This is my second time coming here, and I definitely plan to come more often. Today, I stopped in as a way to "kill time" before meeting friends nearby for dinner, and I'm glad I did. I had the almond croissant and a blood orange sparkling refresher. Both were delicious. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and just sweet enough, and the refresher was perfect for a warm afternoon. The space is comfortable and inviting, the staff is friendly, and it's a great spot to sit and relax for a while. I also noticed they have some really good combo specials, so I'll have to come back hungry next time. Two visits, two great experiences. Sweet Wheat is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Culver City. read more

Sweet Wheat in Culver City is such a delightful little spot! The French baguette was absolutely delicious, and the service was so lovely and welcoming. I had the salmon lunch special and it was so yummy! Everything felt fresh, cozy, and reasonably priced. Such a sweet place for a date, a little self-care moment, or simply treating yourself to something delicious. Definitely a spot I'd happily visit again! read more

Sweet Wheat - Smoked Salmon Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

Not an authentic French patisserie by any means. Do not let the grand physical space of this bakery deceive you. I ordered an assortment of pastries, from pan au chocolates to caneles, and not one of them tasted freshly warm, nor were they aligned with the proper texture that one should feel when biting into an authentic pastry of the type that they each corresponded to. In other words, the chocolate croissant was not flaky, nor was its outer-layer crispy, unlike how an authentic pan au chocolate should be. The same relational scenario applies to Sweet Wheat's canales and an authentic canale. The two-star rating is only merited because of their regular, always-applicable discount on pastries, wherein the 4th bought pastry is free after buying 3 pastries. I do not recommend this bakery. Service was great, but that's the only positive of this establishment. read more

Somehow, Yelp made this place looks extra good. All the pastries and etc got me wanting to try this place. It was nice that they have their own parking lot. They had indoors and outdoors seating. Pretty cute place. The display had a variety of stuff...sweets, savory and even soup. We ordered the vanilla flan, crème brûlée, hazelnut chocolate chip cookie, and wild mushroom soup. When I asked about the soup, the staff was like it was one of his favs. He kept hyping it up lol he even said that the kitchen will make a fresh one for me. Of the 3 items, the soup was the worse lol it was super salty. The bread that came with it helped a lot. The hazelnut chocolate was raw lol I think one of the yelpers mentioned it. They warmed up the cookie, but it wasn't melted or anything. Literally eating raw dough..smh it was also super sweet The vanilla flan and crème brûlée were decent. It wasn't so sweet. It was good, but nothing special about it. Service was great. Prob not gonna return, but it was a nice place to chill and chat. read more

Stopped by Sweet Wheat after Pilates on a weekday morning and had such a nice experience. I ordered the French omelet with warm fresh bread and added the French butter, which was definitely worth it. I sat outside in the street-facing patio seating, which is a great place to relax and enjoy downtown Culver City for a bit. Quiet enough to work on my laptop, plus free Wi-Fi. There was also a French family sitting nearby, which really added to the atmosphere. Not exactly replacing a trip to Paris, but close enough for a weekday morning in Culver City. Joe, who took my order and brought out the food, was especially kind and attentive. He even helped open the umbrella for my table, which I appreciated. I also grabbed a madeleine, a baguette, and a canelé to go. Everything was delicious. Already told friends and family about the pastries. Very friendly service, solid food, and an easy spot to spend a slow morning. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I really wanted to like Sweet Wheat after seeing it online, but their pastries are just not good. It was about $25 for 4 (they run a B3G1 promo). The hazelnut opera cake had potential, but something about the chocolate tasted artificial and too sweet. Both the pear and apple tartlets were soggy. We could only take one bite of the lemon meringue tart before tossing it. Their espresso drinks are fine. They're made from a beverage machine. The cafe itself is stunning, and the service was great, but I can't say their pastries are worth trying. read more

