Tried this place for the first time today but totally disappointed, not worth the hype at all!!! The bread was stale and very hard, could barely chew on it, now my jaw hurts from biting the bread it was so hard and very chewy, terrible. The ham sandwich was ok but nothing to hype about. Location is bad, no parking no eating space. Prices are too high compared to quality of food. Not going back that's for sure read more

Soooo happy I finally tried this place. It's been on my list for a moment. I got the omelette sandwich which was perfection! Silky smooth perfectly cooked omelette with comté cheese and French salad. The cheese was so melty and delicious and the greens were dressed well. Just the right amount of dill on top. And the baguette had a wonderful texture and chew to it. One lady in the reviews complained it's too hard. It's a damn French baguette, it's not supposed to be pillowy soft. I think it was definitely the right vessel for the omelet du fromage (said in my best Dexter voice). Another person gave 3 stars because there was too much butter in her sandwich. It's French food my dear, no such thing as too much butter. I also got the pink praline pastry and ham and cheese croissant. I'm saving those for later today, but I took one bite of the pink praline and it's fabulous. It's sweet, soft and flakey. Haven't tried the ham and cheese croissant, but I'm excited too. Service was great, got there around 9:30am, no line and my sandwich was made to order and in my hands in about 5ish minutes. Very friendly person at the window and the chef looks adorable in their toque. There are plenty of meters right in front of the stand, so idk why some people are saying parking isn't easy. I got a spot no problem and was the only car other than a delivery truck. It's nice that their window is covered cause it was raining and I didn't bring an umbrella. Overall my experience was fantastic and I'll definitely be back to try their other sandwiches. read more

.... I can't stop thinking about this place. It's upsetting. I have work, friends, lovers, conversations I should be present for that ... but instead I am thinking, "sandwich ... sandwich ... sandwich". Eating Daniel's favorite sandwich reminded me why French culinary principles have had a STRANGLE hold on the culinary world of today. The sandwich was a harmonious melody of flavor as well as delicious solos. It followed the basic principles of salt, fat, acid and heat ... salty prosciutto, tangy cornichons, buttery crispy bread. They all came together as this beautiful mixture of flavors ... but also sometimes it was just very rich buttery bread ... and then at other times ... it was just a mouth full of salty prosciutto, and then it was a tangy little green pickle. It was harmonious and individualistic at the same time. I don't think a lot of sandwiches can do this, harmonious and individualistic. In my experience, sandwiches end up melting together flavors to make a uniform new thing. While I do love this ... sometimes when I get a sandwich with prosciutto ... I am actually really just looking to eat a fistful of prosciutto. This was that type of sandwich. It lets its individual ingredients sing and still has them come together and harmonize. It was beautiful ... it was delicious ... It was simple yet impactful. It was even more impressive because all the flavors were familiar? The ingredients themselves didn't seem to be particularly stellar? Stellar in the way that the prosciutto wasn't the most rare, 30 year-aged iberico ham, leader of the pack of wild boars, and imported overnight to LA. It was butter I was familiar with, prosciutto I've probably had, and cornichons I can probably pick up at a store. It was all accessible, familiar ... but I couldn't stop eating the sandwich. It actually makes me mad because it's so simple I could maybe make it myself ... and yet I never had. All this time I could have been making myself this delicious sandwich, but I didn't and honestly, I probably won't because it was relatively cheap, and centrally located. I got the half size of Daniel's favorite, and my friend got the half size of the carrot sandwich. It came out to be a little over 20 dollars. It was filling, it was satisfying ... and I will be back again. I can't wait. read more

Good food-not sure if almost $50.00 for two sandwiches is worth it. Nice store frontage. What's special is watching the owner/chef carefully assembling his sandwiches with pride. What's not special is being "greeted" to take your order by someone who acts like he would rather be someplace less. The young woman also working there looks the same. Too bad chef can't find help with more flair to go with the ambiance. read more

Really great sandwiches! Went there with family today, and the Jambon Beurre I got was delicious! Happy with the choice, the baguette they use is so crispy and the ham is very high quality. This is the popular one raved about on TikTok The omelette sandwich was also surprisingly good too tho! Don't sleep on it. The eggs were so fluffy and the bread was the perfect amount of hard crust/soft inside. 10/10 would recommend. Service was nice too :) read more

Maison Matho - Daniel's Favorite and Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Excellent Bread and Pastries made with care. Baguette has good crisp exterior and interior filled with big moist bubbles, good chewy texture perfect for their Ham Sandwiches. Loved their Croissants, super crispy flaky with slightly thicker layers that really captures an extra crispiness, so buttery and fragrant. Their Bakers really know what they're doing and make really good stuff!!! read more

Delish. Had half the bresola and half the French ham. The bresola was okay, nothing special, the HAM. Oh man that was delicious. A little bit of cheese would make this unbelievable, but it's great as is. Get a half if you're kind of hungry or want a larger than normal snack. Love how you can get half sizes! read more

One word: pistachio. That's all you need to know. Sandwiches, pastries, flavors. AMAZING!! Trés bien!

