The mochi twist was delicious and I knew it would be because I like mochi donuts. What I didn't expect to be delicious and likely my favorite treat here was the dinosaur churro. If she didn't insist I think I would choose that last or gave it away. BUT I did try it and fell in love with it. I did share other items selected by my friend who was with me and did not get to taste them. The baristas were fun and friendly as they prepared our coffee. I was in deep thought waiting and one asked if I was okay and I said I was very good after coming back to the present. I'll be back for more dinosaur churros, coffee and other yummy treats.

The cookies are large and thick and filled with a LOT of chocolate chips. The service was top notch, quick and easy. We ended up getting the two chip chocolate chip (love the name) and the dark chocolate chocolate chip but they have a ton of other flavors. Will definitely be coming back to taste the others that they have! Side notes: the packaging is so cute and aesthetic and did someone say free postcard?

it's my second time back and I am still in love with their pastries and now they have capybara…read moredecorations. even after a year their pastries are still consistent and delicious. their pastries are still flaky and not too oily or sweet. We went on a weekday around 11am and there was still a good selection of pastries, but sadly some were sold out already. elderflower rhubarb danish (4.5/5): one of their brunch specials and it was delightfully tart but sweet at the same time. the flavors really balanced each other out. passion fruit cruffin (4.8/5): my favorite from this visit. you can really taste the passion fruit and it was tart and sweet but not too sweet. very balanced flavor. if anything I wish they had added more passion fruit. garlic chive knot (4/5): another one of their brunch specials. also pretty good but I just wish there was more garlic and chives. the flavor was more mild than I'd prefer but it was still good. parking: small parking lot but there is street parking options available. seating: good amount of outdoor seating I think shared with the rest of the plaza but it wasn't too busy when I went. **when adding an update to my 2025 review I accidentally removed the original pastry photo from then so I had to add it back in **

Been eyeing this spot for quite some time. Parking is easy they have a parking lot but very limited…read morespace, parking on York Blvd didn't seem to have any restrictions either. Not too sure how weekend parking is, I visited on a Wednesday around noon. Neighborhood residential street might be a good option for parking on Avenue 47 but street sweeping (No Parking) is from 8-10am Wednesday on one side and Thursday on the other side. Orange Blossom Almond Croissant -personally was disgusting, orange blossom was extremely strong. Too fragrant that it tasted like a floral bath bomb or soap. Some do like this but it wasn't for me. Tofu Cloud Croissant Toast -cream on top was pretty salted, to help balance the caramelized sugar that helps press the croissant into a toast. Overall, it wasn't wasn't bad but wasn't good and slightly too salted. Passionfruit Croiffin- texture of the croissant/muffin was great! Buttery, flaky and light. Passionfruit cream filling wasn't too sweet. I loved the tart passionfruit seeds. But you might want to scoop some out if you don't enjoy too much sourness. Elderflower Rhubarb Danish - way too crunchy, would prefer it to be crispy instead of a crunch. Filling was good, not too sweet. Black Sesame Parisian Flan -if you love black sesame, this would be right up your alley. Perfect sweet treat to bring to any auntie's home! Blueberry Tea Scone -not too dense. Surprisingly not too sweet even with the demerara sugar coating. It wasn't really crunchy but more sticky and caramelized from sitting.

Pretty glad we stumbled across this place because everything we tried was really good. We got a couple of pastries and a croissant and honestly they were all pretty solid. The croissant especially was really buttery and flaky, hit the spot for sure. I will say that everything looked almost too good to eat but we managed. No complaints at all on the quality, you can tell they put a lot of care into what theyre making. The staff was pretty nice and helpful when we were trying to figure out what to order since we couldnt really decide. Not a huge deal but it was a busy morning and things moved along pretty smoothly. Overall pretty great little bakery. If youre looking for a spot to grab some quality pastries and maybe a coffee this is definitely worth checking out. Would definitely come back next time were in the area.