Sweet Wheat - Inside - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

Food is good but the operation is terrible. Employees were working hard but it is very disorganized. Management needs to redesign the work flow. The sneeze guard is too high and staff barely hears what customers say. They kept asking what customers said. Microwave needs to be moved close to check stand. Otherwise they need to add more staff to take care of customers. Long line before checkout but seats are not quite occupied. read more

Honestly, a bit disappointed with my overall experience here. I expected something different. I thought you went down the line and ordered your pastries, coffee, quick breakfast items, etc. and then sat yourself. I didn't realize it was full service, sit down. But we adapt. Our waiter Sal, was great. Only waiter on shift, working both the inside and outside. I ordered the French omelette. Very basic. Nothing to ooh and aah over. Came with a simple side salad and toast. Disappointment #1: the toast does not come with butter. If you want butter, you have to pay for it because it is extra special French butter. I would suggest that basic butter be offered with the option to upgrade for a fee. Disappointment #2: no refills on coffee. What. I feel like butter and coffee are two of the cheapest things to provide with a meal, yet made such an impact with me. We were seriously flabbergasted that these things were not provided. Took home a chocolate mousse, mini chocolate croissant and this special French butter. I hoped the mousse would be more authentically French, it was not. The croissant was fine. Salted butter is good. Will I be back? Realistically, probably not. Bonus: Service was good, outdoor patio is nice. I love European seating style. Bogus: still stuck on the no butter and no coffee refills. read more

Have you ever walked into an establishment and wanted to eat everything? This was my experience at here. They do a beautiful job of displaying their baked goods. Their lighting is warm and inviting. Even better, they have different specials which are displayed on the overhead menu board. They also have a rewards program so make sure to sign up before you go. They have these delicious croutons that they make themselves out of leftover bread and you could taste the freshness of the herbs. They are so delicious. I tried a sample last time I went. I usually park across the street at the Trader Joe's parking structure. read more

Sweet Wheat - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

I visited right around when they first opened and fell in love. It's great having such a nice and new restaurant in culver city. The prices are slightly higher than normal, but I think that's just par for the course of living in Los Angeles nowadays. One lovely thing I noticed is that they sell french butter as well. So, if you're looking for some really well made butter at $10.00 each, then you've found your place! read more

Newly opened, Sweet Wheat is sure to become a neighborhood gem. Modeled as a classic French patisserie, the cafe offers much more than that. There are the pastries and breads, of course, but for those who want something more, there's enough options (soups, sandwiches, pizzas, bowls, etc) to have a satisfying meal. Service is friendly and quick. The vibe is definitely reminiscent of a modern French cafe. read more

Sweet Wheat - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

Great selection of pastries and sweets, with plenty of options to choose from. They currently have a buy 3, get 1 free promotion on pastries, which is a great deal considering some of the prices can be on the steep side. I tried a few different croissants and cookies, and the hazelnut cookie was definitely my favorite. I also tried a fun-shaped French toast with chocolate, which was quite good. Everything was good, but be warned--they are VERY sweet. Obviously these are meant to be treats, but for my taste there was just a little too much sugar going on. There was quite a line when I visited on a Saturday morning, so it seems to be a popular spot. Parking can also be tricky. If you're lucky, there's dedicated free parking at the back; otherwise, you can try metered street parking depending on the time of day, or one of the nearby public parking structures, some of which offer the first hour or so free. Great vibes all around, and friendly service. read more

I've been to Sweet Wheat three or four times this year. Today was the final reminder not to ever come again. I genuinely don't get the concept - you line up to order but they don't have enough people to serve anyone in an orderly fashion. Even when it's "quick" it's still confusing to customers and employees. Use a numbering system at least if you want to stick to this concept. But it's just frustrating to wait in line and not know when you'll be served. On one of the previous visits, the staff ignored me (and my 4 year old kid) and just went to the French speaking group behind me. Twice. I guess they do say they are a French bakery, so the attitude must be a feature, not a bug. Today, I was the first in line (again, with my kid). Nobody was in front of me. Yet staff walked back and forth, not even acknowledging my presence. They didn't seem busy. Just didn't seem to care. After staring at this for 7-8 minutes, and feeling my blood starting to boil, I left and vowed never to come back. The guy actually stuck his head out of the window and yelled for me to come back. You could've just said "hi, we'll be with you shortly" when I was inside and not walk past me several times. And I'm not a foodie, so ambiance and service carry most of the weight. But the food is also meh. The coffee is made by those office espresso machines. They can't even pull a proper espresso here. The pastries are good. The mains are hit and miss. I do like their quiches - some of the best in LA. The rest of the food is middling. It's a shame. The space is nice and airy. It's kid friendly enough. As others have said, they have their own parking lot. But they seem to choose to undermine what could be a good (not great) place by insisting on a terrible service model at which they are terrible in executing. read more