The baguettes here are some of my favorites on the east side. The croissants and pink praline brioche bun are also really good! Would definitely recommend swinging by if you're in the neighborhood -- I always recommend them to my friends when they're in the area! read more

LA has a dearth of great minimalistic sandwiches in my opinion. Most of the popular sandwiches have tons of stuff piled on them. The jambon beurre and Daniel's favorite are exactly what I've been looking for. read more

I don't mean to be rude but charging $30 for 1 sandwich seems criminal in this economy we live in. The service was okay, nothing too bad. I have been excited for months to try this spot out that I found on TikTok. Obsessed over it and finally after 4 months, we went to LA and I got to try it. It "Good" nothing I'd go crazy for and I'm sure I can find much better food for less. Unfortunately I just continued to eat it when I bit into what I thought may have been some type of sauce. It was bulks of butter!!! I opened up my sandwhich and scrapped off half of the sandwhich left which you see in the picture. I can't express how disgusted I felt. We had a day in LA planned and due to feeling nauseous after 30 min of eating that and burping constantly from the amount of butter, I had to go back home and rest. My stomach hurt and it was just awful. I never in my life want to ever bite into butter like I did. My fiancé was so disappointed. Due to the price I paid for basically butter, I will not be coming back here ever again because when I think of butter now, it brings me back to this awful day. Also, this wasn't even HALF of butter that came out. read more

Worse day! To be out of bread, the main ingredient of sandwich. This place can't handle the crowd for weekends? Is that what this place tells me? Don't bother driving there if you are not close by, we drove from Westside, so disappointed , no parking, seedy area. There's a huge line of people waiting for their sandwiches after ordering. Oh well. read more

The best croissant and sandwiches period. Service was excellent. Ktown secret . The croissant made with LOVE

This should be on the list of best sandwiches in LA Butter, baguette, ham, pickles. It was the best sandwich I've had in a while. I will say... I ordered a gem lettuce and paid for it. But it was not in the bad, which I did not check before I left. If the owner sees this, can I please get a partial refund? Taste: The baguette wasjust the right amount of chewy, fluffy, crunchy. It smelled fresh, lightly yeasty. Butter on sandwiches is incredible. I just want to eat more bread and butter. We got one prosciutto and one jambon sandwich. I preferred the ham, but they were pretty similar and tasty. The meat flavor doesn't overpower the rest of the sandwich, it really feels like you get a little bit of the bread, butter, meat and pickles. Experience: this is just a walk up window. They were quick with service, but as I mentioned, they forgot my gem lettuce order. I wish there were a park or somewhere to sit close by. They had just two very small tables on the sidewalk. Mood Before/After: I was hungry and a little irritable, but this was an incredible joy of a sandwich. Fullness: very full. I had a full sandwich. What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: I had some peanut butter pretzel things and a seltzer earlier. Not much substance. I was working before hand. I think this was the highlight of my day read more

If you are craving a thick Sammie and lattes, this is a good place to check out! I got the omelette sandwich - I LOVE the contrast between the creamy eggs & cheese with the crunchy baguette. Super yummy. Also tried my friends jambon beurre - The meat and pickles are delicious, get this if you don't want eggs. My only problem with the sandwiches are the amount of butter. I get that it's French and butter is a component, but my friend was literally picking off large globs of butter from her sandwich (and she's not afraid of fats or something like that...) The sandwiches also tend to fall apart halfway through eating them, which is somewhat unavoidable but just something to note. Praline latte and melrose fog - These are SO good but VERY sweet. I would definitely ask for half sweetness unless you like sweet drinks. Overall a really cool spot and I will be back to grab sandos and lattes for my next picnic day :) read more