Champignon: Hazelnut crunch at the bottom with hazelnut creme. The mushroom cap had a small layer of sponge cake and hazelnut creme on top. Lychee rose: Very light on lychee flavor, there's a combination of lychee and a light rose scent. It's layered with sponge cake, 2 layers of jelly. Sweetness similar to Asian cake.

There were so many options, and everything in the display case looked fresh and tempting. The pastries I tried were really delicious -- soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It felt like the kind of bakery where people actually care about quality instead of just making things look pretty. The vibe inside was cozy and relaxed, which made it easy to slow down for a bit and enjoy everything. It's definitely the kind of place I'd come back to whenever I want good pastries and coffee without going somewhere overly trendy or complicated.

Before going back to Vegas on a Saturday morning, my husband and I decided to stop by Yamazaki…read moreBakery in LA! Located in the Japanese Village Plaza in downtown Los Angeles, Yamazaki Bakery is one of the many popular destinations for people who are interested in trying Japanese style baked products and snack foods. The legacy of this bakery in the LA area represents an intersection of traditional Japanese baked products and LA style food preferences! Some of their menu items include limited to soft bread loaves, sweet pastries, as well as savory steamed buns. It is also one of the many places you can stop at while shopping or dining at the many other shops and restaurants in Little Tokyo. The menu at Yamazaki Bakery is one that is most notable! There are a variety of baked goods available at Yamazaki (e.g., the green tea roll cake and the strawberry cream roll), there are also other classic options like (e.g., cream puffs, matcha cream puffs) in addition to the some other unique options at Yamazaki (i.e., the curry filled bun, the nikuman steamed buns, and the jalapeno cheese dog). In addition to these traditional options, the light fare offered by the bakery (e.g., the fruit cream sandwich) provides a viable alternative as well! There is a second location in South San Pedro Street with similar lineup of fresh breads and treats. While we visited Yamazaki Bakery, we ended up getting the following Apple Cheesecake Baked Cheesecake Curry Bun The apple cheesecake and the baked cheesecake tasted very similar. There was a lemon base to both cheesecakes. The Apple did have some apple flavoring in it though, but I felt the lemon was the highlight flavor of the cheesecake. Our favorite was the curry bun! It was packed with flavor. There are some tables you can sit at in the Japanese Village Plaza. Luckily it wasn't busy early Saturday morning! The service at Yamazaki Bakery was fantastic!!

They're also very on-trend, whenever a Korean dessert goes viral, they usually have it here. Recently, they even started selling butter tteok, and I heard it was one of the first places to have it in K-town. I highly recommend the salted bread. Honestly, I think it's even better than the famous spot everyone talks about. My favorite is the corn cheese, it's especially delicious when it's warm. I also tried the Korean chamoe (melon) smoothie, and it was very refreshing. It tasted like they used real melon, since there was a slight natural tanginess that made it even better. There is free parking, though the lot is a bit small. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the seating area is somewhat limited too

I used to stop by this bakery whenever I was in Ktown because I thought it was pretty solid. But…read moreafter today, I've definitely changed my mind. I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.

And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.

Thus, this review is long overdue, but is still a work in progress as I'll have to reacquaint myself with their other menus. Making an impromptu visit here for dessert/coffee on Mother's Day reminded me why BL needs a review. Cuisine: 4/5. Solid. Again, I need to reacquaint myself with their other menus. That said, even without a reservation, it's worth it to stop in to sample their beautiful selection of patisserie and have a good coffee and/or a digestif. Beverages: 4/5. Blood Orange Negroni was definitely enjoyable. No complaints. Service: 4/5. Staff is friendly and unpretentious. Say less. Ambiance: 5/5. One of the few places I've been to in L.A. that reminds me of a Parisian brasserie/patisserie. Lively, but much classier than large chain restaurants. It's aesthetically enjoyable with a bright decor--a must check-out for the city. Been provecho.