Ambiance: it's a spacious corner spot bakery and brunch place, large outdoor seating area, and plenty of sofa seats inside, there isn't any clear sign and order, such as chaotic system for ordering and picking up, and their dirty utensils were concerning Service: disorganized and loud noises, hard to hear what the cashiers said, both the customers and staff have to walk through different sections for pastry, sandwiches, other breads, and coffee to place the order, which made it so difficult for multiple customers to place orders at the same time Food & Drink: overwhelming items on their menu, and there's no clear instruction Smoked Salmon Sandwich - ** Avocado Crème Fraîche, Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Atlantic Smoked Salmon, and Chives, missing ingredients and bread was so dry Chicken Pesto Panini - *** NutFree Pesto, Olive Oil, Arugula, Tomatoes, Stracciatella Cheese, NonGMO FreeRange Chicken, and Fresh Basil, average taste Millefeuille Vanille - **** Caramelized Laminated Puff Pastry, French Isigny Butter and Vanilla Custard Cream, crispy and creamy, recommend Raspberry Tart - *** Shortcrust Tartlet, Almond Cream, Tahitian Vanilla Cream, Mixed Berries Jam, and Raspberries, average taste Medium Roast - *** drip coffee Cappuccino - * tasted so watery Price: mediocre taste and overpriced for the quality, expect $25+ per person read more

Visited this place early before 9 am. Place looked beautiful. Peaceful. Like the perfect place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee. Spacious both inside and outside. There is plenty of parking available, I could see it being quite difficult on the weekends though. The place was not too busy but it felt that way because there were only 2 servers. So it took a minute to order. Not a problem, in fact I thought my server was quite nice. But I did feel as if she felt the pressure of the line building up, I too felt a bit rushed. This only sucks cause as a first timer and with so much to choose from, I like to ask for recommendations. Ordered a Wagyu Short Ribs Cheese Panini and a Parisian Sandwich. Both of which I felt lacked a lot of taste and texture. The chew of the bread was tough, lacked salt and was missing that aroma I love . I ordered my sandwiches hot and to go. I only traveled a couple of miles by car and when I got home my sanwiches were already cold. Didn't even look like they had been toasted. I must admit that the only thing I liked about my Parisian sandwich was the butter spread. Ordered a few pastries. A few apple turnovers, croissants, and a couple of brioche donuts filled with vanilla custard. The apple turnovers have nice flaky texture but it's butter aftertaste was a bit overwhelming. I love butter but this was not a great taste. The apple filling could have been just a little sweeter. Same with the custard, I could hardly taste the sweetness or vanilla. The donut was a bit dry. I also ordered a vanilla latte. It was ok. Not great. The coffee was hardly hot and didn't not taste like much. I'm sorry. I was so excited for this place, but after eating the turnover and half of my sandwich, all I can taste is butter. I wish it would have been better. read more

Such a cute space and even more Parisian bistro vibes than their Redondo Beach location. We came in on a weekday morning and it was pretty chill and quiet, but picked up a bit more as we got closer to lunch. I do really love their olive bread and they even have small tubes of delicious french butter to pair with it. Prob would advise staying away from their matchas - it was very milky and probably from a powder mix. I really wish Sweet Wheat had more hot food options because then it would really be a great place for a meal. Your choices here are mostly limited to stuff like quiches and sandwiches that can be heated up. For such a lovely space, wish there were some more options. Did notice table cards advertising for happy hour spreads. read more

Had a lovely lunch and bought some delicious bread. I recommend it. Was there during the week and it wasn't overly crowded.