I've had bread at all the best LA shops but this is the best. Like being in Buenos Aires or Paris... Owner didn't have a vegan sandwich for me just yet as he was changing that up in a few days. So he offered to sell me simple uncut baguette just out of the oven with peach preserves and vegan butter. My gf and I just looked at each other, and said "wow. Best baguette ever". And she traveled and eaten everywhere, South America, Europe... I'll end up being a fat vegan with Matho only 4 short blocks from home. read more

tldr: thought bread and slightly stale almond croissant The taste of the sandwich was great (bresaola) but the bread was so tough and hurt my jaw to eat. I loved the flavor of the pistachios, dijon, and meat-- i'm gonna recreate it at home. The almond croissant was underwhelming. Though it had a nostalgic flavor, it tasted slightly stale and the bread wasn't flaky and warm or fluffy but just flat and stretchy. If you're in a pinch, it's fast. But for $17, I think they have room for improvement. read more

Absolutely delicious....had the omelette sandwich with the roe and ordered a Jamon sandwich for later. The omelette sandwich is absolutely delicious, fresh, quality....the roe delicious and plentiful. But that damn bread.....the bread is a amazing...I got here before they opened just so I could have fresh baked bread and it was the best decision I made. Definitely worth the trip to Melrose but make sure you time it correctly for the fresh bread. read more

I feel like I had driven by this place a few times but never really made a solid enough note to self to go check it out or look it up. Then a friend, deeply passionate about food & bev (she owns a legendary noodle place in the South Bay) asked me to meet here there. When I landed, she had already eaten (we'd discussed this-she was hungry) but she'd saved half of a sandwich for me. It was the omelette sandwich and she'd added some legit jambon to the experience and half was enough -- omelette perfect and fluffy, ham light, salty and savory. And the baguette was textured, strong enough to hold up to the moisture inside, welcoming enough to sink your teeth into repeatedly without concern for the roof of your mouth. We hung out with Chef Daniel afterwards. I had no idea that they baked their own baguettes. Amazing. No wonder they were so good. My friend grabbed a pain au chocolat (I wasn't offered half but it's okay) and we were on our way to our next stop, a gallery. The storefront is joyfully painted, parking was easy, and there is a small but cozy sitting area off to the side. There is a lot more menu to explore and I plan to do it. Kudos to Chef Daniel and team for creating a new gem. Sandwich culture is thriving in LA, and Maison Matho is surely contributing to the conversation. read more

Fcukin incredible, such an awesome vibe of a little spot. Just the chill atmospheric setup caught my attention. Ordered a latte and I had to sit down to enjoy it. Finished the latte and noticed they were baking something I didn't see on the menu. Pastries, dear baby Jesus. The man casually whips out a basket from the back that looks like it came from a bakery in Switzerland. He wasted his breath describing the items, my eyes had already seen the almond croissant, that siht was mine. I bought the living daylights out of that pastry and was instantly transcended to my place of birth in 50 lifetimes all at once and yet in different moments. Lifechanging taste and experience. Very kind people that let a grown man stare off into the distance with a mouthful of ambrosia while childhood memories are flooding in a single moment and tear. Watch out for cars, the cars are real and don't stop, fairy tail experience limited to the curbside stand. read more

Adorable little window with fantastic pastries and baguette sandwiches! They bake their own baguettes fresh daily and also serve some unique cafe drinks along w the classics. You've probably driven right by it a million times on Melrose but it's definitely worth stopping for a sandwich or even better, their huge Brunch Box! They have a little alcove w tables as well as tables and chairs out front. Street parking can be challenging. read more

Jamón Beurre is their best sandwich. It has the perfect amount of butter and ham. The bread is fresh and crunchy. The praline latte iced is also a hit. Staff is friendly. There is a small patio where you can enjoy your food. Overall is a great place for lunch. read more

Free Street parking, not meter but limited. There is free parking in the back of these restaurants if you follow my directions. From the freeway direction (6B exit), drive on Melrose Ave. The restaurant will be on your life side. Pay attention to the light/intersections between Melrose Ave & N Harvard Blvd (left side); turn left at the light and guarantee parking spots will be on your right. You can also park at Harvard Blvd but pay attention to the sign; it might be hard to find since it's a residential area. Miss these two spots, I promise you, it's hard to find parking and takes a long time to turn over since it's a bustling street and tiny. Outdoor seatings Food and drink rating: 4/5. Long wait, so I suggest ordering online then picking up. Order at the location can take up to 15-20 mins waiting depending on the peak time. Have fun and Bon appétit without angry moods with LA traffic read more

