. The chef inside is friendly, this place seems popular amongst French ppl or locals who live in the area. Very local vibes. read more

Delicious! With friendly and quick service. The baguette was so good it could be enjoyed on it's own, but add jambon beurre and it was divine! We also tried the almond croissant, it was lovely, the almond flavor was not strong, my favorite part of it was where the almond paste had seeped out during baking and created this lovely caramelized crust at the bottom... a perfect pair with coffee! They have a small covered patio to enjoy your food, but no restroom. The only downside to this place is its location.. it's not a great area to walk and during rush hour you can't park in front on Melrose, so we found side street parking and walked.. but the walk was a land mind full of trash and dog poo.. not fun. But I definitely recommend it, just be prepared to step mindfully. read more

Wow !!! I fell in love with maison matho !! Full authentic French vibes. Watching them roll dough right in front of the window !! Sandwiches so good !! Plain croissant. I wish it was a bit more buttery. Probably should have went with the chocolate croissant. But it was still good but not my fav 6 min eggs. This was a pretty cool dish. So much went into these eggs. The bread that came with it so so good Sandwiches. Daniel special was my fav. Bread is a bit harder but totally gives it the authentic French taste and feel. Quality ingredients. No extra sauce to hide the quality of this sandwich so so good Also got the sandwich with the pistachio. Excellent also. Can't go wrong with either I have to go back for the omelette sandwich. Looks amazing. Wasn't a fan of the pink latte because I am not a floral person. But it's still unique and beautiful Overall. I love this joint. I can't wait to come back and try everything else read more

Daniel's Favorite is SO good. It's the perfect bread, butter and bread combo. We ordered for an office lunch and everyone loved it.

There's always so many places to eat delicious food in LA and the competition for your time, money, and calories is easy. This place will always secretly be in my top 5. The food is always hands down perfect and savored and- honestly transports you to delicious bliss. So much so- that it's so easy to forgive the higher price point for a no sink/bathroom, no wet towelettes to wipe your hands fingers before/after when eating that glorious baguette, and the low key obnoxiously arrogant person who takes your order that kind of kills your energy hard (the lady who used to be there more often is deeply missed). The brunch box is wonderful through and through. The omelette sando is good for two people. I could possibly kill for the 6 min egg. If you're not eating there, skip the coffee, but do consider the specialty drinks- they're well made. read more

Honestly I was really hoping to like this place, maybe I got it at a bad time but I was kinda underwhelmed. The storefront is a cute lil spot tucked into Melrose, but after ordering it was pretty apparent there was no where to sit and eat. We did find a table on the sidewalk, but it was barely enough to fit our plates. Not to be picky, but they were also out of water, we kindly asked to fill, but it took as much time to cook as it did to fill the water cooler. We were pretty thirsty. Workers seemed stretched thin. Maybe this place needs more employees. The eating area was full, and even if we could get a table, none of them had chairs. There's benches on one side, but where are the chairs? We ended up sitting out front, on the edge of the baking sun in a bench with a mini table. It was nice at first, better than the small dining area, but soon enough it got filled around with people ordering and waiting for orders. Lastly the food was okay. The Jambon Beurre was 10/10, if this was just a review of that it'd be 5/5, but the Bresaola was pretty bland, and importantly the bread was kinda a few hours stale. Good but a pretty hard crust to bite through read more

I drive by Maison Matho weekly on my way to work but was also unmoved by its unassuming storefront. After seeing pictures of their sandwiches I finally gave it a try. I ordered the jambon beurre, an espresso, and an almond croissant for pickup. It was a bit pricy for a hole in the wall in east Hollywood, but my oh my was it tasty! I expected espresso quality to be poor compared to your standard LA cafe but it was surprisingly good, better quality than a Sightglass even. It paired perfectly with the fantastic, fluffy vanilla brioche, which they substituted for my almond croissant because it had sold out before I arrived for my pickup order. The sandwich was fairly large and I loved the pickles. The bread was a bit too hard which I've seen other reviewers note as well, I get it's a baguette but in France I've had this sandwich with bread that didn't hurt my teeth. Otherwise a must-order. My biggest complaint is I got an email that it was ready at 2:10, but it wasn't actually ready until 2:30 so I was late to my event. They also gave me a free croissant but didn't tell me, so it fell onto the ground and shot a million crumbs all of the floor of the gym of my event. A nice gesture that unfortunately I didn't get to appreciate. Rounding up because I'd still recommend giving them a try! read more

We found this little hidden gem in LA and it was amazing. My friends and I got the egg omelette, Jambon Beurre, and an ice Americano to share. The bread was fresh and the butter tasted amazing. The egg omelette was fluffy and soft a 5/5 and the Jambon was 4/5. The service was fast and the server was really thoughtful by helping us cut the sandwiches into four pieces so it will be easier to share. They also have a little area for seating on the side. Would definitely be back if I'm in the area but it's street parking only! read more

This place is so unique! There aren't many places in LA that serve quick to go French sandwiches like Maison Matho. Their food was so delicious! We ordered the Bresola and Daniel's favorite sandwiches. I would give the Bresola a solid 4/5! I think it could some more greens and pistachios, but it was still yummy! Daniel's favorite was definitely my favorite sandwich. I give it a 5/5. It had some sort of cream cheese with prosciutto and pickles, and I think the ingredients all complimented each other. We also ordered the 6 minute egg, which is a must try! Would give this a 5/5. It comes with pieces of fresh baguette and you're supposed to eat it with the egg. The egg was rich and creamy and tasted amazing on the baguette! The baguette was soft but crunchy at the same time. Definitely tasted fresh. As for sweets, we ordered their walnut and chocolate croissant, and their pink brioche bun. I would give the walnut a 4/5, the chocolate a 5/5 and the pink brioche a 3.5/5. Their croissants are so fresh, light and crispy. Honestly one of the best croissants I've had. Service was quick. We waited no more than 10 minutes for all those items. Would definitely be coming back! read more

Sandwich was a generous portion with lots of finely shaved ham and it was way too much for me to eat alone. I'll be having my sandwich no less than once a week from here! I'm not sure how anyone can honestly give less than 5 stars. This place is worth the HYPE 1000%! read more

Got the Jambon Buerre sandwich from Maison Matho. The baguette was delicious and I will give them credit! The cornichons were a necessity and the butter was good butter and all that is a good thing but the Jambon, what should be the star, was underwhelming to say the least. A good Jambon should be delicate and nearly melt on the tongue, silky in texture, and subtle in taste. This one was dry and "subtle tasting" would be generous to say. Had to doctor it up w a bunch of maldon and pepper. Oh well! read more