The interior was clean, spacious, and aesthetic with beautiful pastries. Unfortunately, they were overpriced and disappointing given the lack of quality and flavor. Service could have been faster, but understandably it was the first day of opening. The servers would go back and forth from the back fridge and then back to me each time I pointed to an item which took a lot of time. They were also taking quite a while to ring up my pastries at the cashier, but I did appreciate their friendliness and welcoming deals. They had buy 3 get 2 pastries (for cakes only) and buy 3 get 1 pastry deals on select items. I found it interesting that the promos differed depending on the product: baguettes, croissants, cakes, or pastries. With a large variety of items from breakfast to bowls, sandwiches, soups, and coffee, it seems to be a great cafe and lunch spot. Sadly the pastries were disappointing. For $6.25-$7.90, the price point was definitely high. Some items I tried: - caramelized apple 3" $7.50 3/5 Lots of sour apples and the bottom pastry crust was more like soaked dough, not flaky or buttery. - flan $7.90 2/5 This one was powdery. It was creamy, but not really cheesy or sweet and just tasted like powdered milk. - morello cherries clafoutis $6.25 1/5 Sour, tart cherries with chewy dough texture that tasted undercooked. - apricot raisen orange blossom cake $6.25 2/5 Same undercooked chewy dough texture and couldn't really taste the different flavors besides raisins. - salted caramel apple cake $6.25 2/5 Same undercooked banana-bread dough texture with bland cooked apples and super sweet caramel. - mini almond croissant (free for opening week) 4/5 this one was probably the best; flaky, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and had a sweet almond paste in the center. So sad the pastries I tried were not good and so expensive :( read more

Located in downtown Culver City, this new french shop has replaced the previous shake shack and they are definitely shaking things up with their fresh brunch menu. You can smell their smoked salmon when you walk by and their selection of desserts and pastries will make your mouth water. The service was great, quick, and attentive with outdoor seating for those wanting to soak in the sun. I will definitely be back to taste more of their pastries next time! order: smoked salmon sandwich, quiche, fresh orange juice Comments: A spot for people dining outside to put their plates if they don't have the trays anymore. Currently there is only an outdoor rack to put your trays on. read more

This is a new location that opened in downtown Culver not too long ago. I was excited to try it, and it did not disappoint! Walking in felt heavenly because all around me were beautiful and delicious looking pastries, sandwiches, and other French offerings that my hungry belly and heart wanted to try. I wanted one of each, but I had to show a bit of restraint for the sake of my bank account and my waist. They currently have a special deal for pastries: buy 3 pastries, get one free. I chose the mix berry tartlet, lemon meringue tartlet, chocolate mousse, and raspberry macron. Everything was delicious. My only critique would be for the mixed berry tartlet. I could use a bit more cream in the middle under the berries. The bread/tart crust is a bit thick, so the ratio of cream and bread was a bit off. It is also because the cream is so delicious, I really wanted more. The lemon meringue is a bit more on the tart side than sweet, but I prefer it that way. I don't like my desserts to be excessively sweet. The raspberry macron was delicious. It also has cream in the middle with fresh raspberries that made it feel like I was on a French vacation instead of my lunch break. I also ordered an iced chai latte, and it was also delicious. It felt like I was getting a hug from the inside of my belly. When I visited, it was busy because it was lunch time, so navigating the line was a bit difficult because several servers are helping several patrons at once, so it may be a bit difficult to keep track of your server as you move forward in the line. People like to take their time looking at the offerings so the line gets congested. I don't blame the customers who take a bit longer to decide on their orders at all. I took a bit long too because it was all so delicious looking! There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors even during the lunch rush. read more