The sandwiches here are absolutely phenomenal. We got half bresaola, half jambon beurre, and half daniel's favourite. The jambon beurre and daniel's favourite were paired with thick creamy butter which complimented the meat harmoniously. The bresaola had pistachios, fennel shavings, and a green purée which was delicious. The meats used here are fresh and soft, almost melting in your mouth. The bread is a little tough but typical of French style sandwiches, just be careful when eating because I cut open the roof of my mouth but it was worth it! read more

I've held off reviewing Maison Matho for quite some time now, not because I wasn't sure how I felt, but because I wasn't sure if I wanted to let the world know about my favorite coffee spot in Los Angeles. Alas, I cannot hide this gem any longer, the people need to know. Atmosphere: Small pink spot on Melrose before the freeway. If you drive faster than the speed limit, you just might miss it. Two bistro tables with benches outside of the walk up windows (no indoor seating or access). But some how there's always a spot on the bench for me. Food/drink: this is where I am limited. I am a creature of habit, so when I tell you I have only eaten one item in the many times I've been here, that's only a compliment to the Omelette Sandwich. I'll never look at eggs the same. From the crunchy and perfectly toasted baguette, to the fresh greens and melted cheese inside the slightly soft and hot omelette inside (plus I add prosciutto, highly recommend). There are no words to describe this item besides perfect. My favorite part about this spot are the people. I wish I spent more time talking to them, however the chef (in a full chef hat that is definitely hiding a rat who controls his arms) and the woman who has also helped me are such a breath of fresh air. They are truly the nicest and most genuine people I have come across. They care about your order, they walk out your food and drink, and they're just what you want served alongside your breakfast and Pink Praline latte. Note to add: you can order ahead online, but until you go up to the window and let them know you're there, they won't prepare your food or drinks, as they want to serve it fresh. Although I'd love to keep this place all to myself, it would be a shame for the world not to have a taste as well. 10/10 recommend. read more

Wow talk about quality best lattes in town. Next time I'll be getting a full sandwich.

Small menu, small place. Everything we got was great. Loved the melrose fog, ham and butter sandwich and pastry. The grapefruit brûlée was a little weird, but otherwise so nice and really really FRENCH! read more

But like why does getting an expensive coffee take so dam long here even when there is no line? I've come here a few times and regardless of how many people in front of me or how many team members they have back there it just always seems to take long. I've been here 10 mins and I can't get my dam latte in a timely manner. Also why don't they have cold brew? It's 2023 (almost 2024) and y'all can't make a simple iced coffee? Over priced and overhyped LA bs over here. Coffee is literally just ok. Cheers! read more

- Almond Croissant - best in the city 5 stars! The orange blossom really brought out the sweet almond flavor and complimented it so well. I have been searching for one this good for quite a while. These croissants beat out all the ones I've tried in san francisco's viral spots where people wait in long lines. Maison Matho ought to have more fun and do more creative ones to get more attention but jeep up this quality! This flavor was perfection. Now to what I thought could be improved: - Chocolate pistachio croissant - 4 stars because the chocolate was a bit darker and more bitter than i wanted but otherwise so amazing with pistachio. I would prefer pistachio cream with white chocolate or milk chocolate but I know tons of others would like it as it is. I liked thenine at lodge bread company but theirs didn't have pistachio, which is awesome. They used a milk chocolate in theirs. - Kouign Amann - Vegan: 2 stars. It needs sugar so badly! Sugar is vegan. It tasted savory - not sweet, like a sourdough knot. It was missing the goo in the middle - sugar butter. You can make that vegan. Need more flavors! So appreciate these croissants tasted like butter and not grease. The ones in San Francisco made my tummy ill because of the grease. These did not! So delicious. Very french style which might be the reason. read more

Really good! Nice people! Yummy good quality sandwiches, good ingredients. Cute shop and quick service. Love!

I drove a long way today to be told that they are out of bread. Parking is probably worse than no sandwiches.

The baguette had a bit of mold so i took it off but the jambon sandwich was nice and simplistic, the ravioli was spectacular and the 6 minute egg was great id love to replicate. The melrose fog was nice as well creamy light n sweet but everything else was alright i mean it hits great if you miss france. read more

After hearing so much about Maison Matho we took the 20 drive and arrived at 1:15 pm after many traffic setbacks. To our surprise Everything was sold out except the sides. Recommendation from the staff: order on line AHEAD of when you want to eat. Phone ahead if you're on the fly to just drop in. Was very disappointed. Most likely will not attempt to drive there again, sadly. And for a sandwich that's way too much prepping with calling ahead etc..... C'le vie I guess Great for them but not so much for us the customer read more
