We tried a pancetta biscuit and a kouign amann, perhaps the world's best pastry with the craziest name. Both of them were excellent. The crust on each item was perfect. The triple chocolate iced drink was extremely chocolately, as you might expect a "triple chocolate" drink to be. For my taste, it was not very complex but for a caffeine/chocolate rush, I cannot complain. Street parking only. Parking is a little tough in this area. If I lived closer, I would work my way through every baked good here. Many of them looked like little works of art.

I have been on this pastry journey for 6 months trying to find these fruit like pastries. I told my…read moredaughter when I was coming to L.A. to find the best place near her place. She took me here. The place was very clean and tidy with a lot of different types of sweet treats. I was there for one thing only. I did ask the gal working if they were made that day and she said yes. We ordered a raspberry, an orange, a coffee bean and the popular mango. This was my 2nd time trying these and our hopes were high BUT the raspberry was just awful the filling was strange and it had just raspberry jam inside,I dint eat it. The mango was okay so we shared that. The coffee bean was just awful as well so we didn't finish that either. The orange was the best of the group but overall just a disappointing experience once again because these are not cheap. I'm starting to think I might just have to give up my journey to find these although there are some places in Vegas that look promising. I don't think Reno has any bakeries that make these. They look so beautiful but the taste is a let down.

Taco man - Reminded us of taco bell seasoning. 10/10 Niku - 4/10. Expected more pork, too much veggie. at first i thought they gave me the mushroom and veggie because the mushroom flavor was so strong. Pizza - Tomato sauce and pepperoni with corn throughout. 10/10. Curry Man - 10/10 so yummy There were more options in the middle casings including hot dog buns, $4.25 medium size pizzas, and other sweet and savory baked goods

3 Stars = "OK" and that was what it was…read more Service was good even though it was busy. I heard about their steamed bun being good so the side quest of the day was to get some. We ended up with a chicken, pork and beef one. They were piping hot and the bread itself was nice and soft. But the filling was very mushy until the more meatloaf like texture that I'm used to with these types of buns. I was not a fan of any of the buns. The plain bread part was great, but the filling was just mush and salty. Out of the 3, I would say the pork one was the better one.

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.

It has a much higher ratio of whipped cream to pudding or banana, but it was real banana instead of that fake banana flavor you often see so I respect it. Key Lime Icebox Bar: Objectively good, nothing wrong with this. Very tart!! Staff was super friendly and to my surprise there was no one there when I went on a weekday. Cute space!! I'd be curious to come back and try the toppings on the banana pudding and I would definitely come back for the cupcakes.

Also, had the apple turnover which was enough to make me increased to start reading from one to me. I still think it was for customer service not address the undercooked for sandwich and then making us wait for such a long time to bring us the new dish. We ended up having to go to the event hungry. However, when we got back to the hotel, we were able to re-cook the sandwich and it turned out fine. I would still give this restaurant chance, especially since their baguettes and pastries are delicious. Disappointing. Sadly not what it used to be. Bottega Louis WAS our favorite go to restaurant when we visit LA. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We ordered the Louis Salad with blue crab and Croque Madame. While the salad was as delicious as I remembered, the Croque Madame was completely undercooked and the bread was soggy. We returned the sandwich as asked them to grill it longer. It took so long to recook that we had to leave and they gave it to us in a togo box without even an apology. Even the bread that they serve with the meal has gone downhill. We ended up buying a baguette. At least the baguettes are still decent. But overall a disappointing lunch.