From Redondo Beach to Culver City, here Sweet Wheat came with its brand new location, which thankfully is way closer for me! Being a regular around the area, I have seen multiple establishments came and went away on the same space. Not complaining certainly as it just meant another new one to try, and now that it's Sweet Wheat, absolutely thrilled! The options they offered were nothing less than rich. Lots of pastries and cakes to try with even good deals (free 1 of a-kind) f you ordered beyond 3 pieces. It's interesting that some pastries were offered in petite size. I know the Redondo one provided online pre-order option so I assumed they likely brought that to this newly opened one as well, including the longer operational hours. It's right across the Culver Steps so very easy to find. Many parking garage nearby at affordable rates if you couldn't find street parking. They're super early bird, opening their door from 6:30 AM. Surprisingly it's already kind of busy even before eight. I tried to make a stop during my run and ended up finding myself in trouble bringing back a huge bag of pastries. Some of those I got: Mini Almond croissant 3.5/5 (maybe 4 if reheated) Pain au Choc 3.5/5 Canele 3/5 Blueberry Madeleine 3.5/5 Chocolate French Toast 4/5 The croissants were delicious and properly stuffed even the mini ones, which was a rare find. If they could be reheated I could see them knock it off the park. Canele was decent with crunch outside and chewy inside, but I wouldn't call it my top list. The blueberry madeleine to my surprise got me pleased, prolly with the extra stuffing that elevated overall taste. The french toast was truly the star being so moist and rich. Beware it's tad heavy so recommended to share. They provided huge dine-in space with classic French touch in the design. Outdoor patio seats were certainly my pick if I were to dine in, while enjoying the hustle bustle of Culver City! read more

This restaurant is so inviting, there is French piano music playing and they have some have mini fried flowers at each table. This restaurant is open and spacious. You order at the counter, do not forget to sign up for rewards you get $5 off on your second purchase plus other discounts so it's worth signing up. The service was fast and helpful and they even signed me up for the rewards quickly at the register. The pastry case is mesmerizing and tall items can be heated for you if. If I ever need bread again I know where I'm going, this place has such wonderful looking baked goods. The juices appear to be popular as many people around me got the orange juice. I got the smoked salmon avocado crossaint sandwich and the person at the register even added in a complementary mini pastry, they seem to be very generous and were also handing those mini pastries out to some small children in line as well. I saw they also have a daily happy hour with wine cocktails and German beers. I spotted a $23 bottomless mimosa on the menu for one hour per person, you get prosecco and fresh squeezed orange juice as long as you are seated and order food as well. I will for sure be back. read more

First off, I must reveal that Murphy the Doodle and I were just minding our own business, taking a walk in Culver City yesterday when we stumbled upon Sweet Wheat, an artisan French Bakery and Bistro on Culver Blvd. Sweet Wheat was created by French brothers Romain and Alexandre Lecat who were raised near Paris and trained at l' Ecole de Boulangerie et de Patisserie de Paris. Their baked goods use non-GMO flour and bring the tradition of Paris to Culver City and Redondo Beach. Every croissant is hand-rolled and the warmth of French hospitality can be felt from the moment you walk into the beautiful dining area or lovely outside patio. Breads are beautifully displayed and include freshly made baguettes, Country Sourdough, Olive Rosemary Sourdough, Apricot Raisin Sourdough, Cranberry and Walnut Sourdough, and French Dinner Rolls-all under $10. The breads and sandwiches (Smoked Salmon, Chicken Pesto, Parisian Ham and Cheese, etc) are something to be marveled at but the pastry case is where I lost my willpower. Croissants abound and also come in mini sizes. They are light and flaky, buttery and delicious served as a Ham and Cheese warmed sandwich. The Palmiers made from puff pastry, french Isigny butter (i use this at home-addicitng!) and cane sugar are delicious, crunchy, and not too sweet. The stand alone in the pastry case is the Kougin Amann-laminated puff pastry and Isigny butter-and OMG this deserves a star on the Walk of Fame. This is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. Isigny bytter comes from grass-fed cows, has coarse salt and costs $17 for 8 oz. It better be good! And it is. I may or may not have bought 3 more. Macarons abound in flavors like vanilla, raspberry, lemon, pistachio, chocolate, and red velvet plus many more. Tartlets, quiche, soups, and salads round out the menu. I cannot wait to return to this little jewel box. read more

Apparently, there is another sweet wheat somewhere else, but this is the first time I've been to this one. It's a pretty big spot where they make a ton of different pastries. I got the pain au chocolate. It was flaky and delcious. They are transparent with their gluten advertisement incase anyone is curious but they won't say gluten free but low gluten. The service was good and the ambiance was clean and updated the burger chain it used to be. I hope this place succeed since it is on the side of downtown Culver City where there isn't a lot of traffic read more

Los Angeles has so many great spots for food and pastries; one really needs to stand out to make an impression: I don't think Sweat Wheat even tries. The kouign-amann was stale (!) with no smokey/salty caramel taste in sight. The cannelè was buttery, but the distinctive vanilla/rum flavour was not there (I was excited to see they had this item, and it was quite disappointing). The ham, egg and cheese croissant felt heavy with butter, without giving a flavourful satisfaction. It felt like it belonged to a mass-produced supermarket, not to a French bakery. The pain aux raisins...at least had good raisins. I am astounded to know the owners are from France. There are places (even the nearby Culver City location) that have far better French pastries made by non-French people. read more

Update: it got worse. Came home with the stapled bag that they gave me. Missing a drink that was paid for. Also, why is the food so bland? Chicken Pesto sandwich had no flavor. Chicken was rough and dry. Also, ham and egg croissant was underwhelming. The scrambled eggs were rubbery like they were reheated instead of made fresh. Vanilla Latte was more milk than coffee, tasted like Vanilla Creamer, instead of coffee with vanilla. And the most basic chocolate croissant wasnt special. We spent close to $100 on 2 sandwiches, 2 bottled drinks, a chocolate croissant and an iced latte. Could have gone down the street to Coffee Bean, spend less than half that, and probably enjoy it more. read more

Beautiful bakery. Terrible cookie. I ordered the Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie because it looked incredible -- thick, glossy, perfectly styled, expensive little bakery cookie energy. I even asked them to warm it up. The employee told me it "fell apart" while heating and would be "gooey and delicious." It wasn't gooey. It was raw. Not "soft-centered." Not "chewy." Literally raw dough in the middle. Wet, pasty, underbaked cookie batter. The thing completely collapsed when handled because the interior was never properly baked in the first place. Afterward, I checked reviews and realized other people have complained about the exact same issue, so this clearly isn't a one-off mistake. It honestly feels like they're intentionally underbaking these cookies to preserve the fancy hazelnut topping aesthetic for Instagram photos instead of actually finishing the bake properly. And the frustrating part is this is completely avoidable. If the toppings are the issue, add them later or during the final minute of baking like plenty of professional bakeries do. Don't serve customers raw dough and call it "gooey." For almost six dollars, this was honestly disgusting. management needs to address this at the source IMMEDIATELY. someone is going to get seriously sick if they keep this up, unacceptable. read more

I was really excited to try this place for the first time, but unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience. First of all, the operation seemed very disorganized and the wait was extremely long. When I finally thought it was my turn, a young female staff member didn't ask who was next or check the order at all. Instead, she immediately started helping someone who had arrived after me simply because they were standing in front of her. I continued waiting, but when I finally asked why I had been skipped, she acted as if she didn't know what I was talking about and didn't even apologize. The way I was treated honestly made me feel like I was being discriminated against as an Asian customer. Later, a male staff member came after me and explained that she was new, busy, and probably confused. However, there were only three groups of customers waiting, including me, and there were three staff members working. I also work in a customer-service environment, and even when we are busy, we make sure customers are served in the correct order and communicate with each other so no one is overlooked. The location is great, and I had really been looking forward to trying this place, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after the way I was treated, I don't think I will ever come back. read more
